AMERICAN NEGRO
ASSAULTED.
Nicaraguan Police and Soldiers
Arrested.

General Davis, colored, was bru-
tally assaulted at Puerto Cortez,
April 27 by Nicalaguan soldiers and
may die.
Commander FulIam of the United
States gunboat Marietta has or
dered the arrest of Nicaraguan Off
GERS and soldiers and if the man dies
they will be tried for murder. Com
mander Fullam has assumed charge.
Davis is not an officer. His Christ
ian name is General. On April 27 :,
Davis, who is negro of Boyce Sta
ton, La AMI fruit inspector for
the Thacker Brothers steamship
line, was near the railroad station at
La Laguna talking with other ne
gro companions, also Americans,
A drunken Nicaraguan soldier,
armed with machete, demanded to
know what they were talking about
Davis answered that it was none of
his business, whereupon the soldier
slashed Davis, who finally took the
weapon from him TIN ew it away and
went to house nearby.
\ companion of the Nicaraguan
ran to a police station and squad
of policemen and Nicaraguan SOL
diers surrounded the house, dragged
Davis out and carried him tow ard
the Cua,te Davis asked the squad
why they did not arrest the Nicara-
guam In reply the party beat him
brutally until he was unconscious.
The soldiers and policemen car
ried him to the Quartet with blood
flowing from his nose, mouth and
ears. Believing that heswas dying,
they carried him back to the spot
where they had knocked him down
and threw him on the ground
Physicians found him bruised and
still unconscious.
Within ten minutes b!ueiackets of
the Marietta, under Ensign Ror-
sach were on the spot
Commander Fullam's orders were
to arrest the chief Of police and the
policemen engaged in the assault,
put them in Mons and send them
aboard ship.
The Nicaraguan officers and men
arrested were delivered by Com
mander Fullam's order TO Gen.
Estrada, who was advised that they
were to be held responsible No
tice was also served on the Hondu-
ran and Nicuraguan authorities
that reparation would be de- manaed
and punishment must be inflicted
on all the perpetrators of the out
rage. Commander Fullam says if
Davis dies the perpetrators will be
tried for murder, presumably by
court and the guilty ones
will be hanged.

house with field glasses and making |
inquiries as to Steunenburg's move
ments.
In the meantime the case had
passed into the hands of the Plnker-
ton detective agency and james
McPal tland, famous for his part In
the Molly Mcguire affair assumed
charge of the inquiry. MOZART
land procured what was said to be
free and full confession from Harry
Orchard, who had been removed
from the Jail at Caldwell to the pen
itentiary in Boise for safe keeping, as
feeling ran high against him at Cald-
we'll. Orchards confession has new
er fully been made public, but it con-
tains an alleged admission of partlc-
ipation in nearly thirty murders and
it is said that in it Orchard charges
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone with
having induced him to commit the
crimes and having paid him an
agreed cash sum for each It is al
legged that Orchards confession has
been amply confirmed, that he will
go upon the stand and will freely
repeat it with the full knowledge
that when his turn comes for trial
he will be convicted and executed.
On FEBRUARY II, 1906, Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone were arrested
in Colorao, and Immediately taken
to Idaho. The arr est was made by
Idaho officers. The governor of
Colorado honored the requisitlon of
the governor of Idaho, but there
was no judicial proceeding in Colo
RADIO, a circumstance that led to
long and bitter contest. The affida-
Wit charging that the men were in
the state of Idaho at the time of the
murder being admittedly false in
fact, though true as compliance with
the letter and spirit of the statute,
according to the officers of the state,
gave rise to widespread discussion
as to the propriety of the action of
two states involved. Then through
out the country went the cry that
the three prisoners had been kid
mapped in defiance of all constitution
al rights. This phase of the quest
ton was later tested by means of
habeas corpus, ard an appeal TO the
United States supre me court, the
result being a victory for the state
of Idaho. There have been vari-
Gus preliminary legal proceedings in
this case in Idaho, and much delay
due to one cause and another. The
most important proceeding has been
change of venue taken recently
from Canyon county to Ada county
on application of the defense, on the
ground of prejudice.
A specific murder is charged and
the confinement of the evidence to
that crime may exclude many fea-
lures of the general conspiracy set
up in the story. The defendants
deny their guilt most positively, and
in turn assert that they are the vic
Tins of a giant conspiracy as daring
in conception and act as the one al
legged against them.

