Colombia Refuses to Pay Damages

Bogota. Colobima-The senate has approved the bill declaring that the nation is not responsible for the damages caused to foreigners by the rebels during the last revolution, but that it will pay for the injuries caused by the government troops with funds derived from eight per cent of the customs receipts. The bill further orthorizes the governor of Panama to ascertain the genuineness of the claims presented by foreigners on the isthmus.
 After the appro7al or rejecti on of the bill authorizing the president to negotiate new canal treaty with the United States, the sessions of congress will be closed.

Against Tobacco and Whisky

The railroads throughout the coun- try are waging war against the use of intoxicating liquors and tobacco by employees engaged in operating trains... The fiat has gone forth generally that the employees who drink or who ire quent places where liquors are soIdl are not safe men to intrust with the lives of patrons, nor with the valuable property transported by railroads. Total abstinence is essential to the service in the operating department of every railroad centering in Chicago, and, so far as kpown, of every impor- tapt railroad in the United States.
 The rules which have recently been inaugurated against the use of tobacco are not so stringe- t as those against liquor, but generally they prescribe the use of tobacco while on duty and when about stations and on the property of the railroad companies. As for the cigarette, the order against it is almost as severe as that against whiskey. the revolution that is being effected in these respects is shown in the new rule book which the management of the Chicago roads have just issued. Without single exception these books contain the following rules, which are similarly framed.
 "The use of intoxicants by employees while on duty is prohibited. Their habitual use or the frequenting of places where they are sold is sufficient for dismissal. The use of tobacco by employees when on duty in and about passenger stations or on passenger cars is prohibited"

 The devil was the first catcher. Judas was a base man.
 Eve stole first.

 When Isaac met Rebekah at the we'll she was walking with the pitcher. Samson struck out the Philistines- Moses made his first run when he slew the Egyptians.
 Cain made a base hit when he slew Abel.
 The dove went out on fly.
 Noah caught several fowls.
 The prodigal son made a home run. Daniel was a long-distance thrower. Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red Sea.-Anaconda Standard.

Cpnquering the Alkai

The announcement comes that Prof. w. H. Hellman, a government expert in charge of an experiment station on the alkali flats lover Jordan" in Salt Lake has made the important discovery of some process by which the alkali can DO effectively removed from the soil and the land made arable. If this is true, Prof. Hellman has done work for which he shah be called blessed, for it will restore to use vast areas of the finest land in the west, for there is no better land than alkali land when there's no alkali in it. So far Prof. HellmSn has not made his process known, but, he looks wise and the process may bS published by the government laterson. If this is true, it will be more inval uable aid for the owner of alkali lands than was the salt brush introduced by our own university some years since.

DYNAMITE BOMBS ARE USED
ENTIRE POPULATION OF MOHEMIA
 IS MASSACRED
Desperate Hand to Hand Fighting lndulged in on the Streets of Mohemia- Christians Are Killed by the Thousands

Sofia, Bulgaria-The Macedonian revolutionary chiefs assert that they have positive information that the whole Christian population of the town of Mohemia (Razalog), province of Seres, was massacred September 28, with the exception of ten men, who escaped with the news. The pop ulation was about equally divided between Turks and Bulgarians. The latter numbered 3200 persons.
 According to the fugitives, when the general rising was declared in the Razalog district Sunday, the Turkish troops in the Pirin mount aims hurried to Mohemia and sur rounded the town, rendering the escape of the Christians impossible.
 The Bulgarian people were prepared to join in the rising, several insurgent agents being in the Bulgarian quarter of the town at the time.
 Desperate fighting occurred in the streets, bombs and dynimite being freely used. After fighting for five or six hours, the Turks gained a victory and proceeded to massacre every Bulgarian they encountered.
 Five engagements are reported to have taken place in the vicinity of Kratovo, where 5000 Turks were attacked by revolutionary bands and, though many Turks were killed, the insurgents were completely routed. One of the leaders of the latter, Lieu tenant Toncheff, committed suicide in order to avoid capture.
 A report from the insurgent head quarte rsss asserts that COCO Turks were routed by 2000 insurgents in the Pirin mountains after four days fighting. The Turkish losses in this affair are said to have been the heaviest during the whole outbreak. They included three colonels and many officers of lower rank.

