Paris July 5.-The replacement Of General lamont

NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau replied in a vigorous speech
which won vote OF confidence by ls4 to si In the
course Of his speech ne vehemently indicated the
right OF the Minister OF War 10 make such changes
IN the general stan he deemed necessary in the
interest of discipline. Amid applause from the Left
he denounced THE deteStabe COunsels given the
cCunses followed. The Government he de-
clared could not be approached with creating in
stability or the general staff, since IL first refused
to accept General Deannes resignation. More
over, General Jamont's resignation was OF no i'm

The breaking in two OF China with broad
and probably quite enduring line of cleavage be-
tween its northern and southern sections prom
ises to be OF great political advantage to the
outside nations concerned in her affairs, and
ultimately not disadvantageous to China herself.
Complete reconstruction awaits her as the price
Of her national survival, and it is quite possible
that she may break up into half dozen States
nominally independent, but conducted in some
harmony with outside influences instead Of the
opposition to them which has always governed
pigtail policy. The country is too big and popu-
lous to be ruled unit, but properly directed
might make a prosperous confederation OF
States like our own, adopting Western arts and
methods Japan has done. thus taking her
proper place In the line of nations. She now
stands at the turning of the ways with destiny
beside her pointing her direction along ways of
progress new to her, but to be marched over
whether she likes it not.

At the request of a number of those who

Laingsburg on the ninth of June, THE
TIMES takes the space this week to print
the address given that day by Mr.. Seth @.
Pulver, one of the rising young speakers of
the southwest part of the county. In this
connection 1t may be said that the day was
an entire success as well in the delivery of
machines as in the literary part of the pro-
gram. The guests of the Mccormick COM
pany were banqueted> at the Hotel Grand
and music was furnished for the occasion
by the Gunnisonvlle band. After the dinner
was over the party adjourned to the outdoor
air and the speaking took place on the hotel
veranda. Mr.. G. II. Frain acted as toast
master In very pleasing and satisfactory
manner and the address of welcome was
delivered by the chief executive officer of

Three Distressing Fourth of July Acct :
dents

dents.
Three of Owosso's y0nng men met with
accidents which made the fourth seem any
thing but q gala day to their many friends
and to citizens thruont the city. The worst
accident and the one which alone would
have made the day agloomy one for Owes
so citizens, was the one which befell Miles
Tumble, who lost his right hand by the
premature explosion of a huge cannon
cracker which he was holding in his hand.
The accident occurred about midnight
Tuesday night while Miles and several COM
panions were celebrating near the National
Hotel. Miles had lighted one of the largest
sizes of cannon crackers and was holding 1t
in his hand when Ray Retain who saw the
danger, shouted to him to drop It and then
struck 1t with his left hand to knock 1t out
of Miles right hand. Just at that instant
almost, the cracker exploded and tore the
hands of both the boys fearfully. Miles
right hand was so badly blown to pieces
that 1t had to be amputated at the wrist,
while Ray Retains left hand was also badly
injured A feature which makes the latter
injury worse than II would have been
otherwise is that only about two years ago
Retain injured his right hand In printing
press so badly that it will always be some
what crippled Both boys were taken to
the Office of DR.. Lamb where Drs. Lamb,
Hume, Arnold and Tufford amputated the
one hand and dressed the other wounds on
the two boys and of another young man
W no received part of the charge in his
face. The faces of Trumble and Retain
were badly burned and hurt and it is more
than likely that it was only the quick move
of Retain that saved the eyesight and per-
haps even the life of Tumble.
Another bad accident which was reported
about the city in the afternoon as being
even more terrible than the above was that
which befell Lee Christian A charge OF
powder exploded full in his face burning it
very badly and even burning his neck and
clothing. The powder was loose in this
case or the result would have been still
worse. AS II was it was feared for a time
that he had lost his eyesight but DR.. Hume,
who attended him thinks that the result
now promises to be nothing more serious
than very severe burns.
A lad named Ellis TattersalI, of Rush.
