Reports of the outrages spread quick.

excitement. The police and the guaros

The most abject terror prevails IN
the precincts of the palace.
In many parts Of the city, particu-
larly in the vicinity Of the ponce
headquarters, all the shops were
closed and it was necessary to call out
the entire police force and the militia
before anything like calm was re-
stored. The Armenian who was ar

was trying to place the bundle OF ex-
plosives near one of the main en-
frances. The crowd who saw him de-
livered by the bank officials to the po.

The police are very reticent as to the
reason for summoning the palace
guards and closing all the doors and
gateways, but it is reported that 9
similar outrage was attempted within

Seattle. WASH, Aug. 19.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent writes from
Lake Linderman as follows.
Lake Linderman, N. w. T., Aug. T.
On Lakes Linderman and Bennett are
nearly 500 people actively making pre-
parations and building boats for the
descent to the Klondyke. The Skaga-
way trail is open and the first contin-
gent reached Tagish lake on Thursday
last numbering 200 people. The trail
is nearly fifty miles long and horses
are able to pack $50 pounds from salt
water to Tagish. Nearly 1000 people
are In camp at Skagaway, and it is ex-
pected that they will reach the lakes
in ten days. That route will take near
ly all of the travel from the Dyea
route except during the winter and
spring months.
The opening Of the Skagaway road is
sure to cause travel to continue as late
as September 18th. At present the
Dyea trail Is blocked with freight and
passengers, and to complicate matters
the Chilcoot Indians have struck for
twenty cents a pound, which makes
the cost OF -four laid down at this place
$11 a sack.
Boat loads of people are leaving here
and Lake Bennett every day for the
mines.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1S-The steam
ship AlKi, which arrived in port to-
day from Skagaway and Dyea, brought
the following letter from the Associat-
ed Press:
Skagaway, Alaska, near Dyea, Aug.
4.-Twelve Canadian customs officers
have arrived here and will establish a
custom house at the portage between
Lake Bennett and Tagish lake. a point
by which all Yukon and Klondyke tray-
elers must pass IL the start from Dyea

average about $50 on the average outfit
of Yukoner. The officers are well arm
ed and will have the assistance Of the
mounted police to enforce the duties.
Further down the river will be sta
toned guards to intercept anyone who
might elude the vigilance of the ofiic-
ers. American miners who have inves-
tigated this assert that the treaty be-
tween Russia and Great Britain provid-
ed that Yukon. Porcupine and Skeena
rivers should be free for commercial
purposes and exempted from imposi-

evade the point at issue by Claiming
that the prOspectors crossing the moun-

of the Yukon do not go into the terri

but that they cross American territnrv

Silver In India.

London, Aug. 21.-The Times pub
fishes this morning a letter from an oc-
casional correspondent who asserts
that India Is still an extensive purchas-
er Of silver because ninety mine out of
every 100 natives are ignorant Of the
fact that the mints are closed. They
believe that they can exchange their
ornaments for rupees at any moment.
When the truth becomes generally
known it will be a grievous cause Of
disaffection. The correspondent adds:
The great dearth of rupees in In
dia suggests the advisability Of re-
opening the mints ana raising the i'm
port duty on silver in order to make
the value Of silver equivalent to the

The president Of the American Asso-
citation Of Librarians said, in the recent
general conference OF that body. that
the number of volumes In the libraries
Of this country had more than trebled
since 1876. The chief cause of this
great increase, he said. is a wholesome
growth Of public perception Of the
value Of good books. This fact, even
more than the willingness of the rich
to found and endow libraries, is a mat
ter for national satisfaction. Unused

THE WISDOM OF REST.
How Busy Women Can Add to Length Of
Life and Happiness.

Life and Happiness.
In these days of p-minutes-a-day
reading, or half-hour studying societies
for improving the mind, how many
women make it point to spend certain
minutes" in rest to improve their
nerves and their beauty? Good health
is of vastly more Importance than in
tellectuality, for OF what comfort to its
possessor, or to anyone else, is the most
brilliant mind which lives in weary
Or nervous body? believe that sheer
WEAKNESS causes more trouble in the
world than it ever gets blamed for. A
rested person, other things being right,
is pleasant one; while tired person,
under whatever advantageous circum-
stances, is almost sure to be cross. Many
family wrangle has started from a
few sharp words caused by over
strained nerves,
1t is natural-and perfectly right
for woman to always consider her per
sonal appearance of great Importance
That fact should cause the subject OF
rest to find favor, as those who are al
ways a little overtired never look we'll.
Their faces assume q worried, frowning
expression, and wrinkles, gray hairs,
dull eyes and sallow complexion fol-
low in natural succession.
Would yon keep your fresh complex
ion, and plumpness, and bright eyes?
Then rest, rest often, and rest in the
right way. Do not insist that change
of occupation is rest. There is no
greater delusion. 1t is nothing of the
kind. 1t simply varies the kind of ia
tigus-adds another different in loca-
ton. The best rest. the only real rest,
is found in a recumbent position. No
one can stand or sit without holding
comparatively taut some muscles, and
the tension tires them and the nerves
by sympathy. To rest, lie down on
something entirely comfortable, and
relax every nerve and muscle as much
us possible. This is not altogether easy
to do at first, but practice makes per-
feet" The rest of it is wonderful
in fact, the whole secret of it lies in
the one word: relaxation. Notice
baby's or an animals complete relax
alton while it sleeps. Five minutes at
~ tIAlC oCNSl al hlOi IL
possible-of such rest will certainly
add to the length of life aud happi-
ness,
Many people think that they cannot
afford to lie down in the daytim or if
they DO that they must improve the
time by reading. 1t is a false idea of
an economy of time. Neither the read
ing nor the resting is well done; and
so the time spent is practically wasted.
But to take little rests-lying down
does not waste time; it is time invest
ed in n way that pays big dividends.
The bright eyes, the good color, and
good temper of a rested person are to
home worth many times what the
sewing, or embroidery, or crocheting,
or even reading accomplished in the
same amount of time, could ever pos
eibly be worth .-Rose Thorn, in Ladies'
Home Journal.
