The arrest of the Russian officer, General Alikaaoff at Gabul, the capital of Afghanistan, brings to mind ths instance of the late Captain Burton, who once bea pilgrim to Mecca and Invaded the temple there. The Russian was disguised as a devotes and is charged with being » spy in the interest of the Car. Captain Burton's purpose was to study the ways of pilgrims to and within Mecca. His knowledge of the language of the Arabs and their eostumes was so perfect that he traveled to the holy city With a caravan in the disguise of an Arab, and was never found out until the return wee nearly over. In entering the temple he made a mistake that came near costing him his life, making a salaam in the wrong spot, or omitting to make one in the right spot. Like Captain Burton, ths Russian officer is a literary man, being well known as a writer on military

A Possibility of 2:06. Senator Stanford has written a tatter from California to'Mr. Bonner, the owner of Sunol, in which he hopefully speaks of a record of 2:06 for that mars. She has been tame, but is reported to be improving. In this letter it is stated that before tbe lameness began Sunol had trotted i quarter in 29}$ second*. As a three-year-old she did a mile in 2:10}$, without a precedent. There have been horsemen who predicted that a 2:05 mile was possible, and if Senator Stanford’s prediction is reached by Sunol, tbe shaving of the saperfluonj second will not be beyond the realm of Tfcce*track achievement. - 4 • /. - It is to be regretted that the stallion Nelson has not been owned by a true lover of good horset like Stanford or Bonner. He is a wonderful animal, but his time has been made on courses not recognized officially in some oases, bo that his real capabilities can not be known with certainty. Last month he did a mile in 2:10. The best record extant is that of the famous Maud S, who trotted a mile in 2:089$. She has worn ths honors as tbe fasteet trotter many fisrs. It is predieted that Nelson will boat Maud S’s record. The eye* of horsemen will be kept on California to sec if Sunol realizes the prophecy of a 2:06 trotted mil*.

Tb« State’s Taxation. The completion of the work of the State Beard of equalization mark* on* of the most important steps ever taken in Indiana; and ths decision of the people we believe will be “well done, good and faithful servants." The vast total, in round numbers, of $1,860,000,000, marks ths appraised Value of the taxable property in Indiana. And in nothing, we believe, is it an ovar-appraissmsnt. It has, we think, safely erred, if at all, on the minimum side of fair valuation. Certainly,, railroads and corporations have for tbs first timf in many a long year. If ever, been brought to tbe mark of something like an adequate estimate of their due proportion of benefits and consequently a due share of the burdea of the commonwealth. For thle conclusion as well as for tbe general result the word of oommendatien ta to be extended to tbe tax commissioners, and ths meed of praise to be given to Attorney-General Green Smith, It was his ferocious assault in the beginning and his immovable “residence” right in the neighborhood of the subject that prevailed against the combined Venetian which endeavored to shako free a« of old'this ctasl of inltitottapy from their fair share of ths -public burden. Possibly more equable procedure might have attained the end, and to throw grass instead of stones might have hit the mark. Well, Mr. Smith did not throw (rasa; he threw something, and be kept on throwing, and he hit the mark and hit it hard.

