nance in reference to tho muzzling of
dogs is now in effect and will bo carried
out to tho lettor. Through al ovor-
sight it has not beon enforced, as TO-
quired, from tho first of June, but from
now on to October 1st it will DO rigidly

from the Ordinances Of Walhalla, and if
you are tho happy possossor of oanino
pot, from poodle to st. Bernard, (all
intermediate brcods and half-broeds in
cluded) muzzlo it OF it is doomed. Tho
dog ordinance is rs follows:
SECTIONS That any dog running at rgo within
the incorporate limits of the town, between tho
| LIST Juno and tho lst of October, without n
muzzlc, is liable to DO seized and retained by the
Marshal for a poriod of twenty-four hours, dur
ing which timo his owner can redeem him by

or dogs run at large on tho streets of tho town
without being muzzlcd shall DO deemed guilty of
| n misdcmeanor and shall bo punished at tho dis
cretion of the Mayor within tho limits of his

1t will be seen from tho above that

On Sunday night at 11.30 O'Clock the
alarm Of fire was sounded, and the barn
and stables of Mr.. D. Oolkers, In roar of
his store, wero found to be on fire. The
origin of the fire is not deflnitely known,
but it is highly probable that it WAS
started by some person or persons loiter-
ing about tho promises ut q late hour of
the night. 1t Is uncertain whother tho
fire was set accidentally or purposoly,
but it is pretty certain 1t was set Mr..
Oelkers was about the first person to
arrivo at the scene, and tho fro was
burning in tho oon*re and bursting out
through tho roof. he got out his buggy
and wagon. About twenty-five bushels
Of corn and thousand bundles of oats
and fodder wore burned with the build
ing. Owing TO tho iatoness OF tho hour
it was several minutes before tho fire
company could get tho engine and hose
in working position. But the wator was
turned on just in time to save tho adjoin-
ing building. The nearest was the house
formerly occupied by The COURIER, but
prompt and energetic work saved it, even
though it stood only thirty feet away
1t escaped with only blistors on tho
weathorboarding. This loss to Mr.. Oel
kors was about 500. No insurance.

The Case May Never BE Submitted
to q Jury for Its Verdict.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-There
is a possibility that the case Of
Dr. c.. J. Wachendorf, at present on
trial before Judge Carroll Cook and O
jury for the murder of John Kehlen-
beck, may never be submitted to
jury for its verdict. Counsel for the
defense made a motion in court to-
day that virtually amounted to mo-
ton to dismiss the case against the
defendant.
The attorney objected to the form OF
the testimony which he asserted had
not established the cause Of death
only one-sixth of grain Of morphine
from the dead mans stomach, not near>
ly enough to kill an adult. The teski-
r1ony, the attorney asserted, tended to
show motive for the murder, but MUIR
der had not been proved.

GENERAL FUNSTON.
Will Sue Archbishop Ireland and
Monitor for Criminal Libel.

KANSAS CITY, Nov IA special
fIom Albuquerque, N. NJ, says that
General Frederick Funston has wirad
his Topeka attorneys, Gleed, Ware q
Gked, to bring proceedings against
Archbishop Ireland of ST. Paul for
criminal libel, because of statements
attributed to the Archbishop in re-
cent interview. General Funston also
instructed his lawyers to bring Grim
inal and civil prosecutions against the
Monitor" a Catholic paper of San
Francisco, which first printed the
story.
In a recent interview at Chicago,
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say
ing that General Funston had been
charged with looting Catholic churches
in the Philippines. The charges al
legged to have been referred to by the
Archbishop We're made by the editor of
the Monitor" soon after the landing
Of the Kansas troops at San Francisco.
The Monitor stated, it is said, that
General Funston had taken two mag
nificent chalices from certain Cath
olic church in the Philippines, and had
sent them home to his wife,.
Archbishop Ireland, in his Chicago
interviews, was quoted as calling upon
General Funston to deny the truth Of
the article and sue the editor of the
Monitor for libel, or the public would
be obliged, against it's will, to believe
him guilty of the criminal acts of which
he has been accused.
General Funston is highly indignant
at the accusations, and says he will
prosecute the matter vigorously. He
intends, he says, to put stop forever
to the malicious stories put in circula-
ton regarding him.
General Funston says that he not
only refrained from desecrating houses
of worship at Manila, but that while
Colonel of the Kansas regiment issued
a positive order prohibiting the looting
or mutilation of church buildings. He
supplemented this with verbal instruc-
tions to his company commanders to
see that the order was rigidly enforced.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), Nov. 1.-Arcli-
bishop Ireland appeared somewhat sur
prised this evening when he heard that
General Funston of Kansas was report
ed as about to sue him for libel on
account of statements attributed to him
in a Chicago interview. He said he
had made no charges against General
Funston, but had in conversation ex-
pressed the opinion that the statements
of the San Francisco paper charging
the General with having taken a
priests robe from Philippine church
should be denied by General Funston
at once, lest a failure to deny led to a
wrong impression. The Archbishop ad-
mited the substantial accuracy Of the
Chicago interview, but was not willing
to admit that he had made any libelous
statements.

