The premier too considers ii but just that
one of the Unionists should share the respon-

Mr. Chamberlan's elevation would be pleas

According to the naval committees report
England is strong enough TO cope with any
single mar time power, but her navy suffers
by comparison with the combined strength OF
any two powers, say France and Russia.
England has sixteen battle ships to France

All Ireland is exasperated at the long sem

A TUNNEL BURNING.

An Exploding OIL Tank Fired Two Coal
ycins-To BE Damned and Flooded.
CHICAGO, Feb. GA dispatch from Gin
cinnati says: Tunnel No Ia ON the Cincin-
matt Southern road, near Sunburt, Tenn, is
still burning The tirewas caused by freight
train col ision by which tank containing
2,S0J gallons of oil was broken and set afire.
Loud explosions are heard every few min
utes, indicating that the limestone. coal ard
wood work inside the tunnel are burning.
Nearly all hopes are lost of subduing the
flames, for it is evident that two twelve inch
coal veins are burning and may continue to
do so for months
The intention is to flood the tunnel. Both
ends have been damned up and two large
streams of water have been turned in. This
may fill the tunnel in week. The tunnel is
higher in the middle than at the ends and the
coal veins are at the high point, so that the
water will hardly reach them.
If this fails an attempt will be made to
smother the flames 10y sealing the ends the
tunnel to make it air tight. Thousands of
dollars have been lost in passenger and
freight business, and 1,250-foot tunnel win
have TO be rebuilt.
The master car builder of the road SAYS the
loss win not be less than $250,OO0 while Gen.
eral Road Master Mullanc says it viii amount
to much more.

IN GREAT DANGER.
Seyenty-liye White Families at the
Mercy of the Indians.
AN OUTBREAK IS FEARED.
The Kootcnais Are 600 Strong and Are
Well Armed-Exciten,ent at Pocatell.
Idaho-AH business Places ON
the Reservation Closed.

MIssoULA, III. T., Feb %. The excitement
over the threatene outbreak OF the Indians
is growing hourly more intense. 1t is under
stood troops have been ordered 10 be in readi-
ness TO march at moments notice. There
are about seventy-five white families in all,
and about 200O Kootenai Indians who are
all armed with Martini Henry rifles. Should
an outbreak occur the whites would be ut
terly defenseless. They are l20 miles from
the Northern Pacific road at Ravelli. AT
this time there is much snow, and railroad
travel would be almost impossible. They
would be butchered before getting one-thrd
of the way.
John S. Roberts, partner of the late ]. T.
Clifford, killed at Flat Head lake by the In
Sans, Is here and says of the fight:
"The savages lay in wait for HIM and shot
him. They feared him too much to do it
openly. The Indians who did the deed are
Kootenais and not Flat Heads, as stated
The Flat Heads are allies of the whites, and
their proud boast is that they never killed a
white man,
The place where this ell took place is known
as the Upper Fiat Head country, and is COM
posed of the small settlements of Seish, Egan,
Dewersville and Ashley. Thirty miles be-
yond Ashley Is the place known as Tobacco
Plains, where the Indians live, and that is but
forty miles from the Canadian line The men
are prepared in a way TO resist an attack if
they can get their wives and children out of
harms way. The Indians get their anmuni-
ton from the Canadian line and are always
well supplied.
Dewersville, where Clifford was killed, is a
mlserably small place. 1t consists of Griggs'
cabin, the cabin occupied by the feuyman
and the United States land Office, Clifford's
store and hotel and liquor store. The place
Is a veritabic trap, and if an outbreak occurs
the whites cannot escape. Frequent appeals
have been made for company OF soldiers
Great excitement also prevails at Pocatello,
Idaho. on account of the closing of all places
of business on the reservation by order of the
Indian agent acting under instructions from
Washington. Special notices are being posted
on all businesShouses, declaring them closed
and the buildings erected since Sept /, 1888,
subject to confscation, thereby rendering
1000 people homeless. That it is the determi-
nation Of the citizens to prevent the Indian
police from destroying their property is very
manifest. Strenuous efforts are being made
to settle the difficulty and if that is not ac-
complished there may be trouble.

SECRETARY wooDRurr ARRESTED.
A Former Employe Of Ives g. Staynor
Apprehcnded In Newark.

