fxed to the walls and posts of the house.
After an inspection the place was set on
fire. Some days later a chief, a JUN.
priest and a principal man OF the town OF
Owere, who were found to be connected
with a bush Ju-Ju," were arrested. This
second shrine was reached after a canoe
journey up a tortuous creek. Finally, the
British party arrived at small hut, com
pletely closed in with vegetation the in
terror being so dark that il was necessary
to tear down the walls before II was possi-
BILE to see what the place contained.

MASKED MEN ROB TRAIN
bandits Hold Up Spokane Flyer Near
Portland, but Lose Nerve Before
Job is Finished.

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. 21.-Pd ssengers on
the oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany's train No. A. known as the Spokane
Flyer, were robbed just after the train
left the east Portland station, shortly after
O'Clock, by four masked men who boarded
the rear platform of the last car, known
as the Walla Walla sleeper, at the east
side station. The track enters Sullivan
gulch, a dark ravine a few hundred feet
south of the station.
AS the train turned into the gulch the
four men entered the smoking compart-
ment and commanded the occupants to
throw up their hands. The thieves pro-
ceeded to go through their victims, from
whom they secured about 800 and one
gold watch.
When these few had been robbed the ban
dts nerve sepmed to have failed them, for
they stopped the train and jumpd off, dis
appearing in the heavy underbrush along
the sides of the gulch, officers are in pur-

SUBMARINE IS A SUCCESS
French Boat Remains Under WATER
Fourteen Hours and Moves
with Ease.

PARIS, Jan 21.-(Special Cablegram 70
The Bee)-A record has just been estab-
lisheds by the French submarine boat Kor-
rigan, stationed at Bizerta. 1t succeeded
in remaining in the water several fathoms
deep for a continuous period of fourteen
hours.
The Korrigan, which was built in 1902, and
has displacement of 1S5 tons went out to
sea at 5 o'clock in the morning and an
hour later plunged for the purpose of test
ing its capacity for remaining submerged
The day passed, and no trace was seen
of the vessel. AS the evening approached
considerable anxiety was felt as to the
fate of the submarine, but at ten minutes
past o'clock its electric protector rose
out OF the sea, to the intense relief of the
watchers. The boat then quickly ran in to
port, having been submerged just over
fourteen hours.
Lieutenant Thomaz who commands the
Korrigan, stated that while at an average
depth of three fathoms, the submarine ran
at speed of seven knots an hour and
navigated about sixty nautical miles
By means of the periscope he was able
to pass in and out of the harbor, avoiding
the dummy mines which had been set
for 1t.

LORD MILNER MAY RETIRE
johannesburg Paper Thinks He Can
Leave Now with Greater
Ease Than Later.

JOHANNESBURG. Jan. a.-(special Ca
blegram to The BeeO-The Star deals au-
thoritatively with the recently published
articles on Lord Miners retirement The
paper refutes generally the suggestions
made but apparently indicating Lord Mil
ner's immediate retirement, says;
1t is better, on the ground of the public
interest, that he should rellnquish his post
at a time when there is nothing in the
circumstances In South Africa to cause
exceptional anxiety than that he should
be compelled to resign at moment when
his withdrawal might give a shock to the
economic or political stability OF the south
ern part of the continent.
Dealing with the possibility of the liberal
party succeeding the conservatives in Great
Britain, the Star states that IL is easier for
a liberal ministry 10 make its inevitable
volte face on the Chinese labor question
on the strength Of a new high commits
sioner's advice than on Lord Miners.

Campbell -bannerrnan Will
Form the New Cabinet.
Rosebery Out, With John Morley
Sir Henry's Chief Adviser.

Sanderson, the retiring under-secretary
of state for foreign affairs, and a num-
Der of minor honors.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry
Campbell-B Zimmerman has explained
his attitude on Home rule for Ireland
to those Liberal leaders who are
known to be opposed to Home rule on
the lines of the last bills introduced in
Parliament.
There is some uncertainty as to when
the dissolution of Parliament will be
effective, but it is not considered
probable until after the new year.
An interesting feature of the political
situation is the prospect of a closer al
lance between the Irish and the Labor
parties in the new Parliament. James
Eeirhar,lie, the Socialist and indie
pendent member. in a political speech,
tonight, frankly invited such an al
lance. He pointed out that 40 Labor
members combined with IS Irish MEM
bers would provide Il voting strength
which no government, however strong,
could afford to ignore.

VACATIONS TO BE HEIGHTENED
That City May Meet School Bills
Monthly Meeting Of School Board.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
school board was held, last evening
in, the office of Superintendent OF
Schools Dennis E. Bowman, Esq, and
was not without it's interesting fea-
lures. After routine business had
been discussed to a finish, the mayor
Horace Purinton entered the room to
suggest certain changes which caused
a general upheaval of the equilibrium
of the officers present. His honor
made the announcement of his pur-
ing that the present financial condi-
ton of the city would not permit him
to draw warrants for the payment OF
any except necessary bills.
All proposed expenditures, there
fore, will not, for the remainder of the
school year, be made to cover bills for
purchases and, inasmuch as the pres
the salaries of the teachers and the
men employed to convey the pupils of
the rural districts will, of themselves
necessitate the overdraWing of the ac-
counts, Mr.. PurintOn recommended
that the vacations of the schools be
heightened in order that some of the
bills be carried over for payment on
the following year.
The meeting, after a subsequent dis
cussion, in which all appeared to
recognize the justice of the mayors
suggestions, closed without further
business.

London, Dec. 4..-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom reached eli
max, today, when Arthur ]. Balfour
the premier formally rendered the res
ignations of himself and the members
of his cabinet to King Edward. VINO ac-
cepted them. His Majesty has invited
Sir Henry embellishments to an
interview. tomorrow morning, when he
will offer him the mission OF forming d
new cabinet. Sir Henry will accept the
task and within few days, even with
in a few hours, a new government will
be formed.
II would now appear that the entire
program has been cut and dried for
some time and it is even probable that
the Liberal leader has already COM
pleted his cabinet. though this, like ev-
erything else in connection with Brit
ish officialdOm, must be left to surmise.
1t may be stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery will be entirely ignored in
the makeup Of the new cabinet and
that JOHN Morley will be one of the
chief advisers of Sir Henry in drawing
Up the list of his official family which
will be presented to His Majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered
likely to go to the Indian office. and it
is probable that Herbert Henry AS
quith will be chancellor of the ex-
chequer. The foreign affairs portfolio
will go either to Lord Elgin or Sir Ed
ward Grey, though the latter is consid-
cred likely to be made secretary for
the colonies. Aside from these there is
a degree of uncertainty.
The meeting of the privy council
which was set for tomorrow morning
has been postponed until later date.
1t is understood that the King will
leave town. tomorrow afternoon, to be
the guest at Lord Allington's house
party at Crychel. Wimborne, but this
is still indefinite.
A partial list of the hOnors usually
conferred on the retirement of
government was issued, tonight. 1t in
