It has been frequently remarked that the Jewish
race has wonderful power Of adaptation to all
climates. Jews are found in all parts OF the globe,
and to possess remarkable facility for accli-
matization even under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances. Mesopotamia is considered the mother
country of the Abrahamic family, well as the
cradle of the human race. Some years ago small
colony ofJews found in the ancient city of Sen
mar, in the south Of Mesopotamia and in the
vicinity of ancient Babylon Ofthe seventy families
composing the colony claimed to be descended
from King Joachims the rest from the house of Levi
colony Of Jews appear to have settled in China
about the beginning of the third century of the
Christian era, under the dynasty Of Han. In 1904
Father Gouzani, a Roman Catholic missionary,
found seven families near Pelxn.

Now THAT French justice seems to have come to
ITSELF it is pursuing the straight track without fear
or favor.
Baron Christian, who assaulted President Loubet
at the races last Sunday week ago, has been SEN
fenced to four years impris onment, almost the ex
treme limit Of the law.
The Chamber Of Deputies and the Senate were
afraid that the government did not intend to prose
cute the guilty in the Dreyfus conspiracy because
of their high position AS result they faiedto give
a vote of confidence and a new and more liberal cab
met has been formed.
AT twenty minutes past six o'clock last Saturday

So soon as the verdict Of the Court Of Cessation
was received the despised convict became once again

TRUE to his word, President Loubet attended the
races last Sunday Every precauton was taken for
his safety. Instead of hostile demonstration

All of which goes to show that courage excites uni

| The WISCONSIN CYCLONE.
The Tornado's Awful Havoc at New
Richmond.
TOWN is ALMOST WIPED OUT.

New RICHMOND, Wis, Juno IL
Fully 100 corpses, twice as many
manglcd people, forty acres OF piles OF
bricks, shivered planks, scattered
heaps of household goods, dead horses,
through which the wind had driven
sharp splinters OF board, smoldering
fires where houses stood but Monday,
and in the midst of it all shivered
trees as bare of leaves as ever they
were in the middle of winter and al
most stripped bare of bark until
they resembled the ghosts of what
they had been forty-eight hours
ago-this is what the storm
wrought in the space OF three
minutes upon the town OF New Rich
mond. There may have been cyclones
which created greater devastation,
some that have caused larger loss of
life, but it was only because there
was more material for destruction.
There never was n cyclone that made
u clearer sweep of what lay in its
path than the one of Monday evening
In the business portion of the town
absolutely not one building was left
standing above the cellar windows;
everything above foundation wall
was shaved as clean as though it had
been cut with plane.
Enormous safes were blown into
the middle of the street, and the larg-
est safe in the town was carried across
one street and half way over the
square beyond. The day had been
warm and sultry, and during the lat
ter part of the afternoon heavy banks
of clouds had hung upon the western
and southwestern horizon, but moth
ing serious was anticipated until
a few minutes before 6 o'clock,
when dark. blue cloud with
edges of pale green was seen
rapidly approaching from the south
west In minute long funnel was
seen dropping toward the ground, and
then, with savage roar, the cloud
swept down upon the doomed town.
A circus had been exhibiting during
the afternoon, and the streets were
full of strangers, and as the awful
cloud bore swiftly down there was
mad rush for cellars, doorways Oh
any other place that promised safety.
Some of the crowd reached refuge
and those who did not are among the
dead.

LUNNS DEATH is A G0DSEND.
Belgian Consul at Manila Says He Was
the Soul OF the Uprising.

BRUSSELS, June 17.-In an interview
NJ. Andre, the Belgian consul general
at Manila, declared that Luna's death
was a godsend; that he was the soul
of the rebellion and the most sanguin-
ary man of all Aguinaldo's army and
one who tortured Spanish prisoners
and lived by instruction.
Before NJ. Andre left Manila for his
present visit to Europe he obtained
from the Americans some concessions
for Philippine insurgents in consider
alton of Luna's formal promise to re-
lease Spanish prisoners. Luna after
ward refused to fulfill his promise and
M. Andre then described Luna's con-
duet as treacherous and felonious.
Luna sent him challenge to duel,
but disappeared without fighting. .
NJ. Andre says the assassination OF
Luna removes the principal obstacle
to peace, which the Americans have
now great chance of speedily secure
ing, even by simple persuasion. ~

ROBBERS ON THE. P. & G.
A Train Stopped Near Poteau, T.
HandIts Probably Got Little.