Apprehcnded IN Newark.
NEWARK, \. j., Feb. %. Edward W.
Woodruff, who was secretary of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton railroad under
the Ives and Staynor regime, has been ar
rested at his home in this city and taken to
police headquarters. Every effort was made
to prevent his arrest from being made
known.
Detective Won Gerichten, of Inspector
Byrnes' staff, came out from New York late
in the evening, and was closeted for some
time with Chief of Police Hopper. The order
for his arrest was then made out, and Wood
ruff was arrested about ] 80.
Woodruff is only % years old He was
originally a clerk in Ives Office, and IL is
affirmed by his friends that no never knew Of
the transaction which ruined tho road. They
say his duties as secretary were merely per-
functory, and that he was not guilty of any
wrong.
1t is believed, however, that Woodruff has
been in communication with Ives lately. II
is probable that Woodruff was arrested in
order that he might be held as a witness at
the coming trial OF Ives and Staynor In New
York.

Hog and HominY.

Hog and hominy, those great Southern
ante bellum staples, go together just as
naturally as chicken fat and 'possum
jeny and yet, by some strange and I'M
accountable mental process, Texas seems
bound to divorce them. Let the hog
grow up in the shadow of the corn crib
and let the corn crib empty itself into
the hog and Texas farmers viii grow fat
as well as their porkers. Texas has the
corn; she can very easily have the hogs
and she needs the pork. Large corn
crops marketed into well-bred hogs will
pay good returns. 1t is all folly 10 talk
of no market for Texas corn. The hog is
the natural corn market of the world

BEEF MAKING.

Rapid Fattening Does Not Make as Good
Quality as the Slow, Steady Process.
It seems that explanation of the causes
for the difference in the selling value of
beeves of similar age and weight cannot
be too often repeated. Many still fail TO
see why one animal will bring a
great deal more than another,
when to the casual observer its
superiority Is slight, if at all dis
cernible from the standpoint of ordinary
inspection There are several points
bearing on this, but there is one in par
ticuIar which we desire TO emphasize in
this paragrap phi, and that is the extent to
which the manner of ripening enters into
the quality of the product. Too many
people get the idea that cattle can be
raised IN almost any way until within a
few months of slaughtering. and then be
crowded with all they will eat, turning
out first-class beef points as a result.
This is so frequently done that it
can almost be said to be
the most common mistake which
cattle feeders make. That kind OF feed
ing makes q suddenly fat animal-rolls
up great quantities of tallow, and gives,
weight without quality The ripe beeT6l
is in process of manufacture from calf
hood. 1t is kept growing from the start ;,

TACOMA, W. T., Sept. 9.-Yesterday
morning Henry Stewart of Stewart &
Holmes drug company found his shipping
clerk, Frank Clark, looking strangely
and accused him of being intoxicated.
Clark denied the. charge, but handed
over his keys on Mr.. Stewart 5 demand.
He had hardly done this before he fell
backwards iuseDsible. Clark was taken
to a doctor where it was found that he
was suffering from poison. Search of
the store revealed the fact that a bottle
OF atropine had been emptied a few
minutes previously. AS soon as Clark
had been taken to tho doctor s
office, Mr.. Stewart crossed the hall into
the room occupied by Clark, where &
woman about thirty years of age was ly-
ing dead on the bed with the back part
of her head shot off. The deputy cor
oner was notified and opened an investi
CATION, at which evidence was given to
show that the woman, Florence Cross,
had been drinking with q Northern Pas
cifc yardman and that she took him to

woman s companion and finally shot her
dead. Seeing what he had done he
swallowed poison. Clark came here from

snarinc Cows in Milk.

Dr.. Dnwiddie, in a bulletin issued by
the Arkansas experiment station, in disT
cussing the ubject of spaying cows, says:
''Iu the spaying of dairy cows the OBJ.
ject aimed at is the production of milk
rather than that of fat Cows which are
spaved at the age in which they give the
largest yield of mlk-after third calf
provided they are fed and tended prop
erly, continue to milk in almost undi-
miniShed quantity, except as Influenced
by the food for very considerable period
after being thus operated upon. The
length of time is somewhat I'M
certain, but is usually stated
to be two or three years
and as a rule the dimiuution in the flow
of milk Is accompanied by a gradually
progressive accumulation of fat. Spay-
ing for this purpose has been practiced,
although only to a limited extent, in
many OF the dairy farms of the East, and
when performed on such COWS as are
from any cause undesirable to breed
from, there can be no question of its
utility. Spaymg also has long been rec
OgniZed as having a beneficial effect on
the quality of the milk, increasing its
fatty and nutrtive properties, although
I am not aware that this has been exper-
mentally tested. y
