HIS POLICY NOT APPROVED
KAISER'S ATTITUDE TOWARD
CHINA OBJECTIONABLE.
Members of Reichstag Make It Plainly
Understood in Their Speeches.
Emperor Criticised.

Berlin, Nov. 24-The reichstag de-
bates this week on the China indem-
nifty bill evolved a mass of interesting
facts showing conclusively that En-
peror Williams personal China policy
for the past six months is either
wholly or partly disapproved by near
ly the entire nation, as evidenced by
the fact that every party leader has
thus expressed himself, even the ex-
IRENE conservatives, but also show
that the reichstag, unless it is willing
to precipitate the gravest kind of a
conflict, which it is not, must needs
appropriate the sums already expend-
ed. Another even more noteworthy
fact is that the reichstag, for the first
time since the empires creation, in
dulged in a free and unrestricted
criticism Of the emperor's words and
acts, every party sharing therein with
out only being interfered with by the
president of the house. This is regard
ed by leading parliamentarians as an
important gain for Germany. A fur
ther political development was that it
was remarkable that some of the most
severe criticism of his majesty's I'M
measured utterances came from the
conservative speakers.
The Reichsbotte, which is an TX
tremely loyal, conservative paper,
quarter" speech and personally apos-
t%rophizing the emperor, warns him
~henceforth to mind his words more,
saying that he must not forget that
"every word goes into the world and
is subject to the worlds criticism. "
Baron Wangenheim's mysterious
remarks on Thursday about ~"unconsti-
tutional influences ce~aselessly working
upon the emperor and poisoning his
mind and destroying the nations con-
fidence in it's monarch" are now in
terpreted by a number of papers to
mean that his majesty lends his ear to
industrials, commercials and scientists
which the National Zeitung considers
to be the best way for his majesty to
learn the sentiments of the different
classes and not only those of the no.
bility and the agrarian estate holders.
The liberal press takes Baron Won
Wagenheim to task on the subject.
From authentic Source the CORES
pondent of the Associated Press finds
that the reichstag is composed of the
following party representatives.
Center 106. socialists 81, conservatives
81, nationalist 81, freissinnige volks-
partei (Richter's) ~, freissinnige
vereinigung Is, reichspartei 21, south
German volkspartei Z, anti-Semites Is,
Poles ID and the rest scattering.
The emperor's address yesterday to
the marine recruits almost exclusively
referred to China. He proudly men,
toned the new motto coined by a for.
eign commenter, viz: Germans to
the 'front.'" adding: "My ons there
did not break their oath of obedience
sworn to me.

Colorado Authorities Attempt to Arrest
P0aching Indians.

Denver, Nov. ARREST the invad-
ing Indians This was the order
Governor Thomas gave to M. johnson,
game commissioner, at the conclusion
Of a conference in the governors office
today. Commissioner johnson and
Deputy Holland at once made arrange
ments to leave for the White river
country, where 500 Uintahs and I'm
compahgres are said to be slaughtering
deer by the hundreds.
The commissioner would say moth
ing concerning his plans for action,
except that he proposed to go into
Routt county, secure the cooperation
of a posse of from so to 100 men. led
by the sheriff, and then march against
the Indians. In the event the reds put
up a fight the executive has promised
that the posse shall be reinforced by
cavalry from the national guard.

pondent and golf player, we'll known
in America, who is now representing
the London Morning Post in China,
cables from Shanghai as follows:
1.-THE Pekin farce continues. When I
left all the legations were trusting to
Ii Hung Chang. 1t was believed the
court would return to Pekin and that
any attempt on the part of the dow
empress to arrest Prince Tuan
would be absurd. Prince Chwang,
who was arrested, is simply Prince
Tuan' S scapegoat. 1t is obvious that
the court will not return to Pekin. 1t
can only be attacked during the winter
through the Yang Use valley"

REBEL STRONGHOLD YIELDS
TO AMERICAN VALOR.
DEFIED The SPANISH
With Loss of Only Two Men Thomp-
son Takes Works Deemed
Impregnable.

Manila, Nov. 24-The fortress of
the insurgent chief, Geronimo, at
Pinauran, which the insurgents boast
ed was impregnable, was taken and
destroyed last Thursday afternoon by
a picked force of the Forty-second and
Twenty seventh infantry, and Troop
G of the Fourth cavalry, under Col
onel Thompson.
Geronimo and mostof the rebels
escaped. This leader has operated in
the vicinity of San Mateo, Montalban
and Novalichea. He was finally To-
Gated at Pinauran, IS miles north of
Manila. His position was considered
the strongest in Luzon. 1t vas a
stone fortress surmountng a steep hill
surrounded by canyons. The Spanish
forces lost heavily in attempting to
take it.
Colonel Thompson modified 1000
men at Montalban. The attack was
made upon four sides, the main body
under Major Carey, Of the Forty
second, advancing from the south;
Captain Atkinson of the Twenty sew
enth from the east; Captain Casteel,
of the Twenty-seventh, from the west,
and Captain Sloane of the Twenty
seventh, from the north. The ascents
were steep and the men climbed them
by grasping the s%hrubbe1y. 1t was
impossible for the eastern column to
reach the summit, but the others ar
rived after three hours climbing under
fire from the fortress and hillside in
trenchments. The enemy's force.
numbering several hundred, fled be-
fore the attackers reached the top.
The Americans destroyed 1000 in
surgent uniforms, scores Of buildings
and large quantities of supplies and
seized a barrelful of documents.
Private Hart Of the Twenty-seventh,
and Private Koppener of the Forty
second, and two native scouts were
killed AMI 10 of the attacking force
were wounded. The insurgent cas-
ualties could not be a~scertained.
1t is unofdcially reported that Gen.
eral Torres, insurgent commander at
Bulucan, has been captured by Gen
eral Grants scouts. General Grant
wired General Wheaton that the entire
garrison at San Jose had been captured
but that General Torres was not
among the prisoners.

