trance to listen. The incline is easy. and
L pick up my camera and run with the
crowd down through the tiled hole. The
wind from the ventilating fans comes
fresh against my face as L trat on with a
lons-llmbed, rosy-cheeked English girl
sprinting beside me. / look at her out of
the tail of my eye as / run, wondering if
she is a bar maid, a dressmaker or a lady
of quality. At any rate, she is a good run
ner. and we reach the bottom together.
Here we find a different kind of car and
engine. The cars are more like barrels
with seats inside them than anything else
and each car seems to carry its own motor.
The trains go at great speed, but they do
not compare in beauty and comfort with
those of the Tuppeny Tube made by the
Yankees. Nevertheless they carry consid-
erably more than a hundred thousand pas
Sengers day and their receipts approx
mate one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars a month. The fare one way is four
cents, or the round trip for six cents.
Other Tube Lines.
The, electric underground railways of
Lcndon will be rapidly extended There
are schemes for something like a hundred
miles of such roads now before parliament,
and the day will soon come when every part
of this vast metropolis will be honeycombed
with railroads. One of the biggest schemes
of underground extension is backed by Pier
pont Morgan, connected with large British
interests, and others, as / have said. are
being pushed by Yerkes. Mr.. Yerkes has
his concessions. and the work of converting
the Metropolitan Underground from steam
to electricity is one of short time and much
money. Eight new tube lines have already
been authorized by parliament. and in the
suburbs there are several electric tramWays
above ground. / have ridden on a number
OF these. The cars are double-deckers, with
seats on the roof They are well patronized.
The most of them belong to the London
county council, and l understand that they
pay dividends, Notwithstanding they run
workingmen's trains at certain hours of the
day at one-half and in some cases at one
fourth of the regular rates

American Elevators.

The elevators which carry passengers up
and down from and to the streets are also
American. They are immense affairs, large
enough to accommodate several hundred
people. They are octagonaI in shape. with
seats about the walls. They move slowly
and smoothly without giving you the SEN
sation of goneness and sickness of the stom-
ach, as some of our elevators. The walls
are hung with advertisements, and among
them we notice some of American shoes
and other things. l rose by means of one
of these elevators to the Bank station, and
there found myself in the very center OF
financial London. The great treasure vaulI S
of the British empire were all about me,
and l could see John Bulls subjects rush
ing and scrambling this way and that after

lowed their Yankee cousins to get the

the tube itself cost all told about $4,000
o0V. There are sixteen boilers under one
roof and siE great generators. The maohin-
cry is almost altogether American. The
most of it was made by the General Elec-
trio Company, and Americans have much
to do with its management.
Here l learn something about the tube.
The tunnel is six and a quarter miles long.
1t consists of two great tubes running part
of the way side by side. and in some places
above one another. The average depth OF
the tube is about seventy feet below the
surface, although at the Bank it almost
approaches one hundred feet. The tube
runs right under the streets and not under
the houses. This was partly because 1t was
much cheaper. as no right of way had to
be paid for the route below the streets,
whereas had it been under the houses each
property holder could have claimed dam
ages, for every man is supposed to own
down to the center of the earth and this
road runs less than one hundred feet from
the surface

Tramways Worked by the City.

The tendency here seems to be in the
direction of the city owning as many of
the railroads as possible. About three
fourths of the tramway traffic is now in
the hands of the London county council
which is a term comprehending the council
which manages the greater London. 1t car
ried on its southern tramways last year
more than 1S,000,000 passengers, and on its
northern tramways. which were leased from
the Northern Metropolitan railroad, about
15S.O00, 000. 49,
Other tramways are being rapidly ac-
quired, and 1t is safe to prophesy that
within a few years all of the roads above
ground will become the property of the
county council. Many of these roads are
now worked by horses, but in the future
they will be run by electricity.
The first of the roads bought by the coun-
ell was along about 1893. The Metropoli-
tan lease was made in 1897, and by 1901
that lease had cost the council over four
million dollars. The council pays the orig
inal holders fixed rent of over $500, 600 a

SOLDIERS ATTEMPT TO DESERT
But Are Captured After Lively Chase
and Taken Back TO Fort Candy.

