The Astonished Butler.

A titled Englishman was a guest at a
Washington house, and a dinner party
was given in his honor. The host eau
toned the colored butler to address the
Englishman always as My Lord" This
he remembered to do until he passed the
special dish of the occasion, stewed ter
rapin. The appearance of this dish is
not specially inviting, so, when the but
Ter handed it to him, the Englishman
declined it, saving soto voce, 1T looks
uncommonly nawsty." The butler was
so taken aback at the idea of anyone re-
fusing such a delicacy that he forgot
himself and said: But it's terrapin,
my God. ."-Argonaut.

sight into methods concerning which
they have probably been misinformed
they will be dullards indeed.
The member of the Conservative
party in the English Parliament who
has questioned the Government of
Great Britain concerning the Ha-
waiian situation is a model of mac
curacy. He assumes in his question
that the dusky Queen was deposed by
a small body of Americans; that with
out right or title these Americans as
sumed contror' of Hawaii, and to save
themselves from the resentment OF
the people now ask the United States
to annex Hawaii. If these were facts,
the Hawaiian question would be very
different one from what it is. the
Queen was not deposed by party of
Americans, but by party of Ha-
waiians, native and adopted. Amerl-
cans did not assume sovereignty, since
the revolutionary party was composed
of subjects, now citizens of Hawaii.
That they were originally Americans,
or of American parentage, cuts no t1g-
ure in the case. The people are not
manifesting resentment against the
revolutionists who established and
have for five years maintained sue
cessfully and prosperously a repub-
lican form of government. But the
real meat in the Interpolation of the
member of Parliament is disclosed in
the conclusion of his question, name
ly, Does Great Britain propose to al
low the important coaling station of
Hawaii to pass into the hands of the
United States without opposition?
That question, the honorable member
swered on this side of the water. The
United States will not permit the said
coaling station to pass into the hands
Of Japan, Great Britain, or any other
Power. If those who control the
island group maintain there a peace
full and just form of government, and
are recognized the world over as its
administrators, ask the United States
to annex the group, this country will
act with or without the consent Of
Great Britain. But there will be no
trouble over this matter. The Eng
lish Government has already indicated
its non-concern in the affair, and the
Conservative member will have his
pains for nothing.

UNANIMOUSLY on the mission buildings. In
the fierce fight THAT ensued three Chris-
tians were killed outright, eight wounded
and four captured. Particulars are COM

yelling mob attacked the rear and front
of the priests residence, but with the help
of friendly natives he barricaded the back
and facedsthe mob in front with rifle,
but the barricades were broken down. Tie
priest was shot and his body hacked to

WAR MAY YET BE RESUMED.
Peace Negotiations Between Turkey
and Greece Languish.


A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the powers, to whom Greece has in
trusted her interests, show no sil,ns of
yielding any of the three points in the
Turkish demand, the annexation of Thes-
sally, the abolition of the capitulations in
the case of Greek subjects in the Ottoman
empire or an exorbtant indemnity. The
peace negotiations don't seem to make
much progress and there was considerable
disquietude in Athens caused by the ap-
parently reliable statement that the nego-
cations were in danger of collapsng al
together. The ministers who were ques-
toned on the subject, however, had no
definite news of an official character and
expressed the opinion that the news was
without foundation. 1t is said on good
authority that the powers are now trying
to induce Turkey to sign general peace
conditions defining broad limits within
which Turkey and Greece should after
ward settle details by direct negotiation.
This news is regarded at Athens with
dismay as a breach Of faith ON the part
Of the powers and as leaving Greece to
the tender mercies of the Sultan. 1t is
believed by many good judges at Athens
that Greece may yet have TO fight for her
very existence. Already there are reports
that the Turks have advanced in the
Agrapha district, occupied several villages
and are still advancing toward the town
Of Ag,lpha. Greece has protested to the
powers against this violation of the arms

IT WAS NOT A FOUL BLOW,
Although Veriscope Pictures of the
Carson Battle Show 1t.


