CHAPTER XIV.
wa^that [continued.] Hcn-Ko-Hu^uld
My hope
make the mistake of sending a small
force, which he would not do if the
alarm-bells were heard all over Tal¬
mooch.
I sent word to Ba!o-Ror to gather
about six hundred of his bravest men,
and wait with them in tho forest
about Bromporrah until tho forces of
Hen-Ko-Hi had passed them on the
wav to Galneor, then to follow them
down and attack their rear while we
were engaging in their front.
The men at Galneor were set to
build a fort. In this the women ren¬
dered valuable assistance. They were
eager enough to help.
I sent a messenger into the cave
for my uniform and sword. For rea¬
sons of myown„I did not wish to meet
Miss Arnold then.
It was late in the afternoon when
we heard the hurried tramp of horses'
hoofs,
The fort was built on that side of
Galneor nearest Bromporrah. In it I
placed all the women at hand, and a
force of soldiers nndev Oso-Bark. To
the right of the fort I stretched a line
of ambush through the woods. The
force thus detailed was under the
command of Garu-Saak. To the left
1 stretched a similar line, and took
command myself. We thus formed a
funnel, the apex of which was the
fort, and into the mouth of which led
the Street of the Invaders.
Tho sound of hoofs was most wel¬
come. My men were becoming impa
tient for the fight to begin. The shouts
of the cavalry could now be heard. It
was Tartar cavalry. This fact was
surprising. The presence of these
lawless horsemen so far away from
their usual haunts was unexpected.
It mado me urge my men more fierce¬
ly, although it was not necessary.
But the reputation of the Tartar as a
fighter is pretty well established, and
I knew we had hot work before us.
There were two battalions, prob¬
ably four hundred all told. On they
came, galloping furiously, utterly ig¬
norant of the trap that was waiting
for them.
When the head of the column en¬
tered the funnel formed by my forces,
I gave the order to fire.
A thousand rifles blazed forth a
simultaneous flash, one quick, sharp
flash, and all was still again.
Tho startled Tartars checked theii
horses. Numbers of them fell from
their plunging stee Is and lay groan¬
ing and dying on the ground.
Hoarse cries came from their offi¬
cers. Their commander was a man
who knew not the sensation of fear.
He sat his horse like a statue, urging
his men to rally. Gradually they
overcame their stupor and got to¬
gether.
Once more I gave the order to fire,
and once more the rifles poured their
deadly hail upon the cavalry. Horses
and men (vent down together. For a
moment it seemed as if they could nol
rally again. The sudden, mysterious
attack was too much for them. They
were in an open road, while wo were
so hidden that they could not tell oui
numbers or our location.
But I heard the clatter of fresh
hoofs. Another battalion was rid¬
ing up. •
A cry of warning came from the be¬
wildered cavalrymen, who had al¬
ready tasted two charges of lead, and
and the decimated ranks fell back on
the reinforcements.
A Bhort consultation between the
commanding officers followed, and the
two commands separated. One
seemed about to hold t-heir present
position, and were replacing their
sabres with carbines. Tbe other por¬
tion made a detour to the right, and
started for Galneor past our rear.
Giving my commands quickly, I led
my men as fast as they could go
through the trees that surrounded us.
The cavalry were slowly working
their way, and we soon confronted
them and opened fire. This time they
rose to the occasion. As one man
they leaped from their horses and
charged ns with their carbines. At
the same moment I heard firing from
the other side, and knew that Garu
Saak bad reopened on the other bat¬
talions.
My men fought desperately, but the
Tartars were moro than a match foi
them. We wore gradually driven
back, and I began to despair of win¬
ning the battle. I had calculated on
the forces from Bromporrah attacking
the enemy in the rear, but it looked
as if it would be too late. Defeat
stared us in the face, and defeat
meant death.
Suddenly the air was rent by a great
war-cry. Hundreds of rifles barked
their venomous voices in the rear of
the Tartars. The Kalek battle-cry
was hurled through the forest with
the shouts of victory.
Bado-Ror had come up.
From this point it was simply a
question of how long the Tartars
would continue to fight before they
fledor became wiped out. Hand in
hand the men of Galneor and the men
of Bromporrah fought the enemies ol
their country.
And before the terrific onslaught ol
victorious revenge even Tartars could
not stand.
