Very Little Alarm
Felt at Washington.

Washington. Nov 2e.-The reut of
the Mexican federals near Juarez by
the Constitutionalist forces and a
wireless report from Rear Admiral
Fletcher indicating that conditions in
the oil regions near Tuxpam were
not SO threatening as previously had
been reported, held the interest of Of
fetal Washington, today. in the Mex
ican situation.
The wireless message to the navy
department from Admiral Fletcher,
who left Vera Cruz on the battleship
Rhode Island, late Monday night,
with John Lind, the special AmeIi-
can envoy to investigate alleged
threatening conditions in the oil dis
tricts of Tuxpam and Tampie o,
brought evident relief 10 officials here.
The admiral's report regarding the
Tuxpam field, where British and
American interests are situated gave
indications that no immediate aggres-
siYe action on the part of the United
states TO furnish protection would be
necessary.
Though no official report has yet
come with relation 10 the Tampico
district. the belief here is that the

eribino the Idols.

From Mr.. j. l.. Keeler comes an in-
teresting account of the missionary
hospital work at Ch'angli, in the
province of Chilli, North China, in
its ninth year One case mentioned
is that of a young magistrate who
was recently brought in a chair to
the hospital with badly swollen face;
the left half of the lower jaw bone
had been destroyed by an ,abscess,
and his whole system poisoned His
arms and legs We're dropsieal, and
for three months his only relief from
pain had been afforded by opium.
After consulting native doctors in
vain. he had burned incense and
made offerings at various temples and
shrines. To one idol he yainly offered
as an inducement to cure him the
erection of ii tablet extolling his heal
ing poWers. At another temple he
hired a theatrical company to per-
form religious acts At last he went
TO Ch'angli, where u cure was effected.
Thoroughly convinced of the useless
ness of idols and priests. he turned
away from paganism and joined the
ohurch.-The Christian Herald.

Moth Convicted of Murder.

Lady Molesworths tragic death
through wasp's sting recalls case
Of murder by a moth.
In olden times il was not rare for
animals to be accused and convicted
of various offences, and given judicial
trials: but there is a more recent case
recorded in which moth was proved
TO have been a murderer. 1t was the
case of the Princess Carayeila, at
Naples After giving a dinner party
she proceeded to her room to snatch a
few minutes of rest, in order to re-
fresh herself for a dance.
She was discovered lying dead OH
her bed with pistol wound In her
heart. Her husband, Prince Caraveila,
had been noted for his jealous disposl-
ton; and, as it was certain that no
stranger could possibly have been III
the Princess's room, suspicion pointed
to him, and he was arrested.
TIE pistol was found lying near
the murdered woman. which in itseif
was favorable to the Prince, 1or no
murderer, unless he courtede detec-
tion. would thus leave the weapon to
be discovered. In spite of this, it was
probable that things would have gone
hard with the accused but for the
shrewdness OF a Naples police officer.
This man carefully examined the bed+
chamber. and, lying on the floor by
the bedside, he found one of those
large moths that abound in Italy. A
lighted candle had stood on table
by the bed, and the moths wings bore
evident marks of having been badly

LOOKS LIKE A SEA OF ICE.
Curious Lake of Soda in the Wilds OF
East Africa.

Lake Magadi, in British East Africa,
is famous for its vast deposits of soda.
Until recently few people have seen its
shores, for it lies in the midst of a
barren and waterless district, but the
railway that was started a few years
ago by an English company opens the
way for travellers to this curious nat
ural phenomenon. A recent visitor de-
scribes it in the London Field
Ordinarily it looks as il it had froz-
en- and as If snow had then fallen up
cn it, partially thawed and frozen
again. The, temperature gives the lie
to this appearance of roughened zee
for the heat is extreme and at midday
almost unbearable. The soda burns tao
feet even through boot, and The
sharp, projecting spikes, which resem-
BILE huar frost, will pierce any except
the thickest sole. After the rains there
is a layer of water over the greater
rart of the lake, which turns a lovely
pink color. BY moonlight the scene is
wcirdly beautiful.
The lake contains at least 200, 000, o0t
tons If crystalline substance, compos.
cd almost equally of carbonate ane

erground streams of saturated soda

Leaders Of Both Parties Willing
to Pass Tariff Quickly.
REPUBLICANS START THE MOVE
5trong Sentiment in the Senate
. Against Starting Consideration
Of the Banking Question.

Washington, July .26.-Steps are be-
ing taken in both houses of congress
looking to an adjournment immedi-
ately following the passage of the tar
if bill.
Leaders of both parties are willing
to quit as soon as the tariff bill is out
of the way, putting banking legisla-
tion over until the December session.
The Democrats will make no prom
ises in this regard until they have
ascertained the wishes of President
Wilson.
There is strong sentiment in the
senate against consideration of the
banking question at this time. while
the house leaders have long doubted
the wisdom of attempting such legis-
kation at this time.
Polls are being taken in the house
and the senate to determine the atti-
tude of the membership generally.
They are expected to show that SEN
ators and representatives, regardless
Of party, favor an adjournment as
soon as President Wilson has ap-
proved the tariff bill.
The initiative in the negotiations
under way was taken by Republican
leaders in the senate. They suggest
ed that if the Democrats would agree
to an early adjournment, they would
cooperate with view to passing the
tariff bill the last week in August.
Democrats said they were agree.
able, but that they could not commit
themselves on the proposition until
they had sounded the president.
Up to date President Wilson has
taken the position that it is the duty
Of congress to pass currency bill as
we'll as the tariff bill before adjourn
ment.

The United States government de.
r1anded not only the prompt arrest,
court martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles D. Dixon, an American immi-
grafton official at Juarez, Mex, Sat-
urday, but the immediate release Of
Charles Bissel and Bernard Mcdonald,
mining managers, imprisoned by fed
eral soldiers at Chihuahua City, and
said to be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re-
garded in official circles that they
overshadowed largely the policy which
the visit of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson had brought to climax. ::
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis.
cuss the affair. :..:
The president had Ambassador Will.
sons long report in hand, studied it
carefully, and after an early confer
ence with Mr.. Bryan will be prepared
to inquire of the ambassador what
remedies he would suggest.
In the meantime the ambassador
would give 40 inkling of the recon-
1,ot1 hoe in MIND %ho
general statement that his plan would
conserve the friendly relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States
and protect, likewise, the interests Of
Americans In the Southern republic.
Protest to Huerta Government.
The ambassadors long experience
with outbursts against American citi.
zens, such as those against which the
American government lodged a pro-
test, will make him an important fac.
tor in whatever policy is adopted to.
ward the Huerta government on &C.
count of developments at Juarez and
Chihuahua.
The demand that the soldiers at
Juarez be court-ma rtialed and that the
guilty be punished is a much more
pointed request than has hitherto been
voiced by the American government.
Although Mcdonald, who is Bissers
fellow prisoner at Santa Rosetta, is
reported to be an English subject, the
demands for protection overed both
men, and the American consul at Chi
huahua was ordered to go to the ex-
treme of precaution to prevent harm
from Detailing the two mining men.
Telegrams corroborating the reports
of the shooting at Juarez were receiv-
ed at the state department.
There is little information about: the
status of, Mcdonald and Bissel.
1t appears that they were en- route
to Parrel in an automobile to bring
out refugees when arrested at Santa
Rosalia 49,.
The machine was confscated and
the two men taken to the city Of Chi.
huahua, where news of their impend-
ing fate was carried to the border by
Americans.
