Persistent rumors have been in cir
culation for some time that 1t is the
intention of Don Carlos. the Dretender
to the throne of Spain, to abdlcate his
claim in favor of his son, Don Jaime.
This action is said to be due to the
scandal arising from the recent elope-
ment of Princess Elvira. Don Carlos
daughter, with a married artist.
Though the rumors have been denied
in a half-hearted way, they are still
repeated and it is now said that Don
Carlos will give up his claim as soon
as certain matters can be arranged.
1t NAV not be generally known that
Don Carlos, duke of Madrid, is also
one of the five pretenders to the throne

Large as the existing Indian relief
system is, 1t is entirely unable TO
meet a famine period which, it is esti-
mated. viii extend over the whole of
1897. Cablegrams from the viceroy of
India have been received here telling
cheerfully of rains that have fallen in
several parts of the country, but of
what possible use are rains TO a people
with starvation staring them in the
face2 They can not sit down and wait
harvested, but it appears that the In
dian government, with Incompetent
sible faulty, has acted on the belief
that rain, and not food, was wanting.
OF course, rain viii prevent a recur-
renee of the famine, but what is wanted
now is food, and that right speedily
to save thousands upon thousands of
men, women and children from a tor
turing death.
The Indian Office authorities here,
acting on the entirely unfounded pre-
sumption that no aid was required
aside from that which would be given
by the Indian government, checked the
lord mayor of London from starting a
famine fund, but as the adviceS now at
hand show that the arrangements for
fighting the famine are entirely made
quate, the lord mayor. at the request
of Lord George Hamilton, secretary of
state for India, has opened a fund that
promises to reach a large figure.
The question of a national relief
grant will be raised in parliament.

CATTLE THIEVES.
Gang of Five Now in the County
Jail.

Spokane. Wash: Sheriff E. D. Rim
ear-has made a good record during his
two years of Office, especially for the
cattle thieves he has placed behind the
bars and for the gangs he has broken
up. AS he says in his report, there
was quite a while when the cattle
thieves had become pretty we'll scared
and either skipped the country or re-
manned very quiet-that is, those that
were not captured. But recently they
became bold again. until Sheriff Rinear
got after them and has landed five
more prisoners in the county Jail, and
declares he will have them in the pen.
These five, who have been arrested at
different times. are Mcleod, Barclow.
Thacker, Willis and Ed Thorp. The
latter was arrested for burglarizing the
Tyler store, but is wanted for cattle
stealing as well.
The sheriff believes he has some of
the worst ones this time. Barclow is
a butcher, and it is he who is charged
with butchering the stolen cattle at
so cents a head and then selling the
beef.
The gangs of cattle thieves that have
worked Spokane county have been well
organized. The members keep each
other posted, notify each other of dan
ger and of good opportunities to steal
a few head. They are generally driven
to Spokane and Immediately butchered
and sold. If one of the thieves is ar
rested there is a whole gang ready to
swear an alibi for the fellow.
The most frequented locality in the
county for cattle thieves is the sec
ton to the southwest. The country is
favorable 10 their work. 1t is hard to
find either the thieves or their plum
der.
Recently the sheriff has received no.
tice from farmers and stOckmen that
no less than 80 head of cattle have
been stolen in this county. One man a.
short time ago wrote TO the sheriff say
ing that unless the cattle thieving
could be stopped he must go out of the
stock business, for the per cent of loss
by thieves was more than he could
stand.
The Spokane county thieves have al
lies in all the adjoining counties. In
these adjoining counties there are also
stock associations and Deputy Sheriff
Goodsell says if these associations
would send to the Spokane sheriff the
stock books of their counties contain
ing all the brands in their counties it
would make it much easier to detect
the stolen property. These hooks have
been promised often enough, but they
have never been sent.

