SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 5.-The lnvestiga-

to the British empire by pursuing the same
nolicy followed by the East India company
when Great Britain acquired her posses
sions in India. 1t was designed to COLOMBO
Lower California and secure concessions
from the Mexican government, and then to
nroyoke strife and frequent dissensions.
English capital and land interests would
hen be ieopardized and the Intervention
of the mother country was to be invoked.

aeents of the company substantiated by

against the importation of American

The superstition of actors and actresses
extends to all the smallest minutiR Of
their business, and one peculiar fad with
many of them is to seek out some little,
insignificant shop in some un~frequented
locality where they a buy their wigs,
their footwear, their powder n paint,
and so on. Happy is he or she who can
discover some such place that has been
little known before, for is it not an au-
gury of good fortune? Many theatrical
people abjure entirely the large and well
known establishments that deal in the
atrical supplies and give their patronage
to less ~pretentious places down town.
There is a sort of Freemasonry in the
profession by which the news of the find
ing of these small shops is passed from
ear to ear, so that a considerable patron
age in time accrues to the lucky proprie-
tor. On the other hand, there are those
who are more selfishly inclined and keep
their lucky ''finds" TO themselves as far
as possible, believing that the "spel"
will be broken if they say much about
it or advertise it even to their friends

to have two large teeth extracted. The
dentist who vas to pull the teeth has n
piano in his reception room. His patient
came and brought a little friend. Instead
of proceeding to the chair, however, she
paused at the piano. Would you like
me to play for you, doctory' said she. On
receiving an affirmative answer she exc
cuted a gay waltz, and then said: per
haps you would like t. hear both of us
play. Shall we try a duet?" This ac-
complished, the young diplomat offered
to sing, and the doctor expressing great
delight at the prospect she did so; then
the two little girls sang together, and
then, having either gained courage
enough or recognizing that the evil hour
could not be further delayed, she arose
from the piano, walked composedly to
the chair and stood the tooth pulling
without a murmur.-Detroit Free Press.

The Rush Into the Sioux Lands-Many
Claimants to Each Lot.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 13.-Tuesday af-
ternoon Colonel Lassen, in command OF
the military at Fort Pierre, received an
official telegram from the War Depart.
ment officially announ cling the Presi
dents proclamation opening the Sioux
reservation and that the military forces
should be withdrawn. Information to
this effect was sent to the daily papers
Of this city, and Immediately extra
copies were put out announcing the fact.
Vehicles of all kinds were Immediately
called out and packed with men of all
classes and there was an exciting race
for the reservation. Every body who
could get transportation joined the ex-
cited crowd, and those who could not
ride walked. In thirty minutes the town
was practically deserted stores closed
and business almost suspended.
At Fort Pierre the situation is serious.
The bulk of the crowd first struck that
village and Immediately commenced to
claim town lots, there being as many as
ten claimants to one lot. Some trouble
has already arisen and the indications
are that before long there will be
some fighting by those who are disput-
ing the possession of lots, as ten wagon
loads Of beer and whisky left this city
for Fort Pierre with several gambling
outfits. The liquor had been prevented
on the reservation heretofore, but last
night it was as free as water. Gambling
was going on openly in the streets last
night. +. W. Pettigrew, brother of SEN
ator Pettigrew, has charge of the town
and is at the head of vigilance COM
mittee in the absence of any law. He
will profit immensely from the sale Of
Fort Pierre town lots.

THE RIOT AT HULL.

Scene In tho Canadian Parliament ON Ac-
count OF the Maltreatmont Of Evange-
lists.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 13.-In the House
OF Commons last night, the riot at Hull
was brought up by Mr.. Charlton, NJ. p.
He was ordered to desist by the Speaker
on point OF order. Mr.. McMullin
moved that the Speaker leave the chair
and characterized his ruling as that OF
an interested party and wholly unjust.
Speaker Quimet, French Canadian,
then allowed Mr.. Charlton to continue
and he characterized the riot as one Of
the most disgraceful attacks ever made
upon the freedom of speech and
universal religious suffrage. A small
band Of Protestant evangelists
were stoned, beaten and threat
ened with death for proclaiming the
truths Of the Christian religion by q
bowling mob Of French Canadians. The
authorities were totally unable to cope
with the crowd and the fact that murder
was not committed was simply miracle.
This matter demanded the immediate
attention of the Government. II imme-
date action was not taken he charged
the Government with foul injustice and
neglect.
Sir John Macdonald, in rage, charged
Mr.. Charlton with posing as the cham.
pion OF particular religious class. He
despised such an action and said If the
last speaker had any sincerity he would
have formed one Of an escort to protect
the evangelists. The matter was one
which could only be dealt with by the
Government of the Province of Quebec.
All that was necessary to quell the
riots was for two magistrates to
sign requisition and all the military
OF Canada would have turned out to pro-
tect the evangelists. He charged Mr..
Charlton with desire to raise a dis
turbance and animosities.
Mr. Charlton, now thoroughly aroused,
arose but was greeted with perfect
storm of abuse. The Speaker ordered
him to stop speaking, but 'he re-
fused. A tremendous uproar followed
and insulting remarks were hurled from
one side of the House to the other.
Mr.. Charlton insisted upon replying,
but the Speaker objected, and Hon. Peter
Mitchell attacked Speaker Quimet for
injustice and moved an adjournment.
Mr.. Charlton, continuing, said that the
utterances Of the Premier were false and
calculated to cause civil war. Tire
mendous uproar. If the Government
continued, an armed Protestant force
would be raised in Ottawa to clean out
the French-Canadians in Hull.
Mr. Flynn characterized Mr.. Charlton
as firebrand. After continued uproar
lasting nearly half an hour the matter
was allowed to drop
