FALL UPON SLEEPING MEN AND
HACK THEM TO PIECES.
Survivors Manage to Work the Boat

CALCUTTA June 22.-One Of the worst
cases of piracy that have ever occurred in
the vicinity of Singapore took place few
hours sail from the harbor limits recent

crew of fourteen Hylams. and also had
four passengers on board. When soma
where in the neighborhood of Pulau tbn
the breeze fell. The anchor was dropped
near fishing stake, about three miles
from shore. Unconscious of danger. the
Hylams partook Of their evening meal
and then slumbered peacefully. About ]
d m. two boats crept toward the junk from
the shore. The smaller boat contained
four men, and these were the first on deck.
The second boat followed with ten men.
They climbed noise!essly on board the
junk and then suddenly tell on the sleep
ing Hyiams with axes, parangs. krises
and knives. The pirates were Chinese
and Malays, and they hacked savagely at
every one they cou.d ses The snrieks
and screams rent the peaceful morning
air.
Hylams Taken by Surprise.
The Hylams were taken by surprise
and were struck down before they could
attempt any resistance. Five men were
hacked to death, two, terribly wounded,
were thrown into the sea, and four were

Seven men who were i'm the hold hid

pirates left hurriedly on hearing horn
blown on shore. A breeze sprang up
later and those who had escaped mas
sacre hoisted the sail and put back to
Singapore. 1t only when. on the
port being reached the matches were
taken off that the terrible nature of the
crime was seen. In the square of the
hatch on top of the sand ballast and some
mats lay four terribly mutilated corpses.
dying man lay across two of the bodies.
In small cockpit aft another body was
found. 1t was identified by the sur
vivors as the taikong tcaptainD. In the

MAY HAVE MORE LIGHT
Possibility That Electric Current May
BE Brought From Elberton
To Pullman

There Is a probability that electric
current may be brought from Ell
! berton to Pullman. G. n. Hinchliff,
owner of the flour mill at Elberton
has just completed a new system for
| supplying power to the mill and
! hopes to be able to not only run the
mill but to generate electricity for
sale and lie is looking toward Publ
man for market for his product.
| If he was assured that the Spokane
| 4 Inland Empire Electric Railroad
will not build to Pullman in the
next few years he would probably ar
range to build a transmission line
| to Pullman from Elberton.
BY moving his -four mill from its
former site to a new site near the
o. r. & ~ depot, Mr. Hinchliff gets
an additional fall of "a feet in half
mile. That will give sufficient
power to run the mill during the
lowest stage of water and have some
power to sell. 1t was suggested to
Mr.. Hinchliff that he put in an cleo
trio nght plant and he is now get
| ting figures on the cost of such a
pant and a transmission line to car
ry the power to some larger town
for sale.
Mr.. Hinchliff is now working out
plan for carrying the electricity
to a larger point and putting in a
cold storage plant and creamery
and also a wholesale and retail mar
ket for his flour. He was seen by
the editor of The Herald and said:
Il nave been thinking seriously
of Pullman. | believe it is destined
to be d big town and would be an
ideal location for such plant as
have in mind. ! can supply electric
power enough to supply an ice plant.
1t would be my idea to have cleo
trio delivery wagons and charge
them from my own electric system.
Ice cream, butter, and all kinds of
| piOuutlS WOulu Nc htDJ lOl Sdlt anu
| think that Pullman would be the
best location in this country
Mr. Hincliff is a pioneer of eastern
Washington and a shrewd business
man. He was county commissioner
for four years and made one of the
best commissioners this county ever
had. He hopes to have his mill in
readiness for the new wheat crop
before September /, and after he
gets it to running will probably
visit Pullman and look over the sit
uation here. His plan as outlined
to the writer seems entirely feasible
and such an enterprise as he plans
would be a valuable addition to any
town and Pullman would 90 well TO
encourage Mr.. Hinchliff If he should
decide to perfect the plans he is now
considering.

FISHING PARTY RETURNS
hiossner Boys, Floyd Finley and
John Cannon Return From
Idaho Mountains

Inc Pullman boys who went fish
ing on the Locksaw river. 26 mtIes
east OF Kooskia, Idaho, two weeks
ago. nave returned. They caught n
number of fine trout and had a gen
eral good time. Reaching Kooskia
on the train they secured a team
and drove IL miles to the end of the
wagon road, then, taking their packs
on their backs, they walked, or
climbed, IA miles farther, encamping
In fine place for rest and recrea-
ton and where solitude was the most
prominent feature. There was a fair
supply of large game, but the boys
decided to leave it there. They saw
a big back bear but did not kill it.
The bear did not want to be killed.
There is plenty of big game in
there, but we did not get any of it.
We decided to leave all of it there
and cOrtented ourselves with fish, "
said JOAN Cannon. There is said
to be little danger in catching trout
while bears and other big animals
sometimes resent being killed or
captured. The boys had plenty of
ash and got tired of them as a diet
and went back to that old reliable
standby, bacon.
They report having met large
number of surveyors who are en-
ployed by the Northern Pacific and
oregon Railroad & Navigation COM
)anies and are surveying a route for
4 new road from Missoula to the
Clearwater country. There is bitter
rivalry between the forces of the
TWO roads and all strangers visiting
he camps are regarded as spies of
he other road, and no information
is given them. A number of gradu-
ties of the civil engineering depart
nents of Wash ington State College
md the University of Idaho, are en-
ployed AS surveyors by both roads.

