LECTURING IN POLAND.
ExactfnE Censorship Renders thu
Working Unsafe and Un-
pleasant.

Russian censorship in Poland is so ex-
acting that not only is the writing OF
books cruelty crippled by its action, but
a public lecturer finds his work per-
plexingly difficult, says Youths Com
panion George Brandes, the Dane, says
that he could refer to certain facts only
by stating them in yelled language
likely to be understood by the wakeful
intelligence of the people. but blind
enough to escape the Russian censor
In commenting upon famous poem,
it was impossible to say directly: The
cruelty described here was actually per-
petrated by Ivan the Terrible" He could
only beat about the bush In this fashion:
When the principal character mar
rates how, with his sword, he nailed the
foot of the old minstrel to the earth, and
how the latter continued to deliver his
message undisturbed. it recalls An anec-
In this form the lecture passed the cen
sor
Then there was another passage, a
poatical quotation, where the hero in de-
spair complains to God Of the indiffer-
ence with which He allows man to suffer.
Thou art not the father of the world :"
he cries, "but its tsar!"
Here again the speaker relied on the
ignorance of the censor where Polish lit
erature was concerned.

they were angry with their gods" he
paraphrased. discharged an arrow into
the vault Of heaven, SO Conrad filings this
taunt cut into the universe: Thou God!

In delivering this speech he made q
pause of some seconds. during which q
shudder ran through the hail. Then
came the word ''tyrant;;" and the Poles
drew long breath and looked at one
another No one moved hand.
After such a passage a deathlike IL
fence prevails, in order that the speaker
may not be compromised. Later, some
innocent phrase may be wildly applaud
ed. or the lecturer will receive enthusiast
tic tribute at the close, when no censor
could select the portions which had
called forth such storm OF approval.

Jennings, Mont, Jan. 19.-In a fire
at Morrissey, B. c.. Saturday night,
four men were burned to death. Four
others are missing and it is believed
they also persisted in the flames.
The Pioneer hotel, leased by A.
Johnson, caught fire from the over
turning of a lamp in the barroom.
The proprietor aroused his guests,
most of whom escaped in their night
clothes. All were coal miners or pros
pectors. 1t was impossible for the
proprietor to reach all of them.
There is no fire protection at Nor

The remains of four men we're found
yesterday, but were not identified.

Notwithstanding this vast sum at

terror is proceeding with great eau
ton, and will consider no projects
from a political or sentimental stand
point
The men who are carrying on the
work are chosen by competitive ex-
aminations to test their special fit
ness; most of them have spent the
greater part of their lives studying
the problem, measuring the rivers
and constructing irrigation works,
and they are proceeding carefully
upon sound business principles, pre-
cisely as would be done if they were
working for a business corporation
which depended upon the profits of
the enterprise
The construction Of water storage
reservoirs and irrigation works is
still a matter of experiment. ara the
president and secretary CT the in,erior
are extremely anxious that at the be-
ginning of this great enterprise no
mistakes shall be made. There is
an intense public interest in all the
arid states, and a great clamor from
the people to see something done.
The interior department is receiv-
ing letters by the bushel asking where
and when construction is going to
begin, and there is great rivalry
among different localities which hope
to benefit by it. In the meantime the
survey will continue upon the seven
lected, and as soon as expedient the
locations will be announced.

bruises, while others are suffering
merely from the nervous shock.
The Des Moines and Minneapolis

was about to cross a bridge. The
speed of the train carried it across

UNIVERSAL SORROW IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
SEPTIC POISONING SET IN
After Battling for Life Four Days
the End Came to Till
mans Victim.

Columbia, s. c., Jan. 19.-Editor N.
G. Gonzales died at | p. m. After
battling for almost four days for life,
the victim of Lieutenant Governor

have been about the bulletin boards
almost constantly since the tragedy
increased rapidly and all phases Of
and details Of the tragedy were dis
cussed. In his cell, where he has
been confined since the shooting, Lieu
tenant Governor Tillman heard the
news with visible emotion. There is
universal sorrow.
Since 1870 last night it was evident
that the crisis had arrived. MI. Con
zales, as he becme more nervous, was

