A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of n Hunter
with nm Indian Hand.


One OF the most remarkable instances
of the escape of white man from the
Indians was that of John Golfer. IA
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
in question he and his companion were
surrounded by 600 savage warriors.
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention OF saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport Of put
ting him TO the torture or Mt least of
playing with him as n cat plays with n
mouse. The chief asked him IL he
could run. He said, mot much"
He was released and told to save his
life If he could.
Golfer darted away nt high speed,
and most of the 600 savages set of aft
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as n runner,
and his practice now stood him In good
stead. He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the yells of
his pursuers lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred of clothing
from his body, and the plain was COW
cred with prickly pears, so that his un-
protected feet were lacerated mt every
stride.
Half way across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on
and soon realized that one of his pur-
suers was nearing him. He redoublcd
his efforts, and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe of trees was near, but
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by sudden i'm
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and faced
the savage with outstretched arms.
The Indian was so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This was Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear and. plnning his antagonist to
the ground. ran on.
Other savages came on, fiercer than
before at the death of their comrade,
but Golfer reached the trees. plunged

and swan to pile of driftwood that
had lodged. He dived beneath 1t and
stuck his head up between two logs
covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours. but failed to find
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily they did
not fire 1t, as he feared they would.
AT last they went away. Then Golfer
swan out and fed through the forest.
Seven days he went on, living on
roots and berries, with no clothing, un-
til at last he reached a trading post on
the Bighorn river. He never fully re-
covered from the effects of this terrible
eXperience.-Youth's Companion.

Historically, Mazeppa was hetman
Of the Cossacks. He was born of no.
BILE Polish family In Podolla and be-
came page In the court of Jan Cas-
mir, king of Poland. While in this ca
paclty he intrigued with Therlsia, the
young wife of Podonan count, who
discovered the amour and had the
young page lashcd to wild horse and
turned adrift. The horss rushed In
mad fury and dropped down dead In
the Ukraine, where Mazeppa was re-
leased by Cossack family. who nurs-
ed him carefully In their own hut. In
time he became secretary to the het-
man and at the death of the prince
was appointed his successor.
Peter l much admired his energy of
character and created him prince Of the
Ukraine. but In the wars with Sweden
Mazeppa deserted to Charles MI and
fought against Russia at the battle Of
Poltava. After the loss of this battle
Mazeppa fled to Valentla and then to
Bender. Some say he died n natural
death and others that he was put to
death for treason by the car. Lord
Byron makes Mazeppa tell his tale to
Charles after the battle of Poltnva.

st. Petersburg, April IGN. Sipia-

when the assassin, who had driven I'D

Duke Sergius. The minister stretched
out his hand to take the document.
when the assassin fired five shots at
him. Three of the bullets struck M.
Slpiaguine and one wounded his serv-
ant. The assassin did not resist arrest.
He said his name was Balsahanstt.
that he was a student at Kieff, where
ne had been sentenced to compulsory
military service for participating in
the riots of 1901. He said he had
subsequently been pardoned, but he
had not been reinstated at the univer.
sity and that he therefore revenged
himself upon M. Sipiaguine.
The minister was taken to the hos.
pltal where he died in one hour.
M. Sipiaguine belonged to a distin
gulshed Russian family. He was a re-
dictionary in politics and incurred the
enmity of the students by UNFOLDING
the views of M. Pobiedonstevef the
chlet procurator Of the holy synod and
py supporting the most severe meas
ures for the repression of all liberal

A previous attempt was made to
shoot him about year ago.

ADOPTS TWO AMENDMENTS.
Debate on Chinese Exclusion Bill Ends
in the Senate.

Debate on Chinese Exclusion Bill Ends
in the Senate.
Washington, April 16.-The debate
on the Chinese exclusion bill was
practically concluded and voting or
the bill and amendments will begin at
I p. m. By general consent vote
was taken on two important amend
NETS offered by Mr.. Fairbanks of Indi-
ana, striking out the definition as to
Chinese teachers and students and
they were agreed to without division.
These changes we're made with
view to conciliating some of the op-
position to the bill, which had been di-
rected to the rigid exclusion of stu
dents and teachers and the unneces-
sary inconvenience this would impose
on the educated Chinese classes COM
ing to this country. The debate was
participated in by Senators Heitfield
OF Idaho, Penrose of Pennsylvania and
Turner of Washington, in favor of the
bill, and Senators Pritchard of North
Carolina and Spooner of Wisconsin in
opposition.
Mr.. Turner made the assertion that
politics had crept into the bill and
most Of the members of the majority
we're opposed to the bill This brought
a sharp rejoinder from Mr.. Spooner,
who maintained that politics had not
figured in the discussion and that the
opposition to the present bill was due
entirely to it's conflict with the treaty
and not because of any opposition to
Chinese exclusion, which was an estab-
lished doctrine of the government.

