Wealthy Providence ManufacturGF
 Missing Since Nov. 2. LINCOLN, R. l., Dec. 5.-The body of Albert Holbrook, the wealthy man. ufacturer of Providence, who mysteri- ousIy disappeared from his home on Nov. 2, was found by Bertram Jenks, a boy who while skating on Stump Hill pond saw the body floating in the wa teT under the ice. A hole was cut in the ice and the body recovered. There was nothing to indicate foul play.
 MT. Holbrook, who was the senior member of the firm of A. x c. ". Hol- brook, manufacturers of cotton pick CTS, left his home late in the afternoon of Nov. during the absence of his family and without leaving any word with the servants.
 Since that time there had been no trace of him, and large sums of money have been spent in the effort to find him.

animals, and, pressing nis horse forward, soon found himself snvelopsd in the mass and completely surrounded by the creatures plunging madly forward with lowered heads to escape from the danger that instinct taught threatened them. The of1cer's companions more prudently drew aIongtside the herd as they gall loped forward, and hugging tho edges of the mass, endeavored to pick out ami malB suitable for food.
 The herd finally passed out of ths meadow and ascending the rising ground beyond, entered an elevated re- zion that stretched away into the almost boundless plains. For many weary miles the odlcer rode with the herd, 5ammed in between the huge creatures that com posed it. He drew in on the bridle rein repeatedly, hoping to be able to fall be- hind while tho herd passed on.
 A narrow ravine suddenly presented itself directly traversing the line of flight of the butfalo. As the head of the herd reached the near bank a small party of Cheyenne Indians that had sought shelter within it to watch the troops-now marching in plain view a mile or more away-quIcEly rose up and Haunted their robes in an effort to turn the beasts aside. The herd instantly broke into two parts, separating in diff ferent directions, and in doing so opened the way for the escape of the oflcer, who, turning his horse about, found himself directly entirely free from the herd.
 He had, however, escaped one danger to be immediately confronted by an- other.
 Fortunately tha dust made by the lum- bering buffalo hid his movements tenn porariIy, but as the air became clear the Indians caught sight of him, and instant ly gave chase.
 In the meanwhile, the scout and tho soldier, who had accompanied the officer, had returned to the command and re- ported the misadventure into which, their companion had fallen. A detach- ment of mounted men was quickly dis patched under lieutenant to render such assistance as might be possible. Hurrying forward rapidly the detach- ment came at length into view of thS of lcer urging his weary beast forward, followed q few hundred yards away by q doEen or more sorHeching oAvageS on !heir feetest ponies. The troops i'm statnly spurred their horses forward to their utmost speed in the hope of being able to reach the officer in time to save him. The Cheyennes the meanwhile were rapidly closing upon him, and had almost reached him when the troops opened fire. The Indians immaStatelY haran fo wAYer and an instant fhAPa- after turning about scampeRSd away as rapidly as they had come, and soon passed out of view in the haSy atmoR- pheFe of the Great Staked plain.

RIDE WITH BUFFALoEs.
A Soldiers Experience on the West. eFn Pains.

One of the most exciting and ndinspir1ng scenes that ever presented itself to the American hunter, was found in the inn mense herds of buffalo that in the early days often dotted the landscape of the western plains. As far as the eye could reach on these occasions, great herds of the creatures could be seen moving about over the green expanse upon which they fed.
 Before the buffalo finally disappeared, 1t was my good fortune to hold a com
 nand in a body of troops operating in the Pan-Handle of Texas, in an effort to drive the Cheyenne Indians, then on the war path, back to their reservation in the Indian Territory.
 When the buffalo grazing grounds of this region were reached, the officers and men were alike impatient for permission to hunt, but the Cheyennes having ap- peared upon our fianlSs, absence from the command was too hazardous to be per mitted. Finally, however, one day when She country seemed somewhat open, an ofacer obtained, permission to spend Jaw hours in hunting among the herds. Taking with him mounted soldier and q Navajo Indian scout, he rode away from the moving column and soon passed out of view in the broken ground that bordered the Canadian river a few miles away. He had scarcely reached the bank of the river when he came sud- denly upon an immense herd of buffalo quietly feeding in little grasS-covered meadow along small tributary Of the stream. Turning to his companions, he beckoned them to follow, and dashed at once headlong towards the herd. A few old bulls on sentry duty along the edge O1 the meadow, threw their heads in the air es hA approached, end with loud snorts of fear ran towards the herd Tn moment the whole mass was in motion, numbering away towards the plain country beyond. The view was wonder fully HnspirIting, and the oficer, acting upon the impulse of the moment, gal loped tYnpatuously towards the fleeing

CANAL ZONE PACT.
Secretary of War and President Anna.
 dor Agree.

PANAMA, Dec 5.-The differences between the United States and Pana- ma, which made necessary the visit of Secretary of War Taft to the isthmus, were settled yesterday Sunday by the issuance of an executive order signed by Secretary Taft for President Roose- welt and assented to in letter by Pres ident Amador of Panama.
 The order provides that no trade for the canal zone or the republic of Pana- ma can enter the ports established by the United States at either end of the canal, supplies for the construction of the canal and articles ill transit being excepted. This turns the customs re- ceipts of these ports over to the gov ernment of Panama.
 Panama agrees to reduce her tariff from 15 per cent ad valorem to 10 per cent. This reduction applies to all goods except wine, liquors, alcohol and opium. Panama also agrees to reduce her consular. fees and port charges to 60 per cent of the rates at present charged. ,.. K
 Absolutely free trade is to apply be- AWCCh LAG CA11dA hOuG 0hS JA1G A1RuDAAG of Panama. Vessels entering the canal ports are granted free entry to the ports of Colon and Panama, and yes seIs entering the latter ports are ex- tended the same privileges in the canal ports.
 Complete Jurisdiction is granted the United States in the harbors of Colon and Panama as to sanitation and quar- antine regulations.
 Panama reduces her rate of postage to 2 cents and is to furnish all stamps in the republic and in the canal zone.
 The zone authorities are to purchase stamps from Panama at 40 per cent of their face value.
 The order of Secretary Taft is to be ineffective unless Panama shall put into effect the gold standard, accord ing to the currency agreement of June 20, 1904. It also makes a stipulation regarding citizenship rights of Pana- mans in the canal zone, and provision is also made in the order for mainte- nance by the United States of impor- tant highways, partly in and partly out of the canal zone, and also the building of a hospital.
 Secretary Taft has received letter signed by President Amador and Senor Guardia, secretary of foreign affairs, reading in part as follows:
 Aside from the wisdom and justice evidenced by this happy solution of the differences between the United States and the republic of Panama, permit me to express, in behalf of the republic and of myself and advisors, our gratitude for your gracious visit to Panama and your patient, judicial and statesmanlike consideration of the sub jects involved"
 Secretary of War Taft, President Amador and party of 300 Panamans have gone by steamer to Pearl islands. A cordial indorsement by the people of Panama of the agreement on the points of difference regarding the canal zone government which has been reached by Secretary Taft and the Panama gov ernment will take the form of popu- lar street demonstration here tonight.

Joan of Arc stirs Paris.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-The event which has most excited Paris and France this week took place at Rouen in 1431. This was the death of Joan of Arc. A professor of the Condorcet lyceum
 named Thalamas gave utterance to ideas about the role of this heroine and
 the error of her judges which displeas- cd his pupils, who almost all live out side the college and belong to reaction ary families, so that the students on leaving the school gathered on the side walk and hooted the professor, while the deputy from that district has brought the affair before the chamber.
