THE KING SLEPT WE'LL.

London, June 30. The official bulle.
tin l0a m. says: His Majesty slept
well. Dressing of the wound gives
much distress, but there is no bad
symptom of any kind. " Doctors now
hopeful of passing Wednesday with
out untoward symptoms. If they sue
coed the King will then be quite out
of danger and well on way toward
convalescence.
London, June 30 - The following
official announcement was made at
Buckingham Palace this afternoon
1.-THE King was lifted to special
couch yesterday for five hours and
was much benefited by the change.
The Queen is in constant attendance
and the King occasionally sees his
children but the interviews are very
short as the utmost quiet is enforced.
The King sees no correspondence and
is not approached on matters of state
or business. The sufferers courage
and patience call for greatest admira-
ton, His wound which is of consid-
cradle depth is dressed at least twice
daily from the bottom as it is essential
that it should heal from the bottom.
The process of dressing causes consid-
cradle pain which is borne with great
fortitude Temperature of the King S
room is kept down by electric fans
which have proved of great value.
Drs. Laking, Barlow and Trevers have
not left the palace since the operation
was performed except for an occa-
sional hour.

when the resolution offered several
days ago by Mr.. Bailey of Texas, call
ing on the secretay of State for all the
papers in the case of Eilenberg VS..
Scott, including all communications
sent to or received from the American
ambassador to Mexico, was laid before
the Senate. Mr. Bailey said he had
encountered such delay in a refusal
that afternoon by the State department
as had forced him to conclude that
the officials of the department
were either grossly incompetent or
shamefully indifferent to the rights
of an American citizen in foreign
land" To all of the accusations made
against the State department by Sen
ator Bailey Senator Beverage took
exception and the result ended, as
Charley White would probably decide
slightly in favor of Bailey.

LIVELY FIGHTING IN HAYTI.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 30. -
There was much fighting here Satur-
day, and great excitement prevails.
Admiral Killick commander of the
Haytien fleet, disembarked further
detachment of troops and a large
quantity of ammunition at four o'clock
this morning for the further pro-
lection of General Firmin, one of the
candidates for the presidency of the
republic. Since six O'Clock this morn
ing there have been several lively en-
gagements between the men from the
fleet and the Revolutionists from the
north
At the moment of filing this dis
patch the foreign consuls, under the
protection of their various flags, were
with General Firmin and about to
embark on the government gunboat
Crete y. Pierot. They were under a
rather heavy fire and in considerable
danger. The foreign residents of this
port are at present exposed to the
lawlessness and savagery of the COM
batants.
Deep regret is expressed that no
warship of foreign power is in the
harbor at present to afford protection
to foreign residents. Great excite
ment reigns here.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

One of the highest and noblest ten
denotes of modern civilization is evil
denced by its pleadings for kindness
to the dumb animals which Provi-
dence created for the pleasure, the
profit, and the protection of man.
Be it said to the honor of our in
stincts, our education, and our count
ry, the instances of wanton cruelty to
animals, such as arise from the dark
passions of a diabolical mind, or the
lack of sympathy of coarse grained,
sordid nature, are comparatively
rare. Yet there exists a large class
of cases of cruelty to animals that
arises from ignorance of the effect of
certain modes of treatment, and an
under estimation of the degree of sen
sibility of the animal.
However, the Humane Society is
the same in both cases, the prevention
of cruelty, no matter what form it
takes, or what its origin. But the
remedy is different. In the one case,
the Society must rescue the animal
and punish the offender; in the 9TH
er, process of education must be sys-
tematically followed
Begin the campaign by organizing
societies wherever the soil promises
| growth, in the schools, III the church
es, and in every city, town and vii.
lage. Get the young people thor.
oughly interested. Raise funds and
apply them to the dissemination of
appropriate literature, to the purchase
of food, shelter, and equipment, for the
protection and amelioration of the con-
dition of such animals as the society
must needs care for. Petition the
State and national Legislatures for
the enactment of salutary laws tC
| further the good purpose.
In short, let it be the aim of the
Society to create strong public sen.
timent against all forms of maltreat
ment of animals, and new era will
gradually dawn for the long suffering
ill-requited work animal, the faithful
personal protector, the dog, and al
the various creatures that minister to
the amusement of mankind.

RAIN STORM IN WESTERN

BIG TREES ENDANGERED.

