where else which it was necessary to
go in order to work the ship, he made
himself target for the good aim of
the pirates The pirate vessel could
move about as it pleased, for it requir-
ed but few men to manage it, and so
it kept out of the way of the Spanish
guns, and it's best marksmen, crouching
close to the deck, fired and fired when
ever a Spanish head was to be seen.
For five long hours this unequal con-
test was kept up. 1t might have re-
minded one of a man with a slender
rod and a long. delicate line, who had
hooked a big salmon. The man could
not pull in the salmon; but, on the 9TH
er hand, the salmon could not hurt the
man, and in the course of time the big
fish would be tired out, and the man
would get out his landing net and scoop
him in.
Now, Barthoiemy thought ne could
scoop in the Spanish vessel. So many
of ner men had been shot that the two
crews would be more nearly equal. So
he boldly ran his vessel alongside the
big ship, and again boarded her. Then
there was another great fight on the
decks The Spaniards had ceased to be
triumphant; hut they had become des-
perate, and in the furious combat ten

worse than that; more than half of the
men who had not been shot by the pi-
rates went down before their cutlasses
and pistols; and it was not long before
Bartholemy had captured the great
Spanish ship.
1t was a fearful and q costly victory
he had gained. A great part of his own
men were lying dead or helpless on the
deck and of the Spaniards only forty
were left alive, and these, it appears
from the accounts, must have been
nearly all wounded or disabled.

WICHITA CKan.), Jan. PA special
to the Eagle" from Guthrie, o. t.,
says:
The Mayor of Shawnee, o. T., has
wired Governor Barnes that the re-
ported Indian outbreak in the Seminole
Country is a hair breadths whisky
scare
The Sheriff of Pottawattomie County
has also wired the Governor that he
does not believe any murders have been
committed. He reports the Indians as
tremendously excited, but not threaten
ing.
A later dispatch from Guthrie says:
Governor Barnes has offered 81, 900 re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
the members of the mob which burned
the two Indians to death in Pottawat-
tonne County, and has instructed coun-
ty officials to leave nothing undone to
bring them all to justice.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT INvESTI-
eating THE REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Secretary
Bliss called at the War Department and
had an interview with Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn respecting the reported out
break of the Semnoles in the Indian
Territory. Secretary Bliss had dis
patch, received from Agent Wisdom,
confirming the published statement of
the burning of two Seminoles charged
with outraging and numbering a wo-
man, but adding that he did not appre-
bend any further difficulty.
Later the War Department tele-
graphed General Brooke at Chicago,
commanding the Department of the Mis-
souri,, for information as to the situa-
ton in the Seminole country. 1t may be
that nothing will be done until General
Brooke is heard from, though the pres
ent intention of the Department is to
have some troops sent from Fort Reno
or Fort Sill to the scene of the reported
outbreak.
This afternoon General Brooke at Chi
cago reported that he had dispatched an
officer to make an immediate investiga-
ton of the conditions in the Indian Ter
ritory. The troops at Fort Reno, he said,
could be placed at the point where trou-
bic was reported by the newspaper dis
patches in less than three hours after
they received their marching orders
General Brooke was instructed by tel
egraph to use his discretion in preserv-
ing the peace, and TO use troops in his
command as he saw the necessity for
them, without further orders from the
Department.

ed, were signed in her presence by Sir
Tatton.
During her cross examination Lady
Sykes admitted that she bet heavily
but said that it was with her husband 5
consent. Altogether, she added, her
winnings on the Stock Exchange ex-
ceeded her losings.
Her ladyshsip also admitted that she
owed Sam Lewis, the well-known mon
ey lender, $4,000. Later Lady Sykes
announced that she had not kept ac-
count books, adding that she kept her
accounts in her head.
Upon further cross-examination Lady
Sykes said it was impossible to get
money from Sir Tatton except for
churches. Her borrowings, she contin-
ued, were to pay debts. In addition to
the noEey she had borrowed from Sam
Lewis, Lady Sykes admitted having
borrowed Fl 900 from Sanguinetti and
t2S,00O from insurance companies.
AT the close of the days proceedings
the case was adjourned

BEET SUGAR FACTORIES.
Three to be Established in the Sac

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE
Cali says: A cablegram from London
received to-day announces the success
of the mission of Willard E. Green, who
recently left for Europe in the inter-
est of the beet sugar syndicate which
has been negotiating for lands in the
Sacramento Valley.
Satisfactory arrangements have been
made, and all that remains is to secure
the proper persons to cultivate the beets.
Contracts have been signed by which
15o,O0O acres of land near Chico, Marys-
vile and Red Bluff has been secured.
and the work of erecting three immense
sugar factories will be started at once.
The syndicate has a capital of S15. 000.-

success if money and experience can do
it.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Complain That at Present They
Are of Little Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-The
Railroad Commissioners in their annual
report to the Governor, filed to-day
complain emphatically that the com,
mission, as at present empowered, is of
little service to the people of the State,
and suggest that, without such legisla-
ton as they specify, it might better be
abolished.
Inadequate power and disappointing
legislative bodies are to blame, they de-
clare, for the long delay in the courts by
which the proposed reduction of eight
per cent. in grain rates has been de-
ferred.
For the same reasons the Commission
ers complain that they are unable to
compel railroad companies to file their
reports, and they are powerless to COM
pei adequate protection to the public.

Shortly afterward printed CARDS appear
ed. and it became a trade. The Ioiolns
card, with happy surprises in sentiment
hidden under flowers, was conception Oh
the French in 1871. The trade still grows
in significance, especially since the eVolu-
ton of the card to the calendar.
The most beautiful cards still come
from Germany. They are in bewllder-
ing multitude of chaste designs, including
all sorts of natural flowers, with senti-
ments engraved in silver or gold under
the leaves. England produces the most
artistic ecclesiastical cards Of any coun-
try, vet she does not confine herself to
this style exclusively. There are many
senteel poor people in London who main
tain themselves in comfort by writing
verses for Christmas and New Year
cards, and their work is done early in the
year. The custom of sending Christmas
cards in America was first noticeable IN
1870. They were then made on very
small scale by a firm in Boston. Inc
trade grew in importance until now, when
it is at it's eliminating point and the
Christmas calendar bids fair to supersede
the card.
