Europeans. Great Britain, with the
Boer war on its hands, was unable to
furnish sufficient protection to the
friendly or neutral natives, with the
result that thousands of them joined
the mad mullah, being given the choice
of doing so or being raided. In March,
1900, he attacked an Abyssinian ex-
pedition of ! 500 men sent against him,
and although he lost $500 men and re-
treated, the ferocity of his attack in
spired Menelek's troops with such a
dread of him that no attempt was
made 70 pursue him. Three years ago
he had 5000 followers, with only 60
rifles; now he has 10000 men, a good
percentage of them armed with rifles
secured in raids on caravans.
The mad mullah is so deeply re-
ligious that half the soldiers in his
camp are engaged in prayer when they
are~not drilling or attending to their
camp duties. The natives are abso-
lutely fearless Of death and believe
that defat under the mad mullah is i'm
possible and hold to the view that
heaven is the reward of all those who
die by the bullets of the hated foe.
Great Britain is in no humor for an
other war. The boer campaign cost
$500 600. 600 and is not over yet. OF
course, India has an enormous army
of native troops, Differed by English h.
men, but 10 send them away would be
to invite another uprising and the old
1nutiny is not forgotten.
Enough English blood has been
spilled already, the English think, but
the mad mullah mutters and Great
Britain shudders.
Personally the mad mullahis an ex-
traordinary man. He, while despis-
ing the civilization Of the etFete west,
has secretly made d study Of every
invention the news of which came TO
his own city. 1t is rumored that among
the prisoners taken years ago by this
queer chieftain is an English officer,
who was, as most English officers are,
"A graduate Of Sandhurst which cor
responds to our West Point. The story
is that this man has taught not only
his own language 10 the mad mullah,
but has shown him the mysteries of
telegraphy, the telephone and other
things, including the science Of mill,
tary strategy and that Of arms in gen
eral.
The mullah is personally so strong
that he is said 10 be able to break an
iron bar in two al easily as the average
man snaps a walking stick He has a
host of soothsayers and priests about
him, whom he consults on all possible
occasions.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Peter Power
who sued ]. P. Morgan and the big
railroad interests, thereby upsetting
for months the whole financial world.
and who says he owns 200 shares of
Northern Pacific stock that he
wouldn't sell even at $1,000 a share, is
being sued for $50 by B. P. Everett,
a lawyer of 4 Warren street.
The suit is brought before Judge
Iierney in Second district court, of
Bronx. Mr.. Everett says the money
was borrowed on May 1 last on the
plea that Power was going to get mar
ried and wanted to buy a wedding
ring. He did not get married. Case
is to be heard next week.
Power lives at 261 West Ninety
ninth street. He refused to be seen
tonight. A friend of his claimed that
the whole thing was a trumped-up
charge, and declared that Power was
only a clerk and had really nothing
to do with the Northern Securities
company, except to be put forward as
Il dummy.
He was positive that the railroad
had been laying for Power and that
the present suit was for revenge Ev-
eTett, when told this laughed heartily
and said it was absurd. Power bor-
rowed money as stated in affidavit and
had avoided paying it, or attempting
to pay.

Special to The Globe.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, July 3.-For
the past two weeks this district has
been twice isolated from the world
by invasions OF caterpillers, that SER
iously interfered with freight and pas
senger traffic.
The little foliage left in the vicinity
has been denuded by the pest, but the
greatest loss was in the movement of
trains, all kinds of traffic coming to a
standstill until the vast inroad. of in
sHcts took themselves across the rail-
road lines. AS they were not speedy
in their movements business was sus-
pended. 1t was useless to attempt to
handle trains with the AID of sand, as
each turn of the drivers required al
most a full box before the wheels
could bite the rails
Any attempt to run down the great
grades would have been too risky for
even the men on this division. who
are accustomed to pretty steep de-
scents, as the locked wheels would

INTOXICATED STEERS
MAKE ROUGH HOUSE
Twenty two Dead Ones and Numerous
Broken Legs Is the FnaI
Round Up.

CHICAGO. July 3.-Maddened and
half intoxicated from alcohol used in
"distillery slop" fed to them, big herd
of cattle stampeded in the stock yards
today.
More than a score of the animals
met death in the rush. Scenes were
enacted that for terror and blood made
old stockmen and cowboys turn their
backs. One man nearly lost his life.
The herd stampeded numbered more
than 600 of the kind that are known
as "distillery CATTLE" and are fattened
on the refuse from liquor mills.
A closed gate caused the troubles,
and before 1t was over twenty-one ami
mails lay in a heap, some impaled on
horns, others with necks broken and
others frantically climbing over the
squirming mass, while some of the
survivors leaped fences and escaped to
various parts of the yards.
A dead wall of cattle finally brought
the rush of animals to a halt. The
herd only stopped when the pressure
behind gave way because of the les
sening numbers.
