8 INDIAN OUTBREAK IS IMMINENT. Apaches on the Warpath After Old Enemies. Zunis Murdsr Three Members of the Arizona Tribe, The Latter Swear to Avenge the Killing of the Apaches, and a Bitter Warfare Is Looked for Between the Two Tribes. JEROME Aug. was thrown into a fever of excitement to-day by a band of Apache Indians in war paint posing through.

Leaders of the tribe stopped and purchased a large supply of ammunition, and hastily left in the wake of their fast disappearing comrades. Additional interest wias lent to the occurrence by the presence of only "Bucks" in the band. A reporter of the Associated Press secured a horse and overtook the Indians a few miles from Jerome, and after considerable persuasion was permitted to accompany them on the journey of twenty miles over the roughest imaginable country. When the vicinity of Red Rock was approached the pu.ce of the horses was quickened, and an impatience was noticed in the Indians, not noticeable before. In a canyon with perpendicular walls rising to a hight of hundreds of feet were the remains of a camp fire, and near by the wigwam.

In front of the wigwam was the body of a squaw, and papoose while a few rods in front was a buck. All three had been horribly mutilated and scalped. The hands, feet and ears were cut off. The Indians formed a circle about the bodies, and on the dismembered bodies swore to wreak an awful vengeance. The name Zunl occurred many times.

The bodies were buried near the scene of the crime, and the band took the trail to the north. Head Justin, one of the most intelligent of the band, and who speaks excellent English, was delegated to accompany the reporter to the bounds of civilization, and of him something of the affair was learned. The Zuni's are a New Mexico tribe, while the Apaches are of Arizona. A bitter enmity has existed for years between the tribes, but a truce has put an end to hostilities for some time. The three murdered Indians had left their reservation near Camp Verde, and surpi is.

by a band of Zunis. The Apaches took their trail in the direction of New Mexico, and old settlers fear that a fuiious outbreak will follow and end in the extermination of one of the tribes. There are no soldiers within reach, and settlers are not disposed to interfere in the outbreak. IN FAVOR OF RESPONDENTS. Judge Morrow Renders a Decision in a Mining Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. States Circuit Judge Morrow to-day rendered a decision in the case of Frederick Williams, complainant, vs. the Gold Hill Mining Company et al. The suit was for the foreclosure of a mortgage for UKKI held by C. Liv- I ingstone Morse on mining property in Nevada County.

The foreclosure pro- e-edings were opposed by the minins people, on the ground that the owners of the required stock had not voted for the mortgage. According to the laws of the State of California two- thirds of the stork must be represented in a vote to mortgage property. The complainant opposed this objec- tion with the claim that the mortgage was made in New York, and that the parties were subject to the laws of the State of New York. Judge Morrow decides that to do business in this State an outside corporation must conform to the State laws. A verdict in favor of the respondents was rendered.

WALTER WELLMAN IN ENGLAND. The Leader of the Polar Expedition Arrives at Hull, Accompanied by the American Members cf the Expioralion Party.

Recounts His Experiences in His Trip to Franz First Object of the Expedition, to Explore the North and Northeast Parts, a Success, but the Second Not Completed, Owing to His Meeting With an Accident. HULL (England), Aug. 2d Walter Wellman, the leader the Wellman polar expedition, who returned to Tromsoe, Norway, August 17th, after having successfully completed operations in Franz Josefland, has arrived here. He walks with the aid of crutches, his right leg, which was seriously injured by a fall into a snowcovered crevasse while Mr. Wellman was leading his party, still being useless.

The explorer was accompanied by the American members of the expedition, who are well. In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press, Mr. Wellman said: "The object of the expedition was two-fold complete the exploration of Franz Joselfland, of which the north and northeast parts were practically unknown, and to reach a high latitude, or even the pole itself. The first object was successfully accomplished. The second would have been achieved, at least to a greater extent than by previous explorers, but for the accident to myself." Mr.

Wellman recounted the starting of the expedition from Tromsoe, June 20, 1898, how it reached Elmwood, the headquarters of the Jackson expedition, July 28th, and hoisted there the Stars and Stripes underneath the union jack, which had been flying over the deserted settlement for nearly two years. The provisions left for Professor Andree, the missing aeronaut, were found by Mr. Wellman untouched. After leaving- letters about his expedition and taking a collapsible house with him, Mr. Wellman proceeded due east for Cape Tegethoff, and arrived there July 30, 1898.

There the party landed all the stores, and the steamer returned to Norway. "We established our headquarters in the little house brought from Jackson's headquarters." continued Mr. Wellman. "over which flew the Stars and Stripes. "Desiring to push further north with the greatest speed.

