Col. Donan ON American scenery.

Col. p. Donan, the celebrated newspaper
correspondent, in recent letter had the fol-
lowing to say about the scenery on the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad:
More glorious panoramas Of sublimity and
beauty cannot be found this side of the Rocky
mountains than those that unroll themselves
TO the enchanted tourist at Harper's Ferry
an along the crag- walled windings of Cheat
River, on the Potomac and Monongahela. and
in the romantic valley of the Shenandoah. II
is all historic ground. In the old engine house
at Harper's Ferry John Brown began the
mighty four years war-the last 1t is to be
hoped, this generation of Americans will ever
see. All along the majestic Potomac the hos
tile camp fires blazed- Washington, the ma
tion's capital, was the prize for which a mill
lon embattled men strove through four wears
Of fire and blood. The whole line through
Maryland and Virginia is dotted with places
whose names have rung throughout the world
Nearly every station was battlefield, or the
scene OF skirmish or raid, or some exploit
of heroism or hardihood that has gone into the
history or the songs of nation.
Its Royal Blue trains between Washington
and New York are the fastest regular flyers
In America, and are unsurpassed in elegance
In all terrestrial creation. They combine every
extravaganza Of luXuriousness that can be put
on wheels, with the speed of the wind and the
safety of standing stiH. Though the average
running rate is about fifty miles an hour, so
perfect are all the appointments of tracks,
engines and cars, and so ceaseless the care
and vigilance that there has never been an
accident in all the years since these paragons
of palatial wheeling began to flash between
the metropolis and l9heo capital. They are
Royal trains, indeed With this exception
that the old world royalty never Travelled in
ANYTHING coInpared with them"

SAYS 1T is A MISTAKE.
Joseph New I'm Custody Charged
With Cattle Stealing.

Sheriff Charles Mcdonald, of Mandan, N.
D.. arrived in this city yesterday on his way
home from Indian territory, having in Gus
tody as prisoner Joseph New, who is charged
with having stolen six head of cattle and
sold them, and with the proceeds left the
country. The prisoner is a Texan by birth,
and his relatives reside in Indian territory.
He went to Montana, and thence to the Da-
kotas, where he was employed as a ranger.
When he left Mandan In December it was to
return to his home, where he was arrested
by United States marshal and held for the
sheriff.
New is a tall, angular fellow, twenty -four
years Of age. He stated that his occupation
was ''cow puncher,'' and he rather liked
the work. He admits being the man wanted
but denies the correctness of the charge as
outlined against him by the sheriff. His YER
sion is as follows: 81 left home in July, and
followed the trail to Montana, going to North
Dakota. There l was employed on a ranch
but in December injured myself and went
into a village for week. On returning to
the ranch, the two owners of it asked me
to drive six head of cattle to market for
them. They hired me at the rate Of $3.50
a day. I did not know where they got the
animals, and did not inquire, thinking they
were the property of the men. When I re-
turned, having received $50, the men paid
me to get out Of the country. 1 went from
there home, where 1 was arrested. 1 did
not know the authorities wanted me for
stealing until a few days ago, when 1
got letter from up there telling me that
there was a reward of $500 offered for my
capture. The men who hired me to sell the
cattle are still living in North Dakota, but l
realize 1t will be hard for to prove my
story"
The prisoner talked willingly, and with ap-
parent frankness. The sheriff resumed his
journey with the prisoner last night The
latter spent the night in the central police
station.

X RAY ON EXHIBITION.
One of the Novel Features of the
Cycle Show.

