MUST HUNT OR STARVE
The Bannacks Have No Food For
Winter.
Agent Tcter Says They Must Have
Work or RatiOns and Kept on
the Reservations.

Indian Agent Teter has made supple
me ntary report to Indian Commissioner
browning on the policy that must be pur-
sued to prevent further trouble with the
Bannacks He says: Certain Indians state
they will go to Jacksons Hole for the pur-
pose of hunting as soon as the haying sea
son is over. claiming they will starve dur
ing the coming winter If they do not kill
game at this season for winter subsistence,
and that they have right to hunt in Jack
sons Hole. In my opinion, it is absolutely
necessary to keep the Indians on the reser-
walton. Even if they are justified in going
to Jackson's Hole. as they seem deter
mined to have revenge on the settlers, they
will go prepared for that purpose, and are
discussing plans to that end. The best So
luton I can present is to enter into the
contract for the big ditch on the reserva-
ton as soon as possible, which will give
the Indians employment and an opportunity
to earn money with which to provide for
themselves through the winter. The In
dams must be given employment, or have
their rations increased. as they cannot SUD
sist without food obtained from hunting
until water is put on the reservation, wnen
they will be practically self-supporting.
will request you to wire me what 1 can
state to the Indians relative to increa sed
rations or employment should they remain
on the reservation"

The most Interesting point on the above
map is the development of the gulf storm
or West India cyclone. These storms must
not be confused with the very much
smaller and more destructive tornado"
of the west, very frequently called ICY
Clone by mistake. The "cyclone" shows
a marked depression of air pressure at the
center and often a diameter of 1000 or
1850 miles. They are generally attended
by severe electric disturbances, heavy
dcwnpours of rain and most violent and de-
structive winds. These winds blow around
the storm from right to left, or in the way
one would turn clock hands backward
Counter clockwise). If a ship passes
through the center it finds calm and clear
sky at the very center. but Immediately
after the wind shifts 10 an opposite quarter
and blows with even greater violence. The
sea itself is tremendously agitated. These
storms frequently form in the Windwarl
Islands, and at the beginning move toward
the northwest. They recurve in Florida or
the east gulf, and move up the Atlantic
coast frequently causing serious disasters
to shipping.
The present storm seems to have taken
its origin iii the central gulf. and has thus
far shown very little violence (wind twen-
ty-eight miles per hour from north at New
Orleans). Signals are ho;sted on the mid
die gulf coast and cautionary information

ELECTED A PROFESSOR.
Solicitor Dnbncy May Go to the Uni
versfty of Virginia.

Solicitor Dabncy May Go to the Uni
versfty of Virginia.
Mr.. W. D. Dabney, solicitor Of the State
Department, was yesterday elected pro-
lessor of common and statute law OF the
University of Virginia, to succeed the late
Prof John B. Minor. Mr.. Dabney was
graduated at this university under Prof.
Minor twenty years ago. Prior to that he
had partly finished the university course
in civil engineering, which he abandoned,
however, for the study of the law. He is
a brother Of the late w. c. Dabney, for
many years professor Of medicine at the
university. His first evidence of superior
legal attachments was shown in the publ
cation Of a standard work on railroad law.
In his early manhood he taught school for
several years. but never before has he
reached the grade and dignity Of a pro-
lessor. Soon after the establishment of the
interstate commerce commission he be-
came connected with it's legal department,
and took up his residence in this city.
Early in the present administration, how
ever, he was transferred to his more inn
portant position in the State Department.
The position came to him unsought, and
his valuable services there have more than
justified the wisdom of his selection.
What Mr.. Dabney Says.
Mr.. Dabney has just returned from a visit
duties at the State Department this morn
ing To a Star reporter he said that he had
not yet been officially advised of his ap-
pointment as professor of law at the Uni
versity of Virginia, but inasmuch as he had
received several kilograms from friends in
that vicinity, congratulating him upon his
appointment, he had no doubt whatever Of
the accuracy of the press report of the ac-
ton Of the board Of visitors of the UNIVERSE
ty yesterday afternoon. He said he felt
that he had been highly honored in being
selected for this distinguished post, and
while he had some doubt as to his ability
to fill an Office of such prominence, he would
accept it and do the best he could
Such action On his part would necessarily
compel the REIMBURSEMENT of his present
office in the State Department, but mas
much as the next school year at the uni
versity will not begin until the 18th rroxi-
mo, Mr.. Dabney said he would probably
be able to continue to discharge the func-
lions of his federal Office up to that date.
The salary of the solicitor Of the State De-
partment is $500 q year, and the duties
Of the office are Of a most exacting and
responsible character. involving an init
mate knowledge of international law. The
emoluments of the college professorship
amount to about the same figure as those
of the solicitors office, but there is this
advantage in the former, that the living
expenses at Charlottesville are much less
than at Washington. 1t Is too early yet to
speculate as to who may succeed Mr.. Dab
ney in the State Department.

Warning on "A Railway Company.

Warning on Railway Company.
The workingmen's organizations of the
city are making vigorous war on the Eek
ington and Soldiers Home Railway Com
pany. The special grievance against the
company is that men have been discharged
from the employ of the company. because,
as it is claimed, they were members of the
Protective Street Railway Union. The
Federation of Labor at its last meeting in
dorsed the action Of the Protective Street
Railway Union, placed the company on the
unfair list and urged all of the bodies
connected with the federation to do likewise.
The Carpenters Council and other bodies
have already taken similar action. Last
night the Galvanized Iron and Cornice
Workers adopted resolutions in support of
the campaign against the railway, and
placing it on the unfair" list.

