REVOLUTION BREWING IN INDIA.
Seditious Leaflets Urging an Uprising of
Natives In Circulation.

A special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat, from Tacoma. Wash, says:
Oriental papers received today state
that grave crisis prevails Throughout
India. 1t results from the manlfesta-
ton of a hostile native feeling over the
recent jubilee celebration. The latest
news at Hong Koug from India is 10
the effect that the alarm is spreading
and it is believed the government will
haze to take active steps to cOunteract
the present condition of affairs.
Seditious lee fiets have been freely
circulated, written in both English and
the vernacular, protesting In strong
language against celebrations OF The
diamond jubilee, because of famine,
pestil nee and poverty, which have
overwhelmed the natives. These leaf
cts appeal t. all classes, and ask.
will no one lift a finger to check the
excuses of British tyiants who are
riding rough-shod over 100000, 600 of
Indian people?" When prepara-
tions for the jubilee were
in progress magnificent
scale, 70 protest was raised in India,
it was believed that the outcome of
Victorian celebrations would be in
creased activities on large scale for
the relief of India's starving millions.
These ideas are now known to have
been delusions, ard the feeling against
the British has risen rapidly since de-
tailed accounts have been received in
the Indian Empire of the magnitude of
the festivities in England, and the
lavish expenditure of money on them.
1t is believed in some quarters that
40 itators, by means of the pam DhletS
mentioned, are lying the foundation
for an Indian uprising against British
rule. A dispatch 10 The London DAILY
Mail" from Bombay states that the ln-
dian government has addressed
warning to the Ameer of Afghsnistan n,
who is more than suspected OF having
melted the Mob ammedans of Irdia to
revolt against British rule
Another dispatch from Bombay says
that in view of the threatening situa-
ton along the Afghan frontier troops

BILE The railways are busily engaged
in the transpor;a' ion of the troops and

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands We're very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his ca Sc very soon. After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

CUBANS PLAN COUP.
To Strike Simultaneous Blows at Three Big
Cities.

Cltless
There is an undercurrs Mt of great
activity among the Cuban lnsurs ents
and their supporters in New York and
Florida, says The New York Journal.
All signs point 10 a mighty blow for in
dependence in the near future.
The Cubans in the field have, within
the last few week, sent the most
encouraging reports to tie local
patriots. Many of these have not been
| made pu olic for the very good reason
that a strategic move is about to be
made which would not benefit by
publicity.
The DE- ath of Spa ms great leade-,
Carovas del Castillo, will very likely
hasten events. A letter received in this
city from colonel in the Cubs n army
who is now in Florida POINTS to this
prob bility, and shows clearly the
state OF affairs. This officer is an
American, and went to Cuoa for the
first time year ago. He was rapid y
advanced for experience and bravery.
In part, the letter reads:
| nave been TO Cuba twice and am
going there again. L may be able 10

ma, Matanzas and Cieufuegos will be

the island RACED from one end to the
other, and the blood of the
martyrs all call for nothing but free
dom.
1t seems to me that the time is pass
ed for resolutions of sympathy to be
EXPRESSED, and that if The American
people are going to do anything, now
is the time for it. q seems to be the
idea of our politicians at Washington
and elsewhere that no nation should
be allowed to govern themselves until
they understood how TO do it. L should
like to know how long they would
learn it under such man as Weyler.
1t reminds me somewhat of the adage
of the man who decided that he would
never 60 into the water until he learn
ed to swim. The island is lost t. the
Spaniards. and when the fall of '97
ceases to be, then / think that the lOle
star will soon be foa ting not only over
the whole island, but on top Of the
MORO Castle itself.
Relative to the assassination of the
prime minister, there is no doubt in
my mind but it has been the cause of
great deal OF ham. We are not ma
ton of assassjns, but are fighting
war OF dependence, and therefore We
can have no sympathy with assassins
and murderers who really are beasts
of prey stalking about and who should
be disposed of at the very first oppor-
tunity. OF course, in some instances,

Popularity of Sound,
A singular incident that tt

A singular incident that took place
on the Central Vermont railroad some
time ago shows how many conditions
require to be observed in determining
the existence OF very simple TACT with
scientific accuracy. One of the division
erintendents of that road received
repeated complaints that at certain
crossing the prescribed signals from
the locomotives were omitted The
engineers were reproved and warned,
although they all protested that they
had never neglected their duty. FL
nally, since, of course, the matter
might prove serious one at any time
for the railroad, the superintendent
determined to get his own evidence,
and privily stationing himself in suit
able position, he saw locomotive ap-
proach and pass without whisiling or
ringing the bell. On that locomotive,
however, there happened to be one OF
the railroad detectives, who had made
up his mind to look into the matter for
himself, and who actually blew the
whistle and rang the bell with his own
hands. When The superintendent re-
turned to write the discharge of the
guilty er giueer, he was confronted with
the evidence of the detective. To end
the matter they both went to the spot
and found that from a certain point
they could see the puff of steam at the
whistle and the bell in motion, but
heard no sound from either. An ex-
pert was called in who recommended
the removal of piece of forest, which
being done, the signals became audible
at the crossing. Professor Henry long
ago showed that sounds may be heard
by person at distance when they are
inaudible to one nearer, and it is evil
IDENTIFY necessary for railroad officers to
ascertain not only that signals are
properly given, but that they are &C
tually audible where they should be.
