CAN'T TOUCH HAMS.
Federal Government Is Excluded
From Any Action.

Washington, Aug. H.-No official report
thus far has been received by the war
department of the shooting of William f.
Annis. by Captain Hams. In the view of
the law officers department nothing can
now be done respecting Captain Hams
by the military authorities as he is under
charges by the civil authorities of New
York. In time of peace he could not be
tried for a capital offense by the mill
tary authorities. although he might be
court martialed for manslaughter.
If. in any circumstances, Captain Hams
should be admitted to bail by the civil
authorities he would become subject tn
the military authorities and might be ar
rested and tried by court martial for con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man or for conduct prejudicial to mill
tary discipline. his status in the army will
not be affected By bis Incarceration.

Burned The Tobacco

Brooksville, Ky.-Fifty or more night riders came into town in bug gies and on horseback and before they left l5,OOO pounds of tobacco, belong ing to Robert Stenton, one of the weaIthiest planters in this section, had been burned. The men were heavily armed with shotguns and re- volyers.
 A number of the men went to the local exchange of the Bracken County Telephone Company and kept guard over the operator Miss Holton, so that no word could be sent for assistance. The men attempted no violance, nor did they destroy the warehouse, but took the tobacco outside and set it on fire. After seeing that it was all de- stroyed, they departed as quietly as they came.

China's Steel Plant

Any one with the usual Occidental conception of the Chinese may have a little difficulty in believing that they make steel in China, using their own ore, their own coal and coke and Chi nese labor exclusively. All this sounds as if the Chinese were really up to date and realized, like other folks, that the present is an age of steel. But on the other hand there is today practically only ono steel plant in the great Chinese Empire.
 This solitary steel plant has been in operation since 1891, but it's output has been increased so little in the fourteen years since that today about the most it can do is to turn out 5O,0O0 tons of steel yearly. When this is compared with the 23,OOO,OOO tons produced in a year in this country some idea may be gained of how far the Chinese really are behind the present age Tn steel making as in other things.

From a Southern Standpoint

Prof. C. AlphonSo Smith of the Uni versity of North Carolina, was speak ing at a public dinner in New York recently and telling of an English grammar that he had prepared. When the work was almost finished, he said, he got a letter from a TenneSSeean who congratulated him on the forth coming book, because he was proud to say that at length there would be an English grammar written from a strictly Southern standpoint.
 That reminded Prof. Smith of the arithmetic written from a strictly Southern standpoint that the wartime youth studied The examples in it used to go something like this: "lf one Confederate soldier can whip four Yankees how many Yankees can five Confederate soldiers whip?"

Charity Wood Yard

At No. 5l6 West Twenty-eighth street, New York, hundreds of men, old and young, men willing to work, but who are unable to obtain employ ment because of the unsettled condi- tion of business, line up outside the yard every morning at o'clock ready to start.
 The buzzing of saws and the swing ing of axes go on merrily until 10 at night without intermiSsion. As soon as one man finishes his work his place is taken by another, who has been waiting anxiously on the line, some times for hours. Owing to the limited space only forty can work at one time, but they all know there are many oth- CTS to come after them and every one works with will. There are no shirkers among them.-The World.

Philadelphia Hint Busy

Philadelphia-With the returning wave of prosperity, the United States mint in this city has again become a golden behive of industry.
 Employes who had been laid off have been receiving notification to resume their posts, and now a full force is at work, aggregating about 55O persons.
 It was stated at the mint that this renewal of activity was due to fresh orders from Washington for immediate coinage. Leading these orders was one for SlO,OOO.OOO in S2O gold coins. This, it was said, would probably be followed by still another order for the same pieces. In addition there will be a heavy coinage of silver and copper.

Revolution in India

London-The British government has realized that crisis is imminent in India which calls for something more than mere punitive expeditions against frontier rebels.
 Cumulative advices from authentic sources show that revolution is ready to break out at a dozen points through out the great Indian empire. Unrest and sedition are ripe, and lawlessness every day becomes more difficult to suppress.
 The latest move made by the British government was the sending of Gen. Sir James Wilcox at the head of pun tive expedition against the zakkak- hels.

Steintz held it for twenty-eight years Lill 1894, and LaSker has been champion ever since. Dr. Lasker at tributes this predominance of the Jew ish genius in chess to the fact that it's rules are based entirely upon those of self-defenSe in the struggle of life, and the Jews are adopts in this art.

An Alaska Trip

The Seattle Magazine gives the fol- lowing description of Alaskan scenery:
 Sailing out of the harbor of Seattle on summers day, bound for Alaska, the tourist gets the thrill of adventure that is delightful, the tingling sense Of wonderful new lands to be discovered. For thousand miles the steamer blows the inland seas and never an hour but some surprising new scene awakens our eXclamationS. No words can describe the grandeur of the noun tains, the stiffness of the seas. Deep fiordS and wide valleys, where no evil dences of human habitation are to be seen, put into the inside passage. The solitude, the beauty, the wealth of for ests and minerals, are so inviting that you will find yourself longing to stop and explore along the green and silent shores"
 Passing on over much of the route the article further states:
 "About half way between Fort Gib- bon and Fairbanks we come to Baker creek and may stop off to visit the Manley Hot Springs; a tropical oasis in the Arctic wilderness; the pride and delight of the Panama valley as a pleasure and health resort. It is the headquarters of a large hydraulic min- ing enterprise, all owned and control led by Mir. Frank Manley, one of the largest operators of the Tanana, who has made it most attractive, fitted it with bath-houses, magnificent hotel, residences and every imaginable con- venience. He has a regular farm, where nothing is wanting. The Man ley resort is the most unique of nor thern attractions"
