BARN BURNERS AT WORK.

Three Stables and Twenty-one Horses
Destroyed at Mankato.
MANKATo, Mimi, Oct 1.-Three
barns were set on fire during the night,
in which 2l horses were burned. The
Washington House barn was first set.
A few blocks west a barn belonging to
the r. F. Jones estate, and further west
the Minneopa House barn, in which
were Is horses, was fired. The Wash
ington House barn burned nearly to the
ground, with three horses, two of which
were PAGERS belonging to J. J. Gould.
One thousand dollars insurance was on
this. The Minneopa House barn be-
longed to DR.. Warner and was recently
bought by him. Eighteen horses were
here burned, belonging mostly to farm
ers. It is thought the barns were all
fred by the same person. n
The fourth alarm was turned In about
midnight. The department. responded
Immediately to find small blaze in a
pile Of straw in the barn belonging to
Mrs. Addie Rice at s909 South Front
street. It was quickly put out by the
department.. The people are very much
excited and will make it warm for the
frebug, if he can be discovered. ~" '9.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Talk of m Alliance Betueen s0ufh
/ American Republics.

I Talk Of m Alliance Between South
american Republics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. number Of
diplomats resident IN w Washing Ton are
talking with considerable interest on
the subject Of an international agree
Iment between the republics of America
for mutual protection against the ag-
gressions Of Euro pean nations.
The Monroe doctrine is no longer a
principle of the United States alone.
For all practical purposes relating solely
20 the interests Of this country within
her own territory, the Monroe doctrine
is of less inport rtance than it is to every
other republic on the continent Ser
{ ious aggression on the territory of
the United States is hardly to- be
scontempl plated as likely to come from
any European government, because
those tho nations realize that they would
have too formidable a people to deal
with. But among the republics Of Cen
fral and South America there is con-
stant dread of uni ust treatment and un-
fair seizure Of their territory by nations
of Europe. For this reason the Monroe
doctrine appeals to public sentiment
south Of Mexico to a far greater degree
than it does north Of it, where the doc
trmine m is looked upon as a principle sure
to bring trouble when its violation has
become general
England Helping Along.
The Venezuelan question, in which
the entertainments of Great Britain are
being experienced to an alarming de-
gree, is perhaps the most important vio-
lation Of tho Monroe doctrine that is
now pending. The British occupation
Of Trinidad has been considered by all
the nations Of Central and South Amer
lea as an instance of foreign aggression
likely to be experienced by any Of them.
The question between Great Britain and
Brazil in the case Of British Guiana is
adding fuel to the flames Of popular
alarm, and British occupation of the
Falkland islands is pointed to as an in
stance Of how might makes right. The
Argentine government still chafes over
Great Britain's act in seizing the Falk-
land islands, and the little government
OF Nicaragua feels injured by the man
ner Of Great Britain in collecting the
$4,000 damages assessed. ~. = n
No government has yet taken any
official action looking to the realization
Of this alliance, but the people of all the
governments are ready to discuss such
proposition and diplomats are' quietly
talking about the form it should take,
and the best time to bring it about Tt
may be that this question will have
reached the stage for public discussion
before the next session of congress ad-
sjourns, It is not likely that the United
States will take any leading part in the.
movement, though the popularity Of the,
Monroe doctrine here and the necessity
for its immediate enforcement, would
assure the proposition of a serious hear

His Sum-.

Kate Sanborn tells in Abandon
ing an Adopted Farm" q story of a
big boy in a country school who
was clover enough in some studies,
but hopelessly deficient in mathe-
matics. The teacher, a man who had
little mercy for stupid pupil, ono
day lost patience with him entirely.
The boy had failed to do a simple
sum in subtraction, and the teacher
rubbed out the figures OIL his slate,
put down six ciphers and six more
under them. He drew a line, hand.
ed the slate back to tho dullard and
said gravely:
"Thcre, see if you can subtract

The poor boy gazed stolidly at the
new sum. It looked queer and hard.
He tackled it aloud, making hideous
grimaccs as he progressed.

The Golden Willow.

One of tho most beautiful of trees,
especially in winter, is the golden
willow. The branches of this tree

and warmth to the winter landscape
The golden willow has not yet be-
come a favorite in Rochester. A
mass of tho young trees will be
found on the river bank at the south
end of Genesee Valley park. The
orange yellow glow lights the whole
scene and renders that part of the
park very beautiful.

war. It would have been ludicrous,
if anything can he ludicrous con-
ncctcd with war. Commodore Elliot
was blockading Russian squadron
in the gulf of Sakhalin, on the east
coast of Siberia. Thinking he had
the Russians in a cul de sac, he COM
placently waited for them to come
out, as the water was too shallow for
him to attack them. AS the enemy
did not come out he sent in to inveS-
tigate and found to his establishment
that tho Russians and ships had van
ished. While ho had been waiting
for them in the south they had quiet
ly slipped out by tho north, teach

that Sakhalin was an isthmus. And
