HOW NOT TO USE A COMPASS.
Explorers Who 0Verestimated Their
Own knowledge.

Mr.. G.. +. Finlasop, in his Nobody
in Mashonaland," gives an account
of how he and his friends got lost in
the bush, and shows what precious
little use a compass is to travellers
who have not thoroughly mastered
that simple looking instrument. Mr..
Finlason's landmark was certain
telegraph poles, and when he and his
comrade lost sight of them, they had
to fall back on the compass, having
had no sun that day to serve as
guide:
'In taking my observations l had
carefully noted that the needle
pointed dead at the camp, but [ did
not turn the compass so as to bring
the needle over the IN" So it
transpired that my observation was
only useful in indicating the where
abouts of the camp when we got to
the poles. Another little thing
which added to the confusion was
the fact that did not know for GER
tain whether the black or the white
half of the needle pointed to the
North, and 1 had also forgotten
which end pointed to the camp. And
let me add that this little difficulty
of the black and white needle is not
at all an uncommon one with novices
They know all about it, of course,
before they are lost, and would be
indignant If anyone should infer
(sic) that they were ever likely to be
In doubt on the point. But when
once they are lost, and the fact, at
first resisted, is slowly and surely
borne in upon them, it is surprising
how speedily and completely their
heads follow the way of their
bodies"
Mr.. Finlason and his two friends
eventually found their way by tree
climbing and the activity of anxious
friends.-Ex.

been found for them, and both
Federal, civil and MILITARY power has
been invoked to make that use ef-
fcctive.
In compliance with novel and
dangerous Interpretation OF the inter
state commerce law, Federal soldiers
have been ordered to subdue the
strike even at the expense Of human
life, and Federal attorneys lave been
instructed to employ the antitrust
law for tue the prosecution OF the
leaders.
Never before was there such a
travesty on justice. For years rail
road corporations have repeatedly
violated, resisted and deticd the inter
state commerce law, and never in the
history of the antitrust law has
trust leon successfully prosecuted.
Both these laws were framed for pro
lection against robber corporations
and both of them are now used to ex
tend and enlarge the influence OF these
dcspoilers Of the people. The Ad
ministration in placing such a con
structiOn upon these laws has com

has just been notified. He will leave at
once with force of deputies in pursuit.
Probably the militia will follow.
Later The train was not exactly
stolen, or exactly in the possession of
the army at any time. Members of the
army climbed on the train, as they
had on other trains during the day, but
in this instance they climbed on in
greater numbers, but the railroad off,
eials claim they got off in every instance
when told to do go by the conductor.
But they kept climbing on until there
were over 100 aboard. The train was
ordered side-tracked at Palmer, and
the locomotive and caboose were
taken back to South Prairie, thus
strsnding the Coxeyites who had
enjoyed the short ride. Marahals
we're at once sent out to take charge of
the company's property and prevent
the Coxeyites from interfering with
trains. If only two or three dozen
Coxeyites had boarded the train, they
very likely would have gone through
without causing any disturbance. or en-
countering interference. The plan new
seems to be 10 have the army proceed to
Spokane in small squads, and make
that point rendezvous, and then pro-
ceed east via the Great Northern.

was fully prepared to cope with the diff

as to the train, but if any part OF the

THEY WANT 1T PASSED.

Dilatoriness of the Senate Denounced by
New Workers,
NEW YoRE. May "a mass meeting
was held tonight, in Copper union to
protest against the dilatoriness Of the
senate in passing upon the Wilson bill.
All was not harmony at the meeting
and the income tax was what marked
the dividing line, The storm broke
when Frederick r. Coudert took iasue
with James Carter, and rOundly de-
nounced the income tax measure as bad !,
dishonest and undemocratic. One-h half
of the large crowd hiesed and interrupted
this expression of opinion; the others
cheered and applauded. and hurled back
the epithe.s applied to Mr.. Coudert by
his opponents from the body of the hall.
An old man jumped up, shook his fst
at Mr.. Coudert on the platform and
shouted:
''We,are paying the taxea while you
people are robbiug u.s."
At this point there WAS a tumult. A
chorus of ''Put him out" burst out and
every one Jumped up. Half dozen
policemen rushed up and seized the
man, carrying him to the rear OF the

Finally Mr.. Coudert put every one in
good humor by saying that as bad ae the
income tax was he was willing TO swal-
low it for the sake of the tariff reduc.
tion.
The meeting had been called by rep
reaentatives OF AZ business houses of
this city. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury
to order and denounced the senators re-
sponsible for the delay. He thought
the income tax unwise, but there were
many things worse than it, one OF which
was to have no income at all, which was
what the present delay would lead to-.
James Garter delivered the principal
speech of the evening. He defended
the income tax as the most just and
equitable form of tsxation.
Mr.. Garter denounced Senators Hill
and Murphy for their attitude toward
the Wilson bill. This seemed to please
the large audience hugely.
Resolutions i'll substance Ss follows
were passed:
"That we should prefer a more con-
sistent and courageous measure of tariff
reform than is now pending, but we
urge b1hb Ab D0 phS6Oo w q nAhl NObo nO
we may be relieved from the extortions
and expressions OF the Mckinley tariff.
THAT while we are opposed to the in
come tax provisions, we are more OPP
posed to the existing system of the
tariff taxation which casts on the work
ing classes nine-tenths of the burden ol
taxation and an enormous tribute for
the benefit of the few.
THAT we desire the income tax clause
to be stricken out, we deem the income
tax no excuse for the vote of any Demo
crat against the bill as whole, and de-
mand that every Democratic senator and
representative vote for the repeal Of the
Mckinley law.
''That the defeat of the bill by Dem.
ocratic votes would be disaster to the
nation and an act OF treason to the Dem

tax was not materially different from the
1 ugar provision in the pending bill. He
also stated that large number of other
amendments had been made, but did not
mention them in detail, except to say in
no case had duties been fixed as high as
in the Mckinley law. He said that
many concessions had been made TO the
eastern and northern Democrats by
changes from ed valorem to specific
duties. and that it was hoped that when
the new bill should bs presented it
should command the cold Democratic
vote in the senate.
