THE WAR PATH.
Mammoth Play Ground of the Jamestown

Chicago had her midway" St.
Louis her "Pike," Portland her
s'Trail,n and the jamestown expo
sition, which is to be held on the
shores OF Hampton Roads, near Nor
folk, Va, in 1907, will have a ''W ar
Path. y The scenic amusements have
much to do with making an exposition
attr active, and after long day OF
sightseeing in the various exhibit
palaces it is a relief and recreation
TO turn to the great white way where
the lights glitter, where the mounte-
banks and soubrettes rule their merry
crews, where the joyous ballyhoo man
baWls his incoherent buncombe, where,
in short, the multitude is at play.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has named the
playground of the Jamestown exposi-
tion 1.-THE War PATH" and it is GER
tain that the entertainment to be fur
nished by the concessions lining its
dazzling streets will be sufficiently
exciting to make the name Appropriate.
The s'Wa ar Path" occupies beauti-
full space fronting upon the military
parade ground and is 1888 feet long
by 73O feet il width. There are two
parallel streets separated by central
block, on both sides of which are con-
cessions, thus making a total frontage
of more than mile, including the
bazaars at either end. The streets
are eighty feet wide and paved with
brick. An arcade covered by a glass
dome which at night will be afame
with lights divides the central block
into two equal parts and makes con-
venient passageway between the streets.
A miniature elevated railroad runs
along three sides of the "War Path, /"
affording rapid and cheap transpor-
tation as we'll as charming and COM
prehensiVe view of the great city of
mirth.
The main entrance is fanked by the
American and the Oriental bazaars,
which open upon plaza It's feet wide
by 100 feet in length, On all sides of
which will be hanging gardens. There
will be, of course, a scenic railway, a
shoot-the-chutes and other familiar
amusements, but for the most part the
concessions will be new and many Of
them sensational. Among the good
things thus far secured are paul
Revere's Ride "The Destruction of
San Francisco, - 1.-THE Palace of His
tory, " ssThe Battle Between the Mon
itor and the Merrimac, "The Haunted
Castle, " 1.-THE Pyramids of Egypt, >"
1.-THE Swiss Village'' and s'Tea Gar
den of Old Japan"
There will be also a number OF
unique musical attractions to vary the
spectacular program, and several pan
oramic concessions almost stupendous.
The s'Wa ar PATH will be at its best at
night, when the light effects will make
it a veritable dreamland OF brilliancy
and beauty. fMeet me on the War
Path" will be the slogan of all ex-
position visitors in 1907.

The Movement for Anti.Fraud Laws.

ENG HRVVGmSMt lOE AMAAsFEduG AaWSs
There is today, all over the United
States, a decided movement toward
the enactment Of laws that will protect
consumers against substitution and
adulteration.
Many states now have very stringent
pure food laws, and a national pure
food law is to go into effect January
l, 1907.
New York state has also a law pro-
hibiting the stamping of cotton as
linen, and a law compelling all silver
sold as sterling to be 925-1OO0 fine.
Other states have other laws along the
same lines. North Dakota has taken the
lead in enaeting a law for the protec-
ton of property owners against very
common and serious kind Of fraud
the selling of adulterated paints and
paints containing ingredients worth
less or worse than worthless. The law
compels all makers Of adulterated
paints to label their kegs with the ex-
act ingredients OF their paints.
Pure white lead and linseed : oil is
accepted as the standard paint by the
lawmakers, just as it is by paint au-
thorities everywhere.

sLAMEs FRENCH PRIESTS.
Story Of Attack on Missionarieo At
Nanchanq, China.

