now have two members of the up

OF congress.
And 1t will scarcely be denied
that we need them. The new state
has much legislation to ask at the

session We particularly need the
removal of restrictions upon the
alienation OF titles to the land OF
Indian citizens. other than full

we can scarcely hope to witness
the extended development Of the
agricultural resources Of the eastern
half of the state or equalize the
burden of taxation. In point Of i'm.

this question will remain upper

only legislation needed which is
pressing. The settlers upon the

Lost Race ef Indo-China.

singapore Free Fress.
 The great mystery about Indo- China and one which must ever be insoluble Is the story of the lost race and the vanished civilization of that strange country.
 The mighty walks of Angor- Wat. rising in the midst of sparsely settled jungles. remain as the memorial of a great empire which has utterly disap- peared and Is altogether lost to history. No one will ever know who planned this gigantic temple or what tyrant bounded on his myriads of people to build up those immense blocks of stone and cover them with the most elaborate of sculptures. Angor-Wat was one of the most astonishing monuments in the world, and this forgotten temple was built so as to endure as long as the earth itself were 1t not for the irresistibly destructive effect of plant life on the strongest walls that man can raise.
 Only a highly civilized and very wealthy people could have erected Angor- Wat. a very different race from the Annamite of modern days. The whole nation has disappeared as utterly as the busy myriads who once popu- lated the wastes and solitudes of Mem phis.

TO MAKE TEST.
Government to Inspect Deviled Ham
 Held up in Buenes Ayres.

Government to Inspect Deviled Ham
 Held up in Buenes Ayres.
 Washington. August 2-The bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture has ordered from Buenos Ayres Argentine Republic, samples of the shipments of deviled ham held at that port on account of the presence of borax in the product The depart ment already has inspected samples of like products in this country from which the Buenos Ayres consignment was taken. These show only one- thousandth of one per cent Of borax and officials believe that the deviled ham held up in Argentine is of the sanre quality.
 This amount of borax never has been taken into consideration by the United States inspectors and in fact the salt used in the product very frequently would contain that amount or moro borax and only the most delicate apparatus would detect this slight trace. pr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry believes that tho Argentine authorities have ordered the consignment held up not because thera is dangerous amount of borax present but because of desire to ex- clude shipments of deviled ham where's ever possible.
 Argentine of late has begun rai.ins hogs extensively and is now in the business of manufacturing of a cons siderable amount of the various pro- ducts of pork which have had a large sale in this country. Until the samples have been received from Argentine no action will be taken by this government
 It is stated at the Department of Agriculture that deviled ham similar to that objected to in Argentine has been received without protest in x dozen other countries.

would carry all States that Colonel Bryan would carry and some which the Colonel could not win to his support. |"
 Such . scheme, which we'll becomes . political nondescript and highwayman. can have only a measure of success when attempted on the great scale pro- posed. But that measure of success can be sufficiently great te do vast and perhaps irreparable injury for the time being to tho already harried and dis tracted Democracy. The grand old party of Thomas Jefferson was mili- tant and formidable as long as 1t faced only foes from without, but now that 1t bleeds continually from the knife thrusts of foes within its strength wanes fast. Unless . leader shall arise who can rouse and unite its hosts, and properly unmask its secret enemies who pose as friends, disintegratiop is inevitable.

CHINESE SHOOTINGS
HIP SING TONGs OUT IN BOs.
 TON.
Fire volley Into Half . Hundred Chi namen in Narrow Alley, Killing Three and Seriously
 WoundlnG Seven.

Boston, Aug. 2.-Burning with ha- tired for their deadly enemies belong ing to the rival On Long Tong Society. a band of New York Chinese, number ing a dozen or more, and said to be members of the notorious Hip Sing Tong organization, entered a narrow alley in Chinatown tonight and. draw ing revolvers, opened fire upon half hundred Chinamen. killing three and injuring seven. At the first volley. the Chinamen rushed for their quarters, stumbling over one another in their haste to reach shelter. The Hip Sing Tong men chased their victims and shot them down as they rushed up stairs or into side rooms. Then cast ing away their guns. the strange vis- ttors ran away from the Chinese quar- ters, most of them escaping the police The dead:
 Wong Sujung, aged 50, restaurant proprietor of Chinatown; Chin Let, aged 35, laundryman. South End; Chin Mon Quin, aged 48, merchant, China town.
 Of the injured. Lee Kai. aged 24 and Hang Gu. aged 2s. and Jeng Con prob ably were fatally injured, The o.nsts s, are in a serious condition fmmedl- ately after the shooting. one Of the Hip Sing Tong men from New York was captured by a policeman as nc was running away. The man gave the name of Nim Sing. He was dress ed in American clothes. Later m or fcer at the South Station took into custody Hong Woon. aged 34, or New York, whose hands were powaer stained. Both prisoners are charged with manslaughter. The police placed under arrest on suspicion several oth- er Chinese who are strangers in the local colony. The shooting occurred in Oxford Place, in the center or Chl- natown, where about fifty Chlndmen were smoking in the open air. fuiy fifty shots were fired. That the vlslt- ors shot with careful accuracy was apparent from the fact that each or the three killed was shot through the heart
 The trouble of tonight has been an ticipated for more than week. Aoout ten days ago nearly dozen Chinameh' who were all strangers, came 10 bos- ton and rented rooms near Chlnato"h. The police were notified of the fact py Boston Chinamen, who feared trouoie. Snecial details of police were at once niaced on duty in the Chinese quarter, and tha strangers suddenly dNap- peared. ,o
 The trouble Is attributed by some to .he shooting which occurred in Phiid- deIphia recently. for which, 1t IS saiu' Boston Chinamen were pareiaily blamed. It is thought the Chiname who did the shooting tonight came from New York to punish the Cn Lohs Tonrs for the Philadelphia outbreak.

