these disheartening losses have been one OF
the chief factors in the decline of the White
water valley.
Perhaps so: but another very important
factor is clearly traceable That is the rail-
road influence. One of the most striking
and interesting things in the development or
the State Is the part the railroads have
played They have made and unmade cities
and swung the tide of progress from section
to section. Practically they mark out
straight lines between great commercial
centers, and little centers established under
the old order of things that happen TO be
aloof from these modern conduits OF traffic
and doomed TO desuetude from which even
connecting railroad branches cannot save
them. The lower Whitewater exemplihes
this The great trunk lines between Indian
apolis and the East and Cincinnati passed
to the north and west and south, leaving
the once famous locality out of the new
currents.
1t is advisable to say these things in q
small still voice lest some present resident
of the peaceful valley hear and resent, for,
to the average American ''slowness'' is
equivalent to ignominy, and those who are
slow pretend not to be. To some, however.
the bucolic Whitewater with its grass
grown towns full of quiet byways is worth
all the Wanted hurry -burly; and the old dis
used canal with its crumbling, ivy-grown
locks, it's occasional ruined warehouse or
aqueduct. is better than the railroad with
it's snorting engine One can rest there and
dream a little with a sense of privacy. the
beautiful hill ranges on either hand making
a barrier against the fussy, noisy, busting
outer world. All up and down that valley
and in every little town is material to slim
ulate the imagination, and sometimes when
the pace that kills has killed off the present
generation, and sweet meditation and leis-
ure shall become a factor of life once more,
a dreamer may arise who will find in that
little world of the past ample inspiration 1or

HIGHER Court Notes

The Supreme Court met yesterday for a
four days session, which will precede the
summer adjournment. The Irvington in
junction case was up for consideration, and
Judge Hackney peremptorily dismissed it
without comment. The case is one in which
Oliver P. Hay appealed to the court from
the decision of the Marion county Superior
Court, which dissolved the temporary in
junction against the trustees of Irvington
accepting bids and awarding contracts for
the paving of Washington street. The tram
script in the case shows that as soon as the
restraining order had been dissolved the
trustees awarded the contract. The appel
liant waited until the town election indicated
that the new trustees were in favor of the

SIX KILLED.
Terrible Explosion Takes
Place in Powder Mill.

St. Louis, Mo-. Nov, PA special to
the Republic from Quincy, H., says:
THE powder mill at Lamotte, Mo. sit
uated so miles south of here. on the
k line and half a. mile from Ashburn,
blew up at 7.55 this morning, killing six
men and wounding several others. The
names of the dead follow: VIM. Will
son, foreman and son of Manager AL
fred Wenz, Albert Miller, D. NJ Smith,
VIM. CharlestOWn and Jack Hollinger.
The explosion took place in the pack
ing house and was so terrific as to be
heard and felt distance Of % miles.
Until the truth was known, the inhab-
itants thought it was an earthquake.
At New Canton, windows were broken
and everywhere buildings shaken The
exact cause of the explosion will never
be known, as all the men in the pack
ing house at the time were blown TO
atoms. Something like ten thousand
pounds Of powder was usually kept IN
the packing house Which was a frame
structure. During the day men were
engaged with buckets gathering up
such bits Of flesh and bones as they
could find. A piece of spinal column
was found half a mile from the scene
Of the explosion. Those who were in
jured were employed in another build
ing. They were struck by flying debris,
but none of them fatally injured There
is always some loose powder on the
floor of the packing room, and it is
supposed that something was dropped
upon it that caused it to explode

GOOD SIGN.
Spain Asks
For Delay.
WHAT 1T MEANS.
Believed That She viii
Now Sign the Treaty.

Paris, Nov 23.--At the request of the
Spanish peace commissioners there was
no joint session today, pending instruc-
tions from Madrid.
The postponement of today is regard
ed as a hopeful sign that the treaty will
be signed While the Madrid govern
ment has not yet received the text of
the American ultimatum the Spanish
ministers received quite enough by tel
egraph on Monday night to enable them
to instruct their commissioners to re
tire, were such their intention.
1t was confidently believed by several
Of the American commissioners, who
conVersed with the correspondent of
fore the expiration of the time fixed by
the Americans, namely, Monday next
the Spaniards will acquiesce in the
United States Philippine offer, and
that, ultimately, the treaty will be
signed by all the Spanish commission
ers.
1t is true that the course which Sc
nor Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, will follow is still
uncertain, as he continues to play to
the gallery" But a leading member Of
the American commission believes he
will sign with the other Spaniards. In
any case, his place on the commission
will be speedily filled, probably by Sc
nor Leon Castillo, the Spanish am
bassador here.
Senior Montero Rios sent a communi-
cation to the American commissioners
yesterday evening, asking a number of
questions. The most important Of them
and to get an answer to which the
letter was undoubtedly written, was
tucked away in the middle of the Ter
ter. 1t asked, in effect, if the Ameri-
cans really meant that the ultimatum
must be answered by Monday The
Spaniards were assured that they did,
and the answer has cleared the air.
member of the Spanish commits
sion this morning assured the CORES
pendent Of the Associated Press that
the next meeting OF the commission will
take place on Friday or Saturday and
that Spain's answer then will be the
last she Will make, and that it will be
a definite conclusion of the matter in
hand.
This utterance is looked upon as in
dicating that Spain will sign the trea-
ty Of peace.

Washington, Nov 23.-President Igle-
sias of Costa RIGA arrived here this at
ternoon, and, although travelling in
cOgnito, he was accorded all the honors
fitting to the visit of the president of a
sovereign government and a sister re-
public. Col Carter, of the adjutant
generals office, had met the president
and his party at New York and ac-
companied them to Washington. On

sonal representative of the president,
who escorted the party to the Airing
ton hotel. The party was assigned the
extensive suite of apartments used by
distinguished guests, including pres
idents-elect prior to their Inauguration.
Shortly after the presidents arrival
Secretary Porter called to ask when 1t
would be agreeable for Mr.. Iglesias to
receive the president of the United
States, who desired to pay his respects.
An immediate engagement was made,
and soon thereafter President McKin-
ley, accompanied by Secretary Porter
and Col. Bingham, drove from the
White House to the hotel. They were
met at the doorway by Minister Calvo
and Col. Carter, and escorted to Pres
ident Iglesias' private parlor. The meet
ing of the two presidents was most cor
dial. and entirely devoid OF formalities.
They chatted together about five min
utes, exchanging good wishes. and then
President Mckinley bid President lyle
sias goodbye, after wishing him a most
pleasant visit in this country This Of

the privileges of her freedom as widely
as possible.
