Warburton was graduated from West
Point, ticketed to desolate frontier
post, and would have worn on, his
existence there but for his guiding star,
which was always making frantic eff
forts 10 bolt its established orbit. One
day he was doing scout duty, perhaps
half a mile in advance Of the pay,
train as they called the picturesque
caravan which, consisting of a canopied
wagon and small troop of cavalry in
dingy blue. made progress across the
desert-like plain OF Arizona The
troop was some ten miles from the post,
and as there had been no sign of Reu
Eagle all that day. they concluded that
the rumor of his being on a drunken
rampage with half a dozen braves was
only rumor Warburton had Just
passed over roll of earth and for a
moment the pay-train mad dropped out
OF sight. 1t was twilight; opacscent
waves of heat rolled above the bis,ered
sands. A pale yellow Sky. like an in
verted bowl trimmed with delicate blue
and crimson hues. encumpassed the
world. The bliss of solitude foil on
him, and. being something of a
poet. he rose TO the stars. The
smoke Of his rorn-coh pipe trailed
lazily behind him. The horse un-
der him was Looping along easily.

him! She tucked the shawl more snug

rearranged the pillows back Of his

soup; she read from some favorite
book; she smoothed the furrowed
brow; she stilled the long, white, ner-

AERONAUT CASHED
Machine Failed to Respond to Sig nals and He Was Dashed
 to the Ground.

Oakland, Cal, Feb 23.--An unsuc- cessful trial was made by Prof Mont gomery's aeroplane at Idora park yes terday, and it almost resulted in serl- ous injury to David Wilkie. the aeronaut. At the height of 1900 feet Prof Montgomery signalled to descend, but the aeroplane did not respond. Suddenly, however, it was seen to drop from its support and shout went up from the spectators.
 For single moment the aeroplane re mained on even keel, then it sWerved sharply and began to fall in short cir cles. Clinging desperately to the framework of the air-ship, Wilkie would be seen making frantic efforts to regain control of the machine, and twice 1t seemed that he had succeeded. Like wounded bird the aeroplane swept downward, twice fighting, itself, only to again plunge toward earth.
 The last time the machine tloated on even keel it was within Il short dis tance of the ground, and to this fact Wilkie owes his life, for when the ma chine started again toward the ground it had but few feet to fall. It struck with force enough to wreck the ma chine, but the aeronaut escaped with a bad gash on the nose and number of painful bruises.

HEPBURN BILL Democratic Members in
 Conference. AMEDMENT TALK Members Reserve Right to Vote On Amendments if Presented ---Tillman Gillespie Reso-
 lution Passed.

Washington, Feb. 23-At 12:15 the senate committee on interstate com merce took recess until two o'clock. It was understood this recess was taken in order to give the democratic members further opportunity for consultation All the minor amend ments offered to the Hepburn bill were voted down during the forenoon session.
 After the democratic members of the committee had conferred it devel- oped that they would report the Hep burn bill without amendments but diff ferent members would reserve the right to support amendments when the bill was considered in the senate.
 Without opposition the house at it's first business to-day passed the Till man. Gillespie resolution, directing the interstate commerce commission to make examination into the subject of railroad discrimination and monopolies and report on the same from time to time.
 The Hepburn bill was reported fa- vorably by the senate committee on interstate commerce, Senator Tillman, the leading democratic member, being authorized to present the report. The vote for the favorable report was 6, but the democrats reserved the right to vote for amendments.

HOME FROM HUNT
General Shafter Talk. Interest. ingly of the Chinese
 Situation.

Fl Paso, Texas, Feb 23.-General William s. Shafter, who commanded the United States army in Cuba dur ing the Spanish-American war, passed through here yesterday en route from q hunt in Mexico to his California home. Discussing the Chinese situa- ton and the possibilities of interyen- tion by the United States, he said:
 If there was an uprising in China this country eould not get sufficient forces in the field to make a showing. There are many troops in the Philip pines, but they would not be available fora clash with the Chinese. The dan ger, If there is any, is to the Americans situated far inland. If they were at tackled 1t would be all over before the United States could get troops to the spot. So far]as the naval forces are concerned. 1t is different. The navy is well equipped. At Manila, along the coast of Japan and China, and at othe; convenient points i'll the Orient, the United States has ships which be brought to bear on China and enough to meet all possible needs.'
 Do you believe that China has a grievance against the United States? the general was asked.
 Grievances? Of course she has, he declared. "For years the Chinese have been subjected to every possible indignity by our officials. It has been scandalous. Theodore Roosevelt recog- nizes 1t and has issued instructions which ought to bring about some i'm provement."
