CDR. Ferguson" Arrested in New
York For Swindling.

New York Dec. Charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. a
man representing himself as DR.. Will
liam A. Ferguson formerly of Galveston
Ex-Governor Moses of Charleston, S c.,
was arraigned today before United
States Commissioner Shields and held
in bail of 1000 for examination on
Thursday next.
The prisoner is said to bear a close
resemblance to the notorious South
Carolina governor of .'carpetbaggeTo
fame, whose record is in every police
headquarters in the country.
'tDr. Ferguson was arrested Tuesday
last on complaint of DR.. Jarman, who
alleged that Ferguson had swindled him
out of small sum of money and was
continually annoying him. The federal
authorities wish to send him to Wash
ington, where he is wanted on charges
of swindling.

UNDER GIBRALTAR.
Plans and Estimates For Tun-
mel Are Completed.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The state depart
ment has received a report conveying
further information as to the proposed
tunnel from Europe to Africa under the
strait of Gibraltar from Mr.. George H.
Murphy, consular clerk at Magdeburg,
Germany. Mr.. Berlier, the French en-
gineer, who has submitted the proposal
of this project to the governments of
Spain and Morocco is said to have per-
feet confidence in the feasibility of the
plan, holding that it presents no great
er obstacles than were encountered in
the building of the tunnels of Mont
GEMS and st. Gotthard. On the other
hand, Mr.. Murphy states that the ven
tilatiOn of a submarine tunnel, and, re-
moval of the constantly accommodating
water are very formidable and expensive
obstacles to be dwelt with. Neverthe-
less Mr.. Berlier believes that by secret
process of his own he can grapple with
these difficulties and keep the cost of
the work at figure not exceeding that
required in the enterprises at st. Gott-
hard and Arlberg, or SimDIon. BY
working simultaneously from both ends
of the tunnel, he believes the date of
completion could be safely placed at
1907.
The proposed length of the tunnel is
25 miles, 20 miles of this under the sea
Railway connection in Europe is planned
by means of line following the Spanish
coast and passing through Tarifa and
Algeciras into France. In Morocco a
line would be constructed from Tangier
connecting with the railroad system at
Tiemcen- The entire cost of the tunnel
alone is approximated at over 1923, ,OOO. 600
and Of the entire connecting line be-
tween Spain and Algiers at about $43, :
500. 00e
The French press is said to criticise
the project unfavorably, on the ground
that Mr.. Berlier has over-estimated the
earning power of the road and that it
seems hardly credible that the passen-
ger and freight traffic between France
and Algeria could be diverted to this in
direct and expensive route

The British had five killed and fifty

STOP NEWSPAPER FAKES.
PostofRce Department. Makes a "saun-
pie Copy" Ruling.

The postoface department has made a
ruling respecting the mailing of sample
copies at the pound rate by the publish
ers of newspapers. The ruling of the de-
partment prohibits the publishers of
newspapers from sending through the
mails at the pound rate a greater num-
Der of pounds than he, the publisher,
has of bona fde subscribers For exam
pie: If publisher has a hundred pounds
of newspapers that og to regular sub
scribers then the publisher can not send
through the mails more than a hundred
pounds of sample copies
The postmaster is required to show by
his report the number Of pounds sent by
the publisher through the mails to his
subscribers, and in another column, he
must show the number of pounds sent as
sample copies. 1t is very evident from
this that the postmaster must enforce
the rule or he will hear from the de-
partment.
There are several publications in this
city which this ruling will effect but
Postmaster Guthrie says that the rule
viii be enforced no matter who has to
suffer.

No Rupture Present or Prospective
With Turkey

Constantinople, Dec. 1.-The rumors OF
a rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey are
unfounded. The relations between the
porte and the United States legation are
excellent.
In fact the United States charge
d'affaires Lloyd c. 'Griscom, has been
received in audience six times this year.
Only a fortnight ago, he was invited to
a musical entertainment at the Yildiz
Palace. This proves he is persona grata
at the palace.
The visit of the United States battle
ship Kentucky to Smyrna does not in
huence the nature of these relations.
though it does induce the porte to more
strictly concern itself with the United
States claims for indemnity, which were
already on the point of solution.
Dr. Thomas H Norton is going Mon
day to take possession of his post at
Harpoot
The United States legation viii con-
tinue to- press its demand for an exc
quatur but a prompt solution of this
question is not likely.
The order to the Cramps of Philadel-
phia for a cruiser, will be small, the
price being less than 100000 Turkish
pounds.

A BIG INROAD
Into the Business Of the o. r. G. N.
Is Projected.

Lewiston, Ida, Dec. 1.-The steamer J.
M Hannaford, owned by the Northern
Pacific railroad has been leased by F.
W. Kettenbacn, manager of a local grain
company and will be put in service here
early next week to ply between Lewis
ton and Snake river points. The first
trip of the steamer will be made Tues
day. Mr.. Kettenbach announces that
traffic arrangements has been made
with the Northern Pacific railway and
a warehouse will be built near that COM
pany's track on Snake river water front
where freight will be transferred. The
movement is interpreted as a big inroad
in the Oregon Railway & Navigation
territory by the Northern Pacific. Mr..
Kettenbach, speaking of the enterprise,
said:
It expect to give grain shippers facili-
ties to reach the Puget Sound ports,
thereby forming a competitive market to
the section that is now reached by the
Oregon Railway & Navigation company
only.

Succeeded in Command in Africa
by Lord Kitchener.

London, Dec. 1.-The war Office an
nounces that Lord Roberts has handed
over the command of the British troops
in South Africa to Lord Kitchener.
It is further asserted that the queen
approves Lord Kitchener's promotion TO
be lieutenant general with the rank Of
general while in command in South
Africa
Despite some misgivings. hearty APP
proval is generally expressed OF Lord
Kitchener's appointment. It IS felt that
if any one can clear UP matters in
South Africa he IS the man; and AZ 81
readily admitted that the task before
him, though of a different kind, Is al
most as difficult as that which faced
Lord Roberts ten months ago, and -
calculated to give the fullest scope to all
of Kitchener's talents as an organizer
The Morning Post hints broadly that
the recent demand of Lord Roberts for
reinfotcements has not been complied
with, and insists that Lord kltcheners
hands must not be tied by any lack OF
men or horses. II says.
sIf reinforcements are withheld or de-
layed Lord Kitchener may be paralyzed
no one can foresee. From 10000 TO 10000
men are required"
All the editorials dwell with consid-
erabIe emotion on the nations debt OF
gratitude to Lord Roberts, who has
successfully piloted us through one OF
the darkest hours Of our history"
From Cape Town come indications of
the uneasiness felt. All military posts
throughout Cape Colony are being
