Topeka. Kan, May 20.-The Masonic
of Topeka, particularly the
knights Templar. are planning to pros
ecute local Christian Scientists, who.
they say, Were responsible for the
death of Mrs. John NJ. Terrence. Mr..
Terrence was, up to the time of his
death, eight months ago. chief clerk in
the Atchison. Topeka II Santa Fe
car service here. He was n leading
Mason. His wife died yesterday from
typhoid fever. She was Il Christian
Scientist and with the local healers re-
sisted the demands of her friends that
! n physician be summoned.
Mrs. Whitlock of Chicago, mother of
Mrs. Terrence. was, 1t is asserted, re-
fused permission to see her daughter,
but finally entered the sick room. Mrs.
+. Il. Whitaker. the Scientist in charge,
said, ~testifying at the coroner's inquest,
that Mrs. florence was killed by the
shock of the surprise at seeing her
mother, and not by the lack of medi-
cine. The %coroner's jury rendered the
following verdict:
Mrs. j. NJ. Terrence came TO her
death by peritonitis general. caused
by p~erforation of the intestines, due TO
typhoid fever. The case was undo
Christian Scientist management and
had no medical care or treatment, and
in opinion, she did not have intelli-
gent care which would give her any
possible chance for recovery"

SPEED OF HIPS.
Extremely Fast Time Can BE Made, but
mt Great Cost.


The naval constructors say that 1t
lis not impossible to build a ship that
will cross the Atlantic in four days,
but they do not consider il practicable
to maintain that rate of speed, because
III will cost more than it will come to.
The quickest time up to date was made
by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse of
the North German Lloyd company,
which made the 2,TS0 knots between
Queenstown and Sandy Hook in five
days seventeen hours and twenty sew
en- minutes. The new Deutschland Of
the Hamburg-American company is to

company has just ordered n still faster
steamer. whose name has not been an
nounced. 1t will be I52 feet long,
have engines of 10000 horsepower
capable of driving her at the rate of
twenty-five knots, SO as to make the
voyage in four days and fifteen hours.
1t will be the largest as well as the
fastest vessel af1oat. The largest

barely escaped from the guard with
their lives.
Three weeks ago the officer com
manding at the Esquimault forts was
advised to look out for the possibility
of a Fenian outrage. The information
came from the military authorities at
San Francisco and with it a descrip-
ton of three w~ell-known Fenians who
We're n few days later recognized in
Vancouver.

but the men escaped.
The guards have again been doubled.

PLAuvE At SAN FRANCISCO.
Chinese Resist Attempts to Inocuiat
Them.


San Francisco. May 19.-The board
of health has adopted n resolution de-
claring tina bubonic plague exists in
San Francisco. The health authorities
say that while there is no living cases
here. there have been six deaths during
the past three months, and they have
decided to take precautions against the
development and spread of the disease,
including incubation of all Chinese.
When 1t became known in Chinatown
that the board of health had deter
mined to i~noculate the residents of the
Chinese section, groups of
gathered on every corner and denounc-
ed the action of the board as outrag-
eous. Some of the more wealthy of the
indignant Chinese hurried their fami-
lies into hacks and other vehicles in the
attempt to send them out of the dis
trict.
Some succeeded in getting as far as
the city limits, where they were stop
ped by the police. Others attempted
to leave the city IN trains. Several
merchants eDdeavored to obtain pas
sage on the steamer America Maru.
| which sailed for the Orient to-day, but
j there was M room for them on the
steamer. The doctors detailed to inoc-
ulate the Chinese are having n very

being placed in their way by the Chi
nese.
The consu general is cooperating
with the board of health as much as
possible, but several demonstrations
among the Chinese have caused him to
keep quiet in the matter. He has urged
his people repeatedly to submit to the
demands of the board. Yesterday a
small mob surrounded the consulate

resulted in n detachment of police being

but makes no pretensions for speed.
Shipbuilding has become an exact SCI
ence, and the constructors can tell you
what speed can be attained by a YES
sci If they know her horsepower, the
diameter of her propellers and her con-
sumption of coal. 1t is simply n prob
lem in mathematics. Any steamer
built on ordinary lines can be driven
at given rate of speed provided she has
the engines and the coal capacity, but
the amount of coal consumed increases
very rapidly with the speed. For ex-
ample. it requires twice as much coal
to drive n steamer at a speed of fifteen
knots as would be consumed Mt a speed
Of ten knots, and fou times as much
10 send h same vessel eighteen knots.
For every knot beyond that speed, to
speak in general terms, the cOnsump-
ton of coal will be doubled. Hence
the naval constructors hold that the
consumption of Goa required to cross
the Atlantic in four days will make
such a voyage impracticable from a
commercial standpoint.

he learned to make cigars, becoming

continued his studies at a night school
where he applied himself so eagerly as
to excite the especial attention Of hie

SAMUEL ooMPERa
Seine characteristics OF the Famous
American Labor Leader.


Seine characteristics of the Famous
American Labor Leader.
Samuel Gompers, the American labor
leader, is as conservative as the English
leader, Burns, is radical Where me
latter says strike, Gompers says arbi-
trate. 81 cannot" he once said, much
as 1 hate oppression, endure the sight
of hunger"
The nation owes bigger debt Of graf
itude to Somuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor, than
most people imagine. Had 1t not been
for the rock-lke firmness with which,
for nearly fortnight, this man stood
against continent wide strike of sym.
pathy with the Pullman men, there
might have been an uprising Of organ
lied labor compared with which the
strikes and riots that really did occur
would have been mere child's play.
Mr.. Gompers' diplomacy was not less
striking than his wisdom. He at no
time said that he would not advise a
strike. He simply, by delaying action,
gave his followers time to think. When
they had thought, they saw the master
fulness of his course. Mr.. Gompers
proved himself to be general worthy
of leading so great an organization az
the Federation.
Samuel Gompers IS an American by
adoption. He is of German descent, as
his name indicates, though Of English
birth. Thirty eight years ago he was
apprenticed to a shoemaker in London.
Then he was lad of 10, with no bright
er prospects, no greater advantages
than those Of ten thousand other APP
prentice boys Of the worlds metropolis.
To-day he Is the executive head of the
most extensive combination Of labor
unions in the world. In this capacity
