A MONUMENT TO .CARNOT. Presfdent Loubet Attends the Un.
 vetlinH at LyonS,

LYONS, France, Nov. 5.-No disor- ders marrcd the ceremony of unveiling the monument to the late President Car not here or the luncheon rendered Presi- dent Loubet by the Chamber of Com mcrce which followed the unveiling, al- though the Socialist committee had post ed bills calling upon their followers to make the demonstration in protest against the Chamber of Commerce. which is regarded by them as Clerical and Re actionary. ,s ...
 NJ. Loubet was greeted with over whelming acclamations, although occa- sionally along the route cries of "Vive la Sociale revolution" were heard, mingled with denunciations of the Clerical party. A few groups were dispersed by the po- lice, but nothing in the nature of an or ganized demonstration developed.
 There was an imposing mobilization of troops along the route to the monument. Cavalry, infantry and artillery were massed at the crossroads and in the squares, rendering another Carnot as sassination impossible. The president s carriage was surrounded by cuirassiers. The entire city was hung with flags, and the crowd was immense.

 yictOr's Funeral.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-Lord Roberts, ac- cording to dispatches from Cape Town, has taken his sick daughter to Johannes burg, and Lord Kitchener is left in com mand. It seems likely that he will have plenty of work. General De Wet is re ported to have made his appearance near Frankfort, in the northeastern corner of Orange River Colony, and small bodies of Boers continue harassing tactics.
 II is asserted that Lord Kitchener in tends to stop the pursuit of commanders and te try to settle the colonies by garri- soning aud organizing the towns for rapid raids with mounted troops.
 ..Prince Christian Eictor's end" says a Pretoria dispatch, dated Nov. ], twas sudden and unexpected, although he had been unconscious for three days. The body was embnlmed, and, preparations were being made to take it to England when the telegram arrived announcing :he queens desire that the prince be buried in a soldiers grave. This cere- mony was performed today.
 An imposing array of troops lined the route for two miles to the cemetery. The cortege included the Royal Canadians. who are about to start for home. The pallbearers were Generals Kelly Kenny, Brabazon, Wood, Marshall, Maxwell and BadenP Powell. The chief mourners were Lord Roberts, Prince Francis of Teck, Lord Kitchener and Colonel Campbell. Crowds of the townspeople attended"
 Lord Rosslyn has brought his dispute with MT. Winston Spencer Churchill be- fore the Prince of Wales, who is colonel in chief of the regiments concerned.

PROTECT HE INDIANS
Agent shoenfeli Claims Un1nMful
 Oceppatton II Their Lanls.

Agent shoenreii Claims UniaMfu1
 Occupation et Their Lands.
 wASHINGTON.1 Nov. 5.-United States Indian Agent shoenfell, in charge of the Union agency. whose jurisdiction comprises the i've civilized tribes, pror tests in his annual report against unlawr ful occupation of the Indian lands and urges rigid congressional leGisiasion to protect tss Indian citizen against the ene croachme4s of aggressive and grasping whites. 3ia f$, ]
 Of 1000 complaints filed against nom citizens by Indians in the past fiscal year large majority were against white men who in the past had intruded themselves upon the Indians and had gained their confidence to sufficient degree to secure possession of their prospective alletmcnts and after having secured possession re- fused either to pay rent or to vacate, thus preventing the Indians from receiving any rents or profits therefrom. Many of the Indians are too poor to institute suit for possession and therefore are left help less.
 The total population of the five civil fixed tribes is estimated at S4, 150, com prising 20,250 Choctaws and freedmen. 1O,50O Chfckasaws and freedmen, 16,o00 Creeks and freedmen, 35,0OO Cherokees and freedmen and 3,e00 Seminoles. and their lands comprise total of 19, ZIG, ,2S6 acres. The agent says th&e is now every reason to believe that the Indian depre- dations and disturbances in thes five tribes region are at an end. A few full blooded Creeks are stronuously opposing the allotments of lands and have banded together and refused to appear to select their allotments. A large majority of the Creeks, however, have actually made their selections The report recommends that congress appropriate out of the Cherokee funds sufficient amount to pay the indebtedness of the nation, that law be, passed compelling the five tribes to adopt uniform system of taxing noll- citizens residing and doing business in the limits of their nation and that a workhouse or reformatory be established.

Cuban. Mourn spani.h Consul.

