MEXICAN BANDITS.
RumOred Capture Of a Ranch

United States Troops.
Looking for GaTza-The Whereabouts Of
The Revolutionary Leader Mystery.
DiStruSt Along The Border.
Epecial TO THE MORNING CAar..

DEL RIO CTexl, Jan. IA prominent
stockman from near Langley reports that
he saw twenty y-six revolutionists cross the
Rio Grande yesterday; also that Mexican
told him that a band had captured the
Piedras Blanco Ranch in Mexico, sixty
miles from Dryden, and that fighting was
going on in that vicinity The Mexican
told him there were $500 rebels in that re-
gon. all armed and in good fighting trim.
SOLDIERS ON GUARD.
DEL RIO Tex, Jan. 17.-About thirty or
OF forty United States soldiers arrived here
last night and cami ed at the ford of the Rio
Grande River to guard it. Another detach-
ment Is at the mouth of the Sycamore for
the same purpose The Mexicans here are
quiet, and from all that can be learned do
not appear to be organizing.
RANGERS ORGANIZED.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. lit is rumored
here that CARA will soon be captured.
General Reyes has organized five columns
Of rangers for operations between Laredo
and MatamOras and it is thought if the
American troops force the reyolutiOnists
over to their side this capture is sure. Ru-
moTs OF revolutionary proceedings in Chi
huahua, Durango, SOnoiO and CUhahuila
are without foundation. The Government
Is not sending any more troops to the north
ern frontier considering theirpresence there
unnecessary.
DIsTRUST ALONG THE BORDER
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 1.-THE Cara trou-
bles have apparently subsided, as far as
open hOstilities are concerned. But there
is sull widespread diStrust all along the
border that the willy reyolutionist may bob
up again at any place and troops viii re-
main in the field. So far as Cara is con-
cerned, there is no reliable information as
to his whereabouts or plans, but this is no
indication that he has given up the move
ment or is without sympathiZsTs or sup
p0Iters. The report that he is in the yicin-
ity Of Eagle Pass with considerable follow
ing appears to be without foundation.
While the movement has been beltted from
the first by the Mexican authorities, it has
no less 0perat d TO tie detriment of Mexico
from business standpointif not politically.
a LONG DROUGHT.
EAGLE PASS Tex, Jan. IA promi-
neDt gentleman visiting here, speaking of
the Cara revolution, says 1t amounts to
little. That the Clerical party, while
still entertaining views Of restoring its
power in Mexico, will not be successful.
There is manifested disposition to over
ride and ignore the law, especially in re-
spect 10 civil marriages. The country about
COahuila ard Durango has been without
rain for three years and naturally affairs
there are in a bad shape. Many people de-
pending on daily labor for their support
are now out of employment. The Govern
ment is selling the necessities Of life at
Rctual cost, as well as making appropria-
tons to furnish them free TO those unable
to pay for them. If rain comes these people
will all be enabled TO help themselves.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Skeleton Found by Workmen on New
High school Building.

skeleton Found by Workmen on a New
High school Building.
As the woTkmen were engaged in exca-
waiting for the foundation of the new high
school building on Z street. between Seventh
and Eighth, in the northwest corner of the
lot, they came upon the skeleton of a man,
about three feet below the surface of the
ground, says the Los Angeles Times Index
of Friday.
The remains were all punched up together
as though they had been dumped into a
small hole and then covered up One shoe
was found in a partial state Of preservation.
There were also several little trinkets which
had evidently been in the pockets of the
mans clothing, such as some copper coins,
an ivory pen-hOlder, aud a little mug, which
at one time b ad contained cream balm, and
the lettering on the same was just AS leglbe
as though it had just been taken from the
shelf in some drugstore.
The remains are those of a white man,
and not cf an Indian, and are probably the
relies OF some crime committed in this city
eight or ten years ago
The IlmeS-lndeX reporter interviewed
several of the old residents of this city to
see whether they remembered Of any
strange and sudden disappearance eight or
ten years ago, but none OF them seemed to
remember any circumstance nf that kind.
There is no doubt but what a murder has
been committed. and the victim of the muir
derer is now discovered for the first time,
and is added TO the many mysteries with
which this world abound5.
This has always been vacant land, and
has never been built upon, and ten years
ago was considered quite distance out of
town.
The proba blities are that some stranger
was murdered there in the nighttime and

