their loved ones AS it became certain
that all who were buried there were
dead these were led away by friends.
AT 10 O'Clock this morning the groanS
from the debris ceased and Chief Swing
ley said he had no doubt that all vino
had been caught were dead
At 8 o'clock the first shift of laborers,
80 in number went home after their
names had been taken and new men
took their places. The work was hard
and tedious; for everything was covered
with several inches of ice.
Three of the bodies have been recov-
cred up to that hour. The dead are:

VIM Juelg. driver for Assistant Chief
juries.
Frank Lingo, assistant driver No. s
truck, bruised and hurt internally.
Chief Swingley, who was knocked
down and stunned by flying debris, soon
recovered and bent all his energies to
rescuing the men in the ruins.
IT was not until a. m. that the first
body was reached. 1t was that of VIM.
Dundon, pipe man of company No. %.
1t was at first thought that he was
dead, but a spark of life was discovered
and the badly crushed and mangled
body was taken to the hospital in an
ambulance. Before reaching there,
however, Dundon passed away.
The next body recovered was that of
Daniel w. Steele. foreman of company
No. II. He was taken out dead at AIS
a. M, and 40 minutes later the remains
of Michael Kehoe, assistant foreman of
company No. 13, were recovered.
For some time Patrick D. Bergin,
pipe man of No. II, was supposed to be
among the missing in the ruins. Later
he turned up safe, having been away
from his company. The fact that yes
terday was Bergin's day off probably
saved his life, for his company was
right in the thick of the fight.
The manner in which the fire orig
mated is not known.
At 1890 o'clock this afternoon
Chief Swingley stated that after a
careful recount he finds that another
man is missing. The seventh man, who
is supposed to be dead in the ruins is
William Westenhoff of engine company
No. II.
A fund for the relief of the relatives
of the victims started by the Post-DiS-
patch, now amount to several hundred
dollars and the Merchants Exchange
has raised Sc, 600.
At 1:05 the fourth body, that of Chas.
Krenning. pipeman No. II was recovered
and taken to the morgue

ABOLISH THE "swEAT-eox. I"

To the observing citizen with little
of the milk Of human kindness in his
make UP it looks as if the time for leg
islative action of a drastic character
Is due for the suppression of the
"sweat-box." 1t is of course prop
vfduals suspected of crimes and
quite as proper for the constabulary
to question them in fair way in re-
gard to their supposed connection with
the deed, but here the matter should
end until there is an arraignment be-
fore the tribunal constituted by statute
for that purpose.
Renewed attention to the barbarous
methods of the American police of
most cities has been called the past
few days by the action of the officers
of Chicago in the Bartholn murder
mystery in keeping man named
Thompson in the "sweat-box" for over
sixty hours, during which time it is
believed he was treated in manner
little short of brutal told that Barthol-
in had been captured and confessed
and that, as he was deeply involved
in this confession, he could gain inn
n1unity for himself by making a clean
breast of everything. All of this was
wholly irregular. Because Thompson
had been a boarder for a long period
In the Bartholin home it was natural
that he should be suspected of guilty
knowledge of the killing of Minnie
Mitchell and Mrs. Bartholin, but
Thompson had rights which even the
police of Chicago should have been
Obliged to respect. In common de-
cency and fairness he should have
been placed in Jail until his case could
be reached by a court in which he
could be given a hearing of a wholly
unbiased character in broad daylight
and disposed of by that body.
1t is high time that these inquisi-
tons by officers anxious to secure the
conviction of those they place in dur
ance should come to an end. Evidence
of gross abuse of their privileges in the
questioning of prisoners being at hand
IN scores of cases, the law-making
bodies should see to it that the "per-
spiration chamber" is wiped off the
map.

to our own model. That Is the position
we take and 1t Is one which is beau
tifully illustrative of the national self
complacency. How long it will take

