A Manufacturer Who Wants Free Trade.
The Free Traders are delighted with
the sentIlnehts expressed before the
Ways and Means COMMITTEES by Mr..
George a. Macbeth, OF Pittsburgh, a
manufacturer Of lamp chimneys.H Mr..
Macbeth desires the removal OF all duty
on the raw material he uses, and II he
can have this he will gladly give up the
protective duty on imported lamp Chin
neys. He says that with free raw mate
rails and no protection for his own pre-.
ducts lie will continue to pay the wages
he now pays, an average Of 81 90 a day.
These are tho statements which have
SO pleased tho Free Traders. In tho ex-
tacy OF their Joy they do not comment on
Mr. Bayne's cross.cxamination Of Mr..
Macbeth, and they have nothing TO say
about the testimony Of Mr.. James Gil:
lender, OF Philadelphia, another chimney
manufacturer who went dead against
Mr.. Macbeth. "A ,,5!ls
Mr.. Baync drew out OF Mr.. Macbeth
the admission that at one time he had
thought Of moving his establishment to
Germany, taking his workmen to Ger.
many and paying them "what he could d
get them ior.n lie did not say what en-
couraged him to believe that American
vlass.blowers would go to Germany to
work fol. German wages.
Mr.. Macbeth failed to explain some
other things in connection with his pro
posed plan.of foreign competition in
this market with no tariff to help him
Altogether he seems: to be- peculiar
sort OF person, who knows a magic wa,
to do what no other American manuiac
turer in his line knows how to do. y
II he should chance to pass this way
and will drop into the lsrELLiaEScEl

neys in the original package rs the,

in cask. These chimneys were dc
livered in this country, freight, insur
ance and duty paid at q total cost Q
nine cents per dozen. In this counlr!
the packing would cost that much.

materials not only duty free but abso

SPOKANE FALLS, March 3.-For some
time trouble has been brewing IN Spo-
kane college, one of the leading educa-
tional institutions, with an attendance
of about 200 graduates. This culml-
mated to-day when the board Of direct
ors called for the resignation OF the
president of the college, Prof. A. T..
Lasher, who will step down oand out
about three weeks hence. Prof. Lasher
came here from Napa. Cal. He is an
excellent teacher, but as tinancier he
is failure. He has had full charge OF the
college. including the boarding depart
ment, and has collected in advance fees
for tuition and board from the students.
The trustees have been unable TO get
an accounting from President LaEher,
and the members of the faculty are
ciamOring for their salaries. The books
are in tumble and have been placed
in the hands of an expert. In addition
to his peculiar fnanciering Prof. Lasher
has made himself exceedingly obnox-
ious to the students, and mild sort of
an insurrection has been in pro-
gress for some time. The STU
dents complain that they are
not given enough to eat and many OF
them rebelled and refused to attend
morning prayers. A few days ago
large delegation of young men marched
in a body before the board Of trustees
and declared that unless Lasher was
removed they would all leave the col
lege. The institute is exceptionally
prosperous in spite of these difficulties.
A short time ago citizens OF Spokane
raised cash fund of nearly Sl0O,OOO aS

fining the duties of railroad cOmmlS-

Lons-Forgotten Scandals Revived

LONDON. March 3.-Nothing that has

suspension of Mr.. Labouchere, and the
circumstances which led to it. Every
where the matter is the chief subject of

JUST LIKE MEEKER ISLAND.
A Water Power Bonanza at
Brainerd Controlled by Henry

A Water Power Bonanza at
Brainerd Controlled by Henry
Willard.
Special to the Globe.
BRAlNERD, March 3.-The GLOBES
illustrated exposition of the Willard
plans for the Meeker Island water
power and its utilization touches the
very keynote of interest IN this section,
for Brainerd mas almost the exact c0un-
terpart of the Meeker island project for
harnessing the Mississippi. However,
in Brainerd's case the river Is already
liarnesSsd and ready to start off with
the load. 1t is significant too that the
names of MIR. Willard and of Mr.. Oakes,
and the Northern Pacific interests gem
orally are also connected with the
Brainerd scheme. In the light of the
new fires of Northwestern interest now
being kindled everywhere, and by the
GLOBES efforts especially, subscription
of the Brainerd opportunity will bp of
more than local interest. 1t is singular
coincidence that the Mississippi, from
the Brainerd dam down stream,
sweeps about this city almost eX
actly as from below Meeker island.
Where MeSsrs. Willard. Oakes, Thrall
and others of tine Northern Pacific folks
come into the project is this: Nearly a
year ago tile Weyerhauser lumber peO-
pie agreed on the preliminarieS of the
deal since closed for the Northern Pa.
cifc pine in Minnesota. To help the
deal along, and on the part of the agree
ment to manufacture the lumber into
pine at Brainerd, this city voted to give
away the electric light plant, which had
cost it S60,000, as bonus to the syndicate
that would erect this lumber plant. The
syndicate had, of course, to acquire the
dam and property of the Mississippi
Water Power and Dam COMPANY. Now,
it is learned, on unqueStiOned au-
thOritY, that the Northern Pacific
people have maintained an interest, or
corner in the whole transaction except
ing only its timber sold and its manu-
facture sat or near Brainerd"-an in
terest and its purpose very obvious, to
wit: In the electric light bonus for
lights for its shops and building; in the
water power for power to run the said
shops and their engagements, to be
transmitted by electricity. AS to the
water power itself it is attributed to be
the purpose to run shops, street car
lines, brick works, and many other en-
terprises by electrical pOwer-in fact so
nearly identical to the Meeker island
project as to be surprising, with about
the only difference that the Brainerd
water works are all constructed aud
ready for immediate utilization.

Three Men Roasted to Death in
Railroad Wreck.

Three Men Roasted to Death in
Railroad Wreck.
MANSFIELD, O., March 3.-The Pitts
burg. Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad
had the worst freight wreck at Lake
Vile at l O'clock this morning it has had
for years. Three trainmen and thou
sands of dollars worth of property were
consumed in fire which followed a run
in. The third section of west-bOund
Freight Train No. SO broke down mile
west of Lakeville and the fourth sec
ton of the same train crashed into the
rear end. Immediately after the crash
a tank car of gasoline in front of the
caboose exploded and scattered the
burning fluid over the debris. which
took fire and burned iiercely. On the
engine were Engineer John COwan,
Fireman Harvey GalehOuse and
Head Brakeman Edward Miller. All
of them received probably fatal injuries
before the fire reached them, but when
their bodies were found the fire had
roasted them. Fireman Galehouse's
body was buried in the debris and was
burned to a crisp. COwan and Miller
were married and had two children
each. They lived at Alliance. Gale
house was unmarried and resided at
Doylestown. The oil from two other
tank cars added tuel to the fire. which
consumed twenty freight ears and the
ties in about 500 feet of track. So in
tense was the fire that the steel rails
were twisted out of shape and the bell
on the buried engine was melted. The
track was so badly damaged that
freight and local passenger traffic was
delayed about fourteen hours. The
through passenger trains were sent
over the Nypano via this city, Creston
and OrrVillp. The cause of the wreck
was the failure of the dead engineer to
stop when tagged by brakeman from
fine disabled train. The suppostion is
that the three men were asleep on the
engine and did not have time to jump
If they did waken up before the crash.
