a Nubian lion. 1t would be the irony
of fate, but that is what nearly hap
pened to me some years ago. With
perils innumerable behind US the two
white men OF the party, one a goldseeker.
the other a pure adventurer OF the type
of tanner, nearly came to an end.
We frequently left the river and nav
igable tributaries which we were work
ing out slowly to explore the ravines for
high bars, never taking with us more
than four bearers. though at times we
were absent from the main party outfit
for a fortnight. knowing 1t was entirely
safe in the care OF thin cross-eyed
Arabian ex-chasseur who was born
voyageur with a tinge of Napoleon and
the devil and Uncle Tom In him. he was
rue as salt Arabian and the blood
brother Senegal negro are two types OF
dark-skinned men with whom I would as
soon face danger and difnculty as Win
any white men that live.
One night we were about to make camp
and girls bearing water jars and they
told US Of village mile farther on.
Before we reached the village we were
begged US to make a stay with them as
they were seriously troubled with lions.
Two OF the chiefs horses and two Of his
wives had been killed among the losses
which the village had suffered and the
three muskets In his army were Of no
avail. especially as none of the officers
in command could be induced to get near
enough to the bold beasts to risk a shot.
The Nubian lion is different beast
from his South African and Asian
brother. He is taller, gaunter, with
black In his name and a certain philo-
sophical calm about his desperate deeds.
There is nothing throaty about his roar
and IT is pure rumbling thunder. He
always reminds me of Kiplings "bluish
silent beast that came around a corner
and fell to work.
About the second hour Of darkness the
cattle in the village became very rest
less. The wind was from the south, and
as the half full moon was so bright that
any skulking animal near the village
would have been noticed, Dayton and 1
agreed that the lion was in a little koppe
of rocks about a half mile up the winu.
We had not had time before dark to ex-
anime any of the old spoOr. and, knowing
merely that there was at least a lioness
with cubs among the lot. we set out in
stead Of waiting until they approached
the stream. Drayton carried a special
$3.50 Winchester and l a Parker ten
gauge, which I had loaded with special
shells of dense powder and huckshot
set In wax. This is trick learned
shooting grizzlies. The effectiveness at
short range and the certainty In the
darkness are very desirable With an
absolutely reliable arm and q carefully
prepared shell one is comparatively safe.
When within fifty yards Of the koppe
a splendid animal form rose out Of the
rocks and stood facing u.s. his fore paws
on a huge boulder We were hidden by

FED ON WILCATs.
Shortage of Beasts Sought by Chinese
Feudists to Make Them Ferocious.

San Francisco, Nov. 18.-Wild cat
meat is at a premium in the Chinese
quarter of this city as result of the
strife between the zee family and the
On Yick tong. which has brought about
six murders in or near San Francisco
since the first of November
There is a superstitious belief among
the Chinese that if their warriors are
fed on the flesh of wild cats they will
assimilate the ferocity Of the beasts
and their fighting efficiency will be
much improved The butchers of the
quarter are driving thriving trade in
wild cat meat among the two clans
now at war.
There has been no relaxation Of the
vigilance Of the police of the China
town squad. The detectives who are
mingling with the Chinese every day
say that more killings are certain to
come before the feud dies out. Every
prominent Chinese connected even re-
motely either with the On Yicks or the
Yee family is surrounded by body
guard of white men whenever he ap-
pears on the streets, as it is known
that prices have been set on the heads
of many by the warning factions. The
hair of one doomed man is said to be
turning whittier daily.
To the casual observer, the Chinese
quarter looks as peaceful as though
tong wars were a thing unknown. The
inhabitants shuttle about without ane'
sign of nerve strain or fear on thei
impressive faces. The only unusual
sights are displays made by hardware
spicuous places in their windows, and
the wild cats gathered from all over
the state, are exhibited at every butch
err shop.

HE SAYS 1T MUST STOP
Gompers' Labor Federations Must
Cease Harborning Seceders.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 1s.-Organiza-
tons affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor must cease harbor-
ing seeding unions of electrical
workers.
President Gompers announced this
today in the federation convention after
the question had been raised by Dele
gate Hayes of Cleveland.
Mr.. Hayes said state declarations in
West Virginia, Utah, Montana, Okla
homa, Washington. New Jersey and
Nebraska were protecting seeding fac
tions of the electrical workers, and he
wanted to know If their charters
would be revoked. President Gompers
replied when formal complaint was
received that the offending organiza-
tons would be advised that their
course must be changed.
The convention devoted the greater
part of the session to discussing vari-
Gus jurisdictiona1 disputes reported by
The committee on adjustment.

ers and the Brotherhood of Railway
Carmen, the committee recommended

SOCIALIST IN CONGRESS
Eugene v. Debs Says There VIII Be at
Least One Next Time.