Stockton, Cal July IA great for.
est fire in the Tuolumne mountains
threatens the destruction Of the fam
GUS Tuolumne grove of big trees5
The fire was due to the carelessness
OF a government surveying party in
failing to put out signal fires. The
embers were scattered by high winds
at night and the result was that a
line Of fire four miles long is spread
ing across the mountains in the di-
rection of the big tree grove.
The giant sequoias of California,
the largest of known trees, are found
only in the western part of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, in Calaveras, Tue
lumne and Mariposa counties. They
grow in detached groups, locally called
groves, at an altitude of 1000 to 8, 600
feet above the sea.
4 The famous group known as the
Mammoth Grove of Calaveras, con-
tanning over ninety large trees, stands
in 80 degrees north latitude, between
San Antonio and and Stanislaus rivers.
The bark of one of the largest trunks
was stripped off to the height of 116
feet and exhibited in New York and
London and now stands in the Crystal
Palace at Sydenham The tree died.
1t measured 80 feet in girth and 321
feet in height.
In the Mariposa grove one tree
measures l01 feet around the root and
a cut stump is 81 feet in diameter.
Some of the trees are of great age,
perhaps 5000 years or more They
have little beauty, owing to their
scant foliage

The strenuous efforts made by GER
tan parties to secure the permanent
appointment of Judge Wickersham to
the Nome Federal bench have hardly
ceased and now comes the news that
United States Marshall Richards, who
doubtless refused as did young Frost,
to be party to the schemes of the Pa
cific coast conspirators, has been ar
rested on the charge of contempt of
court, convicted of packing a jury"
on the evidence of detectives said to
be in league with the ring, and is
now awaiting the sentence of the
court 1t is hardly necessary to add
that Wickersham is the judge who
convicted Richards nor to emphasize
the fact that by bringing the charge
of contempt of court the judge
found means of conviction without
giving to Marshall the benefit of trial
by jury.
Fortunately, however, the men who
have sought to pervert justice to their
own ends have overreached them
selves, and the President has grasped
the situation and taken steps too rem
edy it. Despite the pressure brought
to bear on him to make Wickrsham' S
nomination permanent, Mr.. Roosevelt
has appointed his successor in the
person of Mr. J. S. Moore of Penn
sylvania, who is now en- route for
Nome. Judge Moore is man of un-
questioned probity and had the en-
dorsenent of Attorney General Knox
| and of Senator Quay. Mr.. Roosevelt
has also appointed as United States
attorney for the Nome district Col
onel Grigsby, formerly of the Rough
Riders, and it is safe to anticipate
that the presence of these two men OF
unquestioned honor and unlimited
courage will remedy condition OF
affairs in the Nome district which
was anything but creditable to the

THE SUMMARY.

The New York Sun summarizes the
doings of the Fifty seventh Congress
as follows;
Chiefly for six things outside of the
ordinary routine will the first session
of the Fifty-seventh Congress be
memorable and three of them are as
notably good and creditable to Con-
gress as the other three are deplorable
and doubtful Here is the first
group;
/. The war tax repeal. These
special taxes, laid upon the people
because of the war with Spain for
the liberation of Cuba, were never so
heavy as to be felt severely. The
promise of the Republican platform
of 1900 to remove them has been full
filled promptly and The fact that this
has been possible is proof both of the
splendid adequacy of the existing
system of ordinary revenue, and of the
present enormous wealth and prosper
ity of the nation.

3. The inception of an American cam
al between the two oceans by the most
practical route, that.is TO say, by way
of Panama. If the Fifty seventh Con-
gress had done nothing but to decree
that this great national enterprise
should proceed, it would have earned
unique distinction and merited the
gratitude of the country and of the
wi 1,-io -
three items on the other side of the
account are not so pleasant to con-
template:
l. The failure to enact that re-
ciprocal trade arrangement with Cuba
which was desired by President Nc
Kinley, labored for with all his heart
and sinews by President Roosevelt,
demanded by the present conditions
of the island, and favored and sup
ported by an overwhelming public
sentiment.
The Inauguration of vast
scheme of irrigation at federal ex-
pense in certain designated States and
territories. The expense is not the
less federal because the money is to
come from the sale of public lands
and not from revenue derived from
taxation. This measure is certainly
of prime Importance and of far reach
ing consequences We class it as
! doubtful for the reason that it invol-
| YES Fashionable policy and depar-
ture on a new line of government ex.
penditure that may easily run into
the billions.
The temperance in this Congress
of that reckless spirit III the matter o.
appropriations which always betokens
danger for the party responsible fol-
| legislation. The enormous river and
harbor bill and the unprecedented
grab for public buildings are the
conspicuous illustrations. Previous
breaks i'll the continuity of Republi-
can control have been preceded by
similar accesses of folly. The signi.
ficance OF McKinley's warning against
the temptations of abundant national
prosperity will be appreciated when
the stupendous total of this year
appropriations is exhibited to the
+, country.
No man can truly say that the re.
ults of the present sessions, either for
good or for bad, are meagre and com.
monplace.

There is one for of rejoicing akin to
illumination which should be abso-
lutely forbidden, and that is the let
ing off of fireworks of any kind either
in the streets or in the houses. Fire
works of any kind are dangerous in
careless hands and near buildings.
The smallest, such as squibs and
crackers, let off in street may in
jure eyesight or cause temporary
rush or panic in crowd. A rocket
does not always descend in the form
of stick it sometimes fails to rise,
but whether it comes down as a blaz-
ing firebrand or a smouldering lath it
may go through a window and set fire
to house; it may brighten horse,
or it may hurt a human being. A
rocket-stick even if quite extinct,
falling among the upturned faces of
a crowd might do serious damage. -