Shanghaf.-The following account of
the recent attack on foreign mission
aries at Nanchang, city Of 1000. 900
| inhabitants, has been received:
Fl1teen Methodists, twelve English
Protestants and fourteen French Cath
olic missionaries were in the city on
last Thursday night whentth French
Catholics had quarrel with an official
over suit for the possession of prop.
erty. Great excitement prevailed ON
Friday. A mass meeting was held on
Saturday and was followed on Sunday
by riot. during which the property of
the Catholics was burned. The Pro-
testants took refuge in the adjoining
house OF Mr.. Kingman. The house was
burned. and six priests and two of the
Kingman family were killed.
The Chinese governor attempted to
check the riot and rescue the mission
aries. The men of the Methodist mis-
sion, aided by Chinese soldiers. took
their school girls to Chinese homes in
the city and brought Misses Hoyt and
Kahn from hospital. All took refuge
in mid-river. in a launch which was
furnished by Chinese officials. The
launch waited until Chinese soldiers
brought the remaining missionaries at
daylight on Monday. The launch
reached K1ukiang on Tuesday. The
wounded Kingman girl died on the
way. Chinese could have blocked the
passage Of the launch during the
twelve hours journey down the mar
row, shallow river, but they were
friendly.
Quirmbach, a Methodist. remained
at Nanchang to care for property He
is under the protection of the COVER
nor and is probably safe. Lewis wired
Consul General Rodgers at Shanghai
on Sunday, warning of the disaster.
and wired the facts to Bishop Bash
ford on Monday. Captain Fletcher.
commanding the American ships, had
the location of every American mis-
sionary in the Yanktse valley. After
consultation on Monday, Captain
Fletcher ordered the gunboat Ell
Cano from Marking to, meet the fugi-
tives at Kiukiang or Poyang lake.
They were met at Kiukiang.
The cause of the riot was local. Sc
rious blame attaches to the French
Catholics. Chinese friendly to the
missionaries object to priests exercis-
ing civil functions.

HEPBURN BILL SAFE.
Prediction that the Senate viii Pass
It Without Change.

Washington.-That the railroad rate
bill will be passed by the Senate prac-
dcally as it came from the House is
an admission that the opponents o.:
the measure are almost ready to make.
1t has been admitted that they can
not hope for any assistance from the
President in getting an amendment
for judicial review of orders of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The
President made this clear to Senators
Crane and Spooner.
The only hope left to the opponents
of the measure is in the Democrats.
They have not definitely determined
what the party position will be tow
ard such an amendment, but iS is ad-
mitted that more than half of the min
ority favor passing the bill exactly as
it came from the House.
The railroad rate bill for several
days has been regarded as the one
measure standing in the way OF an
early adjournment of Congress.
One of the leading Republican SEN
ators. a member of the steering COM
mltree, declares that 1.-The Philippine
tariff bill, the statehood bill and the
Santo Domingo treaty are all dead"
He qualified his statement concern
ing the statehood bill by saying that
he meant that the friends of the bill
could not pass it without the Foraker
amendment providing for submission
to the votes of the people of New Mex
leo and Arizona separately the ques-
ton whether they should have joint
statehood.

Denver Dry Tillase Experiments.

The Park board of Denver has de-
cided that 1t will cooperate with the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in experiments soon to be con-
Quoted in Denver The department
will take up the study of producing
wheat, oats, rye and barley on dry
land. The Park board will assist the
department by giving over to it the
use of ten acres of land in the north
end of City park near the driving park
The land will be above the city ditch
and will be wholly without irrigation.
Experiments conducted privately
with these grains have shown that
there is great possibilities in this di-
rection. 1t is the plan of the depart
ment to get breeds of wheat that will
grow with the minimum amount of irri-
cation, If possible to get qualities of
grains that will need no more moisture
than it can get from precipitation in
an ordinary Colorado season. The
land in City park is admirably fitted
for the proposed experiments. The
matter of turning over the land to the
government is in the hands of Jacob
Fillius with power to act.
The Park board will conduct some
experiments of its own with the view
of securing a dry grass suitable for
park purposes that will not need irri-
CATION. The seed has already been re-
ceived and as soon as the time for
planting comes this spring it will be
planted. Some of the land in City
park is not under the city ditch, and
the board is anxious to have it sown
to grass. 1t will be necessary. there
fore, to secure a grass that does not
need much water. This seed will be
planted in City park and in Washing
ton park.

INVESTIGATION OF STEUNEN-
BERG MURDER.
Statements Reported to Have Been
Made Before the Grand Jury at
Caldwell, Idaho.

