The st. Louis Globe Democrat. a
Republican paper, has resurrected
the old charge that Gen. Nelson A.
Miles put irons on Jefferson Days
while he was imprisoned at Fort
Monroe in 1865. This charge may
be true, but it does not affect the
truth of Miles statement "a years
later about the rotten and embalmed
beef fed to American soldiers by the
dishonest agents of a corrupt COM
issary department. Miles told the
truth and the revival of the war
time story cannot divert the atten-
tion of the people from there facts
of the present scandal.

Guessing the Age of Niagara.

Some interesting speculations con
corning the age of Niagara gorge are
reported by nature. This was the
subject of paper by Prof. 6. Fred
erick Wright, read at the Boston
meeting of the American association
The late DR.. James Hall early noted
the significant fact that "the outlet Of
the chasm below Niagara falls is
scarcely wider than elsewhere along
its course" This is important evi
dence of the late date of its origin,
and it has been used in support Of the
estimates which have been made con
corning the length of time separating
us from the glacial period. A close
examination made by Prof, Wright
last summer greatly strengthens the
force OF the argument, since he found
that the disintegrating forces tending
to enlarge the outline and give it '
shape are more rapid than has been
supposed. As result Of hisinvestiga
ton he concludes that a conservative
estimate of the rate of dsintegratiou
for the seventy feet of Niagara shales
supporting the Niagara limestone
would be one inch a year, with a
probable rate of two inches a year.
But at the lowest estimate no more
than $4,000 years would be required
for the enlargement Of the upper part
of the mouth of the gorge, 1000 feel
on each side, which is very largely il
excess Of the actual amount of en-
largement Some of the recent est
mates, therefore, which would make
the gorge from 10000 to 10000 years
old, are regarded as extravaganza.
According to Prof. Wright the age Of
the gorge can not be much more thar
10000 years, and is probably consid
cradle less.-Marine Record,

sARDINEs AND sPRATs
When the Latter Are Sold as the
Former They Must Pay the
Full Duty

United States Circuit Judge Morrow
yesterday handed down an opinion deny
ing the application of Wieland Brothers Of
Sah FRANCISCO for q rehearing in the
matter of an importation of sprats in oil
oeing appraised as sardines in oil.
On June IA. 1898, Wieland Brothers i'm
ported from Bordeaux. France, to San
francisco lot of sprats in oil packed
IN sardine boxes. Customs Collector
Jackson classified them as sardines The
importers protested and contended that
they should be classified fish in cans
not otherwise enumerated and provided
Tor. The latter classification would save
Sli5O to the importers. The classification
OF the Collector was sustained by the
Board of General Appraisers at New: York
and the importers appealed to the Circuit
Court
Testimony of grocers was to the effect
that the sprats were sold as sarLines at
a lesser price than sardines proper and
that they bought them as sardines The
boxes, were also labeled 'Sardines huie"
(sardines in OLD
The court delved into the ichthyologtcal
department of natural history and defined
"sprats" as the young of the herring
Sprats and sardines belong to the same
family-that of the Clupeidae-and sprats
are sold as sardnes of inferior quality
Sardines being 'the commercial term un-
der which they were sold, the court de-
cided that they must pay duty as sar-

that Cognet's action was caused by
his desire to drive her out of the city,
as De Revas got $500 worth OF jewelry
from her and $500 In cash, which she
had hoped he would repay her, as he
was to receive $1,000 from his father in
Spain In a few days. Cognet. she
says, wants TO get the $1,000. as De Re
vas is engaged to marry his sister-in-
law. De Revas had been on intimate
terms with her since she was 13 years
old and she is now II. Cognet had re-
ceived a lot of money for legal SER
vices and for acting as interpreter.
Cognet denies using the revolver
upon Olivia. He says that he has been
the attorney and friend of De Revas
since the troupe came here, and he
admits that De Revas is engaged to
marry his sister-in-law. That was the
reason why Olivia had brought the
charge against him, as she was in love
with De Revas. 1T was at my sug-
gestion," said Cognet, that De Re-

GREAT TRADE
WITH SIBERIA
IS POSSIBLE
w. M. Bunker'S Views
of the Future.

Shortly after William NJ. Bunker sold
out the Report he was made special
commissioner of the local Chamber or
Commerce to visit Siberia and look into
commercial and industrial conditions OF
that country. His first report has been
received here, dated at Paris. Mr.. Bunker
states that he has travelled to the prln-
cipal parts of Siberia, especially those
sections through which the great trans
Siberian railway is being built. Remark
able progress has been made on this line
which is being built without the aid OF
machinery. but there are still long gaps
in the road where the engineers nave serl-
Gus difficulties to overcome.
Mr.. Bunker paid special attenuon 70 tn9
imported products of Siberia ana 1ouhu
that there is a splendid market at all OF
the large cities for California hour' drled
and canned goods and merchandlSe lL oL az az
kinds. Siberians prefer the products OF
America to those of Europe, when as
rule are inferior. In conclusion Mr.
Bunker writes:
After traversfng the Russian empire from end
to end a distance OF $50 miles and carefully
studying conditions and prospects, am salts
fed that unless a tariff shuts out It's produets
fvaIi5ornia will gain enormously through the de-
veopment of Siberia by the railway am
also satisfied that Siberia undeniably rlch IN IN

miles of which one-quarter is in Europe ana

DELLA O'CONNOR THE VICTIM
PAUL DE BAUGE USES ROPE AND
DIRK ON COMPANION.

Paul de Bauge, a French cook, living at
1910 Mission street, murdered a woman
known as Della O'Connor, habitue of the
Thalia Beer Hall, in a lodgtng-hou at
IA Turk street, about o'clock this morn
ing.
The crime remained undiscovered for
nearly an hour, during which time De
Bauge remained In the room with his
victim and defed the efforts of the oc-
cupants of the house to take him a pris-
oner. He was finally taken by the
police and lodged in the tanks
at the Central police station, where he
was charged with murder. The murderer
nearly severed the woman's head from
her body with a long dirk. According to
people who occupied rooms close to the
scene De Bauge took the womans life
because he believed she had robbed him
Of SO
The landlord of the house, William An
derson, says that the O'Connor woman
has paid rent for the room nearly six
months. He says that about II o'clock
tonight De Bauge entered the room with
the woman. and about two hours later
the murder happened. John O'Connor,
who lives with the woman, came to the
door shortly after the crime was COM
mitted. He found the room dark and
knocked for admtttance The murderer
answered O'Connor and told him that he
had killed the woman.
O'Connor on being refused admission to
the room called the police, who battered
down the door. A terrible sight pre-
sented itself. The woman who had evil
IDENTIFY been struck while on the bed, was
lying on the floor weltering in blood. A
rope around her neck told that her mur-
derer had tried to strangle her before he
used his knife
The murderer made no resistance after
the police entered the room, and was
taken to the Central station, while the
body of the unfortunate woman was
taken to the Morgue.
De Bauge made the following statement
at the prison:
II am three weeks from the Klondike.
I met the woman and went to her room.
While my coat was on the lounge she
reached for it and took SO out Of the
pocket. l demonstrated with her to no
effect. and when l tried 10 take the money
away from her she got my finger in her
mouth and bit 1t badly. / then took
rome that was tied around my waist and
choked her and then became crazy and
pulled my dirk and cut her neck several
times"
De Bauge had washed and dressed him
self while in the room after the murder,
as his toilet when arrested was com