schemes tending to extend the usefulness of this branch of ths publl* service. Next to making reliable forecasts, the most important matter that can engage the Weather Bureau is tbe dissemination of its predictions. Tbe newest idta is out that looks to the use of loco-motive-whistles to announce weather chsnges. To bring about an intelligent use of whistle* it will be necessary to get the psopl* along railroad lines to understand when the signals will be given, aud tell them how to identify these with ths probable changes. This will be attended to by the newspapers. Professor Harrington has issued a circular explaining his proposed system. There will be a warning signal to attract attention. This will be a blast of the whistle, continuing for four or six seconds, to indicate that a weather prediction is to bo made, and a shorter blast prepares tl* farmer for an indication of changes in temperature. One long blast will tell the interested listener that he may depend on fair weather; two longcontinued blasts prepare him for snow or rain; three long blasts indicate local rains; one short blast, lower temperature; two short blasts, higher temperature; and three short blasts, cold wave. In combinations, one long, (done, will mean fair weather, stationary temperature; two long, alone, rain or snow, stationary temperature; one long and one short, fair weather, lower temperature; two long and two short, rain or snow, higher temperature; one long and three short, fair weather, cold wave; three long and two shbrt, local rains, higher temperature. Another new idea is that of indicating the probable changes in weather and temperature by a system of tin flags to be carried from the baggage-cars of trains. Number one flag, entirely white, means clear or fair weather; number two, entirely blue, rain or snow; number three, parallel bare of white and blue, with the blue below, local rains; number five, white, with a black square in tbe middle, eold wave. Number four is a black triangular flag, and always refers to temperature. When placed above number one, two, or three, it indicates warmer weather; when below either one of them, colder weatben Very many combinations are possible will these five flags. This flag scheme has been adopted by several railroads, and the system will be extended rapidly if it prove

of value.

The development of the weather bureau has been rapid. It is no longer debatable that it is of real service. The new chief is a scientist, as he should be, and the result of his efforts to extend the usefulness of this department win be watohed with interest.

that need reform fa*. Newport B» L, elects a full Democratic ticket, ta New York there has just been exploited the complete domination of the machine representing what the late.Senator Conkting might call the ‘%oft>iddiag and Abhorrent agencies” in politics, consummating an identification with the pafttonwl administration which drags it into what the late Senator again might style “the hurricane and the snrfeit of mire and detestable accusation." In Ohio the Rapublieans hop* to profit by Governor Campbell's assault on the corrupt elements in bis own party in Oiocinn&tk In our city the Repuhhoan campaign of disrepute ie an appeal to “speakessyism" and an Ohshruotten to public improvements and the moral and material

In Pennsylvania, what Quay ism and Bardsleyism are needs no specification. There, also, ue Republican* are identified with the fenl and corrupt agenoies that have made the affairs of the Keystone State a stench in tbe nostrils of civilisation. In the present campaign they are met and opposed by a union of the reforming elements, typical of which might be mentioned tbe attitude ef the Philadelphia Ledger, which now has come out ia support of the Demeeretie ticket The Ledger considers it “indispensably necessary that the apoila system shall be struck by a crushing defeat in Pennsylvania,” and it intimates very pointedly that the Quay Republican organization in the light of its acta and declaration* will never strike the blow. The Republican machine in Pennsylvania has been struggling very hard lor a long time to alienate and drive aWqv tbe conscientious from among tbe Republicans of the State, and its effort seems to be now attaining some degree of success. The same result is prefigured by the Platt-1: assett national' administration oembins in New York. It seems to be a wave of political evolution.

BTpw W»*sl»or-0 bsormtlon Sobomo. Sine* the Weather Bureau was transferred from the War to the Agricultural Department, Professor Barrington, the new ‘ Probs,” has been elaborating van-

