ENGLAND'S REAL ,
 rr INTENTION KNOWN
 saah 7. Her Decision at Shan ghai Thre the Mask Of. WHAT FRANCE THINKS OF 1T Regarded There as Showing Plainly That Great Britain's Action is One ofSelfInterest-Wa
 to Operate Alone
WHAT FRANCE THINKS OF IT

Paris, August 19.-England's decision not to land troops in Shanghai when convinced that the other powers would follow her example is considered as making her real intention to China as being one of self interest. Her intended independent action created not little criticism; but now that 1t has been checked, official circles silently grin at what is regarded as a rebuff It is even asserted that her course cast sus- piieon upon the genuineness of England's attitude regarding the open door policy, for had England been left in possession of the port of Shanghai and in control of the rich resources of the Yang Tse valley she easily could have been satisfied with her position, whether or not the remainder of the powers secured commercial privil- eges in the Oriental Empire. The Figaro, speaking of this, says
 England, in wishing to operate alone on the Yang Tse, seems to desire to return to ,--e policy of spheres of influence, thus tripping the theory of the open door which lately she has defended ardently."
 The annual reunion Imperialists and Roy alists, which occurred on Wednesday last, should not arouse great anxiety for the
 
 acter of these meetings The Imperialists themselves developed into two groups, holding separate banquets, one of which drank the health of Louis Bonaparte and sent message of homage to Eugenia, while the other was completely devoted to Victor Napoleon.
 The occupation of Adrar the principal city of the Touat oasis of North. Africa, by General Serviere, is considered suc- cess for French arms and of no little inn portance. General Serviere now has com plete possession of three groups of Saha- ran oases and this has been accomplished without striking a blow, and if he has been able to penetrate the Touat oasis with the feeble escort at his command it would appear that the French are masters of the region stretching between Algeria, Tunsia, Trpoli and Morocco.

An Important Case Settled.

The decision handed down by the
supreme court Wednesday in the case OF
Kane ys. Hughes county settles an i'm
portant point of interest to county
boards. In this particular case the
board Of county commissioners had or
dered Warrants for payment Of adver-
tising the delinquent tax list drawn
upon the advertising fund.-" fund
ordered created by setting aside collec-
tions from redemption oftax certificates
or that part charged to advertising.
This fund would never liquidats the
warrants drawn upon it, and in the
opinion handed down the court holds
that warrants for payment of this work
must be drawn upon the general fund.
The decision does entirely away with
the right Of the commissioners to create
special funds not explicitly provided for
by the law, and in order to have tax coll
lections legal it would be well for all
county boards to take notice that pre-
cedent has been established by the
higher tribunal in the state doing away
with all power to issue warrants except
on the regular funds known to the law.
In the case decided the board is direct
ed to issue n general fund warrant for
the warrants in suit.-State Register.

Goebel Shot Down.

A Frankfort, Kentucky, dispatch OF
the 30th ult says: While walking
through the capitol grounds on his way
to the capitol building at IL o'clock this
morning William Goebel. the democratic
contestant for governor of Kentucky,
was shot down and dangerously wound
ed. Harlsnd Whitaker, farmer from
Butler county. the home of Governor
Taylor, 10 now in Jail in Louisville
charged with the crime. There is no
direct evidence against Whitaker and
he was placed under arrest more because
he was caught around the capitol build
ing when the shots were fred than for
any other apparent reason. He denies
that he had any connection with the
shooting or knew anything about it. He
was running toward the scene OF the
shooting and not away from it when
caught and arrested. Senator Gosbel
was wounded by a rife ball Of small
caliber, not over 3S, which struck in the
right side just below the armpit. The
bail passed through the back part of the
right lung. across the body on dag
onal line. passing out below the LETT
shoulder blade. No vital organs were
injured except the right lung.
At 1890 p. m. Thursday Goebel was
still alive, but his attending physician
stated that the patient had taken turn
for the worse, and that he would not be
surprised to see him die az any moment.

where the early Christians used to live.
They lived here because it was the only
place they could hide themselves from
the heathens who would have tortured
and put them to death could they have
found them. But they could not 6nd
the entrance, so the Christians were
safe here. They lived here, their child
rem were born and buried here. Tomb
after tomb are made in the side of the
walls. There is one place where there
are as many as sixteen torabs one above
the other. Oh the horror Of the place.
The dark, gloomy, damp walls, with no
light except that of candle, fills ones
soul with terror as you think OF the
human beings VIII, had lived there.
Saint Cecilia lived here and was buried
here, but her bones have been taken
away and placed in one of the churches.
But her tomb is still, there. There are
several skeletons exposed. but one was

gloom, together with the bones OF per-

did not 90 down. She had been twice
there already, and she thought that
was enough, and quite agreed with her
when I came out. There was also a
mummy and skeleton with long hair,
these were in open sepulchers with glass
tops. Every one except me looked at
them. but don't believe could to have
sayed my life. I am sick just writing
and thinking of this horror. After
leaving this place we drove about four
miles out to the Appican Way which is
mentioned in the Bible whore Paul
walked. The very same old pavement
is on this way. 1t was about three hun
dred years before Christ. We had such
lovely views across the companiga
which is stretch of about eight to ten
miles of marches. The lovely range Of
hills covered with clouds in the di tance
on one side, and far stretching over the
companiga on the other, far away was
the deep, blue sea, and glorious sunset

