sliding down hill ever since the mines
gave out, 80 years ago, but there had
always been enough business to sup
port one saloon until a few days ago.
Ihen trade fell off to such an extent
that the proprietor decided he must
shut up shop. On the night that his
incense ran out he invited the whole
town i'm to help him dispose of the re-
mainder of his stock, as it would cost
more to transport it out of town than
1t was worth. There were Is men in
town and they all responded to the call
and drank as long as they could When
a man would begin to get drunk the

fortunate fellows to their hunks. Then

shelves. Kicked over the bar and went

The exact relation of this statuary
Issue to the Presidential booms of
Messrs. Fairbanks. Shaw, and Bever-

seems that up TO date Secretary Shaw
has been aligned in a general way
with the Beveridge interest, and that
the Vice President has been getting
the short end OF it. This is the sec
ond advantage scored by the Secre-
tary in the preliminary jockeying on
the Indiana track. The other was
when an influential member of the
Indiana delegation In Congress fatty
declared for Shaw for President.

retary of the Treasury would appear

especial assault on the preserves of

That Indianapolis Quarrel.

The problem OF what to do with
cur ex-Presideuts seems to have been
succeeded by the no less difficult one
OF what to do with their monuments.
The Hon. Grover Cleveland has been
fully as much of a political issue in
his capacity as an ex-President as
he was during the period when he
was President. Now we have the
painful spectacle of a controversy
over the disposal of the statue of for
mer President Harrison, in Indian
apolis, with two or three Presidential
possibilities involved in 1t.

fitting memorial in the form of an
heroic statue of Benjamin Harrison.

Fairbanks and Beyeridge. To com

The Debt of Nature.

NO catastrophe that can befall man
kind is ever regarded with SO much
awe and horror as the great cata-
ciysms of nature that by their terrific
displays of power bring man to sharp
realization of his insignificance in the
presence of the real forces of the mi
verse. The utmost that the ingenuity
and resources of man could devise by
way OF destructiveness and horror
cannot compare with the spectacle of
Lisbon, Pelee. or Pompeii.
The forces of nature never tire of
infiicting their horrors in the world
and man is helpless TO protect himself
against them. 1t may be a tidal wave
at Galveston, wiping out a city. or
the flood of great river in China
tornado at st. Louis, an earthouake
In India, the eruption and explosion
OF volcano in the West Indies. or
an earthquake in Italy; whatever If
Is, 1t comes with fearful power and
with no note of warning.
The earthquake which has done
such terrific damage to both prom
erty and life In southern Italy again
enforces these considerations of the
inexorable will with which nature en-
forces her claims. 1t recalls. too
how very little has been discovered
about volcanic and seismic disturb
ances. It is known that there has
been in the last few years a striking
increase in these activities through
out all the earthquake and volcanic
regions of the world. From Hawaii
to Italy, from the West Indies to the
East Indies, in southern as well as
northern hemisphere, the ancient his
toric volcanoes have been remarkably
active, while others which have been
supposed to be extinct have broken
into eruption.
Since the horror Of Pelee and Mar
Unique more study has been given to
volcanic phenomena than ever before.
There is an increasing belief that vol
canoes are not chimneys or vents con-
Meeting directly with the molten in
terror OF the planet: but rather, that
each volcano or volcanic group is the
safety-valve for comparatively small
deposit of molten material that has
worked its way out into the crust of
the globe-a mere bubble But this
theory, while accounting for a num-
Der OF phenomena OF volcanoes and
does not explain WHY
the tendency of volcanic activity is
felt periodically all over the world.
When the volcanoes of Italy are re-
ported performing, it is almost in
the case that a few DAYS
ater will bring like reports from
Asia, South America, Mexico, the
West Indies, and the other volcanic
regions. II is said that some very
conclusions about these dis
urbances will presently be made pub
ic as a result of the studies of the
2elee eruptions which recently hor-
-ified the entire world.

A Secret Clause?

AOA- SLO Noy "ACh l-1S SSisSsuCoC
ENJOYS at Portsmouth made their un-
accountable surrender of diplomatic
demands in order to assure peace,
there have been rumors that back of
the published terms of peace was a
secret agreement of some sort This
secret agreement, whose existence has
been confidently asserted, is now
analyzed, on alleged high authority,
in a remarkable cable dispatch from
London.
1t is declared that Emperor Will
liam, as intermediary, induced the
Car to agree to such a settlement. at
the time of the mysterious meeting
OF the two rulers in the Baltic sea.
The Kaiser was as anxious for peace
as was President Roosevelt. and his
anxiety was of more pressing, per-
sonal, and selfish sort, for the inter-
ests of his country were far more
deeply involved than were those of
the United States.
The story goes that the Gar in
a secret agreement between himself
aId the Mikado, pledges himself to
Hay $500,000,00O indemnity, in five
payments of s100,O 900 annually.
This is not to be paid by the Russian
empire. and. therefore, is not strictly.
In an international sense, an indem-
hity- The Gar personally obligates
himsen to make the payment, to
which his personal estates and reye-
nues are amply adequate, for he is
Dy lar the wealthiest ruler in the
world OF these five annual pay
ments, 1t is said. one is to be in lioui-
dation of Japan's claim for the care
of the Russian prisoners now In
Japan.
Before DR.. Martens sailed from
New York for Europe he admitted
that a secret treaty existed. II is
urged that without orders from the
Gar he would not have dared make
such an admission. The explanation
is that it was necessary to admit this
much IN order TO let the japanese
people know that their country had
been better cared for than they had
supposed. The situation in Japan. if
not actually menacing, is certainly
embarrassing and painful; and il
could hardly be expected that the
Mikado's government would permit
riots and disaffection and the DOS
sibilty of anti-foreign demonstrations
because of mere misunderstanding
OF the real peace terms.
If il is true that there was such a
secret agreement, then, the probabil-
ity Is that its existence was admitted
by Dr. Martens as the result of
request from the Mikado. directed TO
the Car, in order to allay Japanese
disaffection. The more detailed story
which comes from London. I'm this
view, may be assumed to have been
given out for Japanese consumption.
1t is even said that when Komura
threw down his hand at Portsmouth
and, under orders from Tokyo. az
cepted the Russian terms, neither he
nor Witte knew of the existence of
the secret indemnity agreement. This
seems impossible, yet no more i'm
possible than the japanese surrender
at Portsmouth seemed at the time il
was made. Witte was astounded.
Komura was greatly depressed. the |
world was completely taken by sur
prise, and Japan felt outraged. II
was a most remarkable diplomatic
move and the secret treaty is the
only logical explanation yet offered
