MIDsHIPMAN'S PERIL.
Narrow Escape from Death on Coun- -L. tf.r Rnad

Narrow Escape from Death on a Coun-
 try Road.
 Sherman, Feb. 29.-Their horse killed and their sleigh wrecked, Lawrence Treadwell, of Annapolis, midshipman in the United States navy, who is spending a part of his leave of absence in this place, and his sister barely es- capped death in runaway accident yes terday. X
 The horse they were driving on the road from New Fairfield to this place took fright at the top of long hill leading into Sherman Center. With the bit in it's mouth the animal dashed down the ice-covered road, the young naval officer clinging desperately to the reins. At turn in the road the sleigh collapsed and Mir. Treadwell and his sister were thrown out, the cush- ions about them saving them from serious harm. At another turn a few rods ahead the horse plunged biindly into large rock and was instantly killed.

A FURIOUS BOMBARDMENl.

 ''The enemy, however, proceeds the general order, lis mistaken. Our troops know and the inhabitants are herewith informed by me that we will not yield. We must fight to the finish, as I, the commandant, will never give an order to surrender. bring this to the notice of those less daring and call on all to become convinced of the neces- sity of fighting to the death. Those who leave without fighting will not save themselves. There is no way out. On three sides there is the sea, and on the fourth will be the enemy. There is no means of escape except by fighting"

 St. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-It has been impossible to obtain direct confirmation of the report from Hakodate that Vla- divostok is blockaded by Japanese ves- sels, but it is not considered improb- able. During the Japanese landing op- erations in Corea the Russian warships to the north were a constant menace, and blockading them would be the most effective means of securing non-inter-l ference. Furthermore, it is worthy of note that for more than one week no word has been allowed to come from Vladivostok, and this in itself seems strong presumptive evidence that i'm portant events are transpiring.
 The report from Liau-Yang, Manchu- ria, that the Japanese fleet has received orders to attack and capture Port Ar thur on March 1, at all costs, coupled with the comparison of Port Arthur. and Sevastopol made by the Novoe Vremya, has created profound inn pression and has added to the belief that the Japanese possibly intend to commence land and sea operations against Port Arthur sooner than was anticipated.

PROTEST AT THE HAGUE


 Says Arbitration Court Cannot be Used
 to Attack Action. Motives or Good
 Name of Signatory Power.
 The Hague, Feb. 29.-The protest of the Japanese minister against the re- marks made by M. Muravieff, president of the arbitration tribunal and Russian minister of justice, in the speech which ha made on February 22, after announc- ing the tribunals decision in favor of the hlockading powers, as against Ven ezuela, says:
 The government of Japan, convinced that the permanent arbitration court can not properly be used as means of attacking the action, motives or good name of a power signatory to The Hague convention of 1899, protests for mally and seriously, both in defence of its honor and dignity, and to prevent surther misuse of this high court against the insulting remarks of M. Mu- ravieff concerning the Japanese govern ment. Japan further requests the inser- tion of this protest on the minutes of the court, and that it be given publicity equal to that given to the remarks which called it out.'

PROF. BREWER ON PANAMA
LECTURELAST EVENING BEFORE
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
History aud Description of Panama An Interesting Address-varions
 Canal Routes-U. S. should Take Pro-

amht ksuutee- Os Ss SAtOukU aNO u~ tectorate.
 Professor William H. Brewer, of Yale, addressed the Chamber of Com- merce last evening on Panama. He said that for almost all his life he had been interested in his subject, and had been Investigating it. He had visited the country and had made careful re- search into government and other rec ords. Sixteen years ago last week Pro- lessor Brewer lectured on Panama.
 President Lee introduced the profess sor. The substance of the lecture was as follows:
 No other portion of the world which is of equal size has as great geographi- cal interest as Panama. In it's tumul- tuous history every point in interna- tional law has been illustrated. Pan- anna is about $50 miles long and from thirty miles to seventy-five miles wide. It is inhabited by a heterogeneous pop ulation of Indians, whites, negroes and Chinese, mingled by intermarriage Colombia is separated from it by noun tains absolutely impossible by troops. The whole isthmus is very rugged, so that Bogota, the beautiful capital, is scarcely accessible to parts of the isth- mus.
 Owing to poor trade routes the coun- try is, in many portions, undeveloped. There have been in the worlds history three canals of tremendous importance to commerce. Suez and Corinth were talked Of for centuries. The Central American canal is the third. There have been about 8 dozen practicable routes for canals proposed. The Near agua route leads by a river to lake in which is a dangerous though impress sively beautiful volcano on an island. From the island to the Pacific is dis tance of seventeen miles of consider able rise in ground. This route would be the best, but so much work has al- ready been done by the French on the Panama canal that it is the necessary route to follow The great amount of excavation which would be necessary will be lessened by dam and locks on the river which forms a part of the route The soft tropical soil will make the securing of this dam the most diffi- cult feature of the canal building.
 The interesting history of Panama began with the explorations of Colum- bus, of Balboa and other famous dis coverers.
 The region of Panama was finally given the name of New Granada It is one of the most beautiful and healthful regions of the whole tropics. The Unit ed States early made treaties with Pan- anna. A railroad was finally opened. Since 1921, when most of the Central American states declared themselves independent, their history has been a mass of revolutions, wars, differing agreements with the railroad, new con stitutions, false imprisonments and the like.
 Every precedent has been illustrated except the honest payment of debts. This condition will never stop until some stronger nation has control, and we do not want to have that nation one in Europe.

