LONDON, Feb. 17.-Under Secretary of
the Foreign Office George N. Curzon, re-
plying in the house of commons today to
questions, said the powers had not in
formed Russia that her occupation of
Armenia would not be objected to. Such
occupation, he added, without the con-
sent of the sultan, would be In violation
of the treaties of Paris and Berlin. Cur
zon also said the statement of the Rus

Lobanoff Rostovsky, that Russia was
willing to undertake to MAINTAIN order
in Armenia was spontaneous.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 17.-At the con-
ference today after Julian and Connolly
had wrangled some minutes, Fitzsim-
mons broke in with great heat and de-
clared that as long as he could not get
the $1,000 forfeit money, he would not
fight. Turning to Connolly he said:
t'You are all a pack of ours; you are
afraid to fight, and your man has not
been able to get into condition because
he has been afraid all along.'
Waving his arms, he yelled to the
newspaper men and spectators, "Gentle-
men, the whole thing is off; 1 refuse to
fight Maher unless am paid my forfeit
money. 1 am willing to fight Maher,
Corbett or any man in the world
Julian made proposition that Con-
nolley name five men and he would ac-
cept their decision. Connolly agreed.
The committee named by Connolly was
Siler, Houseman, Fitzgerald, Naughton,
and O'Rourke, Stuart being requested to
act as chairman. The committee decid-
ed that the articles of agreement of Dec
ember 5, were abrogated Friday, and
under the circumstances Julian could
not justly claim the forfeit.

HIS RUIN.
Suicide of George A. Rogers a Promi,
nent Citizen of Lander.

A dispatch from Lander says: The
people of Lander today followed to the
grave the remains of George A. Rogers,
one of he county commissioners Of
this county, a young man of great
promise, SO years of age. Mr.. Rogers
lived about eight miles from town, and
last Wednesday came TO the city on
business and while here was tempted
to gamble. He had been addicted to
this habit for some time, but told his
wife on leaving home hat she could
depend upon it hat he would no longer
hazard his money or his reputation in
the gambling room, as before mention-
ed. By some chance he got into a
game. and continued to play through
Wednesday. Wednesday night, Thurs
day up to midnight. when he got up
from the table broke. Immediately he
called on a friend to borrow a pistol,
giving some excuse for his need of it.
He then went to his hotel and evident,
ly did not sleep. At 6 O'Clock the next
morning a shot was heard by the in
mates of the hotel, but no one thought
of it being in n Of the rooms. At 10
O'Clock one Of the servants entered Mr..
Rogers room and found him lying on
the bed, his head propped up on two
pillows, his hands crossed on his breast
and in the right one was a 3S-caliber
Colts revolver. On examination 1t was
found that he had shot himself just
above the right ear. the ball passing
through his head and coming out just
above the left ear. evidently death be-
ing instantaneous. His humiliation at
breaking his word to his wife had evil
IDENTIFY unbalanced his mind. The Ma
sons and Knights Of Pythias buried
him today and his funeral was an i'm.
posing event. He leaves a wife and
three yOung children,

THE SURRENDER.

London, Aug. 23.-According to spe-
cial dispatches from Buluwayo receiv-
ed by the London papers. the Mata,
belle chiefs promised not to fight the
English forces, provided Cecil Rhodes
would agree to remain in the country
and care for them. They also asked for
the removal of a prominent govern
ment official whose conduct they COM
planned OF bitterly. Cecil Rhodes re-
piled. telling them that the official re-
ferred t. had already left the govern.
ment service. He then asked the chiefs
whether they were for peace or wal.
Seclmbo, the leading chief. laid his
gun and assegai before Mr.. Rhodes and
signifled that they in favor OF
peace. Cecil Rhodes promised to spare
their lives but said that the surrender
must be unconditional. At the conclu-
sion of the conference Secumbo cried:

MATABELEW WAR OVER.
NATIVES HAVE LAID DOWN
THEIR ARMS TO CECIL
RHODES.
The Surrender Unconditional and All
the Natives Ask is That Rhodes
Shall Remain in the Country and
Enforce Certain Reforms Promised
Them.

BuIuwayo, Aug. 23.-The mission OF
Hor. Cecil Rhodes to the Matabeles is
reported to be a pronounced success.
The natives lave yielded and the war
is considered at IN end. Cevil Rhodes
inspired the confidence of the Matabele
The chiefs complaint is the ill-usage
by the native police provoked the re-
bellion, and Rhodes promised them
that reforms in this respect would be
i~naugurated at once. Earl Gray, who
was appointed to administer the affairs
within the jurisdiction of the British
South African company, believes that
the surrender of the natives was prac-
ideally unconditional.
The war with the Matabeles, which
began in South Africa early in 1896. in
many respects resembled the early In
dian wars in America. Several hun
dred settlers in the most sparsely set
tied portions of M~atabeland were MUIR
dered by the natives.
Survivors in the country districts
quickly gathered in the larger towns
and lines of defense were thrown UP.
while the existing fortiications were
garrlsoned as strongly as possible. The
natives were at first commanded by a
son of the late King Lobengula. To
the number of 10000 they gathered on
the hills around Buluwayo. the princi-
pal town.
To a considerable extent they were
actuated by a sort Of religious frenzy.
but other causes are said to have COM
bined to bring about the trouble. Chief
among these were the wrongdoing OF
the native police and the imposition by
the South African Chartered company
OF a hut tax on the $4,000 huts OF the
natives in Matabeland. The tax the
natives sternly resisted for many
months. but the chartered company in
sisted upon this revenue being collect

Moon .. Nature. Dining Hour.

