STEAMER PARIS c.FLoATED
Unexpected Success Meets Efforts of Ger
man Salvage Men.
The Stranded Ship Easily Removed
From Her Critical Position ON
Ss Id
the Cornish Rocks.

LONDON, July 12zThe situation of the
American Line steamer Paris this morn
ing is most favorable. She is fully afioat,
clear of the rocks and was securely an
chored during the night in q small creek
near the spot where she struck Divers
are now patching the holes. Her pumps
are working successfully and it is expected
that she will be towed to Falmouth at high
tide this evening If the weather is favor
able.
FALMOUTH, England, July 12-The
coast guard reports that, as the Paris be-
gan to move and to tug at her anchors
this morning, the crew was Obliged to let
out cables, and in about an hour the liner
got quite clear of the rock and into deep
water.
The Germans E1ated.
Last nights dispatches stated that the
intention of the salvagers was simply to
slew the stern of the liner so as to facili-
tate the operations of the divers, but it
was found that she moved more freely
than was expected. Three salvage boats
alone practically removed her from a criti-
cal position unaided.
The German salvagers who have charge
of the work were elated at their unexpect-
ed success in floating the Paris She had
been weighted with nearly thousand tons
OF granite at the stern, with a view of
hosting her bows free from the rock. The
divers had difficulty in getting at this rock.
Several tugs from Falmouth proceeded to
the scene yesterday, but the Germans were
not anxious for their assistance, offering
the largest tug only $25 for towage, which
was promptly refused. 1t was then decid-
ed that the vessel, being in position Of
comparative safety, should remain where
she was for the present and that the divers
should continue their work of patching the
| hull, so as to minimize the risk of towing
1t is understood that the salvagers are
the same who relocated the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer China, which went ashore
in March of last year on Azalea Point,
near Alden, Arabia.

Those mentioned are dangerously hurt.
Dozens Of people scattered throughout

and not expected to survive. They were
located in the darkness by their cries.

Fixed Charges.

One school of philosophers contend
that the richest person is the one who
has the fewest wants. There is some
point to the contention, and the follow
ing extract from the New York World
is in line with sound reason:
Ii mans income is 81 week and
his "ixed charges''-his regular expen-
ditures for bread, clothing, etc., that
must be met-are $3.50 week, he is a
happy man and free, for he has so cents
week which he may spend as he likes.
If man has an income OF 81 second
and his 'fixed charges" are also 81 Sec
ond he is poor man, for he has moth
ing to spend as he pleases. He is mere
~ machine for contracting and paying
bills.
Now, this matter of " fixed charges
is the real reason why our rich men and
women look SO sad and grow old SO pre-
maturely. What shall it profit a man
to have millions or even billions if it
takes every cent he can rake and scrape
to meet his fixed charges?" The out
side world may envy him, but he knows
what poor slave he is. And were it
not that "fixed charges are kind of
parasite that once fastened on never
dies and never let's go, doubtless he
would gladly give up his wealth in the
hope of getting freedom.

French Colonization Policy.

France is attempting to promote the
colonization of Madagascar with
Frenchmen by sending manageable
girls to the pioneers in the island. Each
girl who consents to go will be given
$50 wedding outfit; $50 spending
money, and ticket to her destination.
This is an old policy of the French
government. A hundred years ago, or
more, it sent ship load of respectable
young women to louisiana, then a
French colony. Their wedding outfits,
instead of being packed in trunks in the
usual way, were put in casks, and
when they arrived at New Orleans and
their baggage of casks was unloaded,
they were called "Casket Girls" by the
people of the city. They soon found
homes among the best people of the
colony and demonstrated their true
worth as home builders in the New
World. In louisiana to day it is con-
sidered an honor to be able to trace
ones lineage back to the "Casket
Girls

End the Campaign.
(From the Des Moines News.

The American people want the war
in the Philippines ended.
If it is the purpose of the administra-
ton to conquer the islands by force of
arms sufficient force should be pro
vided to do it. If it takes 100000 men
to do it send the 100000 men. If it is
the purpose of the administration to
conciliate the insurgents, as recently
stated from Washington, the military
forces should be employed to hold what
we have gained and proceed with the
Cancellation.
Every day we learn of some engage
ment in which precious lives are lost
with substantially no gain. AS soon
as our forces abandon position the in
surgents pour in and the advantage is
lost. Why sacrifice brave men for
naught?
There are many persons in this coun-
try who believe we are waging an I'M
righteous war in the Philippines.
Others would like to see the country
well out of it if they could see way
out with honor. Still others believe
that our destiny calls for the use of
force to the end that American civiliza-
ton should be carried to these islands of
the sea. But now that we are in and
cannot get out except by fighting out,
or by negotiations looking to some
peaceful compromise, one or the other
alternative should be adopted and Wig
orously pushed. The commissioners
believe there is prospect for compro-
mise. If 80 let the fighting be merely
defensive. If, on the other hand, we
must fight let us fight to win.

destruction struck the town at 620 in
the evening while most of the inhabi-
tants We're at table. The entire east
side of the city was wiped clean. More
than 100 dwellings and business houses
were totally destroyed. Several of the
wrecked buildings took fire, adding Diff
ficulty and danger to the work of res
cue. Mayor Noonan says the death list
may reach 100 but that he thought sew
enty-five would cover it. The tornado
approached Kirksville from the south
west and passed only two blocks from
the heart Of the city. Several public
institutions We're just outside the storm
zone. otherwise the loss Of life would

Here and there fires that had soon
started after the tornado passed and
which We're allowed to burn, sent up a

ers. 1t is possible that these same fires
incinerated some of the victims who
could not be reached, and only days of
search can reveal the true state of af-
fairs.

Not Proud of the Slaughter.

LSpringheld, Mass, Republican,
Why is it that the American people
today have no outbursts of joy and
pride in victories of the national arms
in this war in the Philippines? The
reason is clear to us all, partisan or
critics, members of one party or the
other, but fellow citizens all. We are
ashamed of the situation in which the
republic has been placed. 1t is time to
call halt, to get our bearings, to exalt
liberty and to pledge freedom to all
men as their birthright as well as our
own.
