The news received at the war de.
partment as the result of the efforts
being made by western army officers
to carry out the provisions of the
army appropriation bill authorizing
the enlistment in the regular army
of 1000 Indian recruits is very dis
couraging. The officers report that
the Indians will not enlist in the in
fantry under any circumstances as
they abhor walking. They will not
enlist in the cavalry except as scouts,
because they do not care to bind them
selves to five years service nor to be
subject to removal to distant parts of
the country. Then, too, they want
their women with them and the great
majority of bucks are physically unfit
for military service.

CHARLES WEEKS. an expert account
ant, was admitted to the county hospi-
tai at Chicago for treatment three
months ago. He had fallen from the
top of a car and hurt his head. which.
however, had healed. When admitted
he was apparently in fairly good health,
but his whole system seemed to have a
peculiar aversion to the touch of hui
man being, which sent thrill through
him like that produced by an electric
shock. He could not perform his daily
work because of the unavoidable con-
tact with people, particularly in street
cars Physicians are puzzled.

The queen wants to appoint
Prince Henry of Battenberg to the
post of warden of the Cirque ports,
made vacant by the death of Earl
Granville. No salary is attached to the
place, but there goes with it splendid
residence and free quarters in Walmer
castle. Lord Salisbury opposes the
nomination, insisting the premier's
right to appoint the warden. The
queen refuses, however, to recognize
the premier's power to interfere with a
crown nomination.

A VIENNA dispatch says that very
little interest has been aroused there
by the reported slaughter in Amer
lea of number of Hungarians and
Poles. The emigration of that kind
is from the lowest dregs of the empire
and the Austrian government is the
most aristocratic in Europe, even the
electors being of substantial and SUI
perior class. No official information
has been given on the subject, but it
was stated on well informed authority
that there would not be an official in
Quiry into the matter.

CHARLES H. CnAMP, the head of the
great ship building firm, says New
York is in no danger from the Italian
ironclads. They'll never come over
here" he said, confdentially. In the
first place they can't carry coal enough
to make such a voyage, and they could
find no place here to recoal. Then
their great draught would make it i'm
possible for them to do much damage
on this side. They are not familiar
with our coast and would be in con-
slant danger of grounding"

THE English conservative press ap-
ply the difficulty between Italy and
America to illustrate the evil that
would result from the concession of
home rule to Ireland, and the compar-
ison will have undoubted potency in
electoral platforms. If autonomy
should be granted to Ireland. it is ar
gued, how could the Irish be compelled,
except forcibly, to observe foreign or
imperial obligations? The conservatives
fling about with delighted surprise
these new reasons against home rule.

TO STEAL INDIAN LAND.

Trouble Imminent Over Attempt Of
Whites to Squat ON seabird Island.
New WEsrN1NsrER, Feb 26.--[Special. l.
vicinity of Seabird island, large Indian
reserve about seventy miles up the Fraser,
containing some 500 acres of land. Last
week twenty white men moved onto the
island, staked out claims and built shacks,
expressing determination to stay in def
ance of law and redskins The island is
set apart for the use Of eleven bands of In
dians, who, however. do not occupy more
than few acres of it.
When the report spread up and down
the river that white men had taken pos
session of . portion q their land, the In
dians gathered fully armed from all parts,
determined to evict the squatters at the
muzzle of the rifle. Indian Agent Nc
Tiernan was telegraphed to and wired
back, ordering the Indians to stay HOSTILE
ties until he arrived. They obeyed, but
went over the land and pulled out all
stakes which had been planted.
On arrival Mr.. McTiernan found the
Indians excited and ready to fight, and
some of the white men in exactly the same
position, some of the latter going so far as
to swear they never would be removed
alive. Mr.. McTiernan arranged truce on
both sides until he got more authority on
the subject from the Indian department.
His instructions were received today and
officers will be sent up as soon as possible
to remove the settlers. There may be
some hot work and shots may be fired, as
some of the squatters are hot-headed and
determined, to force the government to
open the reserve

A COASTER TERRIBLY INJURED
Sad Accident Among the Revelers ON
Vancouver Hills.

Sad Accident Among the Revelers ON
Vancouver Hills.
VANCOUVER, Feb. 26.-[Special. IA most
shocking accident occurred here about 8
o'clock this evening. The recent heavy
snow storms have caused the numerous
hills and steep streets in different portions
of the city to be used for coasting. For
several evenings past hundreds of persons
of both sexes have been enjoying this re-
creation. Only few slight accidents have
occurred up to tonight, sore shlns and
turnovers being the only ones.
Ont on Mount Pleasant, in the southern
portion of the city, there is long, steep
incline several hundred yards in length,
and on this account that place has fairly
swarmed with people ever since the first
snowfall. Charlie keefer, q young man
about II years old, in company with sew
eral others, was coasting down the hill at
a very rapid rate, when his sled came in
collision with vehicle coming up the
grade, causing young Keefer to be thrown
against one of the wheels, crushing in
part of his face and skull, breaking his left
leg between the knee and ankle, dislo-
eating his right knee, and breaking three
of his ribs. 1t is impossible to state
whether his injuries will prove fatal.
Immediately after the accident the police
stopped the rest of the coasters, and have
forbidden coasting on any streets of the
city. Young Keefer was alive and con-
scious tonight

\. Boone, well-known contractor, sue
ceeded in committing suicide by shooting
himself with pistol through the forehead
early this morning. This was the third
attempt he had made to take his life. The
shooting must have taken place this morn
ing about O'Clock, as he was seen on the
street late last night and distinctly heard
in his room by one of the proprietors OF
the Louvre saloon. who occupies room
immediately adjoining that of the unfor-
tunate.
At about half-past O'Clock the first
knowledge of the terrible tragedy was as
certained by a painter of the name of
Brown, who had some work to do in
Boone's shop this morning. When he en-
tered the shop he discovered blood on the
floor, which he perceived had trickled
from the floor above On suspicion that
sOfne crime had been committed, or some
sM the Inmates of the upper apartments
had met with an accident, he went and
informed David Spoor of his discovery.
They then notified officer Furlong, who
went with them to the shop. Of
iicer Furlong proceeded up stairs and
forced the onter door open and
Then he went into q room at the rear of
the building, where a horrible sight met
his gaze. It was the PROSTATE form of
Boone lying on his face in pool of blood.
Under his form was q pistol and looking
glass. He turned thobody over and found
the face covered with blood issuing from
the wound, the features almost beyond
recognition.
Boone left q letter in which in rambling
way he blames whisky tor all his troubles.
The only relatives of deceased are his
mother and sister, residing at North Beach,
near San Francisco.

He Imported Opium With Gardnsr-A
Celebrated Case.
TACOMA, Feb. 26.-[Special. Chester L.
Terry, an ex-custom inspector of Seattle,
appeared in the United States district
court today and on the recognizance of
Judge Roger s. Greene, of Seattle, was
released in $500 bonds to appear for trial
the first day of the next term of court, on
the charge Of having smuggled opium into
this country, in company with Edwin A..
Gardner, in 1883.
Terry came over today with the inten-
ton of pleading guilty to the second count
of the indictment which charges him with
concealing the contraband opium. This
he could not do inasmuch as he denied
taking any part in smuggling the opium
into this country. He will accordingly
stand trial on the first count and then
plead guilty to the second.
Terry and Gardner were charged with
conceaIing 500 pounds of opium valued at
$1,000. Terry escaped to Victoria and
Gardner stood trial and was acquitted,
subsequently being sentenced to eight
years imprisonment for smuggling in New
York state.
