large pear came out of the woods, and with
out fayOring Us with the slightest attention
deliberately crossed the road not more than .
hundred yards ahead.
Alter bruin had disappeared, it was some
time before the frightened horses could be
induced to proceed.
Mister Bears big tracks were very distinct
IN the soft snow, and BY looking in their di-
rectlOn as we were passing, we discovered him
IN a most unexpected position.
Some nifty yards from the road a lofty pine
had been torn from the ground, roots and all
as IS frequently the case in the severe winter
storms OF this region, and falling on a thicket
OF smaller trees, remained reclining at an an
gle OF about thirty degrees from the ground.
Apparently without any very clear idea as
to what he was doing, bruin had climbed this
easy ascent until near the top, and then not
nndng anything to his taste, began to back
down. But by a remarkable achievement OF
clumslness, ne succeeded in 50 wedging him
sell between the stumps of two broken limbs
that any sort OF progress seemed impossible.
The tree was covered with ice, and every
time brun attempted to turn round OF back
over the limbs below him. he would side
from the slippery surface, and was only pre-
vented from falling BY a quick use Of his
sharp claws.
Without thought as to the import Of what
I was doing, 1 caught up one Of the large
stones j had been saving for rabbits, and sent
it toward the bear with all my force.
AltnOugn nreu without any actual ann. the
missile, coming from behind, struck on the
side Of his tender nose, and when the fierce
creature, with an angry grOwl, turned to see
where it came from, he lost his hold com
pletely, and went crashing through the ever
green's below, breaking one limb after another.
until finally his black mass disappeared under
an enormous snOw-bank.
Doubtless his bearship received little injury
But we had no chance to learn anything about
that, for the noise of his fall caused the horses
to dash away at breakneck speed, which they
could not be made to slaeken in the least until
the gloomy abode Of wild animals was lefs
lar behind.

offer. and only eeasing to fight when life is
extinct; but the common fashion of bruin in
this region is to make off with all speed the
moment human being comes in sight.
Hunters have, thus, to exercise great care in
getting near enough for an effective shot, and
even when the game is close by, unless ball
strikes just the right place-that is, just be

 The dispatch adds that General Martynoffs detachment from Tadlu also drove back the Japanese advanc- ed cavalry outposts.

An Air of Expectancy Pre-
 VaiIS in St. Petersburg
NO OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE
But It Is Assumed that Rojestvensky Is on the Last Stage of His Voyage. It Is Learned that Linevitch Is Meeting Oyama Half Way.

St. Petersburg. May 22:-There is an air of expectancy at the admiralty. which indicates that news of import ance regarding Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet, is awaited at any moment. Of ficially no information regarding the admirals whereabouts is volunteered, officers are making no concealment of the fact that they are not in the secret of Rojestvensky's plans, but majori ty entertain no doubt that the Russian fleet is now steaming towards Its ulti- mate destination. While there is no official confirmation of the Hong Kong report that the fleet has passed through Bashee channel, it is credited by those who have insisted from the beginning that Rojestvensky would give the is land of Formosa a wide berth to the westward. The admiral, it is said here has had ample time to reach the Pa cific since he left the waters of Indo- China.
 Dispatches received from the front are meagre but there are some indica- tions that General LineVitch has talk en leaf out of Field Marshal Oyama's s book at the Shal1he river and at Muk- den, and that he is about to advance himself and undertake a counter offen- sive, meeting the Japanese pressure against his left by advancing his right. It is too early, however, to determine
 whether the moves thus far are more than feints.
 The question of a general exchange of prisoners on which there have been some negotiations is still unsettled and
 the foreign office here is not sanguine
 that general agreement is possible. A partial exchange covering the crew i of the Russian volunteer fleet cruiser | Ekaterineslava captured at the open l ing of the war and the crew of the i Japanese steamer Sabu captured by i the Russians, has practically been eff fected.