| There was an exciting time at the
ilwaco dock on the departure Of the
steamer Sahcotta for Astoria yester-
day Two privates from Fort Candy
who had deserted and were attempting
to get away on the Nahcotta were
oTertaken at the wharf by squads
from the fort and lively time ensued
for few minutes. In which two shots
were fired by one Of the officers but
captured and taken back TO the fort
One Of them had secured ctizan's
clothing and the other had secured
citizens coat, and had not the squad
reached the dock in an opportune time
the men would possibly have made
good their escape. One OF the prIyates
was recently tried and convicted In
Ilwaco before the local justice for
stealing jug OF wood alcohol from
Rogers drug store. and fined s25
While he was new man at the fort
he had made good impression on the
soldiers and they made up the amount
OF the fine and paid 1t and attempted
TO keep the news from Fort Candy in
order to save him from punishment
| for the crime at the fort. But the
officers got wind OF the matter and he
was tried by court martial and sen
fenced to 30 days in the guard house.
Yesterday was the first time that he
has been permitted to- leave the fort
since he was released from prison.
and after remaining in the town day
over time. he attempted to make his
escape with companion as announced
In the foregoing They had reached
the dock and the private who was
recently released from prison was
preparing to take the boat when two
squads or soldiers under Sergeants
Campbell and Marshall arrived. They
soon had the soldier in charge but
his companion was not In sight. They
started to return when the other de-
serter was seen running from behind
a building for the Nahcotta just as
she was pulling out. Sergeant Camp
bell ordered him to halt but he kept
on going. The officer again ordered
the deserted to halt. and not being
obeyed fired a shot from his revolver
above the deserter's head, The deser-
ter increased his speed. Another or
der to halt and another shot, but the
soldier kept running But at the third
order, and before the officer could fire,
which was to hit him this time, the sol
dier fell on the wharf and was taken
in charge and the two were taken
back to Fort Candy. where they now
await trial.

cHERoKEEs WILLING NOW.
Want the Dawes reaty Taken Up
and Resubmitted.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The officials of
the Cherokee Nation have at last real
lied the advantages which would ac-
crue to the Cherokee people by the
ratification of an agreement with the
federal government for the division of
their land and the extinguishment of
their tribal form of government. Ac-
cordingly, they have petitioned the de-
partment, through the Cherokee coun-
ell, to have the treaty negotiated with
the tribe by the Dawes commission
more than a year ago resubmitted to
congress and to the Cherokee people
for ratification. They are willing now
to accept the agreement in its entire
ty. but have suggested the ,advisabili-
ty OF adopting two minor amendments
relating to the allotment Of lands TO
the Delaware Indians.
The obstinacy on the part of the
Cherokee people, and particularly their
officials, during the past four years, in
opposing all treaties made with the
nation, has aroused the ire of the ofli-
cials of the department, and the de-
partmental agents endeavored TO in
ducs the Cherokee representatives to
eV<er into some sort of an agreement
whereby the affairs Of the tribe might
be satisfactorily administered, and the
lands and money ecuitably divided
among the members of the
nation. Three treaties were ne
gotiated but each one failed OF
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1902-01-02

ratification. As a result the officials Of
the department became disgusted and
issued instructions to the department
tai representatives to vigorously en-
foce all Of the provisions of the Cur.
tbs act within the limits of the Chero-
kee Nation. The decision TO enforce
this law evidently had a salutary ef-
feet. as the members of the nation are
now appealing to the department TO
give them another opportunity to ac-
cept the treaty which they rejected
less than six months ago.
No decision has been reached by the
department upon the petition OF the
Cherokee nation. The action of the
secretary is problematical. There are
god reasons why It would be wise to
allow the Cherokee nation 20 accept
the former treaty. The enforcement of
the Curtis act will. undoubtedly. lead
to much litigation which may prevent
final settlement of the affairs of the
tribe for a number of years to come.
These legal difficulties might be oh
Waited by the adoption of the treaty
though even this is doubtful, as the
Cherokee people have shown a dis
position to litigate all questions
th~ouph all the courts. If guarantee
can be secured which is genuine that
If the former treaty Is resubmitted and
adopted ana ratified. that the Chero
kee people viii accept all of its pro
visions without question, and without
attempting to embarrass the depart
ment by suits in court, they may be
given another opportunity to ratiry
and confirm the treaty.

DECLARED A PIRATE.
President Castro offers Reward for
CAPTURE Of British Vessel.

Caracas. Jan. President Castro
has issued a decree by which the
British steamship Ban Righ is declar-
ed pirate because she is carrying
arms and ammunition for the Venezu-
elan revolutionists under the leader
ship of Senior Manuel A. Matos. Castro
declares that he is ready to grant let
ters of marque to any Venezuelan or
foreign snap which is willing to make
an effort to seize the Ban Righ and
that he will give $4,000 and the Ban
Righ's cargo to any ship which may
effect the capture.
Every effort is being put forth by
President Castro to stop the Matos
expedition because of its important
character and the prominence of men
who are connected with Il. Reports
nave reached Caracas that Senor Ma
tos is to take his expedition to Venezu-
ella on the Ban Righ from Fort de
Frnace. Martinique. where the vessel

more than week ago from Antwerp
and great secrecy has been observed
regarding her future movements.
Senior Matos. who is in Fort DeFrance,
has been careful to keep his plans to
himself, a policy which has caused
much concern TO President Castro. 1t
is generally believed in Martinique that
the Ban Righ is destined for the Ven
ezulean coast. She is said to have on
board several million cartridges and
10000 Mauser rifles. Senor Matos has
a large number of revolutionary asso-
ciates with him in Martinique. He has
extensive banking and other interests
in Venezuela and his wealth is being
devoted to the insurgent cause. The
military end of his revolution move
ment is being directed by several
trained Venezuelan soldiers. as he is
essentially the civilian leader. It is Of
ficially announced here that the Ban
Righ is known as the Liberator, a
name bestowed by the revolutionists.
