of the dead being obtainable, and the

be impossible ever to give complete
statement. AS the full details of the
fire become known the horror is in
tensihed. 1t is known by the last re-
port to the Quebec government that
tuere were LOU inmates instead OF
1900, and this much is certain. that no
one will ever know the number Of
victims. From collateral information it
must be that there are 100 dead.

SUIT 10 BREAK A TRUST.

Legal Steps to Annul the Charter of the
standard Oil Company.
COLUMBUS, O., May 8,-Atty. Gen.
Watson has brought suit in quo warranto.
in the supreme court, to take from the
Standard Oh Company it's charter for
violation of the laws in various ways.
The petition refers to the general state
laws against monopolies, and cites the
fact that the Standard Oil Company has
forfeited it's right by going into the
Standard Oil trust of New York, and re-
ceiving trust certificates in lieu of its
former shares of stock.
The laws of Ohio provide explicitly
that majority of the members of the
board of directors of all companies in
corporated under the laws of Ohio shall
be residents of the state. The petition
sets forth that the Standard Oil Compa-
nv has surrendered its rights for control
and management of it's business to the
niue trustees of the Standard Oil Trust,
and that none of these trustees live in
Ohio. It sets forth that President Rock
afeller gets $4,000 per year, and that
the nine trustees get $4,000 each. The
petition sets forth other violations Of
Ohio laws, but the principal point is the
fact that it's board of directors are nom
residents.

had opened up new, rich and produc-

fellow creatures. AS a Christian ma

ought to rejoice that the few
thousand pounds lent to this work

medal presented to Stanley is of gold,
