from Majof-General James, ordering Com
pany D of the National Guard 10 proceed
at once to Colusa and aid the Sheriff in
guarding the jail against the expected
attack of mob which it is feared will at

response to this order Captain Voos, with

night upon the Jail by an armed mob. and
asked the assistance of companies from

county Jail at Cousa and act under the
orders of the Sheriff, providing Acting
Governor Jeter should so direct. General
James himself recommended this step.
MIR. Jeter at once wired his approval and

1t Is Believed That the Garrison
Succeeded in Making Terms
Before Surrendering.

PEsHAWUR. INDIA, Aug. 26.-Fort
Luni- Kotalon, situated at the extreme
end OF the Khy Der Pass and garrisoned by
800 men Of the Khyber Rifles. was at
tackled and burned by the AfrIdis on
Tuesday. The famous Khy Der Pass, lead
ing from Afghanis1an into India has now
fallen completely into the hands of the
insnrgent trihesmen.
SIMLA, INDIA, Aug. 26 The Afridis
aimed for the Lunl-Kotalon Tuesday.
The garrison held its own until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning when, after sharp
fighting in which the native commando
of the garrison was killed while gallantlv
leading his men, the enemy gained an en-.
trance.
The fight was continued for two hours
inside the fertilization by the Khy Der
Rifles in the towers at the angles of the
fort, which were strongly built of stone.
The Afrdis lost heavily before they
finally captured the place. They cap
tured quantity of supplies, and then
burned the structure. The fact that no
news has been received of the fate OF the
garrison leads to the belief here that they
succeeded in making terms before they
surrendered.
The news is confirmed here that the
Orakhis have risen and cut teiegraphic
communication with all garrisons and
posts of Kurram Valley.
SJMLA, INDIA. Aug. 26-The British

durbar Consultation of the chiefs) on

Elgin, the Indian Viceroy, on the COM
plicity of the Indian tribes on the from
tier, and then read his own reply to it, fol-
lowing this with solemn declaration,
attested by an oath, that he would always
maintain friendly relations with the Brit.
ish Government.
LONDON, ENG, Aug. 26.-The import
ant news that tie Ameer has sworn tidel-
ity to Great Britain has reassuring effect
both in India and here as tending to re-
move any doubt as to his LOYALTY.
Inquiries at the India Office late last
night elected the information that the
question of sending troops from England
remains open. as it is believed that the
forces already on the frontier will prove
sufficient to conduct the operations.
The Standard this morning takes the
Government 10 task for having left Khy.
Der Pass without British troops.

The foregoing dispatch has caused a

pensive and cumbersome naval ordnance
now guarding the coast will be thing Of
the past. Two Chicago young men, Will

No electrical current or mechanical de-

entirely upon the water pressure, and the
projectile can be accurately regulated so as

eight pounds of the explosive being re-

sufficient to manufacture the projectile,
while the torpedoes now in use cost hun

fail in their purpose. In an experiment

depth of fifteen feet shook the pier to its

and that the demand is not only steady
but vigorous. Not only are indications
for period of unusual pros perity noticed
in the West but all over the country.
II am agreeably surprised By the show
ing of the reports from our test offices all
over the country" said Colonel Clowry
to-day. "My division xtends west OF
Buffalo and Fittsburg to the Pacific Coast,
and includes all the territory north of the
OHIO River and west of the Mississippi
between the Mexican border and Van
couver. In this vast territory there
are such commercial centers as Cleye-
land, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis,
ST. Louis, Minnea polls, st. Paul, Kansa S
City with her immense cattle market),
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Calves
ton and Houston. Reports from these
cities show that there has been a steady
increase right along for the last few
months. This has been more marked DUR
Ing the six weeks just passed. The in
crease is not confined to any PAL ticular
section, but extends all over tie Western
country and is generally distr bufed, so
that it cannot be said to result from any
local cause but to be a result of general
improvement. This looks very much like
the return of prosperity and revival oil
business.
Mr.. Parker said: ''The West as a whole
shows lair increase in business, but we
could stand a great deal more. of course.
Especially has this increase been notice
able this month. There has been great
revival in speculative business, which has
been dormant so long. Indications are
that this increase will be steady, and We
hope to do large business this fall.

