RIDING ON AN AVALANCHE,
Down q Steep Canyon without a
Bruise or O Scar.

Down q Steep Canyon Without
Bruise or o Scar.
Few mountaineers go far enough
INTO the avalanche regions to see much
Of them, and fewer still know the
thrilling exhilaration of riding on
them, says John Muir in The Atlantic.
In all my wild mountaineering l have
enjoyed only one avalanche ride. and
the start was so sudden and the end
came so soon thought but little Of
the danger that goes with this sort of
travel, though one thinks fast at such
times.
One calm, bright morning in Yosemite,
after a hearty storm had given three
or four feet of fresh snow to the noun
tains, being eager to see as many
lvalanches as possible and gain wide
views of the peaks and forests array
ed in their new robes before the sun
shine had time to change or rearrange
them, set out early to climb by side
canyon to the top Of a commanding
ridge a little over 5000 feet above the
valley. But was not to get top views
of any sort that day, but instead of
these something quite different, for
deep trampling near the canyon head
where the snow was strained started
an avalanche, and l was swished back
down to the foot Of the canyon as If by
enchantment. The plodding, wallow-
ing ascent of about a mile had taken
all day, the undoing descent perhaps
about a minute.
When the snow suddenly gave way,
I instinctively threw myself on my
back and spread my arms to try to
keep from sinking. Fortunately,
though the grade Of the canyon was
steep, it was not interrupted by step
levels or precipices big enough to
cause outbounding or free plunging.
On no part of the rush was buried.
was only moderately imbedded on
covered with kissing back streaming
veil, and as the whole mass beneath
or about me Joined in the flight l felt
no friction, though tossed here and
there and lurched from side to side,
and when the torrent wedged and
came to rest found myself on the top
Of the crumpled pile, without single
bruise or scar.
Hawthorne says that steam has spir-
itualized travel, Notwithstanding the
smoke, friction, smells and clatter OF
boat and rail riding. This flight in a
milky way of snow flowers was the
most spiritual Of all my travels, and
after many years the mere thought OF
1t is still an exhilaration.

CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.
Some Of the Prerogatives Which EN-.

Some of the PrerOgatlves Which EN-
bassadors May Exercise.
A curious privilege Of an ambassador
is that he and he alone when dismiss
ed may turn his back to the sovereign
to whose court he Is accredited. The
mode Of procedure is as follows:
When the ambassadors audience Is
over, he waits to be dismissed by the
sovereign. When dismissed, the. en-
bassador bows, retires three PAGES.
bows again, retires another three
PAGES. bows third time, turns on his
heels and walks to the folding doors.
But 1t is felt that more polite methods
should obtain when the reigning SOW
ereign Is woman. To turn his back
Is to be discourteous, to walk back
ward is to resign a privilege. The em-
bassador retires sideways, like crab.
He keeps one eye on the sovereign and
with the other tries to see the door.
He thus shows politeness to the SOY.
ereign and at the same time retains
one of his privileges. AS the embassa-
dor is usually an old gentleman, often
short sighted. he sometimes fails to
reach the door and comes in collision
with the wall.
Another privilege Of ambassadors is
the right Of being ushered into the
royal presence through folding doors
both of which must be flung wide
open. No one except an ambassador
can claim this privilege. The most
any nonembassadoria person can ex-
pect is that one Of the leaves shall be
opened to him. The reason for this
privilege is not known. There are GER
tain irreverent suggestions that have
been made. but we prefer to be silent
with regard to them.
Another privilege. capable Of causing
great inconvenience, Is the embassa-
doris right Of admission to the SOW
ereign at any hour Of the day or night.

little bankrupt state could 60 down to

SAW THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Man Arrested at Miles City Who Says
He Supplied Them With Ammu-
nition

milton.
Referring to the escape of the
three men who held up and robbed
Great Northern train near Wagner, on
the Sd inst, the Miles City Journal
says: To persons acquainted with
the country to which the robbers fled
the brakes along the MissOuri-the
most surprising thing is that anybody
expected to catch the robbers there
with so few men, and the territory
south of them entirely unguarded.
Stock inspector w. d. Smith had
posse of men selected, several OF
whom are as we'll acquainted with the
region as men can be, but the induce
ment offered-$1OO to pay their ex-
penses-was so great that it paralyzed
their nerves. It was suspected early
in the game by such men as ex-
Sheriff Hawkins, Inspector Smith and
Sheriff Savage, who have done some
successful man hunting, that these
men had confederates who very posi-
bly, made trails and acted as blinds for
the real perpetrators. The crossings
along the Yellowstone were entirely
unguarded, which would have been
the first step taken here. 1t is the
judgment of those who know the
Missouri region than an army could
not have dislodged the robbers among
the canyons, where, as one man ex-
pressed it, you have to look twice
to see the sky" but unless they had
provisions for siege, which is hard
ly likely, they must needs get out,
and following the usual custom of
train robbers, they will next be heard
from in some southern hold-up, when
they will again fly north until finally
captured. There is no disposition here
to criticise those who have been en-
gagged in the chase, but under the cir
cumstances if the railroad company
was DESTROYS of catching them a
large force should have been employ
ed and operating over the territory
through which the criminals would in
all probability attempt to escape.
One man was arrested and examin-
Ell by Mr.. Smith on suspicion on July
Z, who gave the Ineligible name of
G. w. Scharrhorst and claimed that
he was on his way from Tombstone,
Ariz, to his ranch in Dakota, and
that he had been one of Roosevelt
rough riders. He described having
been visited at one of his camps nea,
Billings by Buck Cassidy and Tom
Jones and described the men accu.
rately and claimed that he gave them
200 rounds of ammunition. Having
no reason to hold him, he was allow
ed to go. He was heard of again yes
terday, as he stopped at the old E:
ranch on Mizpah, where, on being
questioned, he told his story Of hav
ing met the men mentioned. He stat
ed that he had come from Hills ranch
and had been "a hours on the road
| AS he was well mounted and the dis
lance was only 10 miles, it is evident
that he took rather circuitous route
1t could be possible that he was out
in the hills caching provisions for the
gang. if he belonged to them, as he
had ample opportunity.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESSES.

