Tucker was the wife OF Commander

Army here into closer touch with the

to cover up she plot of forging the re-
liDquishment to the homestead.
The case attracted much attention
locally. Searching parties were organ
lied. the country was secured, but
never trace Of the missing women
came to light. Officers took the matter
in hand, attempted TO work up the ease,
but their efforts, too, were unsuccess-
ful. A peculiar circumstance In connec-
tion with the disappearance Of the wo-
men, as FAR as can be learned. Is that
the fact OF their probable murder never
became known outside Of the local COM
manity. but It has ever since been re-
garded as one OF the mysteries Of the
Hood River country.

ITHACA, Dec. 12.-Figures contained in
the advance sheets Of the annual Cornell
register we're announced by Registrar
Hoy to-day and show a net gain of forty
five in the attendance OF the university
over last year. The total to date for i9o3-M
is s,Ol4, against 2.96s at this time last year.
This increase is considerably smaller
than last years. the mark then being
l7e higher than that OF the preceding
season. The falling of in the increase
in attendance is greater than was eS-
pected when President Schurman made
his opening address in September. Tho
principal reasons for this are the
closing Of the College Of Forestry, which
meant loss Of about seventy students.
and the typhoid epidemic, which had an
appreciable effect upon the attendance,
though by no means SO sweeping an effect
as was at flrst expected. The regstra-
tion by colleges is rs follows:

From Charkhlik on the 18th Of May,
1901, the author OF these volumes began
the attempt to CROSS Tibet from north to
south, Which was to ocoupya twelvemonth.
Great precautions were taken by the travel
lers to conceal their purpose from the men,
bers of Mongol caravan that was on its
way to Lassa, but as the event proved. they
were ineffective, and arrangements were
made by the Tibetan authorities to defeat
the execution Of their programme It
became known at Lassa that a "Shved
Peling,' that Is Swedish European"
was on the way thither, and measures were
taken to arrest him. Before he was stopped
however, DR.. Hedin had reached a point
which, he was told. was only Ave days
distant from the Tibetan capital He
subsequently, ascertained that there was a
properly organized post along the road,
with stations where horses could be changed.
for, when a special messenger was sent,
he returned on the second day. The name
Of the valley in which DR.. Hedin was en-.
camped at the time OF his arrest was jail
lok and that of the mountain nearest to
him or the west was Bontsar. These
names, OF course, were recorded for DUR
poses OF future identification.
Up to this point, the travellers, who,
themselves, were disguised as Buriats,
had been guided through Tibet by Lama.
When the party was stopped, the Lama
naturally became Respondent and gloomy
He knew that, il he should be recognized,
his fate would be sealed. and. even II he were
unrecognzed, his destiny was uncertain
He told Dr. Hedin about Mongol Lama
who, for some transgression, had forfeited
his right to visit the Holy City, and who
by way OF atonement for his offence. was
ordered to travel from Urga all the way to
Lassa in the attitude Of prayer-that is to
say, on his knees. 'Flinging himself
prone. with his hands stretched out on the
ground in front OF him. he drew his knees
up toward his hanjs. and then. hinging
himself forward sS1in, with his hands

Columbia Road.
he Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Some of US are delighted to learn by
The Star that the superintendent Of park
ing and the assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner have agreed as to that tree out
at the end of the new 10th street extern
sion of the Connecticut avenue car line.
Now, if they will only firmly and repeated
ly bring this tree to the attention Of Uncle
Joe" Cannon, or whoever has to pay for it,
until 1t Is bought, planted and trodden in
they may be able to turn their attention to
some needs nearer the cfty's center.
On the way out to that sorely-needed
tree is Columbia road, between 10Th and
18th streets. 1t is beyond question that
no other stretch Of roadway Of equal size
anywhere in the District is as necessary to
traffic Between 18th and 18th street, ie.
between Columbia Heights and Washington
Heights, it is a case of Columbia road or
nothing north of Florida avenue. For most
of the winter the mal-admnistration of our
highway affairs rendered that road slough
of despond to teamsters; it was actually
closed to them for some time. Not con-
tent with that the sidewalks were allowed
to be torn up at the same time on both
sides of the street and for several months
pedestrians have had to take to the mid
die of the road, a la Wharton Bankers
party. or stay at home. These sidewalks
still remain unpaved, and those of us who
will need to walk to see the planting of
that tree will have to take to the car
tracks. E. MURRAY-AARON.

Lecture on International comu.rc.

Dr. John Franklin Crowell of the treasury
bureau OF statistics yesterday afternoon de-
nVered before the school Of comparative
Jurisprudence and diplomacy Of Columbian
Law School the sixth lecture in the series
on international commerce. dealing In this
case with the American commercial policy
toward manufactures. After showing that
Hamilton laid the basis for the protective
policy toward manufactures in his report
or 17o1, and that Clay developed 1t in con-
nectlon with internal improvement, he
pointed out that on the present scale of
productive output with which the national
Industries had equipped themselves we had
three ways open, by one or more Of which
national prosperity might be continued.
FIRST, we could enter upon regime Of low
er prices and thus stimulate domestic con-
sumption, the possibilities of which had not
by any means been as yet exhausted; sec
ond, we could operate our manufacturing
system on the basis of a reduced output,
winch would not necessarily mean either
reduced profits or lower wages; third, we
could enter vigorously upon the develop
ment OF foreign markets, for doing which
we are better equipped from the productive
standpoint than any other nation but COM
mercially we are the poorest equipped Of
the great Industrial nations, largely for
want of a merchant marine