dust. Ash is an old Pacific Coast gam
bier. The sporting fraternity OF Wash
ington, California and Oregon is acquaint-
ed with him. In boom days, when town
lois were worth $50 and sold for $40 600, he
conducted game in the Doom cities OF this
State. City legislation drove him north
several years ago. Circle City saw him
first Last winter with Curly Munroe,
another gam bier who took up dozen va
riety actresses, he made money by running
dance hall and beer garden at that place.
News came from Dawson City OF great
strikes. Munroe sold out and joined the
rush. Ash followed. At Dawson City he
opened general gambling-h house, stood
in with the mounted police, if stories are
true, secured all gambling rights and gold
poured into his Golfers as it never poured
into those of another gam bier. Ash made
a fortune; got tired of life in an uncivil-
lied part of the world. sold out in June
last to Golden and Stevens for $50 900, and
to-day he walks the streets OF Seattle as
interests on Bonanza and Bt Dorado
creeks. Ash has this to say of the golden
cargo of the coming Portland:
II do not believe that the Portland will
bring over $1,000,000 Three quarters or
less would be nearer. Miners are not
shipping their money out. but need it as
fast as they lake ii out to extend their
operations. For instance l have eight
properties located on Bonanza, FL Dora 10,
Bunker and Dominion creeks and in Vic
toria Gulch. In round figures l have in
vested 100000 where 1 have taken out but
$4,000. l explain this 10 show you that
money will not be sent out at this time.
OF course, everybody will bring out
enough to pay his expenses"
Joe Lowe, who assisted Ash in his
gam bling games, has interests which will
foot up $50, 600. Lowe is the Mayor of Cir
Gle City by choice" He explains that
the citizens of the town asked him to. ac-
cept and he consented. He posed as
Ash's father at Dawson City. Ash says
Lowe brings cut SIS, 900 and has excellent

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 26.-The mag
nifcent story which newspaperdom of the
world has anticipated in the arrival of the
goId-laden steamer Portland is being
somewhat shaded by the constant arrival
OF letters from brave men who have MADE
the perious journey by foot from Dawson
City to Juneau, and several schooners
which during the fortnight have arrived
in this port from St. Michael.
At , O clock this afternoon the little
schooner Fred E. Sander, thirty-two days
out from ST. Michael, came into the local
harbor, and with her came a story that
the Portland cannot surpass and will have
great difficulty in equaling. To-day, for
the first time since July Is, the daIe the
steamer Portland startled the civilized
worli by steaming in from the far off
Arctic shores with more than a ton OF
gold, the newspapers are in a position TO
tei the exact condition OF affairs In the
grea gold fields of the north as it is tod
by SIX miners who have come direct from
81 Michael, each of whom brought down
a fortune.
The arrivals on the Sander and the
I amount they brought down follow:
James McNamee, juneau, $40, 600;
Charles Vest, Portland, $1,000 and interests
in the gold country which will make him

new-djscovery creek, known as Hunker
Creek, worth $4,000.
Here are few of the American miners

richest claims on the Klondike. 1t pays
$4,000 TO the box. Their cleanup last
year on surface dirt was $4,000 At

men.
This is in substance the story brought
on the Sander concerning the riches OF
the Klondike. The Sanders passengers
assert that IT, ose who look for tons of gold
on the Portland are certainly doomed to
great disappointment. While the Klon-
dixie is almost weekly turning out new

Growth of American Libraries.

One Of the quiet national conventions
of the year is that Of the American Lii
brary Association, but it represents an
interest of high Importance to the
country. At the recent annual meet
ing in Philadelphia d membership of
200 was reported, and the facts pre-
scented during the sessions were highly
interesting. Since the year 1876, when
the association was formed, the num-
Der of volume in the public libraries
of the United States has increased from
u, 900 900 to over 10000, 900. In some
of the states nearly every town has ac-
CURED a public library. often with an
admirable permanent home of its own,
contributed by some public-sprited
citizen. In New England especially
this is favorite form of benefac lion.
Most of the larger cities are pressing
with library enterprises. Boston has
opened an immense Institution, and
several libraries in New York City
have been com oined to form one of
commanding Importance. St. Louis
recently voted on the question of a new
public library building, and gave it a
heavy majority, though not large
enough to accomplish the object at
the first trial at the polls.