LABORS OF NINTH IRRIGATION
CONGRESS OVER.
MEETS TWICE next YEAR
Colorado Springs and Buffalo Select
ed as the Places-National
Aid Invoked.

Chicago. Nov. 24-The ninth ma
tional irrigation congress today decid'
ed to hold two sessions next year, the
first at Colorado Springs, either just
before or just after the trans-Missis
sippi congress. and the second al
Buffalo in October, during the Pan.
American exposition.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following report which
was adopted without discussions:
eve hail with satisfaction the fact
that both great political parties of the
nation in their platforms in the last
campaign declared III favor Of the res
toration of arid America in order that
settlers might build homes on the pub
lie domain. and to that end we urge
upon Congress that a national appro-
priation commensurate with the mag
nitude Of the problem should be made
for the preservation of the forests, and
REPRESENTATION OF the denuded areas
as national storage reservoirs, and for
the construction by the national gov
eminent as a part of its policy of in
ternal improvements, of storage reser-
voirs and other works for flood pro-
tections, and to save for use in aid Of
navigation and irrigation the waters
which now run to waste, and for the
development Of artesian and subter-
ranean sources of water supply. The
water of all streams should forever
remain subject to public wishes, and
it's beneficial use to be the basis, meas:
ure and limit Of the right.
"We commend the efficient work of
the various bureaus Of the national
government i'll the investigation Of the
physical and legal p roblems and other
conditions relating to irrigation, and
in promoting the adoption Of more
effective laws, customs and methods of
irrigated agriculture and urge upon
congress the necessity of providing
liberal appropriations for this impor-
tant work.
"The work of building reservoirs
necessary to store floods should be
done directly by the government under
the existing statutes relating to the
employment Of labor and hours of
work and under laws that will give
to all American citizens a fair and
equal opportunity to get, first, en-
ployment and then homes on the
land
The afternoon session was devoted
to addresses. Those who spoke we're
Tom L. Calnon, secretary of the st.
Louis Manufacturers association;
Charles Truax, Elliott Durand and G..
B. Chandler, the last three discussing
1.-THE Industrial and Commercial I'M
portance of Irrigation"

THEY KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS
PARISIANS RESPECT INTERNATION-
AL COURTESIES.
rendered Kruger Enthusiastic Reception
Unaccompanied by Anti-British
Demonstrations.

Paris, Nov 24-Paris, while giving
full vent to her pent up feelings of
sympathy with and admiration OF the
Beers in it's reception to Kruger today,
comported herself with wisdom and
prudence.
While a few isolated instances of
II ti-British v~ociferations were audi
BILE, never once throughout the day
was there any semblance of organized
demonstration against Great Britain to
maj the unrestrained and enthusiastic,
but essentially reassuring character Of
the reception and it was with a feel
ing of relief that the authorities went
to bed, after the forebodings caused
by the unfortunate incidents that had
marked Kruger's reception at places
Ell route for Paris. It is true M.
Lepine, project of Paris, had disposed
his forces in such a way as to render
any attempt at violent outburst i'm
possible, yet it is only fair to add that
no disposition was manifested to Gre
ate trouble.
The only difficulty was in keeping
the immense throngs that We're anx-
ious to secure a glance of the venera
BILE Dom Paul in place. This trouble
was net at every instance at Care de
Lyons, when Kruger's landau, drawn
by horses decorated with colors. start
cd. Lines of municipal guards and
police, aided by mounted gendarmes,
marshalled the crowds outside Of the
Gordon at the station. VET MANY
thousands surged over the Gordon and
in the twinkling of an eye 1000
guards and police were mixed in mex
tricable confusion with the multitude.
M. Meline, who was preceding Kruger
in a carriage, however, took in the
situation at a glance and shouted to
Kruger's coachman to break into a
gallop, and, escorted by mounted
guards and a swarm of police on BIZ
cycles, he dashed ahead into the boule-
ward, where a hedge Of municipal
guards kept the crowds within bounds.

citizens of Binghamton creek, some
distance from Shinnstown, at 5 O'Clock
yesterday. They rushed from their
homes and beheld the hillside caving
in and great a~valanches of earth,
stone, and coal rolling toward the
creek. 1t seemed that the crust of
the whole earth was being broken by
some s"ubterranean force and the spec
tators contemplated an earthquake
with all its dire results.
The first and greatest fall was at 5
O'Clock, making a terrific noise. At
daylight it was seen that five coal
mines in that vicinity had been utterly
destroyed. The strata of limestone
above the coal had been utterly de-
st1oyed. The strata of limestone
above the coal had been rent and the
bluff or hillside, half a mile long and
20 feet deep was precipitated into
Binghamton creek below a distance
of 100 feet, forcing the stream out of
its natural course some distance.
Many of the boulders in the avalanche
were 80 feet long and 10 feet thick,
containing {, 5000 cubic feet. The fall
ing of stones after the general break
