Among the Tung Tribes.
Upon reaching the mountain base
we found 4 compact village nesting
among the foothills. The people be-
llongel to another tribe, the lungs,
who, like their neighbors, the laoS,
!. have their homes among the tribe.
1.-THE homes the people lived in were
all two-story dwellings. The ground
floor was used as COW stable or pig
sty, while the people themselves 0c-
cupy the rooms above.
The women wear black kits. These
are made with numerous fine tucks,
varying in width and number accord
J. ing to the amount of cloth on hand at
the time of making. Their limbs were
also bound with the same goods or en-
cased in cloth leggings. Their wrists
and ankles were ornanented with Sill
yer rings, while other rings varying in
size and numbering from one TO hye
were hanging around their necks.
Their sailorlike blOuses were fastened
in the front with bright glass or brass
buttons, and their feet were adorned
with pretty homemade shoes that
turned up !, the toes.
The Journey to the city of kuchow
was uneventful. Our road was on an
ascending scale, each day climbing
higher than the day before, until
sometimes the mountain peaks seemed
to pierce the blue above. Two days AT
ter leaving Linhsi we crossed over the
southern table land, after which all
streams were found to be flowing
northward down through the province
of Human to join the turbid water OF
the great Yangtzekiang.
kuchow a Heterogeneous City.
As we neared the city our caravan
was sighted, and seeing it a small boy
vas soon scurrying along the street
bare-hcaded, and calling to the people
to, "Quick, look, see" 1t had the de-
sired effect, for out of every store the
crowds poured until we were sur
rounded by a motley tllrong, which in-
creased in numbers as we proceeded.
The street was packed with pushing,
pulling, surging humanity, each trying
to get near enough to peep into our
strange faces.
This city, in which we rested over
Sunday is the most heterogeneous l

FOOT AND MOUTH

CARLOAD OF CATTLE FROM NE. BRASKA IS BEING HELD AT

Topeka Kan, Nov. 2J.--A carload of cattle infected with the foot and mouth disease has been received at AoDsas Cluy from Nebraska and is be. ing held there, according to report to Governor Capper made tonight by J. k. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe railroad. Mir Koontz stated that his company had been notified not to make any shipments from the stock yards in either Kansas City or St Joseph Mo-, to points in Kansas or NJ ssouri by officials of the two states The place in Nebraks from where the shipment of cattle came is not known to him Mir. Koontz stated.
 The infection, it is understood, was discovered by federal inspectors.
 Foot and mouth disease also has ap- peared again in Kansas, according to a report from Salina which reached Joseph Mercer, state sanitary live stock commissioner today. The re- ', ort said that the disease had been found at Prescott among cattle re- gently purchased in Kansas City. One farm and the stockyards are under quarantine. Mir. Mercer left for Tres colt today to make an investigation.

M'DANIEL PRESENTS
 \ GOOD DEFENSE
SCORES OF WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT HOME LIFE OF M'DANlELS
 WAS coNGENlAL AND HAPPY.

St. Joseph. Mo- Nov 25.--Three points of the theory upon which the prosecution bases it's charge that Oscar ID, MdDaniel, prosecuting at tOrney of Buchanan county, killed hls wife were attacked here today when the defense began presentation of it's evidence in the accused mans trial. Twntyfour witnesses were examined
 The defense considered the main point it made today was the testi- mony of nearly score of witnesses that the home life of the indicted prosecutor and his wife was congenial and happy in contrast to the prosecu- tion's story that Mrs Mcdaniel had planned to obtain a divorce and had considered employing detectives to watch" her husband. The defense also called H. H. Powell an insurance agent and neighbor to the McDaniels, who said bedding ana clothing from the room in which Mrs Mcdaniel was murdered had been burned and the room cleaned by him and others with out McDaniePs knowledge He also declared he had the sanction of the chief of police to clean the room.
 The third point made in behalf Of the prosecutor was the introduction of five witnesses to show that screams in the neighborhood of the rrosecutors home the night of the murder were made by woung woman swinging. Other witnesses testified that fighting cats also were heard screeching about the same time the state has endeavored to show Mrs. Mcdaniel screamed in her death agony.

the surrender of rifles. The tone of the note, said the premier, did not admit of discussion.
 According to the diplomatic repre- sentatiyes of the entente powers the time allowed would enable the Greek government to reflect with mature de- liberation before making it's decision.
 Admira, Du Fournets note, these diplomats say, reviews at length the arguments of the Greek government justifying this refusal to surrender arms, refers again 10 Frances pro- posal to pay for the arms or replace them after the war, declares that the entente powers do not make the do- mand because they are in need of aT- mamnt, but because they feel that the war materials in Greece would be bet ter employed in defending Macedonia for the liberty of which Hellenic blood has so often been shed" than stored in the arsenals.
 An official close to the king has assured the Associated Press that the surrender of arms no longer depends either on the sovereign or the govern. ment. He declared that the kings best efforts so far had proved frult. less with the army which is deter mined not to surrender their arms. notwithstanding the wishes Of King Constantine.
