stable Hartman swore that Mr.. Hubbard
told him that he owed the bill, but there
was a counter claim for dvertising
against the Youngs, and that the price
for the same had not been agreed upon.
Mr.. Hubbard denied there was any
partnership between himself and Mr..
Collingwood, and said he only acted as
Mr. Collingwood's agent In all the tran
sactions he undertook concerning the
Hillsgrove races. Mrs. Hubbard testified
that she received telephone message
from Collingwood to 60 TO Young's and
get 500 cigars for him, and she did 20,
taking the cigars to Mr.. Collingwood's s
saloon.
Mr.. Collingwood admitted he had sent
tbe.message to Mrs. Hubbard to get the
cigars and the reason he sent her to the
plaintiffs was that they had advertised In
the racing circular. When MIR. Colling-
wood was asked IL he did not receive the
money for the sale Of the cigars he re-
piled in the Affirmative, and in reply to a
further question .sof counsel for the de-
PENDANTS IL he did not have the money
now replied "No, wish 1 had" Some
OF Mr.. Coilingwood's replies were
equally entertaining.
Judge Sweetland decided that il was
not proven that Mrs. Hubbard acted as
the agent OF her husband, nor was the
existence of a partnership between Mr.
Hubbard and Mr.. Collingwood proved.
Mr.. Tower, counsel for the plaintiffs,
asked permission TO amend his writ and
make Mr.. Collingwood party defendant.
This motion Judge Sweetland denied and
gave decision for the defendant for
costs. Z. NJ. Salisbury was counsel for
the defendant.

Of escape, thus hemming the enemy pretty
effectively, although many escaped to the

dhows. AS this dispatch is sent, firing is
still proceeding in the outskirts of this
place; but all reel resistance has ceased.
Shortly after 10 o'clock in response to
another signal from the flagship St.
George, reinforcements of marines and
sailors were sent ashore from the British
ships and the work OF capturing the in
surgents, collecting the dead and attend
ing to tie wounded was commenced.
During this time cesultory firing could
be heard on the outskirts OF the town
from where Captain Raikes at the head
of 400 loyal Zanzibaris and detachment
OF British marines, notified Admiral
RawsoB that he was holding ell the main
roads.
When the insurgents had been COM
PEELED TO lay down their arms and were se-
curely corralled by the marines and blue
jackets, the latter were ordered to try to
extinguish the flames in the palace and
in the old custom house, which had also
been shellod and set on fire, as the insur-
gents had fortified 1t and had to be driven
from the building. But at noon, In spite
of the efforts OF the sailors to extinguish
the flames, the palace was mass OF
blazing ruins, the old custom house was
in ashes and number OF other buildings
demolished or set on fire by exploding
shells, were In ruins.
No casualties are reported among the
British ashore, and though all business
naturally is at a standstill, order will be
completely restored before nightfail and
the foreign residents will be able TO re-
turn to their residences on shore. All
the warships did some gond target prac-
tice with their guns, the six
inch guns of the Raccoon proving
particularly effective. Temporary hos
pitals for the care OF the native wounded
have been established ashore and they
are receiving as much care from the sur
geons of the warships as If they were
British sailors or marines.
The dead will be buried this afternoon,
and for the present the island will be
administered by Admiral Rawson pending
the receipt of further instructions from
the British government.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. 27.-The palace of the
Sultan OF Zanzibar was bonn oarded this
morning and at noon was a mass of blaz-
ing ruins. The usurping chieftain, Sajd
Khalid, and the commander of his forces,
said Sales, succeeded in escaping TO the
German consulate, where they have
sought refuge and remain under the
protection of the German flag.
Late yesterday ca bled instructions were
received from London and rnother con-
ference was held between the admiral
and the consul general, and eventually
an ultimatum was sent to Said Khalid,
ordering him to haul down his flag and
O'Clock this morning. AT the same time
the British residents of Zanzibar were
notified to be on board Admiral Rawsonrs
ships by O'Clock.
During the night there were a number
of distur Dances among the natives in the
outskirts of the town. but they were
promptly suppressed by the $50 British
marines and sailors who had been landed
10 protect property and guard the con-
sulate Of Great Britain. 1t Is understood,
however, that Said khalid received
further reinforcements from tho slave
dealers, who Hocked to his support, as
the formal hosting OF the British flag
over Zanzibar would mean the liberation
of about $50, 600 slaves and u death blow
to slavery in This part OF East Africa.
BY s O'Clock the British subjects num-
bering about 100 persons and number
OF other foreigners had embarked on
board the warships, the Italians going on
board the Italian gunboat Volturno and
the Germans seeking refuge at the Ger
man consulate.
Shortly before 0 O'Clock q naval officer
was sent to the palace square with an
other message for Said Khalid, ing
him IL he was prepared TO surrender in
accordance with the terms OF the ulti-
matum and again notifying him that the
palace In which he had barricaded MIN

Iy IL he failed to haul down his flag be-
fore that time. AS before, Said replied
that he would die sooner than surrender.
At o'clock the flagship signalled the

cruiser mentioned and the two gunboats
referred TO opened fire with their heavier
guns and 10 minutes later they had sent
storm of shot and shell into the palace,
tearing big gaps in it, scattering death
and confusion among its defenders,
while dismounting somo of the guns
ashore and putting to tight the gunners
handling the pieces. The fire OF the
warships was admirably directed, and
smoke was soon seen TO be issuing from
several parts of the palace.
During this time the ST. George and
Philomel were held in reserve, although
they occasionally pumped a she'll into
the enemy's camp, adding to the dismay
OF its defenders.

MARIAN BEINGS.
Is May Be That They Are Race OF
Winged High Filters.


If the attraction of the earth were less
powerful, our winged tribes might nave
received much greater Development In
virtue of the unquestionable principle
known as ''the struggle for existence,
these winged creatures, dominating all
others. would havo been the strongest.
Progress would have been effected along
this line. The superior race, the human
race, would have been winged race.
These simple considerations, which 1t
would be easy to extend much farther, arc
enough to convince us that our human
form is essentially terrestrial and that the
inhabitants of Mars cannot resemble US.
They are different
Upon Mars, for example, ono might sup
pose without scientific hercsy, that tho
remarkable ightness Of their bodies may
have developed tho winged race moro high
" in the direction indicated and that the
inhabitants of this planet may have re-
ceived the privilege of flight.
Does this amount to saying that, for
this reason, they must necessarily have
the form of birds? No The bats, arc they
not mammals which suckle their young?
Is 1t saying, then, thnt we must mag
inc them under this form? Not at all.
Nav they not rather be like dragon flies
huttering in the air above the lakes and
the canals?
AS to this point we can Imagine every
thing and prove nothing. tits even highly
probable that the reality is something abb
solutely different from all our terrestrial
conceptions.
On the one hand the lightness of the
Marian beings is favorable to their wing
ed constitution. On the other hand, how
ever, the atmosphere is hardly we'll fitted
to sustain them. But still we recall that
terrestrial zoology furnishes instances of
birds which are very heavy, such as the
condors and the vultures, and these are
just the ones which fly highest in the most
rareflcd regions of our atmosphere. They
have been observed even above the sum-
mits of the Himalayns the Andes and the
cordilleras at elevations of from 5000 to
5000 meters (27,00O to 10000 fcet), where
they can still soar freely, thanks to the
enormous spread of their wings.
Nor must we lose sight of the fact
that human being weighing 20 kilo-
grams Q54 pounds) would weigh no moro
than 26 Kilograms Csc pounds) if trans
ported TO the globe of Mars.-North Amer
