AS a Friend"

The JOURNALS article suggestive Of
Cumberland's inevitable final resort
for good water to other sources than
the polluted streams which, in the ag-
gregate, are called Potomac river"
seems to have stirred the fossils of
the city's entire animal kingdom.
Aside from private advices, the tur-
MOL finds printed expression in the
independent, now Il diurnal organ of
those who represent the philosophy Of
the antediluvians.
With these, of course, the JOURNAL
does not wish to argue Il question Of
taste or relish for unpulped mine water,
but it is its desire to repel the charge
that "the JOURNAL is an enemy of
Cumberland"
1t is alleged that
If the JOURNAL saw anything good for
Cumberland in. abandoning the pulp mill
prosecution it would hope that the prosecu-
ton might be pushed vigorously to the end. :;

hope, will never SO far lose their heads as to

Frostburg JOURNAL has not been an enemy
of the city for the past ten years it is not the
fault of the JOURNAL. In all of that time it
has never been able to find anything too
mean to print about this city or its people
And SO on.
The JOURNAL pleads not guilty.
1t has shown, it is true, that Cum
berland has gotten and is getting
about twice as much from the county
as it pays that the county gets
nothing from its revenue that the city
can keep, and that the higher the
taxes the bigger is Cumberland's
dividend.
And so on.
These are truths which do not imply
enmity. They mean friendship.
Moreover, if the JOURNAL has sought
to make Potomac water more and
more disgusting as a necessity of life.
was not the ultimate intent friendly ?
When the missionary denounces sin is
it not because he is a lover of the
sinner?
The Independent is wholly wrong as
much so as some people in Frostburg,
once lnveterately opposed to a town
water supply system. The JOURNAL
commended for this desideratlm for
years, mourning unhappily even strain
ed relations with valued friends, some
dead, but those living and enjoying
its blessings would not now consent to
part with it for three times its cost.
Thus turns the wheel of fortune.
The enemies of the true publicist Of
to-day are his friends tomorrow.

HUNGARIAN POLITICS
The Diet Meets and the Usual Disorder
Ensues

BUDA PESTH, Dec. I'm the lower
house of the Hungarian diet today some
noisy scenes occurred. The letter of DIR.
Szeilagyi, president of the chamber of depu-
ties, announcing his resignation, foreshad-
owed yesterday, was read, and DIR. L.. Lang.
one of the vica presidents, whose determines
tion to resign was announced at the same
time, personlly announced his resignation.
Francis Kossuth, in behalf of his party.
and Palonyi for the independents, proposed
that no cognizance be taken of Szilagyi's
resignation, whereupon the uproar made
his remarks inaudible. When he could make
himself heard, the premier denied that the
government desired DR.. Szilagyi to make
use of the rules of the house and employ
force. A resolution was adopted asking DIR,
Szilagyi to withdraw his resignation.
The reference to the employment of force
in the remarks of the Hungarian premier
apparently refers to the alleged intention
Of Baron Banffy to carry on the governments
next year by DEGREES, owing to the failure
of Austria Hungary to come to a satisfac-
tory arrangement for the government of the
dual monarchy.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) AS a result OF the meetings OF
the senate committee on the Nicaragua
canal TODAY, Senator Morgan gave notice
of an amendment to the Nicaragua canal
bill authorizing the immediate issuance,
with a guarantee by this government, OF
$4,000. 900 worth OF bonds for the redemption
OF all outstanding stock, except that held by
the governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rlca. and the cancellation of all obligations.
He submitted at the same time a report
upon the situation with reference to the
canal, dealing exclusively with the fact that
the government of Nicaragua granted a con-
cession to construct canal to another COM
pany than the Maritime Canal company.
He denounced this transaction in severe
terms, upholding the rights of the Maritime
company for the present and for an exten-
sion of its concession for ten years more.
The report arraigns the conduct of the re-
public of Nicaragua, as well as that of the
American citizens securing the new con-
cession, in most severe terms, attributing
the course of Nicaragua to jealousy of Costa
Rica and that of the concesssionaries' desire
to ''obstruct a great national policy by SELL
ing out to transcontinental railroad COM
pany for the defeat OF a supposed com.
petitor.'
The committee adduces as justification OF
the new report the seriousness of the situa-
ton, saying on this point:
"The serious consequences likely to result
to the United States from the unpre-
cedented and unwarranted action of the late
government of Nicaragua and the evident
purpose to force our government into the

