Hero VI Pekin Wins HOnOrS.

Thirty new cadets were admitted to the
Military Academy last week. Out of the
ferty-eight who reported the week before
for the entrance examination, forty met all
the requirements of the examiners, but for
ten of them there were no vacancies, These
ten were alternates whose principals had
also passed and were admitted. Six failed
mentally and two physically. 1t was the
largest PERCENTAGE of successful candidates
that has reported here in years.
Among those who were admitted we're
Calvin P. Titus and Clarence K. Lyman.
The former was appointed to cadetship
at large by President Mckinley, in recog.
milton of his bravery in being first to scale
the wall at Pekin during the attack of the
allied forces on that CITY He was at that
time bugler in the Fourteenth United
States Infantry. MIR. Titus passed very
credtable examination and telegraphed the
President Tonight of his success.

Gigantic Railroad Project
Two Worlds To Be Linked.

A gigantic trans-Alaskan railroad project
is to be undertaken by French, Russian
and American capitalists within the next
few years, according to plans outlined by
l.. De Lobel, French mining engineer,
who left Paris recently and started north
on the steamer Dolphin, enabling MIN to
reach the Klondike exactly twenty days
out from Paris.
NJ. De Lobel says plans are being formed
to organize a company having capita
stock of 100000. This company will
build nearly four thousand miles of railroad
besides spanning Behring Sea with immense
steam ferries. The company is to have
the backing of influential bankers in Paris
St. Petersburg, Moscow and New York.
The United States government ylll bt
asked for a land grant in the Yukon coun
try, and M. De Lobel declares t-a II tht
attitude of the American government ii
favorable, showing that foreigners will b'
fully projected, there is no doubt his PLAN
will be turned into reality.
On his return from Alaska M. De Lobe
will visit Washington aud confer witt
President Mckinley He will ask tee Chic
Executive to recommend to Congress tn
granting of the concessions wanted.

Porto Rico Stamp Taxes.
Methods Of Collection Considered.

The regulations for the collection of inter.
nal.revenue taxes on Porto Rican products
were given out last week.
They provide that parties in Porto Rico
intending to ship to other parts Of the Unit.
ted States any articles taxed under our in
ternal.revenue laws may procure the neces
sary stamps from this country and afix
them before shipment, thus reducing the
delay to a minimum. Where the goods
arrive unstamped, however, their nature
will appear upon the manifest rendered by
the master of the vessel to the collector Of
the port, who must then notify the local co.
Hector Of internal revenue, who will have the
goods sent to warehouse like ordinary un-
claimed goods, and Kept there till the owner
or consignee provides stamps for them. In
the case of distilled spirits, also, the gauging
and weighing must be done by United
States officers before the goods are assessed
for taxation, says New York paper.
Some embarrassments attend this pro-
gramme, owing to the fact that Porto Rico
has not been constituted an internal.revenue
district or attached to any already existing;
but with the cooperation of the customs SER
vice Commissioner Yerxes expects to get
along till Congress directs that some other
process be put into operation.

The Kaiser May Resent ]
His Flag Was Dishonorqd.

Kaiser Wilhelm's wrath may descend bor
on the United States of Colombia, in punish
ment for what he is likely to deem fagrant
insult to bis country's flag. Not only did
the officials of the little South American
republic on July IL forcbly detain a vesse
flying the German colors, but they dragged
from her deck, to case in prison, passenger
~ho had wrapped the flag about him, and
who asserted it protected him from arrest on
a political charge. In the struggle the flag
was torn to tatters and was trampled under
foot by the Colombian soldiers.
The prisoner thus taken was Colonel Abel
Nurillo, secretary to General Rafael Uribe.
UriDe, soho for thirty years has been The
leader of the revolutionary party in Colon
bia. The General was in this city recently,
but disappeared, and it is believed he went
back TO his own country. So did his secre-
tary, and it was understood he went as an
emisaary of peace.

Exciting Man Hunt.
Suspects Under Arrest.

Seven suspects are under arrest in con.
nection with the hold.up of the Baltimore

near Miller's Station, Ind, when masked
men uncoupled the engine and two mail
cars, one of which tney blew up with dyna'
mite. and then left without securing any
booty. Three of the prisoners acere found
about camp FIRE east of Milier's, Iud., moi
tar from the scene of the hold up. The othel
four aoere taken at Albion, Ind.
As soon as the attempted robbery was re
ported to the railroad officials in Chicago 6
special train was made up and fast rur
made to the scene OF the hold.up. The trair
carried officials of the road, special detecti
yes, and officers of the Chicago police de
partment. Bloodhounds were secured from
Long Beach to aid in the search, but dit
not readily take the trail owing to the OF
soa led condition of the track. A reward o
$500 has been offered by the superintendent
of the road for any information that vii
lead to the arrest of the bandits

BIG BEARS IN ALASKA.
Beasts That Are as Fierce as tbs
Grizzly and as Swift as the
Horse.

