POWDER HOUSE EXPLOSION
BUILDING WRECKED AND TWO

Ishpeming, Dec. 4.-The packing

an explosion this evening, killing two
of the workmen, John Nelson and
Linus Shively. Three other workmen
in an adjoining building had a narrow
escape, but only one was injured.
The building was completely wreck

only part of the men found. The loss
to the company will be several thou
sand dollars. The packing house is
where the caps used in setting off
giant powder are filled. 1t is estimat-

house.
Nearly all the windows in Ishpeming

MAY ASK REBATE
FOR DUTY PAID ON GOODS At
MANILA.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Secretary
Root is taking counsel with some of
the republican party leaders in the
preparation Of a programme to meet
the decision of the supreme court rem
dered Monday in the insular cases.
1t is said that the present purpose is
to ask congress to legislate imme-
dlately so as to define with precision
the status of the islands from a finan-
cial point of view. 1t is considered
that neither the fourteen diamond
rings case or the Dooley case, affirm
ed or denied the right of the United
States to collect revenues. The inan-
cial experts of the department who
have looked into the trade figures for
the past three years find that the sum
OF $1,000, 900 represents about the total
duties collected from Spaniards on
goods arriving at Manila which might
have to be refunded in the event that
it should ultimately be held that the
collecting of duties on American goods
was illegal. The Spaniards would Sc
cure a like liquidation under the
terms OF the Paris treaty, guarantee
ing them equal rights with Americans
in the Philippines.

ON The SIDEWALK
STABBED TO DEATH IN CHILDISH
QUARREL.

Newport, KY, Dec. 4-Joseph Creel-
man, a schoolboy, 8 years old, was
stabbed to death by a schoolmate aged
IL, on the street here at oon today.
The victim had had a boyish quarrel
in the school room with Eddie Armins,
and when on their way home the quar-
rel was renewed. A third boy, taking
the part of Creelman, threw a piece of
brick which struck Armins on the
hand. At this moment Creelman ran
up to him and was stabbed. He fell
to the sidewalk and in Is minutes
was dead. The Armins boy walked
rapidly away, carrying the knife in his
hand. He went to the fire house,
where his uncle is captain, and threw
the knife in an clubhouse, but said
nothing about the murder until the
news became known of the lads
death. His uncle then promptly sur
rendered him to the police. Young
Armins told his childish story to the
police.
He said: "Creelman missed his les.
| son and was sent out of the class. l
said / did not care, and that made
him mad. The teacher made Inn sit
at the blackboard, and I laughed at
him. He shook his fist at me, and
when school was out we quarreled.
l started for the engine house, and
Plummer threw a brick at me, and
Creelman ran up and grabbed me by
the arms. l did not think the brick
was thrown at me until it hit me on
the hand Then l struck the knife out
easy and heard his coat rip"
Both boys belong to excellent fam
lilies.

ng tonight Of the presidents message

ing tonight Of the presidents message
said:
"The presidents message recon-
mends to congress a national policy
for the storage of waters that now go
to waste which If used on the arid
land would practically double the
wealth, resources and population of
the United States within a generation.
'"The president has outlined this
whole policy in such a logical way that
it shows that he thoroughly under
stands the problem and what is neces-
sary to be done to solve it. He knows
that water is the life of the arid re-
gion and lat the forests must be pre-
served as a primary source OF water
supply. He shows, however, that for
ests alone are not enough. They must
be supplemented by great storage
reservoirs to be built and maintained
by the national government as in
ternal improvements. The president
shows further that where arid public
lands are to be reclaimed the national
government must also build great
main line canals to bring water with
in the reach of settlers and reserve
the lands for home builders. His
familiarity with western conditions en-
ables him to speak with authority
when he a y that the problem must
be solved by the national government
and not by states. This message will
electrify the west because it opens
up such gigantic possibilities for in
creasing the population and prosper
ity of that region. 1t will have the
support of every. thinking man, and
the business men of the country who
have loyalty supported the national
irrigation movement will be more
than gratified that it has received this
endorsement. The president has an
swered evedy objection to the policy
and has demonstrated that it's in
auguration would benefit every sec
ton Of the country and every class of
the American people. He shows that
it is n of the greatest questions be-
fore the country today"

Seattle, Dec. 4.-The steamer Clara
Brown, one of the largest stern wheel
ers on the sound, was driven ashore
at Alki Point last night during the
gale which ragged all night. In trying
to round the point on her usual trip
from Seattle to Tacoma, the steamer
became completely manageable,
and several times was in imminent
danger of laundering. She was finally
driven upon the beach half a mile
south of the point. The passengers
jumped overheard and made their
way ashore through the surf. The
gale has continued all day and the
boat has been badly smashed, but will
probably be saved unless the gale be-
comes much worse.
