Southampton, England, April 90
The White Star liner Olympic, which
had been held off Ryde, Isle Of Wight,
since Wednesday by a strike Of her
firemen, today abandoned the sched-
uled trip to New York and returned to
Fort. This course was made necessary
by the desertion of her seamen this
morning, when the line attempted to
replace the striking firemen with nom
union men.
One hundred and twenty-one passen-
gers who were awaiting the Olympic
at Queenstown, have been transferred
to the Baltic, which will leave here to-
day for New York. Fourteen hundred
sacks Of mail which were to have been
forwarded by the Olympic will be held
at Queenstown for the Cunard liner
Lusitania, sailing from Liverpool to-
morrow and due here Sunday, May s.
The Cunarder is likely to reach New
York ahead Of the Baltic and for this
reason the mail will be entrusted to
her.

yond the matter Of inconvenience to

WHAT PUZZLED THE NEWSBOY

1t was a very busy hour on Forty

as things were starting along. after
a complicated blockade, a little news
boy dropped a quarter. and darted
out into the street after it, under the

HEARING Of Ants.

Naturalists generally appear to have
accepted the opinion that ants are not
able to perceive any sounds that are
audible to human cara, but there are
those who controvert this opinion
One investigator conducted careful ex-
periments with four species Of Ameri.
can ants. from which he deduccd the
conclusion that these species, at least,
were able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did It by means of or
gans Of hearing. or through the sense
Of touch being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he was unable to ascertain
This experimenter incllnes tc the opin.
ion that ants do really hear. as some
individuals showed a perception Of the
direction OF the sound, such as that Of
a shrill whistle, and others, which
were not disturbed and violently
shaken in their glass prisons seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
sounds.-Harper's Weekly.

Moroccan Corruption.

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption OF Moorish Off ciaIs and the
degradation of Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequately paid
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings'
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be In store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take Office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to a higher power quickly corrupts
them, and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each OIL
cial preys on the one below him, but
while each. for a short time at least,
enjoys power and prosperity, the poor
peasant is squeezed increasingly"

MAY NAVE BEEN MURDERED

Geogia Spaulding, an aged colored
woman, who was employ ed as a
domestic in many Of the prominent
homes in Ely and East Ely, the
belief is expressed that she has
met with foul play ut the hands of
those seeking to prevent her from
redeeming property at davre,
Montana, valued at $4,000 from
a mortgage which she was about
to cancel.
Mark Walser a Reno attorney,
has in his possession for tae use
of the woman $4,000 which was to
be paid on the morris age tomor-
row, and in an effort Ia locate her
has communicated with peace
off GERS in Nevada and Mon tana by
wire without learning any IT, ace of
her whereabouts.
1t is said that tho woman owns
certain valuable city property in
the bu siness section OF HAVE, and
has hsld it for WARS despite
opposition of the white inhabitants
to her presence. Thu realty has
not been improved, but the old
buildings have been occupied by
relatives of Mrs. Spaulding much
to the dislike of neighbors. For
years unsuccessful efforts have
been made to dislodge her by
purchase, and otherwise hut she
has refused to sell. Recer :ly she
gave a mortgage en- the property
and this fact coupled with tile
animosity for her. is believed to
point a way to forecloHe the
property against her will.
In an effort to remove the
mortgage, the woman made
financial arrangements in Reno,
which resulted in having the
requisite cash placed at her dis
posaI to be forwarded to Havrs on
the completion of the plans for
releasing the mortgage. She left
Reno for Havre nine days ago, and
should have reached there last
Sunday, but no word ha. been