“A Gigantic Gamo.” The following from an editorial In the Philadelphia Telegraph, printed just before tiie New York Republican convention, retains its full fore* for application after it The Telegraph ia one of the ablest newspapers in the country; Republican from the point of view of principle, entirely removed from the tigrish subordination of an organ. Says the Telegraph: The leading Republican organ of ths [New York] State, the Tribune, hae nothing to say editorially of the convention or its probable outcome; bat in its news column it gives clear evidence of peculiar and suggestive "ingbiration” in favor of “the young man’s Mcket,” to be headed by the bright young leader who wae recently brought Into epecial national prominence through President Harrison's appointment of him to the most responsible political office in the country, oatside the cabinet. Of course, futon developments may nveal things not now known and of great significance. Tbe situation may have a different look entirely a month or so hence, hot all the indications are that the national administration, which has not been straining its back to help save tbe author of toe new tariff law, in Ohio, and is apparently quite indifferent to Republican sucoese in soma other States, Pennsylvania not excepted, is going to lay Itself out in a mighty effort to ■eenre New York this tall. Bach a triumph would inevitably have great significance. It wonld be a pointer for next year which wonld attract tbe attention of all would-be delegates to the next Republican national convention. Should Mr. Fassett be nominated for Governor, it is already promised ia his behalf that he will heroically throw away the lucrative and responsible office of oolleotor of the port of New York, and after making each a remarkable eaerifice it wonld not be possible for any man subject to administration influence to see him need help without giving it. Things are shaping themselves in various directions politically this yeftr, and as matters stand in Mew York, on the eve of the Republican convention, it 1s apparent that a gigantic game of “practical politics’’ is about to bo inaugurated. The whole country can not but be interested in the spectacle and in the outcome. Mr. Fassett was nominated. The “<naohine" never worked more exactly than in tq* product it turned out of the New Tftrk Republican convention. The “gigantic game of ’practical politics*" was inaugurated. The national administration is in it with ft “fall band'* and doubtless a full slsevs. The preliminary move of appointing Fassett to ths oustom-heuse vice Erhardt, removed, was manifestly ths first “play" in the game. The fervor of the convention's indorsement of the national administration is responsive testimony, if any were needed, of the thorough concord end understanding of the partners in the game. The Indianapolis Republican organ, with the volubility of a “fool witness,” calls attention to it tbos: Never in the hGtory Qf patties has a State convention of the party ia power at Washington accorded to a President a more bordial, sincere and appreciative indorsement than that which tbe New York Republican convention bestowed upon President Harrison. There is nothing perfunctory in the utterance of the most notable State oonveattea that has met in new York for year*. * * « • * ; * * e AnA speaking of the admiaistratikn ia general, the convention gave it unequivocal commendation in these words: * * fibers are no words in the language to express a higher appreciation of an administration than those above Quoted. * * • This pronounced expression of such » convention Is a crashing answer to all the gossip of hostile newspapers and interviews ot men who have not the capacity to judge of the statesmaaebip of aa administration. It is crashing proof of the reciprocity that exists between the worst gang of New York Republicans and the national administration in the “gigantic game of ’practical politics'" they have undertaken, the first move in which was the removal of Erhardt from the custom-house because he would not submit to what ho characterized thus: ;V' . *?''■. . The recent policy of the Treasury Department has been to control the details el the easterns adminittrntion at the port of New York from Washington, at the cticiatu,* of a privat* W(UvHtitai kavinff uo official That was the dictation of Platt wording through the national administration and the successive steps were tbe removal of Erhardt, the appointment of Fassett in his place and now hia nomination by the machine fog Governor, It ss indeed a “gigantic gam* of ‘practical polities.’"

