TROUBLE IN NORTHERN NIGERIA British Fare Rebellion that May Prove of Greater grope Thaa Imagined. CAPE TOWN, March 17. (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) Adwlces from north ern Nigeria Indicate the outbreak of a re bellion there which probably will prove of greater Importance than the so-called con tinual war now being carried on by the German government in Africa. The stretch of country to be protected, the native tribes to be dealt with, tha unhealthfulnesa of the country, make the proposition an ex tremely difficult one to deal with. Ac cording to all accounts tha whole affair results from the appearance of a new Mahdl. No sooner did tho news reach Mr. Hillary, the acting resident of Sokoto, that a Mahdl had arisen than the mounted Infantry with the Maxims were dispatched to the scene of the trouble. Sir Frederick Lugard states that his advices are to the effect that not only the British, but the French, were Involved in the defeat. vSIr Frederick Lugard Is said to believe that he has a force sufficient to put down this latest Nigerian war, but this Is con sidered doubtful by leaders and by those familiar with the Niger river country. Much depends upon the attitude of' the Emirs of Sokoto and Kano and whether they are able to hold tho natives in that section In line. It Is true that Sir Fred erick already has several thousand troops concentrated at Kano, but he may need every man that con be hurried to the frontier. One the situation gets away from him the entire western coast of Africa will be ablaxe. Though the original cutting up of the British force In northern Nigeria was bad enough, scarcely a day passes that mur ders of whites are not reported. Traders are pulling up stakes and hurrying to the fortified cities and towns. However. If this were the only thing the situation might not be so alarming; but it has been one long battle for civil ization In this part of Nigeria, where the garrison of native troops, officered by Englishmen, were massacred by the tribes- en of Sokoto. The trouDle with the na tives has been continuous, and there have been repeated military expeditions for the suppression of risings and the abolition of savagery and barberous native customs and practices. Many white men have met their death In the pursuit of these objects. Some of them have been killed In fights with natives; others have been massacred during sudden risings of tribesmen at dis tant outposts, while still more have fallen victims to the terribly trying climate. Early In l!) an expedition had to be sent against the Munshi tribe, a truculent set of cannibal on the Denue river, which had attacked an isolated Hiltixh fort. They were for the time subdued, but only a few weeks ago they broke out again, thus ad ding td the present complications. In 1W1 an expedition was sent to Kontagora and Blda for the purpose of suppressing trouble caused by native pagan practices and In September of tho same year the Emir of Adamawa turned ostrcperoua and had to be persuaded Into obedience by a small force of troops. The province of Bornu was brought under British control in 1902 by means of a mili tary expedition and In the following year Colonel Morland proceeded against the Emir of Kano and took the town of Kano, together with Sokoto ana Katsena. The sultan of Sokoto fled, but was pursued by Captain Sword and Anally killed after con siderable severe fighting. In 1904 another expedition was rendered necessary against the Okhoto tribe, which had murdered Cap tain O'Reardon and Mr. Amyatt Burney, and except for the reported rising of th Munshls there has been peace and order in this section of the country ever since.

East Asiatic and some of the Standard Oil teamen, all of which are ur.der tha English flag and the Hamburg-American line. The freight rates between South Asia and Amer ica have been greatly advanced. This is a move on the part of ths European shipping conference to aid English and German deal era In East Indian products to regain con trol of the business, which they have been gradually losing. The consul believes that what is needed throughout the orient is an American line of steamers under the American flag, running from New York through the Sues canal, entirely Independ ent ot any combination. Reports From Other Plarrs. . Conaul Ifft haa reported to the bureau of manufactures from Chatham, Canada, on the subject of the future wood supply of this continent, bearing specially on the devastation of American forests. He quoted a Canada authority as saying that the matured timber of the Dominion amounta to only 632,000,000,000 feet, which the United States could use up In eleven years at the present rate of consumption. Consul General Miller, of Yokohama, makes a report on the valuable timber in Hakkaldo, the northermost Inland of Japan, which la covered with huge oak, curly ash, blrdseye maple and other hardwoods. He believes that a good trade between the Pa clflo coast and Hakkaldo could bs built up by utilising ships that are taking fish from Alaaka to carry timber aa return cargo. He eatlmatea that America could secure annually there, 5,000,000 fset of oak with other woods in proportion.

CANAL BILL IS IN DOUBT President May Havo to Carry Oat His Own Idea la Regard to Type. ' ' WASHINGTON, March 17. The aenate committee on interoceanle canal heaid with many misgivings the reported state ment by Representative Hepburn that tho house committee would not be willing to accept the senate hearings to determine the type of canal to be constructed across the Isthmus of Panama. This is taken as an Indication that congress will not be able to agree upon a bill deciding tha type of the waterway unless the session of con gress Is long continued. In the event that no bill is passed the appropriations committee undoubtedly would report the amount necessary to carry on the work until the next session, and the canal commission would proceed with the construction of a lock canal under the plana advocated by the minority of the Board of Consulting Engineers. President Roosevelt, In his message trans mitting to congress the reports of th ma jority and the minority of the board, said that he favored the latter, which waa for a lock canal, and that If the question were not determined by congress that type would be constructed. This offers a solution If the opposing factions should be unable to agree. THIRTY CENTS ON DOLLAR Depositors In Drfnart Eaterprlea Ka tlonal Bank May Mtlmately (irt Thla Amount. PITTSBURG.
