Garner tried to kldnap the babies

doesn't know anything about babies
and isn't disposed to learn.

Views and Interviews.

Luther Basford: Yes, l am near
ly ninety years of age, and my
health has been good all summer.
During my life have had my share
of the good things of the world,
and SO there is no cause for COM
plant Have seen wonderful changes
in my time. AS youngster of
eighteen I rode on the first railroad
train ever run in the United States,
in 1882, between Albany and Schen-
ectady. The cars were built like
the old Concord stage coaches,
only some longer, and the rails
were of wood with a strap Of iron
on top. There were no women on
the train, and every man believed
he was taking his life into his own
hands on that historical trip. But
there were venturesome men in
those days, as now, and Thurlow
Weed and Gov. Marcy were two
of the passengers. We had to stop
a mile from town and have the
train taken into the city with
horses, as the people we're afraid
that the engine would set the town
afire. We made about twelve miles
an hour. The improvements in all
lines have been nearly or quite as
wonderful as railroad development.
Surely, this has been the most
wonderful century in the worlds
history.

SEVEN DAYS IN A BoxcAR.
Chinese Found at Los Angeles in a
PitiabIe Pliqht.


Los Angeles.-Six Chinese were ia
ken from a boxcar that had just ar
rived over the Southern Pacific in a
pitiable condition, having been sealed
up in their prison at Juarez, Mexico,
in order to smuggle themselves into
the United States. For seven days
they lay in a car filed with goods, four
days without water and food.
In their ignorance and fear of being
discovered and arrested the unfortu-
nate men suffered the tortures of thirst
and the pangs of hunger without MAX
ing cutlery. When they were found to-
day and taken out they were in a state
of complete physical exhaustion and
almost unable to stand. The Chinese
say they were placed in the car by an
employee of the Mexican National rail-
road at Juarez in consideration of $25.

Score OF People injured by the Elk
plosion.
New York, Aug. 10.-A bomb thrown
into crowd of Italians in One Hun
dred and Fifteenth street injured a
score or more and led to the arrest of
Vincenzo Donetto. Donetto, the DO
lice believe, is member of the BLACK
Hand" society. which for some time
has terrorized residents of the Italian
district here, extorting money from
them by threats and acts of violence.
Donetto was himself more severely
injured by the bomb than any of the
others, one leg being badly torn. Two
rival saioonkeepers on opposite street
corners were giving away beer, in an
effort to Guido each other, and crowd
surrounded each place.
Peter Dimero, who was acting as
doorkeeper at one of the saloons, says
that Donetto approached him and de-
manded money, which was refused.
He Immediately stepped back, took a
bomb from his pocket, lighted its fuse
and threw it. An explosion followed,
and men, women and children ran
screaming from the place. Donetto was
knocked down, but soon recovered
sufficiently to be able to get away.

JAps PRAISE kuRoPATkiN.
Ability to Withdraw From Old POSI-
ton Causes Admiration.


General Kuropatkn's success in ex
Treating his army from the Liaotune
peninsula without disaster has ELECTED
much praise from tue Japanese. The
concentration of his army at Kaichor
at one time seemed to involve it in
disaster. 1t was popularity believed
that a general and decisive battle
would ve fought e..ler at Tatchekiao
or at naicheng.
1t Is considered here that Kuropat-
kin sacrificed his prestige by abandon
Ing an immense territory witnout a
battle. He was forced to abandon or
destroy valuable stores and munitions
of war when transportation was the
most serious problem to the Russians.
He also impaired the morale of his
army, but he preserved his men and
guns. 1t is evident that he had hoped
and planned to check the Japanese at
Tatchekiao. Then, after holding the
enemy in check, it is believed to have
been his purpose to concentrate his re-
naming force at Liaoyang and to
strike huroki.
Crisis Near.
The unexpected loss Of the Russian
left at Tatchekiao and the appearance
of the Japanese Takushan army on the
flank forced the abandonment and sur
render, without fight, OF Kinkow,
Haicneng and 4sewchwang. 1t is gener-
ally Delieved that the crisis will come
shortly at Liaoyang and that Kuropat-
kin will be forced to give battle, what
ever his present purpose may be. Cen
eral Oku's and the Takushan armies
are pressing northward, and General
Kuroh is close at hand, ready to take
any part necessary in the general Jap
anese play.
The possession of Yinkow has enor-
mously simpllfied the transportation
problem for the Japanese. 1t gives
their two armies freedom of move
ment whlcn they have heretofore not
The japanese are speedily

slams failed to seriously damage in
