expedition of, 10,000 men In Upper
Borneo. The expedition was sent Up
tho Batang Lubar river, Borneo, to
punish the head hunters. When It
started June 10, it was composed ot
816 boats. By June 14 it was reduced
to 40 boats, owing to desertions and
the fear of the cholera. By June 10

occurred. The remnants of the ex
pedition, however, successfully fought
the head hunters, and returned to Singapore.

A dispatch from London under date
of June 8, says: In the house of com
mons today the parliamentary secre
tary to the admiralty, H. C. Arnold
Forster, replying to William Red
mond, the. Jrish leader, confirmed the
report that J, P. Morgan had offered
to place all the British ships in the
new combine at the disposed of the
admiralty for the next fifty years on
certain terms. Hq added that the offer
had not yet been accepted, because IL
could only be dealt with In relation to
British shipping generally and tho Atlantic-
trade position which was be

government.
An Omaha .papqjr contains an in
teresting story under date of July S,
as follows: Linden Tree, the fine
Arabian horse presented by 'the Sultan
of Turkey to General. Grant, died today
at the farm of Gen.. L. W. Colby of
Beatrice, Neb., aged 33 years. Gen
eral Grant met the Sultan of Turkey
during his tour around the world, and
on his return homo the sultan sent
him the finest specimen of the pure
Arabian horse that was to be obtained.
The horse later was purchased by Gen
eral Colby of Beatrice. He was used
as a saddle animal for several years,
but since he became too old to be of
practical value has been tenderly
cared for.
A report from Pretoria, South Afri
ca, under d,ate of July 7, says: Lord
Kitchener's valedictory to the troops,
dated June 25, after extolling the con
duct of the British soldiers in the face
of great hardships and difficulties, and
against daiijgerous and elusive antag
onists, commends the kindly and hu
mane spirit displayed in all ranks
and concludes:
"This message would be incomplete
if no references were made to the
soldierly qualities displayed through
out the campaign by our quondam
enemies and the admirable spirit
shown in carrying, out the surrender.
"Many of those who contended un
til the end have- expressed the hope
that they may have in the future an
opportunity to serve side by side with
his majesty's fqrees."
A dispatch from Carbondale, 111.,
under date of July 10, says: Anotfier
midnight attack has been made at
Eldorado, Saline county, where sev
eral days ago a mob broke up the col
ored Normal and Industrial school
and drove the teachers and students
away; and caused forty of the colored
citizens to flee, fearing their lives
were in danger. The last attack was
made upon the home of the Rev. Peter
A. Green, who has been the pastor of
the African Methodist Episcopal
church here for over a year, and
whose reputation" in the community la
good. Heretofore he has Tseen consid

The mob consisted of over twenty
whites, and on reaching his home,

Tho answer of the Vatican at Rome

has been received. It is announced'
that tho Vatican will not consont to
their recall from tho Islands and con
cludes with -several proposals, as fol
lows: Tho Vatican's proposals, which
are twelve in number, are that the

the house It was found necessary to
take out tho casing from a doubio win
dow. It required tho services of four-,
teen men to perform, this tank, and
the casket and body together weighed
nearly a thousand pounds.
There was no hearse In tho city
which could carry such an enormous
coffin, and a baggago truck, nicely
draped in black, was used to convey
tho remains to tho cemetery, where it
required tho services of all who could ,
get hold of the coffin to remove it to
the grave sido and lower it.
A dispatch to the St. Louis Repub
lic, under date of Carbondale, III.,
July 7, says: An unusual case of in
surance refundment took place in this
city today when a representative of
an old insurance company presented a
check to Philip Temple, a conductor
on the Galena branch of the Illinois
Central, amounting to $674.73.
Tho family had supposed since 1868
that nothing was coming to them and
had not only forgotten the incident,
but had lost the policy. Besides the
Temple settlement the following
former residents of this city who car
ried policies at tho same time will re
ceive refundments as soon as their
present residence is known: John
Hessick, last heard from at Florence,
Colo., $1,000; David Johnson, last
known at Bedford, Ind., $440.03; Fran
cis A. Yost, last known at Louisville,
Ky $400, and James Franks, la3t
known at Houston, Mo., $927.
A dispatch from Washington under
date of July 7, says: The navy de-r
partment contemplates making a ma
terial reduction of the naval forces on
the Asiatic station in the near future.
While our interests In the east are
most important, it is thought here that
the large number of American war
ships gathered in Chinese and Philip
pine waters is considerably above the
proper ratio. The plans, it is said, con
template ordering at least one of the
flag commanders on the "Asiatic sta
tion to other duty. Rear Admiral
Rogers, at present the commander-in-chief
of tho station, has been in
Asiatic waters about a year and a
half, while Rear Admirals Evans and
Wild, senior and Junior squadron
commanders respectively, have been
on the station only about half a year.
Ships brought to the United States
probably will include only a few if
any of the largest vessels now sta
tioned there. A considerable number
of small cruisers and gunboats will
be ordered to this country.
A dispatch to the St. Louis Republic
from Mexico, Mo., under date of July
7, says: Funeral services over the
remains of Thomas Board, the largest
man in this section of Missouri, were
conducted from the late residence in
this city this morning. Members of
the family today announced the exact
weight of Mr. Board to have been 497
pounds a few days before he was taken
sick.
A special casket was ordered, in
which the remains wore burled, and it
was necessary to carry the dorpse from
the house to tho yard to place It in"
the coffin. To remove the body from
A dispatch from Washington, under
date of July 11, says: Secretary Root
has vaddrnssnd an identical lottcr to
persons complaining that teachers In
tho Philippine schools are attempting
to convert Catholics into Protestanto.
He quotes a cablegram from Acting
Governor Wright denying tho change,
and, in the course of his letter, says:
"It is the purposo of the Philippin9
government to maintain in tho archi
pelago the same kind of free non-sectarian
instruction which exists in tho
United States, and which has proved
to bo for tho interest of religion and
all religions. Tho government means,
so far as It possibly can, to give edu
cation to tho people of tho islands,
and It will do this without any dis
crimination for or against any church
or sect. I think the government of
the Philippines is entitled to ask that
citizens Of the United States shall not
assume, or believe upon mere rumor
and unproved statements, that the
government is not in good faith en
forcing this law, which it has made.'
In regard to the recent arrangements
as .the friars' lands in the Philippines,
a cablegram from Rome, under date of
July 5, -says:
