DEMANDS AN APOLOGY.
Temps Says Sight to Minister Must
Be Atoned For.

Paris, Sept. 2G.-The semi-official
Temps yesterday evening printed a
leading article reflecting official senti-
ment on the Venezuelan affair. Il is
said that NJ. Taigny, French Minister,
has been ordered to insist on Venc-
zuea's withdrawing her offensive re.
fusal TO deal with him. If the with.
drawal is made and President Castro
makes an apology then negotiations
will continue If Venezuela does not
recede, it will be unwise to immedi-
ately break off the peace relations by
the withdra wal Of NJ. Taigny since this
would leave French interests unpro.
tected The best course will be for
France and the United States to make
d joint naval demonstration.

Rain in the Face, the Sioux indian
chief who is reputed to have killed
Gen. Custer DIT the battle Of the Little
Big Horn in June, 1875, died Sept IS
at the Bullhead station, Standing Rock
reservation, n. d., in his sixty-third
year.
His reputed deeds during the Custer
massacre had made Rain in the Face
an important historical character. He
was declared to have joined Sitting
Bulls hostile band two years be-ore
the fight for the purpose of killing
Gen. Custer and carrying away the
heart Of Col. Tom Custer, brother of
the general.
This hatred Of the Custer brothers
harked back to the murder Of an ar
my surgeon and a trader when they
stopped to water their horses on the
Red river in 1873 A scout in the fall
of 1874 brought word that Rain in the
Face did the murder to Gen Custer
at Fort Lincoln, and Col. Tom Custer
went to the Standing Rock reservation
and took the chief prisoner.
The chief was confined to the guard
house after having boastfully con-
fessed the crime. Winter came, and
Rain in the Face lay upon the floor,
without as much as blanket to cover
him, and at times the snow would
drift in inches deep. 1t was IN this
miserable prison that he first con-
ceiVed the intense hatred he bore both
the general and his brother.
In the spring of 1875 he escaped and
at once joined Sitting Bull. Whether
he personally secured vengeance on
the Clusters in the massacre of June
26, 1876, is a disputed question. He

It's area is about 10000 square
miles, constituting the isthmus separ.
ating the Caspian from the Black sea

Russian Armenia is included in the
southern part.
The Caucasus range divides the
country into northern Caucasia and
Trans Caucasia.
In the variety of its peoples and the
ever changing topography it is one
of the most interesting Of all coun.
tries.
The vegetation is extraordinarily d.
versitied, from the forests of northern
pine to the luxuriant growthS of figs,
pomegranates, etc, in the basin of the
Rion.
It's oil wells are second only to those
of the United States. producing annu-
ally nearly 100000 tons of petro.
leum.
The mineral products are the rich.

over 100000 tons of manganese ore,
5000 tons of copper, besides sulphur
cobalt, salt and iron.
The northern portion produces one
fifth as much wheat as European Rus

In Trans-Caucasia cultivation of the
vine claims chief attention; much to-

China's, Bows and Arrows.

Though an attempt was made two
years ago to abolish bows and arrows
as the national weapons of China the
work has only been accomplished
within the last few weeks. The i'm.
perial archers have existed up to the
time the royal edict put them out Of
business about a month ago. The en-
peror's decree is as follows: Our dy-
nasty was established by means of the
bow and arrow and the art is still
therefore kept up in the examination
OF officials and the drilling of troops.
Lately, however, military science has
improved and weapons are being mod.
ernized every day and we must imi.
tate the martial spirit of our. ances-
tors by using our best endeavors to es,
tabllSh a strong government Here
after the princes, dukes and ministers
OF the eight banners must all earnest
ly practice military art and attain the
utmost proficiency, which will leave
no time for the observance of mere
forms, and We order all officials in fu-
ture not to carry the bow and arrow
when they attend state ceremonies,
nor are imperial bodyguards or the
palace guards to use them, but the
best weapons must be provided for
them. Let the board of war draw up
the necessary regulations for the prop.

soldiers and let the said board report

In manufacturing, the Caucasus does

Nowhere else on earth is there such
a confusion of peoples, languages and

the Causasus. The number of dialects

The Russians entered the region in
ITO. Kuban and Terek became theirs
in IVA, Derbent, Baku and Kubu in
1896.
By cessfons from Persia and Tur-

nominal control over nearly the entire
country.
Shamyi, chief of the fierce mountain
tribes, resisted Russia with magnifi.
cent bravery, but was forced to sur.

was assured.
The uprising against Russian con-
trel during the Russo-Turkish war,
1878, proved wholly futile despite
the active assistance of the Turks.

Agsressiveness Usually Concealed.

Joseph Ramsey, Jr., who is in the
public eye through his fight to wrest
the control of the Wabash railroad
from the .Goulds, is not exactly the
manner of man taken to be a fighter
He has mild and kindly ways, wears
glasses and impresses one as being
much less aggressive than he is. He
is a fighter. On provocation it is in
him to declare his convictions and
opinions, personal and impersonal, in
most emphatic manner.
