coWED BY A REDHoT IRON.
Lioness Victoria Was Then Whipped, and
Her Mate Nero Did His Tricks.


Her Mate Nero Did His Tricks.
A few persons saw thrilling exhibi-
tion at the London ZOO before the regu-
lar performance began the other after
noon. Milo. Beatrice, who was recently
bitten i'll the face by the lion Nero, went
into his cage for the first time since
then. Nero was in an ugly temper, and
his mate, Victoria, when the woman
tanner stepped upon the steps leading
into the cage, sprang against the door
and remained in front of it with up
lifted paw and mouth wide open.
Nile. Beatrice tried to drive the lion
ess back with whip, but Victoria bit
and struck at tho whip and roared with
rage. A blank cartridge discharged
squarely in her mouth by Mile Bea-
trice intensified the brute's rage.
Manager Francis Ferreri then brought
an iron bar redhot at one end. A touch
of this had the desired effsct, and Vic
toria withdrew to tho other end Of the
cage, and Mile Beatrice entered She
whipped the lionoss severely. Nero
roared, but he was as much in fear of
the hot iron as Victoria. Half O dozen
attendants covered the two lions with
reyolvers loaded with ball cartridges
while Mile Beatrice made Nero go
through his tricks. She omitted the kiss
ing act, in the performance Of which she
was bitten three weeks ago. She will
always carry tho scars Of that bite. Nero
is years old and always appeared per-
fectly docilo until his attack upon Mile
Beatrice. London Standard.

WOODLAND, Aug. AT the opening
Of the examination Of the alleged train
wreckers Mr.. Cook srose and said:
"Since the sdjournme ent of court last
evening have heard OF certain state
ments alleged to have been made by
Witness Lesher (this is the young man
who offered perjured testimony the first
of the week and was ordered under ar
rest by counsel for the defense). de-
sire to place him on the stand to prove
shat no offer was made to him by the
prosecution to testify in this case."
Mr.. Hart followed Mr.. Cooks argu-
ment, and as a result Lesher did not
take the stand.
Martin Halloran, yard master at Sac
ramento, was called. He testified to
getting up relief train and going to the
scene OF the disaster. Mullin asked who
was going out on train No. 70. witness
said Sweeney, and Mullin anHwered: II

he rides ten miles,"
G. A. Newton, who was night yard
master at Washington, was making up
u
peared and said: "Not a wheel shall
turn on this system until this matter is
settled"
Just before the noon recess Judge
Fisher announced that tho evidence
thus far against Knox, Mullin and
Compton was not strong enough to war
rant the court to hold them without

ter under advisement and would render
decision at this afternoons session.
Bonus Ligntner, who gave his occupa-

Southern Pacific, was the first witness
examined this afternoon. lie knew all
the defendants. Knox wished witness,
as the chairman of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, TO call meeting
and take more decided action in regard
to the strike, The engineers had taken
action before, but Knox wanted the en-

e. G. Jordan. another engineer, was
sworn and corroborated the testimony
of the rrevious witness. On crose-ex-
animation by Attorney Ga6dis, the wit
ness said that Knox said there was
large element among the strikers over
whom he had no control.
Conductor Reynolds was recalled to
testify to the extent of the examination

three rail lengths and found two or

demoralizing Pacific coast passenger

emphatically denies any knowledge of

it is regarded as simple buncomb. Said
Lomax: "The Union Pacific never has

JAPAN's DECLARATION OF WAR.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Ths japanese
legation has received q telegram an
nouncing that on August an imperial
rescript was issued by the emperor Of
Japan formally announcing that war has
been declared against China. Mr.. Mi
yoaka, Japanese charge, probably will
communicate this formal declaration Of
war to Secretary Gresham today.
UNCLE SANS ATTITUDE.
A strong denial was entered at the
state department today Of the published
story that the United States will enter
into treaty with the European powers
to forcibly occupy and keep open the
treaty ports of China. 1t 10 also de-
MED that overtures to that end lave
come from other countries. When war
WAS threatened the United States used
its good offices to avert the event. 1t
did go to carry out solemn obligation
imposed by the treaty with Corea, made
in 1882. 1t was under its terms that the
president indicated to Japan that he
would be panied should she infiict IN
unjust war upon Corea. That was 90 far
as the United States could 60.
1t is said at the state department that
the attitude toward the belligerents will
be patterned upon the course at Rio.
"We will side with neither China or
Japan, but, as was indicated BY Mr..
Baysrd, am bassador to Great Britain, the
attitude of the United States will be one
OF neutrality. While we may act with
the powers in the protection of COM
merce, we will not be party to joint
treaty or combination, the object OF
which is forcible interference in China
or Japan"
The entire United States feet in ASH

