Seriously Wounded.

Pueblo, Colo March l8.--A daring
attempt at robbery and brutal tragedy
in the most fashionable restaurant cre-
ated intense excitement early this even
ing. The robbers, two in number, and
both small men, wore black masks.
They first entered the back door OF
Loestau's fine cafe opposite the opera
house, advanced half way the length OF
the long room and then went back.
Presently they re-entered by the
front door. One went to the cashier g
desk, the other attempted to rob guests
at the tables. He held a revolver to
ward DR.. ]. H. Turner, who was eating
his supper, and told him to throw up
his hands. The doctor was surprised
and hesitated, whereupon the robber
fred full in his face, killing the doctor
instantly and scattering blood and
brains all over the corner Of the cafe.
Then the desperate attacked another
guest, G. B. Bishop, and shot him in
the left side. without securing any
booty the ruffians fed. Bishop was
taken to hospital and is in a critical
condition.
The robbers in their escape we're fred
upon by policeman and his bullet
perforated a plate glass window, but
thus far there is no clue.

REYES ON CANAL TREATY.
Colombian Vice President Does Not Like
Our Control Of Isthmus.

Colon, Colombia, March l7.-Gene.
raj Rafael Reyes, vice president of Co.
lombia, who reached the isthmus two
days ago from Mexico, was interviewed
here today by press representative.
With reference to the Hay Herran con-
vention he spoke guardedly and did
not appear disposed to discuss its terms
or the probability OF its ratification by
the Colombian congress.
He seemed to have reason to believe,
however, that the present interpreta-
tion by the United States of its obliga-
tory rights to maintain. free transit
across the isthmus and its manner of
enforcing these rights has created a
very unfavorable impression through
out the Colombian republic. He said
the politicians who would be called
upon to decide the fate of the canal
would not be likely to forget the humil-
iating incidents which occurred during
the recent insurgent hostitities between
her and Panama.

THEIR PENSIONS ALLOWED.
Union Veterans Who Had Served as Con-
federates Can 90 on Rolls.

iederates Can 10 on kolIs.
Washington, March l9.--The inter-
ior department has decided that the
bar to allowing pension to soldiers
who served in the Union army during
the Civil war, and who had previously
served in the Confederate army is re-
moved by section Of the joint resolu-
ton OF July /. 1902, relating to the
pensionable status Of such soldiers, and
it is held to be unnecessary for such
claiminants to file a new application
for pension subsequent to July /, 1902.
The application OF these veterans, fled
previous to that date. ii is held, gives
them legal status as penison claim
ants. The decision was the last one
signed by Assistant Secretary Campbell
before relinquishing the Office of assist
ant secretary.
The department holds that claimants
who had been pensioned and afterward
dropped from the rollbooks OF such
service are enlisted to restoration, and
that those who had claims pending
which we're ratified under a depart
ment decision in 1894 are entitled to
have their claims adjudicated on their
merits, Notwithstanding previous Con-
federate service.

Visit the Islands.

President Roosevelt viii Be Urged to
Visit the Islands.
Honolulu, March 19.-The people OF
the Hawaiian islands are very much
interested in the western trip of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and for some time past
leading citizens have. been discussing
the matter with a view to asking the
president to extend his trip beyond San
Francisco and come here. An urgent
invitation has been forwarded to the
president, inviting him to visit the
Hawaiian islands, and it is planned
that in the event Of his acceptance Of
the invitation to arrange system Of
wireless telegraphy SO that the steamer
on which the presidential party travels
will be in constant communication with
the mainland and with the Hawaiian
islands. In this way the president can
be informed daily OF the trend of ma
tional affairs, and can direct the ma
chinery of the government from the
vessel on which he travels.
In the event OF matters requiring the
presidents immediate return to Wash
ington, it will be an easy matter for the
details of the return trip to be arranged
by wireless telegraph and no time will
be lost by delayg either here or in San
Francisco in the arranging Of the route
of travel and other details incidental to
the trip of the president from either
Honolulu or San Francisco ON his re-
turn across the continent.

New Vessels.

Washington, March 1S.-The selec-
tion OF the name "Idaho" for one Of
the l3, 900 ton battleships was made by
direction of the president as a compli-
ment to Senator Hepburn, the Republi-
can senator from that state. President
Roosevelt had conversed with Senator
Hepburn several times, and at once
formed a very great liking for him. As
soon as the naval bill was passed and
the question OF naming the bsttleships
came up the president insisted that one
should bear the name Of Idaho, and so
directed Secretary Moody. Senator
Hepburn preferred no such request as
THE, although be appreciated the cour-
tesy. When he called on the presi-
dent yesterday he was told that the
selection of Idaho was compliment to
him, and made for no other purpose.

tracts of about 400 acres on the tribu-
taries Of Grande Ronde and Wallows
rivers in Wallowa and Union counties

in getting this withdrawal, indicating
that the state desired to establish fish

but, having no valid lieu base at this
time, was unable to make the selection
in its own name. The land withdrawn
is in I. N, R. Al E. and 7. 5 NJ, R.

At the request of Representative
Moody, the land commissioner has ex-
tended for 80 days the time in which
the state of Oregon shall show cause
why list IL, which was filed under the
Carey act by the Oregon Development
company for lands on the Upper Des-
chutes river, should not be rejected.
Owing to bad weather and hindrances
to travel, it has been impossible to Sc
cure the necessary affidavits in the first
80 days allowed.

LAND OPEN TO SETTLERS.
vast Tract of 100000 Acres in South
ern California.

Los Angeles, March H. The United
States, through the federal land office
at Los Angeles, will open to settlers
within the next go days about 1,OOO,-
900 acres of land in California. This
land is situated between Needles and
Majave, and borders the Colorado river.
Much of it is valuable agriculturally.
The prospective throwing open of its
vast tract to settlement is the result of
a recent dcision OF the United States
supreme court With respect to the fam
GUS grant made to the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad by act of July, 1866.
In the territory which embraces
this great tract the Southern
Pacific has selection privilege. Au-
thority for the receiving of entry apph.
cations for the 1000, 900 acres in ques-
tion has been received from Washing
ton by the officials of the United States

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.
VIII Probably Cause an Increase In Coast
Insurance Rates.

San Francisco, March 19,-George
H. Tyson, has prepared figures showing
that the losses by fire on the Pacific
coast from December l to March are
$1,000,0 900 above the usual basis of loss.
The normal losses have more than dou-
bled since December /
Taking the corresponding three
months in 1902 and comparing them
with 1902.3 for the months mentioned,
Tyson finds the total increase is from
81. .022 ,O35 to $2,2l5 1862, the difference
against the last-indicated period being
$l93,627. There have been several
fires in which the losses amounted to
an excess of $3.50, 900 each, and one
fire made up total loss Of 5000, 900.
1t is thought an increase in rates may
be necessary if the ratio Of loss contin-
ues to be. 80 lasting.
