THE BEAR AND TIE LIoN.-Thc vast
but quiet movements of Russia, down thro
central Asia, have at length, it is said, caus-
cd tile British, government to bestir itself
for the protection of its interests in that Sec
ton. The stealthy manner in which Russia
has extended her possessions has prevented
much notice outside Of those people directly
interested In one campaign last summer, Il
territory equal in extent to Great Britain
itself was added to the Cars Empire, with
millions of inhabitants and an immense
amount productive soil. This is only one
of the many extensions that Russia has been
making, absorbing here Kahnate and there
a tribe; and as Central Asia is quite out OF
the range of usual information and commu-
nication, and the people are thoroughly ac-
customed to subjecton and occasional chan
ges of allegiance, the progress OF tho Coloss-
us of the North has caused little or no notice.
The report that the great portion OF the In
dian-Anglo army is moving to the North,
and that the British Government is making
up DISPATCHES on the subject, indicate that
at length the jealous fears of that nation are
aroused as the bear creeps down toward the
quarry already under the lions PAW.
A RoMNTIC STORY ABOUT MORGAN
A singular story comes up from the Western
plains protesting to solve the mystery con-
nected with the disappearance OF Morgan IN
1926, an event which created intense eS-
element throughout the whole country in
his day, in consequence Of the supposItlon
that he had been secretly killed by the Free
Masons for having published book betray-
ing their secrets. 1t is now alleged that he
was taken q captive in Texas, where nc cs,
caped and joined of band Apachcs. Ofcourse
he married the Chief daughter, snd in time
became the Chief, teaching the tribe military
tactics, and initiating them all into the mys-
teries of Free Masonry. At good old age
he died, leaving his half-breed son to reign
in his stead. and is now buried in the ''Gold'
en- Mountain" in a tomb, which has become
an Apache Mecca, and where all the tribes
meet yearly to worship on the 24th OF June
The Story is entirely too wild for credcncc
but being the last development of what has
been an imprenetrable mystery, 1t is perhaps
worthy Of a passing note