Station Wrecked by Burglars.
Eveleth, MIMI, April 16.-At 10 p.

stroyed by fire and one prisoner was
burned to death, being locked in the
Jail, frame building. The fire orig.
mated in some unaccountable manner
on the inside of the building and the
inmates cries for help were heard for
some time before the fire was discov-
cred. He was a Finnish miner and was
intoxicated. He had only just been
placed in the jail by the Fayal consta-
ble
About a. m. burglars made an at
tempt to enter the safe in the station
of the Duluth, Missabe and Northern
railroad. They introduced a charge
of nitroglycerin in the safe and few
minutes later there was a report that
woke up the entire town and shattered
windows in houses for blocks around.
When the crowd got there the station
lay in ruins, and the debris had caught
fire from the stove. The flames we're
extinguished, and then an unsuccess-
full search was made for the safe. It
was too big to carry away and it is
thought it must have been blown into
pieces too small to be located. No
trace whatever could be found of the
burglars, and it is, not known whether
they shared the fate of the safe or
made their escape.

Mysterious Deaths From Asphyxiation
in New York.
= New York, April 16.-Four persons
were found dead in the living apart
ments of Esther Kohen, widow liv-
ing on Third avenue. They had been
killed by inhaling gas, and so far the
police have given no opinion as to
whether or not the deaths we're the re-
suit of accident. The names of the
dead are: Esther Kohen, aged so;
Henry Kohen, her son, aged 23; Lena
Kohen, her daughter, aged II; Edith
Flow, friend of the Kohens, aged 16.
The tragedy evidently occurred dur
ing the night for the Kohens and their
visitor had not been seen all day.
Henry was in the bicycle business and
did not come to the store all day. A
partner of his went to the apartments
and was told that an odor of gas had
been coming from the apartments all
day. The door was broken open and
the four found dead in the room. All
the windows, doors and fanlights
had been tightly closed. Two un-
lighted gas jets had been turned on
in the parlor where Henry lay.

point. H.
Fully two score brokers were active
in the buying and selling of Southern
Railway common. About half the
room traders and "free lances" took
hand in the game at one time or an
other. Harris, Gates & Co. were re-
ported to have bought and sold 100000
shares in the course of the day.
That the Southern Railway company
will have considerable to say as to
the future of the" Louisville and Nash
vile became the conviction of most
Wall street men before the close of
the day. President Spencer, when
asked as to the future relations of
Southern and Louisville and Nash
vile, made this statement: -'r !. :,g:>
"The Southern railway had no inter-
est in the purchase and it will have
no interest in it at any time in the
future. Louisville and Nashville will
not pass to the Southern railway
No definite announcement as to
what disposition. Morgan & Co. may
make of Louisville and Nashville is
looked for until the pending legal
entanglements growing out Of the
Great Northern-Northern Pacific mer-
ger are settled. Should the Southern
railway acquire majority interest in
the Louisville and Nashville, it is as
sumed that the Illinois Central rail-
road, which parallels Louisville and
Nashville territory and is dominated
by Hartman interests, will receive
some very material concessions.
That the Illinois Central desires ma
jority interest in the Louisville and
Nashville is not generally believed.

ALL DANGER OVER.
House Leaders Believe, Cuban Reel
procity Bill Will Pass.

washington, April 16.-With the
close OF the Cuban reciprocity debate
IN the house the leaders announced
that all danger of the bill being weight
ed down with undesirable amendments
was over and they felt assured the bill
would pass in the shape in which it
came from the committee. AS the bill
IN It's present form is bound to COM
mand three-fourths of the vote of each
SIDE OF the house, it's passage was GER
tain II 1t successfully passed the stage
when amendments could be offered.
The only cause of anxiety heretofore
has been the possibility that enough Re
publlcans would join with the Demo-
Gratis to override the chair and tack
onto the bill an amendment to abol-
1sh the dlfferentials on refined sugar.
All the energies of the leaders have
been directed, therefore, to bringing
pressure to bear on the recalcitrant
Republicans to induce them to re-
Train from aiding this plan, and at the
close OF the session of the house it
was announced that the entire dele.
cations from Michigan and California
who constitute the head and front of
the opposition, had agreed not to vote
to override the ruling of the chair.
Mr.: Watson -Qnd), also acting as
whip for the majority, does not believe
over a dozen Republicans at the out
side will join the Democrats on this
proposition. 1t would require more
than 20 Republican votes to place on
the bill the amendment which might
endanger its ultimate passage, as sew
eral Democrats, it is understood, also
have declared their intention to stand
by the ruling of the chair.
All unusual effort was made by Mr..
Payne to secure an agreement to limit
the general debate. When the house
adjourned there remained IS members
who desire to speak.
