A BARBAROUs SYSTEM
or Furnishing Offending Officers of the
 British Army.

London, February 10.-Rear Admiral Basil Cochran, retired, in letter pup lished by the London Times today, makes astounding revelations regard ing the "barbarous system" prevailing among the Guards regiments for the punishment of subalterns who are found guilty of social or military of- lenses. According to Rear Admiral Cochran. the colonel of one battalion has been in the habit of handing over offending officers. to the senior sub alterns.
 The latter summon a court-martial at which the attendance of all the suS- alterns is exacted, and the sentence is almost invariably fogging. This is ad- ministered on the bare back, after the removal of all the clothing, and from six to forty blows with a cane are given with such severity as to draw blood aI- most every stroke. All officers present are compelled to administer a blow.

 STRIKE COMMISSIONERS
Opened Yesterday With an Attack on
 the Union.

Philadelphia, February 1G.-The Unit cd Mine Workers of America as an or Sanizat:on was severely scored today by the counsel before the anthracite coal commission.

EXcURSIONISTS
 WENT ON 4 ROCK
Thrilling Experience Near the Island
 of Bermuda.

Hamilton, Bermuda, February 1O.-
 The Quebec steamship company's
 steamer Mediana. Captain Fraser,
 which sailed from New Yor;s last Sat
 urday, with a party of excursiontsts,
 for 2 special cruise around the Carib-
 bean islands, went ashore on the reef
 off this island at o'clock this morn
 ing. The passengers had a thrilling experience.
 The ship is a total loss but all on b srd were rescued and brought safe ly to land after q perilous trip in life
 boats from the wreck.to a tug standing mile off. The mails and passengers baggage also were saved
 According to the statements made by those on board, the Mediana was threading her way in the night through the marrow channel between the coral reef which leads to Hamilton harbor when she struck Q reef one and a half miles northeast of north rock. No ex- plic1t explanation is yet forthcoming as to how the vessel went on the rocks and the only information cbtaina ble from the officers is that the light which ! indicates the channel could not be seen.
 All the passengers were in their
 hunks when the Mediana struck the rocks but the shock of the impact awakened them and they rushed on deck. the majority of them without at tempting to dress. Much alarm
 though not a panic prevailed among the passengers when they found that the vessel was hard on the rocks. but the officers went among them and
 canned them although a number did
 not venture below again to seek their clothing. A part of the crew did not
 snare the coolness Of the officers. but the latter soon restored order anong. the troublesome seamen.
 Signals of distress were sent up and the passengers had an anxious time curlng the latter part of the night. The Madiana listed heavily after a
 tune and when morning broke fay broadside to the wind.

SMALL DOCTORS BILLS. Scientific Feeding the Way to Reduce
 Them.

A little science in the selection of food leads to good health and smaller doc- tors bills. III health not only cuts down the earnings but increases the cost of living, too. How many men and women would like to save the biggest part of what they now pay out for sickness yearly? As most ailments come from improper feeding it stands to reason you won't need the doctor so often if you feed yourself and family right and the doctor would be pleased as well
 The Principal of the well known TIol- land Academy at Rockville. Texas, writes as follows: Having been q: user of Grape Nuts for the past two years I beg to offer a testimony of the effect it has had upon myself and fam. fly

 MT. Cullom said he would move at. executive session to take up the tre-- ties as soon as the consent of the advo- cates of the statehood bill can be ob- tained. They are still in a position to prevent executive sessions of any length which would prevent a discus sion on the statehood bill.

Sierra. President Zelaya of Nicaragua and President Regalado ot Salvador, are convinced that General Sierra will net allow the meeting of the Hondur- an congress. Senator Alvardo Guer- rero, one of Sierra's ministers, has left him to join President-elect Bonilla, who has organized his government at Amapala island.
 The origin of the present conflict is the opposition of President Cabrera of Guatemala to the intervention of Sal vador and Nicaragua in favor of Gen. cral Sierra.

Washington, February 10 (SpeciaD-- So far as surface indications showed there were no important developments in the statehood question today The enemies of the bill still claim that a compromise will be effected along the lines upon which efforts Lave been di- rected for week-that is, the consoli- dation of New Mexico and AIizoaa as one state, and Oklahoma and the h. dian territory as one state. There is much difficulty, however, in getting the people of Oklahoma and the Indian ter ritory lined up together on the con- promise proposition. A large majority of the residents of Oklahoma prefer to be admitted separately from the Indian territory, but a considerable minority comprising the democratic leaders or the territory wish the Indian territory included.
 The republican leaders who are ac- tempting to engineer the compromise arc between two fires. They wish to please Oklahoma republicans, but they recognize that in order to command the support of democratic senators they must include the Indian territory. which would make the new state ove-- whelmingly democratic. It is figured that the two proposed states from these four territories would be a stand-ofr, politically, Oklahoma being democratic and Arizona republican.

T cannot understand why the people of Arizona should be so bitterly opposed to consolidation with New Mexico Surely they do not understand the pro- position clearly. Our opponents propose to admit the two territories as ore state, under the name of Arizona. in this it seems to me the people or Ari- zona would get the best of the bargain. fer the new state would be Arizona, and not New Mexico. In reality, Arizona would absorb New Mexico. rather than the contrary It amounts to the en- large1nent of Arizcna's boundaries ana giving her statehood In addition to that, is is conceded that Arizona ha, the most progressive class OF citizens. From my knowledge of the American character I am confident that these Arizona people would dominate n the affairs of the new state No other rs- suit would be possible, fer Americana always lead.

 The clerical force of the department practically will be transferred from other departments but some new posi- tions will be created. These already are much in demand.

 The remainder of the day was devot- ed to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr Cannon, chairman of the ap- priations committee, gave notice that at the proper time he would move two amendments, one to provide for the purchase of a site and the erection of Ia three-story, four hundred-office Building for members and others, and an appropriation of $2,500,0OO to carry out the original plans for beauti flying and enlarging the main wing of the capitol.
 The notable feature of the debate on the bill was a speech by MT. DeAr- mond on the Hanna bill, to pension eX- slaves. He spoke in . sarcastic vein but the subject assumed serious phase when MT.

STILL THEY COME
Another Electric Railway fol
Greeley Proposed.

Electric railways are fairly, y,pouring
in upon Greeley now since George j.
Spear started the ball a-roling few
weeks ago. Last Saturday Colonel
f. E. Meredith OF Fort Lupton, with
d. F. Carmichael and j. j. Cahifl
of Denver, were in Greeley talking to
business men here about proposed
line to connect Greeley with Denver
direct. The three gentlemen came
up from Denver in an automobile,
going practically over the route it is
desired TO follow. The line, it was
stated, is rot intended to in any way
conflict with the one already pro-
posed. 1t will ne run in the most
direct line that can be secured from
Greeley to Denver.
Mr.. Cahill. who promoted the Den
yer Packing company some years ago,
seems to be thoroughly in earnest in
this matter and it is he who claims
to have the financial backing for the
scheme. 1t is believed that the
country through which the line will
pass will be developed sufficiently to
Justify the expenditure in building
the proposed line.
Mr.. Carmichael is a Denver real
estate man. Colonel Meredith is the
only Weld county man so far inter-
ested, and he states that he simply
