4 Soldiers Tales.

From the Minneapolis (Kan) Mes.
 senger: During the first engagement while the company was firing at will into the woods ahead, a forlorn water buffalo, the Philippine beast of burden, meandered into the rice field directly in front of the line. The writer imme- diately directed his fire toward the buf- falo, with no apparent result. After ward, during a Hull in the firing, we shamefully confessed to having wasted our strength in this ignoble manner, and were surprised to learn that every man had done likewise. At all events the beast made good it's escape. for 1t patiently plodded ahead until the timber swallowed it up. During the charge at Caloocan a frenzied pig of diminutiYe size dashed from beneath a bamboo hut and apparently judging that all the eommotion was for his benefit, thought best to retire. As the pig dashed past the writer we gently assisted with a shove from the butt of our gun and thought no more of it for some time. Afterward, upon glanc- ing to the rear, we saw four or five soldiers in hot pursuit of the same poor little swine. 1t Is laughab1e. even in times of peace, to watch another man chase a hog, but when men forsake their places, forget the roar of conflict, the hum of bullets, the shouts of the victors and the walls of the wounded, to grap- pie with an eight-pound shoat, the scene becomes iudicrous in the eX- treme. We took the trouble to learn that the pig got away. At CaIoocan the rebels had mounted two menstrous muzzle-loading guns captured in for mer time from the Spanish. They at tempted to fire one of these with dreadful results. The Americans col leeted the remains of twenty rebels killed by the explosion of the gun. The insurgents had not the courage to fire the remaining cannon which was loaded and Primed when Calooean was captured. The natives had loaded the gun with complete curiosity shop. The cannon was filled with scissors, knives. coal, pieces of brick. nails. bolts, a thermometer, horseshoe, car link, piece of rubber hose, and. to crown it all, large quantity of hoop iron had been driven into the muzzle so tightly that it was necessary to file it before the charge could be drawn. A double dose of powder was found, and also quantity of dynamite. Nc wonder the other cannon exploded

REGULAR FIX oDUs.
Of me,hammedans Has Set In from tha
 Island of Crete.

Island of Crete.
 regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, it is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island. Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can dia among those willing to stay. be- sides free gifts of timber for the ra- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candia only gave fresh stimulus to tha exodus, and. at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole MussuI- man population would soon be gone The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England ef being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- ored, in certain measure, to fulfill her promises. but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin. habitable for Moslems, it is practical Iy impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gem orally admitted that each family is worth considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry, but the Christians having obtained tho upper hand, are resolved to pursue their adfantage to the uttermost, and tc drive all Moslems out of the coun- try. so far as 1t lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events, an ef- fective way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.

The Laughing Plant of Arabia.

Tie laughing plant grows in Ara bia. It obtains it's name from the ef- fleets produced py eating it's seeds. The natives of the district where the plant grows dry these seeds and reduce them to powder. A small dose of this powder has similar effects to those arising from the excessive use of in- toxicants. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout, and laugh. with the boisterous excitement of a madman. and to rush about cutting the most ridiculous capers for about an hour. At the expiration of this exhaustion sets in and the excited per son falls asleep, to wake after several hours with 70 recollection of his an Ntics.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Under the Red Robe" the greatest
dramatic success known in New York
for many years, will be the attraction to-
night at the Grand Opera House. 1t
comes Immediately after it's pronounced
triumph at the Empire Theatre. Paul
.Cazeueuve, the sterling young romantic
actor who created 80 many important
roles, will head large organization of
competent actors. That the popular de-
mand for romance in novels and on the
stage is not waning is apparent in the
success which "Under the Red Robe"
has achieved. A delightful, brilliant,
many-sided performance. the company's
telling Of Stanley Weyman's story really
enhanced the charm of the book itself.
Wherever played it delighted its audi
ences and paved the way for the
future successful visits Of this organiza-
ton.

