THEIR ESCAPE.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 20.-A special
to the Tribune from Sheridan, Wyo.,
says that part of the band of Ute
Indians who are being escorted to
Fort Meade by United States troops
escaped and are believed to have
gone to the Sioux reservation. The
Utes objected to the immediate pres.
ence Of the cavalry escort and the
troops were ordered to keep at a
certain distance: This gave the In
dians an opportunity to desert, Of
which a number took ADVANTAGE. ~

CAUSE OF MUCH VIOLENCE.
Strike of Chauffeurs in New York City
at an End.


New York, Nov. 2O.-The automo-
bile drivers strike ended early in the
day when a settlement was reached
between committee representing the
men and officials of the New York
Transportation company. It is un-
derstood that the terms included a
provision that the men should re.
turn as individuals, except those who
had engaged in violence. Such men
are not to be re-employed.
The strike just ended has been pro-
ductive Of more scenes of disorder
than any strike in New York for
years, excepting the street car strike.
Since tie strike began on Oct. Is
there have been sixty-fve arrests.
The men gained an increase in
wages, but the working day will con-
tinue twelve hours. The strikers had
also to waive their demands that the
shop be made a union one. The men,
however, are given the right to main
tain their own union

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally. and acts di-
rectly on the blood and N ucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for
years and is a regular prescrip-
ton. It IS composed of the best
tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces.

other way around-that hot water
ought to withstand the low tempera-

does seem reasonable, but little IN
vestigation shows us that 1t is not Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling Of water expels the
air from it, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with it's air. In the
second place, there is always a slight
agitation on the surface of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their po.

particles in hot water divide into small

less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

ASTORIAN, BUREAU, WASHING
TON, Feb. H.--There is little doubt in
the minds Of most members Of Con-
gress than an adjournment will be tax
en- this session some time during May.
Following completion of work on the
rate.regulation bill, Philippine tariff
and statehood propositions, there is
little of such urgent nature before Con-
Qress that the members feel it incum-
bent upon them to prolong this session.
Appropriations are to be held to the
minimum, because OF party conditions,
and the multitude of measures affecting
only sections of the country will be
subordinated to the general sentiment
for an early adjournment.
Oregon Appropriations.
In the list of states to receive atten-
tion this year by the government ap-
propriating power, Oregon will stand
high. Every possible assurance that
can be given quietly is enjoyed by the
Oregon delegation that the very ur-
gent work on the Columbia river will
be continued. 1t is possible that the
War Department in comforting with the
managers in Congress, will interpret
this most urgent need as existing at
the mouth OF the river, but there IS
yet hope in the determined work of the
two Oregon senators for steady work
on the Cello canal project, These two
great projects on the Columbia have
been championed early and late by all
of the northern Oregon, southern Wash
ington and northern Idaho interests,
with the result that their details are
familiar to all of Congress.
Senator Fulton is pressing the effort
for combination dredge on the coast,
which would serve all the harbors of
that section. An effort was made to
divert him in favor of contract

yield the plan for construction of a
dredge for this work, and expresses the
hope that he will be successful this ses-
sion. Light improvement will doubt

SUDDEN CHANGE OF ADVICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. ls-If anything
more were needed to show the immi-
nence of danger in China, it would ts
found in the sudden change from optim-
ism to pessimism on the part of Edwin
H. Conger, until recently United States
Minister to China. Mr.. Conger sees
trouble ahead, and in an interview this
week he declares his belief that it is
near at hand. He adds that warlike
showing should be made by the foreign
governments to impress China with the
fact that, if foreigners are killed, thers
will be sharp retaliation.
The American Minister shortly before
be left Pekin declared that never would
there be further trouble with China,
and it was unnecessary to increase the
American force or to add any guns to
the battery.
The War Department always iisliked
to. take action which did not meet the
approval of the Minister resident, and
SO the American part of the defenses
was left in a condition which, as far
as effectiveness was concerned, made
this country's forces and equipment look
weak and meager by the side of those
maintained by other foreign govern.
ments in Pekin.
Finally, Mr.. Conger approved a recom-
mendation by the commander of the
American force that additional guns be
! shipped from the Philippine Islands, but
stated verbally that he believed there
was no necessity for the course reconi-
mended, and that occasion never would
arise which would make the guns of
service.

LONDON, Feb. ls.--The first session
Of the second Parliament Of the reign
Of King Edward vn and the twenty.
seventh Of the United Kingdom will be
opened tomorrow afternoon by the
King. Since His MAJESTY assembled the
throne he has personally opened each of
the six sessions Of Parliament adding
much to that most ceremonious occa'
sion. Tomorrow's event has the added
interest in that ii win be the first new
Parliament to be opened by the King
but more particularly because Of the
great charge that has come over the
personnel Of the House OF Commons as
a result Of the recent general election.
The pageant will be much like those
that have gone before, though de-
tractcd from the absence Of the Queen
who is at Copenhagen TO attend the
funeral of her father King Christian,
and the Prince and Princess Of Wales
who are in India, and who in the past
have preceded the King and Queen to

the show. Weather permitting there
will be no diminusion however In the
size of the crowds who will turn out

their loyalty to the Sovereign. The
quadrangle on which Buckingham pal

vicinity will be crowded with people,

Palace Yard will be lined by thousands
who will stand for hours and for that
reason possibly will cheer more heart
lily than ever as the gold crusted state
coach drawn by eight beautifully ca
parisoned cream horses, driven at a
slow walk. One line of the procession
will be flanked by the Foot Guards and
police, not for protection, but as part
of the ceremony, while sovemgn's
escort of the Household Cavalry, in ad-
dition to a detachment of the Yeomen
of the Guard, will act as a bodyguard.
The state coach will be preceded by
six state carriages occupied by the la
dies and gentlement of the household.
This procession and the return jour
ney from Westminster to Bucking-
ham Palace is for the benefit of the gen.
enl public. The great spectacle is for
the favored ones, who will find them
selves in the Peers Chamber of the
House of Lords. There will gather an
