Fighting at All Points.
MAD MULLAH LEADS TRIBESMEN
Report That the insurgents Line is
Over a Mile Long.
SITUATION MOST SERIOUS

SIMLA, August 23.-A large force of
Afridis has just been reported to be adj
vancing down the Khyber pass, and the So
called Mad Mullah, or fanatlcal priest
who is melting the natives of that terri
tory against the British, is said to have
collected the Mohmands for an attack upon
Michni and Shabkadr.
The Royal Irish Regiment and regiment
OF native infantry, with a battery of
mountain artillery, have been ordered to
Kohat.
Fighting is reported to be proceeding at
Ai-Musjed between the Afridis and the
British garrison at that place.
LONDON. August 23.-An official dis
patch from Peshawur announces that the
Afridis attacked Ali-Musjed this morning,
and adds that they were attacking Fort
Mande at 1890 am. today. The enemies
line Is mile and half long
Another body Of Afridis, the dispatch
continues. is moving toward Kadama
All the Afridis are said to have Joined in
the uprising.
The news contained in this official dis
patch is most important, probably mean
ing a protracted campaign and desperate
hghting. A general revolt of the Afridis
was what the Indian government feared
the most, and it now seems to have taken
pace.

BICYCLE REGULATIONS.
Suggestions Made to the Comm Mission
ers by an Avenue Rider.


ers by an Avenue Rider.
Apropos of the invitation of the Commits
sioners to have the citizens discuss and
criticise the pending new regulations con-
corning the bicycles. IAN Avenue Rider
submits the following today:
"You lately caused tho publication of a
request for suggestion and criticism of a
draft of some proposed bicycle regulations,
one of which contains the provision that
Pennsylvania avenue shall continue to be
considered as two streets separated by the
car tracks.
Il would most respectfully suggest a
further consideration of this clause, for the
following reasons. Local traffic, by which
/ mean such as is arriving. departing, or
standing at the curb, occupies the curb
side Of each of the two streets. particularly
of the north one. hence long-distance traf-
fic must seek the center of the avenue,
alongside the car tracks There q bicyclist
has his right large number of cars
coming in the opposite direction, while on
his left are the bicyclists, who are using
the same bicycle path alongside the track,
defiance of the law, but In conformity with
general custom. These two elements of
confusion are in addition to that which is
natural to much-traveled thoroughfare,
and, III my opinion, add to the danger of
collisions or delays.
IF the rule could be applied to the ave-
nue. which Is in operation upon the other
streets of the city. such as 9th and 14:h,
and upon practically all the other streets
and roads Of the United States. bicycles
would travel beside the track of the car
bound in the same direction as themselves
passing a car at close quarters would be
comparatively Fare and not dangerous.
owing to the nearly equal speed of the
car and the6wheel in the same direction,
and there WOULD be no conft,siua between
those who age trying to obey the law and
those who are either ignorant of It or dis
regard It's peculiar provisions, of whom
there are manyM There would be din addi-
ton to the more or less confused local
traffic along the, curb at each side, Two
main streams Of vehicles, separated ty a
line midway between the two car tracks.
instead of as atb present six, two of cars
and four of Dthen vehicles"

MURDERERs MAY ESCAPE.
Prosecuting the Slayers of George G.
Skelly ut Durango, Mexico.

Prosecuting the Slayers of George G.
Skelly at Durango, Mexico.
G. E. GedZie, United States consul at Du-
range, Mexico has written the State De-
partment an account of the murder in that
city of George G. Sicily, an American. July
Z. by NJ E. Raines and S. T Davidson.
NJ. E. Raines was apprehended. placed in
prison and has since had his preliminary
trial. G. T. Davidson escaped to the United
States and was arrested at San Antonio
Tex, August 3.
Consul Gedzie says: at appears from the
statement from some who saw the affair
that the shots fired by Raines were those
causing the death of Mr.. Skelly. How
ever, there are conflicting statements and
an effort at last is being made to show tha.
Davidson was the one who actually COM
mitted the crime. thus allowing Raines to
be liberated. while Davidson. being out Of
the republic, will also escape punishment"
Davidson being an American citizen can
not, it is understood be extradted. The
apparent cause of the murder was the fact
that Mr.. Shelly had taken an active part
in attempting to prevent a weak-minded
person named C. w. Britain, also an
American citizen from transferring prop
erty, valued at $500, to NJ f.. Raines
without any cash consideration or legal Sc
curity. Mr.. Sicily was attacked with
drawn guns and almost instantly killed.

clined to talk concerning the appointment
of postmaster for Brooklyn, and would
neither affirm nor deny the rumor that he
had offered the place to Representative
F. L. Wilson From other sources 1t Is
said that the President will name Mr.
Wilson prior to September 10. and that
the latter Is even now preparing TO re-
sign his Sc II in the House.

ENCOURAGING TO FARMERS.

EN-Representative Picker Tells of
Conditions in the Northwest.
Ex-Representative Picker of South pa
kota Is in the city, having just Travelled
extensively in the northwest. Mr.. Picker
told Star reporter that the tone of bus
mess in the northwest, and in South Da
keta especially. is much improved He SAID
that dollar wheat was proving a great en-
couragement to the farmers of mis- state.
The great corn crop in Nebraska and Iowa,
be said. was creating a lively demand for
cattle to feed. and cattle in his state are
selling at high prices.
Il have just purchased some CATTLE
said Mr.. Pickler, land the prices 1 had to
pay were a good deal higher than was
comfortable to give.
There is also a lively demand for lum-
ber." he continued. Il was told before
coming east that the demand for lumber
this year is greater than for the seven
years previous. This is partly accountable
by the fact that last winter was an I'M
usually hard one, and the farmers are
adding to their barn accommodations to
be prepared for low temperature in the
future. Collections in South Dakota are
good, and everything tends to show that
real prosperity is returning to our people
