THE CONQUEST OF BURMAH

THE CONQUEST OF BURMAH EpoIand Claims To Re Undertaken In
 The Interest of Universal Commerce
 The Powers ArraYed Against Russ
 sia.
 LONDON, Nov. 12-As usual when Great Britain enters upon 8 war of conquest or an- nexation, the excuse given for an armed in vasion of Burmah is that it is necessary for the benefit of commerce. It is claimed that it will open up the valuable trade route to China for all nations to the benefit of the worlds commerce. This is Lord Salisbury 8 explanation of the matter in reply to an in- quiry from the French government as to the meaning of the British military movements. The Balkan question is daily settling into such shape that Russia has all the other in- terested powers arrayed against her wishes as to the settlement of the status of Bulgaria and Roumelia. Russ;a's persistent demand for the absolute relations of the two princi- palities can hardly be effectively maintained in the face of the fact that Turkey and all the other powers are satisfied to recognize the union, though with certain conditions effecting the future relations of united Bull garia to the Porte. The only way in which Russia's views are likely to prevail will be through the possible collision of the Bulga- rian and Servian troops now facing each other on the frontier. Should some acci- dent or treachery precipitate an engagement the probabilities as now existing will be changed into an entirely new outlook.
 PHIIPPoPoIls, Nov 12.-Eastern Roume lia has raised twenty-five thousand men and almost continuous drilling has brought them into high state of efficiency. Prince Alex ander and the Bulgarian prime minister are still here.

ROCKING TALE oF CKUELTH.

A SHOCKING TALE OF CKUELTY. Inhuman Treatment of Boys In the
 Toledo House of Refuge.
 CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 12.-The Press to- day publishes an account of the way in which the Toledo house of refuge is con- dueted The institution is sustained by the State, but the city of Toledo has charge of it and reaps the benefits. Various com plaints of the treatment of inmates have been made for long time past and so loud did they become last winter that the State appointed committee to make an investiga- tion Some light was thrown on the matter by an interview with Charley Connolly, aged fifteen, a former inmate. Two years ago he was confined in the refuge. The boy had committed no offense. The boy was placed in the refuge to get him out of the way of his mother, who was divorced from the father. The mothers fer spending much time and money thrxL sh the intervention of the Mayor of Cleveland procured her sons release. Young Connolly says that the superintendent of the refuge, McDonald, compelled him to make twenty beds, scrub floor and knit thirty y-six pairs of socks per day If he failed in any particular he was fesrfully beaten. Everybody, he says, was treated in like manner. McDorald used thick leather strap to beat the boys and a1vvayyz yvhiE,r,e1 until tias blood ran down their backs. They were fed on meat which was literally crawling with maggots, and the rats frequently fought with the boys for that miserable allow ance. In the winter the boys were com pelled to carry ice from the river to supply the ice house. They were frequent ly whipped until they were sick and then compelled to take heavy doses of quinine. Not few boys have died of consumption af- ter having served 8 term in the refuge. Me- Donald makes the boys tell visitors that they like the refuge better than their homes. Young Connolly showed horrible scars all over his body, some of which were still sore He is physical wreck and shows the effects of his harsh treatment while imprisoned in the refuge

Both Parties Laboring to Show Irres-
 charities in the Vote.
 CINCINNATI, Nov. 12.-The circuit court to-day resumed proceedings in the senatorial
 mandamus case. The Democratic counsel
 had up to this time shown in eighteen Re
 publican precincts excesses aggregating 131
 votes over the names contained in the poll
 books of these various precincts. MT. Jor-
 dan this morning had returns from several other Republican precincts in which he pro- posed to show irregularities. especially the returns from precinct H, Twelfth ward. The
 Republican counsel asked that all returns not yet introduced as testimony be brought
 in so that irregularities against the Democrats could be asserted. MT. Jordan characterized
 this fishing excursion upon which the court would not go. After consid- erable wrangling the court decided that the Republican counsel could go to the returns and select such irregular ones as they desired and bring them in for the courts exception. Clerk Dalton was on the witness stand much of the afternoon. He claimed that Justice Sanbornson absented himself from the completion of the abstract, though he was often sent for. Those things had been prevented by the in junction suit in Judge Buekwalter's court.
 All the Republican senators and represen- tatives filed notice of contest Thursday in the county clerks office. The documents are
 very long and signed by Sam. Bailey, jr., and setup most of the irregularities reported from Democratic precincts.

