At the young, unfearng sage.
There with lifted cross he came,
Breathing low the Sacred Name;

Fled in fury down the storm.
Over the isle his spirit went
Like fire across the armament.

Fell down withered before God!

Drove the snakes from brake and briar,
Hurting out the writhing brood

Mexico City, Jan. 1.-THE event of

had prolonged throughout the entire
morning their dilatory tactics. The
burden of their speeches was always
the same: I'VE are all in favor of The
Hague convention, but it must not pass
through the conference without discus

Mr. Buchanan of the United States,
Senior Macedoo of Mexico, and Senor
Bermejo of Argentine, made speeches
asking in turn "if we are all agreed,
what is there to discussT'
At the afternoon session the Chilean
delegates resumed their speech-makiig.

to reply. when n premonitory trepida-

assembly, and for nearly one minute
afterward the gilden hall of sessions

ROBBERS LOOT A MAIL CAR.
Kansas City Southern Train Held UP
in Indian Territory.

Fort Smith, Ark. Jan. 16.-The
south-bound Kansas City Southern
passenger train was ''held up last
night at IL o'clock half mile of Spiro,
/. r., by seven masked men. The eX-
press and mail car We're entered. The
local safe in the express car was
opened, but nothing secured from it
The robbers tried to open the through
safe, but failed. Then they rified the
mail car and it is said secured a guam
tity of registered mail.
The scene of the robbery is fifteen
miles from Fort Smith. A report to-
day from there says that United States
marshals are securing the country in
search of the robbers. Three miners
have been arrested and taken to Po-
teau, L. 7.
Railroad officials decline to state how
much booty was secured. 1t is stated,
however, that the robbers got away
with $1,000.
The train was regular passenger train
No. 1, which left Kansas City yester-
day at IL a IN. 1t was due at Spiro at

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
Government Forces Stronger on Land
but Fear Revolutionists' Ship.

Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 11.-Gen.
Mates, the revolutionary leaders, mas
ter at sea, for President Castro's fleet
does not dare attack the Libertador.
The government troops, however. watch
the coasts so well that the landing of
arms and ammunition is nearly impos-
sible. The only important successful
landing took place January 9th, near
Tucpan, where much ammunition and
geeral riera were safely debarked.
According to the last reports received
here regarding the whereabouts of the
Libertador, she was recently at the
Dutch island of Aruba.
She passed January 9th in view of
La Guayara. and accidentally carried
away the mast of n small schooner.
General Matos thereupon paid $50 to
the captain of the schooner and towed
her two miles to harbor.
The impression which pervails here
is that the revolution is not progress
ing. The difficulties encountered in
the attempts made to pass arms and
ammunition through the government
lines render the success Of General Ma
tos problematical.
Generals Mendoza and Fernandez,
the insurgent leaders, Notwithstanding
their lack of resources, are not yet
crushed.
The reports of uprisings in Guayana
and other points remain uncontirmed.

WEARING THE SWORD
EMBLEM OF AUTHORITY SANCTION
ED BY THE AGES.
Military Pomp and GLORY Would
Amount to Little without That Adorn-
ment-CaIled the Silent Teacher of
Patriotism.

For centuries, in armies, the sword
has been the emblem of authority. 1t
is sign that the man wearing it is an
officer and is on duty. The figures OF
his straps or his collar may show the
grade of his office, but the sword shows
without his telling it that he is on duty
and represents authority. Having the
sanction of hundreds of years as the
emblem of authority, what substitute
could be adopted to show that an Off
Ger is on duty? The patrolman has 8
club, which shows that he is on duty
would such badge be less cumber
some than the sword for military
officer?
There is reason to believe that fol
years to come the emblems of visible
authority like the sword will be need
ed. Every year legislatures are devils
ing schemes to keep up a well-disci
plined militia. but who of those having
experience would think of discipline,
and soldierly conduct without tn,

might be mistaken for an over-dresset
battalion of privates If their loini
were not begirt with the authorizing
sword.
From the earliest period of which
there is record the sword has been tn,
synonym of authority and power. II
was "a flaming sword which turned

Blizzard in the Northwest.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 17.-News
reached here to-day from Nelson, Brit

of three miners and the death of n
fourth from exposure in the mountains

of Dawson.
January 4th J. P. Stevens, w. G..

started across the mountains opposite
SLOGAN City to inspect claims. Before
night they became lost in drifts of soft
snow, seven feet deep on the mountain
top. They missed their way and spent
three days of torture caused by the ex-
treme cold and biting wind of the worst
blizzard on record in that section. The
fourth day Stevens, Walls and Thomas
managed to reach a camp and at once
sent back for Rockaway, who had been
left exhausted on the trail. BE was

Electric Signal to Protect Trains.

Rockford, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE Chicago
& Eastern Illinois railroad is prepar-
ing to install a system of electric sig
nails designed to prevent accidents.
The new device displays signal in
the cab of the locomotive. The track
is wired in blocks, the rail being used
as the conductor. When there is but
one train in block, the signal in the
cab will burn white. Should another
train touch the same block, the light
is instantly changed to red, which
means danger. (
The signal is not affected by snow or
sleet. or by wea ther of any kind, and
1t will do its work among maze of
switches and crossings, as well as on a
straight track.

The thieves answered this challenge
by themselves opening fire upon the
party, and this was followed by fu-
silade of firing, fifty or more shots be-
ing exchanged. At least two of the ore
thieves are said to have had two re
volvers each. 1t was IL running fight
between the two parties, the men on
both sides hugging the walls of the
Slopes, firing from behind rocks in the

they might escape. That they did es-

INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS.
These Little Animals Deemed Dainty
Dish by the Navajos.

These Little Animals Deemed Dainty
Dish by the Navajos.
Denver. Dec. 1S.-The Navajo Indian,
while he cannot be prevailed upon to
eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat
prairie dogs. Large communities OF
these small animals abound on the
western plains, and the Navajo has re-
sorted to many ingenious methods for
trapping his coveted dainty. One OF
them is by the aid of bit of mirror
placed at the entrance of a burrow.
When the animal ventures from his
bedroom. deep under ground. he sees
a familiar image mocking him at the
front door and he hurries out to con-
front the impudent intruder, when he
is pinned to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method Is what
the Indians call the rain hunt. AS soon
as the steady downpour of summer
rains begins every Navajo who can
walk repairs to the prairie dog village
with hoes, sharp sticks, or any digging
implement. With these they hollow
out trenches that will lead the storm
water into as many burrows as posi-
ble Soon a little stream is pouring
down each small home and the inmate,
much disturbed, pops out to see what
the matter can be- Many of the ami
mails remain under ground until they
are drowned and their bodies float to
the surface.
After such a hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured, there is feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.
