BLAND RALLIED YESTERDAY.
But Afterwards Relapsed Into State
of Unconsciousness.

st. Louis. Mo-, June IA special TO
the Republic from Lebanon, Mo-. says
that Richard p. Bland is slightly bet
ter this evening. During the day he
was able to take some nourishment
He regained consciousness and talked
with those about him. While the at
tending physicians will not say whether
there is chance for the patients re-
covery. the family and friends are
hopeful.
A dispatch from the Associated Press
correspondent at Lebanon, Mo-, says
that at 10 o'clock tonight Mr.. Bland
was reported as resting quietly. but
wholly unconscious. The brightness
shown by him during the day and the
seeming change for the better for the
patient during the afternoon was to-
night followed by pronounced state
of coma.
As each alternate day is bad day
with him, the family fears the result
tomorrow. In his extremely weak cor
dition another sinking spell would
probably prove fatal, as his recuper-
ative powers were considerably weak
ened tonight. when he was revived
only by the vigorous use of the elec-
trio brush on the extremeties.

Major Becker. editor of the Billings
Gazette, has been removed as agent of
the Crow Indians. He had been re-
quested to resign and refused. John E.
Edwards has been appointed in his
place.
Charges of various kinds had been
made against Major Becker. and an in
spector was sent on from Washington
to investigate. but he refused to con-
duct 1t in public, as ordered by the
president, and the investigation has
been temporarily suspended But it is
evident that sufficient facts were laid
before the department to justify Beck
er's removal. He is Republican, and

TALK OF MEDIATION.
The United States May Be Asked to
Interfere.

Berlin. June 1.-THE London correspond
ent Of the Frankfort Zeitung says:
The idea of having the United States
mediate between Great Britain and the
South African republic is being favoraby
discussed in all quietness in imperial cir
cleS here. 1t Is pointed out that at pres
ent no power stands so close to Great
Britain the United States, while at the
same time the fact that he republican
form of government prevails in the United
States would make Washington's medi-
ator especially acceptableNto the Beers.
1T is also thought that the prominent
social and political position occupied by
the descendants of the old knickerbocker
Dutch in the east of the Union would be
regarded by the Beers as a factor recon-
mending to them the friendly interven-
ton of the United States as an arbi-

Gate to the Hole.

A gorge so narrow that two horses
cannot walk abreast is the only gate =
way to the hole. There are paths over
the granite for men, but not for beasts.
Leading in from Montana there are
two or three obscure routes that event
ually enable one to reach the rendez-
vouS of the outlaws, but they are
known to but few trailers and Indian
fighters. The man-hunters in this case,
however, who have been hired for an
indefinite period, will avail themselves
of the known trails, and the end Of
the outlaw reign in the "Hole-in-the
Wall' country is believed to be near.
The six road agents who robbed the
Union Pacific win not oppose the small
army of the allies alone. 1t is esti-
mated that at least fifty men on whose
heads there are prices. and who are
wanted in many states. are to be found
hiding there. Some of them are fol-
lowing the peaceful pursuits of farm
ers and ranchers. and only seek to hide
their identity. Many of these men are
convicted criminals and some of them
are under sentence of death. 1t IS
commonly stated that Bob Taylor, the
condemned Missouri murderer, is liv-
ing there, herding cattle for another
murderer. George Balk, who killed his
wife at Cheyenne.

Is Completed.

New York, June 1.-THE survey for the
submarine cable which will connect Ger
many with the United States by the way

The proposed submarine cable perrnis-
sion for which was granted by President
Mckinley TO the German-Atlantic Tele-
graph company, will start at Emden
Germany, touch at Punta del Gada
Azores. and the final landing place of the
American end will probably be at Coney
Island The line when completed will
cost nearly S5.O0O.0O0. The longest stretch
of the cable. between the Azores and New
York City, will measure 2.279 miles.

California. former collector of this port,
and for forty years a prominent resi-
dent of this state, died today at San
Carlos, his suburban home. in San

an inadvertence. Mr.. Phelps had been
lying at the point of death for two
days and word was received from his
country home that he had passed away.
He rallied temporarily, however. and
it was not until today that his demise
actually occurred.

