Hobo Kisses.

Allentown, Pa, March s.
Apparently it takes the proper
planting of goose egg or two to
stir the eloquence of tramp to
its deepest depths. Them lips
is mine, fer jist one kiss" ex-
claimed a hobo, as he emerged
from his hiding place, near
Indianland, as plump Miss
Martha Trump passed by.
On Miss Trump's arm hung a
basket of eggs and none but she
knew that some of them were
overripe goose eggs, to be util-
lied as nest eggs, So there were
two kisses waiting for the
tramp-one on the lips and
one Just behind the ear, as he
turned to run away Ia his dis
may-aud an ancient goose egg
imprinted each, for Miss Trump
hits what she aims at.

Longing on Bonded knee
Only for us is it all, my dear,
Only for you-and me!

There are 400 insane men at

Remarkable Effect Of the Earthquake
Upon MokeIumne River.
Stockton, Gait has been discov.
cred that in the vicinity of Wood

twelve feet, the bed of the river having
dropped from the effects of the recent
earthquake.
The stream had been carrying a lot
Of water when it was noticed that tho
river was steadily falling, contrary I'd
all precedent. An investigation
showed that the bed was almost
twelve feet lower than before.
AS the waterway has been steadily
filling up each year with silt from the
upper portion of the river, farmera
along that stream are highly pleased
with the change, since it can carry
far more water than heretofore and
not endanger their lands on either sidd
of it.
Another incident of the earthquake
is the drying up of Tracy lake, in the
northwestern part of San joaquin
county. Ever since the earthuuakd
the water has been decreasing at q
rapid rate, and at present it is almost
on a level with the Mokelumne river;

IMPERv|OUS TO BULLETS
But WERE SLAUGHTERED
FanaticaI Fury of ZuIus Did Not Count
Against the Trained Soldiers of
Great Britain.

Durham, Natal.-Colonel ManselPs
column, which is pursuing the Zulu
rebels under Chief Bambaata, was at
tackled Sunday by 200 Zulus while de-
scending a precipitous hill near the
grave of Chief Cettiwaya. Sixty Zulus
were killed. Colonel Mansell had
three men wounded.
Mansell was engaged in reconnais-
sance from Fort Yolland. He was CO.
operating with other columns in 'ex-
polling the rebels from forest, with
view of cutting Bambaata off from
escape. He thought the Zulu attack
ers were Bambaata's men. They num-
bered altogether over 1000 men and
attempted to employ the crescent for
nation adopted in the Zulu war, and
only Colonel ManselPs prompt dispo-
sition of his forces prevented disaster.
The Zulus displayed desperate fury.
They were armed with rifles and asse-
gals, and evidently had been drugged
by witch doctors, who pretend to be
able to render them impervious to
bullets.

LAKE TRAFFIC AT STANDSTILL..
Workmen on a Strike and the Big
Freight Vessels Are Idle.

TTSISHl VCSSSIS ARC iuiCs
Chicago.-Lake freight traffic is at a
standstill as a result of the strike Of
the longshoremen here, at Detroit,
Cleveland, Duluth and all over the
lakes.
Several of the boats which are not
affected by the strike bore upon their
sides early Tuesday large placards
announcing that they were union
boats. The center of the strike as
far as this city is concerned is not in
the city proper, but in South Chicago,
where the mills of the Illinois Steel
company, branch of the United Steel
corporation, are located.
The passenger boats running out OF
Chicago have not thus far been af4
fected by the strike.
At Cleveland, lumber boats, package
freight boats and passenger boats are
not affected by the strike at present,
as their owners are not affiliated with
the Lake Carriers association. In
the port of Cleveland 1000 men are
directly affected, 1000 of whom are
seamen.

tanned as Result Of San
Francisco Disaster.

Chicago.-Byron l.. Smith, president

provide for publication both before
and after elections. AS the principle

amendments, am confident that no

San Francisco.-The first accident
in connection with the dynamiting Of
dangerous walls by the engineers Of
the army took place Sunday. Smaller
quantities of explosives than were
used last week are now being fired,
and this necessitates two or more
charges of dynamite being exploded
before the desired result is attained.
The engineers were working in the
downtown district Twice had dyna-
mite been exploded under the facade
of tall ruin and third charge was
being inserted when the wall fell.
Three soldiers we're buried, but mass
of twisted iron partly shielded them,
and only one was seriously hurt.

Steal Reserve Supply Of Sail

Baku, Caucasia.-A daring plot Of
Armenian revolutionists to rob the
magazine in the arsenal here, guarded
by the Salivansk regiment, and con.
tanning over million rife cartridges,
the entire reserve supply for all the
regiments composing the garrison, has
been accidentally discovered when
the conspirators were already on the
very serge of success. They bored
tunnel 700 feet long in the direction Of
the arsenal. It was one of the most
pretentious examples of subterranean
work in revolutionary annals since the
days of the terrorists of the eighties.
From the basement of an Armenian
house the revoutionists worked their
way under several intervening resi-.
dences at depth of twenty feet.
They constructed completely sid.
ed tunnel, rooted it with planks and
provided 1t with electric light and cleo.
trio bells, connected with the stations
of the several revolutionists on watch.
Owing to slight miscalculation the
tunnel, in burrowing upward, entered,
not the magazine, but an adjoining
store room tn the arsenal containing
uniforms. Before they had time to
rectify their mistake the revolution.
lists were accidentally discovered by
an officer; the alarm was given and
Gordon of troops was Immediately
thrown around the adjoining houses.
But owing to the length of the tunnel,
the Armenian house from which the
conspirators started, was not suspect.
ed and they had ample time to escape.
The entrance of the tunnel was even.
tually discovered by volunteers, who
entered it from the store room and
traced the passage to it's source.

RESIGNATION or W|TTE
ACCEPTED BY THE CAR
Goremykin, a Reactionary of Little or
No Ability Is Chosen in the Place
of the Greatest Man in Rus
sian Public Life.

St. Petersburg.-The resignation OF
Count Witte as premier has been &C.
cepted. He will be succeeded by M.
Goremykin, former minister of the in
terror.
Privy Councillor Goremykin was
minister, of the interior from 1895 to
1899 and has taken prominent part
in Russian political life, especially
during the revolutionary period of the
last few years. His administration as
minister of the interior was not
marked by harshness and his name
has never been mentioned as one OF
the likely victims of the terrorists,
who assassinated two of his imme-
diate predecessors.
M. Goremykin's selection to the pre-.
miership created amazement. He is
not only regarded as a reactionary,
but the general opinion is that he is
not equal to the task of facing the
coming crisis.
Count Whites retirement from pub
lie life is complete.
M. Goremykin, the new premier,
was exposed by White in 1899 and
since that has been the retiring pre-
mier's unrelenting enemy.
Count White, unquestionably the
biggest man in public life here, goes
out unwept and unsung and amid the
rejoicings of the reactionaries who
hate the liberals, who dfstrust him.
Yet even today it is predicted that
when the next great crisis comes the
emperor will be forced to summon
WHITE from his retirement.