Carson Battle Show 1t.
A recent issue Of the New York Jour
nal reproduced Fitzsimmons' last blow,
as shown in the veriscope. 1t depicts Cor
bett with his left hand to his heart, his
right glove resting on the stage, his left
knee bent and his right almost touching
the stage. In this position he was abso-
lutely helpless. The paper claims that
this picture verified Billy Brady's state
ment that Fitzsimmons fouled Corbett in
the last round. Sports who saw the fight
do not agree with that conclusion. 1t is
true that Corbett, in the position shown,
is absolutely helpless and defenseless, but
he is not "down" in the strict sense of the
meaning of the rules of the ring. The
men fought under the rules of the Mar
quis of Queensberry. These rules expli-
city state that all points Of fighting, not
covered by them, are to be governed by
the latest rules of the London prize ring.
Under the prize ring rules a man is not
"down" unless one knee and one hand
are touching the stage. Besides, the ex-
PLANTATION says that the veriscope shows
that Fitzsimmons struck at Corbett's jaw
as Jim was sinking to the stage. No
doubt his intention was to knock him out

with the blow. 1t was not intended as a
foul. The picture shows that Fitzsim-
mons was in full possession of his senses.
He was not swinging wildly with his
arms like those of threshing machine"
but that he cleverly avoided lead by
Corbett. AS Corbett's arm went over
his shoulder Bob saw how exposed the
pit of his stomach was. He shot his left
into it with agonizing force. and then.
as Corbett was half pitching. half sinking
forward to his knees. Bob rapidly drew
back his left and again shot it forward.
1t caught Corbett on the jaw just the
fraction of a second before he was
"down," according to a strict interpreta-
ton of the rules of the ring.

CRASH OF FIREWORKS.


Scores OF Persons Are Hart By Ire.
nendous kxp1osion I'm Chicago.
Somebody stepped on percussion cap
In Nathan Shure's fireworks factory, 30
South Haisted street, Chicago, Tuesday
afternoon. There was a fash, tiny nest
of sparks In a mass of sawdust and shaw
ings and then terror. A small explosion
was followed a second later by detona-
ton that was tremendous In its force and
effect. The building was rent asunder.
Skyrockets were set of In every direction
and whirled and Kissed AN through the
structure and out wrecked doors and win
dows. The boom of giant crackers and
the sharp crash of smaller bombs pune
tured the hiss of the darling rockets. Then
the whole place was ablaze. Across the
street a fat building filed with terror
stricken families had been ignited by a
rocket.
Flying beams, bricks and stones struck
men, women and children who were in the
streets. Horses ran away and trampled
people to the pavements. Cries of terror
and pain from injured and frightened men
and women were answered by the gongs
of fire engines and ambulances, and the
wonder of 1t all is that sudden and awful
death harvest was not reaped. AS it APP
peared the following morning, only one
person was fatally hurt. Scores were in
jured. Nobody knows how many. Men
were cut and bruised, but were able to go
home. Others were attended to in stores
and Offices. Those who needed doctors
were carried to the county hospital, and
in some cases to their homes.
The one victim who died is woman
who was struck by runaway horse. All
this terror started about o'clock. One
of the two employees who CHANGED to be in
the establishment had ignited the percus-
sion cap. Shavings, paper. sawdust and
gunpowder did the rest The sidewalks
were crowded when the panic came. REQ
pie were hurrying home on foot and in
street cars. Many of these are in the list
of injured, and another and more grew
some list would have been added If the
employees of the factory had been at work.
The financial loss was considerable. Build
ings and stores in the neighborhood were
damaged at least $4,000.

Charles Barber, Washington patent
attorney, who had gained much notoriety

Dorothy Il. Squires, and then, turning
the revolver on himself, put pistol ball
through his brain, causing almost instan-
taneous death. Barber had considerable
of patent practice, but had been grow
ing more and more eccentric for several
years, and of late many of his friends
thought him mentally unbalanced. Miss
Squires formerly worked for him as a
stenographer, and upon leaving his en-
ploy he annoyed her with his attentions.
threatening to injure her if she would
not permit him to call. Finally the mat
ter became so serious that she had to ap-
peal TO the courts for protection and Bar
Der was placed under bonds to keep the
peace. He seems not to have desisted,
however, for since then the girl had re-
ceived several threatening letters from
him, in the last of which he announced
that he would do something which they
both would regret. Miss Squires was
shot in the back of the head, but at the
Emergency Hospital. whittier she was
taken. it is said that the wound probably
will not result seriously.
