DOGS QUEER HATRED.
men-objects to Soldiers, but
Likes Policemen

Animals, like human beings have been
known to exhibit strange antipathies to-
ward certain persons and things, dogs,
perhaps, more so than any other of our
fourfooted friends.
That famous canine, Oriel Bill, of OK
ford. was for a time such violent hater
of postmen that it was not safe for any
uniformed letter carrier to approach the
Mttre, where Oriel Bill held undisputed
sway. Accordingly. arrangements had to
be made for all missives to be left at an
ADJOINING house by the postmen in order
to save their feelings-physical as well as
mental-and the dog from venting his Gu
rious aversion upon them.
The same precaution had to be taken in
the case of another but less famous
caLine. Until a postman was foolish
enough to throw stone at this animal.
without the least proyocation, it was on
called at the house. After that. however,
furious hatred Of her majesty's postal
servants took possession Of this previously
amiable cur, and wnen it had severely bit
ten one Of the postmen they all refused
house.
The owner Of the dog complained to The
British postoftice authorities. says Tit-Bits,
but the latter supported their subordinates

the end the complainant arranged for his

dislike for soldiers. What are the why and
wherefore of this feeling toward our GAL
liant redcoats it is impossible to say, but
the sight of one has the same effect on
this eccentric canine as a red rag has on q
bull. The consequence is that the dog has
TO be kept severely under restraint, so
that soldiers can come and go without the
risk of losing portion of their anatomy
In the process. What makes his antipathy
toward them all the more remarkable is
the fact that the animal shows a decided
partiality for policemen.
A terrier belonging to a friend of the
writer will run mile at the sight of a

than it is now its owner deluged the dog
with siphon of soda water, and ever
since it has exhibited a mortal dread of a
of that unexpected bath is evidently re-
spoEsible for this extraordinary aversion.

With the Indians To-day Is
to Decide IL.

WALKER, MINI. Oct. 13.-General
Bacon has fully completed his plans for a
campaign against the Indians. provided he
finds that one will be necessary. In case
the council with the Indians does not go
the right way, the Fourth and Seventh
regiments will be sent for.
To-day's conference between the hostile
and friendly Indians preliminary to to-mor-
rows council with Indian Commissioner
Jones, indicate that the hostiles will lay
down their arms and that q settlement
will be reached.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 13.-The
Journals staff correspondent at Walker,
Mimi, wires: Matters are rapidly moving
to climax and the question OF peace or
war will probably be definitely settled
within forty-eight hours. To-day the In
dians are holding powwow in the woods
back of Leech Lake agency, at which it is
expected they will decided whether or not
to give up the men wanted by Marshal
OConnor. Upon this hangs the issue of
the whole matter. Their decision will be
communicated TO another conference with
the government officials at the agency to-
morrow. II they refuse, unrelenting war
Will be waged by General Bacon. who is
getting very tired of powwows, but who
nevertheless. is leaving the present conduct
of affairs entirely to Commissioner Jones.

annihilate them will be no easy task, even

well armed. They are dead shots and
they know every inch of a very difficult
country. Experienced men declare that
not enough troops can be landed in Walk
er to capture the hostiles. The dense jun
gle of the woods is penetrated by trails
known only to the Indians. who would be
able to use them for ambush and escape
The only feasible plan seems to be to
wait till the water courses freeze over and
then make winter campaign, with hun
ger and famine as allies. General Bacon
has made his plans for the campaign that
may be necessary very carefully and while
he realizes the obstacles in the way. he is
confident they are not insurmountable"

MAY INDlCT JOHN KENNEDY.
Take Up the Chicago & Alton
Train Robbery Case.

The police are trying TO kill two birds
with one stone. They say that they have
succeeded in obtaining new evidence against
John Kennedy duplicating him in the hold
up of the Chicago & Alton train at the
Blue cut on December q, 1896. They say
that W. ". Lowe, the confessor in the
Missouri Pacific robbery near Leeds, has
said that he was implicated with Kennedy
in that affair. There is strong probable
ity that charge will be made against him
in the federal court of delaying the mail.
The penalty for this is from five to fifty
years in the penitentiary.
1t is stated that Lowe has made a con-
fession of this, also. In it is stated that the
evidence of James Flynn was correct in
every particular. Lowe says that they
made a good haul out of this holdup. but
that he spent nearly all of his share in
plugging" the jury He says that he was
present every day of the trial.
As soon as the investigation. in regard
TO the train robbery is finished by the
against the quail hunter" of numbering
Emma Schumacher. The contented look
upon Chief Hayes face comes from the
other evidence against Kennedy on this
charge of murder. and this evidence came
from W. W. Lowe, the confessor.
1t seems from the statement of Lowe,
that he has been mixed up in nearly all of
the jobs that have been attributed TO Ken
Eedy, and that he knows just exactly how
and under what circumstances Emma
Schumacher lost her life on the Sth day of
December last Just what Lowe has told
Is a matter that no one knows but Chief
Hayes. He will not tell. William Handy,
the principal witness against Kennedy in
the case, was in consultation with the
chief several hours yesterday, and was
then taken before the grand jury for an
hour. 1t is probable that the case against
Kennedy was taken up between wit
nesses" by that body. At any rate, it is
understood from authority that Lowe has
made important revelations that will go
far toward connecting Kennedy with the
murder of Emma Schumacher.
The police say that there have been just
four men connected with all of the large
''jobs" that have happened in the city ano
vicinity during the last few years, and. in
the language of Chief Hayes, 'if four men
that know were strung up there would be
no more train robberies in this city,

DONE TO HOLD GOLD.
Bank of England Raises the Discount
Rate From to 4 Per


LONDON, Oct. 13.-The rise in the dis
count rate of the Bank of England from 3
to 4 per cent to-day momentarily scared
the markets. People jumped to the con-
clusion that the banks action was due to
the war scare and to Lord Rosebery' 8
spe ech Calm reflection, however has
shown that it was only a measure of pre-
caution. The persistent buying of gold by
the United States and Germany has pre-
vented the bank from securing any: and
as n consequence the banks reserve is
lower than it has been since April last,
when per cent rate was adopted.
According to the best informed opinion.
the rise in the rate is purely financial
measure without any connection with or
hint from the government of the delicate
political situation
Moreover looking to the actual large
trade Indebtedness to the United States.
the bank directors were apprehensive that
low rates here might facilitate a heavy
drain of gold to America later in the sea-
SON when the American crops come more
freely into the market.

New York Special
Charles Brockwitz, worth 100000. was
sent to Biackwell's island to-day as a pro-
fessional mendicant. He came to this coun-
try from Russia about twenty years. ago.
He found begging more profitable than

To incite pity he deliberately destroyed
his eyesight by gazing open eyed directly
at the sun. About two years ago Brock
witz was arraigned in a police court,
charged with begging. He was sent to the
island when the magistrate heard the truth
about him. Whining, fearful. still posing
in his professional character. Brockwitz
calmly drew a bulky bundle from his rags
and passed it to his uncle. The police in

$500

PORTO RICO GARRISON.
General Brooke Is of the Opinion
That 1000 Men Will BE
EnOnCh.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-General Brooke
has been directed by the war department
to consider the subject of a permanent gar
rison for the island of Porto Rico. With
the troops now on the island and those en-
route exclusive of those on the island who
have been ordered home. General Brooke's
command consists of about 5000 men. He is
1000 will be ample as a garrison for the
island.
Whether regiments of regulars will be
sent to Porto Rico will depend upon the
recommendation of General Brooke. At all
events it is not likely, in the opinion of the
war department officials, that any regulars
will be ordered to the island before the first
of next year.
