Of John Cummings Father, mother,
baby and grandmother are there awaiting
the outcome of the inquiry which Cor
oner Maui has begun into the cause of the
tragedy which startled the city this morn
ing.
Cummings had been in i'll health for
some time, and according to 12year-old
Tommy Fox. who was present, he de-
fberately set fire to his own house and
caused the death of his mother-in-law,
his wife and his 1-year-old baby in the
flames. The little boy tells a straight
forward story, and when asked how tia
fire originated he said:
Cummings was sitting on the edge OF
the bed in a rear room, where Mrs. Cum
mings also was with the baby. Another
person in the room was Mrs. Fox, the
mother of Mrs. Cummings. Cummings
upset the lamp and closed the door, COM
polling all the inmates to Stay there.
They cried, bat he refused to let any OF
them out"
Philip Nathan, next door neighbor.
says that when he first saw the flames he
noticed Mrs. Cummings trying to open
the shutters to the window of the bed
room. He heard her cry out and say:
"My baby is already on fire." Soon after
he saw the woman enveloped in flames.
John Stuart, who occupies the base
ment of the building, says there had been
q great deal of carousing and fighting
overhead for several nights and that
there was scuffie just as the fire broke
out. The evidence SO far shows that
Cummings started the fire in a fit of in
sane rage.

Our Military Resources.

The United States has been said to be
warlike nation without being a mil
ita,y nation Its war potentlallties
are vast. indeed. 1t showed that 30
years ago, when with only little more
til IN half its present population 1t mus
tered more than 100000 men under
arms in the Uuion and Confederate
forces. There are now IN America the
enormous total of 100000 men of mil
itary age eligible FIR military service.
OF course. the actual number of organ
lied. drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States Is ily inadequately
appreciated by the average American.
Never before Was the National Guard
of the several states SO strong in num-
beers, so we'll armed, so eXceliently dis
ciplined. There are 1880 of these
volunteers in all, representing infantry,
cavalry and artillery. New York heads
the list in numbers with well-squipped
force of 12,S10 officers and men. Penn
sylvania has force of 8,6l4, whose
mettle was tried two years ago at Home
stead; OHIO has 6,I25, and Massachus-
etts ,666. The states in which the
present strike centers are well pre-
pared for such an emergency. Illinois
militia body musters ATT men; Indi-
ana's 1888; Iowa's, 2,351; MIssouri'e,
2,415, and Michigan's, 2,S01, When to
this great army of 100000 men are
added the $4,000 regulars and the 1000
or 1900 blue jackets and marines of the
war ships on the home station, it is OBJ
vious that there is something more than

against any road handling Pullman
coaches, provided one of said roads does
not handle said coaches. Said boycott
must he carried on in a peaceable man

sued by W. j. Walker, chief of the staff
of the federation. He directs that COM
mittees be appointed in each precinct
in addition to the boycott committee APP
pointed by the A. r. T. to take up this
business.
ut will be the duty of this commit
tee" SAYS the chief, "to canvas the pre-
cinct in which they live, and ascertain
if possible where thev are trading-if
they patroHize merchants patronizing
the boycotted road. Also to notify mer-
chants in their district of the action and
see that it is enforced"
The members of the federation are
confident that similar action will be I'M
mediately taken by the Farmers ALI
ance, the Miners Union the Knights of
Labor and other organizations, which
acting in conjunction with the fedora
ton and the A, r. u, can exert a ire
mendous influence in every corner of the
land.
Next week com mittee will wait up
on every merchant and jobber in the
CITY," said a Spokane member Of the
federation. "They will all be notified
of the boycott. If any jobber persists
in patronizing the railroads the retailers
will be requested to boycott HIM, and
from all who refuse we will withdraw
our patronage. We are in this fight for
life or death. Organized labor has won
every fight it has entered in Spokane,
and will win this. We already have
assurances from three big jobbers that
they will stand by us, SO we cannot be
met by general combination. 1t is a
boycott such as Was never ordered in
the world before, and if need be we will
extend it to the press, the churches, the
schools, and every institution but the

The protectionists said, if you put wool
on the free list the price of wool will fall
so low that the sheep raisers will have to
kill their sheep.
Wool has been placed on the free list,
and the price Of wool has not fallen. The
American sheep has not been destroyed
and is not likely to be. The price of wool
has slightly advanced since the new tariff
bill went into effect, and the Wool and

going to make goods so cheap that they
will be able to compete in the markets of
the world with the manufacturers Of
woolen goods Of other countries.

Falb, the Austrian scientist, seems TO
have guessed pretty straight, after all,
about the earthquake in August. 1t is
true that the quake occurred in Texas,
and not in New York and Florida, but
difference of a few thousand miles is reck-
oned matter of no Importance among
certain scientists. II is true, also, that
the effects Of the quake were local and
comparatively unimportant. whereas Prof.
Falb said New York was to be destroyed
and Florida inundated But these de-
tails, like the difference in locality,
amount TO nothing Falb said the earth
would tremble, and it trembled. Falb
stock will now take a boom with the
credulous. II is worthy of note as a coin
cidence that the Texas quake occurred on
the eighth anniversary of the earthquake
that came so near destroying Charleston.
That great disturbance took place on the
night Of Aug. 81, 1886, and the Texas dis
turbance occurred on Aug. 81, 1894.