One of the surprises which will greet the
visitors at the Northwestern cycle show. which
begins at the exposition today, will be a.
practical eXemplifcation of the X ray. The
American Masonic Accident association has
recently enlarged it's field of operation, to in
crude special policy for wheelmen in ac-
cordance with the accident underwriters re
cent convention, and space has been secured
to advertise the business to the wheeling
public. In order to draw the crowd, and, at
the same time, show its method of doing
business, the x ray outfit, which the COMPANY
has brought into requisition in the prosecu-
ton of it's business, will be exhibited
The bane Of accident insurance and the
cause of the high premiums is the fact that. in
spite OF the greatest care, occasionally some
scoundrelly sharper manages to rob the COM
panies, something in the way that Holmes.
the famous Chicago insurance sharp, worked
his ne1arious and murderous game. In order
to minimize the loss from this cause. and. at
the same time, free the company from the
danger of occasionally fighting a just claim,
the new discovery in photography will be
used.
The apparatus Of the Masonic Accident COM
pany will be the largest Of the kind in the
Northwest. 1t has number of novel features
Which are original with the maker In the
apparatus in ordinary use, by which many of
the successful experiments were made the
battery was capable or generating a three
inch spark; in the one which will be on ex-
hibition at the cycle show the spark will be
from six to ten inches. The length-of wire on
the induction coil Of the common apparatus
was from one to two miles in length; that at
the show will contain over five miles of wire,
more than doubling the intensity Of the cur
rent. The Interruptions, which are commonly
made by vibrator, will be made by a motor
instead. The vibrator is capable of breaking
the current at the rate of from 700 to 1000
times minute; the motor will break the cur
rent at the rate of 10000 per minute. To the
inexperienced these comparisons will indicate
the superiority of the apparatus, which will
be exhibited.
The practical utility Of the X ray in the in
surance business has already been shown by
the work Of the company. There is case in
New York in which railroad man claims to
have suffered an injury which he knows can
not be disproved by any ordinary method 1t
is the fracture of bone in his body, which
cannot be reached by the touch. Nothing
short of the surgeons knife, unless 1t be the
rays, will show the fracture. The claim
has been held up in a half-dozen Offices until
the shadowgraph tells whether the bone is
actually broken whether the claimant is,
as is suspected, only shamming for the pur-
pose Of collecting the insurance.

Pretty Good Food Here, Too, and

1t is customary and natural to find
the cost Of living high where money is
abundant, says Harpers Weekly, but
in San Francisco there Is a variation
Of the rule in this respect-that the
necessities and even what we call the
luxuries of the table are singularly
cheap. And it is for the pleasure Of
the table that San Francisco is espe-
cially distinguished. With the de-
cline of its French restaurants and Of
the Pickwick clubs popularity, New
Orleans has had to rest it's laurels as
gourmets paradise upon her varied
and abundant market and the use that
is made of it by private entertainers.
San Francisco not only possesses a
still richer and broader market, but she
has a superabundance Of fine restau-
rants, headed by the Cafe Richie, Mar
chands, the Poodle Dog, and, for men,
the remarkable well-managed grill
room OF the Palace hotel, resort for
lovers Of fish, oysters and game the
ike or which is not to be found, out
side of New York, on this continent.
1t is true that the principal cooks
Of San Francisco are Cinnamon, and
that they are paid 80 per cent more
than we pay to our cooks in the East
But John Chinaman more than saves
the extra pay that he demands. He
saves 1t first in his capacity as the
market gardener for the city. He
raises as fine truck Of all kinds as is
attainaple in any capital of the world,
and how cheaply he markets 1t we
shall see further along Then, again.
in his role Of cook he is the most
economical buyer imaginable. He is
precisely as saving when he cooks for
millionaire as when he works in a.
boarding house. OF vegetables, for in
stance, he buys cents worth or two
cents worth for soup or garnishing,
and Of all the trif1es that enter into a.
days cooking he buys in the same
petty way precisely what he needs for
the next meal or order. He uses up
what he has and waists almost nothing.
In San Francisco-save in the treat
ment of game, which is purely Ameri-
can-John learns of French cooks. di-
rectly OF through the medium Of the
mistress of the house, and he distances
the Frenchman in his utilization Of
his stock in hand.
The abundance Of fish and game ex-
plains the cheapness thereof. Even at
Monterey within the confines of the
ancient village, I saw scores of wild
ducks swimming in a pond, and on
other small sheets Of water I saw them
continually from the car windows.
Terrapins, turtles, oysters, shrimps
and a greater variety of delicious fishes
than we are familiar with are Yield
ed by the Pacific and it's sheltering
arms. Vegetables and fruits are su-
perabundant. Strawberries are to be
had all the year round, and the fruits
that are allowed to ripen there are
greatly superior to those that we get
from there, plucked green to ripen on
the road. I wonder that the people of
the city do not call it 1.-THE Paradise
of America" without asking leave of
Cincinnati to borrow the nickname.

