Three Killed in Clash of Troops
With Navajo Indians.

In a fight between United
States troops and Navajo Indi-
ans in Utah several days ago,
three persons were killed and an
other wounded, all believed to
have been Indians. The news OF
the occurrence was conveyed to
the Indian bureau in a telegram
from Supt. Shelton OF the San
Juan agency.
The army command consisted
of four officers, scventy-four men
and three Indian scouts. The
telegram to the Indian bureau,
which was dated at Ship Rock,
n. NJ, follows:
''The troops have returned
from southern Utah. They ar
rested Bylillie and nine other In
dams. Three others were killed
and one wounded while shooting
at the Indians. The Indians are
quiet and | do not anticipate FUR
Their trouble"

Karatagh Destroyed by Volcanic
Explosion.

A volcanic explosion, not an
earthquake nor mountain slide,
annihilated Karatagh, Russian
Turkestan, and wiped out practi
cally its entire population, &C
cording to advices received by
Berlin newspapers, from towns
on the transcaucasian railway
only 100 miles north of the scene
of the disaster.
The town stood under the
crater of volcano, extinct since
prehistoric times. BY a sudden
revival OF the pentup energy be-
law, the latest version has it, the
mountain was literally split in
half with an explosion like that
OF millions of tons of dynamite.
The city with all its buildings
and inhabitants was blown sky
ward and scattered for miles.
The nature of the catastrophe is
declared to account for the al.
most unprecedented loss of life.
Even the corpses were consum-
ed.
The survivors are reported TO
be onN a few of the inhabitants
of suburbs or outlying hamlets
outside the crater walls. Even
the near villages were over
whelmed by the fall of earth and
rock.
The Berlin reports reached the
TranScaucaSian railway by
means of couriers sent out fol
lowing the one which took the
first news of Karatagh's destruc-
ton.
The survivors did not at first
fully understand the nature of
the catastrphe. but later explo-
SiOnS less violent than the first
made it clear. Though the story
is confused, it appears that the
populace was beginning to re-
over from the terror into which
t was thrown by the earthquake
October p, and to have been re-
turning to the shattered homes
1t the time the eruption occur,
red.
The latest version agrees with
the first that the number of kill
ell approximated 10000 1t is gen.
orally believed that the fig
IRE is somewhat exaggerated.
Though Karatagh's population
| can only be guessed, it is est
mated at Berlin to have been be-
tween $500 and 5000. The kill
ed in neighboring villages, would
probably considerably swell this
| number. Whether other towns

ed is not known.

pENNA. Alters SYSTEM.
Absolute Block System No
Longer in Use.

Commencing at Z a. m. Thurs
day, the Pennsylvania railroad
discarded the absolute block sys-
tenn. Under this system, no two
trains were allowed on the same
block, under any condition. The
green signal, which meant "pro-
coed with care, another train
ahead on same block" had not
been used.
Owing to the great rush in
freight business, trains were
delayed, by passengers and other
freights having to wait until the
block ahead was clear.
Now the green signal is to be
again used with freights; that is
two freights will be allowed on
the same block, the second
freight having instructions to
proceed with care All passenger
and mail trains. however, will be
run under the absolute block sys-
tenn.

Predicts Canadian Ports Will
SurpaSS American.

Robert +. Sutherland, Speaker
OF the Canadian House, in an adj
dress before the Knife and Fork
Club at Kansas City, predicted
that Canada would some day
have the bu.i st ports in all
North America. Mr.. Sutherland
said:
In 1865 Joseph Aspinwall
longed for a fourteen-foot draft
from the upper lakes to tide
water. In 1901 this had become
an accomplished fact. But the
task is not really yet completed.
People now alive may live to
see the minimum depth made
twenty-one feet, and when that
day arrives Montreal and Que
bee, Halifax and St. John, and
perhaps some quiet harbor that
is as yet only dreamed of, will
be the busiest ports of the NORTH.
American continent.
"Of this great highway Can
ada holds the door. 1t is a great
asset, and. more than anything
else, gives Canada dominating
position on the continent. This
will be more manifest in the fut-
IRE than III the past.
New York state is about to
spend S100,000,000 in deepening
the Erie canal to twelve feet.
Even then it will be two feet
shallower than the waterway it
is intended to rival"

Valparaiso Gridiron Men Must
Quit School.

Several students of Valparaiso
university at Valparaiso, Ind,
were expelled because they play
ed football on W ednesday at
Hammond, Ind. in violation of
the rules of tie school.
Four years ago, as a result OF
the agitation against football, fol-
lowing the killing or manning
for life of many college students,
the Valparaiso university decid-
ed to permit no more regular
football at the institution. The
students were permitted to kick
the bali around the campus and
to practice. but were allowed to
play no games with outside
teams.
The present season, however,
some of the students OF the uni
versity organized a regular elev-
EN-. They did not practice nor
did they play at the university,
but PLAYED and practiced in town
and called themselves the Val
paraiso team, giving out the inn
preston. to the university au-
thorities at least, that they con-
sidered themselves a town team
and in nowiSe connected with the
school. The faculty did not
fancy this arrangement, but took
no action until Wednesday, when
the Valparaiso boys went to
Hammond and played the Ham
mond high school. The Valpa-
raiso team won the game by a
score of 10 to 6.
1--WE are supposed to be town
team from Valparaiso, the play
ers said in Hammond, but OF
course every one knows we are
from the college"
So the visiting team was adj
vertised as the Valparaiso uni
versity team and made a great
impression on the Hammond
girls and went back to the uni
verSitv we'll pleased with itself
until the faculty called the mem
bers before it for an investiga-
ton.
Several OF the ringleaders oil

from the school" said Vice Pres
ident O. P. Kinsey 81 the univer-
sity in the afternoon. 1T was
necessary to maintain discipline
They knew the rules and have
no one to blame but themselves
They were reprimanded for play
ing at Culver recently. Their
claim to being a town team was
simply a subterfuge, as all are

letic sports and is willing to en-
courage them. but draws the line

Must Ride or Quit.

The Presidents order testing
the horsemanship of officers of
the United States Army, a SUBJ
ject for levity by the general
public, has become stern reality
to officers. Some of the army s
very best material, men whose
efficiency in their several details
is unquestioned. many of whom
it will be difficult to replace, are
slated for retirement because
their work of years has taken
them out of the saddle and they
have been found physically dis
qualified for rough riding.
Word has been received only
from the first group of officers
who took the trial ride. OF some
thing like $50 officers, 10 or Is
per cent are expected to be or
dered before retiring boards at an
early date. If the President adj
heres to his order they will be
retired. In all, about 700 col
onels, lieutenant colonies and
majors must take the ride. Ii
the same percentage of disquali-
fcations are recorded seventy or
seventy-fye OF the army's most
experienced officers will be rele-
gated to a field of uselessness.
A list of the officers who failed
to make good in the riding test
includes Col. James Nj. Marshall,
quartermaster's department in
Ouartermaster Government De
pot. Jeffersonville, Ind.
An order was issued by the
War Department Thursday re-
quiring twelve of the officers
who failed in the test to appear
before a retiring board at the
Washington Barracks on Nov.
|12.
This retiring board, unlike the
ordinary board, is not to inquire
into the physical fitness of the
officers who appear before it for
any and all kinds of military du-
les. 1t will be instructed, how
ever. to consider and report upon
the ability of the officers to dis
charge the duties upon which
they at present are engaged.
