LITTLE ISLAND
DISAPPEARED
SEEN NO MORE AFTER A HURRl.

Mere Coral Reef, uninhabited-Sci
entists Are Puzzled over the Mat
ter.

San Francisco, Dec. 22.-The Oce-
anic Co.'S steamship Mariposa, arriv-
ing here yesterday from Tahita,
brought the news Of a change in the
topography Of the Pomotus group. A
little island named Hikueru, located in
the group, has disappeared and scien-
lists are wondering what brought
about the sudden effaeement of the
island
A short time before the island was
missed hurricane swept over that
portion Of Pomotus, but even il there
had been a tidal wave it is not likely
that the island would have been swept
away.
The supposition is that there has
been a severe earthquake which caus-
ed the island to sink into the sea.
The island of Hikueru was not in
habited, and there was no vegetation
on the coral reef that encircled the la
COON. 1t was known principally for
its pearl fishing.

The CAPTAIN
IS CONSCIOUS
THE MAN SHOT BY BAD NEGRO
TALKS.
He Is Confident the Would BE AS
sassin Was Negro and Says He
Knows No Reason for the Assault
Made Upon Him.

Ell Reno, Okla, Dec. 22-Capt. Ed
gar B. Macklin of Co. c, Twenty fifth
infantry, who was shot at his home
here late last night, was conscious
this morning and physicians at the
hospital expressed the belief that he
would recover. No trace of the would
be assassin, who is believed to be one
of the negro soldiers recently dis
charged on order of President Roose-
welt, has been found. Samuel Bartell
a detective arrived here early today
from Oklahoma City with blood
hounds, which he placed upon the trail
of the negro. Captain Macklin says
positively that the man who shot him
was a negro. He says he knows of
no cause for the assault.
At / O'clock this morning Captain
Macklin was resting easy and was re-
ported by the hospital physicians to
be improving. At that hour he said
his chances of recovery We're growing
better. Officers at the fort had no
opinion to express early today as to
whether or not the negro was one Of
the discharged soldiers.

WOULD HEAD oFF ALIENS.
President Plans Message Urging Re-
striction of immigration.

Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Roosevelt will send another message
to congress after the holiday recess.
He will make recommendations urg-
ing the passage of laws providing more
drastic regulations pertaining to immi-
grafton.
He Is said Ia take the position that
numerically immigration must be re-
duced, but whether he will recon-
mend an educational test or an in
creased tax is not known There is
reason to believe the president will
suggest the Sadvisability of effecting
diminished immigration by imposing
stricter rules on the steamship COM
panies engaged in the business of
transporting immigrants to the United
States. If the president carries out his
original programme his message on inn
migration will prove an interesting
state paper, as the sociological and
psychological aspects of the question
win be treated

The Superior Story
Was a Pipe Dream
NO EIGHTY. CAR TRAIN HAS BEEN
STARTED.
The Great Northern Is Rushing all the
Coal it Can From That Point, But
in the Regular Way With Ordinary
Trains.

st. Paul, Dec. Superintendent OF
transportation Bryan of the Great
Northern characterizes as nonsensical
the story from Superior that an eighty
car freight train loaded with coal was
about to start from Superior on a pas
senger train schedule. He says that
coal trains have been leaving Superior
as fast as they could be made up and
that trains made up yesterday are on
their way to Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota points today.
1T would be bad business for us to
try to move an eighty-ca train; first
because of our cars weighing about
fifty-five tons; and second because few
connecting lines have sidings long
enough to handle such a train We
have been sending out commercial coal
from Superior for the past ten days,
giving 1t preference over other freight
and much Of 1t has already reached it's
destination"

KICKED UPSTAIRS.
Bryce's Appointment 10 to Get Rid Of
Him--Durand Really Fired.

London, Dec. 22 The appointment
of Mr.. Bryce as British ambassador to
America is partly due to the desire to
fiatter Washington and partly to the
wish TO get him out of the cabinet,
since he is regarded as too old to con-
duct the home rule bill to be introduce
ed next session. Mr.. Bryce himself is
reluctant to go and hence the delay in
the acceptance of the offer.
The foreign Office believes that the
social side Of Washington is very i'm
portant, and In that sphere Mrs. Bryce
should succeed admirably, while Mr..
Bryce is expected to do we'll with the
senators, who are regarded by the for
|eign office here as important as the
secretary of state.
1t is frankly acknowledged that sir
Mortimer Durand'g retirement is not
due to any desire of his, but simply
because he would not bestir himself
to counterbalance the personal influ-
.ence Of Baron SpecIx Won Sternburg,
the German ambassador. and of MI.
Jusserand, the French ambassador
Winston Churchill ii already prepsr-
ed TO step into the reconstructed cabt-
net after Or, Brycc's departure.

to Have Done the job.
FL Reno, Okla, Dec. 22.-Capt. Ed
gar B. Macklin of Co. c.. Twenty fifth
United States infantry, was shot twice
and dangerously wounded last night
by a negro and the belief is expressed
here that it was one of the members
of the troops discharged by President

Brownsville riots.
The shooting occurred at the officers
quarters at Fort Reno. Captain Mack
lin and his wife were at the dinner ta-
BILE when someone tried to gain an en-
trance at the side door.
Captain Macl1lin asked: "Who is
there?"
The reply came, 81 have message
for you"
"Come around to the back door," said
Captain Maclllin. A negro, part of his
face covered by mask. entered with
the command, Throw up your hands
and give me all the money you have
got"
Without giving Captain Macklln
time to reply he fired twice and then
fled into the darkness One bullet en-
tered Captain Macklins abdomen. The
second struck him in the jaw.
A surgeon says that while his
wounds are dangerous, they are not
necessarily fatal Captain Mac1lin is
about 30 years of age and is son of
Brigadier-General Maeklin, retired.
Dec IA the secretary of war ordered
a court martial of Captain Maclzlin for
conduct to prejudice of good order
and discipline in failing to exercise due
diligence in preventing the occurrence
of rioting at Brownsville last August ?

on Duty Too Long.
Minot, NJ. d.. Dec. 22. Standing by
his post in the binding snow and with
the thermometer be-ow zero so that the
lives Of the passengers on his train
might be safe from danger, Frank
Kirk a brakeman on the Great North
ern. froze his feet SO badly last Thurs
day that it will be several months be-
fore he can leave the Ward county
hospital. He was brought to Minot
FRIDAY morning and while his case is
stilI critical it is hoped that his feet
can be saved.
There he stood at the switch sig
mailing the trains at Stanley, conscious
that his feet were becoming more
numb every moment, but knowing the
responsibility that rested upon his
shoulders, he stood his post until re-
lievcd. If he had not held his posi-
fion so heroically, 1t is hard to say
what would have happened. Freight
and passenger trains were constantly
on the move and life depended upon
his keeping his post whether he died
at 1t or not.
When relieved 1t was found that his
toes were frozen stiff and he was has
tened to Minot, where he received
medical care. He viii be in the hospir
tai for several weeks.
