The American Humane society is beginning a movement for the worldwide efforts to protect animals. AlTeady several hundred consuls have been interrogated and their replies show that while humane work has made a good foothold in some countries, in others it is wholly lacking. .

It is reported that the Indians on the reservations are taking seriously to farming.

If it is to become the vogue to rig up the telephone so as to enable people icremain at home and listen to the sermons of their pastors very few if any pecple will go to church, and the next step will be to dispense with the churches and have the pastor deliver his sermon in his study.

Another naval battle has been fought between - Colombian government vessels and insurgent gunboats. 1t does not seem to have been much ef a battle, even as battles go down in that part of the world, but those fellows might as well enjoy themselves in their own peculiar way as long as they can.

The new battleship Maine is evidently worthy to bear a name that will ever be cherished in American naval history. In her trial trip she maintained a speed of 18.29 knots per hour, whereas the contract called for 18 Eknots, and for 30 minutes she maintzined a speed of 19.95 knots. This is a fast pace for a big. powerful ship, and shows that if the Maine ever goes into a fight even the cruisers will find it difficult to get away from her.

Census statistics show that the scuth is taking the place of the north es the great lumber region of the country. The value of the lumber products cof Michigan and other great Jumber states of the north is declinIng. while that of the most of the ecuthern states is rapidly gaining.

Except in localities it has not come down with such force or in such volume at any time as to destroy crops, but the surplus water is now working dreadful havoc with the fields in the valleys of the Des Moines and Mississippi rivers, in southern lowa and northern Missouri.

CRIMESARECHARGED

Anti-Imp:rialists Arraign Army in o the Philippines.

An Open Letter to the President—-War . Department Accused of Covering Up Faets—The Army Demoralized—lnquiry Urged,

Lake George, N. Y., July 28.—Edwin Burritt Smith, of Chicago, Carl Schurz, Moorfield Story, Herbert Welsh, and Charles Francis Adams, constituting a committee appointed by the anti-im-perialists at their meeting in New York last spring to investigate conditions in the Philippines, Sunday returned their verdict, finding the officers and privates of the Unifed States army in the Philippines guilty of the following crimes: : Kidnaping and murder under circumstances of aggravated brutality. Robbery. Torture, both of men and women, and rape. : The infliction of the death penalty on evidence elicited by torture. The anti-imperialists issued this opinion in direct reply to President Roosevelt’s recent review of the case of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, and it took the form of an open letter addressed to the president. o

Utter Demoralization of Army.

The committee declares that the commanders in the Philippines by their examples have incited their subordinates to the torture of natives, and that this has resulted in the utter demoralization of the army and the destruction of all sense of morality. It claims that in one district after a general used the phrase, “Kill or burn,” 100,000 natives out of a total of 300,000 perished, and that in Samar fire and sword held full sway. The committee claims it has proof of the cold-blooded murder of a Catholic priest by a commissioned officer, and declares that the custom of murdering wounded Filipinos is general throughout the island. It speaks of one general as ‘“recently promoted for killing those whose bread and salt he, starving, had begged for and eaten.” '’

Court-Martials Are Farces,

Turning from its charges as ®to treatment of natives, the committee declares openly that the court-mar-tials of Smith and others charged with cruelty were farces, the testimony given a mockery, meant to be humorous, that every effort is made by the' war department to conceal real conditions in the islands. It declares the idea that ‘‘the honor of the army” is at stake has made the trials a farce, claiming the honor of the United States is mere at stake than that of the army, and comparing the case with that of Dreyfus in France. Claims Facts Are Concealed.

The committee states that its efforts to investigate have been hindered and blocked by ‘“‘the paper department of the army.” While claiming that the department refused information regarding the concentration camps, the committee admits receiving the reports of the medical examiners in the camps, but declares these to be “an insult to the intelligence of those to whom they arg addressed.”

Asks for Investigation,

In setting forth all its allegations regarding the conduct of the army the committee calls upon the president to mdke a thorough investigation. .

A JEALOUS LOVER.

Charles Weyley Killa His Former Sweetheart and Himself at \ Springfield, Mo.

Springfield, Mo., July 28.—Charles Woyley, aged 25, of Norwood, Mo., shot and killed Miss Josephine Sheridan, his former sweetheart, at her home here, and then shot and killed himself. Misg Sheridan and her sister were entertaining friends in the back yard when Weyley rang the door bell. Miss Sheridan went through the house to the front door, and almost immediately four shots were heard. When members of the family reached the spot a minute later both the girl and Weyley were dead, stretched side by side on the porch. Miss Sheridan had been shot through the heart, while the top of Weyley's head had been torn off. Jealousy probably prompted Weyley to shoot Miss Sheridan and then himself. They had known each other for four years, and up to a month ago had been engaged to be married.

He is not expected to live.

PERISH IN A GALE.

Twelve Persons Drowned on the Pa=cific Coast—More Damage by - Rain, Hail and Flood.