Difficult!as That Rometimes Stand la the Way ot Mecnnng a Cherokee Wife. ITablequah (L T.) oor. to New York Son.) The recent marriage of Frank R. Davie to Miss Dora Gilbreath ended one of the most exciting courtships on record in the Indian Territory, and a true account of it reads like fiction. Davis is an Ohio boy who came here about two or three years ago, bringing with him a pretty good knowledge of the carpenters trade and not much else, except an ability to pick a banjo and dance a jig. He was stalwart and willing, howevdl 1 , and had no difficulty in getting enough to do to earn a living. The meeting of young Davia with Miss Gilbreath was at an Indian “stomp dance” a few miles south of here. In the dance, when the circle round the little fire had been enlarged until it was six rods in diameter, Davis determined to loin. He watched the circle until a particularly pretty halfbreed Cherokee girl he had noticed came opposite him, and then stepped up to fall in behind her. Davis did not know that an ardent admirer of tbe girl was already right behind her. The girl tried to make room for him, but the other fellow, Tad Scott, grasped her arm and sorowled at Davis. The girl resented Scott’s doings, and a moment later Scott drew a knife and made a lunge at hit rival. Davis dodged the blow and looked surprised. The girl thought he was afraid and curled her lip reproachfully. That settled Scott’s fate. Davis leaped upon his, and bearing him to the earth, grabbed him about the neck and choked him till he was black in the face. The dance had been interrupted somewhat by the fight, but it went on after a few minutes’ delay, and Davis joined in. The choked man revived and got a sixshooter. The girl saw the pistol and screamed, and Davis jumped to one side just in time. Scott’s bullet grazed his ear. The next cartridge fortunatelv missed fire, and before the next could be fired Davis had Scott down again. This time the voung carpenter caught the revolver, wrenched it away, and struok Scott on the head with it, fracturing hi* skull, so that he died the next dav. After a short sojourn in prison Davis was released, came back to his home here, and found himself extremely popular, save with the relatives of Scott. Davis quickly learned that if he stayed in the country he would have to fight them. Fortunately for Davis the relatives of the girl were numerous, she being a descendant of old Chief Sixkiller and of Oocbelater as well, and were all on Davis’s side. Davis got a warning the first Sunday be passed hereafter returning from prison. He had an appointment with Miss Gilbreath daring the evening, and was told that Hank Jennings, a cousin of Bcott, was going to waylay him at a certain place on the road to the’ Gilbreath farm. Davis said he would keep his eyes open, and started to fill his appointment with Miss Gilbreath. Instead of following the road he left it before reaching the place of ambush, and, making a detour, came back into the road on tbe further side of Jennings. But it would never do for him to thus turn away from danger. He must fight or lose caste in the country. So he walked down the road until he found Jennings, who had a Winchester rifle end was watching in an opposite direction for him. Davis bad only a pistol and was not a good shot besides, so he determined to stalk the enemy. With great oare he approached until within two rods of Jennings, and then some noise Davis made attracted tbe other’s attention. Davis plunged forward. Jennings lumped up and turned, and then Davis fired. Jennings dropped his gun and held up his hands for a moment and then tumbled to the ground with a ballet hole through his shonlder. For a moment Davis thought he had better finish the job by killing the rascal, but he bad not been in the Territory long enough to do that. Afterward he regretted his merov. Learning that Duck Murray, a halfbrother of the dead Scott, bad publicly announced bis intention of taking a hand in the row by shooting Davis on sight, tbe latter determined to prepare for war in a scientific manner. So he went to ex-Deputy Marshal Spaul, one of the best shots in the Indian country, and asked to be instructed in the art of handling a revolver. This made a great laugh throughout tbe country, for no one here ever thought of taking lessops in shooting. Murray went about tailing folks it was a pity to kill a schoolboy, but nothing but a sense of duty made him think ef doing it Luck favored Davis, however, for he happened to meet his adversary unexpectedly one dav as be rounded the corner at the postofnee. He clinched with Murray, Neither could draw a weapon. It was rough-and-tumble for a fsw moments, and then Davis got Murray’s pistol aod sprang* to his feet The spectators leaned eagerly forward to see the prostrate man get his death-wound, but onoe more Davis stopped. He oould not kill a helpless man jnst then. A moment later, though, he was ready to do so, for Jennings, with one hand m a sling and a revolver in the other, arrived and fired at Davis’s back. Davis felt the ballet glance on bis rib. and firing one shot into Murray, he whirled about and faced Jennings. Both men fired together, bat Davit’s aim was the better, and Jennings

fell.

Neither Murray ner Jennings was fatally wounded, although no one knew it at the time, and the crowd began shouting to Daria to finish his job. Davis’s method of doing this was peculiar. He grabbed Jennings by the cellar, disarmed him, and drugged him to Murray's side. Then he lifted both men to their knees and asked them if they wep ready to die. Both begged for mercy. At this juncture Davis turned to a bystander, narrowed a Testament and asked each if be would swear to be his friend fn future. Each took tiie oath and both have abided by it since. To make sure qf bis position, Davis, on the day after his last fight, called on each of Scott's remaining male relatives and asked him whether he was for war or peace. It was, perhaps, the result of the fight with Murray and Jennings that caused each to say pence. The war was over, and young Davia married his half-breed Cherokee sweetheart without further trouble.
