l was on an expedition for the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad out in Colo
rado with 100 burros, four saddle
horses and twenty-five Mexican burro
drivers to distribute them among four
for that company through wild
mountainous country. After reaehlng
the head waters of the San Juan River
my route was down that stream. along
narrow trails, where we had to march
single file, crossing aud recrossing the
stream, and occasionally following its
bed until we came to narrow canon
with perpendicular walls of rock about
q thousand feet high on each side
From there our trail led up steep
mountain side. covered with juniper
shrubs and an occasional stunted juni-
per tree a large one of which. with a
trunk nearly a foot in diameter and Il
dense round top, looking somewhat like
Chinese umbrella tree, stood on the
edge Of a mesa on top of the canon
near the precipice. A protracted
drought was prevailing and verything
was as dry as finder. When near the
top, within a hundred feet of that ju-
niper tree, fortunately on my feet

suddenly exploded, sputtering flames
in every. direction and soon setting the
whole mountain side ablaze. My horse
reared and turned several somersaults
down the mountain side, its descent
being arrested by another juniper bush
at the edge of the preclplce. where it
regained its feet. while the frightened
burros rushed peilmell for the river.
We all had to run for our lives, pur-
sued by the rapidly advancing confia-
grafton, until we reached safe shelter
in the canon. where we camped all
night and witnessed the sudden start
ing of forest fires on the other side of
the river. spreading with amazing ra-

burro drivers. declared was the work

THE PRIEST AND THE TIGER.

TIE Rev. Father Froger, Principal
of st. Joseph's College, Bangalore, In
dia, writes to the local papers describ-
ing an experience when cycling from
Wellington to Octacamund by the Ko-
tngiri Road-this being the road. it is
understood, which comes into Octaca-
mund from the Snowdon direction. Ac-
cording to the Englishman's summary,
the Reverend Father was riding quiet
ly along when he saw what looked
like tiger sitting on rock on the
bare hillside above him. AS he
watched the fact that 1t was tiger be-
came apparent, and, to Father Froger's
horror. it suddenly bounded straight
down the hillside and made for him.
Fortunately, there was a slight incline
in his favor in the road, and he cycled
for his life until the upward grade be-
came too steep and he had to get off.
Apparently, the beast did not pursue
after he had lost sight of the cycllst,
but the unprovoked attack is in itself
an unusual occurrence, especially with
Nilgirl tigers. There seems little doubt
that tigers are unusually numerous

taglri bears and panthers are also said

LIE eREAT MARsHIP KANsAe.
Bottle Of Kansas Water is Used in
Christening.

OuTtSkCHluAs
Philadelphia. The battleship Kan
sas, the largest war vessel ever built
in the east, was launched at 12.47 p.
M Saturday at the yard Of the New
York Shipbuilding company in Cam
den, N. ]. The launching was witness
ed by Governor Hoch OF Kansas,
whose daughter acted as sponsor for
the ship. Along with the governor
was christening party of 80 Kansans.
An unusual feature Of the launch
ing was the fact that the vessel was
christened with water brought from
Kansas by Governor Hoch instead of
the customary bottle of champagne.
This was the first time that water in
stead of wine has been used in launch
ing vessel in TINS vicinity.
Governor Hoch of Kansas made the
suggestion and he made the announce
ment after the launching that the
christening bottle contained only wa
ter.
The Kansas is sister ship of the
Vermont.
The keel plates of the Kansas were
laid February 10, 1904. She is known
as $50 foot battleship and her con-
tract calls for a maintenance of 10
knots speed for four consecutive
hours. Her armament will be: Main
battery, four IL inch, eight inch,
twelve z inch breech loading rifles;
secondary battery, 20 three inch, or
IA Founders, rapid fire guns, so caliber
in length; IL three FOUNDER semiauto-
matte guns, six one FOUNDER auto

ic three inch fieldpieces, two machine
guns Of g caliber. These guns will be

PEOPLE OF NORWAY FAVOR SEP

Only One Person in 5000 Is Opposed

statement-Want a Monarchy.

Christiania, Norway, Aug. 1.-THE
Norwegian people, in referendum
vote taken Sunday, pronounced in IA
vor of the dissolution of the union
with Sweden with remarkable though
not unexpected unanimity. Of 100000
votes, 100000 cast ballots. The differ
ence between the total number of
voters and the number of votes cast
is attributable to absentees, such as
sailors abroad and others who are out
of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right Of
franchise, signed petitions in the
streets indorsing the dissolution. In
Christiania and other cities the total
population turned out, everywhere
wearing long streamers of the national
colors and pictures of Premier Michel
sen.
One member of the cabinet said to
the Associated Press:
"The result surpasses the most
sang uAnC expectations uS hCAI Va
fetal steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August 81, when
the result of the plebescite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat ,ne request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt in OPP
Grafton and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the earn
est desire of Norway to conclude the
dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes Of Sweden in
other directions.
IF peace depends upon abolishing
the forts they will be abolished. Nor
way must remain a monarchy; the
people do not desire a republic"

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Many Reasons Urged on President
Against a Uali.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Not-
withstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has emanated
from various sources during the last
few months, congress may not be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt him
self. He has not decided definitely
yet and will probably not reach de-
termination until he shall have re
turned to Washington the latter part
of September. The chances of an ex-
traordinary session appear, however,
to be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large
number of letters regarding it. Many
senators and representatives have
urged against an extra session.
