HIS PRIDE WAS HURT.
And Frenchman Threatened to Take
Mean RevenQs.

A story was told at a recent dinner
of New York literary club which
goes back to the time when certain
famous man was governor OF Massa-
chusetts. The tale sounds like re-
vival of a newspaper yarn contem-
poraneous with it's hero. At any rate.
it is worth retelling.
Along country road in the north
of Maine plodded a French Canadian
with a trained bear, making his way
to a county fair. At cross road he
met long whiskered yankee driving
mule. They nodded. to each other
and were continuing on their ways
when suddenly the Frenchman prick
ed up his ears.
"G'long there, Napoleon" the farm
er drawled to his mule.
The Frenchman stopped short and
listened again.
Cit ap, Napoleon" called the yam,

madam, bringing his bear to a halt,

GAS IN COAL MINES.
Dangerous Explosive AccumuIates In
Spite of Great Care.

Being reminded of some of his own
the Cambria mine. Frederick E. Sa-
ward of the Coal Trade Journal gives
the following account of the phenom-
ena in gaseous mine.
Il had been invited" said he, ito
visit a property which was said to
possess seam of coal Of unusual
thickness and purity. 1t was. never
theless, notoriously gassy mine, in
somuch that the fire boss made regu-
lar rounds to test the working places
and calk up warning signs if too dan.
gerous vapor was discovered.
Going down a 300-foot shaft on a
platform elevator without sides (sim-
Fly the guide rods). in company with
the fire boss. walked along the main
entry for one-half mile, viewing the
coal by the light of our little tin-cup
lamps. Presently, on approaching a
visibly cracked roof, my guide said
that he would show me what gas was
and how it was put out. He held his
lamp up near the crevice in the roof
and forthwith there was 4 floating OF
blue gas along the roof near the crew
ice, like burning alcohol in basin of
water
We will not let it get ahead OF
us, said the guide, and with that he
took off his coat and brushed out the
flaming gas, driving it away from the
crevice. II he had driven it toward
the crevice the roof might have come
down. AS if this were not enough, the
guide said: II will shew you where it
is not even safe to go with an ordinary
lamp He thereupon lit his safety and
blew out the ether tin-cup lamps. We
walked along the entry until we came
to a place which led up the face of the
coal. Climbing upon that which had
been broken down the guide lifted his
safety lamp and the blue flame began
to dance around the gauze.
This daily tour of the fire boss no
doubt saves many lives, but there Is
often a quick accumulation in places
where he has found nothing danger
ous."

Colombian Revolution Is Hard Hit
by the Capture of Gen. Tribe
Tribe, Its Leader.

Panama, Oct. 29.-The revolutions
airy general, Tribe Tribe, with ten
cannon, $500 rifles and 100000 rounds
OF ammunition, has surrendered to
Gen. Marjarres at Rio Froi, near
Santa Marta. The revolutionary
forces under Gen. Uribe-U Tribe, which
were defeated October IA at La Glen
aga, retreated to Rio Froi and took
up positions there. Gen. Marjarres,
with 1000 men, proceeded against the
rebels from La Cienaga and engaged
the enemy two days ago. The gov
eminent general succeeded in sur
rounding the rebels and forcing them
to surrender. Gen. Castillo was with
Gen. Uribe-Uribe.
The news of this victory was re-
ceived here by Gen. Perdomo and
Gov. Salazar this morning in tele-
gram from Gen. Marjarres. Details
OF the engagements are lacking, but
heavy casualties on both sides are
reported. The surrender of Tribe

port by the governor of the depart

Many Thousands of CoIonists Are
Making Heavy Traffic on
the Railroads.

Chicago, Oct. 2s.-Between 10000
and $4,000 colonists have gone into
the far western, northwestern and
southwestern states during the
months of September and October.
The movement of homeseekers and
settlers has never before been so
great in the history of western rail-
roads. During the present week the
railroads will carry fully 10000 colo
nists out of Chicago, ST. Paul, St. Louis
and other large cities in the middle
west. The Santa Fe alone will carry
at least 5000 persons during the week,
orders having been given for rs cars
thus far. The movement promises to
swamp many of the roads which are
short of equipment, and there is
great hustle for cars.

branches of the postal service for
the patronage of the public who send
money through the mails, has been

subject and have decided to with
draw all circulars, placards and 9TH

throughout the country extolling the
respective merits of each system of
transmitting money. Each of these
bureaus in the past has gotten out
cards advising the public that it is
the safest means for sending money.
and the competition had reached the
stage of posting cards of ''don't"
Warnings. Hereafter the policy will
be to work together in the interest
of all branches of the service.

STATUS OF CUBAN TREATY.
Believed the Objections, Raised by
Island Officials, Can Be snt-
isfactori1y Met.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The fact re-
corded in the news dispatches from
Havana that President Palma has
returned to Washington the draft Of
the reciprocity treaty without his
approval has not shaken the belief
OF the officials here that they will
have treaty ready to submit to
congress by the date of it's next
meeting. AS soon as Mr.. Quesada,
the Cuban minister here, receives
the document he will submit it to
Secretary Hay The latter already
has knowledge of the general nature
OF the objections found by the Gu
ban government. Then negotiate
will be continued on the basis of the
original draft. For it is explicitly
stated that the proposition submit
ted by the state department was in
10 sense an ultimatum and the mat
ter is still open to adjustment. Gen
orally stated, the Cuban objections
are based on a belief that the United
States has demanded undue conces-
sions in the remissions of duties on
United States products entering
Cuba, ranging all the way from 10
per cent. to so per cent, in return
for 20 per cent. cut on Cuban
sugar and tobacco coming into the
United States. AS the difference is
one strictly of figures and not of
principle, it is the opinion at the
state department that it can be set
tied amicably.
If not, and the Cuban government
insists upon terms that the state de-
partment cannot grant, the two
countries will simply drift along
without trade treaty of this kind.
AS Cuba will undoubtedly be the
principal sufferer it is expected here
that she will be the first to make
another advance toward treaty.
There has been an important change
IN the programme respecting the
whole fabric of Cuban treaties. 1t
Tad been originally intended to per-
feet reciprocity treaty before un-
dertaking to deal with other rela-
tons that must be defined by treaty.
AS it is now seen that the subject OF
reciprocity is one that will require
considerable time for it's disposition,
the government here is about to UNI
dertake negotiations looking to the
arrangement of an eXtradition
treaty, which is very much needed,
inasmuch as Cuba threatens to be-
come a sink hole for American GRIM
mails.

Indications in Mexico of Volcanic
Eruptions Cause Great Fear
Among Inhabitants.

Mexico City, Oct. 2s.-There is no
little CONSERVATION felt by the inh;b-

south country on account of showers
OF ashes falling in the extensive re-
gion from San Juan Bautista, capital
OF the state of Tabasco, as far north
as Salina Cruz. 1t is believed that a
nil near Palenque, where there is
great prehistoric city of ruins, has
suddenly been transformed into an
active volcano. The ashes falling at
Palenque have hidden the sun, and
also at CONTAIN, and great fear has
come on the people. Palenque is the
center of the disturbance, as the
burning mountain is said to be near
there. There is some anxiety felt for
Chiapas. Indians arriving at San
Christobal las Casas, say a hill in
the Guadalupe Sierra is vomiting
fire and smoke. People in many
towns have been running about in
