HOME RULE DECLARED DEAD.
LONDON, jan. 2.-The Daily Telegraph
Conservative in its issue of to-day invites
the followers Of Mr.. Gladstone to recognizes
manfully the distasteful fact that home rule
for Ireland is defunct. The present policy
Of the hoeral party, the Telegraph
thinks, Is certain to give way
to q different programme, while thu
party itself will at the same time have to
make combinations. "After the next
election, says the Telegraph, home rule
will be barely represented in parliament.
and will sink to the level of radical fads,
socialism, total abstinence and the anti
vaccination craze. Croohetmongers we
always have among us, but as
the English party, in the
largest sense of the word, is co-extensive
witn two great political connections which
have divided parliament between them
since the beginning of the constitutional
period, the home rule party has forever per<
ished. The party going TO the country on a
home rule platform would court disaster"
URGED TO DISCARD IMAGININGs.
The same paper further urges the Glad@
stonians to discard vain imag1nings and
TO return to the ancient ways Of liberalism"
and advocates "rearranging OF the parlia-
mentary groups into great national party
on one side Of the House OF Commons, a
single compact phalanx of patriots with
common faith in national progress, tenn
pered by loyalty toward order, good govern
ment and legislative honesty; on the other
the minority Of the restless, powerless Irish
separatists ard English socialists, and those
advocating headlong revolutionary
changes, destruction, disorder and spolia-
tion, either by act Of parliament or by
municipal decree"

SEVEN OF THE CHILDREN DEAD
AND OTHERS WILL DIE.

The Dress of One Of the Girls Ignited
by Lamp-The Clothing of the 9th
ers Ignited in Joining Her in a
Rush for the Door.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-Further particulars re-
ceived to-day from Nortley, near Leeds,
show that the terrible scenes witnessed at
the school fete were in no way exaggerated,
though the cause Of the disaster was not the
falling of string OF Chinese lanterns, as at
first supposed. The school fete referred to
was charity bazar held under the auspices
of the parish of Wortley. The building
used for the fete was a church school adjoiu-
ing the Wortley church. Part of the pro-
gramme Of the bazar attraction was a series
of tableaux vivants in which number Of
young girls and boys Of the parish took
part
IN THE DRESSING ROOM
For this display a small stage was erected
in the school room, and to the right of the
stage and opening upon it was a room used
as dressing room or green room by the
children. Inside the dressing room, Just be-
fore the disaster, a crowd of joyous children
were gathered, all the girls of the party
being in lignt gauzy attire, and many of
to represent snow. In addition, several of
the children carried, dangling on sticks
above their heads, lighted Chinese lanterns.
The tableaux vivant then preparing was in
tended to symbolize the winter frolics Of
the "Mummers" in days gone by.
sHRIEKs OF TERROR.
Suddenly shrieks of terror issued from
the little room. AID all were horror-stricken
to see a number of children rush upon the
stage with their costumes on fire. Gentle-
men promptly seized the burning children,
threw them updN the stage aud smothered
| the flames. Up to the present there are
seven deaths recorded as a result Of the dis
aster, and several of the injured children
are not expected TO recover.
CAUSE OF TIL 70 ACCIDENT.
An investigation into the cause of tha
| disaster shows that while the children were
gathered in the dressing room preparatory
TO making their appearance on the stage one
! OF Bhe little girls, who was playing with "A
lighted lamp, accidentally set fire to her
clothes. She uttered ory of terror, tried
TO extinguish the flames with her hands and
rushed toward the door leading to the stage.
Her cries and the sight of the flames caused
panic among the other children, who also
made rush for the door mentioned. The
result was that crowd of children crushed
around the child whose clothes we're already
in flames and thereby ignited the clothing

problems, and Judge Brown will almost at
the start have an opportunity to show his
full capabilities.
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.
Constitutional questions are at issue in
the ma, rity Of these cases. and the delicate
relations which the federal government and
the states sustain to each other in the mat
ter Of the application of the interstate CONS
merce clause of the constitution comes up in
several forms in these suits. Among the cases
announced that il would not assign for ar
gument on a particular date until there
was a fun bench, are three or four suits
brought by express, sleeping-car and tele-
phone companies against the state OF Ten
nessee. The general question at issue in
them is the constitutonality of the state
laws imposing license taxes on agents of
these companies especially when none but
an interstate business Is performed.
AN ORIGINAL PACKAGE CASE.
An original package liquor case from
Kansas is also awaiting argument, and the
court, after once hearing the counsel at
length in an important miuing suit from
Colorado, has made an order announcing
that 1t desires the case reargued before the
full bench, and has advised the counsel to
have plans and models of mining veins and
lodes to exhibit ia order that complete
understanding of the controversy may be
reached. This case, which was originated
by the Iron-Sllver- Mining Company, is of
great lmporta CO throughout the western
mining regions.
SPECIAL RAILROAD RATES.
Another suit on the docket awaiting as
sigument is of very general interest. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has
refused to comply with an order Of the in
tersta commerce commission forbidding
the making of special rates TO dramatic or
ganizations, and it is proposed by the pend
ing suit 10 review some of the most i'm
portant provisions of the interstate com
merce law.
From Massachusetts there comes an inter-
esting maritime suit involving Jurisdiction
over the bays OF the common wealth, and
other states also contribute their quota of
suits of more than ordinary interest.

The st. Louis Republic never waits to
be driven along the path of progress by
sharp competition, but keeps 80 far in the
lead that competition is an impossiblity.
Its first bold and original departure was
the publication of its weekly in five
separate edltions-one for Missouri, one
for illinois, one for Texas, one for Arkan-
sas and Kansas, and another for the rest
of the union. Next, it made the Weekly
Republican a semi-weekly, issuing it
every Tuesday and Friday, in section OF
six pages each. Then it established a
special tariff department, edited by the
Hon. w. l.. Wilson, one Of the ablest of
the Democratic leaders in congress. Now,
it announces that each of these striking
and original features will continue perma,
nently. and, in addition to all this, that
two more pages will soon be added to one
issue each week, so as to give subscribers
to the "TW Week" Republican four
teen pages regularly every week for only
81 90 wear. Besides the special attrac-
lions, which no other paper in the coun
try can offer, its general merits as a news
paper are unequaled. Sample copies
will be sent free to application.
