TREADMILL OF INDIA.-One of the
harshest punishments used on Grim
inals and coolies in India is work.
ing them in human treadmill. This
is built in sets of huge revolving steps,
up which the prisoners are obliged to
walk without once stopping to rest.
If they stop they fall OFT and are hung
in the chains that bind them. There is
no possible escape for the wretches
fastened to the treadmill, and no rest
until the machinery is stopped. We
hear great deal in this country about
the brutality of negro launching, and
the way we treat this only lately libe-
rated slave race. The treadmill is
used in countries under English gov
ernment and with full knowledge and
consent of the governing power. 1t
would be just as we'll for England to
put an end to this method of punish
ment, which is unnecessarily brutal
for the humane attitude OF the people
of the nineteenth century toward the
basest law breakers.

INCIDENTS oFTHE CYCLONE.

Details of the terrible cyclone which
visited parts of Missouri and Iowa
Thursday are now coming in. Many
thrilling experiences are reported from
Kirksville, Mo. Two children had been
living in cot in one of the destroyed
homes. The house was carried away,
but the floor OF the first story and the
foundation we're lett, the wind lifting
the house from the sills and tumbing
il n long distance. The cot on which the
little ones lay, was lifted up with them
on il and carried fully block and q
nalf. Neither of the children WAS hurt.
While John Mccall was clinging to
cherry sapling twelve-year-old boy,
John Gehart, flew down toward him
from the sky. He caught and saved the
boy with only bruises TO both. The
Youngsters home had been demolished
TWO blocks away, and lie says he was
carried that distance in the wreckage.
At Henry Nichols's farm, just out OF
Kirksville, in the path of the storm,a an
other man was seen tlying ahead OF the
storm cloud, more that hundred feet
from the ground. The body has not
yet been found.
Mrs. Peter F. Greenwood says she
saw woman's form sweep over her in
the thick OF the storm at a high eleva-
ton. Miss Whaley was impaled upon
flving tree limb and almost disem-
boweled. Surgeons sawed the limb of at
both ends, fearing to remove 1t. The
young woman Tweed two hours.
Rev. Theodore Brigham and his wife
were crushed by flying missiles while
fleeing from their home. Mr.. Brigham
is dead and Mrs Brigham, it is believed,
cannot recover.
Hunter Lowe, farmer, and his vile
were oyertaken by the tornado in q
buggy, half a mile from their house.
There were blown out Of the vehicle
and painfully hurt. L. moment later
their home vanished and their three
children went with it to destruction.
The freaks OF the storm were many,
but one of the strangest occurrences
was the finding of grooming baby out
in field, far from Gny house. The
child was scarcely scratched. No one
has called for the baby, and it has not
been identified.

Foe GREATER MEXICo.-Strong
efforts have recently been made by per-
sons high in official confidence in Mica
ragua to prejudice the people OF that
State against the people and govern
mat of the United Ststes. These ef-
forts appt ar as editorials in FL Conner,
cjo In editor,,ccl articles OF March "a
and % the leaders cf the revolution
against the authority OF the United
States in the Philippine ISLANDS "fe
praised in strong terms and they are
encouraged TO continue resistance by
every process. The articles declare
that the troubles and the fighting were
provoked by the American authorities.
The people of Nicaragua generally rec
ognize the fact that the articles were
written by an intimate friend of Presi'
dent Zelaya, and probably reflect the
Presidents private feelings. There are
discussions in intelligent circles in Mica
ragua and other Central American
states in expectation that Mexico will
probably soon move southwardly and
annex these States. The people OF
Managua appear to be unable to govern
themselves peacefully.

A WARL1KE PRoCLAMATIoN.-A fll'
ipino proclamation, replying to the
proclamation OF the American commis'
sioners, has appeared. It is signed by
"Madini, for the President" and Is
dated at Caniasdre. April 10.
The proclamation declares that Pres'
ident Mckinley issued his recent pro
nunciamento in order to force the
American Congress to ratify the cesslon
of the islands under the the treaty OF
Paris. "This contract of cession," says
the document, twas made with tine
Spaniards after Spanish domination
had been ended by the valor OF oui
troops r,.,...
Il is complained that the Filipino;
were not represented at Paris during
the negotiation of the treaty, and tha'
they are without assurances OF the Jul
fillment of American promises. Inc
proclamation dilates upon the alleged
Anglo-Saxon hated of blacks, and as
serts desire to enslave them. Deplor'
ing lack of foreign aid in prosecuting
the war, the proclamation concludes:
"We stand alone, but We Will hgnll
to the death. Coming generations VIII
pray over our graves, shedding tears
of gratitude Tor their freedom"

THAT THE higher law" idea is as
prevalent in the North now as it ever
was, is proved by the fact that man in
New York who confessed that he WAS
doing business without the required
legal license, was discharged by the
magistrate before whom he was taken
a day or two ago. upon the ground that
he would punish no one for "trying to
earn living" The great trouble with
the people of this whole country, is not
the lack of law, but the failure OF those

The great majority of the French people.
it is said. are being systematically de-
ceised in regard to the testimony in the
Dreyfus trial because the papers
of largest circulation, which are the
ant!.DTeyfus papers. habitually garDle,
and misrepresent the testimony. All the
generals are represented as heroes, and
the various episodes in the court room in
which they have been confronted and
shown to be falsIfiers and forgers have
been deliberately altered so as to make 1t
appear that they were indicated and
their accusers shown to be the villains.

A number Of handwriting experts have
testified that the bordereau is in the hand
writing of Dreyfus and about an equal
number that Esterhazy wrote It,. The
jud gment of some of them may re Affect
ed by their prejudioes. but the most OF
them are probably honest enough.
Similar differences of opinion are very
frequent among experts in American
courts. not only in handwriting but in
various other things. A case must
needs be very clear indeed when experts
cannot be had to support both sides of it.
Fortunately there is other reliance in
most cases than expert testimony