I dispatched Baldwin on August with the Norwegians, sledges, dogs and boats, myself and others intending to follow in a few days. Shortly after Baldwin's departure I discovered that, owing to a sudden break up of the ice, I was unable to proceed, but I sent two Norwegians to inform Baldwin to build his outpost, leave two men in charge of it and return to my headquarters." Here Lieutenant Evlyn B. Baldwin of the bureau told of the doings of his expedition. He said: "September 21st my party reached Cape Heller, in latitude 81, where we decided to make an outpost. From the very outset we had a constant fight with the high seas, ice and wind, and there was a continual fog.

The ice underneath us parted with terrific crashes, leaving us adrift on small floes. Here we built a station, and called it Fort McKinley. We stocked it with blubber and meat, and, leaving there two volunteers, Ventzen and Bjorvig, I started to return October 22d to Mr. Hellman's, arriving there October 30th in safety in spite of great hardships, cold, darkness and ice. The party spent the winter comfortably in Harmsworth house, which was completely buried in snow.

They killed many bears. Mr. Wellman, February 18, 1890. with Norwegians with sledges and dogs, started north." Mr. Wellman, continuing said: "February 26, 1 I arrived at Fort Mc- Kinley.

Bjorvig, rifle in hand, stood at the mouth of the snow tunnel, lie wrung my hand, and with tears in his i y.g-. Bald: 'Poor Ventzen is "Of course you have buried him," I said. Bjorvig replied, 'he lies pointing to the hut. 'I have kept my "The two men had made a compact that in case of death the survivor should keep the body until help came. In the little hut the quick and the dead had slept side by side through two months of Arctic darkness.

"Bjorvig said he had managed to keep up his spirits by reciting Ibsen poetry. "The next day we gathered stones and under these We buried our dead comrade. A few fitting words were spoken as we stood around in 70 degrees of frost. After a delay of ten days, the party, including Bjorvig, pressed north in sledges and by march until we reached 82 degrees, east of Rudolph Island "The prospects were then most reassuring. had three months of the best season before us and were confident of reaching 87 degrees.

Though we had suffered from cold we were all in fine form. "Then a seemingly trivial accident turned the advance into a precipitate retreat. While struggling with the sledges in rough ice, my right leg was bruised and sprained by my falling into a hidden crevasse. For two days, I went on, and, unless other circumstances had not occurred. I should have passed onward so far that I would never have been able to return alive.

At midnight, March 22d, we were awakened by the crushing of the ice under our feet. It swayed and deep crevasses yawned about us. Several dogs and sledges were crushed. In tne darkness and storm it was impossible to see a path of safety. Expecting to be overwhelmed at any moment by the ice.

we scrambled over the field of ire and saved most of our equipment, except the dog food, reaching a place of safety in half an hour, "Our brave Norwegian comrades did not express the slightest fear. While it was possible to go on for a time, my leg now demanded a retreat. For two or three days I stumbled along, until I fell. There was nothing to do then but get on a sled and be dragged back to headquarters by the men and the dogs. Forced marches by my devoted comrades saved my life.

"The point at which we turned back was twenty-five miles northwest of Freeden Islands, where Dr. Nansen landed in North of these Islands we photographed three islands and some lanre land, unseen either by Payer or Nansen. We also found that Payer's so-called Dover glacier does not exist. "I still believe it is possible to reach the pole by Franz Josefland. But I cannot say if I shall make another effort." After Mr.

Wellman's return to Harmsworth House, April Dth, Baldwin and four Norwegians went out to Wilczek Land, charting the unexplored east coast and discovering a new 'cc covered island extending to 04 degrees east, almost as large as ilczekland. They named it Graham Belland, after the President of the American Geographical Society. Baldwin returned to the base April 30th. A. Harlan of the United States Coast Survey also took a separate trip before the reunited expedition sailed July 27th on the steamer Capetta.

A fairly complete survey of the archipelago has been prepared by Mr. Wellman and his party. They all show traces of hardship. Their faces are pale and drawn and ellman is much thinner than formerly. His right leg is drawn up a foot from the ground, and it is not known yet whether he will ever again use it.

He will consult a specialist in London immediately. Otherwise, he is in good health and spirits. On board the El Dorado, the Norwegian mail boat which brought tho party to Hull, Mr. Wellman was the center of attraction, and on arriving at Hull the passengers gave him a cordial send-off. The party proceeded immediately to London, where they arrived this afternoon.

