from Washington last night OF the
action OF this government in the Mica
rsguan matter and of its position in
relation to the boundary dispute be-.
tween Venezuela and Great Britain, it
will be seen that tho attitude of the
administration in both cases is emil
nently wise and proper, and deserves
the hearty approval Of all Americans,
regardless of party affiliations OK polit-
ical predictions.
In regard to the appeal Of Nicarag ua
for the protection of the United States
against Great Britain, it is said that
the administration Is reserving Its ener.
giles 80 rs to deal becomingly with the
Venezuelan question when the crisis
there, which cannot be much longer
averted, Is reached.
The British government has been
given TO understand that the United
States does not take Issue with 1t as to
the right to exact an indemnity and
reasonable repsration from Nicaragua.
considering the gravity of the offence
committed by the Nicaraguan govern
ment in expelling British official and
British subjects from Nicaragua,in def
ance Of all principles OF international
law and comfy. The fact that the
Americans who were expelled at the
same time by the Nicaraguans were az
forwards voluntarily permitted to return
to the country, hse not in any degree
served to palliate.the offense committed
against Great Britain and against civil.
ization in the eyes of our State Depart
ment.
In consenting to the execution OF the
British program in Nicaragua, however,
the State Department was very careful
to give full notice that it should not
permit the British to annex foot of
Nicaraguan soil or to interfere with
the republican form of government
there. 1t was fully intended that this
notice should be taken as an exposition
OF the position of this government in
the matter, and it is asserted that the
fears expressed by the Latin American
diplomatists in Washington that the
landing OF British troops at Corinto
would be the forerunner of a forcible
occupation by the British OF the terri
tory in dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela is without foundation.
Ambassador Bayard, at London, is
we'll acquainted with the views of the
President in this matter, and it ia
stated positively that he will not toler-
ate the occupation of the territory to
the westward of the famous Schonberg
line by Great Bratain. Secretary
Gresham, there is reason to believe, has
caused Mr.. Rayard to be informed OF
the position that will be assumed by the
United States, namely, that il cannot
permit the extension of the British
claim to the territory west Of the Schon
berg line, and the occupation of tina,
territory, at least in advance OF arbitra-
ton. This certainly seems firm enough
in support OF the Monroe doctrine te
satisfy the most exacting.

EARLY Use of Gunl.owder.

War DIES, roys, aid mt the same time is
the incentive for the creation of new
things. War and iron are inseparably
linked together. The discovery of gun
powder cansed IA complete revolution i'll
the manufacture Of iron. The mixing Of
sulphur. saltpeter and coal as u toy had
been known Tor a long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of %gnnpowder in
the fourteenth century only refers to
the application of powder during that
century for the purposes of war. TIC
credit the Monk Bertold SchwarZ, CT
Black, with the discovery of %gunpowder
is incorrect. However, his investiga-
tons into the nature of powder and it's
constituents for use as an applicable
force in guns produced a radical change
in the then customary warfare. and
from that standpoint Bertold Schwarz
deserves to be recognized as the pro-
moter Of modern warfare.
Hundreds of years before Schwarz's
time the Chinese used gunpowder.
The invention of field guns is credited
to the Chinese Emperor Vitey, OF. Wut-i,
who lived 14O years before Christ. Dur
ing the eleventh century the Tartars
learned the use of gunpowder from the
Chinese. The Arabs acquired the knowl-
edge of gunpowder from the Tartars
and are said to have used nno at the
siege of Lisbon in l147. The Greek fire
was invented in 66S A. D., and besides
setting fire to the enemies ships and
cities was used to shoot leaden pals
outicf metal cannon. Marcus Gracious,
who lived A. d. l2~04-1261. describes
gunpowder as "a mixture of two pounds
of coal, II pound of sulphur and six
pounds of saltpeter. Iron Age.

