There has been no subject concerning
which more lies have been told than
about giants. Until it was found that
modern men could not be squeezed into
the armor at the Tower, it was taken
for granted that we had degenerated in
size. This is not only not the case,
but in the matter Of giarts we have the
advantage Of our predecessors. The En-
peror Maximinian indeed was said to
have been So feet high, but ancient
mensuration, especially in the case OF
an emperor, is not to be trusted; in
deed. from its not having made him
taller, it is certain that there was no
one else nearly so tall. Orestes, it is
true, we are told, was IL feet long-aft
er death, but he was not thought So
highly of when alive; we may reasona-
bly, take feet as his ultimatum.-Lon-
don News.

MIssoULA. May 22-For the second
time within d week the industrial army
stole a tram on the Rocky Noun ain di
vision. This time the scene Of the deed
was Noxon. little station eight miles
east of Heron. where train was taken
last week. As tram No. - was leaving
the station about 100 men climbed upon
the train and started toward the engine.
The operator in the station saw the
action. and at once reported it at the
dispatchers Office in this city. Chief
Dispatcher Donkln was al the key and
he at once ordered the engine TO cut
was done before the Coxeyites had oh
tanned control Of the engine, and in an
instant the engineer had his machine
flying this way at the rate Of GO miles an
hour.
Major Carpenter. commanding the
troops al the state line. was notified. and
his command reached the scene on a
special. The troops at once took pos
session Of the train. and dislodged the
CoxeyItes who alighted reluctantly. The
train was started east this afternoon.
On the Cuuer dAlene branch this
morning 30 Coxeyites seized a work
train at Iron Mountain. but the work
crew held the train, and compelled the
boarders to give up.
There ar now 10 Coxey men between
Noxon and Hope. and 80 more between
Hope and Spokane. Fastening TO join
the former crowd. West of Spokane
there are about 800 more moving east

operate only with the Idaho forces, SO
that this division is as helpless as ever.
Col Burt at Fort Missoula has two com
pauies ready to move as soon as he re-
ceiyes orders from headquarters.
The meeting of the Coxey men in this
city tonight was well attended and the
addresses of the speakers were enthusi-
! astically received.

The details are given In the following

Apta, Samoa, Aug. 15.-The ships of
Great Britain and Germany have ut
last taken action with view to ending
the native disturbances which have
heretofore appeared to be intermina-
ble. Two skirmishes had taken place
between the warning tribes, resulting
In the killing Of eight or ten natives
aud the wounding Of many more, and,
besides, the natives had become short
OF food, not having planted or looked
after their crops, and they had taken
to stealing from foreigners throughout
the island. Their mode Of living had
produced great deal of illness, much
suffering and many deaths. 20. that Id,
the interest Of common humanity In
terfcrence by the powers became ab.
solutely necessary. Something had to
be done to put stop to the so-called
warfare. 1t was with this end In view
that the diplomatic and naval officials
held several conferences. The ulti.
lnate result was a resolution to notify
the rebels they must disperse from
their fortified stronghold at La Tu.
anla or suffer a shelling from the guns
Of the varships. On Friday, Aug. 10.
the British warship Curacao and tho
German warshlp Ruzzard stormed the
rebel fordfcntions, killing large
number Of rebels. The rebels sued
for peace and promised to give up
their guns, but changed their minds as
soon as one Of the warships left. The
gunboats nre again firing upon the
rebels, and 1t is reported that they
have surrendered.