P. Fischer and W. S. Bond. Tracing a Counterfeit.

"The tracing of counterfeits back to the 'shover' is curious and exciting work," said an ex-Government employe. "One day back in the seventies a bank clerk in Cincinnati detected a 'queer' $2U bill in the deposit of a small retail grocer. He sent for me and I started to work. I found that the grocer had received the bill from a shoe dealer, who had it from a dentist, whoj had it from somebody else, and so on, until I finally traced it to an invalid woman who had used it to pay her physician. When questioned she said the money had been sent to her by her brother, who lived in New Orleans.

I looked up her brother's pedigree and was certain I had my man. He had a bad record, was proprietor of a dive, and was just the sort of person likely to be a confederate of counterfeiters. I came here with the handcuffs in my pocket, but as things turned out I was a little premature. The man proved to my complete satisfaction that he had received the money as rent for a small house he owned in Pittsburg. That was discouraging, but I couldn't give up after going so far, and took the next train for Pittsburg.

The tenant of the house turned out to be a traveling oculist, who spent most of his time on the road. He was then away in the West, but I saw him on his return and he at once recognized the bill. It had been given him by a patient in Cincinnati, the very point from which I started. The patient was a boss carpenter. I got his address from the oculist and made a bee line for the city.

I had a premonition that something very strange was going to happen, and I wasn't disappointed. The carpenter was an honest old fellow, and told me without hesitation that he had received the bill from Mr. for repairing his barn. Mr. was the small grocer in whose bank deposit the counterfeit had turned up.

I flew to his store as fast B8 a cab could carry me, and found it closed. He had skipped. Afterward it was shown beyond question that he was a regular agent of a gang. His shop was a. mere blind.

That the bill which he gave the carpenter should get back again into his own till after traveling around the continent was one of those miracfY.s of chance for which there is no Orleans Times-Democrat.

GRAIN AND GRAIN PRODUCTS. The Interstate Commerce Commission Renders Its Decision Involving Rales on Export and Domestic Traffic, i Holds That in the Absence of Some Justifying Reason It Would Not Be Right for American Railroads to Permanently Transact Business for Foreigners at a Less Rate Than That for Corresponding Services for American Citizens. WASHINGTON, Aug. Interstate Commerce Commission to-day announced its decision in a case involving relative rates on export and domestic ti attic in grain and grain products. The commission holds ihat in the absence of some justifying reason it would not be right for American railroads to permanently transact business for foreigners at a less rate than that for corresponding service to American citizens.

As to rates on exports and domestic shipments of grain the commission declares: "Market conditions sometimes, in case of wheat, but seldom in case of corn, may justify an export rate through the port of New York somewhat lower than the domestic rate, and Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News usually take rates which are certainly deferentials below the New York rate on both domestic and export traffic. During the period of closed lake navigation the export and domestic grain rates to New York and other ports mentioned should ordinarily be the same. Rates to other ports, including Boston and ports in the Atlantic north of Boston and Galveston, New Orleans and other Gulf ports may perhaps be properly made lower on export than on domestic traffic to encourage them to compete for the export business. "Such adjustment of rates should be to the advantage of the carrier and just aiike to the American consumer and to the American producer. But as the problem is primarily one for the carriers rather than this commission, no order is made in relation to this branch of the case.

But the export grain rates should not be less to the seaboard from any port than from an intermediate point of the same line." As to the rates on export flour as compared with export wheat, the commission holds that public policy and good railway policy alike seem to require the same rate on export wheat and export flour, but in view of the conditions shown in the investigation a somewhat higher rate on export flour than on export wheat is not in violation of that statute. The published difference in rates is too wide, and the rate on flour for export should not exceed that upon export wheat by more than 2 cents per hundred pounds. The relation of rates on domestic shipments of flour and wheat is not involved in this direction, as the export of domestic freights are handled under different conditions. It further appeared that carriers engaged in the transportation of export flour from Minneapolis at a rate which vas 2 cents less than the domestic rate to the port of export refuse to make any corresponding concession to intermediate millers. The commission says that this is an unjust and unlawful discrimination against such intermediate traffic, and that whatever line participates in such lower export on flour from Minneapolis must make a corresponding rate upon a similar traffic from intermediate points.

The commission also decides that rates on export traffic must be published and filed In accordance with the provisions of Section 6, Interstate Commerce Act. It is further held that socalled through export rates made by adding the ocean rate, whatever it may be, to the inland rail rate, whatever it may be, are not analogous to rates made by joint arrangements between railroad carriers subject to the statute in the sense that the total rate must be published and filed, and it is enough if the railroad carrier publishes and maintains its own rate to the seaboard. But if there is in fact such a joint arrangement that the rate is a joint rate under the sixth section of the Act to regulate commerce, then the entire through rate should be published, and not the inland division, which, in that case, might vary while the entire rate remains the same. FIRST HOME OF HUMAN RACE. Location of the Garden of Eden Fixed by an Engineer.

