Chicago, March 1.-THE Times.
Herald says: The servants of the
household OF Mrs. Emmons Blaine are
now working under union rules. Eight
hours constitute days work. The
idea is said to have been suggested to
Mrs. Blaine by Professor Patrick
Geddes, of Edinburgh. who lectured in
Chicago couple of weeks ago. The
scientist offered the proposition that
there was chance for the betterment
Of the condition of household servants,
and SO we'll did Mrs. Blaine regard the
suggestion that she decided to adopt it
in her home.
The system was inaugurated about 10
days ago. and it is said to have proven
highly successful. Society and club
women are highly interested in Mrs.
Blaine's experiment, and If 1t continues
10 work well, the plan may be quite
generally adopted.

mated, two were fatally burned and
two others were badly injured. Geo.
Martin is the cremated man. Geo.

Borcneck were badly burned, but will

of mystery to the affair. Three hum

fell, compressing the gas below and
causing terrific explosion.
Not a trace of Martins body can be
found. Curvan. when discovered, was
in horrible shape, and can hardly live
until morning. The other men, who
were at the bottom of the furnace, Jared

HOT TALK IN SENATE.
0siiingsr Accused Psnrose OF Untruth-
fuIness.


Washington, March Ill assert
most emphatically that when the sem
ator says told him | should not speak
on this subject, he does not state the
truth"
This was the sensational retort made
in the senate today by Gallinger, to a
statement just made by Penrose. Sem
ators were astonished and the auditors
In the galleries Quivered with excite
ment. There had scarcely been the
slightest intimation that the debate
would take such turn.
For nearly three hours the senate
had under discussion the bill appro-
priating ~, eos, 900 for the benefit of
the people OF Puerto Rico. Fairbanks
had Just concluded some remarks on
the measure, and suggested that the
senate proceed 10 the consideration Of
executive business. Pending a motion
TO that effect, Penrose who has charge
OF the case OF ex-senator Quay, suggest
ed that time be fixed for vote ON the
case. In the course Of his remarks he
intimated that certain senators were
throwing obstacles In the way of vote.
and indicated that Gallinger was o.
OF these senator's.
Gallinger quietly replied that he de.
sired TO be heard on the question, but
had not had an opportunity to speak.
To his statement Penrose retorted that
the New Hampshire senator had assured
him he did not expect to speak on the
Quay case. Instantly Gsllinger was
ON his feet, and with evident feeling
and with great yehemence, replied al
above quoted.
IL don't know whether don't speak
the truth" hotly replied Penrose, "or
whether the senator from New Hamp-
shire failed to tell me the truth"
Gallinger retorted that the whole
proceeding OF Penrose was unmanly
and beneath his notice.

"To the Citizens of Astoria: In
view of the fact that there has been an
authentic case of the plague in China

nese are constantly coming from there
TO other cities ON this coast, and in
view also that the plague now exists in
q greatly increased number of ports of
the Pacific ocean from which vessels
are constantly coming TO the ports of
this coast. and in view also of the fact
that rats take this disease more easily
than man, and are generally the first to
take it in any port, and then give 1t to
man; and in view OF the fact that the
diseased rats cannot be isolated in case
Of an epidemic; therefore l think it
proper that the people should be warned
to kill the rats by trapping or other
wise, without delay, as a matter OF self
and public protection. This consider
of great importance. and hope it will
be done Immediately. while the council
will adopt other measures calculated

Rumors of War Between Russia and
Japan Are Unfounded.
New York, March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Yokohama says: Mar
quis Ito, japanese ex-prime minister in
an interview, said:
1.-The rumors OF war between Russia
and Japan are unfounded newspaper
reports. An agreem ent exists between
Russia and Japan to the effect that
neither power will encroach upon
Corea, and we must believe that Russia
is sincere. The new Russian minister
to Corea has come to Toxic and our re-
lations are most friendly"
Speaking about the South African
war, Marquis Ito said:
''The outcome Of the struggle will be
to increase England's greatness and
arouse new interest in the armies
which her colonies have developed.
England will have trained soldiers all
over the globe.
'The policy of Japan is not colonial
one. The Japanese army and navy are
intended to defend Japan and her in
terests, not for conquest. Japan has
no money for war or aggrandizement.
The new development OF commerce in
the East renders it necessary for each
nation to protect its interests with a
show OF power.
"The present reform revolutionary
movement" concluded Marquis Ito,
''is insignificant because il has no fol-
lowing among the people,"

oZaza" Gets A "Roast"

London, May 16-In the house of com- mons last night Sam'l Smith, liberal mem- Der for Lintshire, called attention to what he characterized as the growing tenden- cy of the stage to demoralizing plays, and moved a resolution in favor of more strict supervision.
 Mir. Smith referred particularly to "Zaza," the Belle of New York and the Gay Lord Quex," declaring that such plays "disgusted English colonial and American visitors"
 T. P. OConnor, nationalist member for the Scotland division of Liverpool said that MT. Smith had never been in thea ter in his life.
 The truth is, exclaimed MT. O'Connor. "that the stage is fairly representative of current feeling, and is the standard of the tastes of the country"
 Sir Matthew Ridley, home secre- tary, said the government had no control over plays, but he had been informed by the lord chamberlain that certain things might with advantage be subjected to more strict supervision.
 The house adjourned before vote was taken on MT. Smiths resolution.

 'T have been told that it is true, but it was the judgment of the convention that the best way to elect both of them was to nominate.
 "ft must be remembered that neither MT. Bryan nor Mir Towne is intimately acc quainted with the present situation as to the populist vote of the country MT. Bry- an could not be elected by disbanding or appearing to disband the organization of the peoples party.
 "To have done would have lost him ten populist votes for every gold demo- cratic vote that he would have won back to him. In short, the convention did tEs thing that was necessary to be done to insure the election of MT. Bryan"
