Bombay, June ia dispatch from
Simla, the residence of the Indian gov
eminent officials during the heated
periods of the year. announces serious
trouble on the northern frontier and
the massacre of a number of British Of
ficers and native soldiers in the govern
ment employ. From the particulars
obtainable at present it seems that two
guns belonging TO Bombay's mounted
battery, escorted by 300 men belonging
to the First regiment of Sikhas and the
First Punjab infantry. were treacher-
ously attacked in the Tochi valley by
large force of hostile natives.
The first reports said that Colonel
Bunny, two officers and % privates had
been killed. and that three officers and
% men had been wounded. In addition
number of the mules and horses are
reported killed.
Indications are that the affair is more
than a conflict with warlike natives,
and that the notorious Mullah of Pie
windah is at the bottom of the trouble.
The latest advices are that political
officer, Mr.. Gee. was visiting Shfrani
with an escort of troops when he was
attacked at Mama by vastly superior
forces. The British troops were COM
PEELED to retreat, and were followed
several miles by overwhelming num-
bers of the enemy. The fighting was
desperate. All the British officers were
severely wounded. Captain Browne. of
the First Sikhas, a son of the late Sir
James Browne, and Lieutenant Crook
shank, of the Royal artillery, were
killed and Surgeon Higginson, Lieuten
ant Higginson, of the First Sikhas, and
Lieutenant Seaton-Browne, of the Pun
iab infantry, were wounded.
The second dispatch does not men
ton the death of Colonel Bunny. but
from the fact that it says that Colonel
Gray from Miranshah has taken over
the command of the British force en-
gagged. it is inferred that Colonel Bunny
is also among the dead as at first an
nounced.
Tochi valley lies north of Gumal and
on the road to Ghuzni and Wazirislam.
1t had been controlled by the British
since the delimitatlon of the Hindoo-
Afghan frontier, but the tribes there
have always been turbulent, and fear
is felt lest the other tribes rise against
the British.
The mullah of Powindah is well
known to the British-Indian authori-
ties. He is a notorious fanatical priest
and has always been hostile TO British
influence. Owing TO an attempt which
the muIlah- recently made 10 stir up a
rebellion, he was expelled from British
territory This caused him TO be de-
serted by his own people. and he has
since lived in Afghanistan, and is I'M
derstood to have been actively plotting
against the British. He took part in
the attack upon the British camp at
Wano in November. 1884,
While Colonel A H. Turner. the
British commander. was engaged in
1894 in delimiting the Indoo-Afghan
frontier, his camp at Wano was at
tackled on November Sd Of that year
by a large force of Waziri tribesmen.
The British lost about 20 private SOL
diers and 20 camp followers killed be-
fore the Waziri's were repulsed. the
latter leaving over $50 dead on the
field.

so far as lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked OF, when Mr.. Falkner. a clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs. joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy, Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
a visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado, Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their slxtieth mile
post. ard his wife, Ann, is q fitting compan-
Ion, one of those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same nelghborhood, OF the
West Riding. OF York, England, in 1920. the
husband a few weeks his wite's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway Of life together. In 1SlS they eln,-
grated to this country and settled in Derby,
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr., Moore, who was
highly respected by his %neighbors, was elect.
ed q member Of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been o constant reader OF the New
York Tribune, and Yves an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptedly 70. eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
| stated that her health commenced failing
EN-, she scarcely knew the meaning OF the
name sickness in relation 10 herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment OF
! any kind. barring that which she drew upon

TULEY SAYS 1T IS VOID.

