The Americans did not draw their swords. but they rode with the Gard du Corps one of the household regiments and the emperors bodyguard. This charge was the climax of the maneu vers
 About 5000 horsemen, lancers, cuiras- siers and dragons. fell upon the flank of the retreating blues" defending army, capturing thirty of the latters guns and 1000 of it's infantry. The cavalry started at daylight, made a twelve mile curve and at about half past 8 swept over rolling meadows and upon the enemy's forces, which had been theoretically disorganized by heavy infantry attack. The 5000 cavalrymen made frontage of mile and half, and in the sunlight over the open country they rushed at a hard gallop upon the artillery and infantry, which did not cease firing, until the horsemen were near at hand.
 When the cavalry were within hun- dred yards, the infantry quickly formed in close platoon groups, which the horsemen broke up, galloping be- tween the groups and the guns.
 Several horses fell dead.
 The emperor, mounted on q white Arab horse, directed the movement and at the finish galloped ahead as reck- lessly as any trooper. The empress was present on horseback

 Texas Petroleum Interests Suffer a
 Heavy Loss. < BEAUMONT, Tex, Sept. 12. The oil field is threatened with entire destruc- tion.
 A fire started early last evening fin some waste oil along the Texas and Sa- bine tracks and burned about sixty feet of trestle. This was got under control, and it WIS believed that all danger had passed, but in the mean while the fire in some way had been communicated to the field, and several huge settling tanks containing thou sands of barrels of petroleum have al- ready exploded, and others are report ed as being in the direct line of the fire, which has spread over wide area al ready The ground is saturated with oil, and there is no chance for stopping the progress of the flames. The fire is spreading rapidly, and it is believed that the whole field will be ignited.
 A telephone message from Gladys. which is the station at the oilfield, says the whole of the Keith-Ward tract, em- bracing several acres and containing a laTge nuluUSI Ul WCiiS, hoo DCtu DuhAceA over, and it is believed that some of the wells have caught fire, though this is not as yet positively determined, as no one can approach to find out.
 At l o'clock this morning the big tanks belonging to the Higgins com pany were burning.
 A statement issued shows that there are 40 producing wells in the field, some of which are buried under earth to safeguard against fire.
 It is reported that two men have been seriously burned, but this is not con firmed.

JEALOUS OF LETTERS.
Washington Society Piqued at Dis
ttnctton Shown by Roosevelt.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Mrs. Levi u. Letter
and her two daughters are guests at the
White house too frequently to suit Wash
ington,s elite The social set who not only
ASPIRE to but claim association with the
presidential family are especially pfqued
and they ask: Why were the Letters In
yited to the cabinet dinner? Why have
they been invited behind the line at both
ladies' days and at the New Years re-
ceptions? Why are they always at the
White house on every occasion OF an Of
fetal or personal function?'
On the night following Miss Roosevelt's
debut ball the Letters We're honored by
the presence of the debutante at dinner
given at their home. OF course, the Lett
crs We're at the debutante ball, but 1t was
somewhat startling that the honor of first
entertaining the debutante at dinner
should have been accorded them.
There is also much dissatisfaction among
the general official set because of the
prominence given private entertainments
The fact is Interpreted to mean an early
change in the complexion and personnel
of the official world here. Few of the Of
ficials are among the presidents former
associates He was always more or less
uncongenial to the conservative and staid
people whom President Mckinley gath
cred around him. His methods and short
cuts to effect his purposes did not recon-
mend Mr.. Roosevelt to their affections,
and now that his favors from the White
house are lavished in other quarters there
is a great cutlery

EuBONlC PLAGUE.
The Disease Has Been in Hong Kong
for a Decade.
Mercury. 1T is no,

