sides of a court. and in this court the

ruins of dozens of such buildings may
be seen today amid the dry and rocky

The Cleanlv Flv

A certain spinster in indianapolis is
one of the city's most notable house
wives. No childish fingers ever mar
the brilliance of her windows or play
havoc with bronzes and vases. At the
home of her brother the same exquisite
perfection of house keeping is impos-
sible, and one day the spinster's small
niece returned home after a tea party
at aunty's and in an awed tone said ::

necessary then, just as it is today, for
in that country there is very little rain
and crops can not grow without irriga-

of the streams and up the cliffs at con-

above. BY these paths the heads of
families gathered to the council.

DAVIS SEARCH FOR
 THE MAGNETIC POLE
More Details of the Experiences of the Explorers of the Shackelton Expedition.

Christi Church, N z. March 25- Lieutenant Shackeiton's ship Nimrod has returned here with the exploring party aboard, all of whom are well. Members of the expedition give some details in addition to those already published. Prof. Davis and his com paniOns recount that when they start ed on the journey to the magnetic pole the weather was so hot that they had to pull their sledges in singlets There was half a ton of provisions on each sledge. After a compara- lively easy 25O mile journey along the sea of ice, they had a hard and almost hopeless climb to the island plateau. They carried their lives in their hands. fighting their way inch by inch. They suffered great priva- tions on the return journey. When rescued by the Nimrod they were a party of gaunt skeletons. They nearly died of starvation before find ing one of the depots and were al- party been two days later in reaching the Nimrod she would have been frozen in for another season.
 They declare that any future eX- plorer attempting to reach the south pole must be provided with a much larger supply of food because there is no doubt the south pole is situated on a high plateau. and that the coldest and stOrmiest weather in the world prevails there. there being 70 degrees of frost under the very mildest of conditions.

THE PRINCES REASON.

Belgrade, March 25.-The cabinet council tonight denied that the premier was competent to receive a direct com- munication from Crown Prince George. who is subject only to his fathers au- thority. The premier. therefore. will return the letter which the crown prince sent to him, renouncing his right to succession to the Servian throne. and will advise the prince to address himself to the king. Recently a bitter press campaign has been waged against the crown prince. He was accused of having been implicated in the death of his servant, named Kokalkovitz. and it Is now learned the prince took this action because of the threatened inter- pellation in the national assembly on this subject.

PRESIDENTIAL BIG STICKS

Washington, March 25.--A voluntary admission by Vreeland. of New York, that he was to some extent responsible for retaining in the Payne tariff bill the countervailing duty on oil, was the climax of today's tariff discussion in the house. Nreeland had sat for some time and heard various insinuations that that duty, which some have char acterized as joker was to be levied solely in the interest of the Standard Oil company. This he denied. and ex- plained that his action was in response to requests from thousands of oil pro- ducing men and in behalf of 40O,000 men engaged in the same business.
 Numerous speeches were made. The democratic arguments were for a tar if for revenue only, while republicans attacked such schedules as those on wool. woOdpulp and print paper and crude petroleum. At SOS D. m. the house adjourned until tomorrow. when, according to a general understanding. decision will be reached to meet thereafter at 10 o'clock and remain In session until D. m., when a recess will be taken until D. m.

Paris, March 25.-It is understood in official circles that the Balkan sit uation, on account of the irreconcil- able attitude of Austria Hungary has reached most acute stage, and that a few days will decide between peace or war.

After this, if Servia refuses to make complete surrender. officials here think Austria Hungary will dis patch an army across the frontier.

 When night fell, the excitement in creased and negroes roamed through the woods firing guns and yelling. The fight continued a series of duels throughout the night. The negroes barricaded themselves in their huts and could not be disiodged. At day break firing ceased, and neither party made another move until 10 o'clock when the deputies renewed their at tack. About 300 shots were fired in the last encounter. when two negroes were killed and Deputy Sheriff Bow Ter was injured. At the first on- slaught, the negroes were dislodged and fled.

CROWN PRINCE ADVOCATES.

London, March 25.-fThe Balkan dif- ficulty has assumed a somewhat new aspect because of the sensational news of the abdication of the Servian crown prince. The prince hitherto has been considered the leader of the war party at Belgrade and his firebrand speeches have done much to influence the feel ings of the Servians. Many here and at Vienna believe a political move un- derlies his renunciation. Whether this is the case. it is certain the removal of the crown prince from the scene is a step making for peace. Advices to- night are of distinctly hopeful char acter.

TOBACCO MAGNATE'S WIFE
She Was Found Dead In the Bath Room a Few Hours After Having At tended a Function In Honor of Lady Paget.

Washington, March e5.-weary of the gay whirl of society and face to face. as she believed. with years of physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre I.oriI- lard Jr., aged 49. wife of the tobacco magnate committed suicide by as phyxIation at her home near the fashionable Dupont circle in this city today. Her tragic death has shocked the social circles of the capital as nothing else has in years.
 Tonight the members of the Loril- lard family, famous for its wealth. are gathering to mourn over the un- expected blow. The death was made more dramatic by occurring only a few hours after MT. and Mrs Loril- lard had been the guests of Mrs Townsend on Massachusetts avenue at a dinner given in honor of Lady Paget.
 The butler in the LOrillard resi- dence detected an ordor of gas this morning. The gas was traced to Mrs Lorillard's apartments. The butler was mortified on behoIding the body of the mistress of the house stretched lifeless on the floor of her bath room. The alarm brought MT. LOrillard from his apartment. The servant was dis patched for doctor. while Mir LOT illard attempted to revive his wife by artificial respiration. Two physi- clans vainly used every scientific method to restore life. Mrs. Lorillard left a note which the coroner has seen but which LOrillard declined to make public.
