SAN BERNARDINO, May 5.-The
Highland colony is stirred to its depths
by the discovery that an unknown pipe
line exists between Alder creek and
Plunge creek canyons by which the
owners of the waters from Alder creek
have been losing a large quantity of
water, which has been used to add to
the owners of Plunge creek.
The waters of Alder creek are owned
by the North Fork Water company,
while those of Plunge creek are owned
by the East Highland Orange company,
of which James Edwards OF Redlands
Is manager.
The discovery of the strange condi-
ton was made by Forest Ranger
Easton, who ran onto a six-inch pipe
line running from Alder creek to Plunge
creek.
1t is said that the line has been in
existence for a year and how much
water the North Fork company and
other owners of Alder creek water have
lost is uncertain.
The officers of the East Highland
company refuse to discuss the pipe line.
The people Of these two colonies are
members of the same churches and
same fraternities.
The county convention of the Y. p.
8. @. e. was held in this city at the
Christian church. Speakers from all
parts of the county occupied the entire
day. Among them were Miss Ambrose
of Los Angeles, George b. Highly of
Los Angeles, Hester r. Smith of Long
Beach, State President Brown, Rev. j.
N. Field of Redlands and others.
o. w. Newcomb, a well-known busi-
ness man here, has been at deaths door
for ten days from battle with large
male cat, which he found in his bed
room recently. The animal had at
tackled a litter of kittens in the room
and fought desperately when New
comb attempted to remove 1t. His hands
and arms were bitten and scratched
and swelled to twice their normal size
He is not yet out of danger.

PASADENA, May 5.--Much interest
was shown this afternoon in the in-
formal public reception rendered to Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Phelps-Stokes. So great
was the crowd wishing to greet them
and listen to their promised addresses
that at the last minute the place Of
assemblage was changed from the Y.
M C. A. auditorium to the commodous
Elks' hall.
This was packed to the doors by the
time Mayor Waterhouse introduced Mr..
Phelps-Stokes as the first speaker.
The work being accomplished and
stlll hoped for in New Yorks social
settlement was the subject and the
description of this work was bluntly
eloquent and heard with rapt attention.
The young New York millionaire whose
life has been given over to lettering
the conditions which surround the
Submerged tenth" in the nations
metropolis has unqualified faith in the
ultimate success of the social settle
ment movement. His remarks today
grouped themselves around the state
ment that wherever you find poverty,
sickness, drunkenness and like forms
OF suffering and vice you can trace
them back to the primal cause, which
is greed or sefishness.

He gave many Illustrations of this,
one of which was Of especial interest.
In a certain area In New York It Is
estimated that one death occurs from
consumption every six days, 1t was
decided that IL a commodious park
could be opened In this vicinity this
appalling death rate might sooner or
later be greatly diminished. Efforts
We're made TO open this park, but
money Interests combined against It
and after a fierce struggle the move
ment was defeated.
Mrs. Phelps-Stokes followed her hus-
band and told in graphic fashion Of her
experiences as a part of the class which
the latter day Christian workers seek
TO help TO higher plane.
Rev. j.. Stitt Wilson. who Is scheduled
TO speak In this city several times dur

At late hour the entire vote had

1t is an assured fact, however, that

What little opposition there was to

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-President Roosevelt has had many contests with congress. but there was never one in which he showed the feeling that marks his preparations to combat tho attack in the senate led by Senator Foraker of Ohio regarding the dis charge of the negro troops of the Twen- ty.ffth infantry. The president is willing to meet the challenge of the senate, but he is not willing to bs guided in this matter by the senate or the house of representatives. He would veto any bill that might be passed di- recting him to restore these troops, and If it were passed over his veto he would still ignore the law until there was 8 decision of the supreme court He would not even mind an attempt to i'm. peach him.

 HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 24.-Word was received here from Port Dunerin, . small coast town some sixty miles east of this city. of the destruction by fire of the passenger steamer Strathco. na, owned by the Halifax and Cans0 Steamship company, and bound for Canso.
 That no lives were lost Is due prin. cipally to the heroism of the engineers and nremen, who, like "Jim Bludsoe,' ! made famous by the late John Hay stuck to their posts until the steamer was beached and every one of the 38o passengers landed. In less than an hour after the bleaching of the steamer she was burned to the waters edge
 The boats were not launched, but were made ready for use in case the flames completely enveloped the steam CT before land could be reached.
 The terror stricken passengers wers huddled together in the bow of tho ship, which was headed for Port Duf ferin, the nearest place on the treacher ous coast where the steamer could lind [ harbor.
 While the Strathcona was driven to ward land at top speed the sailors tried to fight back the flames with streams oi water. The draft caused by the steam CTS rapid progress famed the dames Into greater fury, and in short tint the entire after portion of the vesse was on fire.
 Down in the engine room the en glneers and firemen stuck bravely t their posts, although the flames had be gun to surround them. Not until tn, keel of the steamer grated on . reef 1 mile from the entrance of the harbo did they abandon their dangerous posi- tons and rush to the deck. The steam CT had kept her heading until sh' reached the reef of Smiley's point Then the boats were lowered and all O the passengers, together with the thir teen members of the crew, found safet, on shore.

ROMAN SPORT.
War Waged Against Song Bircs of
 the Campagna.

the Campagna.
 A German living in Italy writes to Bernese newspaper giving 8 painful account of the Romans as hunters. You have only to step out side the gates of Rome to see them. he says. There they are on foot, in carriages and in automobiles, bang ing away right and left. Shooting with the Romans Is almost as con- suming a passion as playing lotto.
 But what are these hundreds of people shooting at? The most ener- getic explorer of the Campagna has never seen a wild animal abroad in 1t. There is nothing visible that any adult man of any other nation would dream of shooting at. Why then do men, who ought to be busy, shut up their shops or play hockey from their offices and go forth to shoot with a couple of dogs in leash, double bar relied shotgun under their arm and a belt full of cartridges-some of the more expert carrying besides decoy in the shape of tiny wooden flying machine with headpiece decorated with spangles?
 The writer found it out one day when he saw the son of his boarding house mistress go of one morning thus equipped.
 "There'll be game for supper" she told him, flor my son has gone hunt ing"
 He believed her the first time. After that he was always careful to dine out on such occasions, for the game" rather moved him to tears than to hunger. The one time when | he partook of the feast he had set be- fore him great dishful of tiny song- birds, roasted on skewers over the fire. Many time after that he saw the days "bag" as the son brought it ina couple of dozen little feath- cred things.
 The passion to discharge firearms and kill things seems to affect the whole people. When the supply of birds runs short they bang away at lizards, butterflies. June bugs and living things that they see in the fields with almost equal satisfaction. This passion for killing, the in- censed German points out, has very serious side. Not only does it rob the Italian landscape of much of It's living charm; it also removes the !, natural check to the swarms of mos- quitoes, gnats and other insects which are now known to be the means of comunicating the malarial levers to mankind. What the coun- try needs. he says, is law of the ut most stringency for the protection of all sorts of birds; but he found it impossible to get Roman & P. c A, to take the least interest in the mat. 1 ter, as it considered that It's sphere of influence embraced only domestic animals.

Assa1lant ef Captain Jgaoklln at Fesl
 Rsns stiIl st LaSge.
 FL RENO. Okla, Dec. 24.-No motive has yet been found for the shooting at Fort Reno of Captain Edward A. Macklin. Captain Macklin was sc much improved that the hospital physl- clans said he would recover. The ne gro who shot Macklin Is still at large.
 The days developments served only to add to the mystery of the shooting. Captain Macklin was not allowed to talk. Other officers at the fort were loath to believe that the negro who did tho shooting was one of the discharged soldiers who sought revenge. The tes. timony of Macklin in the Brownsville affair shows that he did not place the blame for 1t upon the members of his company. One motive might be rob bery. Another supposition Is that oi revenge growing out of the death of a mepber of Macklin's company, who fell out of the ranks during . practice marcn lew days ago ana WdB IOun0 next day frozen to death.
 Captain Macklin was not harsh to his men. He has reputation both here and at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, fol kind treatment.
 A hat of the Twenty-nfth infantry found at the rear of Captain Mack lin's porch undoubtedly was dropped by the negro. This is by no means conclusive that the man who sho Macklin was soldier. These hat can be found in the ash heaps of tht garrison and in tho secondhand storel at Fl Reno.
 Many men find . certain pleasure ii wearing discarded army paraphernalia There is still difference of opinion ai to the clothing worn by the negro Captain Macklin is unable to tell wha the man wore. A woman servant hal an idea that his garments were the col or of the army fatigue uniform.
