An Old Grizzly Lies in Wait for the Pos
 sibIe Transgressor.
 NIT. Theodore Roosevelt, writing of grizzly bears in his book, ''The Wilder ness Hunter" relates a story told him by Dr. Merrill, of the United States army. "A remarkable incident" Mir, company with an old hunter, was fol- lowing an elk trail in deep, narrow canyon.
 On turning a corner of the canyon, the two men were charged on by an old she grizzly, so close that it was only by good luck that one of their hurried shots disabled her and sent her tumbling over bank, where she was easily finished.
 They found that she had been lying directly across the game trail on a smooth, well-beaten patch of bare earth, which looked as if it had been dug up, refilled, and trampled down. Examining this patch curiously, they saw bit of hide only partially GOV cred at one end, and on digging they found the body of a well-grown grizzly cub. It's skull had been crushed and the brains licked out, and there were signs of other injuries.
 The hunters pondered long over this strange discovery, and hazarded many guesses as to it's meaning. At last they decided that probably the cub had been killed and its brains eaten, either by some old grizzly or by a cougar; that the mother had returned and driven away the murderer, and that she had then buried the body and lain above it, waiting to wreaz her ven Gnance on the first naSSer-bv

Tie recent trials on the Thames river
OF small torpedo boat. built with a
steel framework and aluminium plates
for the hull, have shown an unusual
speed, whic the makers state is partly
owing TO the use Of the light metal and
partly 20 the better balancing OF the
machinery, as well as the use OF water
tube boilers in place of the usual loco

This and other tests reported from

There have not yet been sufficient
tests of this metal under the varying

SALISBURY ON THE PEERS.
The Ex-Premier Does Not Want to Please
Tammany Bosses.

London, May 4.-Lord Salisbury spoke in
Trowbridge last evening on the govern
ment's attitude toward the House of Lords
and Irish home rule. AS far as he could see.
the ex-premier said, the country regarded
the House of Lords as very good institu-
tion for checking the errors of the House OF
Commons. The upper house did not exist
for the purpose Of opposing the natlonal
will but to ascertain that will and to insist
upon an appeal to the people whenever a,
temporary and unreal advantage had been
seized by the lower house. On the main
issue of home rule the government had
shirked repeatedly. They apparently shrank
from asking the electors to pass, on their
recently as a reason for granting. home rule
that it would reconcile the Irish in America.
''Are we ready to give up our ulster
bre thren to slavery in order to please the
triangle in Chicago, or the Tammany bosses
in New York?' continued Lord Salisbury:
No and Never.) To my mind this IS reason
rather for resisting home rule than for
granting it. These men to whom LORD
Rosebery appeals, whose friendship he is SO
anxious to secure, are the most Dltter, un-
scrupulous and permanent enemies OF every
thing British that can be found in America.
There is no SANDER strange to their tongues
or pens when they refer to Bristisb things
and institutions. We have many friends in
Americ a, l am proud to believe that our
that the friendship will always continue.
If the majority of Americans would venture
to speak their minds, they would, believe,
describe the Irish minority with whom they
havs to struggle in language more vigorous
than presume to use. IT any class in
America is to be conciliated would rather
ccnciliate the one that loves us, not the
class that pursues us with undying hatred"

PERHAPS SET By TRAMPs.
Forest Fires Extinguisled After Burning
Over Eight Miles.
Especial to the Press.l


Island Pond, May 4.-Thnks to the rain,
the great forest fire is thing of the past.
The fire spread over at lest eight miles of
woods, and there is now great still, smok-
ing and hot territory thst has not yet been
thoroughly investigated. ind while it is GER
tain that all the lumber companies men
toned in the special to tie PRESS yester-
day, are heavy losers, the total loss will not
be even estimated for sme days to come.
All last night great crews worked with
will, but with little to encourage them. To-
day back fires were set fG miles, and the
main fire was halted for the time,, and then
heavy rain set in. andit was conquered.
1t is generally believed that tramps set
the fire, and then made Of down the line of
the Grand Trunk. There has been for some
time feeling among the farmers and lum-
ber men that danger was to be feared from
them, and as far as possible they have been
watched, but of course it vas useless to at
tempt to patrol SO extensive a tract of
timber land, and the late tire was the result.
Trainmen have of late reported the
presence of many gangs of ramps along the
road. They have seen their camp fires by
night, and their march by day. Apparently
they are not moving east, but west, avoid
ing as far as possible the large villages, but
making frequent visits tothe farm houses.
There is a very bitter feeling against them
all along the line of the road, and the
question what to do witt them is fast be
coming pressing one.
OF course it is impossible at this time to
tell how much of the burned over timber
can be cut and saved, ind what portion
even was killed. The ffe went very rapid
ly, and may not have burned deeply. There
was but little wind, and to that fortunate
circumstance was due the fact that it did
not spread over muchwider territory, but
it went from tree to tire with surprising
rapidity. 1t was to thoie who working so
hard to arrest its progress a grand sight,
The line of the fire stretched for miles, and.
even up to late this forenoon, the result
was in doubt. It is hopsd that the heavy
rain now falling will completely put out the
fire, and that there will be no necessity for
another battle. The loss is great, and the
situation confronting the lumbermen Is bad
enough, but still they are congratulating
themselves on having escaped still more
destructive spread OF the flames.

Representative Van voSrhis of New York,
who was present as spectator, held that
the complaint was not sufficient to place
Coxey behind the bars.
Judge Miller interrupted him to say that
the facts were not MISREPRESENTATION; the
question was whether The Indictment was
legal and triable. The notion to overrule
was denied and Representative Pence of
Colorado, notified the court that he would
defend Coxey. Mr.. Lisconb made motion
for the severance of The cases on the
ground that the various charges against
Coxey and Browne occurred at different
place and time, but this vas also overruled
by Judge Miller and an appeal was noted.
A recess was then taken.
Assistant District Attorney Mullowney ad-
dressed the jury this afternoon explaining
Jones. and the law applicable to the
charges. Detective HorI of Washington,
detailed to watch Coxey' army, was called
as witness and testifedthat he joined the
army at Hancock, Md, under the name of
Edward Howe. He made Investigations as
to what arms were carried by the men but
had not ascertained if Coxey had weapons.
The witness said that In Coxey's speeches
along the route he never heard any ex-
pressions or threats finding to incite
people. 1t was generanr understood that
Coxey's intention was 70 aid the unem-
ployed. .Coxey told him he was going to
make speech on the Capitol steps. Ser
geant Slatterly of the Metropolitan police
force, detailed at Brightvood, d. c., where
the army first camped, WIS called. He said
as far as he knew all damage to shrubbery
in the Capitol grounds wss done by citizens
who rushed across the lawn towards the
Capitol buildings when Oxey was escorted
from the steps. Coxey's men outside the
grounds did not break ranks. Major Moore,
chief of police, stated TINT he gave a per-
NIT to parade, but the permit denied Coxey
permission to march Trough the public
reservations. He told Cxey that he could
speak on the Capitol step. Coxey replied
that the schedule had BEN carried out SO
far, and he intended to complete it.
The court at four adjourned until ten to-
morrow.
