M. Debornis, Conservative, accused
M. Jaures of being the spokesman of
the 'Dreyfus syndicate, to which M.

and coward
NJ Debornis thereupon made rush
towards the tribune. but he was seized
by Socialists and series of fights en-
sued, during which M. Debornis fought
his way to the tribune and struck M :.
Jaures.
The Conservatives and Socialists
charged the platform, and the melee
became general, with fighting and
shouting on all sides. The president
of the chamber, NJ. Brisson, being pow
erless to restore order left the chamber
saying: 81 am going to consult the
procurator general
A few minutes later the order was
given to clear the tribune, amidst the
greatest excitement among the con-
tending deputies and journalists, who
were threatening and jostling each
other and almost coming to blows.
Several persons in the press gallery
exchanged blows during the uproar,
and the people in the public galleries
climbed up on the seats, shouting en-.
enlargement or abuses at the deputies.

and of stalwart appearance, carrying
himself erect and with something of a
military air. He resides at Raymond,
N. NJ.
The four rode in the procession in a
position of honor especially reserved
for them. They are all Mormons by
the way, as were most of the men who
worked at Suffers mill at the time of
the discovery of gold

Clash Threatened Between stockmen and
State Game Warden.
Denver Colo, Jan 24.-There is
prospect for serious difficulty on the
occasion of the barbecue to be given in
connection with the stoekgrowers' con-
vention January 9th. The committee
having the affair 10 charge has secured
buffalo, elk, antelope, mountain sheep
and quail for the spread.
The killing and serving of all these
animals at this time of year is con-
trary to Colorado law, and Game War
den Swan has announced in the most
positive terms that any attempt to
carry out the programme will result in
the confscation of the game and the
arrest of all those responsible in the
matter, even if he has to call out the
state militia.
The management of the barbecue, on
the other hand, declare that the game
is already in cold storage, and will be
served regardless of the game warden.
Many of the members of the COM
mittee are well known stockmen who
have regulations for determination,
and it is freely predicted that the
game warden will meet very rough
treatment Il he attempts to interfere
with the programme arranged.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-The latest
news from Alaska is that Captain Ray,
U. $. A., has taken charge of the stores
of the Alaskan Commercial company
and the North American Trading and
transportation company, proclaimed
martial law Mt Fort Yukon, and placed
its 500 inhabitants on rations, compell-
ing those who have money to pay for
them, and those who have not to work
for them. This step was rendered
necessary by the small stock of supplies
on hand, which it was feared would be
exhausted before the Yukon river
opened next spring. After taking this
action, Captain Ray sent special mes.
senger to Dawson with letter to the
commercial companies, notifying them
that lie had taken possession of their
stores. 1t is stated that the letter also
asked the commercial companies to use
their influence in securing legislation
by congress giving to the soldiers OF

Boise, Ida, Jan. 25.-In connection
with the celebration in San Francisco
of the discovery of gold in California,
the story told by Nathan Smith of this
state is interesting. Before his death,
Smith often told the story, and ex-
pressed desire that the true history
of the discovery should be published.
Smith claimed to have been with Mar

in the water. This man was named
Nimmer. His boy bothered him, show
ing pebbles that he picked from the
water. Finally the boy picked up
something, bright and went to show it

that have been coming to the war de.
partment recently indicating thai
there is no scarcity of food in the
Klondike country haze taken another
turn, and the last reports go to show
that there is already great scarcity
there, with prospects of worse to come.
The following from a private letter
written by Rev. II. S. Young, Presby
terrain Missionary, dated Dawson City
December 1, was furnished the secre
tary of war and differs from the opin.
ions generally expressed by persons
recently arriving on the coast, both a.
to food supplies and good order.
THE strike for something to eat is
already distressing. Thieving is fire,
quent, and no mans cache is safe when
he is away from it. The suffering foI
want of food is likely to be very great
before spring"

The Greatest In the World.

The newest wonder in American en-
cheering has just been inaugurated at
Haughton, Mich. viz, the Red Jacket
shaft of the Calumet and Hecla, the
greatest mining shaft in the entire
world. Tt is 4, 900 feet deep, and, COM
pared with it, the deep silver mines of
the Comstock lode in Nevada, or the
wonderful mines of Austria, worked for
many centuries past, are but shallow
pits. There are six compartments, each
equal in size to an ordinary mining
shaft, four of these being used for hoist
ing rock and lowering timber; one is
used for the ladder ways, and the sixth
and last compartment carries the wires
and pipes for telephone, light, power,
water and compressed air.
The underground workings of the
shaft are laid out with mathematical
accuracy, the undertaking course of the
copper bearing lode allowing work to
be planned thousands of feet ahead of
the mineral picks. The great pumps
which free the mine of water are oper-
ated INTERCHANGEABLE by compressed air
and electricity. The power drills which
eat the holes for the dynamite cartridges
are run by compressed air alone, and
there are more than 800 of these drills,
each doing the work of a dozen men
working day and night in the Calumet
and Hecla mine.

: A PrOVidentiaI Escape.

In 'Manitoba Memories Rev.
George Young relates an experience Of
his boyhood which, he says, formed the
turning point in his career and led him
eventually to choose the life of a mis-
sionary in the north land.
Early one stormy morning when
was boy, says Mr.. Young, I was feed
ing the cattle in the basement of STA
BILE when a terrific windstorm struck
the building and crushed it like an egg
she'll. Hearing the crash of the falling
and breaking timbers, I fell on my knees
in terror and began to pray.
In moment, as it seemed, the storm
passed and stiffness prevailed [ was
completely encompassed by the broken
tlmbers and the moWs of hay and grain
which had been stored in the upper part
of the barn. [ was in utter darkness,
too, and at first completely dazed. Find
ing myself unframed, however, | recov-
cred my senses and began to dig into the
hay to escape
After long struggle worked myself
free from the hay and stood in the midst
of the wreck.
Tt was afterward aseertained how
narrowly had escaped being crushed
to death by the falling timbers. Had
been standing at the moment must
have been killed. The space wherein 7
had knelt was about yard square and
the only place where I could have es-
capped instant death.
Much was made of my remarkable
escape, which I have always regarded
as direct interpolation of Providence,
and in consequence I have devoted my
life to the Masters service.
