Boston, Aug. 16. - Two hundred
American tourists who were Overtaken
in Southern Europe by the war arrived
to-day on the steamer Canoplc, OF the
White Star Line, some Of them destl-
tute.
The Canopic left Naples on August
4. and made the run TO Gibraltar at
full speed, passing within twenty miles
OF German cruiser, according 10 d
wireless message that was intercepted.
She was held three hours at Gibraltar
and escorted far out into .he Atlantic
by two torpedo boat destrOyers. The
passengers expressed the belief that
the liner was under surveillance OF
British warships throughout the yoy-
age.
The usual stop at the Azores was
omitted. When the Canopic left Naples
English sovereigns were selling for 30
shiliings, and one passenger sold a
draft for $500 for $50.
Throughout the voyage the steamers
ports were covered and all electric
light bulbs were removed soon after
leaving Naples Among the passen-
gers were Mr.. and Mrs. II. l.. Cookson,
of 81. Louis. who landed with only one
hand bag and very little money. They
were bound for Egypt on the German
steamer General when the war broke
out. Within few miles Of Port Said
on August ] the German cruiser Goe-
ben halted the General at midnight
with two shots across the bow and
ordered her to put back 10 Messins at
full speed.
Passengers Rushed Ashore.
There the passengers were rushed
ashore without their trunks, and the
General left the harbor within half an
hour. The passengers believe that she

WHO PAYS THE DUTY?

Several years ago, in answer to a
correspondent, the Republican stated
that the importer paid the duty-that
the tariff was an occupation tax levied
on the people of other countries for
the privilege of the American mar
kets. Several of the Democratic pa
pers of the state disputed this, but at
that time there was no way of settl-
ing the matter except theoretically;
but now, since the Underwood bill is
in effect, it can be demonstrated by
cold. hard facts instead of in theory.
Take, for example, cattle-now ON
the free list. Instead of reducing the
cost of living, so far as meats are con
cerned, they are actually higher than
they were under a protective tariff
and the cattle dealers of Canada and
Argentina are reaping the benefits OF
being able to enter the American mar
kets without paying a tax for the

addition the expenses of the nation

THE DISTRICT ATToRNEYsHIP

Evidently the situation surround
ing the appointment of a Democratic
United States district attorney has
attained the acute stage, and for
those who are after the position, a
very anxious one.
From recent developments it would
seem that the Nevada senators are
not in accord on the selection, to the
extent that the department of justice
has taken a hand.
For the past week or two there has
been a gentleman named l.. w. Bone
visiting the different sections of the
state, rumor crediting him to the de-
partment of justice, and the purpose
of his visit is said to have been to
inquire into the moral and legal
standing and the popularity of the
men who are aspiring to the job now
held by the Hon. Sam Platt.
What the result of his visit will
be and what he will report to the de-
partment when he reaches Washing
ton. and how Senator Newlands and
Pittman will take to the idea of the
government authorities looking into
matters and relieving them of re-
sponsibilities that should come under
their purview, is all open to %conjec-
ture. Anyway the stirring up of the
opposition to the appointment of G.
II. Mcintosh has compelled the latter
gentleman to get busy, and he has
put in the past two weeks most as
sidiously circulating petitions asking
that he receive the appointment. In
the early stages of the game he re-
fused absolutely doing anything of
this kind, stating that it was not
necessary, that he chad the senator's
word.o From this end of the line,
however, it looks as though Johnny
Kunz, of Goldfeld, had the best of
the argument and would receive the
northumberland Appeal.

Queer Translations.

When the Bible was translated into
Japanese, an equivalent to the word
"baptize'' could not be found, and the
word soak had to be used instead,
so that the Japanese Biblical students
are acquainted with a person named
John the Soaker." and with a doc
trine of soaking for remission of
sins" In that case the ministration
is due to in~adequacy OF language. A
school hoy once rendered "Miserere,
Domino into "Oh. h~eart-broken
schoolmaster," And another ecover
ed from German the tex The spirit
indeed Is willing, but the flesh is

Pebble Industry in Normandy.
The pebble industry is becoming
quite important in upper Normandy,
France. The cliffs of the Caux re-
gion, undermined by subterranean
springs and by the raves of the Eng
lish channel, slip, fall ard break. They
are formed of a c~alcareHus mass con-
tanning fints. These fints fall to the
bottom of the sea, where they become
fiat and take an ovoid shape.
Their color is blue, spotted with
brown, yellow or red stripes. They
are used to manufacture concrete
stone and e~arthenware, and their
dust is even employed to make paint
and rice powder imitation.
Over 1900 tons of pebbles are an
nually picked up on the Normandy
beaches. Most of it is sent abroad.

Fuel Famine in Colorado
Will Result from New Federal
Order Say Coal Operators

Pueblo. Aug. 24.-Protest against
the instructions from Washington
under which the federal troops in
the coal mining districts of Colo
RADIO are operating was voiced by
Harry Van Mater. president of the
National Fuel company, who declared
the troops were aiding the strikers,
and at the same time he sounded n
warning that, unless the instructions
to the troops be altered. the public
will suffer, as shortage of coal is
bound to occur unless sufficient
number of men be obtained to oper-
ate the mines. tg.
I'VE understand said Mr.. Van
Mater, that the officials at Wash
ington consented to heed the appeal
for federal troops in Colorado on
the understanding that they should
be used to preserve the status quo.
We contend, and 1t is fact, that
they are not being used for such pur-
pose. They have become an effect
i've. though not active ally of the
union and plunged the operators,
more particularly the smaller ones,
into condition far worse than that
which existed prior TO the arrival OF
the federal forces.
THAT the federal troops have be-
