HIGHEST PRAISE
To Colonel Kelly and His
Forces In the Chitral Siege.
Half the Fighters Were Either Killed
or Wounded,

SIMnA. April e6-The British column,
snder command OF Colonel Kelly, which
was proceeding TO the relief Of Chitral
from Gilgit, reached Kogazi, IL miles
orth OF Chitral fort, on April 10. Upon
irving there. Colonel Kelly received di-
set news from Or. Robertson, the British
gent in Chitral to whose suocor the Brit
sh force was Fastening, that Shsr Afzul,
who had captured the town of Chitral,
had fled with all the besiegers Of the fort
DIR. Robertson reported that the casual
ties during the investment of the fort, TO
which he reiterated upon the capture of the
town, were 30 killed and 90 wounded. lie
and Captain Campbell were severely
wounded. Captain Baird was killed.
Lieutenant Gurdon, who was reported TO
nave been killed, is still alive. All the
wounded are doing well. The garrison
had only 200 troops n seven officers there.
The highest praise is due to Colonel
Kelly's brilliant feat at arms. All con-
,erned in the march from Gilgit merit re-
wards such as were accorded to the then
Lieutenant tnow Major c. j. w. Grant,
Inc leader of the expedition, who, in 1891,
relieved the British at Manipur.
A correspondent az Janbati telegraphs
tina he supposes the levies that Major
General Low sent from Dir descended the
Chitral valley south Of Kaladrosh and
announced that they were the advance
guard Of the force moving on Chitral from
he Swat valley. When Colonel Kelly's
3orces appeared from the north, the enemy
Sound themselves in a cul do sac and
.faised the siege.
DIR. Robertson reports that Colonel
Kelly arrived ut Chitral at noon on Satur-
day last. He states that after March 8 all
the Chitralis outside the fort were com
PEELED to join the forces of Sher Afzul,
whom they believed was supported by the
Amer of Afghanistan and Umra Khan.
.5ipah Salah and the Mohammedans joined
In the religious war against the British.
Therefore the position Of the latter was
desperate.

A GAME OF BLUFF.
How the Thunderer Sizes Up RussA's At

LONDON, April 25.-The Times, com.
ment4ag eaitorially upon the dispatch
stating that Russia. Germany and France
have formally protested to japan against
the incorporation of any Of the Chinese
mainland into the japanese empire, says
that the dispatch will arouse considerable
interest in Great Britain, but perhaps the
predominant feeling that it will create
viii be one of wonder. not unmingled
with amusement. IL the protest Is gen
ulne and the powers are prepared to sup
port their words by action, Russia must
be congratulated upon a signal diplomatic
triumph, but the small interest that Ger
many and France have In the question
makes 1t appear "a game of bluff. which
Japan will possibly see through. Her
wisest course will probably be to yield. as
the consequences OF a mistake might
prove exceedingly grave.

PARIS. April 25.-The Republique Fran.

note this act of brigandage which seems
60 be an accepted thing in America. The
old regime struggled vainly against mon
opolists, yet the latter had not then per-
fected the means they are possessed Of at
the present time. The laws recently pro-
mulgated against them have also proved
ineffective, and the problem has become
more delicate.

species of prairie chicken, grouse and
quail, wild turkeys, and during the
autumn and winter months ducks are
plentiful but in the summer they go up
into the lakes on the plateau. On the
mountains bordering these valleys are
black, cinnamon aud tip tail bear, the
lion and the panther, the wildcat, the
bob-tail and bush-tail skunks, and
higher up in the cliffs and rocks the
eagles build their nest Along the
foothills and in the groves deer and
antelope have feeding ground and
home In certain seasons wild pig
cons swarm in hocks of thousands
Birds of rare plumage and song are
found in particular places but they are
somewhat exclusive and devoted to
localities. In olden times buffalo and
moose were here, aud there is a legend
of another animal like the caribOo, but
these like the ancient people are now
extinct; all the others are plentiful.
This is par eXcellen &c the home OF the
hunter and the fisherman.

At the session of the National Liquo
Dealers Association held in Washing
ton recently, after the usual Stcreotyped
resolutions, several were adopted which
ought to be the subject of grave thought
by tie American people.
OF the number the one which EN-.
braced the statement that more rev.
enue was derived from the liquor bust
ness than from any other business by
the government, and tn erefore ough,
to be protected, is perhaps the mos
persuasive to the thinking of the frieno
to the saloon anu those vino profess t,
be indifferent
There are many ways in which one
can honestly differ from the liquor
dealers. The first point we would
raise is that they but showed one side
Of the accoun5. If we would set over
on the debit side CT the account the
total expenses for the support and care
Of the insane, drunkirds and criminals
and such other noble specimens of the
results Of this 'Ilwfu" business as car
be justly charged to the traffic, it i.
more than probable that we would have
IA red ink entry on the wrong side of a
considerable amount.
And, then, it must be a consolin:
thought to the good citizen of these
United States to think that his govern.
ment is fostering "A business which is
doing so much to strengthen the man
hood of the nation and preserve pure the
''Norkingman's Sunday"
And that is not all. The kind.
thoughtful dealers" are even fearful
for the welfare OF the Christian En-.
deavor Society, and would, by timely
