Story of an Escape From Overwhelm-

1.-The long-haired man from the west may
be all right. but there are Others" re-
marked dark. swarthy. stout man in this
city yesterday. He was Frank Grouard.
ex-chief of scouts of the United States
army, the hero Of a hundred Indian fights
and hairbreadth escapes. There Is nothing
romantic in the appearance of this big,
brawny man. his black hair now well
streaked with silver. but his exploits are
literally b,azoned on the army reports by
Crook and Sheridan. Born on an island in
the South Pacific in 1885, the son of a mis-
sonary, through a stress of circumstances
at the age of five he was left to shift tor
himself. Doing chores about the Califor-
MIA mining camps and driving an ore wagon
was his training for carrying mail over a
lonely star route. He was captured as a
youth by Indians and adopted as son by
the famous Sioux chief Crazy Horse, liv-
ing five years In Indian camps, eating his
meat without salt, forgetting the taste of
medicine making" by Sitting Bull. This
school Injured him to hardship and led him
to meet and overcome dangers that few
men have experienced.

Restoring the Great Bustar tl.
From the London Chronicle

Every one will wish success to Lord
Walsingham in his attempt to restore that
magnificent bird. the great bustard, to its
ancient English home in Norfolk and Suf-
folk. At present the bustard Is only a
winter wanderer to Britain, but there was
time when it haunted eleven English
shires and was known also in the Merse
of Berwickshire and the open area of the
Lothians. In Norfolk. where the bird APP
pears to have fingered longest, the last
two examples were killed In 1888. but
lS32 saw the last OF 1t In Suffolk Sixteen
birds have now been put down on the
borders OF Norfolk and Suffolk. and there
Is no particular reason why they should
not multiply and flourish just as the ca
percaiizie has In Scotland.

Was 1t "Reminiscences:

From the Chicago Post.
Possibly her action was due to thought
Iessness and possibly it was not.
Somehow the strange story of the New
York man who had been amusing himself
by kissing the pretty feminine shoppers
who happened to nave bundles in their
arms came up for discussion. 1t was both
droll and interesting, and ELECTED much
sprightly comment.
A.Of COURSE he said. "a woman with
bundles Is helpless in such an emergency.
'.Tr,,e," she returned: land there Is no
chance to blame her If she Is kissed. IL
there..' Then she added moment later:
..I wonder who left those books In here.
They belong in the library"
Now. a woman with bundles is no more
helpless than girl with a big book under
each arm and the practice of moving large
volumes Is said to be rapidly becoming a
fixed habit In Lake View circles.

Quills lstiIl In Use.
From the London Chronicle.

Although it is seventy years since the
quill pen gave place to the steel nib, and
NO one dreams of using any but a steel
pen for his ordinary writing. the authorities
of the reading room at the British museum
still persist In supplying quilts. which, In
obedience to the law which seems to govern
all institutions in which writing is a ne
cessity, are invariably broken when found
on the catalogue desks. In the course of
q year good many pounds might be saved
were these needless quilts abolished, and
a good deal of trouble might be saved to
readers were new steel pens placed In
each inkstand at the catalogue desks every
day and the penholders fastened by q
string In order to prevent absent minded
readers from taking them away.

AGAINST TARIFF REVISION.
Representative LOudenslager States
His Position,

Representative Loudenslager of New Jer-
Eey, chairman of the House committee on
pensions. has selected the room vacated
by the naval committee a convenient
place to prepare pension legislation Mr..
LOudenslager was engaged in superintend-
ing the moving of his effects into the new
quarters when seen by a Star reporter to-
day.
Mr.. Eoudenslager is impressed with the
great amount of work to be done by the
Fifty-seventh Congress. He is also i'm
pressed with the idea that there a num-
Der of things which should not be done.
One of these is an attempted modification
of the tariff.
Whether in the hands of friends or enc
mics. said Mr.. Loudenslager, the discus
sion Of the tariff always disturbs business.
1t is my belief that no modification of the
tariff should be made or attempted.
Il am inclined to think that there will be
something done in the way of reciprocity,
although there is reciprocity and reciproci-
ty. and anything that We do along that
line will have to reflect benefits to us
On the question of a surplus and a re-
ductioE of the revenues. Mr.. Loudenslager
said that in his opinion Congress should
first ascertain how our colonial policies are
to be settled and what the larger appro-
priatiOnS to be made were to amount to.
He believed there would be canal built
across the isthmus and the construction of
a Pacific cable.

