SIR WILLIAM L0CKHART.
Commander in Chief of the Brit
ish Army in India.
He Has Had Not oniy IA Varied Mill
tary Experience, But Has Won
Many Victories in the
Diplomatic Game.

One of the most important military
appointments under the crown of Eng
and is that of the comma nder in chief
Of the army of India. Not only does it
require for this position, says the
Sketch, a man with the widest expe-
rience as a soldier, but he must also
be a practical statesman and have an
extensive personal knowledge of the
country over which he is to watch. I'm
like most of his brother commanders
elsewhere, he must supervise native SOL
1iers as well as the faithful and docile
Tommy Atkins, and instead of compar-
atively small areas of territory he is
responsible for the control of a huge
empire. The four great army corps are
scattered through enormous provinces
which stretch from Chitral on the north
TO the Indian ocean on the south, and
from Chaman on the west to the Burmo-
Chinese border on the east; and he and
this gigantic force must be in a con-
slant state of readiness for sudden out
breaks in. any direction.
To this important post Sir William
Lockhart has been appointed, and it
would have been difficult to get bet
ter man. He is one of the most distin-
guished and experienced soldiers in In
aia. and he has started with a memora-
BILE record, which only few now on
the active list can excel even outside
that country.
Born in 1871. a son of Rev. L. Lock-
hart. of Wicketstow, and Milton Lock
hart. Lanarkshire. he is a nephew of
the biographer of Scott. He entered the
army in 1858. and in the same year. at
the age of Il. found himself serving in
Cudh with the Fifth fusileers. In the
Bhootan campaign of 1s64-66 as adj
iutant of the Fourteenth Bengal Ian
GERS. a most responsible post in the field
for boy of % years of age, he re-
ceived the medal ard clasp. He served
in the second Afghan war of 1S79-S0,
first as road commandant in the Khy-
Der and afterward as assistant quarter

SMALL BLAZE.

AT $50 O'Clock last night the fire de-
partment was called out to the Wright
bank building, where a slight blaze had
started in the hallway leading up TO
the Harmony club, but the aid of the
fire boys was not needed as the blaze
was only in the carpet and was eXtin-
guished with a couple of buckets OF
water.
The blaze is thought to have origin,
ated from carelessly thrown cigarette
or cigar.
The fire department did good work in
reaching the place, arriving by the
time persons on the place could seize
the buckets and dash water on the
fire.

master general to Sir f. Roberts. He
was present at the operations round
Kabul, including that never-to-be-for,
gotten investment of Sherpur; was
mentioned in dispatches and received
the C. B. and a medal with clasp. Sub
sequently he acted as chief of the staff
with Sir Donald Stewards force, and at
the termination of the war was APP
pointed to the Intelligence branch" at
Simla.
In 1885 he was selected by Lord Duff
ferin to conduct a political mission to
Gilgit, Chitral and the neighboring
states. In this enterprise Col. Lock-
hart proved himself as able politician
among orientals as a soldier, and he
was highly complimented by the vice
roy on his success. Col. Lockhart next
took charge of the Office of quartermas-
ter general in India, but was soon aft
erward deputed to take command of a
brigade in Burmah in the operations
connected with and succeeding the over
throw and eXpatriation of King The
baw and the annexation of his terri
tory TO the British empire. He was
mentioned in dispatches, received the
thanks of the government of India, an
other war decoration and the X. c. b.
He subsequently, became assistant mil
ftary secretary to the duke of Cam
bridge, and later was appointed to the
command of the Punjab frontier force,
during his tenure of which he con-
Quoted two expeditions against the Mi
ranzais on the northwestern frontier,
again receiving the thanks of his gov
ernment, those of the commander in
chief and promotion to major general
for distinguished service in the field.
In 1892 he commanded a successful
punitive expedition against the Isazai
tribe on the same frontier, and in 1884,
IS be led large force against the Wa
ziris in consequence of their treacher-
Gus attack upon. Wano under the lead
ership of Mulla Powindah. He now
commands, politically and militarily,
the troops operating beyond the Pesha-
war and Kohat borders. He knows the
whole frontier. Sir William has been
twice married, and his present wife is
the daughter of Capt. William Eccles, of
the Coldstream guards.

