price. In the face of these facts we
are told by the Pierre hoard OF trade
in a circular letter hat is being
distributed,that there sre 696,03l47
acres OF school and endowment lands
located In counties contiguous to
Pierre which will be enhanced inyalue
$40 per acre, and can be sold % years
sooner if the capital is retained at
Pierre.
In our former article we wrstaLea that
land in Walworth county is. assessed
higher than In Hughes county. and
for this we are accused of ''knucking''
the northern portion Of the state.
Ask the people OF Walworth county
whether they consider it so.>
In the March sale OF school lands,
land in Brown county sold at from
$22 to .$37 per acre; in Sphinx at from
$40 to $22, and in Beadle at from $l5
to SIS, a gradual decrease in price as
you go south and approach nearer to
the capita;.
Is this knocking the north part Of
the state? Ask the citizens Of Brown
county. In the statement by the
Pierre board Of trade we read:
The loss also from rents and the
loss to the state from retarding its
development is almost iucalculabie.
A reference to the last biennial re-
port of the land commissioner, the
tablesshowing the minimum leasing
rates per acre Of school lands in var.
ious counties. will show that there is
not county in the state east of the
Missouri river in which the leasing
price is lower than it is in Hughes
county liz which the capital is located.
This does not look as though the
location of the capital has very much
to do with regulating the leasing
! price of the school lands, and If re-
moval would occasion any loss 1T
would be ''incalculable" beca:7se 1T
would be SO infinitesimally small

opposed to both the Elkins and the
administration plans. Mr.. Bacon says
that the interstate commerce commits
sion should be maintained exactly as it
is, both as to it's membership and its
freedom from executive domination
He stands for the plain issue Of more
more power to this commission.
The Presidents Idea.
The presidents idea may be said to
be this: The power to regulate the
railroads comes from the people. It
is exercised through congress, but
the executive branch of the govern
ment is the one which is supposed to
carry out the will of the people in the
first instance; afterwards appeal may
be had to the courts, but matters Of
general policy are delegated by the
people to the president whom they
elect If the people elect president
with the idea that he will see that
certain railroad abuses are corrected
by federal control. the president feels
that he has a right to control the in
by which those reforms
are necessarily brought about-namely
the interstate commerce commission.

GIGANTIC GRAFT SYSTEM WHICH
PROTECTS GAMBLERS Barred
TO GRAND JURY.
Sergeant Ellis Made . Clean Breast
Of the Whole Business Of the
Work.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 2s.-A
police scandal, seemingly of immense
proportions, which has been in the air
for some days, assumed definite shape
today. when Police Sergeant Thomas
p. Ellis confessed that there was an
organized system Of police protection
for Chinese gambling houses.
Sergeant Ellis made a clean breast
of the whole business OF the police
protection. His story was told this az
ternoon to the police committee Of the
grand jury. Ellis admitted that he
permitted the gambling houses to run
wide open and that he sent warnings
ahead Of raids contemplated by Com
missioner Hutton, but he says that in
so doing ne acted under private in
structions from his superior, George
w. Whitman, chief of police.
He declared further that the Chinese
gamblers pay $4,000 a month for pro-
lection. Indictments are likely to fol-
low.

ADMIRAL TERRY RETIRES.
United States Navy Lost Valuable
Officer Today.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2s.-The
United States navy loses a valuable
and popular officer in the person Of
Rear Admiral Silas Wright Terry, who
was placed on the retired list today
by operation of the age limit. Admiral
Terry is now on his way here from the
far east.
Admiral Terry retires with a grand
record as a fighting sailor in Uncle
academy in 1868 from Kentucky, and
went through the civil war with extra
ordinary honor. He was in the Red
River expedition as commander Of the
transport Benefit. Admiral Porter, in
a letter to the secretary of the navy,
wrote several hundred words of the
highest praise of Terry, who was then
an ensign. The president advanced
the young man five numbers in his
grade for the gallant work he did on
that expedition. In 1854 he was placed
on Admiral Porter's staff and served
in that capacity until the end of the
war. The past thirty years of Al
miral Terry's life have been spent in
shifting from one post to another in
the naval service. During the past
year he has served as naval COM
mandant at Honolulu.

BEARS RAID A VILLAGE.
Siberian Town Of Ustkamchatka As
sailed by Hungry Bruins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ga bear
raid of kind entirely foreign to Wall
street has been experienced by the in
habitants of a little Siberian town in
Ustkamchatka. 1t was a raid by hum
cry and ferocious bruins, and ended
in the total determination of the raid
ers. The steamer Harold Dollar has
arrived from the Siberian coast with
furs, which included cargo of 400
bear skins, a majority of which were
taken at the village of Ustkamchatka,
which was invaded by the beasts in
droves.
Captain Thwing of the Harold DOL
lar states that the bears were driven
from the mountains by hunger ana
came down to the villages to search
for food. One hundred and fifty were
shot at the town Of Ustkamchatka by
the natives.
1T was a most unusual state Of
affairs" said Captain Thwine 1.-The
villagers shot the beasts from win
dows and door steps. The bears came
boldly into town in bands numbering
as high as 20.
Most of the bears were of the polar
variety, though some were cinnamon,
and a few black. The season had
been an exceptionally severe one, the
drouth in the mountains being fol-
lowed by heavy SHOWS, forcing the
bears to forage along the coast ranges,
where they are seldom seen.
In spite Of the slaughter of so
many bruins, and their foreclosures,
the killing was effected without the
injury of a single native, though many
caught in the woods by bears had mar
row escapes until rescued by parties
of hunters.
"One was who was thus surrounded
by the hungry beasts while in the
dense timber was accompanied by his
II years of age, while agile was ex-
ceedingly small for his age. A par
ticularly large bear grasped the boy
by his heavy coat and started through
the timber with him. The father rap
idly ascending a nearby tret, and
while witnessing the boy disappear in
the animals clutches managed to give
the alarm to a neighbor who resided
nearby. He hurriedly came to his
friends rescue and was Joined by sew
eral others who had started for the
village. The party Immediately set
out after the bear that had captured
the boy, and after a short time over
took and killed the beast. The boy
was uninjured his heavy clothing hav-
| ing protected him from the bears
teeth.

French Cannon Pronounced a Terror

French Cannon Pronounced Terror.
PARIS, Dec. 2S.-Interest is caused
here by the recent experiments with a
new cannon, a secret invention The
most recent tests were made at
Havre last Sunday in the presence of
Berteaux, the minister of war, and
fifty deputies and senator's
The merit of the invention is the
extreme simplicity of the mechanism.
Three men can operate it, one to sight
one to attend to the breech and one
whose duties are a secret 1t produces
a whistling noise, heard a mile ana a
half away, so powerful is the force of
the shot. No ship in any navy will be
able to withstand it.
Although fired $50 times, the gun
apparently was unchanged, whereas
usually the life of a cannon is 500
shots. French military expert, dis
cussing the new cannon, estimates
that 100 such cannon would protect the
entire coast of France The cost of
the cannon is said to be 500, 00O in
Guiding a quota of projectiles.