other two were in the slop jar. This testi-
mony threw additional light on the i'm
portant and somewhat disputed question Is
regards the number of empty shells found
in the room.
Detective Peck said he had a talk with
Mrs. BOnine the 18th of May. She was en-
tirely calm
United States Attorney Gould announced
that Detective Parham is Ill, but 1t might
be possible to produce him in court tomor-
row. He added that the government VIII
certainly close it's case in chief tomorrow
morning by placing on the stand certain
witnesses who will Identify the trunks,
chair and other articles of furniture to be
shown in court as being the same as that
in Ayres' room the morning of the Tragedy
Acting on the suggestion of Mr. Gould
the court thereupon, at 2:30 o'clock ad-
Journed until tomorrow morning at III
o'clock
1t is learned that the defense had in
tended upon the government closing the
case. to ask the court to instruct the jury
to return verdict of not guilty, but coun-
sci have concluded to put in witnesses for
Mrs. BONNIE merely a matter of vindi-
cation.
1t is practically a certainty that Mrs.
BONNIE will not take the stand, her coun-
sci holding that such a step is not neces-
sary, and under the circumstances they do
not care to have her go through an ordeal
of that character.

ARG ENT is BEGUN
THE HEMP INQUIRY BEING BROUGHT
TO A CLOSE.
Judge Mackey Begins the Opening
Address, Claiming Hawks Acted
With Of1cial Approval.

In accordance with previous arrangement,
argument in the hemp inquiry was begun
this afternoon before the special investf-
eating committee of the Senate military
committee. Judge Mackey. counsel for
Major Hawks, opened the argument. and
was followed by Mr.. Needham, counsel for
Col. Heistand. Each attorney was limited
to one and one-half hours each.
At 2:25 o'clock Judge Mackey began his
address. He regarded it as great COM
pliment that the committee had charged
him with the duty of reviewing in an hour
and half 500 printed pages Of testimony.
He asked Mr.. Needham who he represented,
and the latter replied that he appeared for
Col. Heistand.
I'm that case" said Judge Mackey, 'I
will limit my opening remarks to such parts
of the testimony as refer to Col. Heistand"
Senator Hawley's Suggestion.
Senator Hawley remarked that the COM
mittee took cognizance of the entire case
and desired him to consider the entire case.
Judge Mackey replied that he would mail
ly review the entire case, but as he was
chosen to open the arguments against his
wishes. he proposed in opening to limit his
remarks to facts relating to Colonel Hell
stand only in opening his case.
Acted With Official Approval.
Judge Mackey then argued that his
client, Maj. Hawkes., had acted in accord
ance with official approval. He quoted
letter Ito whom 1t may concern written
by Col. Hestand, in which he concluded
by saying the government will look with
favor upon the same" saying that this let
ter from official source gave the project
entered into by Maj Hawkes. official ap-
prevail.
He also argued that the assistant secre-
tary. Mr.. Meiklejohn, approved the project
according to a letter written by Colonel
Heistand to Major Hawkes.. This letter
was dated July 27, 1900, and said in part:
He Cdr Meiklejohn) is much pleased with
the work.
This, said Judge Mackey, could not have
been written by an intelligent officer. as
was Colonel Hestand, without showing that
the assistant secretary of war did approve
the project.
THAT communication" said Judge Mack
ey, shows that the assistant secretary of
war was a party in interest, and that the
enterprise would have at least his aid for
otherwise Col. Heistand, an intelligent Of
hcer, would not have inserted the words
he is much pleased with the work done -

ment when The Stars report of the pro-
ceedings closed
