TO SAVE JOHN HAMMOND.
General shorman's Son Appeals to In

General Sherman's Son Appeals to In
fuentiaI Friends in His Behalf.
DENVER, Col, Jan. 20.-Father Thorn
as E. Sherman, son of the late General
w. T. Sherman, who is engaged in
mission work in Denver, yesterday re-
ceived from James L. Houghteling of
the Chicago firm of Pea body & Hought-
cling, a telegram to the effect that the
trial of John Hays Hammond for high
treason, will occur at johannesburg
to- morrow, and urging him to use his
influence to avert the heavy penalty
that is likely to follow Hammond's
conviction.
Father Sherman and Mr.. Hought-
cling were classmates of Hammond at
Yale. Father Sherman at once wired
an appeal to his uncle, Senator Sher-
man, and to General Miles, who is also
a relative, to use their influence with
the administrati to interfere in
Hammonds behalf.

Set Upon by Two UnruIy Boys and So seri-
ousIy Injured That He Died.
DRExEL, Mo-, Jan. 20. = Henry
Foust, teacher of Prairie View school,
five miles northwest of here, died last
night from injuries which were in
ficted upon him some days ago by two
of his 16-year-old pupils. Foust, it
seems, severely punished Arthur Bish-
OPP for some misdemeanor in school
Young Bishops father was so angered
by it that he gave a knife to his son
and instructed him to use it in case the
teacher attempted to punish him
again. The next day the teacher
started to whip the boy and the latter
tried to carry out his fathers iustruc-
tions, but the knife was knocked from
his hand. At this point, another boy,
Earl burlington, interfered and as
sisted Bishop in beating and kicking
the teacher into insensibility.

MELBA.s GRACIOUS ACT.
Gives Her Little Secretary Pretty We'd

Gives Her Little Secretary Pretty We'd
ding.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2G-Mme. Nellie
Melba has made two young folks happy,
but in doing so lost her secretary.
When helba came back to America
last autumn she was accompanied by a
somewhat disconsolate little maiden who
had left her heart behind with blond
young Englishman with his fortune an
made, though in Ithe past he had had a
good start in the London Stock exchange.
There was no near prospect of we'd
ding, and the lovers found it very hard
to part.
Melba's sympathies were with them
from the first, and before long she devils
ed a surprise fer Miss Bennett. She in
vited Mr.. d ason to come over to America
to spend the holidays with his sweetheart
and his arrival was timed to meet Mefba's
party on the return from her concert tour
December 81.
Eight days ago, when they were to
have said farewell Nelba announced tha
she would have no farewell Mr.. Mason
could stop a week longer and then carry
his bride. She would give Miss Ben
nett's wedding and attend to all the res.
This turns out to have moant the trosseau,
the breakfast to 90 guests and Masen's
check for $1,000.
Melba doesn't do things by halves aad
the wedding she gave her protege Sat
urday was charming in every respect.
The ceremony, as IL was marriage
mixte," could not be celebrated in a
Catholic church, but was performed in
the drawing room of the archepiscopal
residence and the arch bishop gave the
benediction to the young couple.

THAT FLYING SQUADRON.
Rear Admiral Belknap Believes 1t Is
Headed for American Waters.

Rear Admiral Belknap Believes 1t Is
Headed for American Waters.
BosroN, Jan 20-''If the British
flying squadron should come over to
American waterslt would not astonish
me- said Rear Admiral Belknap, re-
tired, at his home on Beacon street.
II wrote to Admiral Bunce at Hamp-
ton roads three days ago that it would
not surprise me in the least if the
fiying squadron should be first heard
from at La Guayra.
From the moment it was an
nounced that the squadron was to be
commissioned L made up my mind it
was for American waters. 1 came to
that conclusion because matters had
quoted down in the TransvaaI and
the excitement over Emperor Will
Jams telegram to President Kruger
had subsidized. The reported activity
at St. Lucia and Halifax on this side
of the Atlantic, ana at the British
doclzyard at Esquimault, at the en-
trance of the Straits of Juan De Fuca,
in the Pacific, emphatically confirm
such a conclusion.
while some of our neople are argu
ing over the meaning and intent of
the Monroe doctrine and apolOgizing
for everything England does of what
ever character in any part of the
globe, the British government, in my
Judgment, is determinedly preparing
to take what she claims as belonging
to her in Venezuela.
I'm my opinion. if that squadron
does appear in American waters under
existing conditions, it can only be
construed as a menace to the United
States -

