BOTH LEGS BROKEN.
Hartford Girl Seriously Injured at the
 Branford Point House.

Branford, Aug 22.-The guests of the Branford Point house were for the second time this season thrown into a state of excitement Monday evening, when little Beatrice Mahoney of Hart ford came tumbling from the top floor of the hotel to the bottom. The little one had just been dressed for the even ing and in playful sport attempted to ride astride the bannister railing to the next floor. She lost her hold and fell to the floor two stories below, a dis tance of thirty feet Mir Todd, the son-in-law of Proprietor Sanford saw her fall and was at her side in mo- ment Tenderly he raised the little one and bore her to the room of her parents, who by this time were made aware of the accident As the appar- ently lifeless form of the little one was borne up stairs Mrs Mahoney swooned. A physician was immediate Iy summoned from Branford. He found that one leg sustained a com pound fracture and that her head and face were scratched and bruised. Later pr Russell of New Haven was summoned. and his investigation showed that the little girl sustained a fracture of both legs. Dr Russell re- amined the greater part of the night setting the limbs and otherwise at- tending to the injuries. The Mahoney family, consisting of father. mother, two daughters and a son, and the sons wife, are from Hartford, and had been at the Point house about a week. Little Beatrice will have to re- main at the hotel several weeks be- fore she can be removed to her home.

HE AMERICAN TRUSTS.
Central European States Must
 Combine Against Them.
Professor Suess Says That Unless Conditions Change Russia Will be the Great Peasant Country and Have the Largest Army-The Unit ed States Has the Lead, He Says,

Vienna, Aug 22.-Prof Edward Suess, the eminent publicist aAd paleontologist, has given an interview respecting the industrial and political preponderance of the United States that attracts much attention, especial ly as it confirms the anti-American views of continental manufacturers and economists.
 The professor, surveying interna- tional relations from the standpoint of political philosopher, observes that while the French revolution was occa- stoned by the abuses of the privileged classes, the present situation has been caused by a revolution of material conditions. The declining national sentiment should be replaced by a movement for the. coming defense of the Central European states against the American trusts which are nov ing to conquer the foreign markets more surely than they could by battle ships. The American balance of trade has reached an unparalleled figure. 1t was serious question if the present political units of Central Europe were strong enough to make an effective de fense. taking into account the physical conditions. The present shifting of tAc cSHlcI Ol SIdNIty ol lHc WOfluS forces would create three great units China, Russia and America. When China was equipped with railroads the people would find that she had the most capable merchants and the cheapest labor. Russia would have the largest army and be the greatest peas ant state. European capital would flow to the United States and would be an important increase of her eco- homie prosperity. Of the three the United States had decidedly the lead. It's policy was commercial aggression, beyond a doubt, and states like the American union and Russia had gain ed far more in the way of mobiliatio of their powers from the construction of railroads than such countries as Germany and France.

A BREAK IN CABINET.
Looks as Though It Were About to
 Come in Yokohama.

Yokohama, Aug 8, via San Francis co, Aug 22-Signs are rife of an early break up of the present cabinet. That it is destined to defeat as soon as par lament conyenes has long been a fore gone conclusion, but it is now confi- dently predicted that before it comes to that rock it will perish from internal diSSension. When the diet meets in teresting developments may be ex- pected in the attitude of the house of peers. 1t has ambitions very differ ent from those of upper houses in the old world parliaments, being by no means content to be considered a non entity in legislation nor to maintain merely conservative dignity It pro- poses to be a vital and active factor in Japanese politics. 1t was largely because Marquis Ito ignored this fact that his cabinet went to pieces He thought because he had a strong party behind him in the lower house that he was secure. But the peers asserted their power with telling effect and his only resource was to invoke the man date of the sovereign in order to carr his measures. The fact that the most conservative part of the government is becoming intensely radical and az gressive excited much interest and comment
 The native press is still dwelling upon the failure of the counsel of the powers to bring the Manchurian ques- tion to definite settlement, and strongly insists that all the peace ne gotiations will prove a sham until such settlement is made. Russia is recogniz- ed as the only gaIaer in the whole course of the Chinese trouble and that she has carried all points in the peace arrangements is universally conceded.
 The veto of tie Corean government upon the export of cereals from that country seems destined to make trou- ble with Japan, inasmuch as it not only seriously affects her extensive trade with the peninsula but it is also claimed to be in violation of the trea- ties between the two countries. It is alleged; also that the drouth in Corea is a mere local affair and will not in the feast affect the total outcome of the years crop. This question has long been a source of friction between the two governments
 The money market is showing a de- csded improvement and stocks are on the rise in fashion which seems to mean genuine revival in business. The change is attributed to the fine weather which has put the rice crop out of danger. silk is also looking up and there is a promising inflow of spe- c:e

 fFhe question of the constitution and the flag is not yet settled in Hawaii as applicable to criminal matters. The supreme court has just begun spe- cial term to consider the cases of a number of prisoners released by the circuit court on the ground that they were illegally convicted, because after annexation, they were found guilty and sentenced on verdicts of nine jur- ors. 1t is contended by Attorney Gen. eral Dole that the recent insular de- cisions contained nothing to indicate an opinion by the national supreme court that the first 10 amendments to the constitution follow the flag" but that the said decision simply covers that annexed territories cease to be foreign, as far as tariff considerations are concerned, as soon as annexation is complete.
 The supreme court here heard lengthy arguments on the question yes terday. There are about twenty-five convicted men whose cases depend on the decision of the question, and civil interests are also at stake.
 The issue is as to whether the con- stitution followed the flag not only as to tariffs. but including all its provis- ions. This, it is claimed, the court at Washington has ont yet decided.

NEGROES VERY INDIGNANT.
Declare Lynching At Pierce
 an Act of Madness.

Booker T.. Washington Too Indignant
 to Express an Opinion-Edward D.
 Cooper of Washington Says 1t Is
 Disgrace to American Ciyiliza-
 tion.
 Chicago, Aug 22.-Delegates to the second annual convention of the Ma tional Negro Business league, which is in session in Handel hall, declare the lynching at Pierce City, No, an act of madness and atrocity. The fact that within a few hundred miles of Chica- go the citizens of a town had pro- claimed that no negro will be permit ted hereafter to live or spend a night in the village astonished the dele gates.
 Booker T. Washington president of the league and leader of the .cOnyen- ton, would not talk about the affair. He said it would be difficult to express himself so that he would not be mis- understood.
 sIt is disgrace to American civiliz- ation that such atrocities are commit ed" said Edward K. Cooper of Wash ington. Look at the participants as indiyiduals-the black who committed a crime against a woman, and Ine white men who committed a crime against innocent black-do they not belong in the same sentence of con demnation? Let the law be carried out against offenders as individuals and leave races and classes to enjoy the freedom which belongs to them.'
 "The encroachments of the spirit of mob rule on the western country are certainly regretable," said T. Thomas Fortune of New York. But mob rule will meet its Waterloo. The law, sooner or later, will assert itself, and it will be equally hard for the negro murderer and the white lyncher.'
 Ut is a mistake to make an individ- ual crime the basis for q race hatred" said A. J. Johnson of Mobile, Ala. Ut is ignorance that makes brute of the negro murderer and it is ignorance that leads white man to become part of a murdering mob."