Denver.-Under date of March 1st
the Denver News, correspondent tele-
graphs from Caldwell, Idaho:
The witnesses examined to-day were
!. Orchard, who, it is believed, will go on
the stand again tomorrow; James Nc
Parland, the Pinkerton detective;
Andy Johnson of Boise, George Fro
man, resident of Caldwell, and Prof.
S. r. Macy, state chemist.
McParland's testimony went to cor
roborate the statements contained in
the confession of Orchard. The wit
ness stated to the jury that his inves-
legations had disclosed that a bomb
hal been placed in the yard of Judge
Goddard of Denver; that the death OF
VALLEY in Denver by bomb explosion
was due to the Western Federation Of
ficialS.
Mcfarland also reported to the jury
that the agents of the Western FEEDER
alton had conducted their experiments
with bombs on the prairies to the north
of Manahatton beach, Denver.
Among the charges made by McPar-
land were the death of Martin Gleason,
mine superintendent of Cripple Creek;
the murder of Arthur Collins, the ex-
posion in the Vindicator mine by
which two men met their deaths, the
mysterious disappearance of Barney,
the mining engineer employed at the
Telluride
Under the latitude allowed witnesses
in the grand jury room the witness
gave many statements on information
and belief in which he charged the
miners organization with responsible
ity for no less than twenty-six fatali-
ties.
He charged that Haywood was the
mind which originated and com
manded the execution of all the plots
Meyer was the dupe, said the witness,
and Pettibone lent his counsel to the
business for the financial returnp it
netted him.
Professor Macy examined the
bombs, said to number twenty-five,
which were found in Orchards room
and among his effects. Andy John
son was a witness at the preliminary
hearing of Orchard. At this hearing
he was asked by Orchards counsel IL
he was working for reward when he
made the arrest. He denied the i'm
putation, but later when he found there
were rewards offered he asked Judge
Church to have his answer stricken
from the records in order that he
might share in the prize money.
Among the witnesses subpoenaed to-
morrow are w. S. Swain of the Thiel
Detective Agency. and Joseph Hutch
inson, who was lieutenant governor
with Steunenberg, and who was the
first man to break into Orchards room
at the Saratoga hotel. II is believed
that the grand jury will be ready to re-
port the indictments not later than
next Monday. Under the law indict-
ments must be accompanied by a
transcript of the Testimony, and as a
great number of witnesses will be ex-
amined it may take a day to prepare
the returns after the work is con-
cluded.

RIGHT OF WAY SUIT.
Progress of Saratoga & Encampment
Railroad.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The fight between
the Union Pacific and the Saratoga &
Encampment railway companies over
a right of way for the latter over the
railroad grant lands of the former
from Walcott south toward Saratoga,
which has been brewing for
some time, is now On in
dead earnest. On Wednesday the
Saratoga & Encampment company
filed suit at Rawlins to compel the
Union Pacific to permit the former cor
poration to lay a line of standard rail
way from the southern edge of the
Union Pacific lands to Walcott.
Attorneys for the Saratoga & En-
campment say they have for months
attempted to compromise matters
with the overland route, but that the
latter would not accept any of their
propositions. They are now prepared
to fight it out in the courts, and are
sanguine as to the outcome.
Graders for the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment, which is reported to be part OF
the Denver, Yellowstone & Pacific, are
now at work between Saratoga and
Walcott throwing up the grade as fast
as the work can be done. The com.
pany hopes to have the line ready for
trains not later than May list. The
present suit with the Union Pacific
may cause a further delay, however
but so sure are the s. & e. officials
over the outcome of the suit that they
are already making preparations to
handle business from Saratoga on May
1st

STEVE ADAMS coNFEssEs INNER
CIRCLE CRIMES.
C0RRoBoRATING ORCHARD
Details of Many Murders-TeiIs
Secret Workings Of the Western

Secret Workings Of the Western
Federation.
Boise, Idaho.-The Statesman prints
the following:
"The Statesman is authorized to an,
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested at
Haines, Oregon, on February Goth, in
connection with the Steunenberg as
sassination, has made full and sweep
ing confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This is the statement made
by James Mcfarland, the Pinkerton de-
tective last evening, in the presence
of Governor Gooding and ]. H. Haw-
ley. who is in charge of the prosecu-
ton.
"Mr. Mcfarland added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrob-
GRATED that made by Orchard at every
point touched on by both.
Moreover, MCFARLAND continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
ings Of the inner circle than Orchard
did, and was able to give a mass of de-
tailed information that Orchards con-
fession did not cover. The confession
of Adams, he said, corroborated that
given by Orchard on every substantial
point connected with the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg. Adams,
however, was not at Caldwell at the
time of the assassination, nor was Or
chard at the time of the unsuccessful
effort in November The man who as
sisted Orchard on the latter occasion,
as set forth in Orchards confession,
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confess
sion gave the details of large num-
Der of murders that were not referred
to in any manner by Orchard. 1t was
further stated that the confession had
been reduced to writing. signed and
acknowledged. 1t was voluminous
document, covering a greater field and
in more detail than was made by Or
chard. The further statement was
made that Adams had made this con-
fession without being promised any
thing When talked with about the
matter he simply made clean breast
of all he knew of this case and of the
secret workings of the Western FEEDER
alton
1T was announced by the governor,
Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. MCFARLAND that,
while they thought these facts should
be made public, there would be no
further information given out or
limited at respecting this confession