Durham, N. c., Oct. 1.-Two daring
burglaries were committed at the resi-
dences of General Julian s. Carr and
Judge r. W. Winston. in this city,
Tuesday night. At General Carr's the
loss will amount to some $4,000 to $4,-
900. The burglar or burglars entered
General Cars bedroom and stole a
diamond stud from a shirt beside the
bed on which the general was sleep
ing. This diamond ornament was val
ued at $1,000, and was a registered
stone. 1t was stolen during the Worlds
fair at Chicago, but was afterward re-
covered by Pinkerton men. Other jew
elry taken increases the loss to $4,000
or $4,000. The articles of jewery
stolen from Judge Winston were found
near a side gate. in the back yard,
where it is supposed they were drop
ped by the burglar in his flight.

Final Adjournment Of the Com init Tee
Is Near at Hand. -
New York. Oct. 12.-When the MAJ get
Investigating committee adjourned its
sessions yesterday until today Coun-
sci Frank Moss announced that no ses-
sions would be held next week, but
that the final adjournment of the COM
mittee was in the near future.
Yesterdays sessions were devoted to
the consideration of increases in the
salaries Of the various city depart
ment officials and incidentally to the
decreases In salaries. But it was shown
that the increases far outweighed the
decreases. 1t was also shown that
where records were made Of changes
in salaries the record gave no indi-
cation of the amount of salary pre-
viously received.
One of the Mazet committee detec-
tives told on the stand of having been
compelled to pay the police money for
release from illegal arrest.
A portion of the testimony was de-
voted to the methods of Naughton G
Co., who are putting in an electric
railway on the boulevard and are &C.
cupying the streets for space of half
mile. According to the testimony
trade has been greatly interfered with
in this section of the city and the con-
tractors have made no effort to push
along the work. Indeed, several wit
nesses declared that the workmen were
not only compelled to lag along In
their work, but were discharged If
they showed an inclination to exert

The Newark, DEL, Ledger, says;
|, ut 10 a puzzling matter to tell just
how the two Republican factions
and the Democratic party stand 10
this State. The Philadelphia pa
pers frequently have decided opin.
ions as to the standing Of the par
ties. If the article comes from a
good Republican. there 10 nothing
in it but Republican glory. The
party is in full harmony, and that
there will be clean sweep in 1900.
This looks good. Republicans feel
good after reading il, and discuss
the possibilities. There seems to be
nothing to hinder them from march,
ing to victory IN November, 1900.
An article written by a Democrat
Is justithe reverse. In the state
the trouble in the Republican house,
hold is fairly we'll aired. The two
factions are held up to the people,
and it is shown that harmony is
simply mot in it. :" That the Adj
dieksites are as earnest as they
were four years ago over electing
J. Edward Addicks to the United
States Senate. :.

brother Edward said: "You make a
few remarks"

Joy at reaching his boyhood home. He

Yellow Fever From Havana,

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 1.-THE Mo-

Hanson. arrived here Tuesday with her
first officer and chief engineer i'll with
yellow fever, which they had contract
ed at Havana. The chief engineer, it
is thought, will die. The ship has been
strictly quarantined. This is the third
infected ship to arrive this season from
Havana, and it is thought that the
health officials will enforce a quaran-
tine against Havana and Key West.

10y AL CANADIANS.
They VIII Ask to Bear All Expense of
Furnishing Troops.

Furnishing Troops.
Toronto, Oct 12.-The Globe, the
official mouthpiece Of the Dominion
government, in its Ottawa correspond
ence, states that the imperial govern
ment has cabled the Dominion author
tiles asking how many men Canada
can furnish for service in South AT
RIGA at once. A reply has been sent
stating that 1000 men, the pick of the
Canadian troops, can be put on board
transport within ten days or two
weeks. 1t is said that transport has
already been engaged to sail from
Montreal on the 23d or Gath inst. A
contract was given Tuesday to a big
clothing firm in Hamilton. Ont, by the
government for 1000 uniforms. Cav
airy, infantry and mounted infantry
are to be sent forward.
The greatest enthusiasm is mani
tested throughout Canada, and sec
ond contingent of 1000 men will un-
doubtedly be offered in a few weeks.
The imperial government states that
Canada will be asked to land the troops
at Natal or Delagoa bay, and that all
expenses are to be paid by the home
government. 1t is probable, however,
that Canada will ask to be allowed to
bear the entire expense of equipping,
transporting and looking after the men,