more and Monocacy. About week ago
orders were sent to Bering Bea to have
the Concord and Petrol sent over to
join the station, and that is all that has
been done in that direction.

New York, Aug. A morning paper
Gays:
The Atchison road scandal is looming
up as the chief financial event Of the
day, outside of the legislation. 1t prom
ises to eclipse the sensations connected
with the Reading and the Northern Pa
citic, because the Atchison, prior TO it's
insolvency, was held in high repute by
American and foreign investors, and
it WAS supposed to be conservstively
and honestly managed. The Northern
Pacific and Reading, on the other hand,
have rareiy ever been free from criti-
cism. No end of scandals had been
circulated. aAd the men who managed
them and investors who bought the
securities did 60 with their eyes open to
possible disclosures. But the recent
management OF the Atchison had been
pointed to with confidence. and when,
shortly after the panic of last
year, il succumbed to what was
considered the general distress. very lit
tie fault was found. 1t is generally
understood in Atchison circles that at the
meeting OF the reorganization committee
next Tuesday there will be thorough
investigation OF the facts brought to
light by Expert Little, but which the
gentleman did not intend to become
public. One or more OF the directors
will be present and stormy time is
predicted.
Members OF the protective committee
say there will be many dramatic Incl

tion of the supposed systematic over
charging of accounts to the extent of

LEARNING THROUGH NECESSITY
Chicago's Lesson Conned From the Goa
Famine Caused by the Strike.

Chicago's Lesson Conned From the Coal
Famine Caused by the Strike.
Under the old rule that "it's an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" the coal
famine has taught Chicago at least one
useful lesson.
Haven't the residents of this town
observed that the skies have been clear
er of late? Haven't they taken notice Of
the fact that the peaks of the tall build
ings have not been SO deeply clouded
with banks of floating smoke, from
which the black and sooty flakes fell ON
the victims in the shaded streets? We'll
coming the glad transformation, have
they asked themselves the reason for it?
In June, 1894, for the, first time in
years persons ascending the Masonic
Temple or Auditorium tower were en-
abled to see on a working day the green
clumps of Garfield park far to the west
and the big, rambling building of Pack
ingtown at the stock yards, four miles
to the southwest They were visible
through veil of smoke, it is true, but
it was veil and not wall of foggy,
impenetrable darkness The same stacks
that had coughed out volcanic columns
of dense smoke now sent the faintest
gray wreaths curling upward. 1t was
like Sunday.
Had the factories been closed and the
fires banked? Was there less demand for
working power in the big buildings.
No to both questions.
The fact was that coal had become
very scarce and the prico had increased.
Every man who burned coal was having
it fed into the fire boxes mere spoon
full at time, so as to make the supply
last as long as possible. In other words,
he was getting almost perfect combus-
tion, and consequently there was little,
if any, smoke pouring out of the stack
He was getting the full value of his
coal, and this, it might seem, would be
a good thing for him to do whether or
not there was a coal famine
TO some minds the late improvements
| in smoke consumers is proof positive
that if furnaces were fed economically
at all times the smoke would almost
| disappear. 1t is the reckless stoker who
stuffs the furnace and then takes long
rest who causes most Of the suffering.
He did his duty when the coal famine
began because his employer metaphoric-
ally stood over him with club to see
that he wasted no fuel Then the smoke.
stack reformed, as did its neighbors.
Temporarily, at least, the horror was
abated, and the prolonged strike Of the
miners did that much good. Chicago