thrilling eel in China while Rew to
American life, has been in harmony
with its true spirit and best traditions,
! and in dealing with the results its pol
icy will be that of moderation and
fairness.
We face at this moment a most i'm
portant Question-that of the future
relations of the United States and
Cuba. With our near neighbors we
must remain close friends. The declar-
alton OF the purposes of this govern
ment in the resolution Oh april 20, 1898,
must be made good. Ever since the
evacuation of the island by the army
OF Spain, the executive with all prac-
ticable speed has been assisting its
people in the successive steps neces-
sary to the establishment of a free and
independent government prepared to
assume and perform the obligations of
international law which now rest up
on the United States under the treaty
of Paris. The convention elected by
the people to frame a constitution is
approaching the completion of its la
troll to the new government is of such
great Importance, involving an obliga-
ton resulting from our Intervention
and the treaty of peace, that am
glad to be advised by the recent act
of Congress Of the policy which the
legislative branch of the government
deems essential to the best interests of
Cuba and the United States.
The principles which led to our inter
yention require that the fundamental
law upon which the new government
rests should be adapted to secure a
government capable of performing the
duties and discharging the functions
of a separate nation, of observing its
international obligations of protecting
life and property, insuring order, safe
ty and liberty and conforming to the
established and historical policy of the
United States in it's relation to Cuba.
The peace which we are pledged to
leave to the Cuban people must carry
with it the guarantees of permanence.
We became sponsors for the pacifica-
ton of the island and we remain ac-
countable to the Cubans, no less than
to our own country and people, for
the reconstruction of Cuba as a free
commonwealth on abiding foundations
of right, justice, liberty and assured
order. Cur enfranchisement of the
people will not be completed until free

exalted position in the record which
tells how the great nations of the world
have ~endeavored to achieve and pre-
serve orderly freedom. No man can
render to his fellows greater service
than is rendered by him who, with fear
lessness and honesty, with sanity and
disinterestedness, does his life work as
a member of such a body. Especially
is this the case when the legislature
in which the service is rendered, is
a vital part in the governmental ma
chinery of one OF those world powers
to whose hands, in the course of all
ages, is intrusted a leading part in
shaping the destinies of mankind. For
veal or for woe, for good or for evil.
this Is true of Jul own mighty nation.
Great privileges and great powers are
ours and heavy are the responsible
ties that go with these privileges and
these powers. Accordingly, as we do
well or i'll, so shall mankind in the fu-
ture be raised or cast down. We be-
long to a young nation, already of
giant strength. yet whose present
strength is but a forecast of the power
that is to come. We stand supreme in
a continent, in a hemisphere, and east
and west we look across the two great
oceans towards the larger world-life
in which, whether we will or not, we
must take an ever-inereasing share.
And as, keen-eyed, we gaze into the
coming years, duties, new and old,
rise thick and fast TO confront us from

Cuba shall 'tbe a reality, not a name;
a perfect entity, not a hasty expert
ment bearing within itself the elements
of failure"
While the treaty of peace with Spain
was ratified on the sixth of February,
1899, and r%atifcations were exchanged
nearly two years ago, the Congress
has indicated no form of government
for the Philippine islands. 1t has, how
ever, provided an army to enable the
executive to suppress instruction, re-
store peace, give security to the inhab-
itants and establish the
Authority of the United States
throughout the archipelago. 1t has
authorized the organization of native
troops as auxiliary to the regular force.
1t has been advised from time to time
of the acts of the military and naval
officers in the islands of my action in
appointing civil commissions, of the in
| structions with which they were charg-
| ed, of their duties and powers, of their
| recommendations and of their several
| acts under executive commission, to-
gether with the very complete general
information they have submitted.
These reports fully set forth the con-
ditions, past and present, in the ISL
| ands, and the instructions clearly show
| the principles which will guide the
| executive until the Congress shall, as 1t
is required to do by the treaty, determ-
inc 'the civil rights and political stat

| Congress having added the senaction

possessed and exercised by the exec

leaving the executive the responsibility
for the government of the Philippines,

gun until order shall be restored
throughout the islands and as fast as
