July Is when Colonel Hawkins was
taken i'll with cancer OF the bowels
from which he had been sufferer
during the greater part Of his campaign
in the Philippines and for which he had
undergone treatment in the military
hospital at Manila. His illness contin-
ued during the following day, July l6.
when the Senator was at Yokohama.
and two days later he passed away
at sea.
Colonel Hawkins illness dated from
the battle Of Malolos. when he exposed
himself almost recklessly in the disease
breeding climate He was respected
and loved by every man of his COM
mand and his death is
deeply Mourned by the Troops.
His body was placed in hermetically
sealed casket and placed in the stern of
the vessel and lay in state tended day
and night by guard Of honor during
the remainder Of the voyage. After
the death Of Colonel Hawkins the com.

Drawing the Long Bow.
(St. Paul Globe.]


Colonel Thomas Lowry came within
an ace of winning a reputation. Going
down Leech lake with the excursion
it's recently the talk turned to the
primitive method of hunting with the
bow and arrow.
when 1 was a boy" remarked tho
colonel. Il could hit a . cent piece at
hundred yards with my bow and ar
row
The crowd was visibly impressed.
At the Pillager village a small In
dian appeared with long bow and a
bunch of arrows. There were cries for
Lowry Immediately. The colonel came
up at once. smiling his blandest. When
he caught sight of the warlIke weapons
the smile died out in very peculiar
lost my last friend expression. The
din was tremendous An immense
crowd gathered to see the shooting.
The Indian boy put up a stake at
fifty yards with a ) cent piece. con-
tributed by President Shonts. of the
II. l.. t. railroad.
Isn't that a little far?" faltered the
western railroad magnate-
When 1 was a boy" began Mr..
Shonts.
That's all right about you boyhood
bring it nearer and watch me-"
The stake was placed at twelve feet
and the exhibition began Seventeen
shots, and the 3 cent piece remained.
Then the colonel dropped the bow ac-
cidently. and before he could recover
it an Indian boy of about four sum
mers picked il up. ran about forty
feet, then turned quick as a flash
and slipped his bow. = There was
whiz and a shout which could have
been heard in St. Paul He had dis
lodged the cent piece the first shot.
The bow and arrow cost Mr.. Lowry

eventually deposited in the deep re-
cesses of a greasy pair of jeans.

Most of the refugees from Aliwalnorth
have gone to Jamestown, east of the
railway near the mountains.
There are indications that the Beers
are making a determined bid for the
active support of the colonial Dutch,
but they are not likely TO succeed in
obtaining it. owing to the presence OF
General Butler and the near approach
of the troops. 1t is stated that a Boer
commando, 5000 strong, is at Donker-
poort, but the strength of this body is
probably exaggerated. II is reported
that the commanders show no activity,
spending mos. of the day in sleeping
and doing little or no drilling.
Many recruits are offering to enlist
in the new colonial forces, proving that
many of the colonials are anxious TO
participate actively in the campaign.

JAPAN WANTS TO FIGHT.
Said to Be Counting An Encounter
With Russia.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 11.-That the
rumors of the serious situation between
Russia and Japan are not exaggerated
seems certain from news received here.
The North China Daily News says:
80 greatly excited were the Chinese
of the north by rumors OF an impend-
ing war between Russia and Japan
that many merchants, both Chinese
and Japanese who are doing business
in New Chwang. Port Arthur, and
Chefoo. have sent their families to
Shanghai and elsewhere in the south
for safety"
1t is believed Japan rather courts
the struggle as she is now second only
to England in naval strength and for
years has viewed the encroachments
of Russia with resentment and alarm
The Hongkong volunteers have Of
fered their services to the imperial
government for South Africa service.
1t is stated 1000 British subjects are
serving with the American army in
the Philippines.

LAS has been noted in the public press
of a few weeks ago, Mr. Roberts ssIgnl-
fed his willingness, consistent with the
business which called him east, Of COM

charge that might be preferred against
him.. but those who are engaged in THIS
work have seen fit to NOT make known
their purpose until it is too late for him
to do so, except at a very serious cisad-
vantage. Therefore, under the circunl-
stances, l cannot see how Mr.. Roberts
can do otherwise than ignore this
charge until after congress adjourns, at

'If the information had been brought,
as ii might have been, in the distrlct

The only object of those behind Inc

Regarding the telegram published in

that Mr.. Roberts intended 10 resign,
Mr.. Hill declared there was not Woru

a fake. pure and simple, and that Mr.:
Roberts has no intention whatever OF
resigning.
County Attorney Putnam said yester-
day that he believed Mr.. Roberts would
return to Utah as soon. as he knew a
warrant for his arrest had been issued.
He did not say what he based his be-
lief on. The matter rests entirely with
the congressman. The offenee with
which he is charged is not extraditable,
and should he conclude to remain in the
east until the approaching session of
congress is over. there is no way of
preventing him from doing SO.

Lynch Law In Siberia.

Odessa Correspondence London News.)
The Ispravniki. or rural police. of the
more remote districts of the Taiga gold
fields in Siberia have lately made the
discovery of a completely organized
Vehmgericht among the native and
colonist mining population in that re-
gion but so far all the efforts of the
local authorities to single out and iden-
tify any of the guilty members have
proved fruitleSs. Suspicion was first
aroused by the constant mysterious dis
appearances of persons of bad charac
ter, more especially among the indi-
genous tribesmen known as the Stara-
telli, noted for their peculative proclivi-
ties These disappearance even now
continue despite the utmost vigilance
of the police. Occasionally the victims
receive a first warning by means of
nocturnal seizure, when they are blind
folded bound and fiogged by masked
executioners. 1t transpires that one of
the rules of the secret association is
lin order to prevent social strife and
scandal" not to tolerate the presence of
any women of doubtful character about
the gold mines. The extreme penalty is
not often carried out against a wo-
man. even of the worst reputation. but
if she disregard the warning to leave
she is seized, stripped and logged, and
by some means secretly conveyed out
of the settlement, blindfolded and gag
ged. When the executive of the lynch
tribunal wish TO emphasize a case of
punishment the severed hear or limb
of the victim is left exposed in some
conspicuous place.
There is no doubt that this Siberian
Vehmgericht originated in the supine-
ness and corruption of the police, sew
eral members of which have also dis
appeared. The police admit that the
secret tribunal succeeded in establish
ing a high standard of honesty. moral
ity and social order among the Taiga
gold mining population.

thor writes that today "a dozen lines of
steamships now cross the Pacific be-
tween America and Asa, where for two
and half centuries single galleon
made its SLOW and clumsy way forth
and back from Acapulco to Manila once
year." and quotes Secretary Seward
who said forty seven years. ago that

Their attention was also called to the
fact that in their first request for an in
