GORDON'S TAKING OFF.

The last hours of Gordon at Khar-
tOum are described in dispatches to
London ON January 18th from Gen
erai Greufell at Suakim, who was at
Khartoum the night it was taken.
IL was dreadful night. Near day
break Grenfell was told: All the
great officers of the AIahdi had gone
to kill Gordon Pasha." He saw
Gordon smoking a cigarette on the
balcony. He was told to fly, but in
dignantly refused to leave his post.
As Gordon boldly stood facing the
dervishes several superior Mahdist
Generals came up. The dervishes
all allowed them to pass. They
ascended the steps and asked for the
Pasha
Gordon met them saying, & am

military fashion, intimating that he
knew they had taken the place, and
consequently he surrendered accord
ing to the usage5 Of war. But Nassas,
one Of the Generals, snatched hold
OF the sword, at the same time, in a
brutal and most cowardly manner,
striking Gordon an unexpected
blow. The Pasha would have fought
desperately had he thought he
would not be treated in an honor
able manner. He fell, rolling down
the stairs. As he rolled another
General speared him on the left side,
infiicting dangerous wound.
Thus died Gordon. l was there a

THE DANGERS OF GASOLINE.

The recent deplorable mishap by
which three persons lost their lives,
and several others, including the
popular host of the Beaver Saloon.
received painful injuries, ought not
to pass out of the public memory
until the practical lessons which
such an occurrence is calculated to
teach, nave been taken seriously TO
heart by all concerned. Importers
and merchants who deal in gasoline
and analogous substances as merch-
andize, as well as those who have the
immediate handling of such goods,
should understand thoroughly their
nature and properties, the conditions
under which they become dangerous,
and the precautions which need to
be taken in consequence.

Trouble in China.
News has been received of a riot
at Chin keang Foo, treaty port
about 200 miles up the river from
Shanghai. The British Consulate
and the houses Of a number Of for
eigners were wrecked. i British
man-of-war was dispatched to the
scene at once. Ching keaEg Foo is
one Of the most important Chinese
ports. Its imports are greater than
those Of any other place in China,
except Shanghai. As d consequence
the place has many foreign residents.
Further advices say that the Am
erican Consulate at Ching Keang
Foo was looted by a mob, that a
European hotel was fired, and that
the foreigners were fleeing over the
hills for their lives.
The whole Of the foreign cOmmun-
ity Of Ching Keang Foo, with the
exception OF d dozen Customs and
Consular officials, arrived safely at
Shanghai. They report that the
foreign concession has been almost
destroyed. The American Mission
chapel outside the concession has
been burned, and the place is IN the
hands Of the Chinese. It is stated
that Chinese officials and soldiers
abetted the conspiracy. American
and British men-of-war have arrived
there.
Some Canadian Concerns.
Vallancay z. Fuller OF Hamilton,
Ontario, has assigned. Liabilities,
100000; assets, considerably less.
The schooner Triumph has been
chartered to proceed to the Sandwich
Islands from Victoria with the sub
marine cable now on its way from
England via the Canadian Pacific.
The cable will be used in connecting
the islands, thus giving teIegraphic
communication from one end Of the
group to the other.
Mr. Foncher, a leading Conserva-
tive, put the following question to
Premier MERCER: "What position
does the Government of the Province
of Quebec intend to take with regard
to Mr.. Bntterworth's joint resolution
introduced in the Congress of the
United States which authorizes the
President to negotiate with reference
to the union and assimilation with
the United States, of the Dominion
of Canada or Of one or more Of the
provinces thereof?"
The question of a commercial
union OF annexation is daily assum-
ing greater Importance in Quebec.
The Liberal members OF Parlia-
ment, in caucus at Ottawa, decided
to continue the present policy, which
favors unrestricted reciprocity with
the United States A resolution to
this effect Will be introduced IN the
House shortly.
The biggest storm ever known is

MONKEY MINERS.
A Useful Hint to the Seekers Of Gold
In Montana,

Captain Il. Metz, who.was.born in Yam.
keeland, tells the story of the queer
little animals who work for him IN the
mines. He Is u typical New Englander
from Vermont, and fought In the Union
army during the rebellion and settled
In the South after the war. His mines
are situated near Chesterfield, in South
Carolina, about twenty miles oil the
railroad.
II have twenty-four monkeys" said
he, employed about my mines. They
do the work well Of seven able bodied
men, and II ~ no reflection upon the
human laborors to say they do class of
work man cannot do as well. In
many instances they lend valuable aid
where man would be useless. They
gather up small pieces of quartz that
and pile them up in little heaps that can
be easily gathered up in shovel and
thrown into the mill They are ex-
ceedingly adept at catching the little
particles. Their sharp eyes never escape
the very things that the human eyes
would pass over"
How did you first come to employ
them2"

