AFRICAN WOLVES.
They Are Very Ferocious. and Even
the Lions Fear Them.

The African wolves. when hunting in
packs, are very formidable, and NJ.
Foa, the great French explorer, says:
Experience has shown me that they at
tack not only all animals Of medium
size, but also the lion itself. They wage
terrible battles, in which the lion sue
cumbs to numbers, though not without
having ripped open some Of the enemy.
But the survivors in their turn soon
tear it. Consequently the large, raven
Gus beast has a salutary terror of them.
In this connection he relates a story Of
how his servant once scared away
some lions who had surrounded them
in the darkness away from camp.
The night was as black as pitch, and
we did not distinguish the trees until
upon them. Lions prowled around US,
and one OF them roared within alarm
ing proximity; but we could not see
them; we heard them walking in the
leaves on all sides. Reaching the tree,
we found one Of our companions with
the rife cooked, another trying to re-
light half extinguished torch. Still
the lions walked. We guessed them
coming and going in the darkness.
At that mon mt Tambarika whisper
ed to us the advice to initiate the pun
pis (Wolyes) in the distance So we i'm
mediately began barking and shouting
'Hu, hu, hu!' in an undertone, as
though the pack was still at q distance,
while the man at the camp made the
same well initiated cry. The effect was
instantaneous. There was a rapid gal
lop in the dry leaves; the lions decamp-
ed. The more or less well initiated ap-
proach Of q pack Of wolves rid us of
to the camp with our honey, and moth
ing troubled our tranquility until
morning

HOME FOR COAL ITINERs.

Project Mooted at the United Mine Work
ers National Headquarters.
Indianapolis. Feb. 27.-At national
headquarters of the United Mine Work
ers it is reported that with the de-
Tense fund project assured there are
many Of the United Mine Workers ad-
vocating a permanent home for min
ers. 1t is asserted that a home could
be built for less than $50,000 and that
suitable site could be secured with
out costs, as there are many coal op-
orators who would che erfully give the
ground.
An assessment of % cents q year
would give the home fund at least $780,
600 the first year, and the plan to tax
each union man cents month for
the maintenance of the home would
give an additional 100000 per annum.
One or two prominent coal operators
who have always been in sympathy
with the United Mine Workers have in
timated that they would substantially
assist home project. The movement
is rapidly growing

HAS TWO GOVERNMENTS,
But No Money Is the Condition Of Things
with Kentucky.

But No Money Is the Condition Of Things
with Kentucky.
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 28-Two state
governments, completely differed, and
each claiming to be the regular and
legal officials are in Frankfort, and
will remain, each claiming the right to
administer the affairs Of state, till the
question is adjudicated in the courts.
The only ludicrous thing about the
contests came into the situation yes
terday. AS anticipated, the banks re-
fused to recognize either Of the con-
tending factions, and as a result both
are without money and~the state funds
are as securely tied up as they could
be. Legislators, county as well as
state officials and all Kinds, of con-
tractors with the state, will have to
wait until somebody is authorized by
decision of the court to pay Them
and the state will have to wait on
what is due it till the courts say who
is authorized to receive it, t@'.'.".'.

Counterfciter's Gasoline Stove "Goes OFF,
and He Is in the jug.
Joplin, Mo-, Feb. 27.-The explosion
of gasoline stove brought an alleged
counterfeiter to grief here Yesterday.
The man under arrest is Oscar Ram
sey, and his mint was in the upper
story of private residence. Among
those who rushed into the house after
the explosion was Deputy United
States Marshal Means. Ramsey at
tempted to jump out of the window
when he saw the officer, but was de-
tanned.
After the fire had been eXtinguished
Deputy Means gathered in the coun-
terfeiting outfit and several spurious
dollars bearing date of 1896, upon
which Ramsey was working when
the explosion occurred. After his ar
rest Ramsey detied any man to make
a better looking dollar than those he
had made The counterfeit is very
we'll executed.

Daly ON the Witness Stand,

Washington, Feb. 27.-Marcus DAILY,
the millionaire miner Of Montana, was
the principal witness before the senate
committee OH privileges and elections
yesterday. He admitted that he had
contributed $4,000 or $4,000 to the
prosecution of this case, but asserted
that he had not entered into any con-
spiracy before Clark'S election to in
jure him. He had not contributed any
of the $4,000 used in the Whiteside
exposure. In conclusion he rendered
his checks and check books for the
past five years for the inspection Of the

Eating Away Stone Walls,

At first sight it would seem hardly
possible for bacteria to be concerned
in the breaking down Of a stone wall,
yet this is the case, according to OBJ
servations made in studying the cause
Of the decay OF cement. The gradual
disintegration of the cement mortar
used in water supply reservoirs is one
Of the serious troubles met with by
water engineers and trouble which
so far they have not been able to avoid
with any measure Of practical success.
Hitherto this action was supposed to
be the result Of the solvent property of
carbonic aciG and other mineral sub
stances commonly present in q water
supply. The cement gradually disin-
tegrates and becomes a kind Of mud
which slowly detaches itself. But now
it has been found this strange process
is due to the action Of none other than
that bacterium known as the nutrify-
ing organism. An examination Of the
mud shows it to be teeming with these
organisms.

authorities upon diet, says that the
average man in state of absolute rest
can live on 16 ounces of food a day, a
man doing ordinary light work can live
on % ounces and a man doing labori-
Gus work needs from 90 to 80 ounces.
This is food absolutely free from wa
ter. and it must be remembered that
everything we eat contains more or
less water, so that from 4S to GO ounces
Of ordinary food are necessary accord
ing to the work in which man is en-
gagged.

New York, Feb. 28.-The Herald
this morning says Ignoring Berlin.
London, Paris and the other European
banking centres the Russian imperial
government has come to New York for
loan. 4 syndicate of financial insti
tutions Of this. city--banks. trust com
panies, and insurance companies
have just arranged the purchase Of an
issue Of $25, 100000 Of 4 per cent. bonds
representing a first mortgage on the
WladikaWkaS railway system The
principal and interest Of these bonds
are guaranteed by the Russian gov
eminent, and are payable in American
gold dollars at the New York Security
and Trust company.
Uncle Sam a Financial Power, Too.
The nature and size Of this loan, and
the disclosure which it makes OF this
country's present position as q finan-
cial power of the world, is it's most in
teresting feature. Another is the sur
prising showing it reveals as to Rus
purchase in the American market
OF iron, steel, coal and finished ma
chinery. Besides, there is the fact that
a gold loan guaranteed by one Of the
great European powers is selling i'll
the American market at a price which
nets the syndicate slightly more than
4 per cent. The first $4,000, 600 Of the
bonds have just been delivered in New
York, and payment Of $0,0OO,00O has
been made on account. This money is
now deposited to the credit of the Rus
sian government at the office Of J. 2.
Morgan & Co., the National City bank
and the New York Security and Trust
company.
Money Does Not Go to Russia.
A special arrangement made with
the Russian government by represen-
tative of the syndicate, who has recent
ly returned from st. Petersburg, pro-
vides that none Of the money for the
bonds is to be transferred to Russia,
but that ali Of the amounts are to be
deposited in New York to the credit of
the government and disbursed under
direction of the Russian fiscal agent
in America, NJ De Routk0wsky. in
payment Of the balances which Rus
STA is mourning with American ship
builders, iron and steel manufa cturers
and others OF the class.

Authorities believe that this initial
purchase Of coal and the buying of
materials in connection With the con-
structiOn Of the Trans-Siberian rail
way and the great development Of her
agricultural products is only the begin
ming of Russia's purchases in this
country.
