MONDAY EVENING. APRIL II, 1905.

THE ATTENTION of the civilized world
has during past years been called to the
;nbnman treatment meted out to the ma
tives of the Congo by the Belgians, and
now reports from Australia show that the
British are out-herOding Herod in the
land Of the bushman. White men have
jr wears been making a conquest OF
Australia, during which time they have
virtually exterminated the kangaroo,
the food provided by nature for the aoo-
rhymes, and the latter, in order to AVOID
starvation. are occasionally tempted to
kill cattle belonging TO the English.
The treatment the natives receive from
the hands OF the whites in retaliation
cannot be recited in detail, as women
seem TO be the special objects OF the
vengeance of their conquerors. We are
told that when the Spaniards first came
10 this continent and realized that near
" everything could be grown here, they
were perplexed by the labor problem.
Most of the early adventures were too
indolent to work in the sugar cane fields,
and they coralled Indians and, after plac-
ing hoes in their hands, stood over males
and females with blacksnake whips aud
compelled them to labor. The white
man wherever he goes seems to act the
part of an oppressor, and the present un'
fortunate relations between the Mongo-
lans and the Circassian race has doubt
less been superinduoed by the latter.
The cry OF yellow peril is now raised
when the worm turns.

Arcanum 10 be stricter.

A dispatch from Buffalo, n. y, says
"An executive committee of the
ROYAL Arcanum is in session here. One
of the members, is speaking Of the order,
said the reports for tine year ending May
| next would show that the receipts Of
the association exceed the amount OF
the deaths claims BY only $50, 600.
ave shall lay this fact before the Su-
preme Council, probably without any
recommendation whatever" he said. The
speaker stated that the executive com
mittee would recommend not only that
the medical examination be made stricter,
but the applicants mode of living and
habits examined into. 1t will also bring
up the question Of monthly payment OF
dues instead Of quarterly, and that of
entering a mans age as reckoned from
his nearest birthday instead of his last
birthday, as at present.
Mr. Wilbur F. Smith, grand secretary
of the Grand Lodge of Maryland, said
that he did not have the figures at hand
to refute the assertion made in the fore
going dispatch, but that he felt quite
sure that there was no ground for any
alarm over the financial condition of the
order. The member of the executive
committee at Buffalo, he said. may have
been referring to the State of New York
alone. Even in that respect, he said, he
hardly regarded the statement as ALL

Japanese Destroy Golfers.

London, April IA dispatch to
the Reuter- Telegram Company from
Saigon, Cochin China, says that the
japanese have captured large number
Of coliers along the coast.
A message to Lloyds from Singapore,
says the German steamer DeyawOngse
reports passing the Russian fleet on the
morning of April ii, in about latitude
lS degrees, north. The vessels were
lying to at that time.
Admiral Togo has begun to harness
the Russian fleet. The news came to-
day from Saigon, Cochin China, in a
brief dispatch which stated that Japa.
nese skirmishing ships have captured a
large number of Rojestvensky's colliers,
which were awaiting the Russian feet
off the Cochin China coast. The fuel
problem is the most difficult that a
naval commander has to face when
operating thousands of miles away from
his baYe. To solve it, the Russians had
dispatched mauy colliers, weeks before
Roiestvensky sailed, to lie in the path OF
the Russian fleet soNthey could join it
when needed. These fuel vessels the
japanese are now picking up and it is a
severe blow to the Russian admiral.
He has, of course, a number of golfers
with his feet, from which his ships load
at sea, but eventually this supply will
become exhausted. 1t is also possible
that Togo will attempt to cut out or
sink the GOLFERS with the Russian fleet.
Such blow would render the Russian
ships welI-nigh helpless. This situation
is one of great advantage on the side OF
the japanese, as being near their base,
the fuel question can easily be solved
for them. This is one of the reasons
that make naval men believe Togo will
win.
Hong Kong, April 1.-THE steamer
Brynhiide which arrive here this morn
ing from Bangkok reports that three
Russian cruisers stopped her on Friday
sixty miles north of Cape Hadaran, aud
after searching the vessel, allowed her
to proceed. The captain of the Bryn-
hide counted thirty-three Russian war
ships in the feet to which the three
cruisers were attached. The warships
appeared to be in good condition, and
were steaming northeast, at the rate OF
ten knots an hour. Cape Hadaran is on
the coast of Cochin China, about $50
miles northeast of Saigon. The course
which the Brynhilde says the fleet was
following, would indicate that the vessels
were headed for Formosa strait. If the
fleet was as far north as Cape Hadaran
on Friday, and continued its course at
the same speed, the vessels should be
close to the straits by this time. The
fact that the Brynhilde saw only thirty
three vessels would seem to bear out
other reports that Admiral ROjestvensky
had separated his fleet.

