valley he followed the road closely, but when the mountains were reached he showed his familiarity wi:h the coun- try by travelling through the almost unbroken forest. The horse he left Camp Verde on was evidently very tired, for the trail showed that Bishop dismounted and walked up the grades to give the beast a rest. This fact gave his pursuers a chance to get exact measurements of the imprint of his boots, which was useful in picking up the trail when temporarily lost. This horse cannot be accounted for. It is surmised that the animal would have given clue to the start ing place of Bishop, and he therefore killed it in one of the many canyons in that district.
 The posse came across two aban- doned camps of the murderer on July 6 near Tunnel Hill, on the old Apache road about 65 or 70 miles east of Camp Verde. Two men, Charles Chisholm and Leslie Hart, were detailed to watch for Bishop in the neighborhoOd of Tunnel Hill, while the posse fol- lowed the trail. The Yavapai sheriff determined that Bishop had travelled in a circle, evidently having returned near the place he had killed his first horse and secured his saddle.
 On the evening of July Chisholm and Hart discovered tall man about two miles from the hill standing near his horse, but us soon as he realized their presence he mounted and disap- peared in the close timber. The cOun- try in that vicinity is as rough as can be imagined, the timber and under brush being so thick that a path must be cut before it can be penetrated in many places. The canyons abound in caves, and when the posse of eighteen men undertook to follow the trail the ipr ;t ..l.

who knew her loved her.
And yet, strange ais it MAY seem,
sorrow had surrounded Rose Melton
from her birth; bitter tears had been
shed above her cradle, and the loving
faces that bent over her were lined
with care and pain. For Richard and
Alice Melton had married each other
despite the opposition of their stern
fathers, who from being friends had
become deadly enemies, sworn never
to speak to each other again, and sor-
row and care had been their portion
ever since.
From the start they had much to

days he WAS AIT deaths door.
1t was IA terrible time for Alice, but
her friends did all they could to help
her. Hen aunt came to her assistance;
and when Richard began to recover, a
gentleman who had taken much interest
in him offered to send him and his
wife for voyage.
The proposal almost took Richards
breath AWAY and as he listened he
felt has if new life were coming back
to his veins. Butt there was a difficulty
which must first be got over; it would
MOTT be possible to take their baby with
them, and though Alice's aunt, Mrs.
Barton, was only too willing to have
her. the case of an invalid SON made
it impossible.
The matter WAS talked over incess-
antly, but no decision had been arriv

brought two letters, at which the nus

FIGHT IN THE soUDAN.

Cairo, Dec. 2.-Oficers from the
Soudan who have arrived here saw
that when Gen. Wingate's force over
took the khalifa the latter tried to
outfank the Anglo-Egyptians, but
failed. Seeing his position was hope.
less the khalifa told his emirs to stay
with him and die.
He then spread sheepskin on the
ground and sat down ON it with the
emirs on either side of him. The
khalifa was found shot through the
head, heart, arms and legs and the
emirs were lying dead beside him.
The members of his body guard were
all dead in front OF them.
Gen. Wingate's force swept over
them without recognizing the khalifa
and his euhirs, but they were identi-
fed later.

NO NEWS FROM SEAT OF WAR
AND LONDON is ANXIOUS.
Open Door Policy for Chlna-France's

Newe of General Interest.

London, Dec. 2.-There has been
no fresh news from the seat of war
since the original dispatch telling of
a terrible conflict at the Modder river.
The censorship is most rigorous yet
and London does not even know the
result of the Modder river fight and
can not tell whether it was a victory
or defeat.
1t looks very much as though the
British had met with severe setback
at the hands of Gen. Cronje.
In financial circles pessimistic
views are prevailing and the,continu-
ed silence and suppression of news
is taken to indicate that the British
suffered heavyreverse. Meantime
the newspapers are turning their at
tention from the western border to
the forthcoming battle lin Natal,
where Gen. Butler is believed to be
at the present time.
A big battle will undoubtedly be
fought very soon near Colenso. The
British movements are exasperating-
ly slow in Natal, and Gen. Butler is
undoubtedly having many difficulties
in getting his troops in condition. So
far as known in London, Ladysmith
and Kimberly, as well as Mafeking,
are still holding out.

Not Till Tuesday.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The cabinet
yesterday discussed briefly the presl-
dents message to which the finish
ing touches have been placed except
to that portion relating to the Philip
pines. That section of the message
is being held up in the hope that the
president may be able to announce
the complete collapse OF the insur-
rection before it goes to congress.
The members of the cabinet are unan-
imously of the opinion that the re-
belllon is on its last legs and that any
day may see the end.
"The Philippine question is solving
ITSELF" is the way one member put it
today. The president has decided
not to send the message to congress
until Tuesday'as the immediate ad-
journment of the senate upon the an
nouncement of the death of Vice
President Hobart would preclude its
being read on Monday.
