No Work at Bull Frog.

Persons without means are warned by
those who have been there, to keep away
from Bull Frog. The assessment work
for the present year has been completed,
and much of it for two years to come
has been accomplished, and there is no
chance for laborers now. The prices o
wood, water and food still remain in the
luxury division, and unless a man has
already capital, and plenty of it, he liz in
a fair way to suffer for want of food, die
OF thirst or be frozen. Although the
weather is cold, it is not SO frigid as Ton
opah and Goldfeld. The elevation is
almost 1900 feet less than it is ia the two
camps at the north.-Tonopah Sun.

The Proper Way.

It's a credit to the state of Nevada
that the people of Reno refrained or
rather were restrained, by the sheriff, of
taking the law in their own hands dur
ing the excitement OF last Friday, caused
by the hendish assault Of a black cur
upon a defenseless woman. There is no
punishment too severe for such a brute,
but it should go through the proper
channels Of the law. and its to be hoped
he will receive the just penalty for
the crime committed.

Western Pacific to Begin Construction

Word comes TO the Silver State from
a prominent stakeholder and director in
the much talked of Western Pacific that
actual construction work will be CON-
menced by that company within 60 days

money can rush it. This is indeed good

The announcement has been made
that the railroad company would, during
the current year, lay heavy ballast on
that part Of the line lying between the

not, for some time and possibly never,
make the proposed change in their main

Russia On The Verge Of A Revolution

The throne OF the Gar of Russia is
tottering and it may be but a short time
before he is unseated or even falls a
victim to the hands of the enraged peo-
pie. The direct cause is from labor
troubles and undoubtedly the recent de-
feat at the seat of wal had something to
do with it. A dispatch from st Peters
bnrg, dated Jan. % says: Not since
ST. Bartholomew day has the world
witnessed such a massacre as stains the
latest page of Russian history. On Sum-
day afternoon the streets ran red with
blood of people who were clamoring only

Defective Rail Causes Wreck.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. 24.-S
Pacific passenger No. l, known as the
Overland Limited, which left here at
3;55 p. m. Yesterday, jumped the track
at Kodak, four miles east of Lovelock,
New, about 5 o'clock this morning and
eight or ten cars composing the train
left the rails. Reports from the scene of
the wreck state that no one was serious
ly injured although a number were
bruised badly. There is a cut at this
point at which the derailment occurred
and as the wrecked train is in the cut it
will be necessary to build a "shoo fly"
track around before the trains may be
operated. The Overland was making
good speed when the accident occurred.
The cause OF the derailment is ascribed
to the springing of a switch point, which
caused the ears to climb the rails.
Kodak, New, Jan. 24.-The Overland
flyer is in the ditch at this place having
left the track shortly after s o'clock this
morning The mail cars are thrown
across the track with their trucks
smashed. The diner and four coaches
are standing at an angle OF forty-five de
grees with their windows broken and
seats torn loose by the violence they un.
derwent. The engine and the last two
cars of the train ran into Lovelock and
returned with three doctors and a
caboose, but their services were not re-

AMERICAN TERRITORY
ISLE OF cINEs OBJECT TO CUBAN
 DOMINATION.
s. III. Percy Tells Of The Conditions Which Prevail -- Cuba Has Done Nothing For The
 Island.
By R. H. watkins.

Washington, Nov. 15.-(Special)-- Speaking Of the American demonstra- tion on the Isle of Pines, Sam H. Pear cy, formerly of Nashville, said today: Tt was like an old style Southern mass meeting-all enthusiasm"
 Mir. Pearcy is vice president of the Isle of Pines Company which controls 150,00O acres out of total of about 100000 on the island. He came here to arrange big deal. involving the starting of a city on a fine port on the south coast and building a railroad through the island.
 MT. Pearcy is one of the strongest advocates that the island must remain part of the United States. He is test ing the question in the courts, having sent 10000 cigars to New York, his contention being that the government could not seize these as being more than the law permits as they are not from a foreign country.
 We are fighting for justice,' he continued. Wood sold us out, lock, stock and barrel for two coaling sta- tions, after he had assured us the is- land would be retained by the United States. Cuba's only interest in the is- land is to afford snug berths for a few officials. There are about twelve officers on the island, all filled by -carpet- baggers, as no native has one.

 Personally. just lost $1,0O0. as flour and other merchandise which brought from Mobile, had passed through a warehouse without q roof and noth- ing to protect the goods from rain. They have refused to repair the dock or roads.
 When bridge between the chief towns routed, the alcalde would do nothing, and tried to stop us when we started to make the necessary repairs out of our pockets.
 We were pleased when Cuba got her freedom. but we do not wish to link our destinies with hers. We claim rights which were guaranteed us. We have set up as an American territory. and purpose to maintain that status. Any person who has in his blood any of the spirit displayed by those in the Boston Tea Party will sympathize with us in our effort for freedom"

MERE PERSONAL FIGHT
CAUSE or DEATH or AMERICAN
 MISSIONARIES.
Chinese Minister Declares That Inc MurdeR of the Five Persons was Not Due to Politics or
 Religion.

Washington, Nov 15.-No boycott; no race feeIinr. but a mere personal quarrel was the cause Of the oeatn ol the i've. American Preseyteriah hin sionaries recently at Llencnow China, according to the report maue today to Secretary Root by Sir Chan tung Lian Cheng, the Chinese Minis ter here.
 The Minister had with him when he came to the State Department, a copy of long cablegram from the viceroy of Canton, bearing on this suo!ect MachIe and Miss Patterson. two of the missionaries who escaped massacre py reason of their temporary absence from Lfenchow, had just reached Canton un- der a strong Chinese guard.
 According to pr. Machle, and his in- vestigations were shared in by the American consular agents. the anti American boycott had nothing to do with the tragedy and in fact that movement had caused no feeling at all in that section of China.
 The trouble arose from the holding of Chinese festival and fair. As an incident to this fair, the Chinese erect ed a pavilion or booth, which the mis- sionaries claimed overlapped the mis- sion hospital compound several feet. The missionaries ordered the removal of that part of the building but be- fore this request could be complied with, one of the missionaries went into the pavilion grounds and seized sev- eral small cannon with which salutes were being fired as a part of the fes- tival.
 These cannon were held to be sacred instruments by the Chinese. They were finely chased with symbolic de- signs and gorgeously ornamented for. this particular occasion. The Chinese believed that each discharge blew away or destroyed certain malignant spirits lowering about the place.
 Consequently, according to the re- port ,the seizure of the cannon created at first consternation and then anger and the i'll feeling eliminated in the attack upon the missionaries and their death.

SELMA SLOW IN ACTING.
Not Known Who Will Represent City at
 Mobile Meeting.

Selma, Nov. 5--(Special. )-The ques- ton as to who will represent this city at the baseball meeting in Mobile De- cember 1 Is being asked by the lovers of baseball The meeting is for the purpose of forming new league which will probably be composed of clubs in Meridian, Vicksburg. Jackson. Selma, Mobile and Pensacola What the circuit will be has not yet been decided. but it is thought that the above cities will form the new baseball associa- ton.
 The meeting to be held in Mobile on
 the first day of next month is for the
 purpose of launching the new league.
 Selma has been frequently mentioned
 as one of the cities that will compose the league. Whether 1t will or not cannot as yet be determined. but there seems to be no move on the part of the lovers of the game here to have a representative at the meeting.
 The majority of the baseball enthu- siasts in the city think that a club here next summer would prove profit able. They say the time is ripe for or- ganized ball and are anxious to see this city have franchise in some league. No doubt before the first of the month arrives the fans of the city will get together and name some one to attend the meeting to secure a franchise.
