ALL AMERICA Is ANXIOUS,
Fully 80 messages arrived at the West
ern Union Office to-day from all parts of
tho United States to various people here.
The purport of all the kilograms was
"Are you safe?" About 2)0 messages of
a similar import we're received at the
Rocky Mountain oili,e. A great number
of kilograms were sent out also.
GOD PITY THE POOR.
One man sent n telegram about his son
being killed. and he had 10 cents left after
paying for the dispatch. What adds to
the suffering of the occasion is that those
killed and injured were almost all among
the poorer classes of Butte's people. A
telegram was sent to Charles IL. Robbins,
who is al a ranch near Red Rock lake,
notifying him of the death of his father,
Prof. Edwin Robbins.
The Silver Bow delegates to the legisla-
ture came over from Helena tonight and
collected $50 among themselves, which
they left at the STANDARD office. The
money was turned over TO Mr.. Hennessy,
as are all subscriptions left at the STAN
DARD office.
The Silver Bow legislators state that
they will raise quite sum in the Mon
tana legislature.

A Recent Publication That Must Now
Undergo Startling Revision.
Last month q dainty little pamphlet
vas issued with Christmas compliments
of the Butte fire department. 1t gives
the history of the department from the
time of its organization, and its roster of
officers for the central station was:
Angus ID. Cameron, chief.
J. T. Sloan, assistant chief.
Dave Magee, driver OF hose wagon.
l.. L. Sloan, hoseman.
Dave Moses, hoseman.
Alfred jackson, hoseman.
sam Ash, hoseman.
George Fifer, driver of hook and ladde~
truck.
Z. j. Norling, ladderman.
1t startles one TO check OFT this list so
lately printed only TO discover that all but
two of these are dead. with one of the
two survivors in a condition that must be
considered critical. OF Chief Cameron
the souvenir pamphlet says: Mr.. Cam
cron's administration has IN many re-
spects been noteworthy. Improvements
promised long ago have been made az
hIs suggestion. the total yearly fire losses
have been comparatively small and the
marked efficiency of the department
Is due TO the kind and courteous

they were blown to pieces.
Pieces of arms, legs, heads and other
portions of body were picked up all day
around tho devastated district and were
placed in box at the Butte undertaking
rooms. They represent possibly three
men.
SOME or THE DEAD HEROES.
Ed Sloan. brother of the assistant
chief, was bright boy of 10 years. who
was fireman because he loved the work.
Dave Moses was not "A married man,
but lived with his now heartbroken
mother at the corner of Gold and Mon
tana streets.
The old time Butte Fire Brigade. which
is now known as the Veteren Firemen's
association held q meeting tonight at
which committee of j. +. Beck, Geo. {.

Bausmau and a. j. Dusseau was APP
pointed. The committee will get TO work
at once and furnish assistance wherever
needed. The committee is backed up by
we'll filled treasury and charity will be
dispensed with a generous hand, in mer-
itorous cases. The association decided
to attend the firemen's funeral in a body.
James O'Leary was the young son of
Yardmsster O'Leary of the Montana Gen.
trail.
Charles Grottonberg was employed as n
tinsmlth at the Butte Hardware COM
pany's store.
j. B. Miller, of Salmon City. who was
one of the victims of the explosion, was a
young attorney from Idaho. The remains
will be shipped for interment tomorrow
to that city.
1t is thought to-day that Charles Hof-
bauer, an employe of the Western Iron

pair of shoes at the Red Boot store last
evening. leaving the store a short time be-
fore the fire. The shoes have been picked
up at the scene of the fire and identified
at the Red Boot as the pair sold to Hoff-
bauer. Hoffbauer has been missing ever
since. His sister lives in Bozeman and
his mother lives in Winona, MINI. He
was not married.
AS TO DAVE MOSES.
There is a mystery regarding Dave
Moses. Harry Ayrshire, who was active
in the work of rescue, states positively
that he helped Moses in the carrying out
of bodies after the third explosion. He
cannot account for Dawes disappearance.
A messenger boy says he saw Moses help
put Sloan into the wagon. This must be
a mistake.
A lot of papers were picked up among
the debris bearing the name of Nelson
MofIitt.

A deeper spot in the ocean than any
yet known has been recently found by
II. NJ. surveying ship Penguin I'm
fortunately the observation was not
complete, as fault in the wire caused
it TO break when 1900 fathoms had run
out without bottom having been found.

previous attempt to reach bottom had
been foiled by similar accident to the
wire when 1880 fathomS had passed
out and the rising wind and sea pre-
vented any further attempt at the time.
AS the deepest cast hitherto obtained is
one of 4,655 fathOms. near Japan, it is

Large Meeting in His Honor Held a

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Five thousand
people were present at Battery D when

his return from Woodstock reached the
hall Orrin E. Woodbury. was Chair
man He introduced Henry G.. Lloyd
Of Chicago, who in the course of his re-
marks said that Mr.. Debs was to-day
the most popular man in the United
States by the real people, because he
was the repudiator of Government by
injunction.
Mr. Lloyd was followed by ex-Gov-
ernor Waite, who made a characteristic
speech.
Tommy Morgan read letters from Au-
gust McGrath, Secretary Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor; ]. S. COXey,
John Swinton, Rev. Herbert n. Casson

Debs was greeted with tremendous
applause as he made his way to the
front of the platform. The crowd had
hardly allowed the Chairman to intro
duce the labor leader before it again
which continued for some time. After
broke forth in tumultuous cheering
which continued for some time. After
order had been restored Debs delivered
a long address on the labor question.
After the meeting Debs talked freely
Of his plans for the future, which are
however, as yet only in embryo. He in
tends to start a weekly industrial
journal, of which he will be editorin-
chief, and reiterates the statement that
he will never again accept money from
a ,aboring organization or personally
conduct a strike. An extensive lecture
tour around the country is cOntemplat-
ed, and it is probable that before this is
finished nothing else will be begun. He
also ayers that he will have nothing
whatever to do with politics in the fu-
ture.
Towards the United States Courts he
says he now feels no bitterness. II
is the fault of the system. rather thar

laws will have to be changed before

THE VILLAGE OF CANA.
4 Picture of Life There During the
Time OF Christ.


