NEW LINE OF BOATS.

VIII Ply Between san Francisco
an Orient.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-The Japan
csc steamship Hupeh, carrying a heavy
freight consigned to San Francisco and
Eastern points, is expected to arrive in
this port about June 10. She is under
charter to the Canadian Pacific Railroad
and is the pioneer, if her voyage across
the Pacific turns out profitable, of new
line of steamships between China and
Japan and San Francisco.
The Hupeh has crossed the Pacific be-
fore, but this Will be the first time she
has been in San francisco. She is a large
boat, with enormous freight carrying
capacity. She is registered Al with d ton
mage OF nearly 5000. Her cargo consists
principally of tea, but she is bringing
/ 900 tons of general merchandise for the
that the tea shipments this season Will
he very heavy, and in order that their
boat may get as much benefit from them
as possible the Canadian Pacific officials
have made arrangements for discharg-
ing her very rapidly, loading her up with
the return freight, much of which is al
ready awaiting her, and getting her to
sea again by June 18th.
The Canadian Pacific Company has for
liShment of a line of steamers between
this port and the Orient. 1t has char,
tered the Hupeh for the purpose of test
ing the value of the transDacific trade
with San Francisco as the home port.
If the experiment is successful it is eN-
pected that the bulk of the tea shipments
of the future will come through this city.

SMALL POX ABOARD.
Belgic Flies the Yellow Flag at

Belgic Flies the yellow Flag at
san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The steam
er Belgic came into port yesterday from
Chinese and Japanese ports with the yell
low flag at her masthead. One of her
storage passengers had developed a case
varioloid a few days after leaving Hong
kong, and he was taken ashore at Kobe
and placed in quarantine. The steamer
brought a clean bill of health aside from
that, but as a matter of prudence her
officers flew the flag announcing conta~
gion on board when the harbor was
reached. The quarantine officers, how
ever, found no special cause for alarm,
and the cabin passengers were allowed to
land. The steamer was sent to the quar-
anJine station, and after being fumigated
she was sent to her dock. The steerage
passengers will be held at Angel Island
for several days.
The steamer, since she left this port on
the voyage she has just finished, has been
in hard luck. She broke her thrust shaft
on steaming into Hongkong, and did other
damage to her machinery that necessiat-
ed extensive repairs. Two days before
she was to sail for this port on her re-
turn trip. and when she was nearly load
ed. fire broks out in the forward hold.
The hold had to be flooded to eXtinguish
the flames, and in consequence the vessel
was delayed day in leaving. Then the
small poX broke out on board and the
yellow flag was flying at every port she
called at after landing the sick Chinese.

Camas prairie. Gov. Steuenberg has
wired to the Bannock agent and has
asked the Interior Department for as
sistance."
This means that the awful annual
ceremony of the Ghost Dance has be-
gun and that until it dies down in the
cold weather there will be anxiety in
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and all along
the lines of the reservation.
BANNOCKS THE INDIAN 400"
The Bannocks are a peculiar tribe or
Indians. Before they became wards OF
the government they were imprisoned
upon their Idaho and Nevada reserva-
tions. they were the richest Indians in
the world. The Apaches were poor
wild men compared to the fat, smooth,
long-legged Bannocks, and the Sho-
shones were "workingmen" to them.
The Bannocks were the hardest OF
all to subdue They fought right to
the death and died fighting. And that
is the reason there is so many OF them
now.
The Banrocks number not over 600
bucks, and these live quietly upon the
reservation, drawing their pensions
and leading the lives Of gentlemen.
They do not till the soil, for no Ban
mock was ever known to work. But
when the government money is ex-
hausted they go out and shoot. They
throw away the carcasses Of the game,
but skin them and sell the hides for
good money" at Fort Hall, the head
quarters of the reservation.
AS a general thing the Bannocks
are quiet. Their principal trouble is
with the whites Of Idaho and Utah.
One of the clauses in their contract
with the government is that they
"shall be allowed to hunt game for
sustenance upon the unoccupied lands
and forests, provided there is no trou-
BILE with the whites"
This virtually gives the Big Indian
the privilege Of hunting al. the year
round. without regard to the game
laws. And this the whites bitterly
resent. They see the choicest elk and
moose being picked off by the Indians,
while they dare not lift as much as
shotgun until the right season arrives.
Thus there is always "Bannockl trou-
BILE" in Idaho.
The trouble which now threatens
and which has caused the government
to send out troops is the annual
Ghost Dance. During the day it is the
Dance of the Sun. But at night it, be-
comes the Dance Of the Ghosts.
Under the escort of one of the off
GERS stationed near the reservation
made trip into the heart Of the Ban
mock country. They live upon the big
reservation in wigwams that are IL

A DIVIDEND FROM THE MOON.
(The end)

A business errand took me to one of
the West Side streets of New York
City, in the Tenderloin district. 1t
was just after sunset and was walk
ing westward. Two or three rods
ahead Of me was a sprucely dressed
colored man. l noticed that he slow
ed up alittle in his walk and was
evidently searching for something in
MS various pockets. / heard his grunt
OF satisfaction as he found the object
OF his search. Then his arm was ex-
tended and slightly raised, and l saw
that ne held a silver quarter between
his thumb and forefnger. That gave
me a clew and l glanced at the sky
ahead of me. There hung the silver
sickle" of the new moon.
AS | overlook the man l caught his
eye by a turn of my head. l smiled
and he grinned.
Hello, old Virginia" said I.
You're a shoutin', boss" was lis
reply.
That was a good straight New York
answer, but we understood each other
fully. Had either of us been asked
for an explanation, the same reply
would have been given, by quoting an
adage well known to the old darkies of
the State of Virginia. SHOW your
money to the new moon and it will in
crease" All the same, 1 have no
doubt that this chap lost his quarter in
a game of craps within an hour of our
in spite Of the glimpse which
the new moon had of it.-New York

Near Boise, Idaho, July 19.-It is ex-
actly twenty-one years since the news
of the massacre of Custer went travel
ing across the country. Custer prob
ably fell in June, 1876, but it took four
weeks before the tidings of the awful
fate of the Seventh could be verliled
and authoritative word sent TO the
War Department.
Every year, since that event, begin
ming in June and lasting two months,
there has been trouble among the In
dams. Not always deep enough to be
called an outbreak" but such as to
cause uneasiness among the troops that
have charge of the Bannocks and the
Shoshones, who now cause the prln-
ciple disagreements. The Indian trou-
Bile can be counted on every summer
not only among those who slew Gus
ter, but among all tribes.
This year the following dispatch was
sent to the War Office:
Three hundred Indians, mostly Ban
:noeks. are holding s ghost dance IN the