 "I'll have to introduce you as a re- porter" he said. she's not like the average charity patient in a clinic. you know. It's evident that she is gently bred and she might resent De- ing on exhibition.
 Dick nodded, but when the door opened to admit the patient he scan dalized the physician by Jumping up and clasping the girl in his arms.
 To Dalton's further amazement the patient did not appear to resent the caress, and 1t was mt until he stood beside them that they appeared to re- member his presence. Then they sep arated, the girl biushing a rosy red.

 Y thought did" she answered. in- nocently. What q lot of trouble I must have made. Was mother much worried, Dick?"
 Dick smiled grimly. She was more angry thanworried: angry that the best match of the season from her point of view was stopped.
 She Is very anxious" he admitted. She thought you were runaway. The detectives trailed mo for a couple of days"
 "The idea," she said with a laugh. "and here I was all the time trying to find out who I was"
 Dalton produced stack of press clippings about her case. We were going to make scrap book" he ex- plained. q suppose Miss Carver will want to take them home now"
 "If you can spare them." she said sweetly. I should love to have them. '
 And I'll telegraph your mother" went on the physician. What Is the address? It's funny that you were a friend of Dicks. We were in the same class in college"
 Tt Is odd" agreed Audrey. Dick will wire mother. I suppose I shall have to wait until she comes on."

Ether . Festive Drink i, Russia.

The Family Doctor.
 The habit of ether drinking is ex- tremely prevalent in some parts of Rus sia, as of East Prussia, and all the efforts of the authorities to combat the evil have heretofore been almost fruit less.
 An idea of the extent to which the habit prevails may be gathered from reports given in the Russian newspa- pers of recent accident which oc- cured at a place called Trossno. Ether is drunk by farmers on festive occa- sions. when it appears to be consumed in pailfuls. A farmer celebrating his sons wedding in the fullness of his hospitality got in two pails of ether. During the process of decanting 'he ether into bottles a violent explosion took place, by which six children were killed and one adult was dangerously and fourteen others more or less se- verely injured.

ADMINISTRATION BILLS GO DOWN Sunday Freight Train Measure is Dead. sC0NFISCATl0N BILL" KILLED Proposed Law to Provide Receivers
 for Railroads Tabled. Senator Lusk Leads Fight fer It and Pleads It is Necessary to Enforce Revocation of
 Charters.
scoNFIscATloN BILL" KILLED

The Senate. in a positive policy of conservatism. last night beat by . handsome majority. the Sunday freight train bill and the Lusk bill to take charge of the property of corporations which forfeit their charter fin Ala bama.
 The Sunday freight train bnl was suddenly and unexpectedly beaten. The friends of the measure thought they had enough votes to carry it through, but when 1t came up unexpectedly the Dill was beaten by . vote of 14 to Il.
 There was no discussion of the bill which put it in the power of the Rail- road Commission to prevent trains from being run on Sunday when such members of the Commission. Senator Overton, the author of the bill, spoke briehy in support of 1t saying that the platform called for the passage of an anti-Sunday freight train bill and the bill only carried out the platform.
 Then the Senate with one vote killed the issue for the session.
 The Lusk bill took up a considerable portion of the time of the Senate. It was talked over during the morning : session and 1t came up again at night But when the Senate came to dispose of 1t. 1t did 50 to the tune of IT to on . motion to table the bill. The bill did not muster nearly as many votes as its friends had expected. During the discussion the bill became known as "the Conhscatory Bill" Senator sprasins termed 1t "a shameful piece of legislation"
 Lusk Favors the Bill.
 Senator Lusk delivered two extended speeches in favor Of the measure. He explained that the bill provided . ma chinery for the Governor taking charge of the property of any corporation which might forfeit its license in the State. Upon the fling of a bill In the chancery court establishing the com mission of an act against the laws of the state and punishable by forfeit ure of the charter, the Governor could name . receiver who would take over the property and administer it for the stockholders.
 such law was not without precedent in Alabama, he declared. He based his argument on the decision of Justice where the Capital City Water Works was taken over by the Chancery Court.
 He pictured the railroads as defying the law of the State.
 "What are you going to do about it?' asked Senator Lusk. Are we going to lie down in the road like a 'possum with. our hands tied and let the rail roads run over ue ysst
 Senator Blackmon characterized the bill as one of the most remarkable piecsaaof ls9tslation that had ever beer propdSsd He discussed all the fea- lures of the bill and declared 1t con fiscatory measure
 Was It Personal Remark.
 We must have a higher lay than our own imperious will." said Senator Miller, of Jefferson, in opposing the bill, and the Senate gasped as if some-

A ForgetfuI Canon.
learned

A good story Is told of a learned canon of the Anglican Church in Can ada, who is very thoughtful ana studious man, but very absent minded. One morning he was going from home and had his handbag packed and left in the hall, as he intended to walk to the railway station. After he had left tbe house his daughter came into the hall and saw the bag still there. and said to her mother: "Oh, mother. fath- CT has gone off aid left his bag be- hind. I will run after him with it," Which she did, and when she arrived at tbe station she found the canon walking about with the coal scuttle. which he had taken up in place of his bag.
