The Alfride TribeSmen
Sweeping Through
Khyber Pass.
British Troops Are Being Hur-
ried Forward to Quell
the Revolt.
A Conflict More Serious Than the
Great Sepoy Mutiny Is
Feared.

SIMLA, INDIA, Aug. 18.-The report has
reached here that the Alfridi tribes in the
northwest, who were said few days ago
to have revolted, are marching through
Khy Der Pass and Orakzais, and another
strong tribe is threatening the town of Sa-
mana, from which the women are being
sent to places of safety. The Alfridis
have hitherto been among the most loyal
Indian tribesmen and who guarded the
Khyber Pass throughout the Afghanistan
war. The reports Of the aggressive atti-
tude of the Alfridi and Orakzais tribes
men are confirmed by later ADV ces and it
is feared by British political officers that
there will be a general rising Of the ma
tives along the whole frontier. The AL
fridi and Orakzais are the strongest tribes
on the Atghanistan frontier.
The purpose of the Alfridis is to attack
the town of Kohat, which has been partly
re-enforced, and to which point additional
re- endorsements have been sent. The OBJ
iective point of the Orakzais is the town
of Jamrood and ultimately the city of
Peshawur.
The latest intelligence received here
from the Indian frontier causes the grav-
est forebodings in London. Orders have
already been sent TO the military authori-
ties in India to concentrate all of the mill
tary resources available and push opera
tions against the rebels with the utmost
vlgor. The crisis is regarded as far more
serious than any since the Sepoy revolt
in 1857

soda- Water Tank Enpfo,son,

UK1AH, CAL, Aug. I.-An accident
which almost resulted in the death of two
prominent business men of this city oc-
CURED late last night. I. L. Cunning
ham, proprietor of the Ukiah BottIing
Works and Chief of the Ukiah Fire; De-
partment, was engaged in charging a
soda-water tank with carbonic gas at h is
place of business. He was assisted by E.
w. Wells, local merchant. For some
reason, Cunningham allowed an excess OF
gas to enter the tank, and before
either of them realized that anything was
wrong they were hurled to the ground
some distance from where they had been
ties about them. The entire north side of
the building was blown out. Both Cum
ningham and Wells were badly bruised,
but no serious effects are expected to re-
suit in either case.

Stole a Dead Mans Va,s,e.

VISALIA, CAL, Aug. Is. "Jack"
Kelly this afternoon pleaded guilty in
the Superior Court. to q charge Of bur-
glary in the first degree and was sentenced
to serve six years in the penitentiary.
Kelly's crime was committed at Goshen
on the night Of June 8. That night the
overland train from the south stopped at
Goshen longer time than usual because
w. J. Warburton, capitalist from New
York, had just died in one of the Pullm an
sleepers. In the excitement Kelly and
two other men succeeded in stealing a
small valise belonging to the deceased.
In the vailse were a mum ber of handsome
dressing articles and their attempts to
sell these led to the capture Of the thieves.
The other two will be tried for the crime.

GLEEGAIRK II THE WINNER.
Despite a Mishap the Canadian Boat
Takes the international CUP
for One -Roters.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Aug. 1S.-Glen-
cairn II, smart little twenty-foot Cana
dian boat, defeated Mono, an American
boat, in 25-mile wind, for the inter-
national cup for one-raters to- day. The
contest was most exciting, for when well
in the lead the Glencairn's mainsail tore
and the Mono overhauled her, and for a
time it seemed that the American would
win. The defenders crew, however,
mended the tear and she sailed over the
finish line ten seconds IN the lead.
The victory was all the more great by
reason Of the Glencairn going much of
the distance disab bed. The enthusiasm
was great when the winner crossed the
line, and thousands of spectators waved
flags and handkerchiels while guns
doomed for half an hour.

THE GREATHsr DANGER.
Fears That the Rebellion May Spread to
The Nativs Troops.