others one train should be run yesterday.
The strike will prove great embarrass-
ment TO foreign tourists. Of whom there

The Strike In Italy.

Rome, April 1.-THE threatened
strike of railway employees went into
effect last night, at midnight, and so
many of the railway men have responded
to the call to quit work that the whole
country is affected. The strikers have
been disappointed in that large number
of the men have still refused to join the
strike and, by using then, the roads have
been able to maintain some sort of a
service, although it is greatly reduced.
SignOr Forts, the premier, has declared
that the service will be kept up b. using
soldiers to guard the trains aud stations,
while men from the navy will be utilized
to act as engineers and iremen. The
government has offered the railway
authorities sufficient soldiers who will
act as trainmen to permit the operation
of one train daily over the principal
lines. The train will not be allowed to
travel faster than One-third Of the full
speed. 1t is estimated that 20, 900 Ameri-
eau and British tourists in Italy are
stalled by the strike. The terminus of
the Naples line here has been occupied
b. troops and precautions for the main
tenance Of order have been adopted.
Four Naples trains have been taken off

Mysterious Murder.

There is great excitement at Little
Falls, Mimi, over the discovery yester-
day of the dead body of Annie Kintop
in the woods about four miles from that
city. The body was entirely stripped of
clothing, a handkerchief was tightly
twisted about her neck and the head was
a mass of bruises. Two negroes were
seen in the vicinity of where the body
was found, and search is being made fer
them. The girl, who was about to leave
for the northern part of the State to take
up homestead claim, had been in Little
Falls purchasing supplies. She left the
city Monday evening for Darling, from
which station she was to walk to her
home, distant about two miles. After
leaving Darling she was not seen again
until her body was found yesterday.
The place where the girls body was
found bore evidence of a terrific struggle.
Charles Felson, living near the scene Of
the murder, SAYS he heard screams about
dusk on Monday night, and saw two I'M
known negroes near the spot. A posse
has been organized, and the country is
being secured in search of the negroes.

cent strikes twenty-seven wOrkmeu at

guard under which they have worked
ever since, have picked of seven of the
twenty. seven at intervals. Some of the
victims were stabbed and others were

versy over the color line. The coDtro..
versy was the result of the recent fair

auspices of the ladies' auxiliary society
attached to the post. The fair was
opened by Gen. +. d. Grant. The follow
ing night was known as &c. A. r."
night at the fair and the Grand
Army posts were invited to at
Tend. After the invitations had BEEN
sent out one o. the women was told that
one Of the guests, Pierre Zeno command
er of William Lloyd Garrison Post, was
negro. She communicated the fact to-
the other women, and said that if 81
negro was to be invited she would ceseS
TO have anything further to do vita the
fair. A committee of the women called
upon Commander Buff, of Grant Post,
and urged him 20 take some action by
which Zeno should be prevented from
attending.
The result was the Secretary Jacks
C. into COMMUNICATION , ss;h zeSo,
planning that bis presence at the
would be Objectionable, owing to
color, and suggesting that he decline
invitation.
Commander Zeno's feelings were hurt,
and he lost no time in communicating
the facts TO other G. A. r. men, and the
story travelled from post 10 post, and
went out TO him. Zeno's
friends believe that an apology is due
him from Grant Post.
