Washington, Dec. 10 Uneasy lies
the head that wears crown" is an old
maxim, but it is as applicable to-day in
America us when the murder of hun.
bred kings wrought it into an aphorism
in olden days
The army of cranks seem for the pres
ent to have forgotten that the senate
exists, and the venom of their spleen is
VENT on the less harmless house. The
explosion of the bomb in the Chamber
of Deputies, in Paris, has made the
cranks anxious to keep abreast with the
tide on this side of the water.
Over thirty letters have been received
by various members of the house, warn
ing them that before long bombs will be
thrown from the galleries of the capitol.
The letters were not in the nature of a
threat, but notes of warning. Judging
from the tenor of the letters it would
seem that even an anarchist can feel the
dint Of human pity, for the writers adj
wise certain members of the lower house
to retnain from the capitol, as the writer
wishes to throw bomb and doesn't
care to injure the special congressman to
whom he may be writing. In spite of
the carelessness with width these let ers
are supposed to be treated. yet they are
shown to the doorkeeper and sergeant-at-
arms. Lately an extra force has been
place about the doors of the capitol and
no one is allowed to enter with bundles,
or packages of any kind. 1t is not gen
orally known, but there are several
characters seldom missing from the ses
sion, who have sworn to kill various
members If Ger ain bills are not passed.
They are known, and are always kept
under strict surveillance. 1t is enough
to brighten a man of ordinary nerve to
get at times glimpse of the long rows
of faces in the galleries, for they look
like huge army of idiots peopling the
horizon of fantastic dream.

GALESBURG. H., March 14-Champion
C0rbett, in an interview regarding Peter
JacksOn's proposition to fight him in case
Mitchell fails to appear, said: 'At the
same time that | arranged the match with
Mitchell | offered to arrange a contest with
Peter Jackson, to take place seven months
after the fight with Mitchell. l coverad the
S2500 which accompanied his challenge,
thus binding myself and allowing Jackson
the privilege of Withdrawing the match
with me in case of my defeat bv Mitchell
These terms did not suit jackson, and he
withdrew his forfeit money and announced
his retirement from the ring. Since God
dard's defeat, however, he comes forth with
the ridiculous proposition that guarantee
him $1,000 training expenses, in order that
he may be In condition TO take MitchePs
place next December in case Mitchell should
funk. II Jackson wishes to fight me seven
months after l meet Mitchell, the original
proposition is still before him, and IL
Mitchell should funk in any way between
now and next December, l am perfectly
willing that jackson should take his ,lace,
but he will have to pay his own training ex-
penses il lie wants to fight me for the title

In closing, COrbett said that it was finally
decided to-day that he should train for his
fight on the farm of w. j. Davis at Willow

ENGLAND IN INDIA.
Strengthening Her Position Along
the Afghan Frontier.
A Movement That DispIeases the
Ameer, and That Russia Is Most
Likely to Meet.
Special to THE MoRS1Se CALL.

CALCUTTA. March 14-The British re-
Gently occupied Chnas. beyond Chitral,
with garrison and fortified the place with
the intention of holding 1t permanently.
The mountain tribes took offense at this
and made an attack on the fort, W hich was
bravely defended by the British. The con-
flict was desperate and sauguInary. and the
natives were at length driven off with loss
of 200 men, The British then took the
aggressive and marched against the en-
trenched villages of the hostile tribes. Storm
ing village after village, under command oil
Major Daniel, who mas himself shot through
the heart. Every point occupied by the
hostile natives was carried, the British losing
twenty-eight killed and thirty wounded in
the fighting. The trbesmen finding them
selves unable 10 resist any longer. submitted
to British authority. The result of the
struggle greatly strengthens the British
position al what is considered its weakest
point in the vicinity Of the Hindoo Koosh.
i, is in relation 20 the tronble with these
tribes that the Ameer Of Afghanistan has
written 10 the Viceroy of India that he will
not meet Lord Roberts to confer as to the
trouble among the tribes on the Indian
frontier The Ameer claims the right TO
deal with those tribes according 10 the
sacred laws of his people and objects to in
terference from the outside. lie says the
arming Of Afghans is designed to meet an
attack from either England or Russia. He
processes a special friendship for England
and readiness to cooperate with her in
any feasible plan for preserving the integ-
rity of the northwestern frontier. The
Aighans are greatly excited by the rumors
of a coming attack by the British. The
Ameer has the gout.