Vancouver, B. C., July 28.—A heavy gale is responsible, it is believed, for the deaths of 12 men, who arethought to have been drowned in the waves of ocean or rivers.

Dallas, Tex., July 28.—The deluge of rain which has been pouring over central Texas and that which has been covering the western portion of the state since Sunday has not abated. In addition to the three lives lost at Stepliensville there has been much property damage. éanandaigua, N. Y., July 28.—Another terrific storm visited this section, doing great damage to crops and property that had not already suffered. Edward Chamberlain was

struck by lightning and instantly killed. Canandaigua .lake has risen still higher. The damage on hundreds of farms is irreparable. From every part of the county come reports that wheat is sprouting in the shock, and that a serious blight has struck the apple trees. ! Chicago, July 28.—Lightning, rain, hail and flood continue to add to loss of life and destruction of property in various sections of the country. Crops on many farms in the lowlands of the Illinois and Rock rivers are still under water and in' many instances are supposed to be ruined. A cloudburst near Moline, 111., put four miles of the Burlington tracks under water. A large force is repairing the Lacey levee near Havana, 111., and some of the crops in that vicinity may be saved. Hail cut crops to pieces near La Crosse, Wis. In western Texas the flood situation is still more serious and if the rainfall continues in other parts of the state the cotton erop will suffer. London, July 28.—The gale which prevailed in England Saturday caused great destruction to crops throughout the United Kingdom. Incoming steamers report terrific weather on the Atlantic.

MOTHER CRAZED BY ALCOHOL.

Strangles Two of Her Little Ones and a Third May Die—Awful Scene i 'in a Home,

New York, July 28.—Richard Meade, a night watchman, on returningcto his home in Brooklyn Saturday found his two little daughters dead frcm strangulation caused by twine tightly tied around their throats. A third child was unconscious from the same cause and his wife lay in a comatose condition on the floor, apparently suffering from alcoholism combined with poison. According to the police the woman was of intemperate habits and the supposition is that she strangled the children while in a delirious cendition. The oldest child was three years of age. Her body and that of her one-year-old sister were lying on the bed with several yards of stout twine wound abcut their throats. The other little one was still alive and was removed to a hospital with the mother. The baby's injuries are probably fatal as the slender cord had cut deep into its throat. About one year ago Meade had his wife arraigned for commitment for intemperance. It was just prior to the birth of the youngest child and on that account she was released on promise to reform.

A TERRIBLE RECORD.

THE FRENCH RIOTS.

Many Fights Occur During Demon= stration Over Question of Closing Certain Schools.

Paris, July 28.—The demonstration made Sunday in connection with the decree of Premier Combes ordering the olosing of the congregationist schools proved to be quite as much of & manifestation in support of the government as of opposition to its anticlerical measures. The crowd which gathered in the place de la Concorde numbered 15,000 persons, while as many more thronged the Champs Elysees. The clerical and anti-clerical forces about equally divided the gatherings. The former were distinguishable by the red, white and blue paper flowers which they wore, while the latter sported red eglantines. Though many fights occurred, they never be-

came general, nor was any person seriously injured. An imposing force of police and mounted municipal guards had much trouble in keeping the manifestants constantly moving, and at times they were forced to charge to prevent the crowd becoming too dense. On the whole, the crowds were good-natured and mainly confined themselves to shouting “Liberty, Liberty;” “Long Mve the Sisters,” and “We want the Sisters!” To which the anti-clericals replied *Vive le Republique,” and “Down with the priests!” The occasional appearance of a priest was a signal for much hooting and several fights were due to their presence. ; A striking feature of the manifestations was the large number of women, many of them well dressed, who ‘actively participated. Nor were these all clerical in their sympathies, for the anti-clerical women were also out in strong force and they occasionally made things lively for their clerjcal sisters, whom the police had some difficulty in protecting.

The demonstrations culminated when a group of 30 ladies, some in carriages, and some on foot, headed by Mmes. Reille, de Mun, Cibiel and de Pommerol, attempted to reach the ministry of the interior in order to present to Premier Combes a petition on behalf of the sisters. The police, however, refused to allow them' to pass. Subsequently, the clericals made an angry rush on the cordon guarding the avenue Gabrielle, and the soldiers had to use the butts of their guns to keep back the crowd.

DR. ADAMS DEAD.

Former President University of Wisconsin Passes Away at Redlands, Cal.—His Career,

Redlands, Cal., July 28.—Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, formerly president of the University of Wisconsin, passed away painlessly Saturday night after a lingering illness. The fatal malady was Bright’s disease. During the last week he had endured several relapses, each one leaving him weaker than before, and from the last one he failed to rally. For the greater part of several days past he had been only half conscious.