ATTITUDE OF vICKsBURG.
First to Render Aid to Russian
 Wounded


 Wounded.
 Washington, Feb 29.-A searching in- ouiry will be made by the Russian au- thorities in the effort to place the re- sponsibility for the false report that Commander Marshall, commanding the American gunboat vicksburg at Che mulDo, had refused to rescue the Rus sian sailors from the Variag.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The state ment of the commander of the United States gunboat vicksburg regarding the ChemulDo affair was communicated to the foreign office by The Associated Press correspondent and was received as complete and satisfactory explana- tion. Regrets was expressed that the incident had created so much feeling here.
 We had no official advices on the subject, said an official, "but as the in- cident was attracting much attention here 1t is a source of qualification to learn that the statements made were not only untrue, but that the vicksburg was the first to render aid.
 We desire to preserve the most amic- able relations with the American repub- lie and when the truth is generally known it will doubtless go far to allay the irritation caused by the original re- port"

An Indian Murder.

Some two weeks ago an old Piute
Indian known as Tom Crow was muir
dered on the reservation by his grand
son, young Piute known as Dave
Brown. The old man was considered a
witch by all Of the Piutes in this neigh
borhood, and was much feared, but for
a long time no Indian could be found
with courage enough to put him out IF
the way. Yong Brown finally screwed
up his courage and shot the old man
and then tumbled his body into the
river short distance above Walker
lake. The body was discovered and DR..
Leavitt had it brought to the reserva-
ton, and after making an examination
had it re-interred. From remarks made
by young Brown to other Piutes, the
crime was traced to him, and we un-
derstand that there is conclusive evil
dence Of his guilt He is now under ar
rest at the reservation and the super
intendeut is in correspondence with
the government authorities in regard
to what shall be done with the muir.

Trout Planted in Lake Tohoe.

The Fish Commissioners have plant
ed $4,000 steel heads in Lake Tahoe,
having taken the eggs from Eel river,
in Humboldt county, and Matched at

under the supervision of Colonel A. v.

100000 Lake Tahoe trout eggs.
This will prove to be agreeable news
to the anglers who do their fishing
at Lake Tahoe, as the steelhead Is
known to be one of the gamest of fish
Trolling for them affords anglers keen
sport and the excitement they fur

by trolling for Chinook salmon.

TONOPAH RAILROAD.
Rails Within Fifteen Miles of the
Great Camp.

The progress of work on the Tono-
pah railroad during the past week
has been retarded by the inability of
the c. & c. to deliver material as rap
idly as required Track1faNing was
carried forward at the rate of about
three-quarters Of mile a day, and the
end OF the track at the close of the
work tonight will be between fifteen
and sixteen miles from Tonopah.
At the present rate of progress,
which, judging from past experience
is not likely to be accelerated, the
track will be completed to Tonopah
about July Sth, or possibly two or
three days earlier.
The grading for the depot site has
been completed and the force of grad
ers is now concentrated on the spurs
to the various mines. Work on the

No Graves In Goldfield,

The Goldfeld News of last week
contained the following enthusiastic
tribute to the salubrity Of the climate
Of the greatest gold J camp ever
known" THE stranger coming into
Goldfleld on May 3Oth possibly thought
we were q little slow when he saw nc
procession headed toward the GENE
terry, with little children carrying dow.
ers with which to decorate the graves
He soon learned. however, that
though Goldfield has lived long
enough, and produced gold enough,
to astonish the world, she has not yet
attained the dignity of a graveyard.
No graves were decorated in Goldfield
because there were none to decorate.
Goldfield has made many records in
her mines and prospects and we be
lieve in this particular she has an
other. 1t is. doubtful If there another
community of two thousand people
where there are no graves" Without
intending to impugn the frankness Of
the editor of the News or to reflect
on the pretensions of Goldfield as ar
ideal health resort, we would respect
fully suggest that that populous CAM
would have had several graves to dec
crate on Memorial Day if it were no
for the prevailing custom Of sendin:
Its sick to Tonopah for proper medica
treatment and exporting for intermen
abroad its residents who meet vic
lent death.

That the Carnival is on the road AMI
will be here in a few days is eviden-
ced along the street Yesterday the
Electric Light people had big force
OF men out and they were setting
poles, stringing wire and otherwise
making ready to put Carson on the
electric map.
1t is the intention to make the cleo

on the coast, at any rate the finest
ever undertaken in this State. The
committee is working with the COM
pany in this measure and before this
time next week there will be q splen

is concerned.
Visitors who come from Reno nn
agree that the riverside neighbor will
be here and in numbers The business
men of the town are taking an active
part in the entire proceedings and If
all goes well, several of the frater,,i-
ties will be here and make day Of
1t. OF course big relay race is worth
the price of admission, if nothing else
was attempted. This race in itself will
be one OF the best ever witnessed on
the coast, and as it is a CHAMPIONSHIP ,
affair, an unusual amount of interest
will be shown from the entire coast.
Yesterday w. L. Sumers, of Reno,

here to see what can be done in the
way of decorating floats and in fact,
originating them. His business is that

his work comes with good recommen-