ground, and as early as 3 o'clock this
morning hope was practically aban-
doned. The last heroic treatment re-
sorted to was the use of formaline.
One-fiftieth of a grain was injected
into the veins in the hope of stopping
blood poisoning. At Z a. m. all of the
patients relatives who we're not at
the hospital were summoned. His
wife, two brothers and sisters, besides
members of the editorial staff of the
state, responded.
1t is announced that death was due
to septic poisoning from the wound
in the liver.
A solution OF formaline was inject
ed at 1890, but there was no i'm
provement in his condition. Soon at.
ter the physicians made an injec-
ton of one-fiftieth of a grain of forma-
line directly into the veins in the
hope of preventing blood poisoning,
but this also proved futile. Gonzales
was unconscious during the morning.
The city is quiet except for the
great crowds around the bulletin
boards discussing the details of the
tragedy.

CIRCLE CITY DEPOPuLATED
Wild Stampede Has Taken Place
Pedro Creek Staked for Miles.
Other Rich Streams.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. ia specia!
to the Times from Dawson says: A
tremendously rich strike, the magni-
tude Of which has never been equal
led since Bob Henderson told his won
derful story of the Klondike, has been
made Is miles north of a point ON the
Tanana river, 800 miles from it's
ource. The district is in American
territory. Circle has been depopu-
lated and a wild stampede of prospec,
tors from all surrounding country is
in progress, as yet few having reached
the discovery. Holes that have prov
ed the wealth Of the country were
sunk late last winter and the first
nan to reach Dewson from the new
country has just arrived. He is a
Japanese named K. Wada, we'll known
in Dawson, where his veracity and
honesty are we'll known. So far the
report has not spread to any extent
in Dawson, but the little that has
been told has created great excite
ment that surely means a stampede.
The gist Of Wada's report is that the
district resembles the Klondike in
it's physical formation, but has a
heavier growth of timber. Gold in
widely different kinds had been found
III eight different creeks when Wada
left for Dawson on December %. The
original strike was made on Pedro
creek, running parallel with the Tan
ana river, about Is miles from the
river. This creek is staked for miles.
Dan Mccarthy, a well-known Dawson
man, made the discovery On Gold
stream, a continuation of Pedro creek,
which has proved to be the richest
so far found.
The Pedro creek district discovery
has not as yet equaled Gold stream.
Seven cents is the richest found, but
it's wealth is better indicated in a
statement that Costa brothers sunk
seven holes to bed rock and found
an even run of gold in every n with
a pay streak over eight feet deep
right through with a width of about
600 feet.
Gold stream is a big district, three
claims ALASKA dimensions) wide. It
was not all staked out when Wada left.
About 100 men are working the
ground. Jack Costa was offered $780,
900 for his claim in Gold stream and
refused it.

St. Louis, Jan. ia remarkable
surgical operation was performed at
the city hospital last night to save
the life of Edward Spilker, aged 10,
who had attempted suicide by shoot

in the heart was closed with three
stitches. The bullet had also perfor-
ated the apex of the left lung. A

tied about the lung, draining tubes
being established and the chest cav
ity closed. The patient speedily raj
lied, and it is believed he will re-

tonight that he will offer a purse of
$25, 900 for a 2O-round boxing contest

factory answer are received he will,
he says, at once post $4,000 as a guar
antee that the contest will take place
without interference.
"Do you anticipate any in.erfer-
ence from the Canadian authorities?"
he was asked.
"It is not certain that the match
will be pulled off in the For. Erie
club house. 1t will be remembered,
however, that three. championship
contests between lightweights and
middleweights have already taken
place across the river; and there has
been no infraction of the Canadian
law governing boxing contests"

Livingston, Jan. 19.-R. B. Jones,
the lad accused of stabbing George

night, was brought to the city this
morning by Sheriff Robertson and
lodged in the county jail. He made
some effort to escape arrest, but fin

At the Jail this afternoon he said that
Johnson had attacked him with a
rock and that he stabbed him in self
defense.
In explanation of the fact that the
wound is in Johnson's back, he said
that he had reached around when he
made the thrust and that he was fac
ing Johnson when he stabbed him.
Doctor S. Cogswell and County Attor-
ney Stuart went out to Clyde Park
this afternoon to see Johnson, who is
said to be in a very precariOus condi-
ton. The knife penetrated his right
lung. The weapon with which the
wound was inflicted is a large pocket
knife with a four-inch blade.

chances for his recovery. If his con-
dition is such as to permit, he will
be brought into the city tomorrow.