HAVANA, Nov. 5.-The funeral of Senor SaGrario, former Spanish consul general, which took place yesterday, was the occasion of general manifestation of sorrow. The remains were taken from the Spanish Casino, where they had lain in state for two days, at 9 o'clock yes- terday morning and escorted to Colon cemetery by a procession headed by the Spanish consul and Cuban officials. Senor Sagrario came to Cuba as Spain's repre- sentative at time when the feeling be- tween Spaniards and Cubans was very bitter. To his efforts the present better feeling is in great measure due, and the Cuban press throughout the Island has referred without exception in terms of regret to his death.

l.opuIaritx of FRANKLIN.

BENJAMIN Franklin has received one
sort Of monumental tribute to a de-
gree second only to that of Washing
ton. More towns and postofices have
been named after him than after any
other man, even Washington himself,
although the bestowal Of the name
Washington on the capital Of the coun-
try trapscends. Of course, any Of the
similar honors accorded to Franklin.
Thirty-six places In the United States,
In as many states and territories, bear
the name Of Franklin simply, and "a
others bear names into which the word
enters In combination, such as Frank
linton, Franklinville, Franklin Falls,
and SO on. AS against this there are
II Jacksons in the country, 80 Wash
ingtons and % Jeffersons.
Thirty-one counties bear the name Of
Washington, "A the name of Franklin,
% the name Of Jefferson and % the
name Of Jackson.
The naming Of the first town for
Franklin was regarded by him as a
great honor. This was In ITS, during
the Revolutionary war. The town of
Wrentham, Mass, was divided, one
part of it taking the name of the cele-
brated diplomatist and philosopher. In
recognition of the honor, Franklin pre-
scented the new town with bell for its
church.-Youth's Companion.

Clever Engineering Feat.

A railway recently built in southern
Bavaria practically carries a creek
across the railway, instead of the rail-
way crossing the creek. The stream is
O small tributary Of the Isar river,
that in stormy times Is swelled to enor-
nous proportions. Every bridge that
has been built over it has been carried
away. Finally young engineer offered
to solve the difficulty.
A tunnel Of strong masonry was first
constructed across the valley and re-
enforced ON the outside, turned toward
the torrent with all the rocks availa-
BILE that had collected there. Cross
walls leading from the solid rock and
across the tunnel were built and
strongly braced. This was done to
protect the railway. The rest was left
for nature to do. At the first strong
rain everything happened as the young
engineer had predicted. Bowlders and
rocks coming down with the water
filed up the big hole left between the
tunnel and the rocks, until the over
flow carried everything across the tun-
mel. The bed of the torrent was raised
by itself, and now there is not the
slightest danger of interruption in this
part of the railroad even after the
most severe rainstorm.

The theaters are the very places to
study the japanese. In many theaters
the entire house Is divided by rails
into square pens by feet intend
ed for four Japanese, but often con-
tanning half q dozen. The men and
women are barefoot, walk the narrow
dividing rails to reach their reserved
seats" The patrons kneel within
these square pens, or, when there are
no pens, they squat upon the floor in
little circular groups and smoke, eat,
drink, fan themselves and chatter.
Many come in and go out at random.
Children run to and fro. Frequently
the spectators bring luncheon and pass
the day within the theater, the play
continuing uninterruptedly.
The stage, which In some theaters
revolyes to change scenes, has two de-
tached projections three feet wide, ex-
tending among the audience. Upon
these projections the performers run,
reciting and acting.
Their acting is sufficiently curious.
A villain slain walks off the stage, a
Jap lnopS WITH IL ulrty clolh 'he Shieh
actors face while lie Is speaking. The
prompter, dressed all in black, gown,
hood and girdle, will follow the actor
all around the stage. Other persons,
also in black, run to and fro across the
stage. Those costumed in black are
supposed to be invisible. Stage car
pcnters and helpers often stand upon
the stage and gaze and laugh at the
actors, and so on.-Baltimore Sun.

The Manila Pig,

One Of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the ever present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut a small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
an inch in diameter. Through this
hole they insert rope, with a large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets Of Manila always attracts
n crowd, although the sight is COM
mon. The legs Of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig is then
suspended on a long pole resting on
the shoulders Of two native carriers.
The pig, with his legs up and head
down, makes about as much noise
while in transit as the pig under a
gate in Missouri and never fails to hold
the crowd-Manila Freedom.
