MACHINE GUNS TOO MUCH FOR THE

A Review of the Situation In south Africa.
Problems Tha Confront the Chartered

ON the Blacks-A Political Crisis.
The wal in Matabeleland demonstrates
that the machine gun is mightier than
the assagai; that mere physical courage
is of no avail when opposed TO the dead
" engines of modern warfare. A few
years ago Lobengula could have easily
roated his foes in a single engagement.
Now his black warriors are slaughtered
at wholesale by the merciless fire Of
maxims and martins in the Intellectual
endeavor to get within striking distance
OF their Christian enemies.
1t is the old story, the old conflict be-
tween civilization and savagery that has
already been fought to a finish in this
country. Now that we have wiped out
our own aborigines we have reached
that high moral plane where we may
sympathize with the savage Lobengula
and denounce the British landgrabbers
who have invaded his country-for that
conquest is the object Of the Chartered
company's campaign there seems to be
little reasonable doubt. Human nature
is substantially the same, however, in
all countries and all ages. But customs
have changed, and when a modern F-

ing graduated at the Springfield high
school and studied art for two terms at
Smith college. For the past two years
she has been employed in an art store in
Springfield. She has known her afi-
anced ever since she was a little girl,
and says she can see nothing unnatural
in their marriage.
i Yung Kwai is q Yale university grad
uate, and also studied at the Springfield
high school. After leaving college he was
connected for some time with the Chi
nese legation in Washington as an inter-
prefer, and was subsequently transferred
to New York in the same capacity. He
is thoroughly Americanized in manners
and dress, and does not even wear a
queue. He is a member Of the South
Congregational church in Springfield,
though his home is now in New York.
He is an accomplished linguist, and his
friends credit him with an exemplary
character. His age is about 30, and he
has resided in the United States for 90
years and has no desire to return to his
native land. His father is said to be an
educational commissioner in China, and
there is the usual little romance about
his family being next to that of the en-
peror in rank andAthe young man per-
sonally standing high in the imperial
favor.

A Massachusetts Belle to Wed q Christian

Intermarriages between Chinese men
and white women are becoming almost
too common to excite comment, and
from one point Of view may be consider
ed indicative of a progressiveness for
which natives Of the Flowery Kingdom
get but little credit. When, however,
as sometimes happens, a well educated
American girl of good family contracts
such a union, OF her inten-
ton to do so, it still occasions consider
able surprise, though the bridegroom
may be a mandarin OF high degree, or Of
a family whose social or official rank in
his own country is superior to that Of
his bride in this.
Miss May Durham, a pretty and ac-
complished daughter of the Old Bay

Muley Hassan May Have to Render IN
Account For the Riff Rebellion.
Considerable interest attaches just
now to the personality of Muley Hassan,
sultan and Mohammedan pontiff Of Mo-
rocco, for it is within his territory that
the Riff tribesmen are making war upon
the Spanish settlement of Melilla, on the
Mediterranean coast of northern Africa,
and although his authority yer the
tribesmen can hardly be considered more
than nominal it is likely that Spain will
hold him accountable for the conse-
qnences of their actions.
Muley Hassan is 55 years old. Grave
and majestic of demeanor, as becomes a
descendant and successor of the prophet,
his dark eyes are large and expressive,

DUPUY's PROGRAMME.
The Premier Reads 1t to the Chamber
of Deputies.

Paris, Nov. 2l.-At the opening of to-
days session of the chamber of deputies,
NJ. Casimer Perrier, president of the
chamber, made a short speech congrat-
ulating France upon the Franco-Russian
alliance.
M. Dupuy, the prime minister, then
read the government programme. The
ministry, he said. would oppose
the proposition for the separation
of church and state, the country
not having returned majority in its
favor. IL would also combat the re-
establishment of the system Of voting by
districts, iustifying this stand on the re-
suit obtained by district voting, and
would oppose an inquisitorial progressive
income tax.
Continuing, NJ Dupuy said that the
government would oppose socialists and
other collectivists who are aspiring TO
substitute state tyranny for individual
liberty. 1t would allow no change to be
made in the educational or military laws,
both of which were leading features of
the republics Legislation, and were neces-
sary TO complete the social laws inspired
by the human solidarity.
NEW BILLS TO BE INTRODUCED.
The prime ministers promised that bills
would be introduced providing for hy-
gienic reforms, the care of fabandoned,chil-
dren, the establishment Of cooperative
societies, in which laborers shall share in
the profits, the conversion of the Al per
cent. rentes, reform of the alcohol tax,
for a settlement of the Bank of France
question for n reorganization Of the police,
so as to give the public solid guarantees
against anarchists, and for the regulation
of the manufacture, SALE and transporta-
tion of explosives. Measures respecting
the liberty of association were also prom
ised. The programme Is an essentially
moderate progressive one, and its an
nouncement was greeted with cheers by
the supporters of the government.
M. Jaurer spoke for an hour.
Premier Dupuy replied, and demanded
a vote of confde nee. Eventually the de-
bate was adjourned until Thursday. 1t
Isl expected that NM. Locroy, Naquet,
Goblet and six other prominent deputies
will Jake part in Thursdays debate.
A statement of the government pro
gramme, similar TO that made by Premier
Dupuy, in the chamber of deputies, was
read in the Senate by Eugene Gerringer,
and was loudly applauded.