lovely purple and gold. Before We went

pops feel they have been tricked out OF
their party, and carried over in the

fusion has no great charms to any OF

The gist of the decision of the U. S..
supreme court in the South Dakota
railroad rate case is favorable to the
state law and to the action of the rail
way commission in fixing rates provid-
ing the rates fixed are fair and reason
able. This ought not to be objected to.
The court directs that master be ap
pointed by the lower court who shall
investigate the matter and if the rates
fixed by the railroad commissioners are
found to be reasonable they will stand.
The law is virtually declared valid and
the authority Of the railway commission
conceded.

Mining Items.

The shaft on tn Grand Junction mine
has reached depth Of 100 feet, and the
ore Is said TO De ~ ~ srcsIlent grade.
Cross-cutting the vein was commenced
on Friday OF last week and will be push
ed with all possible rapidity.
A blind ledge has recently been dis
covered at Chilcoot, eight miles east of
Custer, at depth of about fifteen feet.
The ledge is twenty inches wide, and
assays from 5000 to $500 to the ton of
ore. The discovery VAS made by Mr..
H. G. Wise and A. L Parrish, two old
time prospectors in the camp.
A rich strike is reported in the Bear
Gulch mining district, about twenty i've
miles northwest from Deadwood. The
ore is said to be free milling, and ssti-
mates place the value way up into the
thousands per ton in gold. A stampede
has been or the past week by old min,
ers and prospectors of the northern
Hills.
A rumor was circulated on the streets
of Custer during the week, to the effect
that the Holy Terror Mining company
at keystone had struck body or ore or
the 700 foot level Is feet wide, 10 feet
Of which is said to average $4,000
per ton. 1t is also stated that the com
pany will add twenty more stamps tc
the Keystone mill, and that the Holy
Terror mill will again be put in opera
ton in the near future. This would
largely increase the output Of the Holy
Terror and Keystone mines, which las
year amounted to nearly 81 100000.

This mile is situated near Oreyille
and is the property Of Mr.. Frank He
bert, who has owned 1t for over fiftcer
years. The mine has been opened IL
several places, but the main pay shoe
was only determined last yeat while

Another Letter From Pearl White.


ROME, ITALY, Dec. 81, 1900.
My DEAR GRANDMOTHER
will tell you now little of what l
have seen in Rome. I told you in my
letter to mamma I had seen the Pope,
but forgot to incloss the ticket which
took us IN. I will send it home, so
please keep It, as that is a souvenir.
Well, Monday, Christmas day, we went
to see the church Ara Coeli. This is a
very old church. 1t contains the Bam-
bino Of which I will send a picture.
This Bsmbino is wooden doll made Of
olive wood, and represents the Christ
child. We went TO see some old ruins,
remnants Of faded glory. Old temples
and churches, tombs, and prisons who
tell the story of the time before Christ
We also got fine view of the Palatine
hill where Cohstine, Julius Cessar and
Nero, and all the great Roman emperors
hayc iiFbd. There is nothing much left
now but old brick walls which were
once covered with marble. Leaving the
old ruins we went to see the Mamerline
prison where st. Paul and ST. Peter were
imprisoned. On the side of the wal
is An impression OF face which is said
to be that of st. Peters where be laid
his head against the wall. The old
pillar that they were chained to is still
there. They had two cells, one foi
Peter and one for Paul. One was aboye
the ether, as the prison is underground
There were no steps between, but there
was hole in the floor of the upper eel
and they were let up and down through
this hole with a cord. In the lower
prison is the miraculous spring thai
Peter prayed to spring up SO he could
baptise the jailor. 1t is said to be the
best water in Rome. From the prison
there is door that opens into an aque
duct that leads to the Tiger River. Also
in this prison is the place of strangliug
and when they were dead they were
thrown in the aqueduct and their bodies
carried out to the river. Coming VI
from the dark and gloomy damp prison
We went to see that blood freezing ruiz
of the athphitheater where all the peo
pie who were Christians were thrown
to the wild beasts. From the amphi
theater to the Mamerline prison is ar
underground tunnel which connects th'
two places, 80 the prisoners could b'
brought directly to the circus, as it wa
called in those days. The cages for th'
wild beasts are just as they were in those
days, the emperors suit is just the same
l walked on the place where the beast
deyoured the humans and my heart turn
ed sick. From this terrible place we wen
to see the old Tarpsrian rock, which
was another place of torture. People
were thrown from this rock twenty
meters down, and of course killed in
stantly. Yesterday we went to see th'
old capitol, and the sculpture and pic

and new processes of extraction, but

which is known to occur in silicious
matrix; also that in the porphyry dikes
