THE EXPRESS CASE
Involves Some Exceedingly Inter-
esting Points.
Today before Judge Goggan tbe case
of Pitman vs. tbe Pacific Express
company waa continued. The day waa
spent in argument. The defendants
claim that the value ef the jewelry
shipped was not stated anal tbat there-
fare their liability should be lessened
as if tbe value of tha articles had been
stated greater care would have been
taken In carrying them.
The plaintiffs claim that they were
given no chance to state the value of
the goods and that the shipment weuld
have been refused if the valuation of
$50 had not been placed on it. Tbe Chi-
cago company who repaired the jewelry
said that they have always understood
that the contract which they entered
into with the express company was
not binding on either party and tbat It
was done as a mere matter of form.
On tbe other baad it was claimed
that the shippers of the jewelry knew
that the express company bad no In-
tention ol paying tbe true value of the
goods if lost as the shipper had
always been in tbe habit of insuring
their shipments which were at all val-
uable and tbat in this case they did so.
The Express company had offered the
$50 which was stipulated in tbe bill of
lading and it had been refused.
The argument was oontinued this
afternoon.

CATTLEMEN UNPROTECTED.
There Can Be No Special Rangers
Under the New Interpretation
Under the recent interpretation of
the law governing the stale rangers
there can be no special r&cgers. Ine
Tex in Cattle Raisers' association had
in it employ about fifteen luopeotors
in Texas whote authority to make
arrests lay solely in the fact tbat they
held corcmipeiono from toe governor
as special ranger. All tfceaa coamU-
slons have been canceled by Adjt. Gej.
Thomas Scurry since the new inter-
pretation of tbe law waa rendered a ad
the usefulness of the inspectors ba-
been serioutly impaired. They were
stationed at various points in the state
ad their duties consisted of inspectiug
all shipments of cattle as well as many
herd for the purpose of guarding
Against stolen animals and other depre-
dations against stockmen. When
stolen cattle were found they bunted
down and arrested tbe guilty parties.
Tney have been of great service to the
stockmen of the state and were one of
the most important features of tbw
Texas Cattle Ra'.ssra' association's
work.
If it Is possible under the law to com-
mission these inspectors as peace
officers and give them authority to
made arrest to tbe sme extent as
was granted them as special rangers
euch will be done. Dallas News.

Middleburg road. He had small force
at first but in a few days the number of
his force increased.
"His being near Pretoria keptup the
excitment in the oountry and prevent-
ed the burghers from surrendering
their arms. It also interfered with
collection of supplies and therefore it
became necessary to attack bim which
I did yesterday ( MoDdaj).
'Bath a held a very strong pjsit on
and bad a practically unassailable
front which enabled him to place the
main portion of his troops on his flank
which be knew was vulnerable."
Roberts acknowledges a reverte
but adds:
"Her maj-aty's government need have
no apprehension regarding tbe se-
curity of the army in South Africa.

which was unfortunate but this will
be remedied very shortly. It will not
tike long to repair the damage "

THROW OUT
CHRISTIANS
Says Professor Starr of the
Great Universiry
of Chicago.
IS
In Any Measure of Expulsion
and the Powers Would
Better Keep Their
Hands Off.
Chicago June 13. Prof. Frederick
Starr head of the department of an-
thropology. University of Chicago
declared before his class yesterday
that the dowager empress of China
was justified in her attitude toward
the Christian missionaries and in tak-
ing any steps necessary to drive them
out of the country.
He predioted that any attempt of the
powers to partition C&ioa would re-
sult in unifying tbat nation and lead
tJ the supremacy of China as a world-
power. 'The Introduction of Christianity
into Chic a is a measure of hostility
against the existing government of
the empire" said Prof. Starr.
"The empress knows this and is
justified entirely in expelling missio-
naries as a measure of self preservation.
Her party eventually will succeed
because any scheme to deter her by
a coalition of powers euch a is now
proposed would be absolutely im-
possible. "If tbe power passesoutof China's
hands It will pass into Russia's be-
cause China and Rjsslaare the only
two nations to be reckoned wfth in the
orient in the future."
Tien Tsin June 12. Foreign troops
and Boxers have come in contact and a
salutary lesson has been tacght the
Chinese rebels. British marines had
the honor of inflicting a blow on the
Boxers. The fight occurred on Monday

Cninese sallied forth from that town
and attempted to cut tff a small party
of British marines. Maxims did the
business and fifty Chinese were killed.