THE CHARTER OF THE BANK OF

A bill for-the renewal of the charter

Among the other principal features
of the bill are the payment to the
State of an annual sum calculated at
the productive note circulation, but
with minimum of 100000 francs or
about 100000. No Senator or deputy

Proposed New Territory to be Set on In
Alaska - According to the Suggested
boundaries IL Would be Very Rich One
Albeit Somewhat Inhospitable In Climate
and Remote from Civilization.
UNALAsKA, Sept. 30. VIA SAN FRAN
CISCO, Oct. 10. --Should the proposed
territory of Lincoln be created by the
division of Alaska it will have as its
southeastern boundary Mt. st. Elias.
From that point the eastern bound
airy will run directly to the
Arctic. which ocean will form the
northern boundary. The western
boundary will likely run down the
coast line below St. Michaels to the top
of the divide between the Yukon and
KusISokwim rivers. The boundary on
the south will follow the sixty-second
parallel east TO the Copper river, where
1t will cut down to Mt. st. Elias.
Should the division occur, and the
boundary lines mentioned prevail,
Alaska proper would then include the
Aleutian islands, the coaling stations
of Dutch Harbor and UnalaslSa and the
balance of the Alaskan peninsula, the
island of Unga and its quartz mines,
Kodiak island, Kani peninsula, and the
placer mines of Cook inlet, Prince
William sound, and the placer mines
along the Copper river, the towns of
WraDgcl, Sitta juneau, Dyea, Ska
quay and the passes on the overland
route TO the Yukon.
Within the new territory would be
the rich placers of the Yukon as far
east rs the international boundary
line. 1t would also include the numer-
Gus settlements ard trading posts from
St Michael to Chcle City, aggregaSing
apopuation at present of over 5000
whites aud 5000 natives.

THE TRUSS FELL.
"The Dangers Of a Great City
Cruelty Exemplified.
Three Presons Killed and n Large Number
Injured by the Falling of the Main
Truss Supporting the Roof ofa
Cincinnati Opera House.

CINCINNATI, Oct l6.-"The Dangers
of II Great City," on the stage Of Robin
sons opera house, was cut short in its
performance by tragic realization of
the actual danger of a great city.
The house was fairly well filled, not
crowded. A little before $3.50 last
night lady in the audience says she
heard a creeping noise which con-
tinued for five minutes before the
catastrophe. She gave it little atten-
ton, thinking it was a part of the per-
formance. Presently the plastering
began to fall, in small particles first,
but enough TO alarm some of the timid
or cautious, who retired.
A little later the plastering began TO
shower down in great chunks. 1t came
from that.part of the ceiling which sup
ported the dome. There was rush
from the gallery, which was not very
well filled. The balcony was soon
emptied. Those in the dress circle re-
tired as promptly as possible and,
strange to say, without an apparent
panic.
The crowding of these to the door
obstructed the passage of the people
from the parquette, which accounts in
a measure for the number of casualties.
Nobody expected at that moment any
other danger than from the falling
plas tering. Suddenly, and with a great
crash, the great central truss OF the
ceiling, so feet long and 80 feet
wide came plunging down. The ends
of it struck on the two gallery wings
and doubled it up in the center, send
ing it down into the parquette with a
great Settlement OF joists and timbers.
Nothing on the stage was harmed. OF
course there were means of the in
jured and, as often happens, loudest
from those least hurt.
The news spread rapidly and there
was rush of patrol wagons and OF
firemen TO the scene. The salvage
corps with its wagon was first on the
ground and~it was followed by all the
police patrol wagons, which carried the
injured to the Cincinnati hospital.
The list at the hospital showed three
dead, five dangerously, if not fatally,
wounded and 20 more or less seriously
injured.
In addition to these large number,
probably % or 80, were so slightly in
| jured as to be able TO walk home. OF
the dangerously injured at the hospi-
tai several will require amputation,
yet every one is refusing to submit to
the operation. A score of surgeons
volunteered their assistance to the
hospital corps. A Sufficient number
was accepted.
The scene in front of the hospital
door was a sad one. Hundreds of peo-
pie gathered there clamoring for the
names of the injured. An attendant
stood at the door with a list of those
brought to the hospital, and answered
these anxious Inquiries Many names
were inquired for that were not in the
hospital list.

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH.
That Is the Motto of the Cuban Patriots
Not Seeking for Annexation.


LONDON, Oct. 16.-Col. Joseph t..
Zayas, who says he is accredited by the
Palma Cuban junta of New York as
minister plenipotentiarY to Great
Britain from the Cuban republic, in an
interview, is quoted as expressing the
belief that the war in Cuba will not
last another year. Spain, says Col.
Zayas, cannot finance the campaign,
and should have accepted the insur-
gents offer Of $3.50, 600 900 for the IS
land under the guarantee of the United
States. Col. Zayas does not anticipate
assistance from the United States. All
that the Cubans desire, he says, is fair
play and the recognition of belliger-
ent rights, SO that they can secure the
necessary supplies for their troops.
In conclusion, Col. Zayas is quoted
Us saying: -.
There is no truth whatever in the
opinion expressed in England that
Cubans desire annexation to the
United States. We are fighting for
independence, and do not banker after
annexation, which will not be the out
come OF the struggle, There is not the
least likelihood of the Cubans accept
ing autonomy. Independence or death
is our motto.