Fears That the Rebellion May Spread to
the Native Troops.
LONDON, Enc, Aug. 1S.-It is recog-
nized that the greatest danger on the In
dian frontier is that the religious fanati-
cism of the rebels will spread to the ranks
of the native troops, among whom are
many Afridis. It is stated semi officially
that nothing has transpired to indicate
that such danger is greater now than for
merly, but the authorities are undoubt-
edly anxious. The bulk Of the troops now
at the front are natives, and they are ex-
cellent defenders SO long as their loyalty
is not contaminated.
AS soon as it was known In Simla that
the Orakzais and Afridis had risen the
Government ordered that one battery of
British horse artillery, two squadrons of
British aussars and two com paniet of
British infantry hasten to Peshawur.
This Is obviously a precaution against
possible disaffections. The seriousness of
the situation is evident from the fact that
there are now 81, 600 troops on the north
west frontier, 1900 IN Tochi Valley, IL, 900
at Malakand, $500 at Rawal Pindi and a
reserve of 1900 at Peshawur and Kotal.
The military movements actively con-
tinue and the railways are very busy
carrying troops and supplies. 1t has been
stated that the town of Jamrood is abso-
lutely proof against any force that is not
equipped with artillery. The town of
Parachenar, in Karum Valley, held by
Ghoorkas and other native troops, seems
20 be one of the objective points of the
Oraksais, and is apparently less secure
than Jamrood.

Rec. F. y. Jones Tendered FareceIi
Reception by Citizens.
SAN MATEO, CAL, Aug. 1s.-Rev. f.
V. Jones, the retiring pastor of the Con-
gregational church, was rendered fare
well reception last evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Doone of this city.
The affair was a most enjoyable one and
the Doone residence was crowded to the
utmost. Besides the mem bers of the
Congregational church all of the towns
people were present as well as two bus
loads of people from Redwood City. Such
q gathering has never been before in this
place. The evening was spent in the most
unconventional manner. There was
plenty of good singing and speaking and
verybody had good word 10 say for the
pastor. Refreshments were served.
Mr.. Jones has just com pie ted the second
year of this charge and by unanimous
vote was called for the ensuing year. He
could not be persuaded to remain, as he Is
looking for much larger field. There go
with him the hearty good wishes of every
BODY who knew him.

The LUMBER Fl0A7E0 RER.
Charles Nelson's Schooner Eclipse
Has a Marrow Escape from
FounderiHq at Sea.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH. Aug. 49,
Eight men comprising the crew of the
two-masted schooner Eclipse can thank a
lum Der cargo for the fact they are still
in the land OF the living for had any other
commodity occupied the hold and deck of
the little craft it is highly improbable they
would be to-day subjects for inclusion in
the census list.
The Eclipse, commanded by Captain R..
Kalb, left Tacoma last Saturday bound
for San Buena Ventura, Cal, with lum-
Der. Yesterday, while in the straits off
Smiths Island, the vessel was found to be
leaking badly and the boats were prepared
for launching. When this had been COM
pleted the men went below to secure their
belongings only to find four feet of water,
which had swamped all the provisions and
soaked their kits A small steamer from
this port happened along about this time
and the waterlogged craft was towed to
Hadlock, at which place she was beached
last night.
Nothing will be done to the Eclipse un-
til Instructions have been received from
San Francisco where she is owned by
Charles Nelson. The cook of the schooner
said this morning that tie Eclipse was
leaking badly when she started from Ia
coma, and they had 10 pump her every
two hours.
The Eclipse is one of the oldest vessels
EN- ployed on the coast lum Der trade, was
launched il New York City in 1852 and
during the forty five years she has been in
existence has been almost continuously in
the lum Der carrying trade.
The sensational stories sent out from
here last May depicting the probable fate
OF the Chilean bark Antonetta as havin e
foundered al sea have been dispeIIed by
the news that she has arrived safely at
Valparaiso. A homeward- bound British
Colum bia sealer picked up in the straits
soon after severe storm part of a vessels

which the story of the loss of the vessel
was based,

an opportunity to discuss the situation

Another plan, to develop which a COM
mittee was appointed is to start num-
ber OF mines, the operators dividing the
expense of guarding them and sharing
the profits of the output. The men who
telegraphed Ratchford and Dolan for a
conference with the miners may effect a
settlement of the strike.
Judges Stowe and Collier to-day made
the injunctions against the strikers per-
manent.
PARKERSBURG, w. VA, Aug. 18.-
Large bodies OF strikers stopped men on
their way to work at the Montana mines
this morning. The situation was SO
threatening that Marshal Thompson sur
rounded the strikers with large force of
deputies and arrested 100 OF them, who
submitted peaceably, on charge of vio-
lating Judge Jackson's injunction. This
extreme step excited the strikers grestly
and bitter feeling exists. State troops
have been ordered in readiness as an out
break is feared tomorrow.
