Advices received here from Beirut
report that a severe fight has taken
place between the Turkish troops and
the Druses near Zudich. The fight took
place on Dec. 81, and, according to the
official report, the Druses lost 12,200

and fifty wounded.
Fhe representatives of the powers en-
tered a protest before the commission
which controls the execution Of the re-

mediate recall Of the Kadi of

the Mussulmans to disturbances. It is
reported from Marsus that disturbances
have occurred there between Mussul-

was, however, soon quelled by the au-

to explain the arrival Of the mission
aries and Christian families at Marsina

Advices from the Island of Crete say
there have been no fresh disturbances
there.

Suit Commenced Against the Travellers
For $4,000 of 1t.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 26-Notice has
been served upon the state insurance
commissioner by w. H. Eustis, attor-
ney. for the administrators of the estate
ct Catherine Cling, that suit has been
brought against the Travellers Insur-
ance company Of Hartford to collect the
$4,000 accident policy taken out by Miss
Cling at Hayward's suggestion and
made payable to him in case Of death.
The company for time intimated that
it would pay the policy without ques.
tion, but for some unaccountable reason
recently decided to make fight. The
announcement was made very abruptly
to the interested parties in Minneap-
oils, and nothing remained but to bring
suit. The insurance company may be
holding out on the ground that there
was fraud in the taking out of the pol
icy. That there was fraud as to Hay
ward there can be no question, but just
how it is proposed to show fraud on
Miss Ging's part is something of nlys-
terry. The lawyers say that nice
point of law is involved in the case.

TO OFFER A SUBSTITUTE.

Prominent Democrats Preparing Il BiH
for Coinage of seigni rage.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.A plan has
been drafted by ex-Speaker Crisp and
Mr., Smalley OF Texas which will be
offered as a substitute for the Repub-
lican measures to be presented Thurs
day. ltis based upon the old bill for
coming the silver seigniorage which
was passed by the last congress and We
toed by the president, but to this bill
modified, will be added a feature for
redemption Of greenbacks. The prin-
cipal change in the seigniorage bill will
be the omission of that part which rem
dered available the Sc. gniorage before it
had been coined by the use of silver
certificates based upon it. The other
feature Of the plan will provide for
the redemption of greenbacks in silver
whenever the amount of gold in the
treasury falls below $1OO, 600, 900. The
Democrats who favor the plan intend,
Of course, to merely place themselves on
record as consistent in their financial
policy.

showed that Orchardson came here in
1892 with the notorious Vera Ava,

worked themselves into her good

stay long. She had defrauded a con-
fiding spiritalist at Elgin to the amount
Of $500 and was convicted of larceny.
Orchardson, however, was more fortu-
nate, and, with medium named Will

A Curiosity Found on the Banks of the

EUFAULA, I. T., Dec. 26.-Mr. Moe
key, Of Texanna, has curiosity in the
shape of a skull, which he found the
other day on the Verdigris river, north
of Texanna, in the Cherokee country.
It is the skull Of some extinct specie of
animal, shaped very much like that of
a COW, but is tremendous in size, meas
uring three feet from root to root OF the
horns. One Of the horns. which re-
main yet unbroken, measures IL inches
in circumference. The only tooth re,
naming in the tremendous jawbone
weighed nine pounds.
Several other parts Of the vast skele.
ton were exposed by the late floods in
the Verdigris, but they were too heavy
to bring away. The shoulder blade has
been protruding above the sand for
years, but passers-by thought it was an
ordinary bowlder, and the true nature
remained undiscovered until a few days
since, when nearly all Of the parts of
the mammoth We're unearthed.

FRENCH TROOPS IN AMAPA.

Sn,na. Of Her lSnundar3, Iinex

srazil. Too. II Having Trouble Over
Some of Her Boundary Lines.
NEW YORK, Dec 26.--A special dis
patch to the World from Colon, Colon
bia, says French troops from Martini
ique and Cayenne are reported to be
pouring into Anlapa. This territory il
claimed by both France and Brazil. If
the information is accurate that the
French have occupied Amapa the Mon
roe doctrine is likely to be invoked
again. The Dutch, the English and
she French all have disputes with Bra
zil as to the boundary between Brazil
and the Guiana. Not one Of these dis
putes has been settled, and each one
Occasionally Threatens an Outbreak.
France claims {; territory fully as large
as that which she holds without dis
pute. She says that the southern bound
any of French Guiana is the Amazon
river. Brazil says that the southern
boundary of French Guiana is the River
Oyapucl1, and it is this boundary that
appears as the French boundary OH the
ordinary maps to be found in this coun-
try.
Until Brazil became a republic she
and France, by agreement, kept out Of
the disputed territory and left it to the
mercy of bandits, who were occasionally
pursued and captured by the police OF
either country. With the republic the
disputed territory was annexed by
Brazil to the State of Para and a certain
Cabral was sent to govern it.
This Cabral rebelled against the Bra
lillian government, yet insisted that he
was a Brazilian governor. He oppressed
the French who We're settled there and
excited the wrath of the French colon
ial government at Cayenne. For in
stance, he subjected a Frenchman
named EvarIste to the most horrible
tortures because he piloted a French
nan-of-war to Mapa He has his jails
full Of French citizens.
French Troops in Disputed Territory.
The French colonial government sug-
gested to the home government that
French troops should occupy Mapa,
Counadi and Carsevenn, the three prin-
ciple settlements in the disputed terri
tory, and the home government APP
proved the suggestion over three months
ago. They are, in all probability, now
beginng to act upon it.
This does not necessarily mean that
France proposes to occupy and hold the
whole of the disputed territory. She
has again and again shown willing
ness to give over half her claim,
that is, to accept the course of the
River Araguay as her southern and
western boundary. She has also made
many attempts to have the dispute ar
bitrated. The occupation may ostensi-
bly,, and perhaps be really, for law and
order until the dispute is settled by ar
bitration. The territory, which has
rich gold mines, is practically in state
Of anarchy.