and surrounded by private property
in such way that it would be impos-
sible to enlarge it to the magnitude that
is demanded by the strategic position
Of Porto Rico. Officers who are ia
miliar with naval affairs think that
Porto Rico should have a naval sub
station that is first class in every par
ticular. At Key West and Dry Tor
tugas the Government has coal sheds
and docks which, when improvements
now under way are completed, will
hold 10000 tons of coal. Porto Rico
is more than 1000 miles nearer the
South Atlantic station, and lies directly
in the course of vessels bound from
New York for the southern station. It
should, therefore, the people here say.
have station as large as the other two
put together. A small amount of dredg-
ing in the entrance will make the land
locked harbor of San Juan deep enough
for the use of our largest vessels. The
same considerations that make San
Juan a desirable coaling station also
make it a fine location for a drydock.
Census officials have been appointed
for all the districts of Porto Rico, and
the first enumeration will be taken be-
tween Nov. 10th and Dec. Goth. AL
ready the various officers are busily en-
gagged in the preliminary work, and
they are making every effort and TAX
ing every precaution to avoid errors
and to get complete and accurate data.
The Porto Rican Benevolent Society
Of Ponce deserves much credit for the
work it has done in relieving the misery
and distress among the poor of this
city, especially among the poor and
sick women and children. The So
ciety Is made up of the leading ladies
of Ponce, and has over 100 members,
only eight of whom are Americans.
The ladies work Systematically, and
personally visit the poor and help them.
This is quite a departure from the an
cient customs here.
The society is going to hold a bazar
in the remodeled La Perta Theater in
funds to establish an almshouse in
order to take the numerous beggars off
the streets of Ponce. There is no such
institution here, although there is
great need of one. When the aims
house is instituted, a large number of
the INDECENT can thus be taken care of
for comparatively small sum. Now
the cripples and infirm are seen on the
streets and are supported by the PEN
nies given to them each day.
The society is sending to the United
States by this mail hundreds of let
ters to prominent merchants and man
ufacturers asking for contributions of
goodsd to be sold at the bazar. It is
hoped there will be a generous response,
for the contributions will serve the
double purpose of helping a worthy
cause and of introducing American
merchandise into what is soon to be
a new market.

Transit Duty in China.

PEKIN, Nov. 1.-The Government
ment has decided to farm out the coll
lection of the likin (transit duty of the
province of Kwang Lung eastern
province) for yearly payment of A.
100000 taels Foreigners regard tie
placing of the taxation of trade in
private hands with considerable mis-
giving, and as calculated to impose still
heavier burdens on foreign trade with
the interior. If the experiment is suc-
cessful from a Chinese point of view,
it will be extended to other privinces,
to the great detriment, it is claim
ed, of commerce generally.

Russia's Financial Condition.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-The
'Novosti" says M. de Wftte, the Min
lister of Finance, has recently addressed
the directors Of a number of private
credit institutions, and assured them
that the Russian financial condition ex-
ceeded that of France or Great Britain.
The dearth of money, he added. was
the result Of the worlds general finan-
cial position, and did not AFFORD ground
for uneasiness.

especially of the sea coast, the report
describes as not altogether satisfactory
Is is believed that the time has arrived
when the artillery branch Of the service
should be organized, and the field ar
tillery separated from that engaged
in the coast defense. 1t is recommend
ed that the regimental organization Of
the artillery be abolished.
and that corps of field artillery
and of sea coast artillery be provided
for, separate and distinct from each
other.
In resume, General Corbin says:
1.-THE regular army is new PRACTICAL,
at a maximum, as are also the volun-
teer regiments. The work incident to
all these changes, brought about BY
the acts aforesaid, involving the en-
listment of 23S, 800 volunteers, the III
crease from the regular army from 2e..
600 to $4,000, it's subsequent reduction
and then again its increase to 5000
necessitating numerous orders and In
structions bearing on the same, to say
nothing of the complete military record
of every officer and man of this large
force, has vastly Increased this Offices
work, the magnitude of. which cannot
be understood until undertaken That
this work has been done with accuracy
and intelligence is now history All
credit is due to the assistants and the
clerical force of the Office"
The report also calls attention to the
fact that not single life has been
lost by accident INCIDENT to travel ii
the course of all the transportation tc
the Philippines.
in conclusion, General Corbin points
out an omission of the law in failing
to provide chaplains for the voluntae,
regiments, and recommends that chap
lains be provided for as soon as pos
sible, as the presence of one with such
regiments is deemed very necessary.
