SOUTH AFRICA PAYS.
Colonies will BE Levied on For
Cost of Recent War.

London, Sept. % The Daily Mail
says the government has decided that
the new South African colonies are to
be required to pay $500, 900, 900 toward
the cost of the South African war. The
colonies are. however. to be allowed
ample time in which to make the pay
ment.
1t will not be collected until the ex-
tension of trade and expansion of rev.
enue permit. Consequently the loan
will not be tloated for two or three
years. Mining profits will probably
be taxed 10 per cent. more than they
were before the war, and money will
also be obtained by granting all kinds
of concessions and mineral rights.

 Of course, it is impossible to say when the monstrous plant will be in operation but Superintendent Adam son says that one month wilt show astonishing progress in the work.
 Everything considered, the plant is probably p per cent larger than the Cananea works, which will doubtless come as a surprise to a majority of the people of Cochise county. Doug las, Bisbee, Cochise county and the territory is to be congratulated on this prodigious enterprise.

GAS WELL AT BOULDER.
Heavy Pressure of Gas Will Be Used
for Heating Purposes.

Denver. Oct. 2O.-A Boulder special
to the Republican last night says:
In company with a number of invit-
ed guests. two Republican representa-
tives went out to the Maxwell well,
north of town last evening. To call
1t an oil well is a misnomer. Oil was
never discovered in it, but the gas
pressure is something enormous.
The derrick has been taken down
and moved 500 feet westward, where
another well is to be sunk as soon as
the derrick can be erected and the
machinery installed. All that Is left
of the original well is the piping, and
some valves. While at the well, Mr..
Cameron attached a pressure gauge
capable of indicating 1000 pounds.
Two smaller gauges had been broken
by the pressure and larger one was
sent for. In spite of all the packing,
there is constant leak at the well,
and the valves cannot be made abso-
lutely tight. The gas can be seen and
heard as 1t escapes around the main
valve. In spite of this, when Mr..
Cameron turned the gas on, the gauge
went up gradually until it stood at $50
pounds 1t was said the pressure,
when all the leakage is stopped. Is
600 pounds. The best pressure OF any
well in Indiana is 1926 pounds, so that
this is something remarkable. For
the benefit of the spectators, Mr..
Cameron turned the gas into the two
inch pipe, about fifty feet long, at the
end of which he had put in an up
right piece. AS he applied the torch
there was slight blaze from the
leakage He gradually increased the
flow until the valve was wide open
and then the flame shot from seventy
five to 100 feet into the air and was
perhaps six to ten feet wide. The
roar was terrific, so much so that for
time the spectators did not
know which way to run to get away
from the noise.
AS soon as the second well is down
to gas the present one will be shot
and then it is proposed to utilize the
gas for heating purposes and perhaps
for lighting.

MAD MULLAH Fights
BRITISH LOSS is VERY HEAVY.
British Forces in Imminent
DANCER.

London, Oct. 20-The foreign office
has issued an undated dispatch from
Colonel Cobbs, commanding one of the
columns of British forces operating
against the Mad Mullah in Somali-
land, giving an account of recent Sc
we're fighting. The dispatch was for
warded through the British vice con-
sui at Berbora, Somaliland. The Brit
ish forces engaged were composed en-
tirely of native troops and levies. Col
onel Cobbs says:
my force reached Erego this morn
ing. When about one days march
north of Mudug 1t was attacked in the
thick bush. Two advances were made.
and the enemy was beaten back in the
morning. Their losses were heavy and
we captured 100 rifles. Our force then
proceeded to collect animals for trans
portation purposes, and to join the de-
tachment at the stockade camp. In
the afternoon reconnaissance was
made, and after sharp fighting the en-
emy were again driven of
Il deeply regret the following casul-
ties: Col. Phillips and Capt. Angus and
fifty men killed and about 100 men
wounded. The latter include Capt.
Howard and Lieut.. Everett, but both
are doing well. There were severe
losses among the transport and riding
camels. The force will reach the-stock-
ade camp tomorrow and will then ad-
vance to attack the enemy"
The vice consul also telegraphs the
substance of later dispatch from
Colonel Swayne, who says that as a
result of the fighting at Erego October
9th. which was severe, the Semali
levies are considerably shaken. The
Mullah who is said to be in communi-
cation with Kali and lnger. in the d.
rection of the Webbe river. is bringing
up renforcements from all sides.
Colonel Swayne is much hampered
owing to the necessity of the transport
ing of the wounded and water. He is
retiring on Bohotle. He asks that 600
further reliable troops be dispatched
from Bernera forthwith.
The severe reverse in Somaliland
places the British force there, of about
5000 men, of doubtful reliability, in an
exceedingly perilous situation.
Last December the Mullah was re-
ported to have about 1000 men, most
ly mounted, large percentage OF
whom were armed with rifles. 1t is
possible that he now commands about
5000 men.

migration was made public to-day. 1t
shows that of the 64s. .743 immigrants
who arrived in the United States dur
ing the last fiscal year 466,3G9 were

Most European countries showed an
increase. but there was a falling off in
the arrivals from Ireland amounting to
1.423. the total from that country be-
ing 29.13S.
The figures concerning Asiatic i'm
migration show decrease from China

The total number of aliens refused
permission to land was 1874. or about
two-thirds of one per cent of the total
arrivals. OF these 3.944 were paupers,
709 had loathsome diseases. nine were
convicts and 275 contracted laborers.