Persons who keep close watch on

Of life. At that time the human frame
.undergoes serious changes. The stomach
has dispatched the morning meal and
sends scouting parties in search of an
other. The eyes and brain are OH the
alert, and there is q sort Of all goneness
pervading the anatomy that sharpens
the faculties and puts q new edge on the
teeth. 1t Is NATURES dining time, and
everything about the healthy man or
woman ia attuned to the demolition or
enjoyment Of what il called a good

the prompting Of nature at this divine
hour have their reward in good appetite,
good temper and excellent digestion,
which is conducive to all the good that
aesh is heir to. But those who, follow

OF INTEREST TO BICYCLE RIDERS

There can be no question that one
of the most important parts of a bicy.
Gle is the tire. Ii has to bear the brunl
of the work, is constantly coming in
contact with destroying elements. and
generally receives the least care from
the rider. The importance of the work
it has to do was early recognized by
makers of bicycles, however, and they
portant adjunct of the wheel.
There are today, perhaps 80 differ
ent styles OF bicycle tires on the mar
ket, all of which vary in detail. AS to
their various merits. theories are of
little value; actual experience Is the
only way to determine this question.
Unless an article gives satisfaction, de-
mand for it soon ceases. After a test
Of over six years. during which time
double-tube and single-tube tire have
been marketed. at least three-fourths
of all the riders in this country today
demand and ride doublc-tube tires.
The leading firm in the United
States. and in fact in the entire world,
in tho manufacture of double-tube
tires, is Morgan & Wright, Chicago.
Their history is interesting. The first
pneumatic tire-the r~ags-and-glue
kind-was giving trouble. and Morgan
& Wright stepped in to fill a great pub
lie want. They furnished a tire that
could be easily taken from the rim to
be repaired. That was the principal
requirement in those days, besides the
usual requirements of speed, durability
and comfort.
That was several years ago. Single,
tube tires had been pushed in Europe.
and were failing. and the same effort
was being started in this country. The
Morgan & Wright double-tube tire
quickly proved its superiority-with
the result above stated. The quick-re-
pair inner tube, which is this year a
standard feature of all of this jrm's
tires, has made the position of double
tube tires practically invincible, by
making it quick and easy for the rid
ers to secure, at the roadside. a perma,

HOKE SMITH RESIGNS.
Mr.. Reynolds Will Probably Be His
Successor in Office.

Washington, Aug. 22.-For some
time rumors have appeared in print on
the probability of the early resigna-
ton Of Secretary Hoke Smith. There
car now be no doubt that he has re-
signed and that his resignation has
been accepted.
For several days past shipments
have been made to Atlanta Of his books
and papers, and 1t is learned that he
has declined to set any department
business to be heard by him later than
this month. 1t can safely be assumed
that a successor will be in charge in a
very short time. After the nomination
of Bryan and Sewall it became known
hat Secretary Smith was the only
member OF the cabinet who announced
the purpose to support that ticket and
that this action on his part while not
in any way affecting his personal re.
lations with the other members Of the
cabinet, seemed SO material to him
that he felt constrained to tender his
resignation. The secretary declines to
discuss the subject in any way.
Ever since the rumor Of the probable
resignation Of Secretary Smith there
has been more or less gossip concern
ing his probable successor at the inter-
ior department and the name of John
NJ. Reynolds, the second assistant sec,
rotary of the department has been
mentioned frequently for the place.
Mr.. Reynolds has made an excellent
officer. He has had charge of the diff
cult work of review Of pension decis-
ions of the pension bureau and has
given general satisfaction. He is a ma
tive Of Pennsylvania. The new cabi-
net officer will only have a little more
than six months to serve and 1t is re-
garded as probable that Mr.. Cleveland
will prefer to fill the vacancy from the
department rather than fill the place
by appointing some one who would
be new to the work, which involves ac-
quaintance with a great variety of
matters affecting directly the public
welfare.
The Star this evening says: "Secre-
tary Smith will probably retire either
just before or Immediately after the
Indianapolis gold democratic conven-
ton. Those who are familiar with the
relations which exist between Mr..
Cleveland and his cabinet say that
there has not at any time been the
least friction between Secretary Smith
and the president, Oh between n
members of the cabinet. and that the
personal relations between the presi-
dent and Mr.. Smith are still most cor
dial"

The provisional government of the re-
lion. dated in the province of Santiago
July 13. BY this destruction a two
fold object is to be gained. The loss
of an immense cash income is expected

conversion of the island into a wilder
ness to compel her TO withdraw her

er foreign owned or not. are to be treat-
ed alike, as all pay tribute to Spain.
The destruction is laid entirely on the
need of further and complete run for
Spain of uhe only producing power Of

The proclamation further prohibits
the preparation for the coming sugar
season. either in planting, cultivation
or are of the sugar cane: forbids cane
grinding during the coming season,
and holds all planters who disobey all

visions. This ultra-Spanish part OF

stood through the rain for an hour.
Among other things Mckinley said:

Without confidence money will be
boarded and the wheels OF industry

dations Of active and successful oper-
ations. We cannot restore confidence
by a proposition to debase the curren-
cy of the government and scale down
public and private obligations. Such
a proposition strikes at the very life
of credit and business. 1t makes it
harder to get money for legitimate
and worthy enterprise by deliberately
proposing to pay back what has al

currency.
