that he found Snna to be- practically
dcpopulatod. having been reduced
from n population of 10000 TO some
thing like 10000. ms result OF the
famine during the Arab Siege. The
Jews suffered terribly during this
period. and almost the whole town IN

knows. has only been visited by fow
Englishmcn. has magnificent and large
buildings. covered with decorations.
and the town Is surrounded by mud
walls. On his way to the capital Mr..
Buxton found villages had been de-
stroycd by the Turkish artillery, and
that a great portion OF the route to
Sana was entirely dcpopulnted. Large
numbers of skeletons and skulls
marked the route.
The siege Of Sana was attended by
terrible suffering and starvation. and
cnnnibalism occurred both among tho
Arabs and the Turks. The people were
reduced to terrible straits. and one
Turk himself admitted that he had
killed and eaten three Arabs. The

SMASH ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Immense Production Of Iron Arc In
America in 1905.

Neither King Edward nor the
kaiser is thought ever to have pro.
duced as much iron ore as did the
Yankee Jonathan in his single state
of Minnesota in 1905. Iron production
In the United States during the last
wear was unprecedented. Over 20
per cent of this came from the Lake
Superior region. which is the worlds
principal source of iron supply. Tho
shipments of the ore from that re.
gion in 1905 exceeded 100000 tons.
Iron ore deposits in Minnesota, north
and west of the developed ranges.
and in central Wisconsin were ex.
plored and investigated. Mines in
Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and
other states, which have long been in.
active were reopened. To emphasize
the magnitude Of the development in
Minnesota It need only be stated that
the Mesaba range alone. which first
produced ore in 1892, contributed to
the worlds supply in 1905 as much.
II not more iron, than did the Gs.<an

At evcntIde of the third day of their

tiny shells.
Here was large nat bottomed

| And. indeed. the strange man was
| pointing to his mouth with the Index
finger OF his right hand and signing
that they were to follow him into the
boat which had been waiting for them.
The Duchess leapt from her horse
and stepped from the little pier OF
| stone beside which the boat lay. and
walking firmly from seat to seat she
reached the stern. where she sat down
without seeming TO have so much rs
glanced at any OF the company.

Captains Boris and Jorian to take

set about building n fire and making
shelters OF brushwood. rs II they eS-
pccted to stay there some time.
The boat passed almost noiselessly
along. the strange man rowing strong
iy and the boat drawing steadily away
across the widest part Of the still In

the gloomy shores the sun went
down and darkness came upon them

the stalwart republicans would carry
at least four of the six wards in Sioux

counted that the stalwart republicans
had carried three wards solidly, but
that in one of the remaining wards the
stalwarts had elected fourteen of the
seventeen delegates, had tied on w
delegates n that c. E. Holmes, one of
the insurgent delegates, had been
elected.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Woods that
he had won the bet, but MI. Root
notified the stakeholder not to pay over
the money. 1t is contended by Mr..
Root that as the stalwarts did not elect
every delegate in the ward in dispute
they did not carry the ward. Mr.. Root
finally claimed the right to pull down
his share of the stake money, but Mr..
Woods put in a claim for the entire
$2O0 and there the matter stands.