LAST OF DOUBLE BINDERS
Gunboat Monocacy Has Been Sold by
 the Government

The navy department has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic station say ing that he had accepted the bid of Hashimoto, Japanese merchant, of s1l, 225, for the purchase of the Monocacy. The steamer is now at Taku, China. She was present at the battle of Taku, in command of Commander F. M. Fife. Under in structions from Rear Admiral Kempff, who was in command of the American ships at Taku, the Mouocacy, with the other vessels, did not participate in this fight.
 The Monocacy is the last of the double -enders which were built by the government during the war, particu- larly intended for service in the inlets and rivers of the southern states. They were of light draught, about 1900 tons displacement, side wheelers, sharp fore and aft with rudders at either end. They proved quite ser viceable, as they could run ahead, deliver fire, then back again with equal speed and fire without turning about. At the close of hostilities most of the vessels of their class were sold. The Mobingo was pur- chased by Goodall & Perkins and for a long time ran up and down the coast between San Francisco and San Diego. Years ago she was disposed of by the steamship company and the last known of her she was doing duty as coal hulk in Sydney, N. s. w.
 The Monocacy and the Ashuelot were retained in the navy and sent to the Asiatic station. The latter was lost in typhone on the Chinese coast in 1883, carrying many of her crew to the bottom. The Monocracy has always remained on the station. Since the affair of the Taku forts she has been lying in mud dock in the Pei Hoo. Admiral Evans was in structed to sell her without regard to appraisement, which was only sS000.

SOME OF THE NEEDS OF ALASKA
Senators Tell of Their Visit to the
 Territory

Washington-Senator Dillingham; of Vermont, chairman of the sub-com- mittee of the senate committee on territories, which on recommendation of the president, made thorough in- vestigation of Alaskan affairs during the past summer, had half hours conference with President Roosevelt Friday. Besides Seantor Dillingham; the members of the sub- committee were Senators Burnham of New Hamp- shire, Nelson of Minnesota and Pat terson of Colorado. The committee spent several weeks in Alaska, study ing the situation with view of sug- gesting legislation for the advance ment of the interest of the territory.
 Senator. Dillingham; indicated to the president that the problem is great one. Alaska contains almost as much territory as is included in that part of the United States east of the Mississippi river. The question of transportation therefore is the most serious problem needing solution. The people, Senator Dillingham; said,
 desired particularly the construction of wagon roads. As the territory is source of revenue to the government he is of the opinion that the building of reasonably good roadways can be provided for by legislation. One highway, specially, from Valdes to Eagle City, distance of about five hundred miles, would open rich country and it's constructor he believ- ed would develop that section in re-

VALIDITY OF DIVORCE LAW
The Supreme Court Renders Strong
 Decision

San Francicso-The supreme court has upheld the validity of the state divorce law. which provides that a final decree of divorce shall not be granted until one year after the granting of preliminary interlocu- tory decree. The question is one of great interest, involving many cases in which judges of superior courts have ignored the Jaw, which was re- gently enacted, and have granted final decrees, at the same time expressing their belief that the legislative act was unconstitutional. In view of these judicial opinions, several mar riages of divorced persons have already taken place within the pre- scribed time. By the decision of the supreme court just rendered these are in effect: declared null and void.
 The decision arises through an appeal recently made by Frank c. Deyoe of Mendocino county, who, through his attorneys, asked for a permanent writ of mandate to uphold temporary one, declaring the inter- locutory law unconstitutional. The court had granted him an interlocu- tory decree in accordance with the state law that went into effect on May 3. 1903 and refused to grant a final decree before the expiration of one year.
 The result of the decree granted was that while the applicants were prac- tically undivorced after the action of the court they had to wait one year before they could make motion for the granting of a final decree, and in the interval they could not con tract another lawful marriage. The court refused to enter final decree and Deyoe appealed to the supreme court.
 As the action of the superior court was in accordance with the provisions of an act of the legislature dated March 2, 1903, Deyoe's counsel ar gued that the act was unconstitutional as being piece of legislation direct ed against special class.
 The supreme court upholds the con stitutionality of the act. Judge An gell otti wrote the opinion, which was concurred in by the full court. The opinion says in part:
 "In every civilized country, mar. riage is recognized as the most i'm portant relation in life, and one il which the state is vitally interested.
 The right of the legislative depart ment to determine upon what condi- tions and upon what manner tht marriage relation may be entered into and having been Ientered into, fol what causes and in what manner i may be dissolved, is unquestioned
 "'The court should be very libera in granting applications to set aside defaults in divorce cases. Tn, public as we'll as the applicants ar' interested in every divorce granted. ''
 In conclusion, Judge Angellott says: "Just deference for the legis lative department enjoins upon tn, court the duty to respect its will, unless the act declaring it to b' clearly inconsistent with the funda mental law" Then, after the citation of authorities showing the act is no inconsistent with the fundamental law, he writes: "The application fol mandate, therefore, is dismissed" :" l IT.. z L..