THE CZAR ANGRY.
Berlin Society Agitated Over a
st. Petersburg Scandal.
Russian Diplomatic Circles and German
Army Officers Implicated.
A Carnival Interrupted BY Police Raid.
DiS6RCeful Proceedings at a Fashion
able Residence
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-Berlin society is dis
cusSing with bated breath st. Petersburg
scandal to which none dare refer openly.
Most OF the fifty or more principals are Rus
slams. But few of them are in the
highest Diplomatic circles and officers
OF corps Of the German army. The
81. Petersburg police recently informed
the Gar that many of the men in his
counsels and in Russian official life attended
ireque NihiliStic evening meetings at a
nanslon In fashionable street These
gatherings were peculiar, for a large
plumber of foreign diplomats, especially
Germans, went to them. The police
watched the house for weeks before
they received orders TO raid it, They
were then sure that tremendous Nihilstc
plot was Matching, and force of 200 police
were called out to make it certain that not
a single participant escaped. The police
were supported by four companies Of sol
diers within call and were directed by Gen
eral Gresser and a small body of detectives.
The house in which the meetings were
held was surrounded Monday night, and
when the police and detectives burst
through they we're astounded to find
themselves, instead of amid the
S0mber proceedings of revolutionary
meeting, at the open entrance Of a brilliant
ballroom filed with music and flowers
and gay with national coIors. Some
forty men and women high in socl-
ETY., in light flowing Grecian costumes were
dancing. AT small tables in the corners
half-lnt0xicated couples drank champagne.
and in small private rooms in the rear sew
eral more couples were found dining
and drinking rather freely. Gresser
took the names and official titles
Of the men and women and then hustled
everybody out Of the house. No pri soners
were taken to jail by the police. All re-
ceived on the next day paternal
admoDtions or cuffs, according to
his greater or less enjoyment of
the Imperial favor from the Gar.
Each carnival was devoted 10 the imitation
Of the dress and customs Of a particu lar
nation. On the night of the raid everything
was cast in Grecian mold. The Gar was
in rage when he heard the details OF cor
Tuptton prevalent among the nOblemen in
his army.
The result Of his examination of the
names submitted by General Gresser was
that many Russian officers and officials were
transferred to places in the provinces, and
that two Secretaries Of the Legation were
compelled tc take long vacations.
Two married women who participated
on the Grecian night have been
excluded from court and another left the
city before she was asked to go. The list Of
Germans involved In the scandal was sent
by the Gar to Emperor William and the
hope was expressed in the Cars accom-
panying letter that the offenders would be
punished severely

FIVE MILLIONS.
Proposed Government Loan or ApprOpTll-
ton to The Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Committee
on Federal Legislation Of the Worlds Fair,
in order to correct a misapprehensiOn pre-
vailng as to the separate duties on the
Worlds Columbian Commission and
Worlds Columbian Exposition, has issued
an address in explanation of the true rea-
tions of the two bodies and defining the
position of each in reference to the proposed
S5,000CO0 loan or appropriation for the
Worlds Fair. TIE address cites the fact
that the Commission is charged with the in
PRODUCTION and constitution before Congress
OF measures enabling the Commission to
carry cut the responsibilities Of the Govern
ment for the Worlds Fair. The address
continues: THE Worl1'S Columbian Expo
siti0n is a corporation under the laws of
Illinois and IS frequently called the Local
Directory rr Chicago Directory The
Worlds Columbian Commission is geneT-
ally known as the National Commission
Tie Illinois corporation is charged with the
duty of the selection of suitable sites and
proper expenditure, as agent Of the peotle
Of ChcaEo, Ot SlQOUO,OUO raised by the cltl-
ZeDS of tEat city, The Commission, which
rel lTesentS the National Government, Is
charged with the duty OF generally direct

Tie address then gives in detail the
various minor duties Of each organization,
and reviews the work of the commission,
the selection Of officers, etc. The city of
Chicago raises Sl0,OG0,OO0, and about SlI,-
C000OO IS necessary 10 actually detray the
expenses. The National Commission Is re-
Quested by the Local Directory 10 iudnrSe
the request il proposed to make to Congress
for a loan Of $1,000, 90. This request the
commission thinks but proper aud indOrses
It, conditioned upon such terms as Con-
gresS might impose. However the dITeC-
tory having now decided TO ask Congress
Tor an outright appropriation Of 5,0OOO eco,
Instead Of a loan Of that sum. and the
National Commission not having taken any
action upon the proposition (the outright
appropriation, the Commission on Federal
Legislation Of the Worlds Columbian Com
mission does net feel CaliedSupOn TO take
any part Tor or against the proposition,
which would in any sense commit the Ma
tOuRl Commission or its Board of Control
10 the same. Tie commission Will certainly
say nothing to Congress on the subject of
loan. HE address concludes with short
review OF the work done on the grounds
and the assurance that everything Will be
ready for dedication October 18TH.
ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTION.
CHICAGO, Jan. It. - Director-GeneTal
Davis was interviewed by an Associated
Press reporter Tonight regarding the posi-
tion Of the Legislative Committee Of the
National Worlds Fair Commission, as an
uCunced IN these dispatches tonight. lie
said: The commissions action conforms
with the action of the National Board Of
Commissioners at their last meeting. The
committee Is not antagOnStIc to an appTO-
priatiOn, but as its Instructions were to work
merely in the interest Of a loan, II concludes
that II has no reason 10 20 beyond that. l
Go not think the attitude Of the commission
will be bar TO the success Of the measure"

WONDERFUL CAVE.
Ceilings Of Marble and StalaCtiteS and
Floors Of Pure Silver.

