DYNAMITE IN HIS POCKET.

Fatally ManQlad

AS Result a Missouri Schoolboy Was
Fatally Mangled.
Springfield, Mo-, Oct. 21.-Raymond,
the 12-year-old son of A. D. Allen. stem
ographer in the circuit court, went to
school carrying portion of stick of
dynamite. The explosive, which the
boy had found in stone quarry, was
in his pocket with knife, top and mar
bles and quantity of other things
common to boys pockets. In getting
into his seat the boy banged his dam
gerous collection against the desk,
causing an explosion which will prob
ably cost his life and which was heard
for two blocks. The child's right hand
was blown of and in his right groin
terrible wound was inflicted, from
which, the surgeons say, he cannot re-
cover. The teacher, Miss Mack, was
close by and had her skirts torn into
shreds, but she was not hurt. The ex-
plosion caused panic among the other
children, and several were hurt in try
ing to get out of the building.

SALISBURYS REPLY
To the Proposals Of the American
Bimetallic Commission.
INDIA MINIS TO REMAIN CLOSED.


Tho British Premier Declares THAT
the Government Is Unable to Open
Them at present-Germany VIII Not
Force Tariff war.
London. Oct. 2t.--Lord Salisbury last
night sent TO Ambassador Hay the reply
OF the British government to the pro-
pogals OF the American bimetallic spe-
cial commission headed by Senator
Wolcott. IT Is automatically worded
note. His iordship says that the gov
eminent OF Great Britain Is not able
to reopen the India minis at present.
He regrets the inability to accede to the
proposals OF the American commission
ers. Great Britain having as great an
interest as the United States and
France in securing a stable par ex-
change for gold and silver and an en-
larged use of silver.
In these circumstances, continues Lord
Salisbury, the British government does
not see the desirability of an interna-
tional monetary conference, but will be
pleased to consider any other practi-
cal suggestions from the United States
Lord Salisbury encloses with the note
a copy Of the statement of Sir James
Westland, head Of the financial depart
ment of India, which was under discus
sion at the meeting Of the cabinet
council last Saturday and which takes
strong grounds against the reopenine
of the India mints.
Ambassador Andrew White came
from Berlin last Saturday. He has
avoided publicity, but has had several
conferences with Senator Wolcott In
the course of an interview with the
correspondent of the Associated Press
Mr.. White said that Germany's action
as to bimetallism will depend upor
England's. Discussing the possibility
of a tariff war, Mr.. White said:
Il do not believe that Germany will
inaugurate a tariff war with the United
States. The German press and many
German statesmen have been very bit
ter against the Dingley law, but
think they are now beginning to realize
that an increased prosperity will enable
the United States to buy as much as
under the lower tariff"

Hope for Carpenter.
From the Camden Democrat ]

eff James D. Carpenter is not elected to
the Assembly from Gloucester county then
we will never have any further use for the
argument predicating elections on the eter-
nal fitness of things. Mr.. Carpenter is a
Democrat, and halls from a county that is
claimed to be Republican, but more than
enc Democrat, without the distinguished
attributes, qualifications and claims Of
Editor Carpenter have been returned, and
the chances are that the voters of the
county, recognizing in our old friend one
of Natures up-to- date noblemen, will give
him sure figure upon which to land in

did not Yield freedom of speech when he
consented to remain at the head of Brown
University. Last week he delivered an
address to bis Baptist brethren in Chicago
on Europe's Greater Public Questions y
and in the course of it said, as reported:
Great Britain regarded the United States
still as colony. We might laugh at the
idea, but the fact remained that, from the
heggar in the street to the Prime Minister
in Downing street, America was nothing
but part of the empire. The United States
was not feared in England, he said. and
the fiscal policy of our country was dictated
by British agents in the capital. A strong
er national sentiment in the United States
was necessary to preserve our traditions