DR.. William Lord Smith, of Worces.
ter and Boston, lately returned from
kadiak island, on the Alaskan coast,
where he passed several months hunt.
ing the big bears of the island. He
brought home with him She skin of a
6O0-pounder, reports Worcester
(Mass.) correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The kadiak bear is the largest mem.
Der of the bear family. According to
DIR. Smith, it is not grizzly, although
1t closely y resembles the silver tip of the
Rocky mountains. 1t has the grizzly
head. 1t has been reputed to grow to
enormous size, even to weight Of
1000 pounds, but DR.. Smith was un-
able to get evidenceFhat it exceeded
1,200 pounds, even in autumn, when
very fat, ready for it's long winter
sleep. The fur, when in its prime, is
rich brown and very thick, but in the
spring and early summer it is rather
gray than brown.
The Worcester hunter was accom-
panied by Boston friend during his
first few weeks on Kadiak. Their first
days hunting brought them a 625-
pound bear, which fell to the rifle of
the Boston man, the two having tossed
a coin for the shot. The only other
bear they got was shot by DIR. Smith
on almost the last day of his hunting
in the middle of July, more than two
months after his arrival on the island.
1t was about 10:30 p. M, which was
dusk in that latitude. The doctor and
native had followed the beast, and
got within 80 feet of her. She was
mother with cub along, and was fish
ing in the shallow waters of little
river,
The Kadiak bear is fish eater, and
this particular bear was in clover, for
the dog salmon were running up
stream in water only few inches deep.
She reached with her great paw armed
with claws more than three inches
long, and with a quick sweep, tossed
the salmon to the shore, where she
killed and ate them.
DR.. Smith believes that the Kadiak
bear almost equals the grizzly in fierce
ness, but he holds that neither bear is
nearly so dangerous to hunt as their
reputation would indicate. Their eye
sight is poor, and they seldom see the
hunter, and, unless wounded and corr
nered, they prefer to run rather than
fight. The Kadiak bear has the speed
of fa ST horse nr Sn,i h l.,v I,pta1
big game in Africa and has killed lion,
elephant, and rhinoceros, hunting on
foot, but he has never seen any wild
beast travel with such speed as the
kadiak bear. AS for the danger, he
would much prefer to shoot Kadiak
bear than any of the big cats, so far
as the risk of life is concerned.

CHAMBERLAIN'S ORCHID.
In the Opinion of WOrkingman 1t
Was Nothing But a "Tater
Blossom"

Mr.. Joseph Cham mberlain's love for the
orchid is well known, and is respon-
sible for the following, says Pearson's
Weekly: During the progress of po-
litical meeting lately in the provinces,
at which Mr.. c. spoke, an old man of
the laboring class pushed his way to
the front and asked of an old acquaint-
ance:
(Which is he?"
"Who?"

SALT LAKE BATHING PERILS.
Many People Drowned by Being
ChOked with the Evaporated
Brine.

II have never seen the Atlantic or the
have had some experience with salt
water, nevertheless, said George Y.
Russell, of Park City, Utah, to Wash
ington Post man. He is an official of
the great silver mine near Park City,
which extends deeper than any other
in the world.
salt lake is a remarkable sheet OF
water in many ways, and bathing in it
possesses features which are unique.
1t is very invigorating and refreshing
to be sure, but it takes some time to
become accustomed to the extraordi-
nary buoyancy of the water. 1t is
quite impossible to sink or to drown
in the lake, but many people have
been killed by the water. When there
is breeze and spray is dashed upon
bathers, the water is so densely inn
pregnated with salt that the liquid por-
tion evaporates very quickly and leaves
deposit of salt on the skin.
son several occasions people have
drifted out while bathing or been
wrecked and thrown overheard and
afterward found dead on top of the
water, choked to death by the accumu-
lation of salt in their mouths and nos
trils. Ordianry salt water bathing,
a. discovered to-day, is very different
from that in the Salt lake. / learned
that / could enjoy saltwater bathing
at Chesapeake beach, and took a trip
there. 1t is certainly very pleasant to
bathe in water that is salt, but not so
salt as in Utah. But the accommoda-
tions for the bathers at Salt lake far
surpass, so / am told, anything in
America"
