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.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-teamship
discrimination against American shipping
Is reported to the bureau of manufactures
from Singapore by Consul General Wilber,
who advises that a combination has been
effected between ths Barber line. 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.

This is one reason why Ayer's Cherry

it stops the wear and tear of useless

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.