London, Jan. 9.-The commission an

In the West Indian sugar industry has
already taken the evidence of Mr..
Neville Lubbock, Mr. Alstone and other
representatives of the West Indian
traders. The leading recommendations
made by all the witnesses thus far ex-
amined has been in favor of counter
Valllng duties, to offset the bounties
paid TO the continental makers of beet
root sugar, in the event of il being
impossible to arrive at an agreement
with the bounty-paying nations to
abolish the bounties. Statistics placed
before the commission show that while
the population of the British West In
dies increases at the rate of $4,000 an
nually, the sugar exports have fallen
per cent in IA years. The French
sugar planters in Martinique and
Guadeloupe are in as bad a plight as
those in the British colonies. They,
have memOralized the French govern
ment TO the effect that the French
colonial sugar industry is on the verge
of utter ruin and demand that against

New York, Jan. 9.-Lieutenant Rob-
ert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, for

envy of Music in Brooklyn with his
new lecture, embodying his observa-
tions in his trip TO Greenland last sum-

his audience. true to life, with regard
TO the origin of the Greenland Eskimo.
Lieutenant Peary is inclined to adopt

Markham of the Royal Geographical
society of Great Britain that they are
the remnant of an ancient Siberian
tribe. the Onkilon, which was driven to
the Arctic ocean by the waves of Ia
rat invasion. passed TO the new ST.
herian Islands and thence to the
northern Greenland archipelago.
He described the Arctic Highlanders
as resembling children in disposition
and temperament, simple. kindly,
cheerful and hospitable. In their abil-
ity to make use to the fullest extent
of the few possibilities of their coun-
try they were, in his opinion. ahead
of any other aboriginal race. He could
find no trace of any religion among
the people, although holding the su-
perstitions customary among savage
races.
At the close of the lecture the stage
curtain was raised and an Eskimo viii
lage revealed with its II inhabitants,
with their dogs and sleighs moving
about in their native costumes and en-
gagged in their usual occupations. The
Eskimo huts and kayaks and the
other Arctic surroundings made a

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 9.-The British
iron ship Agapanthus, Captain Robert
J. c. Tod, of the Nippin Yusen Kaish

from Kobe, Japan. The ship sailed from
Kobe on Dec. Is, celebrating Christmas
day with full-aedged hurricane, last

noon Both booms were sent flying
across the deck from port to starboard,
unshipping heavy derrick They
were snapped in the middle and the
pieces carried into the sea.
Two great iron derricks, weighing
each over three tons, were tossed about
the deck as if made of the lightest
pine. The bulwarks and stanchions
were stove in and broken and the rails
were under water.
On New Years Day, the Agapanthus
was overtaken by second, but less
violent hurricane. During the worst of
the storm, the boatswain was struck
on the head by a staysail block. While

London, Jan. st appears that En-

regarding the Indian famine sufferers,
and that measures viii be taken to
alleviate the distress. Notwithstanding
the pun blind attitude of the Indian
government which does not. or will
not see that the situation is one Of the
worst il has ever had to confront. The
official reports from the famine dis
tricts fail TO reveal, may even he said
to conceal, the terrible perspective of
suffering which lies before the natives.

dian Office are doing what they can TO
prevent information from independent
sources from reaching the public, and.

want of foresight. But the truth is
now gradually leaking OUT, and all the
adVices received here fully confirm the
summary of the situation cabled eX-
clusively tc the United Associated
Press last week. Private and indie
pendent advices concur in stating that
thousands of persons are dying from

FATAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Two Miners Meet Death Near Bak-

Bakersfield, Cal, Jan. BY an ex-

so miles southwest of this city yester-
day afternoon Charles Lathrop and
Peter Kelley lost their lives. The men
were working at the bottom of a 150-
foot shaft with open candles, and it is
supposed that the air blower at the
mouth of the shaft was insufficient to
prevent the accumulation of gas. An
explosion followed shortly after the
men went below.
Manager j. B. Hunt, of the Sunset
company, was lowered into the shaft
and recovered the bodies of his en-
