TllK Kcho ilt An-s publishes it suni-
tniuy of the fatal iiecidents that have

TllK proelaniation announcing tho
annexation of liiiniinh to tho British
Empire w as received at Rangoon on
tho 1st. There was a grand parado in
honor of tho event and a largo con-
course of natives gathered to hear tho
reading. England cedes to China pari
of Upper Burmah in order to niako
the I'hinesn and Indian frontiers con-
tiguous. India advocates an offensive
and defensive alliance between China
and India.
! Tiik Secretary of tho Treasury re
cently received a telegram from Cap-
tain Hoivier of the revenue steam-
or Rush at San Francisco stating
that after consultation with Captain
Hcaly of the Convin he had decided
to widei'luke the search for the missing
whaler Ar.ifthyst. He also inquired if
Mia cruise should be limited to the
'Aleutian Islands or whether ho should
push northward following the icepack
as it brol:;: up in the spring. Secretary
Manning .. plied as follows: "Take tho
necessary supplies and proceed at once.
Officers lt e been directed to report to
you for duty immediately. Employ a
surgeon and use your judgment as to
the northern limit of the cruise."
Fhkdkkick Hakhison M. A. the
writer on positivism and kindred sub-
jects made the annual address before
the rusitivist Society recently in Lon-
don. Ho said that tho British consti-
tution since the last extension of the
ifranchiso was more democratic than
that of cither Franco or America and
with less local reserve power. The
Government has become merely a com-
mittee of that huge democratic club
called the House of Commons. Ho
thought there was an urgent need to
form public opinion independent of
politics and Parliament. The positiv-
jsts he said favored a national gov-
ernment for Ireland w ith its own leg-
islature and executive power but he
trusted that the latter would be not
purely democratic.
While out bunting the other day
Tcter Hart a farmer living near Al-
bany X. T. discovered a letter secret-
ed in a tree which stated tho writer
John Robert Smith and his partner
Haley had been engaged in a number
of robberies which had netted sixteen
Ihousand dollars. While escaping
through tho Helderberg Hills the part-
ners had quarreled and Smith murdered
Haley and buried his body near by
Smitten with remorse ho buried tho
money and was about to drown him-
self in Warren's Lake. The letter was
taceompan'u d by a rude diagram show-
ing where the body and money can be
found and Smith gives the latter to
the finder. A large number of persons
were reported engaged in a search for
the hidden treasure.
In view of the large number of de-
fective irregular and insufficient proofs
presented in public hind cases. Com-
missioner Sparks of the General Land
Ollice has issued a circular to regis-
ters end receivers of land offices in
hich ho directs that proofs must in
all cases lie to the satisfaction of regis-
ters und receivers and that cross-tv
aniinatioiis should be directed to a
verification of the material facts in (he
rase and e-pecially to the actual facts

over December I The receipts thus far
have evioeded the expenditures over

the most populous reservation Is the

with a to hi I popu'nlion of about IU 000 em-
braces 9400000 seres or about seven and
one-half million acres mine than would b
required by llieni under the plan proposed
which would prodmw per milium $:;70ooo