Finally the remnant of the once
proud csTfdry turned and fled,
THE RECORD
I did not follow them; wo woul.
have plenty to do without that.
Garu-Saak came running to me, am
from the fort came Oso-Bark, followei
by a shouting crowd of women.
“One battle -won,” I said, as nr
generals reached my side, “Hov
many men have we lost?”
“About one hundred of mine,”sai.
Garu-Saak.
“I lost none,” said Oso-Eark.
About fifty of my own men wev
missing, and I counted them as dead
I at once sent men to pick up tb
wounded and give them proper enrt
We found four hundred and seven
ty-live Tartars dead or dying in tn
woods and in the road.
“Garn-Saak,” I said, after I lia
looked the situation over, “we are nc
half done. The fight has but jn>
commenced. Order the nlarrn bel
rung at once and call the entire arn,
to arms.”
“Sir, it shall be done at once," h
replied.
Bado-Ror reported to me, and the
went back to bis own forces. He ha
[ 0 st but few men.
From tho great bells I had ordere
placed in the trees an alarm rangoni
Pke call to arms clanged in every po
(ion of the island, wherever a Jumni
pr a Iialek dwelt.
From every direction men came run
nlug in.
Before morning I had an army c
twelve thousand armed and drilloi
toldiers, und as many more men ready
:o pick up their arms ns fast as
.bullets of *he enemy left a gun un¬
manned.
Before daybreak the women pre
pared breakfast bf coffee and rice and
fruit; and I sent a note to Miss Ar¬
nold and Mr. Avery, telling them o!
(ho events of the night and that wt
were on our way to Qniental.
I had no’intentiou of attacking the
walled city. I had no cannon. I knew
that inside the walls there was heavy
artillery. To attack a fortress likt
that with rifles was foolhardy. I knew
that Hen-Ko-Hi would send his army
to put down the rebellion of his sub¬
jects. And it was this army I was on
my way to meet.
As we inarched toward Quiental, we
passed through Brompoorah, and the
women came out of their houses and
followed the army out of town signing
war-songs and encouraging the men.
Between Brompoorah and Quiental
the narrow road broadened out into e
wide plain. Here I ordered a halt.
My army had not yet come to res!
when I ,„heard the bugles of the ad¬
vancing toe.
I hastily arranged my forces in
much the same way that I had don*
before. Twelve thousand well-armec
men are a goodly force when in close
files and ranks. But when scattered
around in ambush they seemed a vast
multitude. It was a delightful recep¬
tion we were preparing for the gover¬
nor’s army.
Garu-Saak and his men lavup along
the eastern border of the plain. Bado
Ror and his brave Kaleks ranged along
tbe western border. The southern
end was formed by a detachment of
Jumars and Kaleks under Oso-Bark.
I was with Garu-Saak.
To a person coming from the north,
as were the soldiers of Hen-Ko-Hi, not
a Jumar or a Kalok could be seen un¬
til the flanks of Garu-Saak and Bado
ftor had been passed.
■ The head of the advancing column
came into view. Generals in gaudy
uniforms, riding snow-white horses,
led the way. After them, the infan¬
try. The cavalry of Quiental had beer
destroyed.
As the column drew nearer, I lookec
in vain for Hen-Ko-Hi. That worthy
was careful enough not to expose hie
lighting precious carcass going wne.n however there was any
on, bravo he
might be when a crowd of women
Were to be subjugated. He was nol
with his army.
When the head of the advancing
column had reached the center of the
plain, I gave the order to fire,
i The roar of the rifles swept alon;
the line.
! First Garu-Saak poured his deadly
(ire into the enemy from the east.
Then Bador-Ror and his Kaleks dealt
them a blow from the other side. Then
the storm from the rifles of Oso-Bork
met them in their very faces.
Volley after volley was poured intc
the rapidly decreasing army, ana t"n<
generals seemed to be utterly lost.
Suddenly I lost my command of my
army, and ceased to be a factor in th<
fight.
The war-cry of the Kaleks rang out
again, and Bado-Ror was seen advanc¬
ing toward the Chinamen on a ran.
The entire armyof Jumars and Kaleki
threw aside all thoughts of safety, anc
rushing out on the plain, resolved it
self into a great circle which wenl
roiling around the enemy like a ser¬
pent.
