Presenting Arms to = CAT.

sone nifty years ago a very high En-.
gllsh official died in a fortress in India.
at a place that is ono of the centers Of
Brahmanic orthodoxy, and at the mo-
ment when the news of his death
reached the sepoy guard at the main
gate a black cat rushed out of it. The
guard presented arms to the cat as a
salute to the flying spirit of the power
full E~nglishman, and the coincidence
took SO firm a hold of the locality that
up to a few years ago neither exhorta-
tion nor orders could prevent a Hindoo
sentry at that gate from presenting
arms to any cat that passed out at
night.

SPAIN is PENITENT.
Very Satisfactory Note Received -
q ,hingtOn.


Washington, June 5.-The state de-
partment received to-day from United
States Minister Taylor at Madrid the
complete and fina answer of Spain to
the demand of Secretary Gresham for
a disavowal Of the firing on the United
States merchant ship Alliance. The
document has been awaited for some
time with interest, and it was undoubt-
eddy one of the main subjects which
Acting Secretary of State Uhl brought
to the attention of the cabinet at the
meeting to-day.
The answer is most cordial in tone
and is expressive of the fullest disa-
vowal of the course of the commander
of the Spanish gunboat which fired on
the Alliance. 1t is said to be entirely
satisfactory to this government, as
it fully meets in letter and spirit the
demands made.

TEXAS TARGET SHOOTING.

Hitting the Bulls Eye at o Yards Every
Time.
Three or four Detroit drummers, home
from the West, were talking in the ho-
tel Office about some of the target
shooting they had seen among the
cowboys, and the tales they told were
evidently listed for heavy discounts.
Listening very intently and quiet y to
all they said was an agricultural-look-
ing man and when they had finished
he put in:
Some men mightn't believe the
stories you gentlemen have been tell
ing" he said. but I do. I've just got
IN from Texas, and I saw some shoot
ing down there that would make me
believe anything"
For instance?" suggested one of the
drummers, as the new candidate APP
peared to have some doubts about
going ahead.
"Well," he continued in a grateful
tone, II saw several of the feats you
mentioned, but one day l saw a thing
that beat them all. There was a COM
pany of militia called the Crockett
rifemen, or something like that, with
about 100 or ITO men in it, shooting at
a target at long range and making
bull's-eyes than I ever witnessed.
FINALLY the captain put up a target
twelve feet square, with a six-inch hole
in the center, at 200 yards, and formed
the entire company in a long line in
front of it. The command to load was
given, and then very slowly came,
'Aim-fre,' and, by thunder, gentle
men. there wasn't a bullet mark on
that target. Every ball had gone
through the hole in the middle!"
The agricultural gentleman looked
at the drummers a minute and they
looked at him, and then rose silently
and went up stairs to bed.

greatly ~discolored around the place that
the teeth Of a vicious dog had penetrat-

PENNEY lvania Forest Fires Sweep On.
ward-Town In Danger.

Bradford, Pa, June 5.-Elk county
has experienced a number of destruc-
tive forest fires, out those OF Sunday,
and yesterday surpass them all. The
fire at Russell City was one that drove
terror to the hearts OF the 500 people
who inhabit the place. At 10 o'clock q
brisk west wind sprang up and famed
the burning brush and hemlock timber
into one solid mass of fire covering a
stretch of three miles in width. n
people who were about exhausted from
fighting the flames for the past three
days were forced to flee Tor their lives
The flames spread so rapidly that the
people had to leave everything n run
through the clearings two miles dis
tar to Highland Corners. Many women
fell exhausted and were trampled on
but reached Highland in safety. Moth
ing is left of the once busting little
place. The fire is still burning fiercely
among the oil wells. 1t is impossible
to estimate the loss.
The woods leading to Clark's mills
are one mass of flames on both sides
Of the road, and how the people who
live along the road could have escaped
is beyond comprehension. There is no
" dAly ACSSAAPSAOA WAN
this place and no news obtainable from
there, but there is no dou of every
thing having been burned in the path
Of the fire, as there was no protection
of any kind. Every available man is
out fighting fire, and there are not half
enough.
Coon Run, three miles from Russell
City, which was wiped out yesterday

the face Of the earth. and nothing re-
mains to show that there ever was such
a place. The place consisted Of twenty
seven buildings, a pump station, school
house and saw mill. Men, women and
children made a wild rush for the rail-
way track, a distance of five miles,
while the flames played havoc with all
their belongings, and the Northern
company lost forty Oil wells at this
place and a large number Of new rigs
that had been built for new weeks.
About twenty-five tanks of oil We're
consumed and lent energy to the flames.
The loss will be very great. No esti-
mate can be made until the fires ahate.
Reports from Duke Center state that
the entire valley is on fire, and the loss
to oil and lumbermen will be enormous.
Kansas Branch, Rixford, Davis City,
ummit City, Dallas City, Oil Valley,
Limestone, State Line, Derrick City
n Red Rock are all in it, and unless
rain falls soon there is no telling what
the result will be. The sky is black with
smoke and the mountains are invisible.
Not an idle man can be found and calls
for men come from every direction.
Men are still fighting the fire at De-
golia, and apparently nave 1T under con-
troll. Nothing has been heard from West
Branch, where a brisk fire is burning.
Everything at Sugar Run, including
saw mills and dwellings. We're burned
n nothing remains of the place. The
hire at is still burning fiercely
n there is no prospect of checking the
spread Of the flames. 1t is impossible
to get men, n consequently the fire
makes rapid Roadway.