Judge Johnson asked what would be done in the if the figures were changed they said to be in the Franklin county returns Mr. Fol lette replied that there was no doubt about the right of the clerk to count the vote as originally made to him. This was done in Missouri. He said that the other side claimed that there was nothing partisan in these pro ceedings when that was the real question at issue Judge Owens said the papers had been filed and they heard arguments, but they had not had time for consultation. He also asked Judge Harrison in case his appli- cation should be granted how much time it would require. The reply was, 'sSeveral ness and adjourned without indicating what it would do

 PIFTsBURG, Pa., Nov. 12.-The Washing ton express on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad coming west went over an embankment near Connellsville, Penn, about 6 o'clock this morning, and was badly wrecked. The sleeping car was totally wrecked and the cupants thrown from their berths. Many of
 them were severely injured by the debris.
 They were rescued in their night clothes and
 taken to hotel in Connellsville. Congress-
 man Boyle of Uniontown, Pa., was the worst
 injured. The injured number seventeen
 None of the injuries are believed to be fatal
 From present indications the wreck is be-
 heved to be the work of malicious persons.
 The track where the accident occurred is re-
 ported to be in perfect condition and the
 cars and engine of the wrecked train were
 among the best on the road This is the
 second wreck of the fast Washington ex.
 press within two months, it being thrown
 from the track short time ago near Ohio
 Pyle Falls. The same crew, an eminently
 trustworthy one, which had charge of it then
 was in charge this morning. Con-

 Boyle this evening in reference to the acci-
 dent on the Baltimore & Ohio road 'I was
 asleep when I felt that the car was leaving
 the track. I seized hold of the bunk. As I
 did so the car began rolling down the bank
 into the river, turning over three times. I
 found my end of the car full of water while
 was entirely submerged with mattress on
 top of me. struggled and got my head above water; got to the upper end of tho car, but felt that I was suffocating. Then someone smashed in window from the outside, through which I got out, I managed to get ashore and crawled up the bank through the bushes and briers when I became exhausted and could get no further. There lay for an hour and half in my wet night clothes before anyone came to my res cue. I do not think am hurt internally. I am of the opinion that there were persons killed. do not see how it can be other l wise, as I saw no one escape from my car" MT. Boyle is resting easily tonight.

A WOMAN that marrieS man with
whisky on his breath is the biggest fool
in the world, except the one who stirs
his toddy for him after she marries
him. If you don't like that sort of talk
you can rack out of here. Sam Jones.
A MODEL Temperance community is
to be found in the Parish of Cameron.
Louisiana. There is no place where
liquor is sold, the jail is utilized for
cOrn-crib, and the public sentiment is
unanimous in favor of prohibition, being
law in itself, and enforcing the law
with complete success.
To THINK of people calling themselves
intelligent, at this time of day telling
their fellows to drink beer and wine in
order to be healthy, happy and sober,
is too absurd for anything. | don't
question the honesty of those who do
so; but, in that case, alas! for the
soundness of their judgments, and their
knowledge of what beer and Wine
drinking has really done. Toronto

SUPPOSE the liquor traffic could be
blOtted out of existence and society at
once restored to such a condition as is
possible with drink eliminated, how
vastly would the work of legislation be
reduced. As matters now are, nearly
one-third of the time paid for out of
the peoples money is spent in enacting
and fighting laws made necessary be-
cause of the existence of the drink traf-
tic and the drink habit. A saving at
this point is no small item in the tax
list, and one not often counted in when
we sum up the country's losses through
this great sluiceway of waste Union