An endless ring of blazing rifflee
jwept around the doomed Mantchoos,
and above the roar sounded the cry ol
factory. and alone,
I stood silent a mere
spectator of the thrilling scene.
1 The Mantchoos did not know ho\t
to attack this revolving volcano oj
death and fire. They formed a solid
square, but their firing was desultory
aud uncertain. The result of this was
obvious.
Nor could it long be postponed.

down, the merciless shouts ot the Tal
moochians reached my ears.
The endurance of the native army
would hold out forever, it seemed; I
wondered how muoh longer theyoould
keep ty> that gait.

the forces of Satan as to preach mercy
to those men of Talmooch.
The pent-up hatred of twenty years
Jhad broken forth, and I was power¬
less before it.
When it was over, there wore two
thousand Talmooohians dead upon the
plain, anffehe entire army of Hen-Ko
Hi.
We had won.
Mr. Avery, Miss Arnold and myself
were free. The people of Talmooch
were again a nation, and I was for the
time its ruler. The tyrant and his
court were still at Qniental, but they
could not hold the garrison against us
now.
Garu-Saak, Bado-Ror and Oso-Bark
came running toward me, and the air
was rent with cheers.
“Free! Free!” cried Garu-Saak,
grasping my nana. **iou nave maae
ns free. Yon are king of Talmooch.”
“I am—possibly. But before we
go any further into that, let us get to
Quiental and fiuish our work.”
“Yes, yes,” said Bado-Ror. “We
must hang—we must catch the tyrant
before he makes his escape. He is
the greatest prize of all."
I dispatched a messenger once more
to Galneor, to inform Mr. Avery and
Miss Arnold of our last great victory.
“Go quickly,” I said to the man.
“Tell them the news of the new glory
jf Talmooch, and bring them to me at
mce. You will find me at the palace
>f Quiental.”
CHAPTER XV.
AFTER THE CONQUEST.
The palace at Quiental stood at the
northern end of the city. Therefore
it stood at the most northerly point of
^Talmooch, extremity for Quiental of the was island. the north¬ The
ern
palace was not quite up to the modern
idea of what a palace should be, but
it was strongly built, and, in its way,
imposing. It was solid, square and
Strong. It had towers and turrets.
It was surrounded by a large park.
That end of the castle facing the
iitreet was, ot course, tne tront, but
the facade of the opposite end was
precisely similar, and faced the sea.
From this end the ground sloped away
to the frowning battlements that ren¬
dered Quiental a wonderfully well for¬
tified city.
The streets of Quiental were nar¬
row. The more pretentious houses
weie of stone. Thero were bazars,
coffee-houses, gambling places, tea
irinking rooms and all other places
genfrally to bo found in a Chinese
faty.
I had little to do with the formal
:aking of Quiental, I left to Garu
■laak the duty of proclaiming the end gov¬
ernment of Hen-Ko-Hi at an as
well as of securing Hen-Ko-Hi and
»U those who were close to him in his
tyrannical despotism, Just what to
do with the monster I did not know,
and ordered him placed in a dungeon
until I had come to some decision as
to his fate.
Accompanied by Oso-Bark I went
to the palace aud awaited the arrival
of Mr. Avery and Miss Arnold.
I sincerely regret that I cannot do
justice to the meeting between Han
kannan and her sou Gorgret. I did
pot even linger to gaze upon them in
their mutual embraces. There was
something sacred in that never-dying
love that bade me leave thefa to them¬
selves.
I wandered through the wide halls
of the palace, and found a curious
commingling of national arts. The stone
castle bad been built years before,
by the Kaleks. The architecture, the
workmanship aud tbe inside moldings
and carvings were distinctly theirs,
but the furniture and equipments were
Chinese. The combination was not
nnpleasiug, and the change from the
dark underground home I had known
so long was very grateful. The only
unpleasant feature about the palace
was the painfully apparent evidences
of opium. Everything was redolent
of the drusr.
When Mr. Avery and Miss Arnold
joined me, I had explored nearly every
department in the palace, and I es¬
corted each of them to the rooms I
had selected for them. Miss Arnold,
still accompanied by her faithful
jjuinar of woman, the equal was in shown comfort into and a suite ele¬
rooms
gance to any in Pekin.
