FELL NINETY-FOUR FEET.

Death of a Hook and Ladder Man While
Practicing With a Pompier Ladder.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept 4-Barney Nc.
Breen, of hook and ladder company No. l,
fell from the eighth story of the Midland
Hotel yesterday afternoon and died at
1920 last evening. His death resulted from
the shock coming from internal injuries.
McBreen fell from a height of ninety-fou
feet landing on a wagon load of ice that
CHANGED to be standing in the way. Sim
gularly enough he was alive when picked
up. He was taken to engine house No. 2
and placed on his bed. W here he lay in NOR
tai agony until death came to his relief. He
was partially conscious nearly up to the
time of his demise At the time of the ac-
cident eight of the hook and ladder men
were at their daily practice on the pompier
ladders on the south side Of the Midland.
The ascent had been successfully made
and the men were just starting downward
when the accident occurred McBresn
was the topmost man and was in the act
of lowering the roof ladder to the man be-
low him. He was standing far down on his
own ladder and was swinging the one from
above him down when he lost his balance.
The ladder he was holding was heavy and
its weight helped to destroy Nc
Breen's equilibrium The wind was
high and through the combination
of influences the ladder upon which
the fireman was standing twisted
and broke The Mortified spectators
below had had time to understand the
situation and its seriousness when the
poor man fell. He was a native of Ireland,
aged twenty.seven.

In concluding his address the President
said:
Let me kindly thank you for this most cordial
and brotherlv greeting. Let me wish that this

Let me hope that the scholarly addresses
which you have heard read from manuscript

Apache Indians.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-Agent W. d.
Myers, of the Kiowa, Comanche and
Wichita agency in the Indian Territory,
has submitted an elaborate annual report
to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
This reservation, including the Apache
tract. aggregates a total of 8, 534 COO acres,
and he says that not more than 80 per
cent. of this will ever be successfully
utilized for agriculture He does not
think, however. that these Indians can be
made self.supporting unless by the com.
pulsory process and withholding their
rations unless each male of twenty years
or over shall plant and cultivate ten acres
Of corn. wheat or oats. The total number
of Indians is 40SS The school interests
have been advanced, but much room ex-
lists for Improvement. There is a hopeful
field for missionary work. the Methodist
Church (South), the Reformed and Old
School Presbyterians and the Baptist
Churches maintaining earnest mission
aries.
Agent Myers further states that these
Indians all oppose allotment Of their land
in severalty, claiming that they are not
yet ready for the change. He therefore
believes that they should not now be
forced to accept the measure. They
realize, however, that it must come soon
and they are preparing for the new order.

Of Mexico No ruling had been lately

A question as to the classification OF

In regard to imposing duties on Mexican
vessels the law imposed a discriminating
duty of 10 Fer cent. on goods imported in
foreign vessels, except the vessels Of ma
tions with which the United States had

was authorized to relieve the vessels of
other nations from that discriminating
duty upon satisfactory proof that such
countries did not levy such duties on
United States vesse s. As Mexico did
levy such discriminating duty upon
goods imported in American sailing ves-
sells, there was no power to relieve her
vessels from such duty.
