How a Gallant Irish Regiment Took an

The leading regiment of our column

a quarter of a mile lower down, when

heavy musketry fire, and then saw

THE TSANG-PO.
In Several Ways the Most Remarkable
River in the World.

River in the World.
The TsangPo is in several respects
the most remarkable river in the
world. 1t is the highest of all
navigable streams, flowing for nearly a
thousand miles at an elevation of
from 1900 to $4,000 feet. During
the greater part of it's course it's cur
rent is sluggish, but for a hundred
miles or more the mighty river in it's
descent to the coast plain runs with
the speed of mountain torrent.
Though one of the largest of Central
Asian streams, it has never been
followed from it's source to it's mouth,
and until recently it was doubtful of
the two well-known rivers it was the
head waters. The attempts to solve
it's mysteries have been attended with
almost unparalleled heroism, endur-
ance, steadfastness and self-sacrice,
for the principal explorers of the
Tsang-Po have been animated, not as
those who sought the fountain spring
of the Nile, by the hope of the world S
applause at their success-that was
denied them-but for a simple daily
wage and the consciousness of loyalty
to duty.
The physical history of the Tsang-Po
is briefly this: It raises in the extreme
southwestern corner of Tibet close to
the source of the Gauges, the Indus
and it's great aff1uent, the Sutlej, at a
height of nearly $4,000 feet. Re-
ceiving the drainage of the slopes Of
the Himalayas and of little known
Tibetan range running parallel with
these mountains, it soon becomes a
stream wide and deep enough to be
navigable. There is a considerable
boat traffic upon it at an elevation but
little below the summit of Mont Blanc,
1t flows due east for a matter of eight
hundred miles. receiving numerous
large tributaries from both south and
north. and when near Lassa it is at
low water nearly a third of mile
wide and twenty feet deep; in flood
two miles wide and of unknown depth.
In longitude "a degrees east it makes
a sharp bend to the south and passes
through the Himalayas in course
known only to the savages who dwell
upon it's precipitous banks.
When last seen by an explorer, it $
at a height of from 5000 to II 900 feet,
but when it energies in Assam it IS
only 400 feet above the sea level.
From this point it pursues it's sluggish
way for another 500 miles as the
Brahmaputra to the Gauges and the
bay of Bengal. There has been long
controversy, into the details of which
it is not necessary to enter, as to
whether the Irawadi or the Brahma-
putra is the continuation of the Tsang-
Pc, Though there has been as yet no
distinct evidence, the last expedlent
of throwing in marked logs in Tibet
having failed, the general consensus ot
scientific opinion is in favor OF the
Brahmaputre, and the latest English
eaze9tteer describes it under this
name.
ut is hardly to be expected that
pure science will be much benefited
by the lifting of the veil which hangs
over this part of the rivers course.
Rut there can be little doubt that t
hides scenes of magnificent beauty
and grandeur which will thrill the
expectant world and give it new and
nobler conceptions of the sublim1ty OF
nature National Geographic Maga-

KILLED INSTANTLY.
Sudden Death OF Horace Young
at Cyanide.

The usual quiet town of Flor
ence was awakened to the fact
Saturday evening that Horace
Young had been killed at Cyanide
AT 5 O'Clock It was discovered that
the far room was ablaze and the
force was called upon to combat
the flames with hose and water.
While so doing Mr. Young, in
some manner came in contact with
live electric wire. The wire WAS
heavily charged, being of 500 volt
age, and caused his death almost
instantly. Usually wire with this
voltage is not considered powerful
enough to kill man, but this in
stance proved an exception. The
water is thought to have greatly
aided the electric force, it being ii
conductor for electricity.
There were several men working
with the flames and Bert Brown
Was knocked senseless for few
seconds by the shock. He rallied
in short time aud was able to
walk home.
Mr.. Young leaves wife and
two children and is mem ber of
the Woodmen of the World and
holds $1,000 policy in the order.
The work at the mill was not
interrupted on account of the
fatality.
The funeral will be held in the

be conducted by Rev. j. w. Neely.
Services at the grave will be held

1.-THE tariff is a question which remains
enigmatical to all" is the language i'm
puted to the German ambassador to

not only enigmatical, but so is the atti-
tude which those who stand for it occupy.

tagonism or be attended by more gen.
eraI popular interest The Republican ma
tional administration affects to stand for
and how far, if at all, it will be made to
operate as modification of the existing
high tariff, is unknown. The event will
prove whether the cry of reciprocity is
a mere party expedient, or whether the
party in power seriously contemplates
throwing down the high wall of tariff
duties so as to enable US to trade on
anything like equal terms with the other
commercial states.
The Buffalo address of the late presi-
dent sound well, but it was not speci-

principle that we could not as nation

views-of reciprocity are alike.