BURGLARS START A BLAZE.
Eight Houses Burned, at a Loss of
$4,000.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 21.-Jonesville,
one of Birmingham's most thriving
suburbs, situated just over the hill from
Oak Hill cemetery, was visited this morn
ing by one of the most disastrous fires in
the history of this city. Eight houses,
seven of them dwellings and one a store
house, succumbed to the fiery ele-
ment one by one and it seemed for a
while as if every house on Jonesville
Hights was doomed
AT ll:l0 o'clock a. m. fire was discov-
cred in the grocery store of Reynolds
Bros, and Immediately an alarm was
sounded. The Northside hose brigade
promptly climbed the long hill to the
scene, but by the time they had arrived
and had run two lines of hose the fire,
with the wind blowing at fifty miles an
hour had reached out and seized house
after house in its Favenous mouth, and
tongues of fame leaped heaven ward
For awhile it seemed that every house on
both sides of the avenue, from Eigh teenth
to Nineteenth street on Rush avenue, and
to the rear on both sides, was doomed
but fortune favored the brave, and finally
at 3 clock. after long, hard battle. the
tiremen, with the assistance Of the resi-
dents of Jonesville, came out victorious.
A store and eight dwelling houses were
burned to the ground wi tn a total loss of
about $4,000. with only about SIS, 900 in
surance.
The fire was evidently started by burg
lars after they had finished their work.
After the store had burned to the ground
the door of the safe could be seen at least
six feet from the safe, and all went to
prove that the fire was the work of burg
lars who sought to cover up their work.

sTEvENsoN-DAVIs.
The Vice Presidents Son Welded to
His Republican Sweetheart.

Bloomington, Ill, Nov. 21.-The mar
riage of Louis A. Stevenson, only son Of
the Vice President, and Miss Helen
Louise Davis, both of Bloomington, was
solemnized tonight at the Second Presby-
terian church, of which the groom and
his family are members.
The event was one of unusual signifi-
canoe, from the fact that while the groom
is the son of the democratic Vice Presi-
dent, the bride is the daughter of the edi-
tor and owner of a republican newspaper,
which has always opposed Mr.. Stevenson
politically.
The wedding ceremony was performed
in the presence of 1 200 people, the church
being beautifully adorned with white
chrysanthemums.
Rev. J. B. Muellor, pastor of the Unita-
rian church, the church of the bride, per-
formed the Episcopal ceremonies with
the ring.
DR.. Kane, pastor of the groom's church,
delivered a prayer, and the congregation
recited the Lords prayer in unison.
The bridal party entered the church to
the music of the wedding march in
Lohengrin, and left it to the music of
Mendelssohn's bridal march. A brilliant
reception at the home of the parents of
the bride followed. Mr. and Mrs. Steven
son will sail for France on Dec. 9, and on
their return in February, will reside at
the Hotel Normandie, Washington.
Among the guests were Secretary of the

DEATH IN A HOTEL FIRE.
Seven Workmen and Probably More
Perish Near Beaver, Pa.

Beaver, Pa, Nov. 2l.-The Merrill
house, at the government dam, two miles
below this city, was destroyed by fire
early this morning, and an unknown num-
Der of men were burned to death. The
building was a 3-story frame used for a
hotel and boarding house to accommodate
the employees at the new dam which has
been under course of construction for the
past year. The register was burned, and
there is no way of exactly determining
how many lives were lost. Seven charred
bodies have been taken out Of the ruins,
only one of which can be identified, that
of an engineer named Hughes A number
of those who escaped were badly burned
and injured by jumping.
But for the anxiety of Jerry j. WIenn
and his son Daniel, each for the others
safety, both might have been saved The
boy was out safe Missing his father he
re-entered the building to hunt for him
Daniel had scarcely disappeared when
the father came out searching for his boy
When told that Daniel was in the build
ing looking for him, the father also re-
turned and neither was seen again.

DEATH IN AN EARTHQUAKE.
A Thousand Lives Lost by the De
struction Of Kuchan.

London, Nov. 2l.-A special dispatch to
the Times from Meshed brings further de-
tails of the earthquake that occurred on
Friday at Kuchan, in the northern part of
the province OF Khorassan. The town
was completely destroyed and the
loss of life is immense Great Gre
vases opened in the earth, through
which water flowed in torrent, causing
the Atrek river TO overflow its banks.
The fertile region around the city is inun-
dated, and large gardens and extensive
vineyards have been swept out Of exist
ence. The people of Kuchan had no
chance TO save anything The shock was
so severe that the largest houses in town,
including the residence of theagovernor,
almost instantly toppled over, crushing
hundreds of people TO death. The town
had population of between 10000 and
25, 900 persons, and it is thought that at
least 900 perished. Many persons were
carried away by the flood that flowed
down the valley.
1t is not known yet what damage was
done in the valley, but it is feared that
many villages below Kuchan have been
destroyed.
