FOOD FOR INDIA
English Ohiciais Receive Famine Supplies
at Calcutta without Enthusiasm.


Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 4.-Captain AL.
exander McDougall. general manager
of the American Steel Barge company.
is In receipt of a letter from Captain L.
Laverg, master Of the wbalebacls
steamship City Of Everett, which sailed
last summer from San Francisco for
Calcutta, with cargo of food for the
famine sufferers of India
The letter is dated at Calcutta. Sep
ember IS. In it Captain Laverg charges
that English officials at Calcutta re-
ceived the famine supplies without en-
thusiasm. The pilot came aboard OF
the City of Everett when she approach
ed Calcutta, and told the captain that
he would have done better to have
brought II cargo of rapid-firing guns
with which to kill off the native In
dian population instead of food Cap
tain LaYerg says that the City of Ev-
erett was treated shamefully at Cal
cutta by the government. and that the
treatment seemed especially out of
place. owing TO the presence of the
vessel as representing the generosity
and humanity of the American people.
There was nothing on which claim
for duty could be exacted that was not
enforced and the officials finding. after
ransacking the papers of the ship. that
the officials at Singapore had exempt
ed the ship from some light duties,
promptly enforced them. The claim
was made that the governor at Singa-
pore had no authority to exempt the
ship from paying any dues Before
leaving Calcutta the English officials
even insisted on the payment of dues
for the ships stores

There is very little to fear at pres
snt from the competition of Japan in
Manufacture. She has destroyed much
of her advantage by adopting policy
which was dictated from England.
What with her vast standing army,
and with an increase of taxation such
as is instituted by the present admin

same inducements for the investments
OF capital in large factory systems
Besides, the difference OF exchange is
now in favor of China 10 the extent Of

empire is likely TO remain on the sill

manufacturing is largely in China.
''The effect of Chinese competition

Washington, Nov. At is probable
that a special agent of the interior de-
partment will shortly be sent to the
Uncompahgre reservation to make a
personal investigation of the recent
conflict between the Indians and game
wardens. Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs Jones says that he will make a
suggestion to the secretary of the inte-
rior upon the latter's return to Wash
ington, that trusted employee of the
department be detailed to make an in
vestigation and report.
Al the information on this matter
received at the Indian office up to this
time has been from agency clerks, and
through the war depar tment. Owing
to the fact that Captain Beck, the
agent, is in Washington, he has had no
accurate knowledge of the recent
trouble, and for that reason Commits
sioner Jones thinks a special agent
should make an investigation.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Brazirs President Murderously Assaulted
by q Soldier.


by Soldier.
Rio,Janeiro, Nov. IA soldier of the
Tenth battalion, which constitutes
part of the local garrison, attempted
to shoot President Moras with pistol.
The president was just landing at the
marine arsenal after visiting the
steamer on which General Barbota,
minister of marine, has returned from
Bahia.
The bystanders frustrated the at
tempt, but Colonel Normes, the presi-
dents nephew, was slightly wounded
in disarming the soldier. General
Marcada Bettin Court, minister of war,
then interfered and was himself
stabbed. The wound was so serious
that he died soon afterwards. The at
tack has caused the greatest agitation
in political circles.

OF this city last night celebrated the
tenth anniversary of the execution of
their comrades in Chicago in public
meeting in Clarendon hall. There were

italism, which, he said, congratulated
itself that the social question had been
quelched and that peace and order pre-
vailed He wanted TO tell the political
bandits that the anarchists were not
gathered to mourn or to shed tears,
NSt to sing a song of triumph" for the
future was not far off.
The spirit of the revolution must
and win endure until the spirit of ty-
ranny shall be crushed-until the
triumph of justice and equity and hui
manity and peace will prevail" said
the speaker.
He called the government cowboy
government-with apologies to the
cowboys-and ticISled his hearers by
saying only one bomb was fred in the
Haymarket, but it did excellent exc
cution.
Charles W. Mowbray, Hermann
Schmitt and August Lutt were the
speakers who addressed the meeting.
