tie reason to desire such consumma-
tion, inasnuch as this empire already
possesses vast regions in the north OF
fertile, virgin soil, while In the tropics,
ilIlmitable regions invite immigration
from her southern provinces. Moreover
Cinnamon who return from few years
residence in the United States are
less easily controlled by the
mandarinate than those who
have never been exposed to the opera
tion OF revolutionary ideas. What
China has a right 10 demand what our
country is bound to concede, Is TO be
treated as an equal. Self-respect, the
duty she owes to her people, and the
position she desires to maintain among
civilized states, impose on her the ne
cessity OF contending for reciprocal con-
cessions. In view OF these considera-
tions, it seems that the unsatisfactory
and anomalous relations which
now exist might be corrected
by an immigration reciprocity
treaty, fixing the number OF the
citizens of each State to be admitted to
reside in the other Undubitable diff
culties will attend the solution of the
imbroglio on. these lines, but the states
manship of the two countries is not
likely to find them unsurmountable. A
modus visendi can surely be devised on
some basis of this kind. As regards
Americans in China they don't appre-
hend that the threats OF reprisals that
they have heard are well founded and yet
they are solicitious that the land in
which they reside should feel that It's
honor is not impugned by their country.
With unprecedented unaaimity citizens
and missionary concur iu these views"

THE BOILER EXPLODED.
Twenty-Five People Killed on a Swiss
Steamboat.

Twenty-Five People Killed q Swiss
Steamboat.
GENEVA, July 9.-On Lake Geneva to-
day the boiler of the steamer Mont
Blanc exploded, killing twenty-five and
injuring forty of those on board. The
metal dome of the boiler blew off with
terrific force, crashed through a state
room and emerged from the other
end of the steamer. In its flight
the dome struck and killed five passen-
gers, mangling their bodies in a horri-
bic manner. The other persons who
lost their lives were scalded. A panic
spread among the passengers, and those
who escaped death or serious injury
fought savagely to gain the gangway
leading to the deck. The crush was
fright1ul, and many Of the passengers
were trampled upon IN the mad rush
for safety. There were no Americans
among the passengers.
A terrible sight was witnessed in the
saloon of the Mont Blanc, in which the
passengers were roasted to death, when
the steam had evaporated and the res
cuers were about to gain an entrance
into the place. The steam entered the
door of the saloon, blocking the only
means of exit from the death trap.
Most of the portfolios were closed, and
as there was no means Of dissipating
the dense volumes of steam the unfor-
tunate passengers were scalded alive.
The victims were hurled with the YES
sells furniture to the end of the saloon,
where they lay in struggling heap. The
bodies of eight dead were found
huddled with the bodies of twenty -four
others yet alive, who were writhing on
the floor Of the saloon and yelling aloud
in their agony. Some of the victims
flesh being boiled from their heads
their faces being scorched beyond rec
ignition. The hands of some of the tor
tured passengers had the appearance oil
glove which had been turned inside
out. Several of those who were alive
were carried out of the saloon, but soon
died, while others died on their way to
the hospital.

EXCEEDED THE LIMIT.
A Man Arrested for Having More Than
Nine Wives.

ZACATECAs, Mex, July Crank c.
Lawson has been arrested for exceed
ing the limits prescribed by an old
Mexican law still in force regulating
matrinony. Lawson came here about
four years ago and has since ex-
ercised matrimonial propensities
that astonished the natives. partic-
ularly as none of his wives lived
longer than two or three months
after becoming bride. The people of
the city are very conservative IN such
matters, and they let Lawson alone
with his unfortunate domestic affairs
until three days ago, when it was learn
ed that he had married his thirteenth
wife since his arrival in Zacatecas. As
there Is no evidence to show that his
twelve previous wives died from other
than natural causes, he was arrested
under the law enacted many years ago
which prohibits man entering into the
matrimonial state more than nine times.
He is about 40 years old, we'll educated,
and has resided in Mexico many years.

camp at the lake. OnIthe morning of

waded out to log on the lake, where
he sat down. He was barefooted.
While moving his left foot to and fro
in the water large fish, supposed

Moore rolled from the log into the water,
which was walst-deep. He waded to
the shore, the bass still clinging to the
toe. In shallow water Moore gathered
the fish and pried open the mouth, the
fish escaping into the lake. The toe s

John Booth, Stephen Mccall, Felix

it, which is known as the dumping
ground. Here the prisoners dump the
refuse matter of the institution. which is
communicated to the main sewer run

Of a manhole. About $3.50 this after
noon the prisoners slipped over to
the manhole singly, unnoticed

they were covered from head to foot

They Are Brought Down Below this Profit
Basis-To Stop Competition.
New YORK, July 7.-President B. G..
Clark, of the Thomas Iron Company,
yesterday announced a reduction of 81
in the price of Nos. and 2 X Northern
pig-iron to SIS and S14 respective
ly, adhering to previous prices on
No. plain and gray forge
bands. For some time certain
Pennsylvania furnaces nave been sell
ing from so to so cents under his quota
tons of $l5 and SIG, causing loss Of
considerable tonnage and general dis
satisfaction among those who had con-
tracted for supplies. The cut is in the
nature of q movement to meet this &C.
ton and also to stamp out weak COM
petition, as 1t places prices below the
profit margin mark for all but
the strongest financial concerns.
The same company on the first
of the year made a reduction of 81
per ton, setting the pace for the market
for the last six months. Its present
action is looked upon as one possessing
permanency, and is believed to be for
the purpose of driving a number Of
furnaces out of blast. The belief
among the iron men in this city is that
the reduction will not materially affect
this branch of the industry, as all the
concerns in operation are strong
financially
