TO CHECK BUSH FIRES
ONTARIO LEGISLATURE WILL
TAKE ACTION.
Geological Survey Official Says if This
Destruction Goes on Canada Will
Lose It's Rainfa11-Japan Has Not Re-
Vast Forests charred.

At the coming session of the Ontario,
Canada, Legislature, it is said, some steps
will be taken to bring before the House,
in a forcible manner, the destruction by
fire of the wooded lands of the provinces
that has been going on steadily for years,
and which, unless checked, will in few
years more leave the province land Que
bee as well, but not to such an extenD
stripped Of it's woodlands. DR.. Bell of the
geological survey at Ottawa last year
published a pamphlet enumerating the
vast tracts of land that have been burned
over during the past twenty years. Dr.
Bell claims that once Canada loses Its
forests, it will also lose, to large extent,
its present benefcent rainfalls, and
drought will be frequent and extensive.
The doctor states more miles of lumber
have been burned in the last 100 years
than have come under the lumbermen
axes. Certain it is that every year many
miles of splendid forests are being char
red and blackened by bush fires. Re
Gently, near Ottawa, three villages, Cas-
selman, South Indian and Cheney, were
destroyed, and 1900 people made home

up. Train No. 20, the sunset limited, had
Just left Stems Pass, n. M, near the
Arizona line, when the engineer notlced
a danger signal in front and Immediately
applied The air brakes. No sooner was
the train brought to a stop than five men
stepped out from their hiding places near
the track, all heavily armed. One Gov
cred the engineer and fireman with MS
Winchester, while the others gave their
attention to the train proper, more espe-
cially to the express car, firing their guns
in the air and otherwise frightening the
passengers. At this point the guards IN
the express car took hand in the fusll-
lade. Thirty or forty shots are SAID TO
have been fired by both sides. One Wells
Fargo guard, Jennings by name, succeed
ed in killing Robber Cullen, who was
nearest to the car and who was evidently
the leader, for as soon as the other rob-
bers noticed his body lying on the ground
they lost courage and made break for
their horses, but another bullet from Jen-
nings' Winchester evidently struck one Of
the fleeing robbers, as he was seen to fall
and was assisted out of range by his COM
rades. No express money was stolen and
none of the passengers was hurt.

COVERINGS PUNISHMENT.
Text of General A1ger's Order Repri-
handing Captain Lowering.


handing Captain lowering.
Secretary Alger has made public the
order reprimanding Capt. Lowering of the
Fourth infantry at Fort Sheridan, who
was recently court martialed for his al
legged ill-treatment of Private Hammond.
1t reads as follows: "By order Of the Pres
ident the proceedings, findings and SEN
tence in the case of Capt. Leonard A. Low
'ering, Fourth infantry, are approved. IL
is, however, disappointing that an oifense
$50 grave and as an example so far-reacn-
ing as this should have been visited with
SO light penalty. There is no question
but that Private Hammond deserved pun
ishment for his conduct, but he should
have received it in q lawful way. Inc
military laws governing the army are ex-
plicit. They prescribe the duties OF offl-
GERS and enlisted men, with the penalties
for their violation. Under them both nave
rights and obligations. When, therefore,
an officer, with the intelligence and eX-
perience with which Capt. Lowering IS
credited not only violates these laws, but
exhibits such a lack Of humanity as IS
shown in this case, he should receive
more severe sentence than mere reprl-
mand. Committing such acts degrades
the officer more than the soldier he pun
ishes and shows unfitness for the care and
command of men. Under excitement men
frequently do things which in cooler mo-
ments they recall with sorrow and regret,
but this case is aggravated by the fact
that after weeks of deliberation this Off
Ger evinces no regret for his wrongful
nets"

Guns Roar in China.

A special dispatch to London from
Shanghai says: "On Friday last Capt.
Becker, with $40 German marines, left
Kaio- Chou bay to occupy the surrounding
villages, whence they proceeded to cap

fire and the Germans replied, killing three
of the garrison, which thereupon fed IN
disorder The Chinese general in COM
mand was captured, but afterWard I'D
Grated. Several German sailors were IN
jured by stones flung by the inhabitants
of the villages. In return for this the
head men of these villages were beaten
with bamboo sticks by order of the Ger

that China is willing to pay an indemnity
Of 100000 taels about $7S5,2oO) and to
grant all the German demands, including
the temporary cession of Kaio-Chou bay

special dispatch just received from Paris,

for immediate dispatch to China.

