DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Gasoline Stove Explosion Causes the
Death of Mrs. Blond and Her Baby
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, June LIN lit
Eighteenth street Mrs. Mollie Blond
lost her life fighting with flames, in a
frantic endeavor to save the life of her
nine-months-old baby. She died at the
hospital at six o'clock yesterday after
noon, and the child died two hours
later. The mother was caring for the
baby and did not wish to leave the
fretting child for an instant, so she
held the little one in her arms and at
tempted to fill lighted gasoline stove
at the same time. There was loud
explosion and in an instant the
mother and child were enveloped in
flames. The explosion caused the
flames to be carried toward the only
door in the room, and Mrs. Blond was
compelled to rush through solid sheet
of flames She hurried down the stair
way and before reaching the bottom
her cries for help attracted the atten-
ton of Lincoln Turner, negro, and
John Wright, a contractor, who ran
across the street and did everything
that was in their power to eXtinguish
the flames. Wright tore off the
burning garments from the suffering
woman and Turner seized the baby and
wrapped it in some old clothes that
were near by. Mrs. Blond was carried
into saloon and the flames were final
ly extinguished. The woman and her
baby were taken to the hospital, but
medical attention was of no avail.

the Philippine islands "offer rare OPP
portunities for industrious and enter
prising Americans to make for them
selves home" and that they desire to
remain 'for the purpose of taking part
In the developmentof the mining, agri-
cultural and industrial resources of

promised that, in the event of favora-
able action by the government, those
signing it pledged their united sup
port in upholding the laws and pro-
tecting the Interests Of the United

the authorities at Washington, become
members of a national guard or such
other organizations as may be neces-
sary for the best protection of Ameri-
can interests in the Philippines"

that these troops should be so re-en-
listed only for !. period Of time neces-
Sary 10 replace them by 1eguiar troops,
in no case longer than six months.
The question has been presented 10
the war department whether or not II
was able under this provision 10 avail
itself Of the services of the officers of
the volunteer regiments as well as Of
the enlisted men until the troops can
be replaced by regulars. The law Of
ficers OF the department have con
Guided that the word enlist en-
plOyed in the act was used in n broad
sense. ana that. therefore, the presi-
dent has authority TO take over all the
volunteer regiments now at Manila
and other points in the Philippines into
the service Of the Cnited States in or
ganiZatiors with their full compile
mentS of officers and men. 1t had rep
resented that the volunteers there