RUSH FOR LAND ST|LLON
'aiouse Country Sending Its Share
OF People To Register For
Land Drawing

The rush for registration for tho
land drawings continues with nm
.abated interest and fury. Every
train passing through Pullman Is
loaded and the rush at all three of
the registration points Is so much
greater than was expected that no
taries have run out of blanks. I'm IN
Monday night of this week the grand
total of registrations for the three
reservations was 1864. and IT is
believed that it will pass the Don
GOO mark, although only about
week remains in which to register.
Pullman is sending a large delega-
ton 1t is estimated that 800 per-
sons from Pullman and immediate
vicinity will have registered before
the close of registration, on August
,. That the chance of winning is
very slight is shown by a compari-
son OF the number of pieces of land
to be drawn. II is estimated thar
the chances of drawing "A number
thAt VIII entitle the holder 20 any
land at all, is about one in twenty or
one in thirty, depending upon The
total registration. The chances of
drawing good piece of land is only
about one in fifty, or even less.
W. A Moss registered ut all three
places. Spokane, Occur d'Alene and
Missoula. That Mr.. Moss does not
think he stands much of show of
getting any land was shown Tuesday
when he made a bet with e l.. Me-
Allistcr thet no on from Pullman
or within one mile of the town. wonld
get any land, Five dollars was the
amount of the bet and both men
feel confident o. winning. If Mr..
McAllister does not win there will be
great many disappointed people in
Pullman and vicinity.
Mr.. Moss says the round trip cost
him just $45, which is probably
about an average of the cost of 90
ing from any point in the Palousc
country to register for the three re-
serVatons. When one stops to es-
innate the vast amount of money
paid by the hundreds of thousands
of persons who have come from all
parts of the United States and even
from foreign countries to take a
chance on drawing a piece of land,
it is easily conceivable that the state
ment made that the money spent for
railroad fare and other expenses
would be more than the total value
Of all of the land to be drawn. That
the drawing is a great boon to the
railroads and to the hotels and no
taries cannot be denied and II will
probably be a benefit to the entire
northwest, for it will draw people
from all parts to this section and
many of the disappointed people will
buy land and locate in the north
west.

majority. And why2 Because
they promised the people certain
definite laws. Notably the Pri-
mary election law, the bank guar

the railroad commission law, ini-
,iativc and referendum, etc.
These laws are already being pre-
pared and we feel sure they will
be passed early in the coming
session. Two years ago the re-
publicaus had a large majority in

was to elect Guggcnhcim to the

TARIFF ON THE GRIDIRON.

havoc with the Dingley tariff than
the most drastic free trader could
have done. The canny Scot
knows the iron business down to
the ground, and he seems inclined
to give the country the benefit of
his knowledge. He laughs at the
notion that the small steel man
ufacturer in this country would
be ruined by free trade, rightly
pointing out that there are no
small manufacturers; and that if
there were they would be men
who had already run the gauntlet
of the competition of the steel
trust and might be considered i'm
mune. He punctures eflectually
the notion that the difference in
wages here and in Europe is
catse for protection. The labor
cost OF making steele" he de
clared before the congressional
committee, "is lower in America
than anywhere else on earth.
And he tells the truth. He
tells a truth which every half-in-
formed man on that congressional
committee knows is a truth. So
long as it was stated by demo-
Gratis it might be waved aside.
Now, it is stated by a man who
admits that he has made millions
of dollars out of the tariff on
steel; who is reckoned one of the
best informed men on the steel
manufacture there IS in the world,
and who, speaking with that
knowledge and tina; experience,
declares that the tariff on steel is
no longer needed, and that it has
become a useless burden to the
consumer We shall be much in
terested in seeing how DalzelI is
going to get around that bit OF
frank testimony. We should also
like to know what use will be
made Of the frank statement OF
the head Of the harvester trust,
that the manufacture OF agricul-
tural machinery in this country
needs no protection. The pros
pcct of relief from tariff burdens
by the coming congress we fear
is small But the prospect of
great fun for the democrats and
enlightenment for the people was
never better.
When Hill was building his
Great Northern railroad he
bought American rails at South
Chicago. The Canadian Pacific,
a parallel and competing line, 100
miles to the north, was under way
at the same time. The Canadian
Pacific bought American rails
from the American factories in
South Chicago from s. to 81 per
ton cheaper than exactly the
same rails from the same factory
we're sold tc the American road.
Cauaia was open to the world S
markets. America was surrounded
by tariff wall And they call
that protection to American in
dustry
Well. heres hoping Andy goes
right on testifying, that the har
vester trust continues to tell the
truth, and that the democrats on
those committees manage to
keep the records clear. If this
thing keeps up long enough we
shall see an end to Dingleyism.
And blessed indeed would be
that day.-Denvcr News.
