Not Fighting Yet.

London, Oct. 1G.-So far as actual
news is concerned little change in the
situation Is noticed. The state of af-
fairs at Mafeking can only be conject-
ured. The occupation of New Castle
by the Beers was prepared for and ex-
pected, the place having been aban-
doned by the British. The Beers are re-
ported to be menacing Kimberley.
Heavy rains and SHOWS are reported,
which hamper the Boer movements,
and they are finding that they began
too late to easily obtain the initial sue
ccsses counted upon. They evidently
find the advance upon Ladysmith diff
ficult, either from the north or west, as
General Sir George Stewart Whites
reconnaissance sutticed to deter them
for the present.
The peaks of the Drakensberg range
are now covered, and he storms which
have occurred must have caused the
Beers great discomfort. which prob
ably explains their failure to attack
General White. Mastery inactivity
characteriZes the operations of both
sides.

It is reported from Portland, Ore,
that packers of salmon on the coast
are declining to accept further orders,
and n majority of them will not be able
20 fill contracts already taken, some,
1t is declared, will fall short from %
to 80 per cent. The pack of salmon
on the Columbia river 81 far this sea
son is about 1876, 900 cases. the smallest
pack on the river in twenty years.
Last year at the same date the num-
Der of cases packed was slightly in ex-
cess of 265, 900. On the Frazer river
the total pack to date is not. accord
ing to conservative estimates, more
than $4,000 cases, against 245, 600 cases
last year. On the Puget sound the
packers may be successful in reaching
the output of last year. Last years
pack aggregated 100000 cases. 1t is
estimated that the pack at Rivers in
let will be from 25 to 30 per cent less
than last season. The Skeena river
pack will, however, be above the aver
age. The estimated pack for 1899 on
all points on the coast, including Alas
ka, is, in round numbers. 1900, 900
cases.

Recognizing ones voice through the
teIephone makes 1t doublf hard to re.
aIize that the voice one hears over the
telephone is not the voice of the per
son who is talking. 1t seems almost
exactly like the real tones, drawn out
thin and small and carried from a long
distance by some mechanical means-
but 1t isn't. When one speaks into the
instrument. n little diaphragm. like n
drumhead, begins to vibrate, and each
vibration sends n wave of electricity
over the wire. These waves set up a
mimic vibration in another diaphragm
at the opposite end, which jars the air
and produces an imitation of the orig
inal voice. This is not a scientific ex-
PLANTATION, but it is the fact.

shouting GLORY to God" and Halle

its missionaries abroad for the year.

SOLDIERS AND INDIANS FIGHT.

Serious Race Feud Mt Pima, Arizoni'' Is
Reported
Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Pima, Arizona, VIA
Bowie, says:
Last night Mt midnight n band of
colOred soldiers of Company G, Tween
ty-fifth infantry, now stationed at a
Carlos reservation, disguised them
selves ms Indians and, slipping upon n
band of Apaches, camped near the
post, attacked them with clubs ana
%bayonets, precipitating n pitched I
tie.
The Indians thus suddenly aroused,
made a brave resistance, but were Mt
orally beaten down with hub until
many were seriously injured n a
later dispatch says that fou are dead.
The survivors fled to the mountains.
An alarm was sounded at h post,
but the majority of he soldiers es-
capped without detection. Strenuous ef-
forts are being made by the authorities
to find the assailants. The garrison is
under arms. The attack was caused
by the increasing intimacy of some OF
the negroes with Apache women, with
whom they have become infatuated
and attempted TO abduct two.
The Indians retallated by mutilating
n negro soldier in n peculiarly
%atrocious Indian style, and the attack
followed.
The situation is grave. as the Indians
are aroused to frenzy and are gather
ing. A general uprising is threatened
and the agents fear trouble. Ii is
feared that the rites Mt the burial OF
the dead will incite the survivors to
attack the whites. A detachment of
the Twenty-ffth infantry, stationed
here. Is ready to he sent to the aid OF
the San Carlos garrison Is necessary.

PLOT OF DIPLOMATS.
Claimed That Venezuela Case was No
Decided on Its Merits.

Chicago, Oct. 1G.-The Paris cor,
respondent of the Record, says:
Now that the last of the judges and
lawyers in the Venezuelan arbitration
ease have left Paris. the Venezuelan
official world here is beginning to
speak out and to express its real opin.
ion concerning the recent award. The
things that are said are not compli.
mentary to England or to President de
Martens. Ii Is considered hat n regu.
lar plot was inaugurated against Ven.
ezuelan interests by England. and fol-
this NJ. de Martens is especially blamed
since it is believed that Influences in
high quarters in Russia moved him TO
favor England, so AS to gain for his
country the British goodwill In the
partition of China.
When the arbitrators met to settle
the award. the Nenezuelans say, II was
discovered that their conclusion was
already arrived at, and this conclusion
was entirely TO the advantage of Eng.
land. Thereupon Chief Justice Fuller
with the greatest earnestness, and ever
Indignation, vigorously combated the
proposed award. He declared that he
and Justice Brewer would protest pub
licly, and he informed Professor dc
'AhA N'ii'' lO II llt SOU OI lie 1tnSut
arbitration scheme, that the treaty OF
arbitration never would pass the Wash.
ington Senate.
This threat seemed to brighten NJ. d,
Martens. and he partially abandoned
the English judges. A lame compro.
mise was arranged, which became the
final award. Though far from what
Venezuela had n right to expect, 1t was
a great Improvement on the award n.
originally planned by the majority Of
the judges.
This alleged inside history has so en-
ragged the South American intellectual
elite of Paris that feeling is growing
stronger every day advocating a meet
ing of representatives of the Soutl
American republics under the auspice.
of the United States to prepare n new
code of international law on American
lines, based on the Monroe doctrine
and proclaiming America for the Amer
leans.

Guiana produces among South Ameri
cans here an evaporation only equalet

Elect OF Adultery
Salt Lake. Oct. 15.-Brigham ii.
Roberts, Utah's congressman-elect, has
been formally charged with adultery.
The affidavit of Charles Mostyn Owen,
alleging the committing of the felony,

torney Streeper of Davis county.
In the letter enclosing the affidavit,

to twins August 10, 1897. Both wives
live In Centerville. Davis county.
Congressman Roberts Mt present is in
Brooklyn, New York. 1t is believed

Roberts fail to came back, Mr.. owen
will endeavor to extradite the con-

The family is the foundation of the
state. and in studying the equities of
public burden bearing. governments
have not lost sight of the bachelors.
The addition of rs per cent to their as
sessed valuation by the grand duchy OF
Hesse is initiated in effect, 1t seems, by
the tax law in Kansas, a citizen there
who supports only himself being rated
at the common valuation and $500
more. The bachelors liberty is made
part of his taxable property. Such an
ordinance may not always encourage
matrimony," as the Hesse law con-
templates. but the legislators probably
meant to tax bachelors, not SO much
for a privilege as for stunning a priyi-
lege.

A dispatch from India says that the
British government has concluded ne
gotiations for taking possession of
Delagoa bay November l.. This, If cor
rect, will be a severe blow to the
Transvaal, which will then be shut of
from an outlet by land or sea. If the
purchase has been made Portugal is
likely to have exacted a high price for
the seaport. At one time 1t was of
fered to the British for s65. 900. but
with characteristic stubbornness. ex-
pecting to get it for nothing, they took
the case to arbitration. when it was
promptly awarded to Portugal by Mar
