Treasury connection with financial in

aggregated money and power of four OF
the greatest trusts, demonstrates the ten
dency to coalition of the principal oppres

yet be an expression difficult to analyZe in

NEW OFFICIALS AT WORK.
Havnnn's City Council Holds Its First
Business Session

HAVANA, July 4.-The first meeting of
the newly elected city officers was held
today. Various permanent committees were
named and special committee was chosen
to report on the question of building ten
ement houses for the poor. 1t was pro-
posed that the municipality of Havana ask
all the municipalities OF the island to join
in petitioning the American Government
to pay the Cuban army
Senor Gsner vigorously opposed the pro-
position, saying the time was not ripe
for this He declared that the ex-soidiers
should wait for their money until the
island was independent. 1t was then pro-
posed that each municipality .i.e.i:d pay
off its own soldiers. raising what taxes
it could for the purpose. This proposition
was finally vetoed. as it was argued that
the municipalities were now so deeply in
debt that they had all they could do to
meet their ordinary expenses.
The Fourth of July was observed quietly
here. All the Government offices were
closed. The soldiers at La vedado took part
in field sports. At noon national salute
was fired from the Cabanas Fortress. The
Marianao Yacht Club gave an American
dinner this evening in honor of the day.

mated by the American Government in

lions just Before the Outbreak.
NEW YORK, July 3.-The Rev. C.. C.
Creegan, Secretary Of the American Board
Of Foreign Missions OF the Congregational
Church, has received severa. letters
from missionaries in China. which he sent
to the headquarters of the organization in
Boston. The letters were written during
the month Of May and Just before the pres
ent violent outbreak began. Among these
letters was one from the Rev. Horace T.
Pitkin, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Pitkin is a
Seminary and is the son OF wealthy pa
rents. He wrote from PaOting-fu on May
II in part as follows:
Our guard Of soldiers comes at night
just the same, but in case OF actual trou-
BILE they will be Of very little use. The
morale of their presence is the only justi-
fication for keeping them. There was talk
a week ago of our being asked to mediate
between the Boxers and the Roman Cath
olics. but We headed it of at once. We
go about on our wheels at night and
nothing disturbs US. Miss MorriE's day
schools are badly wrecked. and tie at
tendance is dropping off little. Yer. with
all the rumOrs. l am surprised again and
again that everything is so still here"
Miss Mary S. Morrill, who is referred
to in the letter of Mr.. Pitkin. wrote as
follows from Paoting-fu, also on May IA:
The pupils and their parents have APP
parently felt entirely free from anxiety
concerning the movements of the Boxers.
have rather thought that the girls would
prefer that they should be here. as their
large feet show forth the 'amily connec-
ton. We have not up to the present
time. been called upon to pass through
the fire of persecution that our friends
In Shantung have. The increasing rumors
around US are sufficiently disquieting. In
our schools only one child is left among
the many little ones. Tie children did
not appear to be afraid at first, but the
rumors have been too much for their
parents. We are still glad to be in China,
and are not afraid, for the Lord is our
confidence"
The Rev H. P. Perkins. Of Worcester,
Mass, wrote from Lin-Ching. on May 10:
THE rains of last summer we're light. |
and all through the fall and win er very
little more has fallen. so that ire land |
about here has not yet been ~owl. Nor |
can it be until rain comes. The result is |
a very pinching poverty among :he poorer |
classes. and anxiety all through the gen |
eral population. Bold robberies are be-
ing heard of on all sides This does not |

WRECK CAUSES AN EXPLOSION
Tank Chr of Gasoline Set on Fire
With Fatal Results.

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, July 4.-The
worst wreck in the history Of the Ohio
River Railroad occurred in this city this
morning and as a result six are already
dead and three or four more will die.
The wreck, which occurred in the rail-
road yards. set on fire tank car Of gaso-
line, and in trying to remove the wreckage
from the track the car exploded. instantly
killing General Superintendent J. Fl. Ham,
ilton. Master Mechanic Lalime. Yardmas-

George Chalk. and James Ruth, fireman,
besides iniuring about forty more, some
of them seriously.
The explosion wrecked that part OF the
city in the vicinity of The carshops and
many residences were blown up.
More injured may be found in some Of
the wrecked houses, as there are several
children unaccounted for and child's
foot was found in an adjoining cornfeld
late this afternoon. There are also pieces
of human flesh scattered all over the rail-
road yards and the fields and lots near by.

The informal ceremony of laying the

to- the mind of many of his old friends
incidents in his career which are not gen.

Among them we may mention the fact that
the deceased general commanded brigade

prevented an unhappy chapter from being

THE NOBILITY OF ENGLAND.
Little Work of IA Practical Character
Done by the Peers.
(From scribner's Magazine. }


The death of the Duke OF Argyll has
brought out the falsity OF the assumption
that men of hereditary wealth can be trust
ed to do the intellectual work that does
not directly pay. And this is simply ber
cause the duke really did something in that
way According to Carlyle, the British
peerage was in its origin kind of glori-
fed civil service. in which the titles were
certificates of success IL the most ardu-
QUE competitive examinations. Still, ac-
cording to him. 1.-The merit system" broke
down in its application to the British peer
age in the reign of Charles l. Since then
a lord has had nothing to do ''as such"
except Ito exist beautifully" AS the lords
have all the chances of education that
England affords. and rothing to do but
what they may choose to do. what treas
ures Of learned leisure and research We
ought to owe to them
The career of the Duke of Argyll ought
not to have been an exception in mis- order
at all but simply an Illustration of the
rule. And yet he was the only duke In
Great Britain who within living memory
has amounted to anything. 1t is true that
the Marquis of Salisbury might have been
duke If he had not regarded his mar
quisate as prouder title than new
dukedom could furnish. And doubtless
the Marquis oil SALISBURY aLlOuuts W soIHe-
thing When he was Lord Robert Cecil.
Bagehot said of him that he was the only
member of the British aristocracy who
had shown the capacity Of earning his own
living. This he had had to do for sea-
son. and had done 1t in the character of
political writer: and there is no doubt
that he would have made political sue
cess if he had been cummoner. His ex-
istence is fully justified. So is that of
Lord Rosebery, as a pubic speaker and
as a writer. If not yet fully as a politician.
Here are three out of 500 members Of the
House of Lords Perhaps an ordinarily
well-informed observer might manage TO
pick out half q dozen more lords who
might fairly be called distinguished for
something else than being lords, barring
the new men. who owe their titles 10 their
achievements. But that is a sorry show
ing for so many holders Of what may be
called perpetually endowed fellowships.
