CRASH pr FOOTBALL GAME
Stand at Glasgow Collapses and Five
Persons are Killed, Many
Being Injured.

Glasgow, April 5.-The struggle of

Park today to witness the last Interna-

tween the teams of England and Scot
one of the spectators terraces, result
ing in the death of five persons and the
injury of 125 others.
When the game began 10000 specta-
tors were on the ground and an i'm
mense crowd was outside. Being UNI
able to obtain admittance, this crowd
broke down some of the barriers, and
swarmed to the field, whereupon the po-
lice charged, and drove the intruders
back upon the terraces and seats, with
the result that the ratings dividing the
crowds broke and the people were
thrown over each other.
In frantic struggle towards the exits
h pressure toward the upper portion
of the westerly terrace was so great that
100 feet of the highest part of the
structure collapsed under the weight
of the crowd driven upon it, precipitat-
ing a mass of people to the ground, 60
feet below. Six persons injured are
not likely to recover
Up to midnight five deaths had been
reported as a result of the accident,
while in the cases of 20 other victims

ed. The fallen portion Of the terraces
is 1000 feet long and 80 feet wide, and
contained ~ tiers of seats. The injur-

that there were not more fatalities.

Rebate on Manila Goods.

Washington, d. c., April S.-Secretary
of War Root, after consultation with
the treasury authorities, has issued in
structions to Acting Civil Governor
Wright of the PHILIPPINE Islands, to give
effect to that part of the Philippine
tariff act which provides for the rebate
of export duties on goods shipped from
the Philippines into the United States.
This matter is realized to be one of
great Importance, and has caused much
agitation in Europe. and especially
London, where the vast Manila rope in
dustry is threatened with a severe blow
by the advantage given the rope max
ers in the United States through the
remission of the export duty which will
be collected in full from European
shippers. Aside from hemp, the reg
ulations apply to all raw materials
coming from the PHILIPPINES on which
export duties are levied.

WALLER IN OUR OWN DEFENSE
Samar Commander Says General
Smith Instructed Him to
Kill and Burn.

Manila. April 9.-Major Waller at to-
days session of the courtmartial by
which he is being tried on the charge
of executing natives of Samar without
trial testified in rebuttal of the evidence
given yesterday by General Smith, who
commanded the American troops in
Samar. The major said that General
Smith instructed him to kill and burn,
said that the more he killed and burn
ed the better pleased he would be, that
it was no time to take prisoners and
that he was to make Samar a bowling
wilderness.
Major Waller asked General Smith
to define the age limit for killing, and
he replied: Everything over ten"
Major Waller repeated this order to
Captain Porter, saying: 1--WE do not
make war in that way on old men, wom-
en- and children"
Captains Porter and Bearss, Lieuten-
ant Halford, all of the Marine corps
testified corroboratively.
The defense requested that a sub
poena be served On the adjutant gen.
cral, demanding the production of the
records of the massacre at Balangiga Of
a detachment of the Ninth infantry. in
order to refute the statement of Gen
eral Smith to the effect that the attack
on the troops was made according to
the laws of war. The request was
granted.

days after the PRONUNCIATION of peace.

pines shall have the same protection

Of this class. Dogs often steal just for

dogs to break into storehouses, steal a

OF sucking eggs, and in rural sections
farmers have experienced much trouble
In protecting the nests of hens against
the pilfering animals. 1t is n of the
most difficult things in the world to
break a dog of the egg-sucking habit.
The fact that the dog Is well-fed has
no tendency to arrest the inclination to
steal. The dog may live in positive
affluence, but when night falls he be-
gins to slip around, and he will steal
II there is any chance to steal. He may
not be hungry. He will take the booty
away and bury 1t.
Il recall the case of a dog which had
been systematically robbing a farmers
smokehouse. One night he stole a
whole ham. The farmer had been miss
ing little things for some time. In a
day or so he happened to see the dog
digging around an old hollow tree not
far from the barn. He thought the
dogs action a little suspicious. and SO
he made an investigation. He was
startled to find the missing ham and a
whole lot OF other things hid away in
the Old hollow tree. Dogs are often
the very worst kind of thieves.
Cows frequently get into the thieving
habit of breaking into. a cornfeld at
some remote place where discovery is
well nigh impossible. Cats learn to

Day in the Senate.

Washington, D. c., April "a vigor-
Gus protest was made in the senate to-
day by Senator Cullom of Illinois
against the passage of the Chinese ex-
clusion bill in it's present form. Com
ing from the chairman of the committee
On foreign relations, the protest made
a deep impression on the senate. Sena-
tor Cullom, while expressing himself
as in favor of the exclusion Of Chinese
laborers, said that many of the provi-
sions of the pending measure were in
c~ontravention of our treaty obligations
with China. He urged that the United
States could not afford to ignore its SOL
emn treaties, although he conceded the
authority of congress to enact the pro-
posed law if it saw fit to do so.
Senator Patterson of Colorado and
Senator Perkins of California support
ed the pending bill, maintaining that in
no way did it contravene existing trea-
ties, as by the convention of 1894 China
had agreed that Chinese laborers should
be excluded from this country. The
bill was drastic in its provisions, they
admitted. but no more so than was
necessary TO eliminate the possibility of
fraud.

LABOR THEME OF TALKS
HANNA AND GoMPERs DISCUSS
THE QUESTION.
Senator Tells of the Work Of the
Civic Federation and DEGREES So
cialism as an Un-American idea
President Gompers Declares That
Redress.

Philadelphia. Pa, April 7.-Senator
Hanna was the principal speaker to-
night at the closing session of the sixth
annual meeting of the American Aca-
deny of Political Social Science. He
divided his subject with Samuel Com
perS, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and the question of the
relation of capital to labor was ably
discussed by the two speakers.
Senator Hanna's topic was THE In
dustrial Cancellation of Arbitration. -
and President Gompers spoke on Its
Possibilities and Limitations" Senator
Hanna said the industrial department
of the National Civic Federation, al
though only two years old, settled seven
strikes in three months. and prevented
the occurrence of two strikes which
would have rendered idle zoe, 900 men.
Owing to the many nationalities repre-
sented among the laboring class. the
speaker said the work of the Civic Fed
Grafton must be principally educational.
Senator Hanna denounced socialism as
inimical to society and industrial devel-
opment. Socialistic ideas, he said, are
"un-American and unnatural to use as
a people,"
President Gompers' remarks referred
chiefly to the question of strikes and
lockouts. Much as q strike of laboring
men is to be deplored, he said, such ac-
ton by the wage-earner is the highest
civilized expression of discomfort
among the workmen. The strike is a
protest against wrong and injustice
when there is no other way of secur-
ing redress.