Milwaukee, Sept. 3.-There was such
a crowd around the residence Of the
Rev. w. A. Hunsberger, the marrying
parson, yesterday afternoon after the
arrival of the Chicago excursion boats
that the preacher was obliged to call
on the police to clear tie sidewalk. A
Chicago newspaper sent two reporters
"a nan and a woman-the latter in
boomers. to visit the parson. Their
arrival Mt the Hunsberger house had
the desired sensational effect, as the
story soon spread along Grand avenue
that a pair of bicycle riders in bloom
ers were being married. The Chicago
reporters We're unknown to the preach
er, and they explained to him that
they wished to- sit in his parlor to
await the arrival of friends who
wished to be married, and for whom
they wished to act as witnesses. The
story was invented by the reporters
who wished to be ION the spot" when
the grind began. They saw the couples
turned out at the ate of about one
every twelve minutes. After they had
seer all they wanted they departed,
and Mr.. H~unsberger did not know he
had entertained the newspaper people
until evening. Eight couples were
married while. they sat in the parlor,

DEATH OF TECUMsEH.
A New Version From One OF IN
Captains in h Battle.

A New Version From One Of the
Captains in the Battle.
A new account Of the death OF the
great Indian chieftain Tecumsen' OF
Tecumthe, was found among the pa
pers of Richard ]. Conner, editor OF
the Peru Sentinel, and widely KNOWN
and who died on July 25. 1t contains
information touching the question that
has heretofore been widely disputed.
Mr.. Conner said: "My father was N

the battle of the Thames, in anaaa
His command was attached TO Col.
Paurs regiment in that battle. fals
Indians did some good service ana
contributed to the defeat of the BRUSH

After the battle. late in the after
noon, he was summoned to the heIu-
quarters Of Col. r. NJ. Johnson, VINO
stated to him that it was the fulIor
that the great chief, Tecumthe, was
among the slain in battle, and request
ed my father to take some OF ms
friendly Indians and search the nelu

four or five Delawares and began Tue
search, which was successful. When
they found the body, some OF the IN

of Tecumthe. There was a strlklns
resemblance between the two broth
ers, Tecumthe and the prophet, put
one Of them had a spot or defect Oh
one of his eyes. One Of the Delawares
stopped down and pushed open Il
eyelid, and it was at once known mat
the dead man was indeed Tecumthe.
During the political campaign OF
1910 it was universally asserted by the
Democrats that Col. Johnson killed
recumthe.' My father often declared
that it could not be; that an old In.
dian warrior and a camp loW u

Wheatby, was probably Tecumthes
slayer. He vas a bitter Indian mater
and O crank on that subject. He was
not enrolled as a soldier, but went to
the battle on his w account. he

was shot through the breast, anu the
wound plainly showed that he came TO
his death from the effects or a snot
from a small-bore rifle, such as the
frontiersmen usually carried. A few
feet from the body of Tecumthe was
found that of Wheatly, who had been
killed in the thickest of the fight, at
a point to which he had pressed him
self near where the great chieftain
fell.
"At the time it was the. universal be-
lief with the soldiers who participated
in the battle and knew Wheatly that
it was he who did the killing. Col.
johnson led a regiment of Kentucky
volunteers and was mounted and arm
ed only with a sword and large horse
pistols. Tecumthe was killed by a
squirrel rifle and not by a horse piston.

A Fatal Colla.ion.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 3.-For some
months past there has been intense
rivalry between the Inman and Sing
or tug lines at this port, and each has
made the most OF every opportunity
to secure toAs. To-day this rivalry
eliminated in a fatality. The tug Me-
dinah, Of the Singer line, was running
alongside, the steamer Joliet as the
latter was passing up the bay and was
about to take her line when the Path
finder, of the Inman line, cut across
the bows of the steamer and the Me-
dinah without signalling. A collision
at once occurred. The Medinah struck
the Pathfinder and she rolled over like
Il log. Her jumped, and all but
Fireman Jacob Wasser were saved,
being picked up by a passing ferry.
Capt. Dietzel, of the Medinah, and
Capt. Brown, of the Pathfinder, were
arrested and locked up.
