first shot the Thibetans, with wild
shouts, drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks, and surged forward About
dozen swordsmen made a desperate
rush in the direction of Col. Macdonald
and small knot of officers. Four Thi-
betans attacked Mr.. Gambler, the CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail, but
Col. Macdonald seized rifle and shot
down two of them at few yards and
another officer killed the other two, thus
saving Mr.. Gamblers life. Those of the
Thibetans who tried to climb the wall
were met with terrible magazine rifle
fire, but they did not falter, those be-
hind springing over the heaps of dead
and continuing the fight until riddled
with bullets. When finally the Thibet
ans retired they tramped back slowly
and steadily, though followed by hail
of bullets. A mountain battery was
brought into action and tore the re-
treating lines with shrapnel. A terrible
trail of dead and dying marked the line
of march. At length the last wounded,
limping Thibetan turned the corner,
some 400 yards from the scene of the
grim tragedy where the best of the Thi-
betan army had persisted.

1T COMPARES UNFAVORABLY
VOLUME OF TRADE Is NOT so
LARGE AS LAST YEAR.
Dun and Bradstreet Review the Bust
ness Situation as 1t APP
pears to Them.

l|ew York, April 4. - R. G. Dun d
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Much deferred eastern business was
transacted during the last few days,
and some sections report satisfactory
results, but at many points the weather
is not yet normal, and, on the whole,
the seasons trade thus far compares
unfavorably with last years volume.
Manufacturing returns continue con-
fiicting, iron and steel plants gaining
ground, footwear exhibiting the natural
reaction from an unprecedented pro-
duction in 1903, while textile mills
have much idle machinery and little
forward business to encourage opera
ton. Lumber and building materials
are in better demand, although floods
at the west and labor troubles at the
east retarded structural work to some
extent. At Baltimore the general sit
uation is satisfactory, despite the fact
that rebuilding of the devastated dis
trict is hampered by efforts to secure
legislative enactments regarding the
arrangements of streets. Transporta-
ton is still interrupted by scarcity of
cars, although in the coke region there
is less congestion, and railway earn
ings thus far reported for March are
but IL per cent. smaller than last year.
Agricultural prospects are unchanged,
better weather conditions at some
points being Offset by less favorable
news from other regions and the price

Washington, April A conspicuous
feature in the senate chamber Satur-
day was a large easel bearing upon it
a series of pictures, showing the effect
OF irrigation and the Wyoming tract
OF irrigated land, which has been the
subject of controversy in connection
with the debate upon Senator Gibson's

The easel was placed in the chamber
at the request of Senator Warren, who
had given notice of his intention to
address the senate on the bill

Tuna, Thibet, April 4.-The Thibetan
general, the whole of mis- personal es-
cort and five high Lhassa officials were
among the hundreds killed in the fight
ing of March 81 at Guiru, Thibet.
The small British losses are accounted
for by the fact that the Thibetans were
SO huddled together that the majority
were unable either to use their swords or
to fire. The swordsmen in the front
rank could not reach the Sikhs, who had
fixed bayonets, while the men in the
middle of the mob could not reach the
enemy, but many of them probably
killed each other in the mad excitement.
The scene recalled old-time fights in the
cockpits, the grim, determined faces of
the Thibetans, lighted with devilish saw
agery, expressing contempt for the
Sikhs, whom they outnumbered six or
seven to one.

Bradstreet's says: LOW tempera-
lures and heavy rains, bad roads and
floods, the latter in the Ohio and trib-
utary valleys, have checked spring
trade, delayed collections, discouraged
Easter demand, and closed a three
months period of rather backward
business in the north, east and west.
There are some redeeming features,
however. Agricultural implement men
have done probably the best seasons
trade on record, the railways are grad
ually winning out of their transporta-
ton difficulties, the western clothing
and shoe trades have done very well.
southern wholesale trade was never
larger than so far this year, and the
feeling in the iron and steel trades is
a more cheerful one than seemed posi-
BILE short time ago. While nearly all
signs point to smaller turnover in the
country's trade than in 1903, feeling
is still general that the crop outlook

yields, and warm, dry weather is eager

the real trade situation"

Big Landslide in New York.

Rochester, N. Y, April 4.-Inhabit-
ants in the vicinity of DEVILS Hole, near
Dansville, Livingston county, have been
terrified over a big landslide occasioned
by some subterranean phenomena as yet
unexplained. The slide was accom-

earth. No material damage is reported.
In 1896 large stream of water burst
from the east hill, hurting rocks weigh
ing hundreds of pounds high in the air,
and causing rent in the mountains,
known as Devils Hole Since then there
has been tradition that the place con-
ceals the mouth of an extinct volcano.