Shanghai Mercury: 1t is now fully
six years since the arrival in IIinghau,
on the Fuhkien coast, of that most
guest. the bubonic plague.
We had heard of its steady approach
from Annoy, south of us, for two or
been keeping us Informed about 1t
when IL was commonly spoken of as
the Hong Kong plague, where 1T was
supposed to have originated. But the
world has since learned that the people
of Hong Kong We're not sinners ABOVE
all the Asiatics, that they should have
been the first victims of this scourge
of God to make filthy humanity clean
up. Hong Kong has had the plague
more or less severely for ten years be-
cause it is so near the China coast, and
the hinterland of this colony has been
the native heath whence this worlds
terror sailed forth upon its tour Of
conquest. Each year we have sup
posed would be the last. We have been
told that three years would finish the
visit and the unlimited guest would
take his departure. But such has not
been the case. Not only is he still
here, but age does not enfeeble him,
nor diminish his thirst for human life.
The disease is more fatal than ever ana
no less widely spread. The plan of let
ting this enemy of mankind die of OLD
age is not fulfilling the expectations
of its friends 1t looks as though hui
manity might die first. 1t is a common
thing to hear of q whole household
perishing within few days or per-
haps leaving one or two survivors. No
attempt is made at isolation of pa
tients nor disinfecting houses. People
run away from it to neighboring VIII
lagos, only to carry the disease with
them Streets still reek in filth and in
fected clothes are sold at the pawn

THE scRAPBooK HABIT.
Many Phases That the Fancy of Col
iaefore Take

Boston transcripts: With all the other
epdenics present and threatening, there
runs along that OF keeping a scrapbook.
Almost every man, women and child has
it in some stage or other, for there are
mary stages. Some never get beyond the
first--that of buying the best book to be
found and slowing away loosely in 1T a
bundle of clippings to be pasted in at the
first opportunity. The opportunity never
comes, really, but just threatens to set in
over, time ore who has passed through
. succeeding stage tells of his experience
Some persons again let their scraps ac-
cumulate. and have one happy season of
FASTING; while others paste from day to
day, almost from hour to hour, the sub
iects suitable for this preservation pro-
cess.
There is no end to the variety of
things that may compose scrapbook. 1T
may be a collection of ones own effu-
soms published CT refused such honor, or
it may be simply newspaper pictures or
monographs, or hotel letterheads, or SOU
venir postal cards, or dance orders, or
menus, dramatic criticisms, or book re-
views, or rise to the dignity of a collection
of opinions on the Chinese situation or
tie constitutional convention. Some are
capable of keeping as many scrapbooks as
there are subjects for them, and thereby
brary, to be consulted once IN n decade on
rainy days by the compiler, and TO be
thrown out into the dust heap when the
compilcr's heirs and assigns are faced
with the question of what they shall do
with it.
Perhaps one heir and assign In a mill
ion will have among his emotional assets
Il fonlness and respect for anything
which is evidence of the deceased COM
pliers handiwork and so cherish the
co!lection; but the percentage of folk SO
fine grained is not larger than this. AS
this rare person is not of the kind to live
long probably his heir will be sure to re-
gard the whilom treasure as rubbish. This
sad fact of the American average is rath-
er worth Thinking on by all the scrap
book makers as they set about task
that they fondly and foolishly tell fancy

all been done in few short weeks.
They had registered their claims In
1 DNea, but there was considerable doubt
whether they were located in American
I or British territory, as the boundary
line was not exactly known. This, how
ever. had been fairly explained to the
| purchasers who declared their willing

We'll afford to do, for they had bought
the claims for about one-quarter their
actual value. and were we'll aware OF
the fact. They had only to register
them in Dawson also to make them
selves safe.
Their progress was necessarily slow.

but large amount of gold as we'll.
Where the treil was very rough the
men We're forced to dismount at times,
so that 1t was nearly night on the sec

piece of woods where Hank Bowers and
his rascally confcderates were hidden.
Taylor was leading the way as they
reached the first trees, where already
the lengthening shadows We're stretch
ing across the trail. The others were
struggling along behind Them while
Tom and Clara Avery rode side by side
in the rear.
In fact this had already become his
usual place, and his devotion was so
apparent that the others had come to
regard it as a foregone conclusion that
the young couple had met their fate In
each other.
Taylor was some ten yards ahead of
his party when suddenly man hur-
ried out of the woods at his left and
came directly toward him, shouting:
Stranger! Hold on"
Checking in his horse, Taylor allowed
the man to reach hts horses side and
then exclaimed.

want?"
BY this time the rest of the party had
reached the spot and halted.