PETERSBORoUGH lOntario). Jan. 1.-Two
half-brCeds were arrested here some years
ago for cOunterfeiting and were given long
terms in prison al Kingston. Their counter
feits prove to be pure silver One Of the
men died in prison and the other escaped
and was shot on the Canadian border in the
Northwest. Before dying he told his physi-
clan. DR.. Young, about a wonderful cave in
this vicinity whose floor aud sides were said
to contain large quantities OF pure silver.
This information was turned over to 4. Is.
POusett. q. G.. AS result sixty acres OF
farming land were bought near here and
mining was begun.
Ore-mners recently discovered a cliff in
the side Of a rocky hill, and passing through
narrow passage entered a magnificent
cave. The sides were found to be formed
OF marble and the ceiling and floor OF pure
silver. About fifty feet from tie entrance
was a subterranean lake extending as far as
the eye could reach. A dugout was found
upon the shelf OF rock and launched. AT
a distance of three hundred feet the eXplor-
ers found another platform leading into
second chamber The roof was about twen-
ty feet high and studded with stalactites.
Twelve pounds Of ore have been found to
contain Sll worth Of silver. Armed men
are guarding the cave. The principal stock
holders are: A. Puusett, Q. c.; 4. Y.

A SINGULAR FACT.
Why n Wooden Ware Firm Handles More
Shot Than The Regular Denlers.

why n Wooden ware Firm Handles More
Shot Than the Regular Dealers.
Not long ago two prominent hardware
men sat conyersing on different subjects,
and the question came up what ST. Louis
firm handled the most shot, says the Star
Sayings Each of the men Of iron and steel
was positive that his firm had the honor, and
in a good humored way the argument waxed
hot and heavy. Samuel Cupples, head of
the Yell-known wooden ware firm, hap
pened to be sitting near by, and he listened
to the figures quoted by each gentleman
with great amusement. At last he could
not help giving vent to a quiet chuckle.
whats the matter, Mr.. Cupples?" asked
the two others in breath.
why, the idea of yOn gentlemen arguing
over which Of you handles the most shot of
any firm in the city when handle more than
the two of you together" and Mr.. Cupples
laughed heartily.
why, how can that be?" was the aston
ished question of his listeners.
That s all right" said the old gentle
man, and he proceeded to explain. His firm
receives and ships out thousands of car
loads of light willow baskets every year.
The freight on these would be very high if
they were shipped empty, so each basket is
filled with shot to make it weigh. The
freight on the shot is, therefore, practically
nothing. So ii comes that a Woodenware
firm handles more shot than any hardware
house in the city," and Mr.. Cupples proved
it to the satisfaction of his hearers.

Mount Hamilton To-Day.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 1.-THE San Jose dele
gates TO the International League OF Press

here to-day, and many of the visitors who
had made up their minds to return to San
Francisco after lunch decided to remain
over and take the trip to Mount Hamilton.
The party left Del Monte at O'clock this
forming on a special train to Santa Cruz,
where they were received by committee
of citizens and driven around the city and
suburbs in carriages. The drive on the
beach was one of the most enjoyable
FEATURES Of the trip. At Santa Cruz the
party was transferred TO the narrow-gauge
railway and accompanied by commit
tee Of Santa Cruz people as far as the
Big Trees, where half an hour was spent
in viewing the wonders of that place.
The train arrived at San Jose at 80

the depot to welcome the guests. The COM
mittee in a short time had all seated in car
riageS, and the drive along Santa Clara and
First streets to the Hotel Vend0ma begun.
The most complete arrangements had been
made for the comfort OF the guests and the
tired, tTavel-Stiined tourists were at OTce

to make their toilets. An elaborate, but
entirely informal lunch was served, follow

able surprise. Al o'clock dinner was
served at the YendOme. This was also free

= There IS good deal of Chilean war

influence is being felt. War preparations
always excite and enthuSe the masses OF

be temporarily popular on that account.
But it seems TO be 1t would be prudent and

Twelve Hundred Elephants All Richly

II was in the professions and pageants
that elephants made the finest appearance
fitted with the magnificent trappIngs and
marching slowly along, as if conscious Of
their fine looks. One Of the most remarka-
bic shows was that at the wedding of Vizier
Ali in 1885, Here 1900 elephants were in
liue, ali richly coStumed. OF these 100 had
hOwdahS, or castles, covered with silver,
while in the center sat the nabob upon a
very large elephant, whose howdah was
covered with gold, set with jewels.
The daily parade of the elephants OF the
Court of Jehaughir was wonderful diSD,ay.
The elephants were bedecked with precious
stones, chains Of gold ana silver, gilt banners
and flags. The first elephant. called the Lord
Elephant, had the plates OF his head and
breast set with rubes aud emeralds, and as
he passed the King he turned, dropped upon
his knees and trumpettd lOudly-n0t In

Just at the right time. Silly people. how

To-day the elephant is still used In India
in Dageants. as a labOrer, especially IN the
lumber districts, where il is taught to carry
long tinbers, and, as has been said forms

warfare it is not useful only in fow cases,
and can never be employed so frequently as
in ancient times.-Sl. Nichol
