As a man rides througn the white sand3 or over the black mala;>al mountains in Arizona or Southeastern California and sees the flash and scurry of these brilliant and graceful creatures the suggestion of death and solitude Is broken, and. beholding so much life, he is brought to wonder if the country is really a desert or only a land to which a man Is net adapted, s?ys the London Ex press. For here are animals which never drink, yet frisk about through thorns and cactus and fatten on the bitter plants. Many a desert prospector has lain down with his burros to die, and seen on the rock9 about him the black heads of the Chuck-walla lizards outlined against the brazen sky. The Chuck-wallas were happy and corpulent with good eating. It was their country. For thousands of generations their ancestors had -never thirsted for water, and plants which the starving burros parsed by furnished both food an drink for the scaly natives of the rocks. Mark Twain's First Mon^y. When traveling recently, according to the New York Times. Mark Twain was asked by a friend and fellow passenger if he remembered the llrst money he had ever earned. "Yes." answered Mr. Clemens. "I have a distinct recollection of it. When I wa6 a youngster I attended school at a place where the use of the birch rod was not an unusual event. It was against the rules to mark the desks in any manner, the penalty being a fine of $"> or public chastisement. Happening to violate the rule on one occasion I was offered the alternative. ! told ray father, and. as he seemed to think it would be too bad for me to be publicly punished, he gave me the $">. At that period in my existence $5 was a large sum. while a whipping was of little consequence, and, well," he finally added, "that was how I earned my first $5." i t Claim Motto la Welah. "Ich dien," the motto which belongs to the Prince of Wales, is usually translated "I serve," and tradition has it that It was taken by the black prince from the royal helmet of the blind king of Bohemian who w as killed on the field of Crecy. It is a notable fact, however, that the late Dr. William Ihne, professor of English literature at Heidelberg, rejected this theory. He held that the motto was of Welsh origin and took its rise at the time when Edward I presented his new-born eldest son to the Welsh chieftains at Carnarban castle as their future sovereign. He held the child up in his arms and exclaimed in Welsh, "Eich dyn," meaning "This is your man. me explanation is accepted by many antiquarians. Texas' Oldest Voter.

Washington. Special.?It can be stated by authority tnat unless antitrust legislation, at least satisfactory to the administration, is enacted at the present session. President Roosevelt. on the 5th of March, will call an extraordinary session of the Fiftyeighth Congress. The President himself has already informed members of Congress of his desire and of his determination in this regard. It is understood that the announcement was direct and unqualified. It is further stated that the determination of the i Dr/.n 1/lAnf M'nr woo oL A/1 Anlu oftOT i i roiuuui nao icatucu uutj mwi careful study of the strenuous efforts that are being made to defeat any anti-trust legislation by Congress. These efforts have covered a wide range. They were characterized Saturday by one prominent Republican leader, to quote him directly, "as the most remarkable of which I have had personal knowledge during my public life." These efforts culminated during the past 36 hours, it is now declared. in direct appeals from the Standard Oil Company, through its president, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, to the members of the Senate not to enact any anti-trust legislation at this time. No less than6 United States Senators have received telegrams signed "John D. Rockefeller," urging that no anti-trust legislation be enacted. It has not been possible to obtain a copy of these dispatches, which it can be said, are practically identical. Substantially tho/ read as follows: "We are opposed to any anti-trust legislation. Our counsel, Mr. ^will see you. It must be stopped." As stated, these telegrams, and it must be clear that only the substance and not the exact wording is here given, were signed, "John D. Rockefeller." Yesterday morning one of the counsel of the Standard Oil Company arrived in Washington, and called immediately upon members of the Senate as indicated in the telegrams. He did not remain long. Scarcely had he made known bis business than he was informed, a bit curtly, that his presence here was undesirable and he left with an intimation tnat ne wouia Deitor return to New York. During the afternoon, information concerning the receipt of the messages leaked out and became the sub jeet of some quiet cloak room disI c-ussion at the Senate. The news also reached the House, some of the promiI nent Representatives learning the gist I of the dispatches. Then it became known that this was not the first time thp Standard Oil Company, through its [ attorneys, had endeavored to, influence legislation in Congress at this 1 session. The attorneys for the company. it was stated, had opposed i vigorously the enactment of the measj ure submitted by Attorney General J Knox to the sub-committee of the i House judiciary committee. Subsequently. when what is known as the Littlefield bill was reported to the House, it can be said on the best of authority, that the Standard Oil Company's counsel began to devote their opposition particularly to the Nelson amendment to section 6 of the Department of Commerce bill?the amendment which contafns practically the publicity features of the Knox antitrust bill. They did not want that incorporated in the measure, and, ?t is said, used their utmost efforts to prevent its favorable consideration. They were unsuccessful, as the bill, with that amendment, was agreed upon unanimously Saturday by the conferees of the two branches of Congress. The action of the conferees was received, it is understood, with satisfaction by the officials of the administration, and it is regarded