Rochester and Railroad at Odds.

Notwithstanding the reported order
to discontinue last Monday. There
appears tie be question between
the railroad and the town of Rochs-
ester touching the $4,000 bonus
voted some weeks ago. The pay
ment of this money was made con
ditional upon certain pledges to per
manence of service. These the chief
owner of the road, Samuel Williams,
of Boston, is apparently unwilling
to make, and the negotiations still
hang fire.
The road has become almost a ne
cessity to business interests up the
river, and it is safe guess that if
clos cd by its present owners it will
find a way to all early reopening.

A Good Word from Panama.

Leroy Park, European agent for the
isthmian canal commission, replies to
some allegations regarding Spanish la
borers employed on the Panama work,
and incidentally gives interesting in
formation as to conditions generally
in connection with the enterprise. He
states from personal knowledge that
the Spanish laborers are well cared
for, and he cites an official report from
the Spanish consul at Panama show
ing, as result of the consurs investi-
cation, that the quarters of the labor
ers are entirely sanitary, that the men
are content and are sending for their
families and that those who are going
to the isthmus are taking their wives
and children with them, in full conf
dence that they will be safe, happy
and contented. Mr.. Park states that
there are now $4,000 laborers on the
isthmus, and that more will come
from Europe with the beginning of
the dry season. 1t is evident that the
big undertaking is being pushed as
rapidly as is consistent with effective
ness.

New Outlook in Chemistry.

AS is we'll known, the logical process
of inductive reasoning based upon
carefully planned experiment is rela.
lively new manifestation Of the
power of the human intellect. The
philosophers of old imagined, observed
and reasoned, but neglected expert
mentation; the artisans, who alone
came into close contact with realities,
were unable except in the crudest fash
ion to generalize concerning their re-
suits. Because of this separation OF
thought and deed, mans knowledge OF
his environment remained for thou
sands of years in wholly undeyel-
oped state. From this dormant condl-
ton natural science emerged but
slowly, although with steadily increas-
ing pace. Little by little, in spite OF
occasional pauses of inactivity, or ap-
parent forgetfulness, human acquaint-
ance with the fundamental laws of the
universe has grown. Each century
has added something to the total, says
the Harvard Graduates Magazine; and
usually each century has added more
than any century before. What con-
trast such a development presents to
that of sculpture, for example, which
reached nearly if not quite is highest
point of perfection more than 1000
years ago. In chemistry especially has
the acceleration been great; and the
effect of recent growth is so remarka-
BILE that, looking back, one is inclined
to deny the existence of any real sci
ence in chemistry century and half
ago. If the accumulation Of chemical
knowledge is depicted diagrammatical-
ly in relation to the progress of time,
measuring one in the vertical and the
other in horizontal direction, an up
ward-pointing curve with steadily in
creasing inclination is obtained. The
curve stops at the present day; but
unless cataclysm annihilates the
earth's population and its libraries,
this line is bound to be continued.
Whittier will it lead? What further
insight into his own constitution as
well as that of his environment may
man attain? The answer to these
questions is fraught with weighty sig
nificance as regards the future of the
human race.

British RAILWAY
Strike IMPENDS
UNION VOTES TO CALL ONE AND
OUTLOOK IN ISLANDS is
VERY GLOOMY.
lloyd-George Is Active-Some Hope
That Board of Trade President May
Avert the Trouble - Railroads
Blame Socialism.

