One hundred persons were poisoned at q
picnic at Wichita, KS by drinking lemonade.
Three children who partook of the beverage
nave died and others are not expected to
live. A chemica analysis of the lemonande
has not been made, but it is said thu the
man who supplied it used chemical acids and
made a mistake in his drugs. The beverage
was supplied in huge cans, and as the day
was very hot everybody drank freely. Soon
several persons were taken violently i'll, and
be ore long almost every person on the

A serious collision occurred bet ween the
authorities o! Spokane co untv and the city

rivalry exists between the Spokane Street
Railway Company, and the City Park Tran
sit company, both wanting to lay track in
Division street for electric and cable line.
The street railway company has it's line in
operation and the city council ordered the
track torn up in five days. Then the city
commenced to take up the tracks. The sher-
if and his deputies arrested the mayor, super
intendent of streets and Captain of Police
Martin, who gave bonds, and, returning to
the scene, found a large force relaying the

has been no blood shed SO far, but O bitter
feeling exists and grave fears are enter
tanned that a Personal conflict may occur.

An European War Possible as the
too OF Affairs n Armenia.

LONDON, Special.-It is feared that Russia
may at last be compelled to take the initia-
tive step to protect the long-persecuted
Christians Of Armenia. The Armenians
have repeatedly appealed in vain to En-
gland, Germany and Austria to uphold the
terms of the Treaty of Berlinby compelling
Turkey to recognize the rights of Arme-
mans as stipulated in that agreement of the
powers. >,s
The danger now is that the conflict in
Erzeroum may lead to open rebellion all
over Armenia, in which event Russia would
undoubtedly take sides with the Christians
and seize Erzerounl, if not the whole of
Armenia, thus bringing on the much
dreaded catastrophe OF a European war.
Russia at the present moment has a large
force within easy marhing distance OF Erze-
roum and could overrun the whole country
before any of the powers could bring troops
into action. Information has been received
here that sporadic cases OF Instruction have
lately occurred in Armenia, arising from the
intolerable conduct Of the Turkish authori-
ties. ~.
Private letters received from Armenia
give the most horrible details of cruelties
quite recently ptacticed by the Turkish au-
thorities OH the Armenian peasants in the
district of Khanoos, between Bitlas and
Erzeroum. ~

Salisbury's Government Having a
Hard Time Holding Itself To-
gether.
LONDON. Special. The abandonment by
the Salisbury cabinet of the compensation
clause in the license bill is simply q matter
of self-preservation, for it has been evident
from the day OF the great Hyde Park dem
onstration that all other questions were be-
coming subordinate to the issue between
the temperance sentiment of the country
and the government as champion of the
publicans.
The test of popular opinion on the ques-
ton of compensation to publieans, which
is the basis of Mr.. Gaines campaign at
Barrow-in-Furness, is attracting more at
tention than has been given to any
single election in England in many years,
and the contest for The seat promises to be
waged with d degree of bitterness that will
sever many lifelong friendships.
Cardinal Manning takes parts in the CAM
paign to the extent of writing q letter to
Mr.. Game, in which he bids that gentleman
Gods speed in the cause in which he has,
made himself the champion. The vener-
able prelate writes that he has always re-
fused to take part in political matters, but
he regards the present issue as a question of
morals, and therefore feels called upon to
express his views and declare his prefer
ences. 9

No Change In the Freight Handlers
NJ Strike In East St. Louis.
ST.. LOUIS, Special.-The situation in the
freight handlers strike in East st. Louis
remains about unchanged. The strikers
held a meeting to-day and decided not to
accept the terms offered by the railroads
and are determined to stay out until the
roads come to terms. The latter have q
few green hands at work, but very little is
being done in the freight houses, as
the new men know little or moth
ing of the work required of them.
It is stated also that, should the roads not
accede to the strikers demands, the trans
Ter drivers and other members Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor who are immedi.
ately concerned in the freight handlers
movement will join the strikers tomorrow.
Another rumor current tonight is that
should the threatened move on the part OF
the transfer drivers prove true. the roads
will accede to the demands made by the
freight handlers. The superintendent are
to hold a meeting tomorrow OF which a
decision will likely be reached.

IT seems that in Chicago the ice
men have a habit of delivering only
thirty-ive and forty-fve pounds. 1t
is easy enough to approximate the
weight of a block of ice. As it takes
thirty-one cubic inches of ice to
weigh one pound, all you have to do
is to reduce to cubic inches and d.
vide by thirty-one. The result OF
course would be the weight Of the
block.

IT Is believed that the use of smoke.
less powder by armies will result in
making military operations much
more difficult than they are now.
The absence of smoke and the re-
duced noise of the detonations will
scarcely allow of marching by the
sound of the cannon. In order to
get an idea of the situation on a
battle field it will be necessary to ex-
anime it directly from some elevated
point.

Crushed in the Ruins That

GALLAr1N, Tenn, Special.-A terrible
tornado passed over the northern part OF
Gallatin to-day lasting about five minutes.
It could be heard some distance, and the
storm king came with terrific force, uproot-
ing trees, lifting roofs, and tearing awnings
and signs from their ~fastenings. A church,
the African Methodist, was blown to pieces
and the roof caved in on the congregation.
Their screams and cries could be heard a
great distance. Ten were taken from the
debris. and two were so horribly crushed by
the roof and falling timbers that they are
dying. Granville Brown, the minister, was
badly crushed in his pulpit.
Among the wounded and crippled are
Ann Martin and Mrs. Mary Hoffman, both
are dying; Gilbert Woodford and child,
Mary Horton, Nancy Lowrey, a child o
Mamie Sawyers, Granville Beck, G.
Brown and others. All the doctors of the
town were soon upon the scene and admin
istered to the dying and wounded. The
church was filled, and how any escaped is q
miracle. S.
Galatians public school was damaged by
part of the front blowing in, but the loss is
not serious. Fencing and trees were swept
away by the storm, and IN many prlVate
residences carpets were blown from the
floors and furniture smashed into kindling
wood. No other loss of life has been re-
ported. The tornado took a southwesterly
course, and very heavy rains fell during the
time.

Legislation Needed In Order to
Acquire Such Land in Washing
ton .- y =
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
Some questions are under consideration
by the department of the interior here
which are of Importance to Washington
State to the extent that they involve title
to swamp lands in that state.
Representative Wilson had a conference
Saturday with the secretary of the interior,
Assistant Secretary Chandler and Gen.
Shields, the attorney for this department.
The most that can be said as to the result of
the conference is that it was the sentiment
of the officials that the history and the laws
on the subject of swamp land grants. and
those in Washington in particular, must be
carefully looked up before a decision is
made.
At present there seems to be no law to
govern, and legislation may be needed
which shall settle definitely how swamp
lands may be acquired unless the secretary,
after the examination, holds that the
sovereignty Of the state extends over these
lands -
