is cliff which has some local fame.
It is of solid sto ne, perpendicular
from the base up, and iss something
over hundred feet high. From,the
top of il ,the country is visible for
miles and miles, affo riding agrand
view of the hill, mountain and stream.
A few feet back from the edge are
still plainly to be seen the earthworks
forming the rendezvous of the cele-
brated Sizemore and his gang of des-
peradoes. From the top of the
cliff they commanded full
view Of much used public
road, together with two fords
above and below, and great number
of hapless soldiers as we'll as private
citizens who had lucklessly incurred
their anger fell victims to their I'M
erring rifle bullets as they attempted
to pass all uncon scious OF danger.
Very near this cliff is little cave at
least a mile deep, on the sides of
which are written the name of once
prominent people who have long since
passed away, the dates running back
perhaps a hundr ed years. In one Of
the caverns is a perfect little table
formed of fat rock. During the
war this cave was used by some SOL
diers as a place for making saltpeter,
the hoppers being still in state OF
preservation. the earth looking as il
it had been dug but recently.

troops captured the rebel camp and pur-

HELENA (Mont), Dec. 5.-If the

in the National Park are being killed
is continued, it will not be many
months ere that beautiful park will
have lost all it's larger game. The
wholesale slaughter demonstrates that
the officer and soldiers put there to
guard the park and protect the animals
are either incompetent or unable to do
the work. Not many years or months
ago the park herd of buffalo numbered
about 500, and to-day it is impossible
to find fifty head. One gentleman who
came from the park last week said that
he visited every nook of the place, and
saw less than twenty. He was sent
down as an official investigator of that
very matter, and made that report on
his return. His visit was connected
with the recent arrest of Thomas
Courtney, who is now under bonds of
$1,000 to appear before Judge McHat-
ton and answer to the charge of killing
twelve buffalo in the park. He
killed the animals Only recently, and
sold some of the heads and hides in

ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE CANTON.
Secret Organization Conspiring to Form
an Independent Government.

Secret Organization Conspiring to Form
an Independent Government.
BOSTON, Dec. 5.-The following was
received in Boston this morning from a
reliable correspondent, who describes
the recent attempt to capture Canton,
South China. The writer says:
For some time rumors have been
afioat that a secret organization in
HOngkong was conspiring with men in
Canton to capture this city and es-
tablish an Independent government.
The plot ripened October 9th. a Sus
picious telegram came under the no
tice of an American resident regard
ing packages sent UP by the steamship
Powan The United States Consul was
notified, and he in turn notified the Off
cials. On the same steamer from Hong
kong came 400 men who expected to
aid in the revolt. The officials, how
ever being notified, captured seventy
five of these. All wore red sash under
their coats. They had no weapons, but
were to be supplied by friends in the
city The suspicious telegram proved
to be a communication between two
houses of the same firm, one in Hong
kong and one in Canton. The packag geS
sent proved to be five barrels of pis-
tolls and ammunition, labeled Cement
The attempt thus for proved mis-
cradle failure, as notice was given in
time, and the authorities are now max
ing diIigent search for the leader. as
well as for more weapons. It is said that
a large amount has been smuggled in
on various occasions, also that there
are thousands in sympathy with the
movement. The Hongkong papers speak
of it as a patriotic movement, and
worthy Of support, but foreign residents
have cause to think otherwise
THE plan of the organization was
first to capture the city treasury, and
next to demolish the Viceroy's palace.
BY this time they would expect suffi-
cient aid to storm the city. They next
expected to proclaim an independent
government. and to take measures to
hold the city. The movement has in
volved the Christians to a considerable
extent.
"The ring-leader is a man who was
baptized several years ago. but did not
prove to be worthy member. Others
who have been at some time connected
with various societies of Christians are
also implicated some willingly, believ-
ing the movement goOd. others through
deception Great excitement prevails,
especially inside the city near a chapel,
which had been used, unknown to the
missionary, as a sort of rendezvous for
some Of the conspirators. The hatred
against Christians naturally has in
creased. and they are bitterly de-
nornced. The effect upon work was al
most instantaneous I do not think

sionaries, but the Consul urges them TO

perfectly quiet till the scheme of reform
was well tried. Those who are forced
to give up plunder are bitterly COM
planning that they were told to plunder,
and now are forced to give up what
they got, beside having ruined their Ar
menian neighbors and friends.
The scheme of reform has now be-
come an impossibility. The only hope
of this land is foreign occupation.
This part of the country will undoubt-
edly fail to Russia.
We hope the time is not far distant
when we shall see order restored on
permanent basis. Very many bread
winners have been killed. The bread
provided for the winter has been plum
dered. All opportunity for winning
bread is cut off. The remnant of the
people are left in utter destitution.
They cannot get out of the country, be-
cause the Government will not let them.

have no means of transportation, and

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The correspondent
of the United Press at Constantinople,
telegraphing under yesterdays date.
says that in the massacre which oc-
cured at Marash on November 18th,
the killing, plundering and burning was
done by the Turkish troops alone. There
was absolutely no uprising of the in
habitants, and no violence whatever,
except on the part Of the military. The
people massacred were poWerless to de-
fend themselves, and fell like sheep be-
fore the swords and guns of the sol
diers. 4 massacre has also taken
place at F'illeh, near the city of Tollhat.
1t is learned that in the massacre which
took place at Kaisarea on November
Both 200 persons were killed.

of the Prudential Committee of the

request was adopted, and will be for
warded at once A favorable response

humane organization, being interna-
tional in its character, is the only one
which can successfully administer

WENT BACK ON PROMISES.
Pittsburg Bankers Do Little to Assist
the L. =. Treasury.

the Z. ;. Treasury.
PITTSBURG. Dec 5.-Some months
ago Pittsburg bankers formed a syndi-
cate for the purpose of raising 81 ,000.-
600 in gold for shipment to Washington
for the purpose of keeping up the treas
ury reserve fund At that time the
Pittsburg bankers We're as willing to
help out Uncle Sam as any bankers in
the country A rupture, however, has
occurred somewhere-just where no
body seems to know-and as a result
the 81 600 600 has not been raised.
James H. Wilcox, President of the
Second National Bank of Pittsburg,
took it upon himself to raise the money
i this city. He is said to have visited
everyone of the sixty odd banking in
stitutions here, and secured promises
aggregating $1,000.00O. Eight or ten
of the largest and soundest banks in
the city had agreed to furnish this
amount. 1t was resolved to wait until
after the Presidents message was sub
nlitted ostensibly for the purpose of
learning just what the Administration
desired in the matter of financial re-
Mobilization.
Back of this, however, there seems to
have been a hidden move. jealousy
had been stirred up among the banks,
and the trouble-makers were rapidly
sowing the seeds of discomfort. Prom
ises were Withdrawn, and those who
had opposed the syndicate idea from
the first chuckled heartily as they saw
the million-dollar fund dwindle down to
a paltry 100000. As an excuse for
broken pledges. several said they had
talked the matter over and had CON
cluded that there was no use of drain
ing the banks of gold when the deple-
ton of the Government reserve fund
was habitual. They maintained that
as long as there were no remedies forth
coming to stop the drain on the treas
ury, it was just like sinking gold into
an endless abyss.
OF all the banks that had promised to
send gold to the treasury only one could
be found to-day that lived up to its OBJ
legations. This was the Peoples Ma
tional Bank, which shipped 100000
yesterday This bank also shipped
$50 600 in gold some months ago,
making $250,000 in all. Most of the
cashiers and bankers, when questioned
to- day on the matter, would give no
reason for the change in sentiment,
but curtly replied that they had moth
ing to say.
