soldiers have been attacked.

ones most affected. Residences occupied by
English ands dsAmerican people, are in most
excellent condition.

quarters is good and abundant. There

forenoon at the Ingalls, school. Lynn. UD-
wards of 775 children are enrolled in the
school, the majority of sbom were fortunately
out at recess, when smoke was discovered in
the basement. Upon bursting in door a
quantity of birch bark and kindling wood,
which was IN a closet, was found to be in a
brisk blaze. There we're at the time about
45 children in the building. These were
quickly gathered together by the teachers,
who. in spite of the thick smoke with which
the entire building was speedily filled, sue
ceeded in marshalling all their little charges
to place of safety outside. Great excite
menf was created among parents and rela-
tives for while, until all were known to be
safe. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin and was either set by the boys or with
malicious intent.

There is better feeling in mining circles

against the reduction of hours.
The tin and copper mining industry in the
west of England feels encouraged on account
of the expectation that the expected forth
coming administration under President Gle

to remove the existing duties on metal