What does it matter to us that science,
speaking through it's authorized vota-
ries, tells us that it is impossible? We
still go on with our endeavers, and
while losing sight of the great end at
which we are stFaining ourselves and
which can never be reached, we fall
to quarrelins among ourselves about
religious divisions.

ban reciprocity question. T have re-
ceived that denial. The book is being
issued, and 1t is announced that there
is no conflict between the president
and the campaign committee on the
subject.
Tt must be remembered that this
book is the text book of the party, the
political Bible Of the campaign from
Republican standpoint, and presum-
ed to contain an exposition of all the
issues which the Republican mana gers
recognize as being present in the cam
paign. If it is true that the president
Is satisfied with the book, the public
has nisconeeption of the attitude Of
Mr.. Roosevelt with reference to reci-
procfty and to the trusts.
Reciprocity ignored.
sThe question of reciprocity is ig-
nored as not being Of sufficient conse-
quence to be considered or as pre-
senting an issue for which the Repub-
Hcans as an organization is not will
ing to take responsibility. The ac-
ceptance by the president Of this dis
position of the question amounts to an
acqMescenee in the position of the
campaign managers of the Republican
party and an abandonment of the prop
osftfon and estops him from advocating
Cuban reciprocity on the hastings dur
ing his swing around the circle which
begins in September. It is practical
admission that the Republicans have
abandoned this position and that he
must depend upon Democrats for sup
port II anything is to be accomplished.
With reference to the trust question,
the acceptance by the president as
satisfactory the presentation made by
the Republican campaign book is a re-
versal from the position which the
president is publicly supposed to have
taken, and which he evidently did take
from the extracts above quoted from
his message. The spirit and argument
of the Republican campaign book is in
the defense of trusts in general, it be-
ing merely conceded that there is a
possibility of some trust being objec-
tionable. They not only have done
this, but, apparently fearing that too
much Importance might be attached to
the apparent hostility of the president
towards trusts, they have apologized
for his position.

ATTEMPTING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Th e G 10 be has been careful to
avoid any participation whatever in
the discussion which waged recently
over educational conditions in the
Philippines. The discussion has come
to a close and the situation is precisely
where it was when it opened.
The question as to whether one or
other religious denomination predom-
mates among the American teachers
in the Philippines cuts very little fig
ure after all when one reflects that it
Is not the religious or non-religious
aspect of the question which is of prin-
cipal moment but that the entire sys-
tenn itself is assailable. We have i'm
ported great numbers of American ped
agogues of both sexes into the islands
Our aim is the education of our East
ern wards in the English language
and the acceptance by them Of the
standards of thought and intellectual
development which prevail among the
so-called Anglo Saxon branch of the
human family.
To this undertaking we have set
ourselves, and thus far at least, it does
not seem to have dawned upon us that
we are undertaking the impossible.
Spain, in possession of the islands for
over three centuries, has been engaged
in the endeavor to force the Spanish
The intermfngling Of the blood of the
Spanish and Of the native races has
gone on during that period in a meas
ure which no one dreams of as possible
in the future between the American
and the native races. Yet today there
are as many dialects prevailing among
the natives of the Philippines as there
were at the beginning and the Spanish
tongue is practically unknown outside
of Manila, for it's use even there has
been confined to persons Of Spanish
blood.
Can we teach those people to speak.
and read and think in English? 1t is
an chronological impossibility. The pres
ent state of the enlightenment amens
the different Philippine races shows it
APOSfoAotlAtys
laws of nature itself establish it to be
an impossibiity. Even the fringe of
Philippine society, which may be re-
garded as showing some susceptibility
enlightenment and civilization, offers
living proof of the absurdity Of the
undertaking.
Enc witness of our undertaking in
the Pniiipplnes has not yet impressed
itself upon this people. Our president
goes around telling them what great
things we are to accomplish in the
philippines. We are a great nation
and few things are impossible to us.
therefore 1t is possible that we shall
make the Mores and the rest Of them