London, Eng, Oct 2S..-The large
number Of British officers killed in the
battles which have already taken place
in Natal ihas brought out strenuous
protests from many quarters against the
ancient custom OF British officers in re-
fusing to take cover when under fire.
From figures at Glencoe, it is apparent
that one out OF every four men killed
was an officer, where cas- the organization
exists upon the principle that to every
% mer there is one officer. 1t is evil
dent that, il the same ratio Of mortality
Is kept up, the British forces will be-
come seriously unoificered. Among the
enlisted at Glencoe, the proportion of
killed to wounded was 30 TO 156, while
10 officers were killed to 90 officers
wounded. The difference in the per-
centage leads to the conclusion that
many of the officers were hit more than
once, and kept ON leading their men
after the first wound. Emperor Will
liam's recent criticism Of the British
officers refusal to take cover is now
frequently quoted. The feeling in the
army is that, though the regulations do
not cay the officers must not lie down,
it is such an old established principle
that it would take brave man to in
| augurate a change, and the adage of
| the British soldier, Follow wherever
an officer leads,' is held still to BIO in
tensely true. for, though the officers
believe the personnel Of the army is as
good as ever, it has been the history of
Great Britain that they, at the same
time, maintain that Tommy Atkins
needs more leading than any man in
the world, SO the spilling of Great
Britain's best blood is likely to con.
| tiEue for the present.
Gen. Whites strategy, and the exc
cution of his movements, are warmly
praised, and it is said at the clubs that
Gen Sir Redvers Butler will have to
hurry up, or Gen. White will get q
reerage office. Gen. White represents
| the indian element in the British
army, and those who have served in
| India have always maintained that the
commander there had more import
ant post than the commander in chief.
Regarding European intervention,
| Great Britain's plans to meet such an
emergency continue. Tho journal de
Geneve publishes dispatch from Com
stantinople, saying that Russia intends
handing the Porte note at an early
date, demanding the opening of the
Bosphorous and Dardanellss Unless
Great Britain is party to such de
mand, Russiais action will undouht-
edly stir up u hornets nest. compared
with which the Transvaal question will

The internal conditions of labor in
England have not been improved by the
war. About 1900 Welsh miners are
likely to be thrown out of work Novem-
ber 1st by threatened strike of the

A VICTIM OF HYDROPHOBIA
The Horrible Death of j. H.
Donovan of Brenford.
OCCURRED SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Suffered Intensely up to the
Last Half Hour.
Mrs. Donovan, Who Also Was Bitten by the
Babid Dog, Is Grief-stricken. But There
Are Hopes Thar she VIII Escape the Raw
ages of the Terrible Disease.

Smyrna, Oct. 3d.. H. Donovan of
Breuford, vino was stricken with hydro
phobia several days ago, died Saturday
afternoon. His sufferings we're intense
up to within half an hour of his death,
but the last moments were peaceful.
The case is sad one. The latter
part of September, a watch dog belong-
ing to Mr.. Donovan disappeared, and
did not return for several days. When
it came lack, Mrs. Donovan attempted
to chain it, when it sank its teeth in
her arm. Mr.. Donovan was attracted
to the scene by the cries of his wife,
and the dog jumped at him, biting his
lip. The dog was Immediately killed,
and Mr.. Donovan did not think any
thing about the affair for several days,
until some of the neighhors urged him
to go away for treatment. A week
after being bitten, he became greatly
frightened, and, with his wife and
physician, DIR. q. G. Harmonson of
Clayton, went to the Pasteur Institute,
New York. There they remained two
weeks, both husband and wife being
in good spirits when they returned
home. The doctor who treated Mr..
Donovan informed him that, if he could
pass the ensuing 30 days without any
i'll effects, he would not have the
hydrophobia. The latter part of this
period Mr.. Donovan awaited with much
anxiety On the 25th day he began to
feel the effects of the disease coming
on him, and Drs. Harmonson and Cliff
ton, the latter of Smyrna, were sum-
moned, and trained nurse from Balti-
more was secured. Mr.. Donovan told
the physicians that he knew his condi-
tion, and realized that his days on
earth were few. He pleaded with them
to keep him rational until his chill
dren could reach home. He fingered
until Saturday, when death ended his
| sufferipgs.
The deceased was member of Clay
ton Lodge, Shield of Honor. and Pill
grim Castle, knights of the Golden
Eagle.
Mrs. Donovan, while Frustrated over
| the violent death of her husband, does
| not feel any symptoms of the disease,
and it is hoped she will not meet the
same fate as her husband.
