toothache or a new corn. Not for long,
however. The next pain bumped him
up and twisted him around and lifted

After dinner Mr.. BoWser sat down to

exclaim:
"By George. but I'm dying for a

Mr. BOwser went to the nearest

and after a look at him the butcher
replied:

Mr.. Bowser glared at him and felt
his gorge rise, but managed to hang

SENATOR JAMES M'NILLAN OF MICHIGAN.
yesterday morning at his summer
home at Manchester -the-Sea, Mass.
Death was the result of heart failure
following congestion, after an illness
Of a very few hours. The news came
as a great shock to his friends here,
as when the senator left Washington
shortly after the adjournment of con-
gress he appeared to be in good health,
and looked forward with much salts
faction to a quiet and restful sum-
mer. For some years Senator McMil-
Ian had made his summer home at
Manchester-by-the-S having erected
a very fine cottage at that place.
The senator leaves a widow, three
sons-W. c., Phillip and Frank, all of
DetrOit-and a daughter. Senator Nc
MILAN was a native of Ontario, having
been born in Hamilton, May -, 1888,
but in early life removed to Michigan
,, and for many years had been prOmi-

terests and political life of that state,
having for number of terms been
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee. He had been member of the
United States senate since March 4,

He also advised the state department

tween the officials of the state and
navy departments, instructions were

Porto Cabello and to land a naval force
in case of attack. The Topeka has al

subject, but after walking about for
few minutes and glazing at the cat in
a way to make the poor feline shiver
Mr.. Bowser suddenly declared;

"No, of course not. But l do, and
I'm going down to the kitchen. Should

He went down to the kitchen and
the icebox, and in the latter he found
some cold beefsteak, cold potatoes,
eggs, celery, radishes, bananas and
cheese. For minute he stood and let
his mind wander back to bygone days,
but he couldn't remember how his
mother made the dish he craved for.
He had a dim recollection that she
mixed things up and used a bowl and
a chopping knife, and that was what
he proceeded to do. If he used beef,
there would be no grease, and II he
threw in the rest of the ingredients be
would have salad out of it anyhow.
AS he chopped away at the beef he
lded the other things one at time,
and in the course of half an hour he
scraped all into a DISH poured on olive

boxes it would sell like hot cakes"
Mr.. Bowser ate heartily. Whenever
his appetite hesitated he added a little
more vinegar and set the wheels going
again Toward the last he found a Ber-
muda onion and part Of a pineapple
and added them to the contents, and
he enthusiastically decided that they

CANNOT TRUST HIS men
POLICE COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE
HAS DIFFICULT TASK.
Devery's influence still So Strong that
the Reformation of New York
VIII be Slow.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Pohce Commis-
sioner Partridge made a statement to-day
in which he said he had been at work since
he assumed office formulating measures for
the reform Of the police of this city, but
that owing to the magnitude of the task
he had been forced to proceed slowly. To
achieve lasting results would require time
and to disclose his plans would prevent
their successful execution. The commits
sioner declared that there was no doubt in
his mind that former Chief Devery still
had a powerful influence over the force
and that many men in the department
clung to Devery with apparently an all
abiding faith" Mr.. Partridge said he dared
not trust the captains; some officers in
whom he had reposed confidence had be-
trayed him. The commissioner asks: In
the whole great police department of this
city is there man whom can absolutely
>trust?"
Later in the day Commissioner Partridge
was summoned to the City Hall by the
mavor After a talk with the latter the
commissioners gave out an official inter-
view which modifed-what purported to be
his former statements.N lie SAID IN part
What L said was thai tht.-DeverS hnu-
ence was still too prominent in Irr->depart-
ment. So it is. What / mean is that -tr.ose
conditions which carry bad influence a-,a
which were brought in there, ! don't say
by whom are still there. l don't say that
Devery is giving orders and debating ap-
pointments and transfers, but do say that
the subtle influence which prevailed under
Devery is still there
Colonel Partridge was asked: DO you
feel that there are many higher officers in
the department you cannot trust?' and he
answered: Il believe that there are men,
there are many higher officials, who would
be absolutely loyal and honest in helping
me to carry out my ideas and plans. There
are some who give me no evidence of
readiness to suppress vice and crime.

BARRICADES IN THE STREETS
OUTBREAK IN BRUSSELS OF > REV
OLUTIONARY CHARACTER.
Militia Joined the Mob and Sang Sedi-
tious songs-17.OOO RevoIvers Pur-
chased by Socialists.

BRUSSELS, April II. a. m.-Serious con-
f1icts between the rioters and the police, in
which over thirty persons were wounded.
including women and children, occurred
son du Peuple. The first encounter took
place in the Rue des Minimes, where the
mob peted the police with cobblestones.
The police then charged with fixed bayo-
nets, three men being severely and several
others slightly wounded.
The mob then proceeded to the Rue st.
where a still more serious conflict occurred.
over one hundred shots were fired from
both sides. Women and children were
wounded here, and they, together with the
men injured were taken into the Maison
du Peuple. Towards midnight this district
of Brussels had the appearance Of a city in
revolt The rioters had torn up the street
car rails and erected a sort of barricade
to fortify their position at the Maison. BY
strenuous efforts the police managed to
clear the Rue Stevens, but the Mason du
Peuple was left in possession of the rioters.
At a Socialist meeting held in front of
the Maison du Peuple last evening two
Socialist deputies advised the wOrkmen
present to be prepared for general strike
next Tuesday. After the meeting the So
cialists paraded the streets, smashing the
windows of churches and cafes firing re-
volvers and singing revolutionary songs.
There were several collisions with the po-
lice and the civic guards. who were forced
TO use their bayonets and the butts of their
rifles on the rioters. Several of the latter
were injured and others were arrested, but
on the whole the riots yesterday were mild
er than those of the day before Every
window in the residence of Senator Count
Demerode has been smashed.
Rioting has also occurred at Client and
Liege, where meetings in favor of a gen.
eral strike have been held