toward two huge iron tanks located just
| to the north of the warehouse, they surned
and fed in terror. Both of these tanks con-
tanned gasoline, and it was feared they
would explode in an instant and scatter the
blazing fluid for acres round. Each tank
had a capacity of 250000 gallons, but there
was not more than 10000 gallons of the fluid
in each. Onward the tongues of flame leaped,
licking their way across the roof of the
warehouse, i'll they touched and played
with the big tanks. 1t was wild playful
ness, though, and lasted but a moment.
Without an instant Of warning, there sud-
denly leaped straight from the mouth of one
Of these tanks whitish, blush column,
crowned with a golden red, that shot up
ward into the heavens fully 200 feet. 1t
fingered but aE instant, and then died as
suddenly as it had been born. The fluid
had generated gas in the upper portion of
the tank, and the instant the flames touched
this airy stuff, it blazed out, and as the TOP
of the tank was the easiest vent, it escaped
that way, instead of forcing open the sides
of the iron, with an explosion. Once more
the flames leaped up from the top Of the
tank, but they We're as dwarfs compared
with the first column. They burned with
great fury, though, and thick black clouds of
smoke began to roll upward. The flames
ran to the east, and attacked the smaller
gasoline tanks in the middle of the yards,
and soon had them blazing fifty feet into the
air. Bright columns went shooting upward

above all, fear lest some of the tanks of
infiammable fluid would explode with dead
" effect, kept them at IL safe distance.
A NARROW ESCAPE
Directly in front OF the warehouse, across
the Southern Pacific railroad tracks, were
two frame buildings, both ice houses, one
the property OF the California Fruit ex-
press and the other of the Southern Pacific.
Hot as was the air and place, both of the
houses were very much out of season, and
it seemed as if they would be removed by
the flames, which seemed to regard their
appearance as challenge from a weaker
element. Running along the northwest cor
ner of the warehouse was a platform from
which the freight cars were unloaded, and
back Of this platform was a high board
fence, which separated it from one of the
big $50, 900 gallon tanks containing gasoline.
Assistant Chief Smith had a force of men
at work on this end, and some of the crowd
got onto the platform and began to chop
down the fence. One of them got over the
| fence and was directly under the shadow
| of the north wall of the warehouse. The
flames had been feeding on the contents of
this place Tor probably an hour and the in
| tense heat had softened the walls until
they We're shaking and ready to topple over
| The edge of the San Fernado street side
began to tremble, but still the fireman CON
| tinued to chop down the fence, unmindful
| OF his impending danger. Come out there y
yelled Smith, "the wall is ready to fall But
still the man worked on. The front wall
| was beginning to topple, and it seemed as
if the side over his head would follow the

there, tell you," shouted Smith again, and
this time the fireman heard and he came
sprawling through the fence just as the up
per half of the front wall fell with crash
to the ground. just as he came bounding
out between the boards the men holding
the nozzle turned it SO that the stream
struck the daring man squarely on the crown
of the head and nearly knocked him down.
A NEW DANGER
In a short time the flames reached the big
tank, and right back of it stood another of
exactly the same capacity. The people ex-
pected both to go, but only one was doomed.
The flames attacked the tank, and the
smoke and fire rolled up in vari-colored
clouds. The wind, which had until this
moment been from the southwest, veered
the tongues of flame belchng across the
Southern Pacific tracks toward those two
ice houses. Within a minute the property
of the California Fruit express began to
smoke and the paint on the east side to
shrivel up, as the Eccles cottage had done
before
"It's goodby to those ice houses now,'
yelled the crowd. But Smith turned the
line of hose in the direction of the new
danger, and while several Of the men held
up boards to protect the faces OF the others
from the intense heat, the balance of the
crew directed the water against the steam
ing sides. The wind changed in a little
while and the danger to the ice house was
over.
The widest fury of the flames was shown
inside the yard, where the smaller tanks