London, Nov. Notwithstanding
the powerful influences that have been
at work for some time past in the
hope of averting trouble in the Brit
ish railroad world, there seems to be
but little probability of preventing a
strike which will have the most seri-
GUS consequences to the travelling pub
lie and the men and companies in
volved, as we'll as to commercial in
terests generally.
The action taken Friday by the
executive committee of the Amalga-
mated Society of Railway Servants,
in passing a resolution to call gen.
eral strike, leaves little or no hope for
a favorable outcome. This society al
ways has been looked upon as one of
the most conservative of the labor
unions, and its leader, Richard Bell,
M. p, has been noted for his efforts
to prevent strikes and for his utter
ances in favor of the rights of capital
as well as the rights of the working
man. Consequently the resolution is
not taken lightly, and in view of these
declarations and the determined stand
taken by the society since the griev-
ances of the men were first voiced, it
does not seem likely that the men
will withdraw from their present posi-
ton.
Won't Recognize the Union.
While there is a long list of alleged
grievances, the principal one has
turned on recognition of the union,
and this the railroad companies, whose
chief spokesman is Lord Claud Hamil-
ton, are determined not to concede.
The general strike, however, under
the rules of the society and the re-
quirements of the law, cannot take
place for some weeks. In the mean
time there is a remote hope that the eff
forts of David Lloyd-George, who, with
the influence of his high position, as
president of the board of trade, has
been working strenuously to bring
about a settlement, will be successful.
Employers Blame Socialism.
The railroads charge that the pres
ent agitation is due to the growth of
socialism and curiously enough, while
this idea was being voiced by Lord
Claud Hamilton Friday night in a
declaration that socialism was "irre-
ligious and immoral in it's teachings"
Mr.. Lloyd George was averring in
his address that socialism was "a
DOGGY of to-day introduced to brighten
the unwary" and that there was no
danger but a certain advantage in
socialism insomuch as it stirred the
people to think"

TIMBER FOR ONLY 20 YEARS
SUPPLY IN UNITED STATES WILL
THEN BE EXHAUSTED.
Government Forester Pinchot Sounds
Warning Saying Natural Re-
sources Must Be Protected.

Washington, Nov. 5.-'In 20 years
the timber supply in the United States,
on government reserves and private
holdings, at the present rate of cut
ting, will be exhausted, although it is
possible that the growth of that period
might extend the arrival of the famine
another five years."
This announcement was made Mon
day by Clifford Pinchot, the govern
ment forester, who has just returned
from a six months inspection trip, on
which he travelled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning, Mr.. Pin
chot urged that the danger of the stu
alton should not be underestimated.
He said that the United States uses
more timber per capita than any other
country, and that every man, woman
and child would be affected. He de-
cried the policy of discounting the
future of the country by failure to
protect the natural resources, and he
advises everyone who has not already
done so to read President Roosevelt's
speech at Memphis on this general
subject.
About one-fifth of the forest area
of the country is in government re-
serves, but Mr.. Pinchot called atten-
ton to the fact that as privately
owned timber lands are better than
the government reserves, as a gen.
eral rule, the government does not
control one-fifth of the timber supply.
The forest service will ask congress
for more money and more men in or
der to extend the service, and will
push the work of reforesting the de.
nuded timber lands. Mr. Pinchot
says, however, that it is utterly be-
yond the possibility of the service to
meet the situation and prevent serious
trouble. One hope entertained is this
Appalachian forest and an effort will
be made to protect this and promote
the growth there.
President Roosevelt expects to call
a conference in Washington shortly of
governors of states and experts in the
study of natural resources. The con.
ference will be for the purpose of de-
veloping sentiment in favor of the ad-
ministration's policy of looking into
the future resources, such as timber.
coal, oil and gas, and the various min
erals. 1t is believed by administration
officials that when the people realize
that the increase in lumber prices.
which began in 1900 and has contin-
ued rapidly since that time, was based
not on actual shortage of supply but
upon the fact that the owners of pri.
vate tracts of timber land were mere
ly looking into the future, the govern
ment's policy will be Endorsed without
question.