Chicago Vehicle Tax Ordinance Tenn
porarily Knocked Out by a Judge.
CHICAGO, Aug. ~9.-Judge Tuley has
decided the new city ordinance estab.
fishing a vehicle tax to be void. The
ordinance permitted the city to collect
81 a year license from each bicycle
owner and for other vehicles proportion
ately. The ordinance was passed for
the ostensible purpose Of raising a per-
manent street repairing fund. The new
law aroused much opposition, especially
among wheelmen. An injunction suit
was brought against the city and an en-.
joining bill was sustained in Judge
Tuley's decision.
The court held that the city had nc
right to license bicycles but only III &C.
cupation, and could not impose a license
upon specific property when not used in
business OF in ar occupation.
Counsel for the city took an appeal
and the case will be heard in higher

NO DANGER OF CIVIL WAR
Why Uncle Sans Big Family Will Hence
forward Live In Peace.


There is no longer any danger Of o
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was war between the
south and the rest Of the nation because
their differences were removable in no
other way. There was no prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. 1t was to be apprehended,
Oh the contrary, that the very processes
Of growth would inevitably lead to the
extension Of slavery and the perpetual
ton of radical social and economic con-
trasts and a~ntagonisms between state
and state. between region and region.
a heroic remedy was the only remedy.
Slavery being removed, the south is
now. Joined with the west-joined with
it il q stage of Development, as a region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
industries, without a multifaricus trade,
without those s1btle extended nerves
which com with all round economic
development, and which make men
kocnly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it We're, into a
single community. But these are lines
Of difference which will be etfaced by
,ncra growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make DO boundaries fer
armies to cross.
Tide water Virginia was thus sepa.
rated once from her own population
within the Allegheny valleys = held
two jealous sections within her own
limits. Massachusetts once knew the
sharp divergences of interest and design
which separated the coast settlements
upon the bay from the restless pioneers
who had taken up the free lands of her
own western counties. North Carolina
was once a comfortable and Indifferent
least to the uneasy ''west" that was
to become Tennessee. Virginia once
seemed old and effete to Kentucky.
The great west" once lay upon the
Ohio, but has since disappeared there,
OVERLAND by the changes which have
carried the conditions Of the least" tc
the great lakes and beyond.
There has never yet been a time in
our history when we were without al
least" and a"west," but the novel day
when we shall be without them is now
in sight. AS the country grows it will
inevitably grow homogeneous. Popula'
ton will not henceforth spread, but
compact, for there is no new land be.
tween the seas where the "west" car
find another lodgment. The conditions
which prevail in the ever widening
least" will sooner or later cover the
continent, and we shall at last be one
people.

5000 Chrysanthpmums,

Can any one conceive of anything more brilliant than 5000 or 6,000 chrysanthe nuns in bloom in one greenhouse at one time. Yet such can be seen now at the greenhouse of MT Cottle, who is giving particular attention to the cultivation of this flower this season, and until he began to pick a few days ago had nearly 5000 blossoms. The beautiful native of the realm of the mikado is doing nicely under cultiya- tion, and the big yellows and whites in endless variety have never been larger or more beautiful. Some Sf the more pronounced shades are also coming in- to blow rapidly. The pinks this year have run into the whites more than usual.
 MT. Cottle has 37,0OO square feet of houses under glass, and the biggest rose house in the state, 627 feet long and 26 feet wide, an eighth of mile from end to end. and so long that although one has a clear view he could not re- cognize a friend at the further end. Here are 4,000 rose plants, furnishing a triple picking each day.-Waterbury American.

 Mir. and Mrs. George Pratt, w. E. Melbourne and daughter of this city were in New Haven Wednesday and saw the Negus with it's company of argonauts Klondikeward bound leave Belle dock at ii o'clock on her voyage around the Horn to Copper river in Alaska. The Negus was lowed from the dock to just outside the lighthouse by the tug William. During the fore noon. before the vessel left the dock, a party of relatives and friends of the voyagers gathered in the cabin to bid farewell. At il o'clock the visitors were put ashore.
 Mr. Pratt is the son-in-law of Cap tain Mcclure Young Melbourne of this city is in the party. One of the most pathetic sights witnessed was when the friends of the argonauts dis embarked from the Negus and went upon the William to be brought back to the city.