Gorgret initiated his mother into
the mysteries of the palace kitchen,
and under her experienced manage¬
ment the place was made moro habit¬
!per, able by the production of a good sup
jbroad after which we went out on a
balcony to listen to the shouts
of the multitude who had not re¬
covered from the excitement of victory,
and were making things very lively in
IQuiental. the
Beacon fires blazed on moun¬
tains and in the valley. From Quien¬
tal to Galenor the Bky was lighted by
these flaming tokens of regained su¬
premacy of the people. Everywhere
we could hear my name. Even now
the exultant Talmoochians gave me all
the credit for tbe victory.
“How does 'it feel to be a kiag?"
asked Mr. Avery. “I never was on
such intimate terms with one be¬
fore.”
I “Now,” I replied, “it is time to
{drop iking. all I such don’t nonsense. to be I king. am not All »
want
I want now is to get Miss Arnold,
you and myself away from here, find
Miss Arnold’s father and then com¬
municate with my friends, Langston
and Ralston, who are now without
doubt in San Francisco.”

ARMY OFFICERS
GET EXTRA PAY
Senator Bacon’s Resolution Brings
Out the Fact. v.
ADMISSION IS FRANKLY MADE
Secretary Root Says They Deserve
Double Compensation—Wash¬
ington Post Criticises.
A Washington special says: Sena¬
tor Bacon’s resolution calling for facts
about extra compensation paid to army
officers in high stations in Cuba was
adopted by the senate Saturday, as
was the other one on the same line
calling for the details of certain elabor¬
ate expenditures said to have been
made in fitting up quarters f< r the
American representatives in Havana.
The introduction of the resolutions,
and their consideration, brought forth
not only a lively discussion in the
senate, in which some startling ad¬
missions were made, but it brought
from the secretary of war the admis¬
sion that the allegations are true.
Secretary Root is quoted as admit¬
ting that American army officers now
occupying administrative positions in
Cuba, are drawing additional salaries
of Cuban revenues.
The Washington Post, referring to
the matter, says:
“Most surprising of the misuse of
this Cuban money is that it has had
the sanction of the administration, as
represented by the president aud Sec¬
retary Root. The Cubans have, of
course, been powerless. They have
not even been consulted. Tho United
States is in control of the island, and
so in the pockets of American army
officers thousands of dollars of Cuban
revenues merely jingle, alongside of
the dollars regularly paid to these offi¬
cers ns their legal salaries.”
This act, which is in direct conflict
with the specilio law which provides
that no annv officer shall receive ex¬
tra compensation by pointing out that
it has only gone to a few, and that the
money which went to these favored few
came from the revenues of Cuba, and
not from the funds for the payment of
army officers’ salaries.
Senator Baoon says he will push the
investigation vigorously, as he pro¬
poses to get to the bottom of these
charges. Secretary Root, in admitting
the facts, also stated that the officers
who were doubly paid, were worth more
than their salaries from this govern¬
ment, and this he considered an ex¬
tenuating circumstance.
TAYLOR SEES ROOSEVELT.
Kentucklun Appeals to Governor of New
York For Protection.
The New York World publishes the
following in Sunday’s issue: W. S.
Taylor, governor of Kentucky, is in
New York in consequence of the find¬
ing of an indictment against him by
the grand jury of Frankfort, charging
him with being an accessory before the
faotto the murder of William E. Goe¬
bel. He appealed to Governor Roose¬
velt asking that any demand for extra¬
dition be denied. The interview be¬
tween the governor of Kentucky and
the governor of New York lasted for
an hour and a half, Tlio utmost se
crecy was observed.
According to a Frankfort dispatch
the indictment against tbe Republican
Governor Taylor,charged with being an
accessory to the murder, will be held
up till after the argument of the gov¬
ernorship contest cast, which is dock¬
eted for hearing before tho supreme
court at Washington, April 30tb, and
it is said by persons in the councils of
the prosecution that no steps will be
taken in the case till after that time.
The rumor that Governor Reckham
had been applied to for a requisition
is without foundation.

HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT BILL.
The Measnre Calls Out Sharp Criticism In
th© Senate.
A Washington dispatch says: The
senate had under consideration during
the greater part of Friday’s session
the conference report on tho Hawaiian
civil government measure. Senator
Cnllom made an extended explanation
of the changes in the bill. The report
was the subject of sharp criticism,

Cobb Left Light Millions.
