BRITISH HELD
TRANSPORT
The Tartar Was Not Allowed
Clearance At Hon? Kong.
CLAIMED SHE WAS OVERLOADED
Question of Authority For Deten
tion of the Vessel Assumes An
international Phase.
A Washington dispatch says: The
war department was informed Wed
nesday that the steamship Tartar,
which is returning to the United States
from Manila with a large number of
soldiers on board, was detained at
Hong Kong by the local authorities
because of being overloaded.
Secretary Root had a conference
with the president Wednesday after
noon regarding the matter. When he
returned to the war department he
gave out the following two cable mes
sages as an official statement of the
case:
“HomKow, September 11. —Cor-
bin, Washington: British authorities
refuse to clear Tartar because over- '
crowded; authorize eight twenty four.
“Mitcalf.”
“Milila, September 13.—Adjutant
General, Washington: The Tartar was
sent to Hong Kong to dock, as re
quested by Major Long, no dock be
ing large enough at Nagasaki. She
has capacity for 1,145 men and 111
cabin passengers. She took back
1,244 men and sixty-one cabin passen
gers. On her trip from San Francisco
she carried comfortably 1,145 men and
fifty-five cabin passengers. Otis.”
A private cable message from Hong I
Kong says that on complaint made by
the 400 discharged regulars on board
the Tartar of overcrowding, clearance
was refused. The Twentieth volun
teer infantry, with General Funston,
is aboard the Tartar, but it is under
stood that the volunteers make no
complaint and are anxious to have
clearance granted the ship in order
that they may proceed homeward.
The Tartar is a British ship. She
belongs to the Canadian Pacific Steam
ship company, plying between British
Columbia and Australia. She was
chartered by the quartermasters’ de
partment of the United States army to
carry United States troops, but it is
not believed in Washington that this
charter could in tjuy respect affect her
nationality. She could cease to be a
British ship and become entitled to
American registry only by act of con
gress.
It was slated at the war department
that the Tartar mutter had been re
ferred to Ambassador Choate, which
makes an international question out of
it. The contention of the war depart
ment is that notwithstanding the Tar
tar flies the British flag, being char
tered by the United States govern
ment, the assumption of British au
thority over her is unauthorized.
BEKMUBA STORM SWEPT.
No Lives Reported Lost Rot Damage
Wft# Immense.
A cyclone swept over the island of
Bermuda Tuesday night. Houses
were blown down and others unroofed.
The storm raged the whole of the
night. No lives were lost, but heavy
damage, estimated at $500,000, was
done to public and private property,
fruit and cedar trees. The causeway
■was badly injured and the government
house was damaged.
The storm was the worst known
since the hurricane of 1880. In fact,
many of the inhabitants say it exceed
ed the gale of 1880 in violence.

of the British government of taking any
such steps.

BEETLES AS UNDBBTAKESIS.
When Tb«y Find a Dead Aalaal It la Bur*
led tor Future Use.
People often wonder what becomea
of the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly one is
ever to be seen. The fact Is that they
are burled by beetles, according to Our
Animal Friends. Buchner gives a brief
account of them as follows.
"Several of thorn unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead ani
mal, such as a mouse, a toad, a mole, a
bird, etc. The burial Is performed be
cause the corpse, if left above ground,
would either dry up or grow rotten, or
be eaten by other anlmnls. In all these
cases the young would perish, whereas
the dead body lying in the earth and
withdrawn from the oter air insts very
well. The burying beetles go to work
In a very well-considered fashion, for
they scrape away the earth lying under
the body, so that it sinks Itself deeper
and deeper. When it is deep enough
down it is covered over from above.
If the situation is stony the beetles,
with united forces and great efforts,
drag the corpse to some place more
suitable for burying. They work so
diligently that a mouse, for Instance,
is buried within three hours. But they
often work on for days, so as to bury
the body as deeply as possible. From
large carcasses, such as those of
horses, sheep, etc., they only bury
pieces as large as they can manage.”
There can be no doubt of the intelli
gence of these strange Insects, as a
gentleman discovered in a rather curi
ous way. ell desired to dry a dead
toad, and for that purpose he fastened
it upon the top of an upright stick. The
burying beetles, however, were soon
attracted by the smell, and, finding
that they could not reach the toad,
they undermined the stick, causing It
t,o fa'l with the toad, which was then
duly buried.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot roach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one j
way to cure deafn'tey. and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and whtfn it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the InAam
matlon can be taken out and this tube restored
to Its normal condition, hearing will ba de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten arc
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an In
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A Unci in Ilonilnrno.
