PEOPLE OF PERSIA.


Persia. where lying is a social accomplishment
and graft recognized business principle has
again appeared before the footghts of Euro

her manager. The other powers have re

tine has taken ingenue part, and though
Manchura and Macedonia vie in playing the
villain and making far more noise the spec
tstors have each eye ancient but coquet-
tish Persia.
The cause of Persia's temperance is the yeiled
threat which Great Britain made few dayy
ago against any power which dared encroach
on the Shah's domains. No foreign nation. says
England shall establish naval base in the Per

Marquis of Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary.
would be regarded as a very grave menace to
British interests. and would certainly resist
il with all the means at our disposal" This
move is to protect the English trade with India
and the East and prevent Russia, which bor-
ders Persia on the north. from seeking a railroad
terminus in the Persian Gulf. The significance
of such a threat is therefore great While the
United States stOutly asserts the Monroe Doc

a similar guardianship this part of Asia

what he may be whispering to another. 1t thus

that in the army of any other country. Under
the regulations it is required that every SOL

athletic exercises aside from the ''set-up ex-

through by their nOn-commissioned officers. On
field days" they go through variety OF per
formances that are calculated to increase their
agility improve their health. coordinate their
muscular systems. etc.
But the daily routine of duty while in bar

WHITE HOUSE TOO COSTLY
Vote for Executiv Mansion Leads to
severe Structures I'm House of
Representatives.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Feb. 12.-The
house made slow progress with the sundry
civil bill today, covering only q pages
and leaving 40 pages still to be disposed
Of. The delays today were occasioned by
a rather protracted discussion Of the item
for the maintenance Of the White House
and considerable debate upon the APP
preparation Of $4,000. 900 for the relief of
distress in the Philippines.
Mr.. Gaines, CTenn.) and Mr.. Fitzgerald,
IN. " criticised the greatly increased
cost OF maintaining the White House.
An amendment to cut in half the APP
Precipitation for the relief Of distress in the
Philippines was defeated but the language
OF the paragraph was modified to require
annual reports concerning expenditure.
The conference report on the bill to
create a general stan in the army, was
adopted.
After some further routine business. the
house vent into committee of the whole
and resumed consideration OF the sundry
civil bill.
When the item appropriating $50, 900 for
the care OF the executive mansion was
reached, Mr.. Gaines. (Tenn.) asked why
this appropriation hSd been increased from
. S25, 900.
Mr.. Cannon, Ql.) replied by calling at.
tentIon to the enlargement OF the White
House and the construction of the new
executive Offices. These changes, he said,
increased the expenses.
Mr.. Gaines quoted the report Of Colonel
Bingham to s~ubstantiate a claim, but the
increased expenses at the White House
were due TO the large amount of enter
tanning done by the president. He did not
believe the people should be taxed for
these entertainments. He was sorry
$500, 900 had been spent TO remodel the
old White House.
Mr.. Cannon. in reply, was glad the old
White House had been oyerhauled, but
confessed that the new executive ofhces
had disappointed him. 81 think" said he.
I'VE we're entitled to a better building for
the money
Mr.. Fitzgerald. IN. " referred to a
transfer had been due to his holding up
certain vouchers in connection with the
White House improvements.
"Will not the gentleman state that Col
onel Bingham says he was transferred al
his own request?" asked Mr.. Graham
(Pa).
Oh replied Mr.. Fitzgerald. 1T is the
common thing for officers whose future
Is In the service, TO make statements eX-
oneTating their superiors. But in my
opinion, IL reflects upon the president OF
the United States TO have IL intimated
that an oficer is being coerced into APP
proving expenditures his judgment does
not sanction"
Mr.. Cochran CMo.) inveighed against the
growing extravaganza in ofhcial circles
the constant demand for Increased salaries
and allowances. He described onhcial fune.
tions as an attempt to initiate court circles
abroad. Poor men could not accept po-
sitiOns in the cabinet or on the bench
because OF the social expenses entaileC
and he thought that was an argument fol

PLENTY OF WORK FOR COURT
Criminal and Civil Docket both Gen.
tain Some Important
Cases.

DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 12.-(Special)-
The February term OF circuit court for
the Eighth judicial circuit Of South Da-
kota, is in session at Deadwood, and the
grand jury is at work.
There are several criminal assault cases
to be considered by the grand jury, in
which a number Of well known men are
involved, and sensational developments are
looked for. The arrests were made several
months ago, and the principals were re-
leased under bonds. II is expected that
the bonds Of a number will be forfeited, as
the men have left the country, and their
bondsmen have been trying for several
weeks to locate them. The girl in the
case is only IA years old. and the Women's
Christian Temperance Union Of Deadwood
has taken up the case to assist in the pros
ecution.
II Albert Turner, charged with the MUIR
der of E. NJ. Dunlap at Lead, is returned
from Nebraska in time to be given a hear
ing before the grand Jury adjourns, it is
probable he will be indicted. Otherwise
the case may go over until the next grand
jury assemblies.
Next Monday the petit jury will report
and the civil calendar will be taken up.
The famous -four bin case from spearhsh
will be tried, and will probably be the
most important civil cause to be heard.
This is a case wherein the Bank of Spear
fish is suing TO recover on notes given by
prominent citizens OF Spearfsh to Messrs.
Camp e. Cross for patent rights. Camp &
Cross sold the notes to the bank, and pay
ment was resisted on the ground that fraud
had been practiced in obtaining the notes.
The case was tried here two years ago and
the court instructed the j:ry to return a
verdict for the bank. The case was ap-
pealed and a new trial was ordered by the
sunreme court.

DEADWOOD. s.. D.. Feb. 12.-(special)-
Small boys set fire TO the old water tank
in Deadwood and it was entirely destroyed.
It had been in disuse several years, since
the building OF a new reservoir, but the
city had intended to repair II and use 1t
again. The tank was built in 1879, imme-
diately after the destruction OF Deadwood
by FIRE. Had 1t been completed thirty days
sooner it is not likely that the fire would
have proven so destructive. 1t was Of 220.-

by the Homestake Mining company for the