Letters testamentary in the estate
of the late Silas P. Cobb were filed at
Chicago Monday. The testate* left
an estate valued $8,000,000.
BOLTED CONVENTION.
Tennessee Republicans Will 5end
Two Sets of Delegates to
Philadelphia.
A Nashville special says: The ex¬
pected split in the Tennessee State Re¬
publican Convention came Friday with
the result that not only were two dele¬
gations sent to the Philadelphia con¬
vention, but two full state tickets
were nominated, two platforms adopt¬
ed and two state committees named.
The Evans men were patient to the
supreme moment and exhausted their
resources for getting what they called
fair treatment before choosing the on¬
ly alternative of bolting or submitting.
The convention sat for two hours
awaiting the report of the committee
on credentials, which had worked all
night Thursday. This committee
finally reported at noon Friday, recom¬
mending the seating of the Brownlow
delegation in twenty-three counties,
the Evans delegation in one county,
and that both delegations be seated
and the votb divided into twelve coun¬
ties.
A minority report, favoring the seat¬
ing of the Evans delegations in nine¬
teen counties -was presented, and a
motion to substitute the minority for
the majority report was voted on
without debate,, the vote being ayes,
163; noes, 309.
As soon as this result was announced
Colonel W. S. Tipton hurried to the
rear of the hall, and after a moment’s
consultation with Newell Sanders,
Evans’ manager, returned and called
upon all of Evans’ friends and all the
delegates who were for the fair thing
to leave the hall. The majority of the
Evans delegates left and proceeded to
the lower floor of the capitol, where
Colonel Tipton made a speech, telling
how Turneyism in Tennessee and Goe*
belism in Kentucky had been outdone.
A band, which was on hand, then
struck up a lively tune and the hun¬
dred or so delegates who had quit the
hall and the four hundred or more who
had been refused admission, marched
to the Amusement hall and organized
mother convention.
“SENSELESS AND SILLY.”
I'h i-lfttlan Science la So Characterised By
llevcrend Vance.
A sensation marked tile first session
iho Christian Endeavors’ convention
in Atlanta, Ga., Thursday night. Rev.
James I. Vance, of Nashville, in the
course of an able strrnon, attacked the
Christian Scienists’ creed vigorously
and condemned it as senseless and
silly.
Dr. Vance made an allusion in his
remarks which is believed to be at
least a partial endorsement of Dr. Hil-
1 is’ and Dr. Parkburst’s attack on the
Westminster confession of faith. He
said:
“I want to say that I do not delieve
we should be held back from truth by
a dead hand. The modern conception
of God is truer, I believe, than it has
ever been before. If I am cliDging
to any faith that can be torn down by
the light of truth, the sooner I find it
out tbe better it will be for me.”
Referring to Christian Scientists, he
said:
“How do you explain that so many
senseless and silly isms get so many
followers? Any creed can get a fol¬
lowing these days. If a man should
say that dropping off this house and
falling on tho hard flag stones below
is the only way to salvation some peo¬
ple would drop off the house to be
saved. Take, for example, Christian
Science. Can you explain how it is
that sensible people can bring them¬
selves to believe in such a creed as
that ? I believe it is because they
have never been able to establish them¬
selves in God’s doctrine.”
The preacher took for his text the
tenth verse of the fifth chapter of first
Peter, and founded on it his subject:
“God’s Altar Stairs to Perfection.”
He referred to the admirable faith of
the Boers in the South African war.
“Whatever side we are in sympathy
with,” he said, “we cannot help but
admire the Boers for their sublime
faith in their God."
Commercial Congress Ended.
The eleventh annual session of the
Trans-Mississippi Commercial con¬
gress adjourned at Houston, Texas,
Friday afternoon to meet next year in
Cripple Creek, Col. A plan was
adopted for the organization of the
congress on a permanent basis.
RAILROADS HONOR EMPLOYE.
All HusinesR Sa*pen<le<l While Body Wai

The Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis and Western and Atlantic rail¬
roads paid a last tribute to the mem¬
ory of Superintendent of Motive Power
James Cullen, who died in Nashville
Thursday night, and was buried Sat¬
urday at noon.
While the funeral ceremonies at the
grave were being conducted and the
body was being lowered into the
grave, business of all kinds was sus¬
pended absolutely on the 1,300 miles
of the railroad system that Mr. Cullen
had served so long and so faithfully.