PARIS, Texas, June 17-Late advices
say Joe Tate, John Burns and John
Peterson have been arrested at Poteau,
|. T., after running fight OF half q
mile, for completely ia the robbery of
the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
train near Poteau. They were taken
to Fort Smith.
MENA, Ark. Juno II. About 2:45
yesterday morning southbound pas
senger No. on the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railway, which left Kan
sas City Thursday morning, was
"held up" by three masked men at a
sharp curve about mile south OF
Shady, /. T., $50 miles from Kansas
City. The engineer was signaled to
stop by red lantern, and, on bring
ing the train to full stop, guns were
leveled at him and the fireman was
commanded to go back and cut
off the express car. Then they all
entered the cab CT the engine. One OF
them, being familiar with the engine,
handled it and ran the cars down the
track q couple of miles, where they
went through the express and mail
cars, securing considerable booty, but
the exact amount is not known as the
express company never gives out the
amount of its losses.
d. II Patterson, express messenger
for the Wells Fargo Express company,
has nothing to say, as he is under in
structions from the company to say
nothing. But the robbers got all
there was to be gotten, much or little,
as the case may be.
AS the robbers did not come back to
the passenger coaches, Conductor Sui
Ivan had no opportunity of getting a
description of the men, but their
work was well planned and not the
wor,,; of novices.

FIGHTING At SAN FERNANDO
Americans Meet and Defeat 5000
FiIipinos in the Jungle.
KANSAS TROOPS ARE ENGAGED

MANILA, June 17-After cutting
the railroad. and telegraph at
Apalit, seven miles south, for
the purpose of severing connection,
the rebels attacked General Nc
Arthur's lines at San Fernando at
half past o'clock yesterday morning.
They met with an Unexpectedly warm
reception, and were repulsed, with a
loss of seventy-five killed, thirty
prisoners and many wounded.
The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 5000 men, advanced
stealthily from the jungle north OF
the city, and then divided, with the
evident purpose of surrounding the
Americans.
The outposts of the Iowa regiment
discovered the enemy and retired to
their lines, where the entire division
awaited in an intrenched position.
The Iowa regiment and the Kansas
regiment received the first shock
of the attack. Reserving their
fire until the enemy was with
in 600 yards, the first volley
of the Americans hit the rebels,
who returned the fire wildly, the rest
of their line failing to advance. The
Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed
the novelty of the situation-await-
ing an attaclx--sallied forth, and the
insurgents thereupon turned and fled
into the Jungle. Our loss was four
teen men wounded. The majority OF
them are only slightly hurt.
General Funstons brigade of Kan
sas and Montana troops, and General
Hale's brigade, the Seventeenth regi-
ment and the Iowa regiment, consti-
tuted the force engaged.
Aguinaldo is reported to have per-
sonally conducted the attack. Pre-
parations were made for several days
to bring forward troops from Candaoa'
and others from Daguipan were trans
ported by rail.
Along the front of the Kansas regi-
ment 80 rebel dead were counted.
The first news of the Filipino ad-
vance was reported by a telegraph
operator WHO was oCho w WIZ "a
at Apalit to ascertain the cause OF a
break in one of the wires. He was
compelled to beat hasty retreat I'M
der fire.
Since the Americans withdrew from
Candaba recently the Filipinos have
returned, and have wreaked ven
geanc e upon those who befriended the
Americans. They slaughtered the ma
tives who surrendered the town and
displayed their heads on poles in the
public square. The hostile natives OF
Ccbu are more menacing. Mail adj
vices say hostilities against the Amer
leans have been begun there. Colonel
Hamer, the American commander, has
asked for reinforcements, and four
companies of the Tennessee regiment
have been sent to him from Iloilo.
The Nebraska regiment has been or
dered to sail for home early next
| week

SMELTER TRUST REBELS.
Refuses to Pay tho Prices Fixed BY the
Producers of Zinc Ore.


JOPLIN, Mo-, June 1.-THE Missouri
Kansas Zinc Miners Association and
the Zinc Shelters trust are up In
arms against each other. The fight
has long been threatening and 1t Will
determine whether the zinc ore pro-
ducers or the shelters shall here
after make the prices of zinc ore.
Formerly the shelters fixed the
prices and offered just what they
pleased for the ore. The miners could
accept the price offered or else keep
their ore. They had no other alterna-
tive until the organization OF the Zinc
Miners association six months ago.
The association contains large ma
iority of the zinc ore producers OF the
district, and it's members are pledged
not to sell their ore below the asso-
cations prices. Every week the as
ISOLATION makes the ore prices, based
upon the market price of spclter and
the assay value of the ore. It's sched-
ule of prices has been adhered to un-
til this week, and during its existence
it has seen the price of ore advanced
from $40 to sos per ton. For several
weeks spelter has been declining, and
the ore prices were reduced accord
ingly, but this week the smelters
refused to pay the associations sched-
ule, claiming that the prices were
higher than warranted by the market
price of spelter. The zinc miners are
determined to stand together and II
the smelters refuse to pay the prices
they will export their ore to Europe
and will build several large smelters
to treat all of the ore produced in the
district. They held big meeting
last night and decided to donate "a
per cent of the output of the mines to
the association to enable it to main
tain its fight against the zinc smelter
trust. To-day the association will
cable Europe proposal to sell from
1000 to 5000 tons of zinc ore week.

SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Good Prospect That smelter Strike VIII
BE Ended Shortly.

DENVER, COL, June 1.-THE outlook
Is favorable for an early resumption
of work at the trust smelters. Steps
have been taken which will probably
lead to a conference between Mr. James
b. Grant, chairman of the operating
committee of the American Smelling
and Refining company, and commit
tee composed by the Smelter Mems
union.
The employees, it is believed, will in
sist only that eight-hour shifts shall
be granted. Mr.. Grant has said that
he will agree to this He has also ex-
pressed willingness to pay the wages
that are being paid at the Argo
smelter If the men recede from their
demand for ten hours and twelve
hours pay for eight hours work there
will be nothing in the way of a speedy
and satisfactory settlement OF the
trouble.

Nansen, who examined it most care

ceeded in descending with his balloon
and taking with him his arms and
ammunition there was good reason to
assume he had reached Greenland,
where he would probably be found by
the Nathorst expedition. 1t will be
impossible to hear the result of this
expedition until September.

SUGAR TRUST'Su METHODS.
President Havemeyor Tostifies Before
tho Industrial Commission

tho Industrial mmisslon
WASHINGTON June 15.-Henry O
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company, was exam
ined by the industrial commission
in connection with its investiga'
ton of trusts. His testimony related
almost wholly to the sugar industry,
and he opened with vigorous attack
upon the customs tariff, which he de-
clared was the mother of all trusts, "
becoming such by providing IAN inor'
dinate protection to manufactured ar
ticles" This attack was made in
written statement, which he read
Mr.. Havemeyer asserted that tar
if of 10 per cent was as higl. as any
tariff should be. He contended that
sugar is Disseminated against in the
tariff in the interest of the Louisiana
cane growers, the beet sugar makers
and the sugar growers of the Hawaii
an islands. To these interests, he
contended, the United States contrib
uted S24, 900, 900, which was taken out
of the pockets of the people. The pro-
lection on sugar amounted to only -
cent pound, or about ga per cent
ad valorem. 1t ought to be twice as
much.
Capital and labor" he stated,
would all adjust themselves II let
alone" The only way to prevent
competition, Mr. Havemeyer testified,
was to keep prices at minimum-not
necessarily in the interest OF the con-
sumner, but as matter of business.
He referred to the trust laws of some
of the states as a premium on dishon-
esty, and specified the Missouri law.
He thought the trust was refining
about 90 per cent of the sugar refined
in the United States.
Ma. Havemeyer spoke freely of the
methods of the company in preserving
and extending it's business. or the
earlier enterprise he said he did not
fight the Harrison refinery at Phila-
delphia. "But we had to fight Spreck-
les when he came into the field with
his enormous plant. We had to do
that or suspend dividends. We went
into the fight and we kept it up until
we got the refinery"
The late drop in the price OF sugar
had been caused by the starting OF
new refineries, which had threatened
to take 50 per cent of the business.
sit was part of our policy to put
prices down, and let the opposition
take the result whatever it may be.
Every sale made by the opposition
displaces so. much of the American
company's product, he said. 1--WE
must protect our own business.
Mr. Havemeycr then went on to say
that what the company did it did not
do for motives of philanthropy-that
it hal its own shareholders to pro-
tect.
Speaking of the coffee business Mr.
Havemeyer said he was in the bust
ness and in it to stay.

MADE A CLEAN SWEEP.
Herman, Neb., Wiped Out by Funnel
Shaped Cloud

HERMAN, Neb., June 15.-Ten per-
sons dead, twenty-five injured, five OF
whom will die, and half of the re-
mainder suffering from very serious
wounds, sums up the list of casualties
resulting from the tornado that
wrecked this place on Tuesday night.
The loss of property aggregates
$50, 900, which means something ap-
palling Cor the inhabitants OF the viii
lage. One hundred buildings have
been completely destroyed. Only six
structures remlin intact, three in the
north and tie same number in the
south part of the town. These com
prise four residences, the school house
and one church.
The population is in pitiable con-
dition. Those who lost their homes,
and there are about 500 of them, are
absolutely without resources and
must depend on public charity for
sustenance and chance to begin life
over again. The few who escaped
without injuries or loss of property
are so dazed that they know not what
| to do.
The tornado was first observed two
miles west of town and was travelling
westerly. After travelling west a
short distance it turned back, taking
due east course until within half a
mile of the town. 1t then took a
southeasterly course, covering a strip
apparently only about 200 yards
wide, but wide enough to destroy the
| town.
