Further Operations by the British Troops
Prevented by Snow.
CALCUTTA, Dec. 1.-THE question of
further operations on the part of the Brit
ish troops against the Hunza Niger tribes
in the vicinity of Gilgil and Fort Nilt near
the Pamir frontier, has been settled for the
present by the weather. Snow has fallen
in those places and the surrounding country
to such an extent that military operations
are impossible. 1t was feared that COM
munication with the troops had been cut off
on account of the snow, but advices dated
the 11th inst. were received to-day, showing
the fear to be groundless. The officers and
men wounded in the recent storming and
capture of Fort Nit and the subsequent
pursuit of the tribesmeD in the mountains
are still making good progress toward re-
covery. The troops are well supplied with
food, ammunition, etc, in quantities suffi-
cient TO last until the snow disappears.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24-To-night the
jury in the Palmer forgery case returned
verdict of not guilty, after being out
about three hours.
The case thus closed is probably the
last of a series of trials in which Senator
Fair has figured as prosecuting witness
against the eex-manager his Yolo County
ranch, II. J. Palmer.
Palmer was charged with embezzlement
and forgery by Senator Fair, land suits were
at different times brought against him in
Yolo, Sacramento and Solano Counties.
The allegations of the prosecutions in all
the suits were in substance that Palmer,
as manager of Senator Fairs ranches,
had appropriated money and then covered
his shortage by falsifying the books,
forging receipts for wages and placing
fictitious names on the payroll, himself
drawing the wages claimed to have been
paid.
The suits in the counties named were
all decided in favor of Palmer, and the
prosecution then brought the matter to
this county and had Palmer indicted on
eighteen charges of forgery.
Palmer'S defense has been that W. P,
Clarke, bOokeeper on Senator Fairs
ranch, was the guilty party.
The trial just closed was upon the first
OF the eighteen charges of forgery. 1t is
expected that the remaining charges will
now be dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The doctors
thought Senator Hearst was sinking very
fast yesterday, but to the surprise of all
he has frightened up, and to-day was in
cheerful spirits. He is able to recognize
friends and members of his family. His
son, w. r. Hearst, and John Follinsbee,
were with him this afternoon, and the
Senator smoked cigar, chatted with
them and seemed to take a lively interest
in temporal affairs.
OF course, this Improvement is only
temporary. The blood poisoning will
gradually sap his vitality, and he will
grow weaker hour by hour until he
reaches comatose condition, from which
he will not awake. His amount of vital
ity is a source of comment among his
friends, who believe that he would pull
through all right if he was not suffering
from malady which renders death in
evitable.
AT midnight there was no change in
Senator Hears's condition. He is rest
ing quietly.