JAPAN EXPECTS INDEMNITY.
Toru Hoshi Gives the Mikado's Posi-
ton Regarding Hawaii.

ton Regarding Hawaii.
Toru Hoshi, japanese minister to the
United States, admitted in an interview
with a representative of the Associated
Press that the object Of his mission to
Japan, from whence he has just returned,
was to ascertain the views Of his GOV
eminent on the proposed annexation or
Hawaii and to procure instructions from
the mikado relative to the course he was
expected to pursue in case the treaty shall
be ratified by Congress. Mr.. Hoshi SAID:
'The impression has gone out to the
American people that we propose to recall
the protest entered by Japan against the
acquisition of the Sandwich Islands by
the United States Government. This is
misleading and untrue. Japan has always
maintained amicable relations with the
United States, and it is not our purpose
now to take any steps that would lead to
breach of mutual good will, but at the
same time japan will stand firmly in the
maintenance of it's rights and privileges
acquired under treaty with the Hawaiian
Government. If the United States decid-
ed to annex Hawaii, we hope to be able
to enforce our demands for indemnity for
the violation of treaty rights in the ex-
pulsion Of japanese immigrants from the
island and their exclusion from the rights
acquired under our treaty"

Religious Excitement.

Religious prosecutions in Quakertown,
a small village near Norwich, Conn.,,
have reached such a point that serious
climax may result. A month ago the
members of the old families decided that
the present youth and maiden were being
allowed too much levity, and it was to
meet this want Of seriousness that re-
Igious awakening was decided upon. All
went we'll for time. Solomon Crouch,
carpenter, who was the leader, is
Quaker by birth, but not being a native
of Quakertown the young folks looked
upon him as an outsider, and some of
them distrusted him. He claims to have
special revelations from God, and what
is revealed to him he breaches to the peo-
pie. 1t is reported that Crouch went to
the home of Lucy Whipple, wife of Allen
Whipple. She told the revivalist she did
not believe in his alleged revelations. AT
this the revivalist is alleged to have be-
come greatly enraged and struck her IN
the face with a knife. The next morning
the Whipple house was burned to the
ground, while the neighbors looked on.
The following night the older Quakers
met in council. The entire neighborhood
gathered at the outskirts Of the village,
and decided to run Crouch out. Armed
with shotguns, it is alleged, they sur
rounded Watrous' house and called for
Crouch to appear. He and his followers
made stanch stand, and, it is said, not
withstanding that charges of buckshot
were exchanged, nobody was seriously
hurt. During lull in the fight Crouch
and Watrous are reported to have escaped
under the cover of darkness.

FRANCE ACCEPTS SITUATION.
Great Britain Does Not Expect Trouble
on Upper Nile.

Great Britain Does Not Expect Trouble
on Upper Nile.
The st. James Gazette Of London an
nounces authoritatively that the British
Government does not expect trouble with
France regarding the upper Nile regions,
France having agreed to accept the sit
uation. Advices received at Lagos, West
Africa, from the interior say the French
troops had FIVE engagements with the ma
tives before effectively occupying Nikki,
the capital Of Borgu. The king of the
country fed to the bush. Both France
and Great Britain claim that the Borgu
territory is within the sphere of their in
fluence. Great Britain claims the whole
country Of Borgu under the Anglo-French
convention of 1890. Captain Lugard, for
Great Britain outdistanced Commander
Decoeur in making treaty with the
King Of Borgu, but the French hold that
such treaty is null and void from the
fact that France has effectively occupied
Dahomey, and is therefore entitled to its
Hinterland, in accordance with the spirit
and letter of the treaty Of Berlin.

DEATH IN A SNOWSLIDE.
Two Miners Swept Into Eternity in
Montana.

Two Miners Swept Into Eternity in
Montana.
Word has been received at Helena,
Mont, that two miners, John Hassett
and Frank Weber, were killed in snow
slide at the Hecla mine, ten miles from
Glendale. The men had been working
near the top of the mountain and started
down the slope toward the Hecla. One
of them dislodged small quantity of ice
and snow and that started a regular ava
lanche, which carried both men down the
mountain. The accident was witnessed
by other miners and search was at once
made for the bodies and they were recov-
cred the next night. The country around
Hecla has for years been feared on ac-
count Of it's snowslides, from which many
deaths have resulted.