The distinguished explorer, Major Seton Karr, has left Aden for Somaliland in his search for the precise position of the Garden of Eden. Henry M. Stanley's views on the matter, as set forth in his wonderful account of his explorations, has long since led many archaeologists to transfer their allegiance from the long-accepted site in Asia to the valley of the Shari. w. Marsham Adams, the distinguished authority in paleography, disagrees with Major Karr in placing the site of the gai th in the valley itself, but agrees as to the vicinity, maintaining that the immediately adjoining plateau of Central Africa was the cradle of the human race.

It has been proved beyond all doubt that the territory of Eden was not a district through which four rivers had their full course, but was essentially a watershed, containing a single river and four "heads." This description exactly corresponds with the great basin of Central Africa, which contains the single river, the Shari, and the heads of four great Zambesi, the Niger, the Nile and the Congo. And in the eastern part of this plateau "covering 3,000 square miles of the most gloriously beautiful land in the world." is a paradise full of all kinds of animal life. Stanley describes it as being likely, from certain rocky eminences which lie to the eastwaid of the ba.sin of the Shari. The location almost exactly coincides with the description evolved from the later readings. In the ceaseless war between the adherents of Scripture and the adherents of science any discovery which may throw a new light on the truth or falsity of the Pentateuch is eagerly perused.

According to the scriptural account our first parents went forth from Eden toward the East. This would just correspond with the most natural course, leaving the valley of the Shari, which would be to follow the course of Bahr-el-Ghazel, which trends slightly to the eastward before turning toward the south. From here, as the human family continued to multiply, the migrations would gradually reach up the parts about Somaliland. This is now generally acknowledged by the Egyptologists to coincide with the land of Poone, the sacred land to which the people of the Ptolemys ever looked back as the land of their origin. Still further down the Nile we come to the Island of Meroes, where according to Josephus, when a commanding General, in behalf of his master of Egypt, gained an overwhelming victory over the inhabitants of the Soudan and where the famous French explorer Cailland discovered, the ruins of Assur.

Each of these points would lead to the confirmation of the Scriptures, a most important point to either the Christian or the historiographer. It is also a pleasing reflection to consider that the armies of modern Egypt, she in whose service so many races struggled and won, now hold, perhaps finally, the territories over which those to whom is attributed the Pentateuch strove and Enquirer. Caused Her Tears. Perhaps no Queen has been the recipient of more amusing letters than Margherita of Italy, nor can any member of royalty better appreciate a joke than her majesty. A little note which found its way into the royal correspondence recently has afforded no end of fun and has gone the rounds of the court.

It appears that while taking a promenade not long ago in a Roman suburb the Queen's attention was attracted by a rosy cheeked, chubby little girl. She called her her side, and, commencing to chat with her, inquired of the child what she could do in the way of needlework. "I can knit stockings, signora," came the confident reply. "Do you know who I am?" "Yes, signora; you are the Queen." "Well, them make me a pair of stockings and send them to the palace." The stockings must have been knit on magic needles, for very soon afterward they arrived, and the Queen, admiring them, sent the girl by way of reward a pair of rose colored stockings, one containing bonbons, the other money. The next evening brought the letter to which I referred, for it was from the little knitter, and acknowledged in a most terse and childish way the Queen's present: "Signora: Your gift has caused me tears.

My father collared the money, my elder brother the sweets and my mother put the stockings on Correspondence Chicago Record. Fish being rich in phosphorous and phosphorous being the essential thing in making matches, it therefore stands to reason that girls should be partial to a fish diet. The Boy Who Didn't. "Please, sir," said the office "may I get away this afternoon?" "What's wrong?" asked the (Heat financier; "is your grandmother dead?" Little Willie had been taught that honesty was always the best policy. He was a good boy.

He never sneaked stamps frcm his employer, and he le threw the pretty typewriter into fits by whispering to her that he had just seen a mouse scoot under her desk. Being a truthful boy, little Willie replied: "No, sir. I ain't got no grandmother, but the club that's in first place is goin' to play here to-day, and I'd like to see the game." The old gentleman stared at him helplessly for a moment, and then drew from his pocket $2, which he handed to the boy. Ah, reader, you have already guessed that the great man felt in duty bound to encourage such frankness wait. "Here," said Henry Hardrocks, "here's your week's wages.
