THE INDIAN IDEA.

Those who Would Teach It to Shoot
Must BE at Least Up to the Standard.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Commissioner
Morgan, of the Indian Office, has pre-
pared circular letter which is now sent
to all applicants for positions as Indian
school teachers. In it he says: "It is
the purpose of the Office to appoint no
person as a teacher in the Indian school
service who would not be able to secure
a similar position in the best schools for
white children in the community in
which he resides. Indeed, the exigen-
cies of the Indian schools are such as to
require higher order of talent to secure
success than is required in ordinary
teaching. Emphasis is laid on the fact
that those who are engaged in the In
dian schoolservic should be persons OF
maturity, of vigorous health, with some
experience in teaching, and with spe
cial fitness for the work. Preference is
expressed for those who have had a nor.
NAL school training. 1t is very unde
sirable that persons should enter the ser
vice who, by reason of ill health, age, OF
other infirmities, are unable to do full
vipOrOIls work

Foreign News.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-According to the
National Zeitung of Berlin, which
claims to have positive information on
the subject, the agreement reached at
the recent conference between Emperor
William and Lord Salisbury, to all in
tents and purposes, amounts to an ALI
ance between Germany and England.
Although no formal treaty was con-
cluded, memorandum was drawn up
covering the points upon which an un-
derstanding was reached. 1t is certain
that this memorandum provides for the
contingency of war in which either
nation might become involved, and de-
fines the obligations assumed, in such an
event, by the other. The German press
seems to be quite generally agreed that
80 much has been accomplished, and
some well informed newspapers even go
SO far as to say that treaty is in course
of preparation. This, however, is prob
ably incorrect. The French press is
INA PERFECT FERMENT
over the whole business, and the opposi-
ton papers are charging the govern
ment with having driven England into
the arms of Germany by their foolish
policy of irritating her, notably in the
Egyptian conversion scheme, upon
which England had set her heart, and
in the repeated protests against British
occupation in Egypt, about which
France need not have cared button.
Even so conservative an organ as La
France, while upholding the refusal OF
NJ. Spuller, the foreign minister, to
sanction the conversion, still condemns
the petty policy of irritation to which
the government resorted in its treat
ment of England, and expresses the fear
that such a policy may yet drive the
English into the triple alliance.

and more durable as it is exposed to the

Think MoCune Is the Man.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug. 13.-It
is reported that James McCune is the
person who robbed the Wisconsin Gen.
trail train. McCune is known by five
aliases. About four years ago one knott
had in his possession time checks for
over $1,000. All these checks were
stolen. McCune and a chum named
Doyle were charged with this theft, but
the evidence was not sufficient to con-
vict them. Last spring he was arrested
in saloon by ID. Hollen upon a charge
of forging note on his brother-in-law
for several hundred dollars. The latter
resides at st. Charles, Mimi, and had
offered a reward of 800 for his capture.
The description given of him tallies with
that given by men here who have asso-
ciated with him for the last eight years.

CONTEST FOR CELESTIAL TRADE.
How Importers Bring Tea from China
to the New York Market.

I'd the new hOrk mArkeGs
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Packed with
tea from stem to stern, from keelson to
main deck, the big 3,O00-ton Glen line
steamship Glen Shiel, one of the fastest
China vessels afoat, arrived here on
Wednesday. All available space was
taken mp. In all there were $3.50 tons,
or 10000 packages of tea.
The Glen Shiel, on this trip from Yo-
kohama, steamed about 1900 nautical
miles, or more than half way around the
earth, and she accomplished the dis
lance in fifty. nine days.
China tea ships now have a rival in
the railroad. Several importers are
bringing tea from China ports to San
Francisco and then by rail to New York.
The steamers have for long time held
there own and got here ahead of the tea
trains, but lately the trains are leading,
and the water route is losing ground.
An old shipper, speaking of this says:
1.-THE result of this will not reduce the
price of tea materially. The fact is that
there is barely enough tea picked in
China to supply the demand, and the
market is never overstocked."

THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Two Travellers Imprisoned in Deserted
Tunnel by Fire for Five Days without
Food.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. 13.-John
Bloom and Louis Stiff, just returned
from trip to the Occur D'Alene, give
the details of a thrilling experience. On
July 30 they left Murray, Idaho, foI
Missoula, Mont, with two wagons and
four horses. They had been warned al
Murray that the journey would be dan.
gerous on account of forest fires raging
along the line from there to Thompson.
A few hours after they started the roar
of flames was heard, and they urged
their teams as rapidly as possible. Fl
nally they were overtaken, and leaving
their teams in a deep ravine, ran for
shelter in a deserted tunnel which
happened to be in the dense timber.
Their place of refuge was entirely sur
rounded, and it was five days before
they were able to get out. The impris-
oned men were entirely shut from their
wagons containing provisions and it was
impossible for them to obtain food.
There was small spring in the tunnel
from which they obtained water, but
they were without food nearly all five
days of their confinement. When the
flames had burned out they found that
two of their horses had persisted and the
othet two were in sad plight.