UPRISING is SPREADING.
Settlers Surrounding Mafeking in
Great Peril.

CAPE TOWN, April 5.-Alarm prevails at
Mafeking, and the farmers in the outlying dis
tricts are bringing their families into town.
They declare that the natives in the country
around are preparing to rise, on account of
the discomfort aroused among them by the
slaughter of their cattle in the effort to stamp
out the destructive rinderpest
This cattle disease has been creating great
havoc among the herds of the Transvaal and
Rhodesia has become paralyzed. Mafeking Is
on the northeastern border of Cape Colony,
with the Transvaal adjoining it on the East.
1t Is the point from which Jameson's raiders
set out for johannesburg. 1t is also the point
from which Sir Hercules Robinson governor
OF Cape Colony, last week dispatched q force
OF oOO British troops to assist in putting down
the Matabele uprising. The border of Mata-
beleland is $40 miles to the northeast and
Buluwayo is 45O miles away. The present out
break of discomfort can hardly be the result
OF race sympathy with the Matabele and If It
has any connection with the Matabele revolt
1t must be through the inciting agent being
the same.
Measures have been taken to protect Mafe-
king. The inhabitants have held a meeting
and decided to appeal to the governor. Sir
Hercules Robinson, to send troops, the police
not being sufficient for the protection of
Bechuanaland to the north.
LONDON. April GA dispatch to the Times
from Cape Town says:1, ''It is known that
over 100 whites have been killed in the Mata-
Dele rising and It is feared that the number
VIII amount to 200. A private telegram from
Buluwayo says that they have plenty of arms
ammunition and provisions for three months.
The Johannesburgers are equipping force
Tor Buluwayo, but it is stated that the feel
ing In Rhodesia Is to decline johannesburg
assistance The wires are interrupted, and
there is no news of Hon. Cecil Rhodes.''
Pretoria dispatch to the Times says:
+ col Rhodes has offered increased bail if he
might be allowed to go to Buluwayo, but per-
mission was refused. The British government
has intimated to President Kruger that the
uneasiness will probably continue until he
decides about going to England

friends since last Wednesday afternoon. He
lost his wife in the latter part of December,
and the loss has prayed on his mind to an
extent that has caused remark among his

CHARGES ABSURD.
Further Protests Against the Ex-
puision of Missionary Knann.


CONSTANTINOPLE, April 5. - Sir PHILLIP
Curr1e, the British ambassador, and ]. w.
Riddle, the United States charge d'affaires.
OIL Saturday renewed their protests to the
porte against the expulsion from Bitlis of
the American missionary Rev. S. G. Knapp.
Mr.. Knapp was accused by the Turkish Of
cials some time since of taking part in the
Armenian revolutionary movement, and was
summoned before the criminal court to an
swer to charge of conspiracy. Mr.. Hamp-
son, the British consul at Bitlis, reported
that the charges were absurd, and believed
that they were brought for the purpose of
compelling Mr.. Knapp and his fellow mis-
sionary, Rev. R. NJ Cole to leave the coun-
try. When he appealed to Mr.. Terrell. the
United States minister, by telegraph, that
gentleman told him not to answer the sum-
mons, and, if he were threatened with ar
rest, to stay in his house. Mr.. Terrell then
informed the porte that he would not consent
to Mr.. Knapp being tried by the criminal
court and that he must be brought to Con-
stantfnople to be tried before the United
States minister. Mr. Knapp has complained
that he has been blockaded in BitIis, his
servants not being allowed to go to the mar
ket, and the roads being so bad he could not
leave for Constantinopfe1
