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. NO ACTION BY ENGLAND. British Government Win Take No Official Notice of Dreyfus Verdict. A London special says: While the papers are full of letters from individ uals and several firms announcing their withdrawal from the Paris exposition and urging the goverumet to do like wise, there is no intention upon the part of the British government of taking any such steps. BOYCOTT BILL A CERTAINTY. Conffrcman Levy, of New York, Will Ask Withdrawal of Exhibit. A New York dispatch says: Con gressman Jefferson M. Levy announced Monday that as soon as congress meets he will introduce a resolution in the house withdrawing the support of this government from the Paris exposition on account of the Dreyfus case. New York Methodists Deplore Verdict. At the meeting of the Methodist Preachers’ Association of New York n resolution was unanimously passed deploring “the shameful miscarriage of justice iu the recent condemnation of Captain Dreyfus.” 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.

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.

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.— Ladles’ Home Journal. Do Your Feet Ache and Burn ?
