Increase in Texas Rivers.

The measurements of the rivers ct
Texas by The photographers Of TIC
United States geological survey have
brought to light the fact that durii.;
1900 there was marked increase III
all the streams Unrestricted This
was found to be particularly evident in
the streams which rise in the extern
sive Edwards plateau. The Edwards
plateau is a fiat tableland in south
central Texas some 1000 square miles
in area, the extension Of the high
plains of western Kansas. From the
sides Of this tableland many rivers
flow in deep and picturesque canyons
and are of great economic value for
irrigation, power and supply Owing
to the increased amount of water in
1900, the entire section through which
these rivers passed raised the best
stock of the last ten years and were
also enabled to make use of continued
irrigation a1d water p5wer; which had
not been the case for a number Of
years The geological survey is con-
Quoting systematic measurements on
about twenty rivers in Texas the re-
suits of which will be of use in their
future development.

The Hague, Nov. 29.-The judgment
of DIR. Asser, of the international board
of arbitration, who was appointed sole
arbitrator of the dispute between Russia
and the United States regarding fisheries

The dispute arose from the seizure of
several American vessels engaged in
seal fishing by Russian cruisers. DIR.
Asser's judgment favors America but
the sums of indemnity claimed are con-
siderably diminished. Professor Asser
said that the Russian warships seized the
American vessels outside of Russian
jurisdiction which was contraryto inter-

him amounr to 800, 1872. The claims
against Russia amounted to about

Terrible Explosion.

Chicago Nov. 29.-With a roar that
shooklbuildings for blocks around, FIVE
huge boilers in the ice plant No. Of
the Swift Packing Company, at Fortieth
and Loomis streets, exploded shortly
after 10 O'Clock this morning, killing
at least twelve persons and probably
twenty three, and injuring two score or
more. The building was completely
wrecked, little remaining beyond heap
of tangled iron and wood half buried in
brick and stone, beneath which were the
bodies of some five persons crushed to
death, Others having had the life Instant
ly knocked out of them by pieces of iron
or stone hurled with terrific force and
still others scalded by the fearful flow of
boiling water.
The main boiler was the first to
explode. 1t shot through the roof with
the velocity of 13 inch shell tearing up
the huge iron and wood girders as
though they were matches. With the
top supports gone, the brick walls of
the two story structure collapsed and
almost simultaneously the other boilers
exploded. Hundreds of employees in
the yards after the first of the panic had
passed, rushed to the scene, but through
fear of further explosions, they RETAINED
from making too close investigation OF
the ruins. Thousands of people living
in the neighborhood who had rushed
from their homes, gathered around the
wrecked building, many eager to aid in
the work of rescue.
AmDulances and patrol wagons were
hurriedly called from all parts of the
city and with the arrival of the fire
apparatus a search of the debris began
After an hours work, eight bodies were
recovered, four of them being identified.
The Others were so horribly crushed and
scalded that they may never be identi-
fed. There were % men in the boiler
house when the explosion occurred and
it is not believed that one escaped. Adj
Joining the boiler house is the storage
house in which 80 men were employed.
This building was partly demolished and
number of the employees injured, but
none fatally.
Two of the injured died soon after be-
ing taken to Mercy Hospital. Officials
of the company stated at | p. m. that
it was their opinion that there were but
four more bodies in the ruins, bringing
the total number of dead up to IA. 1t is

SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. 20, 1902

"ZIoSIsM" seems to be occasioning
some rabbis and other leaders OF thought
among the Jewish race evident concern,
and numbers of them are using all the
arguments at their command in endeavOrs
TO arrest the movement. Rabbi Joseph
Silverman of New York has begun
series of sermons against the idea OF the
Jewish race again taking possession OF
the promised land, and in the course OF
his remarks last Saturday called the
followers of Zionism ga people laboring
under a delusion.' At the close OF his
sermon he was accosted by about twenty
of his Israelitish hearers who were
anxious to controyert much that ne sad,
but the rabbi refused to enter into dis
cussion of the subject and moved out OF
the Temple Emanuel in order to AVOID
them. Whether or not the time IS ripe
for the rejuvenation of Palestine may
be mooted question. Certainly con-
ditions at present are rather averse to
such procedure, but the fact that the
subject is more seriously considered now
by Jews all over the world than ever be-
fore in the history Of their wanderings
may prove to be shadows of coming
events. Most of those of the Dispersion
have no real desire to again become a
nation, from the fact that they have for
nineteen hundred years been a people
without country, scattered in every
cline, and in a worldly point OF view
they have prospered phenomenally.
Like the late Southern Confederacy, the
majority of them would rather be let
alone. But the forecast of their history
is plainly to the effect that the race will
some day be ensconced in their OVID
country, and those among them who
believe in the literal fulfllment OF the
visions of their seers argue logically that
if the prophetical presages concerning
their dispersion were fulfilled to the
letter their restoration will be as literal.
Should this prove to be the case the
manner in which it will be brought about
is a mystery which at present heaven
only can solve. The fact, however,
remains that this ancient people is the
only race which has preserved its nation
ility while scattered over the civilized
world. That it is preserved for some
great purpose is the firm conviction OF
many not of the seed of Abraham.

IT is SAID at the Interior Department
that Col. John S. Mosby will shortly be
asked to explain some of his criticisms
of Senators Willard and Dietrich, of Ne
braska, in a recent interview with a
newspaper correspondent. The colonel
is made to imply that the Nebraska
Senators are endeavoring to place OBJ
stacles in the way of a rigid investiga-
ton Of the efforts of the land barons to
secure large tracts of government lands
by means Of illegal entries and transfers
from "war widows" The officials Of
the department say Colonel Mosby talked
too freely and that his utterances, con-
sidering the position he occupies as an
official of the government, were not in
good taste. 1t is believed Colonel Mosby
is in a position to prove all the charges
he has made, and if there are any him
ORANGES to an investigation of the acts Of
these land barons, it is hoped that the
people may be made to know the indi-
viduals who are placing the obtacles in
the way. At the same time the position
in which the colonel finds himself should
be more than a hint to all public men
who place themselves at the disposal of
the interviewer. The system is COM
paratively modern, and was denounced
by the more sagacious statesmen as soon
as it was inaugurated. Colonel Mosby,
pleasant and approachable as he gener-
ally is, has ever since the close of the
civil war been easy prey for the aggres-
sive interviewer. While a private citi-
zen, his utterances were as permissible
as those of any other American; but a
government official is expected to be ex-
tremely cautious in talking for print
Besides, if should such an one have any
thing in the way of charge to urge
against representative men or those in
official position, the newspaper is not
considered to be the medium in which to
exploit them.