Mammoth Bridge Wrecked.
A Scranton, Miss., dispatch says:
One-half of the L. and N.’s magnifi¬
cent bridge over the the West Pas¬
cagoula river is gone, and if the wind
shifts the bridge will be totally de¬
stroyed. The wreck of the structure
now is bad, and it will require muoh
time to repair it.
Boers Reinforced at Wepener.
Latest advices Rtate that Boers
around Wepener have been reinforced
and.are now stronger than ever.
SENATORCLARK
MUST GET OUT
Report of Elections Committee Is
Submitted to Senate.
HIS SEAT IS DECLARED VACANT
Resolution to Fire Montana Man
Unanimously Recommended
By the Committee.
A Washington special says: Senator
Chandler, from the senate committee
on privileges and- elections, submitted
to the senate Monday the report of
that committee in the case of Senator
Clark, of Montana. The report says:
“The finding of the committee is,
that the election to the senate of Wil¬
liam A. Clark, of Montana, is null and
void on account of briberies, attempt¬
ed briberies and corrupt practices by
his agents, and of violation of tho
laws of Montana defining and punish¬
ing crimes against the elective fran¬
chise.”
Tho committee unanimously recom¬
mends the adoption by the senate of
the following resolution:
“Resolved, That William A. Cla’^i
was not duly and legally elected to a
seat in the senate of the United States
by the legislature of the state of Mon¬
tana.”
The report concludes:
“The senate should, as a duty to it¬
self and to the country, demonstrate
by its action in this case that seats in
the United States senate procured as
Senator Clark’s has been procured
cauuot bo retained by the deliberate
judgment of the senate. The senate
also owes a duty to the people of Mon¬
tana, who, conscious of the bad re¬
pute into which the state has fallen by
reason of vast expenditures of money
in connection with its elections, mani¬
fested such a public sentiment that
the legislature of 1895 passed a stat¬
ute which, if obeyed, would have re¬
deemed the state from its bad name.
Montana lias a right to expect a
prompt and decisive remedy from the
action of the senate upon the report of
this committee.”
Tho findings are based on the fol¬
lowing admitted aud undisputed facts
appearing in the testimony:
“1. The expenditures in the contest
of 1895 as testified to by Senator
Clark and Governor Hauser.
“2. The law of 1895 relative to
crimes against the elective franchise,
limiting tho purpose and amount of
political expenditures in any election.
“3. Sennt&r Clark has been con¬
stantly a candidate for office.. The
organization of a committee in his in¬
terest in the summer of 1898, to which
the report says: ‘He gave unlimited
authorited to spend money which he
agreed to furnish; an estimate, how¬
ever, being made that at least $35,000
would be necessary to secure the state
convention aud that $75,0()0 might be
needed to secure the state legislature.
“4. In the cauvass which ensHed
the approximate expenditures admit¬
ted by the various members of“ : liis
committee, and their assistants, were
as follows: By Charles W. Clark,
$25,000; by McDermott, $22,000; by
Davidson, agent, $22,300; by Well¬
come, $25,000; by Corbett; $5,0p0;
by Whitmore, $4,000; by Cooper,
$2,900, mainly furnished by Charles
W. Clark, and the amount cf these
expenditures Senator Clark himself
paid to his son. The advances and
payments made by Senator Clark to
bis committee and agents, as admit¬
ted by him, amounted to about $139,
000 .
“5. None of the members of his
committee or their assistants made
the sworn returns required by law,
nor did Senator Clark himself make
any return.”
Sections 6 to 15 deal with the busi¬
ness transactions of Mr. Clark and his
representatives with members of the
legislature.
Nicaragua Ilill Day.
In the bouse Monday upon the re¬
quest of Mr. Hepburn, unanimons
consent was given to set aside May 1

Nicaragua canal bill.
TO USE DOG TAX.
Atlanta, Ga., May Soon Boast of An Up
to-I>ate “Pasteur Institute.”
A “Pasteur Institute” seems p,
probability for Atlanta, Ga. The re¬
port of the Georgia Medical Associa¬
tion to investigate with a view to
establishing a Pasteur laboratory in
that city, was adopted by the Georgia
Medical Association.
The committee was instructed to