as a long and essential step toward the kind of anti-trust legislation that both the anti-trust and Knox biil advocate, the legislation, particularly that the Standard Oil Company so vigorously objects to and which it is hoped might be headed off, or emasculated, through the appeals made to Senators before It reached the stage of actual passage. It is said by authority that the administration hopes the Elkins rebate bill, which was passed by the Senate this week, will be passed also by the House. While this measure, too. is opposed by those who are in favor of no trust legislation, the special opposition to it does not come from the Standard Oil Company, because it is explained, that corporation has grown beyond any effects the enforcement of such legislation might have upon it. The President, ft is understood, regards the Elkins bill as essential to a rounding out of the administration's plan for anti| trust legislation, and it is believed by those in close touch with him and with I the conditions in Congress that it may be enacted into law. Saturday the efforts being made to defeat, or emasculate pending anti1 * * ' ? ? J Koolo r\f trnst legislation iurmtru me u<u?o some animated conferences. Indeed, the subject is likely to be developed in some detail in Congress. One of the recipients of the agreement signed by "John D. Rockefeller." said: "No such formidable weapon ever has been put in the hands of one man by another in a legislative contest, as was put in ray hands by the sender of that telegram. If necessary I will rise in my place in the Senate and read it. Then we will see whether any votes are to be recorded against the legislation against which these efforts are being directed." The Russian Admiralty is now preparing plans for a new type of battleship, which is to be laid down early in 1903, and which will be the most powerful in existence. The new ships intended to surpass the British King Edward class. They will be from 16,000 to 17,000 tons and will carry four twelve-inch guns and sixteen eightinch quick-firers, besides a large number of smaller weapons. They will be able to steam from Europe to the Far East without recoaling. ' i SWEPT BY A WAVE Eighty Islands Swept By a Terrible ^ Hurricane 1000 LIVES ARE REPOSED AS LOST ? ? . 4 Death end Devastation Sweep Over N the Islands of the Pacific, and Ter- J. rible Consequences Ensu?. San Francisco, Special.?News of a fearful loss of life in a disastrous storm which swept -over the South Sea Islands last month, reached here Sunday by the steamer Mariposa, direct from Tahita. The loss of life is estimated at 1,000 persons. On January 13 last, a huge tidal wave, ocgompanied by a terrific hurricane, attacked the Society Islands and the Puamoto group with fearful force causing death and devastation never before equaled in a land of great storms. The storm raged several days. From the news received up to the time of the sailing of the steamer, it is estimated that 1,000 of the islanders lost their lives. It is feared that iaier advices win increase mis nuniuer. The first news of the disaster reached Papeete, Tahiti, January 26, by the schooner Eimeo. The captain of the schooned placed the fatalities at 500. The steamer Excelsior arriTed at Papeete the following day with 400 destitute survivors. The captain of the Excelsor^estimated the total loss of life to be 800. These figures compslsed onlyI he deaths on the three islands of Hao, Hikitera and Makokaa, whoee ordinary population is 1,800. On Hikuera Island, where 1,000 inhabitants were engaged in pearl diving, nearly one-half were drowned. On an adjacent island, 1000 more were washed out to sea. Makokan and Hao are depopulated. Conservative estimates at Tahita place the number of Islands visited by the tidal wave and hurricane at 80. All of them are under the control of the French governor at Tahita. The surviving inhabitants are ieft destitute of food, shelter and clothing. all having been swept away by the storm. The French government, on receipt of news of the disaster, took prompt _ measures to relieve the distressed dls- M tricts and dispatched two warships with fresh water and provisions. As the^H| supply of fresh water and provisk)n^^H| was totally exhausted by the storm. l^^H is feared that many lives will be lost^HQ before the relief ships can -arrive, as fas as is known eight white people were among the drowned. Included in these were Alexander Brander, N. P. Plunkett, of Oakland; T. D. Donnelly, formerly a fireman on the steamship Australia, and the local mgent of C. Coppenrath, a merchant of Papeete. Added to this number was an unknown woman who committed suicide from fright. As the islands were barely 20 feet above sea level and were not surrounded by coral reefs, it was necessary for all inhabitants to take to the coooanut trees when the tidal wave began to cover the land. These trees grow to an immense height, many reaching an altitude of 100 feet All of the lower trees were covered by the raging seas which swept with pitiless force about and over them. The natives in the taller trees were safe until the cocoanut trarro urav and then they, too. i v >\j i o 6??v .. ?^ wore swept out into the sea. The 400* rurvivors brought by the Excelsior to sjT' Papeete gained the ship's side by swimming three and four miles fromthetops of the cocoanut trees. The Elemo, though badly damaged by the storm, was also brought off as many persons as could swim to her side. Bhe, like the Excelsior, being unable to run close to the shores because of the yiolence of the ocean swell, which continued to run abnormally high for a week after ' The tidal disturbances. Another schooner, the Gaulois, from the Marfjuesan Islands. 60(J miles away, encountered the htm .cane while on the way to the latter place and only the timely action of the captain in having the cargo, consisting of 30 head of cattle. 35 pigs and 30 tons of cotton, jettisoned, saved the little craft from destruction. Even with this precaution, the life of one man was lost, by waves sweeping the decks. Earthquakes in Middle West.