We were invited to witness a duel be
tween two natives, one selected from
each army. Hostilities were entirely
suspended for the time being and both
commanders drew up their forces In
battle array to witness the conflict. ,
With few exceptions the soldiers were
a motley crowd, armed with all fash
ions of weapons, not more than 500 on
each side carrying modern firearms. A
few of the leaders were arrayed in gor
geous trappings, reminding one of the
splendor of European commanders,
without the power or wealth whieh
sustained these.
The scene recalled ths days of chiv
alry, though without Its glamour, when
some fearless knight met the mightiest
champion of the enemy in the open
plain, and the ndfctial hatred of the
contending forces was, for the while,
forgotten in admiration of unflinch
ing valor.
At the sound of the trumpet two
stalwart natives, naked to the waist,
rushed into the open space between
the two forces and commenced g most i
savage struggle. They were armed
with short, bluut blades, something
like \he Bowje knife of thj North
American Indian. There was absolute
ly no skill in their use. Just mad, sav
age abandon, slashing each other in
face, arms and breast, till they fell ex
hausted from loss of blood, even then
dragging themselves over the bloody
ground to get one more slash even in
the death struggle.
All this time both armies were shout
ing themselves hoarse, every man
screaming for the success of his chant- j
pion. When all was over they carried
the men away in solemn procession. !
and a herald gave formal notice that
in six hours host titles would be re
sumed. Never was valor wasted in a
more cursed cause; never the sacred
tree of liberty watered with more wan
ton blood. Never can there be a
healthful planing or outgrowth of
freedom in such soil and with such cul
tivation.—Donahoe’s Magazine.
Attar of Rorc.
The rose harvest in Bulgaria and the
distillation of oil of roses are now
completed. The quantity obtained this
year is about two hundred thousand
grammes less than Inst year’s yield,
the decrease being due to the drouth.
Estimating the value of a gramme of
oil of roses at fifty cents, this means a
turnover of SIOO,OOO. The price of at
tar of rose has risen rapidly this year, '
and in all the large towns of Europe
the demand is increasing. Stocks,
therefore, will soon be exhausted. In
Bulgaria the entire quantity at pres
ent stored is estimated at only about
50,000 gramme.
Ozone for Purifying; Water.
The authorities of Lille, France,
have concluded sotoe exhaustive tests
of the efficacy of ozone for purifying
water. They find this method applica
ble on a large scale and superior to any
hitherto used. All pathogenic or saph
rophytlc microbes inhabiting the
waters experimented upon were de
stroyed. After treatment the water is
weakened in organic matter, less liable
to pollution and more palatable.
Dutch Cl.anllae.w a Myth!
Dutch cleanliness! Another common
fallacy! True enough, scrubbing and
washing appear to be the sole occupa
tion of the Dutch housewife; women
and children are always spotless In
their attire, bright and clean ns far as
their persons are exposed to the public
eye; but in Volendam at least —I will
not vouch for the rest of Holland —this
cleanliness is only on the surface, so
much so that artists are positively
tfrald of taking a model to their studio.
That sea water could be used for
bathing never seems to strike the in
telligence of the natives; at least, I do
not think that their dread of water is
merely due to their fear of getting in
direct touch with the unpleasant things
which are floating on the surface of the
Zuyder Zee, among which rotten cab
bage leaves are certainly not the most
objectionable. And what Is the use of
washing and cleaning linen and house
hold utensils from morning to night,
if the water used for the purpose is of
tho nature of the Volendam Canal—a
stagnant pool, the receptacle for the
refuse of the whole village? Milk cans,
table linen, spoons and forks and
plates are dipped indiscriminately Into
this evil-smelling, grimy liquid, which
cannot but nourish the germs of ty
phoid fever and other Infectious dis
eases. That Is the inuch-vaunted
Dutch cleanliness!—Pall Mall Maga
zine.
Mad King’ll Room.
Half way between Munich and Salz
burg is the third castle. Herrenchiem
see, built by Ludwig 11. This great
structure is Incompleted, fortunately
for already overtaxed Bavaria, for no
one could surmise what its cost would
have been. One room alone, the re
nowned bedchamber, could n<»t be
duplicated for less than $1,000,000. The
vaulted celling is one great allegorical
painting, the rounded cornice Is cov
ered with a score of richly framed
mural paintings, the walls are panels
of hammered gold of intricate designs,
and even the floor is of marvelous pat
tern.
The only suggestion of the purpose of
this wonderful room is the $60,000 bed,
with its canopy more magnificent than
any that covers a regal throne. In the
gorgeous dining room be had erected
a disappearing table, which dropped
through the floor when a course was
finished, and in its place came up an
other, set and served. He desired this
so that servants would be unnecessary
in the room, and the most secret state
matters could be discussed in safety.—