The Worst Disaster in the
 History of Jerome
THE WARNING OF DAYS
Prevented Any Loss of Life But 1t Is Feared that the Great Nine Will Be Closed Down Indef- initeiy.

Prescott, Ariz-, May 22-Millions of tons of rock and earth caved in at noon today in Senator Clar<'s United Verde copper mine at Jerome, Arizona, the ground dropping over a wide sur face to the 700 foot level. Cracking timbers gave the alarm and three hun dred miners fled for their lives and es- caped uniniured.
 For several days the ground has been settling and the timbers creaking. To- night with a mighty crash the earth caved, carrying with it the new shaft, levels, drifts and stopes. From fis sures on the surface come clouds of sulphur smoke from that part of the mine which has been on fire for several years.
 The extent of the damage cannot as yet be ascertained, but if it is as bad as feared the great property will be closed and the existence of Jerome will be doomed. The hoisting works, which are a mile away, have sttled and the machinery cannot be worked. The smelting plant has also been shut down and all activity has ceased.
 The officials of the company are taking the most optimistic view of the situation and say that the damage is not irreparable and that the smelter will be working again within a month

 Dr. c. H. Pitt.
 Town Marshal Watson.

CONTRADICTORY TELEeRAMs

Fresno, Cal. May 22.-The Cumber- land Presbyterian general assembly is in the midst of a warm debate on the union question: Two reports were presented this afternoon. The major ity report signed by Doctors TempletOn and Wigginton and Judge Beard, gave a complete list of the Presbyteries which had voted and declared that union had been constitutionally agreed to by the Cumberland Presbyterian church and a basis adopted.
 Elders McClelland and Young sub mitted a minority report. This agreed with the majority with reference to the facts of the vote, except one Presby- tery, but claimed that the church has no constitutional right to unite with another church and that. therefore, the union has not been constitutiOnally agreed to. It further affirms that the Presbyterian church has not complied with the terms of the agreement with reference to separate presbyteries.
 At this point an official telegram was received announcing that the northern assembly had declared that the union proposition carried in that church and that all conditions had been compiled with. A member then read a personal telegram from Dr. w. Plumber Bryan, of Chicago, contradicting the first and declaring that the Presbyterian as sembly had indefinitely postponed the subject. Both messages were received with great applause.
 On a motion to substitute the minor ity for the majority report, pr. Temple ton of Texas opened tine discussion, He was followed by other speakers, the debate lasting until a late hour. It is expected to continue through most of the day tomorrow. The unionists see no need for discussing the matter at all, but have acceded to the de- mands of the opposition that there shall be a full debate.

Taft that while in Caracas he had heard q great deal of these allegations involving MT. Loomis' administration and had conversed with more than one person about them.
 Mir. Bowen had talked, he said, not making a request that MT. Dater pulp fish the charges but he stated that some day he hoped to be able to get the case before the public. This tes- timony was elicited by Secretary Taft in connection with MT Loomis' coun- ter charge against MT. Bowen. After MT. Dater left the secretary's office he was charged by MT. Bowen with a betrayal of confidence in connection with the publication of the charges, an imputation which he denied. Subse- quently MT. Bowen, after talking fur ther with Mir Dater, admitted that he had done the latter an injustice in making such a charge.
 Mir Bowen saw the secretary imme- diately after MT. Dater left. when he submitted his rejoinder. together with a general denial of all statements af- facting his official conduct.
 The further investigation of the Bowen-Loomis matter has been post poned pending the arrival in this city of William A. Russell, late minister to Colombia, whom MT. Bowen wants to have examined before any decision or the case is reached.
 MT. Russell was secretary of the le- gation under Mir. Loomis when the lat ter was minister at Caracas.
 It is not intended to take any ac- ton in this matter probably until con gress meets next fall, provided noth- ing happens in Venezuela to force an issue.
 MT. Bowen has been advised that he may go to his home and need not re- turn to Washington until Mir Russell reaches this country.