miss cara Barton,s PLANS.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 2o.-Rev.
Charles c. Creegan, secretary of the
American board of missions of the
Congregational church, lectured here
last night on the Armenian question.
After the lecture, he said Miss Barton,
of the Red Cross Society, would go to
Armenia to distribute the relief fund
collected in the United States. She
would not wait for the permission of
the Sultan of Turkey before starting,
but upon her arrival in Constantlnople
she would go to the Sultan with lin
lister Terrell and ask for permission to
visit Armenia in person.

The BOND BILL
Still a Subject of Discussion in

AND CUBA.
Ohio Democrats Boom Railroad
Magnate for President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o.-The present
indications are that the time of the
Senate this week will be divided be-
tween the discussion of finance and
the Monroe doctrine, the latter being
based upon the Davis resolution, and
the former on the free coinage substi
tute for the House bond bill. Several
Senators, including Teller, Daniel,
Cockren and White will speak on the
silver bill during the week, and the
proba biIities are that the consideration
of the bill will not be concluded
when the end of the week is reached.
No vote will be secured until the Utah
Senators take their seats but it will
come soon after that time. The silver
substitute is the unfinished business,
which fact gives it precedent over all
other matters each day after 3 o'clock,
thus rendering it impossi BILE to take up
the Monroe resolution except during
the morning hour unless by general
consent.
The tariff bill will be reported dur
ing the week, if Senator Jones of
Nevada. gives his consent.
The House will devote the coming
week to the consideration of appropria-
tiOn bills, unless a move IS made to
recognize the Cubans as belIigerents.
1t is quite probable the question may
be presented to the House in some
shape. The committee on foreign
affairs has as vet proposed no resolu-
ton on the subject, but there are
many indications that the whole
question will be considered IN the
House before long. The urgent de-
fciency and military academy appro-
priation bills, which are ready, go to
make up the regular work of the week.

WEATHER KITES.

WASHINGTON, Jan 20.-The weather

pose of Professor Moore to devise a

Three Tramps Horsewhipped.

CENTRALIA, NO., Jan. 20-Three
tramps visited this city Saturday
evening and, after becoming some
what intoxicated, began to disturb the
peace by entering stores, restaurants
and barber shops and threatening the
lives of several citizens. They were
locked up by the city marshal. Less
than an hour later they were taken
from the officers by six masked men
and escorted to lake one mile east
of the city. There each toamp was
given a severe horsewhipping and
then released. The tramps immedi-
ately fed.

WARN RED SNOW.
All the Snow That Falls Under This Tree
Is CoIored.

Is CO1Ored.
A wonderful snow phenomenon is to be
seen on the farm of Harmon Wolf near
Napoleon, about 20 miles south of Green's
burg, Ind. Near his house stands an ap-
pie tree, under which the snow is blood
red. This colored snow extends only so
far as the outer ends of the limbs, and
gradually fades into the pure white. This
patch of snow is red clear down to the
ground, seems dry and dusty and has a
peculiar taste, and seemingly is not as cold
as other snow.
Mr.. Wolf says there is nothing in the
soil or the tree that he knows of to pro-
duce this startling effect. For the past
five years he has noticed the Same red
snow under the apple tree. Three heavy
SHOWS fell on this spot last year. The
first was about eight inches deep and was
red. A week afterward about four inches
fell, but this was not colored SO much,
the red being only in streaks. Two weeks
later, after some little thawing, about
eight inches more fell, and this time was
all red in this spot.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