Dr. Adams had been in poor health for several years. While at the head of the University of Wisconsin he was granted a long leave of absence to recuperate. He went to Europe, but on returning to his work a year ago his health again gave way, and he resigned after a few months and came to California. At the time of his death Dr. Adams was 67 years old. Dr. Adams’ estate is estimated t 6 amount to $75,000. The will, which is to be probated here, has not been opened. The funeral will take place to-day and will be private. Interment will be in Redlands Hillside cemetery.

Dr. Adams was born in Derby, Vt., and his early education was gaired in the pubiz schools of his birthplace and Derby academy. In 1856 his parents removed to lowa, and his education was continued there under the tutorship of the Rev. H. K. Edson, of Denmark academy. In the fall of the following year he was admitted to the University of Michigan, and working his way through, was graduated in 1861. Four years later, however, he returned to the university to become instructor in Latin and history. : In 1865 he was promoted to the position of assistant professor, and when, two years afterwards, Prof. White accepted the pres~ idency of Cornell university, Mr. Adams was appointed his successor in the chair of history. | -

"V\-"il;x'ern President White, of Cornell, retired from office in 185 Prof. Adams was chosen to fill the vacancy, becoming the cecond president of the school. A period of remadrkable growth began with the Adams administration, and his term was marked by a complete reorganization of the departments. In 1885 the university had a staff of 54 instructors and an attendance of 573 students; in 1892, when President Adams resigned the presidency to assume control of the University of Wisconsin, the corps of instructors numbered 135 and the enrollment had grown to 1,500, Dr. Adams published a number of works, the most prominent among them being “PDemocracy and Monarchy in France’ and “Manual of Historical Literature.” Inventor Dies, Indianapolis, Ind., July 28.—Carl F.

The miners’ leaders declare they have sufficient proof to impeach Judge Jackson, and.it is probable that the impeachment proceedings will be begun soon if the judge, after a final hearing, refuses to dissolve the injunction. , Secretary Wilson admitted Saturday that the miners corntemplate this course, and that a complete transeript of the case, including the complaints and Judge Jackson’s decision, will be prepared for submission to President Roosevelt and the senate. The miners also intend to give to the public the evidence in the case. : Wilson says that if the impeachment proceedings are begun, there will be no politics in them. The miners will not ask President Roosevelt to interfere with the injunction, as he says they realize the president is without power as to injunctions, but if the habeas corpus proceedings fail to release the organizers, the president will be asked to pardon them. Thehabeas corpus proceedings will be begun as soon as the papers can be made out. Mine Workers® officials believe the crisis in the anthracite coal strike will come within the next two weeks. The real test of the strength of the operators will come when the supply of hard coal in the market is exhausted. This situation promises to develop within two weeks at the outside and probably within a few days. A shortage of 11,129,269 tons from last year’s supply exists in the anthracite market, and the supply on hand has practically been exhausted. A few days will leave the eastern market barren. This will mean the test of the unity of the -operators. Whether they will be able to resist the demands that will be made on them from manufacturers and the public generally is the question. The miners think they will not. Indianapolis, Ind., July 28.—At the mine workers’ national headquarters it is announced that no time will be lost in pushing the habeas corpus proceedings for the release of members of the organization arrested under the edict of Judge Jackson, of the United States district court at Parkersburg, W. Va. Secretary Wilson explained another point in the miners’ case in which he will base their claim to be set free. According to Mr. Wilson, not one of the men arrested was proved to have made any speeches, inflammatory or otherwise, after Judge Jackson’s restraining order was issued.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 28.—The beginning of the eleventh week of the anthracite miners’ strike finds apparently no change in the situation, although the rumor has been revived that an effort will be made some day this week, upon the part of one of the large companies, to start up one of their collieries. The companies have a sufficient number of coal and iron policemen enlisted now to prevent trouble, should it arise, and all that would be necessary to get a mine in operation would be a sufficient number of miners and laborers to blast the coal and load it on the cars. No doubt plenty of ordinary laborers could be secured, but it is a question whether the requisite number of miners could be persuaded to go into the workings. At strike headquarters the belief is as strong as ever that the operators cannot resume and that it is idle talk to even suggest such a thing. President Mitchell simply says that the situation' is about the same and that the strikers are as firm as ever. '

Nicaragua Heeds the Appeal of United States in Behalf of Dr. . Russell Wilson, '

Washington, July 28.—Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister, Saturday informed Acting Secretary of State Hill that his government has accepted the minister’s recommendation relative to the postponement of any final measures in the case of Dr. Russell Wilson, the American captured with a filibustering party near Bluefields, until all of the rights whieh he has under the law have been invoked. Furthermore, President Zelaya showed the confidence he felt in his minister here by indicating his purpose to be bound in the final disposition of Wilson’s case by the minister’s recommendation.

A FOOLISH LIFT.

Stratford, Wis., July 28th—William Junemann was working with a farmer near this place last summer and one day they got stuck with a load of grain. Mr. Junemann says: “We had to lift like fools and my back cracked and started to hurt me so that I couldo’t stand it any longer. The man I was working with took me home and I went to bed.
