LAND 90 STATES
BIAS Been offered to Booth-Tucker-
Will Start in Colorado.

New York, Sept.1O.-The World prints
the following:
Commander Booth-Tucker will start
tomorrow for California to inaugurate
his first colony under the auspices of
the Salvation Army.
The commander in an interview said
Francisco had raised $25, 900 for the
organization of a colony from the poor
of that city on the lines proposed by
him. 1t was stipulated that the colony
should be planted in California as it
was not deemed desirable to reduce the
population of the golden state.
Il have finished my business in San
Francisco" said the commander, Il
shall go to Denver to make arrange
ments for the first colony to go from
New York.
1.-The consul, Mrs. Booth-Tucker will
meet me in the Colorado city and there
we will be in consultation with capi-
talists and railroad men. We have
been offered land in 20 states but the
spot chosen will probably be in south
ern Colorado.
After we have taken up the land and
made other preparations we will return
to New York about October 2. Here
we will capitalize the colonies, for we
intend to have many of them and l
have assurances that the money will be
forthcoming as a desirable business
venture.
1.-The first colony will cost $16O, 600. We
have many applicants from would-be
colonists- and best of all, some of the
applicants have a little money"

CANADIAN SAW LOGS.
Officials Will Teke No Steps to Pre-
vent Their Expectation.

Saginaw, Sept. 10.-Walter S. Eddy,
leading lumber manufacturer, return
ed today from trip through Canada.
Mr.. Eddy was assured by leading lum-
ber operators and others in Toronto and
Ottawa, that the Canadian government t
will take absolutely no steps toward
preventing export of saw logs. He
said:
1.-The Canadian government realizes
that a course of that kind would be
practical confiscation of property, and
they would not dare go that far. They
would be hurting their own best inter-
estS. They must market their lumber
and sell it to us, with the practical un-
derstanding that no prohibitive tariff
be placed on it"
Mr. Eddy denounces ex-Gov. Rich as
a ''cringing sycophant," because Mr..
Rich recently headed a party of Mich
igan lumbermen having interests in
Canada, on a mission to argue against
prohibition of the exporting of logs be-
fore the Ontario officials.

REGIMENTS SLAUGHTERED
Fanatics Use Dynamite on Brazilian
Troops With Fatal Results.

New York, Sept. 10-A special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
Your correspondent in Rio Janeiro
announces that word has reached that
city to the effect that whole companies
o brazilian troops were destroyed in
the last engagement with the fanatics
at Canudes.
The rebels used dynamite with great
effect when the government troops ap-
preached to attack and a great num-
Der of soldiers were killed by the ex-
ploSions.
The fanatics now occupy impregna-
bic positions at CanudeS and the gov
ernment troops are helpless. Gen. Os-
car who is in command of the troops
will suggest to the minister of war of
Brazil that Canudes be besieged and
the fanatics be driven out by hunger.
He says it would be foolish to attack
them as they have placed scores of dyn-
amite bombs in the ground around their
positions which will be exploded in
that event, resulting in great loss to
his army.