THE Socialist party is the greatest
party on earth" said Eugene v. Debs,
the orator of the Socialistic party, at
the Auditorium last night. TT num-
are keeping step with the coming
emancipation. You can no more pre-
vent it than you can prevent the sun
rising tomorrow.
tinued the speaker. 1T is just the next
step in the evolution of society. You
can't check it. It is going on in spite
of you. may say confidently that we
are after the earth. Do you know that
most of the brilliant magazine writer's
our universities are either pronounced
advocates of socialism or else they are
in sympathy with the idea yet keeping
their beliefs to themselves. Next year
we will witness the election of the first
Socialist to congress.
1.-The capitalist desires no change. No
ruling class has ever produced d
change. The workers must work at a
competitive wage as conditions stand.
The more men there are for the work
the less the wage. When a factory
owner makes all he can out of any in
dustry he closes down without consult
ing the workers 1t is always only a
question of time before we have over
needs and then the needs of the rest
of the world. Finally the industry be-
comes paralysed and thousands of peo-
pie are out of work.
1.-THE Socialistie party is the only
party that seeks to reach and educate
the great mass of people. The capital
lists do not want you to be more intel
ligent. AS 1 have said before. they re-
gard you as an inferior class"
In referring to the sentence imposed
recently upon Fred B. Warren. Aditor
| of the Appeal to Reason, Mr.. Debs said:
1.-The courts of the United States are
controlled by the CAPITALISTS. The
judges and justices of our federal
benches are placed in those Positions
because it is known in advance tina.
| they are subservient to the capitalistic
party. They are a part of the great
machine which is opposing the people.
| Fred Warren is a great hero and your
children will some day erect monu-
ments in his honor. When he went : :,
| jail he went with his head erect, and if
| it becomes necessary he will face the
I gallows.''
In closing the speaker clothed in
f1owery language the conditions whict,
would. in his opinion, exist if socialism
but held sway. asserting that there
would be no war, no disease, no crime.

NELSON TO FIGHT WEIGH.
Practically Certain That the Light

New York, Nov. 18.-Battling Nelson

pionship of the world Welsh, after de-
cisively whipping Johnny Summers, in
London, firmly established his right TO
a fight with Nelson. whom he has been
challenging for about two years. Nell
son is now quoted as saying that he
will take Welsh on and that as soon as
the Englishman arrives here next
month, match can be arranged.
Nelson adds that he will insist on the
fight going at least As rounds, which
means that California will probably get
the match Welsh, who will sail from
England about December 10, is quoted
as saying that as soon as he arrives he
will post a $1,000 forfeit to bind tho
match with Nelson and will agree to
any fair terms.

WAR ON CHRISTIANITY
Is What Pope Plus Calls Frances
Fight Against the Church.

Rome, Nov. 1s.-Pope Plus, in an
address to the French pilgrims whom
he received today, declared that France
was making war against the church
with an aim of undermining the basis
Of Christianity. Catholicism, he de-
dared. was suffering persecution by
vhe French government under the pre-
text of the separation of state and
church
This was proved, he said, by the ex-
pulsfon of the orders, the trials and
condemnations inflicted upon Cardinal
.Andrieu and other bishops and the
threatened laws which would extend
official protection to religious teachers
and bring about a state monopoly of
The schools. France, which would
make the state the arbiter in religious
matters, was at the same time fighting
the French bishops who were faithful
to the pontiff. These bishops were not
allowed, the pope said, to enjoy the
liberty granted by French laws to all
free citizens, but on the contrary were
snsulted, tried and condemned for the
sole reason that they were courageous
ly fulfilling their apostolic duty.
/, All this, the pope said, instead of
depressing, must animate Catholics to
defend their religious rights. He con-
cluded by urging the faithful to cling
to the episcopacy.
The papal words are accepted here as
confirmation of the opinion that the
vatican believes the struggle organized
by the French government on the
school question is intended to be de-
cisive battle for the complete efface-
ment Of Christianity as a factor in the
rearing of children, or in other words
the suppression of Christianity in the
France of tomorrow.
1t is asserted that the vatican is
ready to fight on two questions. name
", the denial of legal acknowledgment
Of the Catholic hierarchy and scholas-
tic instruction.
