ARMY HORSES HARD TO GET.

Rurchasing Department Finds Difficulty
 in Meeting the Requirements.
 The entire northwest Is being ran- sacked by agents of the war depart ment in quest of horses suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army. The horses procured are for the most part brought to Chicago, where they are inspected, and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color of the animal, it's weight and it's height. The owner must stand the expense of hav- ing the two front shoes removed, fur nish a halter and have the animal weighed. It would require the ani- mals to be melded," said horse trader at the stockyards. As yet there are few horses that we have received that come up to the requirements of the or der, and an owner having horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands a larger price than the government offers to pay" The local horsemen state that the gov ernment will have to make some allow ance on the order or It will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but 1t Is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year Chicago Chronicle.

THE SHAH OF PERSIA.

Mozaffer- ed din was proclaimed Shah of Persia in May, 1896, on the assassina- ton of his father, Nasser-en-din. In the four years of his reign he has &C., complished many reforms, and on his return from the present European tour there is great hope that Persia's pro- gress will be much accelerated.
 His Majesty shows the keenest inter- est in everything, and is not content until he has mastered all the particu- lars of the object of interest. At Con- trexeville, when examining q motor car. he astonshed the engineer by his extremely technical knowledge of the machine. Since receiving one or two automobiles in Teheran he has learned up the whole subject and remembered every detail A short time ago the Shah sent to London for a book on the history of Siam. This was sent him and was duly translated into Persian and read to him. These are but two in- stances of the many which show how universal are the accomplishments and interests of the Shah. In fact it would seem that in him we have the Oriental counterpart of Kaiser Wilhelm of Ger many.
 Soon after he ascended the throne, Mozaffer- r-ed-din founded schools in Te- heran and the other important cities of

Corbett said he would lick Mccoy and Mccoy said he would lick Corbett. Such sayings are not uncommon before prize-fghts. They give the public an impression that the fighters mean busi- ness, and help in the betting. But last night Mccoy discovered that he couldn't keep his word and so he fell down and out after a comparatively brief interview with "Gentleman Jim. :" The affair was very interesting one of the series which it was thought ad- visable to pull off" before the Horton law was off.

to China. At the Ordnance department 1t is stated that no brown powder has been issued for troops in the field since July, 1893. All the rapid fire field guns, as well as the rifles of the infantrymen in the Philippines and in China, are now using smokeless powder Of the best brand. Smokeless powder, an army officer is reported as saying, costs more than twice as much as the old brown variety, the government now paying S5 cents pound for it, against twenty-nine cents a pound for the brown quality There is a big saving. however, in smokelecss powder, as it is about twice as strong as the old kind. and, therefore, only one-half the usual charge is required. The powder that is at present being delivered to us is al- ton and experiments of army officers. Our experts have been trying various combinations of explosives ever since the first discoveries were made, and have gradually developed powder that is fully the equal of that offered by private chemists"
 Of course we want the best powder, and enough of it. If we must kill peo- pie let us do it in the most efficient way

Ii USSfA'S -4TTITUDE.

| When the Chinese troubles became acute the talk was that Russia would 1 be disturber of the peace among the Powers and that she would turn out to There appeared to be some ground for such talk, and it is therefore interest ing now to find Russia acting with the United States in the direction of peace. iThe attitude of both Russia and the United States toward Lii Hung Chang seems to be thoroughly reasonable. It certainly does seem important, as Act
 ing Secretary Adee points out, that the
 Chinese plenipotentiary should be able
 to communicate with his own govern
 ment and it's military commandant
 whose action will be necessary to any
 suspension of hostilities. The opinion is expressed that Russia believes, as a preliminary to the negotiations, that the allied forces should evacuate Pekin and retire with their resident Ministers, Europeans and native Christians to Tiensin, whence they can better treat with the most responsible Chinaman available.
 Just now 1t looks as if Germany might be the great disturber and not Russia, but it will not be wise to be sure that there will be any great dis turbance. The Powers have got along

everything movable in the whole car, and by the time l got through l had the long box buried under about ten tons of solid express matter and mis- cellaneous furniture. The robber could
 not have blown himself out with a dynamite cartridge. Then 1 sat down on the floor, wiped my forehead and

 "H9lf an hour later we pulled into the city, and r. leave you to imagine the wild sensation when l flung open tine door and explained the situation to the boys in the depot. The next ques- tion was how to take out the prisoner, and you may well believe we went about it cautiously, for it was fair to presume that he was a desperate fellow and we didn't know exactly how much fight there might be left in him. When the box was at last uncovered We were as- tonished to find that the lid was nailed down tight Nevertheless, the finger was still plainly visible, and one of the men poked it with lead pencil. Holy smoker he shouted, this is the best joke of the season! Why, it's nothing but corpse, and as stiff as a poker, too!' If he's dead it's because I slnothered himr I retorted indignant ly for I swear I heard him breathing just before I pulled down the trunks' That was small fib, of course, and half a minute later, when they had pried open the lid, | would have given an arm to recall it.

| Persia. In these schools are taught English, Russian and French. as well as sciences and arts. Realizing that education was the foundation of na- tion's success the Shah set about lay ing that foundation at once. So well has he done this that there are now free schools for the poor as well as those for the rich. The teachers are Persians who have enjoyed the advan- tages of European education. It is in- teresting to note that the Shah encour- ages his nobes to send their sons to re- ceiye a European education. It being unusual for the Shahs of Persia to send their children out of the country his Majesty engaged European professors, who have given to his sons thorough western education.
 The British public will be interested to learn that the Shah has introduced freedom of the press into Persia. For merly nothing could be published until it had been passed by the censor; but now editors are encouraged to criticise the acts of the Shah. It is the just man who does not fear criticism, and this action gives a good idea of the charac- ter of Mozaffer-ed- din.
 The whole system of the Persian cus- toms has been reformed within the last four years. Formerly the various off, cials farmed out the taxes, but now government directly controls the cus- toms The higher officials who have managed the reorganization are Bel gians; it is probable, however, that in time these will be replaced by Persians. The increase to the revenue has been quite considerable.
 In character the Shas is very kind- hearted, so much so that he feels al- ways the greatest repugnance for sign ing warrants for executions; he Is usu- ally very anxious to exercise clemency rather than severity. He deals with his subjects more like a father than an au- tocrat, and they apply to him whenever they have any grievances-Wes ter Gazette.