OVER 1000 LIVES LOST.

Distress Caused by the Great Japa-
Storm.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August lore
ports have been received here to the effect
that Japan had been visited by terrible
storm on the 24th and 2Gth of July. The
hurrica1 es swept across Kiusha, passed
along the shores Of the island sea, crossed
over the central districts of the main land
and emerged into the Pacific ocean.
Its track was everywhere marked by
great loss of life and destruction Of prop
erty, and as the catastrophe was followed
by heavy rain storm, foundations added
their devastating effects to the havoc
wrought by the wind. 1t is calculated that
over ]. OOO people were killed or drowned.
Ujina, the town that served as military
basis during the recent war, felt the full
force of the tempest. The place was COM
plete!y swamped by the sea and over 100
boats were smashed. Among these boats
were 12O belonging to the army stores de-
partment. They were laden with supplies
destined for the use of the troops in the
Lao Tung peninsula.

THE LIBRARY TUNNEL
Work Now in Progress on the Underground
Book Railway.
Books to BE Shot From the New
Building Into the Capitol
Other Conveniences.

Work is now in progress upon the under
ground book railway which is to be put
into operation between the Capitol and the
new Congressional Library building when
the latter is completed. A trench 100 feet
long is being dug across the Capitol park
and in it will be constructed brick con-
duit six feet high and four feet wide. The
corduit will enter the basement of the
library building and the basement Of the
Capitol, connecting by shafts with the
main floors of those buildings.
A Cable In the Tunnel.
1t is proposed to run a small cable
through the tunnel, upon which will con-
staHtly travel two carriers large enough
to hold book. They will move very rapid
ly, and will take up and deliver the books
between the two buildings. Telephone
wires will be laid in the conduit, and a
member of Congress can communicate d.
rectly with the librarian from the cloak
roc ms of the House and Senate. The tun-
mel will be dry and light, so that man can
walk through it with ease. AS the book
railway will only be used to furnish men,
hers CT Congress with books, 1t is thought
two carriers will be sufficient, for the
smaller the number the greater the speed
to be attained by the cable. The western
terminus of the road will be in room off
of statuary hall, and the eastern terminus
In the main lobby of the library. BY the
system to be put into operation quicker
service can be obtained than Is now pos
sible in getting a book from the library TO
either end of the Capitol
In the Library Building.
The cable railway scheme, in connection
with a system of pneumatic tubes, will be
put into the library building to facilitate
the handling of books for the general pub
lie. When one wants a beck now applica-
waits until messenger is at leisure when
the name of the book is furnished and the
man trudges off upstairs and around the
musty corridors to hunt for the volume
1t will be different in the new library.
Messengers will be stationed at intervals
among the book racks, and each will have a
cable railway and a pneumatic tube COM
municating with the main desk. The order
for the book will be fired through the tube,
the messenger will walk less than dozen
PAGES, perhaps, to get the volume, and will
shoot it back to the applicant before the
latter has had time to look around him.
When the reader has finished with the book
it will be sent back on the cable and re-
turned to its place.

ACCUSED HER ATTORNEY.
Miss Mendcs Says Lawyer Burke Is
Keeping Her Money.

MISS Me00CS says Lawyer burke 1S
Keeping Her Money.
Rosy Elizabeth Meades, seventeen-year-
old girl, by her next friend, Thomas Mar
tin, today made some interesting charges
in bill in equity filed against Edmund
Burke Of AS D street southeast, we'll
known attorney Of Alexandria and this
city.
According to the bill Miss Meades was
struck by the cars of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company in 1889 and
very seriously injured. Through Attorney
Burke suit for damages was brought and
4 judgment for s43S4.55 finally obtained.
Burke, SO it is claimed, after collecting the
money went to Alexandria and had him
self and John H. Green appointed guar
dams of Miss Meades, giving bond in the
sum of $3.50. R. T. Lucas becoming surety.
The bill alleges that both the bondsman
and the guardians are insolvent in the
state of Virginia.
Miss Meades declares that her property
is being squandered by Burke. who has
never reported any part of the fund to the
court. and that he has never paid or con-
tributed anything to her support. Miss
Meades represents that by reason Of the in
juries referred to she is in delicate health,
unable to secure for herself the necessaries
of life and has for about two years and a
half been supported by Mr.. Thomas Martin
and his wife, who finding her in destitute
circumstances, without shelter, food or
clothing, took her to their home and have
since cared for her.
Miss MeadCs goes on to say that she Is
in destitute circumstances with not a dime
with which to obtain the necessaries of
life, medicine or medical attendance; that
every dollar she has in the world is in the
possession of Burke, to whom she has re-
peatedly applied for funds to relieve her
distress, but who has utterly failed and re-
fused to give her anything and has re-
fused to see her, and that she, in company
with Mr.. Martin, has several times called
at Burke's residence and made known to
him Ter destitute condition, but he has re-
fused to afford her any relief. and on the
last occasion refused to see her.
The court Is asked to decree that Burke
shall pay into the registry all funds in his
hands belonging to Miss Meades.
