a Sensible Girl.

Some months ago young English
girl came to an American city to marry
young man to whom she was afiianced
IN England, and who had come to this
county two years previ US to engage
IN business. She was to marry him at
the home of friend of her mothers,

We have only to add to the above the
wish that all of the young men would

CROSS LOTS SCHEME.

Ingenious Plan for Uniting tho Northern
Pacific and Great Northern.
New YORK, July 27.-There is re-
port that, short line running south
and north may be built to connect the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
lines. This ''cross lots scheme" as it
is called, has materialized as a means
for insuring the legality of the pro-
posed union. It is looked upon as a
mere suggestion. the plan being that
the company owning this short line
could legally acquire both main lines,
as it would not be competitor with
either. The Financial Bulletin, which
has good sources of information, says
that the reorganization plan may be
completed by next week. A German
banker is reported here to look after
German interests. which amounts to
about 800, 100000 President Hill is
busily engaged on matters connected
with the proposed deal.

The Journal from New York says:
The presence here of M. j. Dowling,
John Goodnow and Sam Phillips, who
are all speaking earnestly for Cushman
X. Davis for president, attracts much
attention from politicians, who regard
it as step towards starting the Davis
boom in the East. These Minnesotans
say that Senator Davis can count on
solid delegations from Minnesota.
North and South Dakota, as well as on
a part of the Wisconsin delegation.
The Morning Journal prints q
large portrait of the senator and
says that whatever may be his
presidential strength, he is undoubt-
edly the most formidable vice presiden-
tial candidate whose name has been
mentioned. 1t is said that Mckinley,
Reed and Harrison have each been
claiming the Northwest, but now find
rival in the field. 1t adds: "Minne-

SITUATION DOESN'T IMPROVE.

Definite News Of . Fight Between Whites
and Indiana Il Hourly Expected.
PoCoTELLA. Ida, July 27.-The Sit
nation in Northwestern Wyoming,
where the Indians are on the war path,
has not improved. In fact all the ad-
vices that have reached this reservation
are of directly opposite nature.
Adjuntant General Sitter of Wy
oming, who was at Market lake, was
hourly expecting to hear that con.
fiict had occurred between the settlers
and the Indians in the Jackson Hole
valley. Two Of his messengers dis
patched to that district several days
ago have Lot returned. although over
due, and grave fears are now enter
tanned that they have been ambushed
by the Indians. From the other direc-
tion the news is of an equally disquiet-
ing nature.
The Indian police who have returned
from the Salt river valley where the
big trading pow WOW has been in prog.
ress for a week, say that the band of
Bannock Indians under the leadership
of Jim Ballard, has started north
toward the seat of trouble. If these In.
dians reach the belligerents in the Fall
river valley before the troops get there,
and they undoubtedly will, the result
may be disastrous. Billiards. band is
composed Of the worst element of the
Bannocks, and the general run is bad

Cry OF MEXICO. July 27.-The
question of the ex,radition of Chester
and Richard Rowe, wanted by the
Iowa authorities. is still under consid-
GRAFTON in the department Of foreign
relations. It appears probable that
the naturalization here of Chester
will have no effect on the final
decision of the case. 1t is an ac-
cepted belief here that the United
States government is not usually dis
posed to grant extradition in the case
of persons wanted by the Mexican
authorities. This belief has caused un-
pleasant feeling. but the Mexican gov
ernment has not been disposed to re-
taliate, as it is the policy of this gov
efnsnent not to allow the country to
become an asylum of refuge for foreign
criminals.

CHINESE CIVIL WAR.

HO Tung, - Prominent Banker, Expects
u Revol ution.
SAN Francisco, July 27.-Ho Tung,
a Chinese banker of Hong Kong, who
figured in the unsuccessful negotiations
in England to float the Chinese war
loan, arrived from the Orient ON the
steamer City of Pekin, and is en- route
to New York and London. In discuss
ing the effects Of the war, he says the
ofiic al days of Ii Hung Chang are
numbered, and inclines to the belief
that the country will be engulfed in a
revolution. He bases his prediction Of
internal strife not only upon the gen.
eral discomfort Of the people, but upon
the superstition Of the masses, and the
fact that the fall OF the present dy-
nasty in this century was prophesied
over 400 years ago.
Ii Hung's Wealth.
Ii Hung Chang's enormous wealth,
Ho Tung says. has much to do with the
great viceroy's declining popularity.
The Chinese believe Lii Hung Chang is
the richest man in the world, and that
his wealth has much to do with his
tenacious grip on Office. Expressed in
American money he is supposed to be
worth $500, 600, 900. He is the owner
Of great rice fields and innumerable
pawn shops, the latter being considered
good and very profitable Investments
They are licensed by the government
and are numbered by the thousands.
These are, as a matter of fact, in the
nature Of great banking institutions,
with an enormous percentage of profit
Ho Tung says that John w. Foster,
who was one of China's representatives
in the recent treaty negotiations with
Japan, was paid 500, 600 for his serv-
ices by Ii Hung Chann.

ing.
COMMISSIONERS IN NEW YORK
ho Tung Talks About the Prob
ability Of a Big Revolu-
ton.

New YORK, July 27.-China is fast
completing arrangements to place large
orders for ships, guns. small arms and
her plans was disclosed when Colonel
M. r. Jeffards, G. E., military attache
Of her legation in London, and Fung
How Woong, secretary Of the embassy
in the English capital, arrived in this
city, after successful test in Perry
vile, this state, of q new and destruc-
tive projectile. After her recent dis
astrous experience with Japan, and
following the example Of France at the
close of the war OF 1870, with Ger.
many. the country promptly decided
not to be caught mapping again.
Commissioners were therefore sent
to Europe and America with
this object in view, and it was
said that the fruits of this work will
soon be apparent. 1t was also indicated
that the builders Of ships, the manu-
facturers of big and small guns and
ammunition in this country, when
China places her final orders, will have
considerable cause for congratulation,
it being known that the reports thus
far made to the government are greatly
in favor of
American Patterns and Devices.
The shells that they have tested at
Perryville are known by the name Of
the inventor, Justin, who claims to
have solved in his new projectile the
problem OF using explosive gelatine
with safety.
The gun used to make the test was q
nine-inch Blakely rife. Two shells
were fired, the first with load Of %
pounds of fine rife powder, and the
second with 36la pounds of dynamite.
Both were successfully fired. and a
thorough demonstration of their rela-
tive power furnished. The target was
an immense limestone cliff. The shell
charged with gunpowder broke the
rock where it struck, while the other
loaded with dynamite blew the cliff to
pieces. The blast from the latter was
SO severe that an immense volume Of
powdered rock filed the air and the
conclusion was felt for miles around.
The Chinese commissioners expressed
themselves as thoroughly satisfied and
were enthusiastic over the dynamite
shell.
