The defendant claims that when the

that the horse was all right. and he re-

chased the horse. Subsequently he found
that the horse was not sound but that
there was 1t quarter crack in one of his

was of less value than the agreed price

SO far as the fire insurance COM

the responsibility from the company in

Police Regulations in Church.

There are two important rules III

ment of the members. One is that tht
men shall not sit down while on duty
Another is that policemen must weaI
lheir helmets at all times. While these
rules were made to be obeyed. there
are times and places where propriety
demands that they be broken. The
officers are supposed to use discretion
IN following the two rules named. DC
casionally a policeman is met with

rule. This was illustrated the other

MKINLEY TALKS IN TWO STATES.
President Crosses Indiana and Ohio on
His Return Trip.

CINCINNATI, O.-One continuous
ovation marked the passage of Presi-
dent Mckinley over the states of In
diana and Ohio. Defying the wind
and rain of most disagreeable Octo-
Der day, the citizens of these states
congregated in great numbers at every
station along the line, and never were
they disappointed, for the president
graciously appeared at every point
where the crowds awaited his coming
to speak few words.
Perhaps the mos5 imposing demon
stration of the day was at Indianapo-
lis, where the streets through which
the president was driven to the state
house were jammed with cheering
people. Here, on the steps of the
state capitol, almost within the shadow
of the statue of Thomas A. Hendricks,
the president delivered one of the
most striking and eloquent addresses
of his long western tour. In the course
of it he paid grateful tribute to the
memory of Hendrics, and referred al
so to ex-President Harrison, both of
which references were received by the
people with deafening applause.
At Connorsville, Ind, 2-nonths-
old baby was handed over the railing
of the rear platform into the arms of
Secretary Wilson, who presented it to
the president, his youngest namesake,
William Mckinley.

DELAY IN CUBAN EVACUATION
Task Imposed Upon the Spaniards
Beyond Their Ability.
CANNOT LEAVE IN TIME SPECIFIED.
Any Sense Abated the Pressure Being
Brought to Bear Upon the Dons to
Leave the Island

HINGToN.-(Special. 1T is now
of Cuba will be delayed beyond the
period originally fixed by. the admins
tration. This will follow entirely
without reference to anything that
has occurred in Paris before the peace
commission.
The war department has about salts
fed itself that the task imposed upon
Spanish authorities, namely, the re-
moval and transportation to q great
distance by sea of about 100, 900 sol
diers, sick and well, with their ac-
coutrements, was beyond the ability
of the Spaniards.
The magnitude of the task is shown
by the fact that the great Trans -Atlan-
tic Steamship lines crossing the Allan
tic from New York, all combined, in
prosperous seasons, could transport
only about so, 900 persons in one year
less than one-half the number that
the Spanish officials with their poor
facilities were expected to transport in
about ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for De-
cember l.
1t is not to be understood from this
that the American military commits
sion is in any sense abating the pres
sure it has brought to bear upon the
Spanish military commissioners to Sc
cure the evacuation of the island and
the REIMBURSEMENT of sovereignty Of
Spain. On the contrary, they have re-
doubled their efforts to secure these
objects, but are not disposed to insist
upon the performance of impossible
tasks, and their demands will be large
ly shaped by their knowledge, but the
Spaniards are acting in perfectly good
faith in their efforts to carry out the
terms of the protocol.

A WONDERFUL SIGHT.
The Tree Of Ten Thousand Images in Thibet

OF all the wonderful sights reported
by the Jesuit missionaries, Hue and
Goblet, during their explorations of
Thibet by far the strangest is what
they have to say of the Tree of Ten
Thousand Images. They had heard
about this wonderful tree long before
they reached the locality of its growth
and, as they approached the spot, theil
curiosity regarding it increased 3
thousand fold.
Here is their narrative of the result
of their examination of the tree:
ut will here be naturally expected
that we say something about this tree
itself. Does it exist? Have we seen
| it? Has it any peculiar attributes
What about its marvellous leaves?
"Yes this tree does exist. At the
foot of the mountains on which the
Lamasery stands, and not far fron
the principal Buddhist temple, is 6
great square inclosure, formed by
brick walls. Upon entering this We
were able to examine at leisure the
marvellous tree, some of the branches
of which had already manifested
| themselves above the wall.
Our eyes were first directed with
earnest curiosity to the leaves, and We
were filled with an absolute conster
nation of astonishment at finding that
in point of fact, there were upon eacf
Of the leaves well-formed Thibetar
characters. all of a green color, some
darker, some lighter than the leaf 1t
self Our first impression was sus
picion of fraud on the part of the
Lamas; but, after a minute eXamin
alton of every detail, we could not dis
cover the least deception. The char
acters all appeared to us portions OF
the leaf itself. equally with its vein.
and nerves; the position was not the
same in all; in one leaf they would be
at the top Of the leaf; in another, IL
the middle; in a third, at the base
or at the side; the younger leaves rep
resented the characters only in 8
partial state of formation.
THE bark of the tree and its
branches, which resemble that of the
plane tree, are also covered with these
characters. When you remove a piect
Of the old bark, the young bark under

characters in terminating state, and
what Is very singular, these new char
acters are not infrequently differen
from those which they replace. W.
examined everything with the closes
attention, in order to detect som'
traces of trickery, but We could dis
Germ nothing of the sort"
The missionaries, Hue and Goblet
might have remained in Thibet al
long as they wished had it not beer
for the interference Of the Chinese
ambassador there. For some reason
this individual took dislike to them
and ultimately caused them to depart
The Lamas We're willing that they
should remain. but it appeared to th'
missionaries that their presence nigh

withdrew, taking with them some o
the first facts ever gathered in tha
mysterious land.

CHINESE REBELS BEHEADED.
Ten Thousand People Witness the De-
capitation.

According to the latest advices by
mail from China, eight subordinate
leaders of the Kwang-ski rebellion
have been beheaded at Wuchow. The
heads were carried in baskets through
the principal streets as warning spec
tacle, amidst the laughter and jeers
of men, women and children. Ten
thousand people witnessed the decapl-
tation and made it gala day. Little
children copied their parents, who
joked at the dying rebels a second
before the ak fell When it was all
over the children played among the
headless, bleeding corpses and made
sport with the black, disfigured heads.
Mandarins and headsmen improvised
sort of May-pole, and the heads OF
the rebels were placed on top in tiers,
the children dancing around them.
The governor advised the mandarins
to make the beheading as festive as
possible, so as to inspire disgust with
the rebels in the hearts of the people.
A banquet was afterward held.
