ed home to fetch their arms and then
returned to avenge those who had
fallen, a full-fiedged and sanguinary
conflict ensuing. Victory was already
assured to the English troops, and the
matter might have ended there, when
suddenly the English man-Of-war in
the harbOr opened fire upon the town,
which was soon, to a great extent, in
flames, as a result of the bOmbardment.
The latter had been brought about by
a message, which some clerk of the
consulate seems to have sent off on
his own responsibility, to the effect
that the MOhammedan population of
the city were massacring the English
troops.
It may be remembered that Crete, al

illegal protectorate of the foreign pow
ers. These undertook after the Turk
ish-Green war OF see that the sultan in
troduced certain reforms in the island,
in the shape of autonomy, and of plac-
ing Christians and MOhammedans on
an equal footing in the eyes of the law
The sultan, however, has taken the
ground that it is no business of the for
eign powers to interfere in the matter
and has declined to do anything as long
as they remain there. None of the pow
erS in question think it worth while go
ing to war with Turkey about the Gre
tanS, and yet they are themselves bound
for the sake of their own prestige to
compel the sultan to comply with their
demands. They have stationed a GER
tain number of ships around the is
land, occupying the leading coast towns
with small bodies of troops under the
plea of preventing the Mohammedans
and Christians from cutting one an
others thrOats and of preserving an
even balance between the two parties
until the sultan chooses to place the
government of the island on a proper
footing. France has taken charge OF a
seaport, Austria of another, Russia OF
a third, and Great Britain of Gambia.

LIGHTNING'S QUEER FREAK
Mrs. W. P. Symns of Atchison, At

Atchison, Sept. Mrs. w. P. SyInns
had a strange experience with lightning
last night. While the storm was raging,
Mrs. Symns stepped out to a small out
building to get a jar of milk. When
she returned to the house, the family
noticed that there was something wrong
with Mrs Symns She rushed about
doing houseWork and it was with
great difficulty that she was persuaded
to lie down.
About o'clock this morning, Mrs.
Symns regained her senses, and when
DR.. Shelly called on her. he found moth
ing the matter except that her eyes
were very much blood shot. 1t is sup
posed that while Mrs. Symns was not
by gases in the air Lightning was
playing wildly in that vicinity at the
time. Mrs. Symns remembers nothing
from the time she left the house until
she recovered at 2 o'clock this morn

Annoyance Felt at London.
London, Sept. 1T is difficult to
describe the annoyance which has been
created in government circles by the
news received here of the sanguinary
encounter in the streets of Gambia be-
tween the English troops and the Mo-
hammedan population The matter
could not have occurred at a more in
opportune moment and is calculated to
considerably disturb the project under
discussion during the last ten days for
a species of universal peace. For, take
the matter as one will, the course of
England in the matter is distinctly an
act of war against Turkey. Both this
fact, as well as the circumstances which
led up to it. are calculated to do no end
of harm to Great Britain throughout
the Mohammedan world, especially
among the so, 600, 600 Mussulman sub
jects of Queen Victoria in India
The trouble was caused by a most
impolitic and injudicious attempt on
the part of the English consul general
to force upon the Turkish governor.
and upon the Mohammedan population,
native Christians as revenue officials
and tax collectors. The consequence
was that when it became known at
Gambia that the English had resolved
to pass all the revenue offices in the
city and provinces into the hands of
the Christians, the MOhammedanS COM
menced by making a species of unarm-
ed demonstrations in front of the Eng
lish headquarters at Gambia by way of
protest.
This demonstration was taken anniss
or wrongly understood by the English
sentinel on duty. They turned the
guard out and proceeded to fire on the
unarmed mob. The latter at once rush

decision of the interstate commerce
commission, in a letter addressed by
T. C. Shaughnessy, vice president, to

the commission handled the matter in
view of the fact that the Canadian Pa
cific railway is a foreign corporation"
concluded:
However, in this case, as in all prev
iOus cases, involving United States
traffic, the company accepts without
question and will be governed by the
decision of the commission, taking care,
of course, that its rates will be on the
basis of those that prevail by any
other routes, and tariffs covering traffic
affected by the decision to take effect
on the 25th instant, restoring ante
bellUm rates. as far as practicable in
existing conditions, will be filed by this

TO DROP THE CASES.
District Attorney Lambert About to
Dismiss Cases Against Ex-
press Agents.

The cases brought by United States
District Attorney Lambert against ex-
press agents in Topeka, Emporia and
Leavenworth for violation of the new
revenue law, will probably be dismissed
Mr.. Lambert is now waiting for advice
from the Attorney General of the Unit
ed States.
The cases are set for hearing before
United States Commissioner Clark, on
Sept. 26. Mr.. Lambert stated today
that under the recent ruling of the reve-
nue. department the prosecution of the
cases successfully was impossible, as
the criminality was only held to be in
the issuance of the bills of lading with
out being properly stamped The eX-
press companies stamp all bills of lad
ing, but make the shipper pay for the
stamps.
Attorney Lambert still holds that the
express companies are violating the
law by such action.

Gambia is in a state of anarchy. A col

were demonstrating against European
control, and the British authorities, who
have been installing Christians as reve-

ing between the MusSulmanS and the

Riots took place in various parts of
the city, and many have been killed.
When the outbreak was fercest a war
ship stationed in the harbor began fir
ing Shells with the result that a por-
ton of the city was in flames. The
greatest confusion and uproar pre-
vailed.
The trouble began with teh attempt
of the British military authorities to
install Christian officials. They had
appointed a council of internal control
to administer the 1.-THE revenues, and a
detachment of soldiers was stationed
outside the office as a precautiOn.
A crowd of unarmed MusSulmans, who
had been demonstrating against the
Christians, attempted to force an en-
trance into the Office
The British soldiers fired and wound
ed several. The Mussulmans ran for
their arms and, returning, attacked the
soldiers.
Other MusSulmanS spread rapidly
through the Christian quarter, shooting
into windows and setting many houses
and shops on fire.
