A SHOCKING DEATH ON A TUG
Fireman Thompson Literally Killed
by Inches.

Seattle, WASH. March 1.--Albert Thomp-
son, fireman on the tug Mystic, was lit
orally killed by inches Sunday morning,
under the most horrifying circumstances
The shocking accident occurred just as
the boat was working slowly out into TIE
stream. Thompson was shutting off
drain cock when he slipped and fell rom
the platform into the cockpit six feet be-
low In some manner, not clearly eX-
planned, both legs were caught by the re-
vclving crank, and he was wound up in
the machinery to his hips. AS the throt-
tie was only a third open, he stopped the
engine, and his cries brought the engineer
to his aid.
A desperate effort was made to release
the suffering man, but after the Mortified
crew had worked half an hour only one
leg had been released. 1t was then found
impossible to eXtricate the remaining leg,
and a surgeon was brought aboard to am
putate it. Thompson died a few minutes
after this operation. 1t took 10 minutes
to pick the pieces of flesh out of the ma
chinery.

Emperor William Resents the Tone
of the Rritish Govern Iilent.

Emperor William Resents the Tone
of the British Government.
London, March 1.-The Daily Chronicle
says there is little doubt that the serious
hitch in the concert of the powers is due
first to lack of wisdom on the part of the
government, and secondly to the wrath
of Emperor William, who, the Chronicle
says, deeply resents the form of Lord
Salisburys announcement of the policy
of Great Britain toward Crete, especially
the suggestion that Great Britain has
taken the lead in the concert Continu-
ing, the Chronicle says:
This indiscretion was enhanced by Mr..
Curzon's most unfortunate speech, in
which he said the solution was mainly
due to Lord Salisbury. 1t is understood
the emperor, in retaliation, made himself
responsible for the official communication
from ST. Petersburg on Thursday last. in
which Russia threatened the immediate
coercion of Grcace, failing her instant
compliance.
There is reason to believe the attitude
OF the emperor has not been influenced
by serious reports which have reached
Berlin as to the present relations between
England and the Transvaal."