LA souFRiERE ACTIVE.
Another Terrific Eruption of the Great
St. Vincent Volcano.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, Oct. IA
terrific eruption of the Soufriere vol
cano commenced Wednesday night.
During the preceding day tues
day) earth tremors. apparently too
slight to be considered important,
were experienced in the central and
northern parts of the island.
At O'Clock there were indications
of an eruption. Rumbling noises were
heard. They increased until 8 O'Clock
when the roaring volcano belched out
its deadly contents, This eruption
was followed by brief lull.
Then, from 10 o'clock until A o'clock
in the morning the upheaval con-
tinued. The outbreak was accom-
panied by an incessant and confused
cannonading. There were incandes'
cent clouds, and sparkling matter
was elected. After o'clock the dis
turbance gradually decreased. but the
noise of the boiling caldron is still
audible in the districts near the vol
cano.
Both craters of the Soufriere were
apparently active. They have been
steaming all day long. Sand fell
until half past 2 this morning. At
southern points the sand is half an
inch deep, the depth gradually in
creasing toward the volcanic cone.
where there were showers of large
stones, pebbles and cinders.
kingstown and other southern
points of the island have not been
damaged. Reports from the Wind
ward district are awaited.
This eruption caused darkness at
Bridgetown. island OF Barbados, at 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning. There
was a fall of volcanic dust there.
The sand elected during this erup-
ton has a stronger sulphurous odor
than any previously thrown out. and
one superficial square foot of it weighs
exactly one pound.

GREAT JAPANESE TYPHooN.
Thousands of Lives Lost and Vast
Amount of Property Destroyed.

Victoria. B, c., Oct. 17.-Full par
ticulars of the disastrous typhoon and
tidal waves which devastated north
ern Japan at the close of September,
causing great loss of life and property,
both at sea and on shore, were re-
ceived Wednesday.
Several thousand people lost their
lives, the breakwater off Yokohama
was swept away. liners were driven
ashore, the japanese battleship Shik-
ishima stranded at Yosukuska, tenn
pies, public buildings. houses, ETC..
were destroyed and their occupants
drowned.
1t was along the Japanese coast
from Koduz to Odawara bay that the
greatest loss of life occurred. Huge
tidal waves swept away villages. over
600 lives being lost in the village of
koyawata alone.
At Kohachimara it is estimated that
similar number lost their lives.
From other points the tale of death
is as heavy. for the typhoon seems to
have spread disaster all over the
northern part of Japan. and the seis-
mic waves which swept in and de-
luged the coast, particularly Odawara,
caused greater loss of life than any
storm since that awful disaster of the
tidal waves of 1898. Coasting steam
ers and a number of junks were to-
tally wrecked at various points.
At Yokohama the typhoon caused
great damage to shipping.

Satisfaction at Washington.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE greatest
satisfaction is expressed here in Of
fetal circles over the success of the
negotiations for the settlement of the
coal strike. The president himself
feels deeply grateful for the outcome.
He regards it as honorable to both
sides. and above all as averting ter
rible calamity to the people.
Mr.. Sargent, the commissioner gen
eral of immigration, who is a well
known labor leader and who has been
prominent in the movement to secure
a settlement of the differences be-
tween the operators and strikers. is
particularly pleased with the outcome
of the presidents efforts to put an
end to the strike. and especially as
organized labor is specifically recog
nized in the makeup of the arbitration
commission.

he gives as a reason for his act de-
spondency over continued i'll health
and separation from his friends.
The envelope contained package OF
letters that had passed between Young
er and a lady with whom he is said
to have been much in love. The lady,
who is prominently connected. is said
to have reciprocated his affection and
1t was reported at one time they were
to be married.
The lady's relatives raised strenuous
objections to the wedding and further
obstacle was the fact that 1t was
pointed out that a paroled prisoner
could not legally contract marriage.
The couple determined to disregard
the objections of relatives. and an ef-
fort was made to overcome the other
obstacle to their marriage by securing
from the state board of pardons full
pardon and restoration to citizenship.
This effort failed, and this, it is
thought, had much to do with Young
er's determination to end his life.
The lady is said now to be in Boise.
Idaho, for her health. 1t is also said
that relations between Jim and Cole
Younger were very much strained-in