They seemed to enjoy the labor very
much and would go to the mines every
morning and work there during the day,
1t did not take me long catch on to
their value as laborers, for at that time
our workingmcn, who are mostly
colorcd men, were unskillod and often

further cohabitation of tho same country
on equal terms will be impossible.
This utteranco unconsciously reveals q
radically false and mischievous habit of
thinking which is unfortunately very
common and the prevalence of which Is
the chief source of difficulty.
IT is as laborer only that ho is use

and degraded In order that he may con.
tinue to be ''useful to the white man" as
q laborer2 If that is sound doctrine
pie should be to restore slavery, which
was the organized expression of this
But there Is even more radically false
thinking than this In the utterance
quoted. The assumption that education
units man for efficiency as laborcr is
utterly unsound and insulting to all who
tOll. AS uIl ODScTNti IuCt tutTt IL no
kind of labor In the world which is not
more capably done by laborers whose
minds are enlightened than by
those who linger in ignorance. 1t was

worked and out-fought the illiterate. 1t
is education which makes the American
laborcr In every department of industry
more efficient workman than the brti-
talized, ignorant toilcr of lands In which
the free school Is unknown.
1t is true that the educated man among
laborers who are uneducated Is apt to
find more profitable employment than
mere hard labor, but that is only because
the demand for intelligence is greater in
proportion to the supply than is the de-
inand for mere physical strength. The

has survived from less civilized ages, and

the negro question must be due recog.
milton of the negro's equal right to con.
sideration In the matter The question
is not what is best for the white man
alone, but what is right and best for the
common veal. When the question IL
approached from that point of view
education will make the negro an intel
ligent and willing co-worker with tho
white man towards the desired discov.
cry of modus vivendi.
Unfortunately nobody approaches the
matter in that spirit. On the one side
it is only the white mans convenience
that is considered; on the other, with
equal perversity, the only question
asked is, What will give the negro the
whip-hand? Hence the intolerable sit
uation into which we have fallen.

WYOMING BEARS.
An Exciting Hand-to- Hand Battle he.
tween Two Men and Five Angry
Bruins.
Laramie Boomerang.l


Among the hunting parties now en-
gagged in slaughtering the wild beasts of
Wyoming Is one composed of Judge
Dundy, a well-known member of the
Nebraska Judiciary; II. ID. Esterbrook,
III. J. Davis Ed Clark, Mr.. Marble and
Elmer d. Frank, the last named being
the proprietor of the Forty-mile ranch.
All except Mr.. Frank are residents of
Omaha, and include some shining lights
in the legal profession.
This party Is now camped in the Hal
Jock canyon, and two or three days ago
at least two members Of the party had
an exciting experience. For some time
there has been a tradition to the etict
that five bears made their home in that
vicinity. Several parties have reported
having seen the animals. though none
of them made any attempt at killing
them.
The other day Messrs. Frank and
Clark were passing a thick growth of
willows on the Sybille, when they heard
a noise In the brush. They started 10
investigate, when suddenly the five bears
rushed out and confronted them. They
acted as quickly as possible and used
tHclI w WIN uedulN tutCI
upon three. Five were too many for
them, however, and before they could
even fire at the remaining two the beasts
were upon them. They were three
miles from camp and literally in the en-
brace of two bears.
Then onsued mighty struggle for
liberty. The bear which threw Its pow
eriuil arms arourd Frank was evidently
there for business. Frank succeeded lii
slipping his head under one of the bear s
fore legs SO that the brute could not
attack It, and, obeying the instinct of
self-preservation, reached around to his
hip pocket for his knife. The act was
quickly interpreted, for the bear buried
his teeth i'm his hand and bit it through,
Meanwhile Clark had succeeded in
freeing himself from the bear which had
attacked him and had dispatched it.
He promptly came to Frank assistance
and shot in the back the bear which
clutched the latter. This so enraged
the beast that it Immediately released
Frank and attacked Clark. Frank now
turned rescuer, and, notwithstanding
the severe injury to his hand, succeeded
III getting in good shot, which struck
the bear in the shoulder and brought it
to the ground. Both men were badly
scratched and bruised and their clothing
was torn.