Time OF Christ.
Cana was a thriving village on the great
highway through the hills est of the Sea
OF Gali!ee. From the main road a num-
Der of narrow, irregular streets wandered
up and along a low hillside, ana were
bordered by houses there were built
mostly of stone. The Inhabitants had
need for thrift and industry, if 1t were
only because OF the gatherers; for
Herod Antipas was building palaces, for
tresses and cities. He was living in mag
niiicence, as were his many officers. All
the people Of his d0mlnlons paid taxes
and Dribes to him and them.
While the consequences were often
painful enough, there were no signs OF
actual poverty IN the vicinity of the well.
1t stood several PAGES in front of a dwell
ing, two stories in hight, which seemed
somewhat better than its neigh bors. The
porch along its lower story was thickly
clad with vines, and from under these the
girl had come TO bring her jar to the well.
A jewish maiden OF nearly 10 was ac
counted full-grown woman, and the
slightness of her graceful figure did not
interfere with an air OF maturity which
her present state of mind much in
creased. Her simple dress, that became
her SO well, WAS OF good materials.
Ranged on either side of the well were
six large, cumbrous-lookIng waterpots of
stoneware, partly filled, for the convent
ence OF any person wishing to perform
the foot or hand ablutions required by the
exaoting ceremonial law OF The Jews.
The vine-clad porch was a pleasant
place. 1t was provided with wooden
benches, and on one of these sat a man
who seemed to consider himself person
OF Importance. Every movement, and
even his attitude when sitting STILL might
be said TO accord with u conviction that
he, Rabbi Isaac Ben Nsssur, was the
wisest, the most learned man in Cana.
He was very tall, as well as broad and
heavy; and his thick, gray beard came
down to the voluminous sash that was
folded around his waist. His eyebrows
were black and projecting; his nose was
prominent; his black eyes were piercing
| he was dressed as became rabbi, or
any other highly respectable Jew, in q
long, linen tunic with sleeves that was
belted by the sash. Over this he wore a
long, loosely flowing robe, called an
abba" also of linen. Around his
shoulders, with the ends falling in front,
was 8 broad, white wooden scarf with
narrow bars of red and purple and blue.
and with blue tassels at the corners OF
! each Of it's two ends. This was the tai
lith," and was worn as a reminder that
the wearsr must remember all the COM
mandments OF the law and faithfully per-
form them.-William 0. Stoddard in st.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. %. - The
Freeman w estinghouse controversy took
a new and unexpected turn to-day. II.
s. Mackaye. attorney for the Westing-
house Company, suddenly departed for
New York, thus practically abandoning
the defense. He left a note for Attorney
Church, representing the plaintiff, Walter
K. Freeman, wherein he stated that cir
cumstances required his immediate pres
ence in New York. He also filed GER
titicate with United States Commissioner
Heacock. requesting the latter to put it
on the testimony taken here.
Thus far but two witnesses for the de-
fense have been examined-Wallace Il.
Freeman and Marvin l.. Freeman. The
deposition of the former. while favorable
to the Westing ghouse Company, remains
unsigned, and is therefore useless. Mar
win l.. Freeman, although brought
hither as a Westinghouse witness, ad-
hered to his original testimony delivered
in Chicago in favor Of the plaintiff. His
examination will be concluded with a
few unimportant questions tomorrow,
when the notorious case will doubtless

concerned.
1t is understood that Alexander II.

contemplated following the footsteps of
his brother Marvin L., and this knowl-

that it was his intention to have

THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY.
Mexico Claiming Territory North OF
the Rio Grande.

INC INiO
Ell PASO tTex.), Nov. 22.-For several
days there has been great excitement
among the residents in the southern por-
ton OF this city over rumor to the effect
that the Rio Grande was no longer to be
tho dividing line between this country
and Mexico. especially at this point. This
rumor originated from the fact that the
Mexican engineers of the International
Boundary Commission, now in session
here, have been surveying and placing
monuments through the southern por-
tion OF the city, running their lines on
Second street, so as to take in strip of
the city over mile long and six blocks
deep.
The American Commissioner was
called here to consider the claim of
Mexico. and W hile that claim has not yet
been submitted, 1t is understood that
Mexico will claim territory on the north
side of the river within the corporate
limits of FL Paso, on the ground that the
original channel of the river runs almost
because of embankments the flood
the Mexican shore.
Mexicans living in the southern por-
ton of the city are SO confident their
homes will soon be conceded TO be on
Mexican soil that they are flying the
Mexican colors from their house tops,
but under the the Guadaloupe- Hidalgo
treaty the boundary line was fixed in
| 1852 where the river runs.
