ond days session Of the Independent
Order Of Foresters was taken up in
debating the recommendations made
by the supreme chief ranger, in his

establish sick benefit department

power to create foresters at sight,
both Of which were considered radi-
cal departures. Final action was de-
ferred for the present.

81. Petersburg, May s.-The insti-
gators Of the peasant riots in the
voroej and KharkofR governments,
who succeeded in bringing the for
mel serfs and land owners into COLI
sion BY circulating the report that
the car had ordered the lands Of the
mobiles to be divided among the
emancipated serfs, prove to be iden-
teal with the organizers Of the stu
dent movements here. After the stu
dent agitation was stopped the'secret
press bureau turned it, attsntion to
south Russia and the Underground"
presses turned out Thousands Of Boz
gus proclamations with the cars
signature attached to them, direct
ing the peasants to partition the
mobiles lands and distribute their
goods among themselves. The proc
lamations set forth that the peas
ants should disregard the officials,
who would probably interfere, as the
latter always tried to thwart the
cars will. Labor troubles have
broken out at Novorossisk, in the
east coast Of the Black sea.
Nearly all the southern mines and
steel mills have been closed the
whole winter and the laborers re-
turned to their native villages, where
they are now swelling the ranks ct
the famine-stricken. 81
The most serious feature Of the
present situation is tho growing dis
inclination Of tho troops to act
against the people. Punishmsnt had
already been dealt out to 900 men OF
the Sunny regiment for refusing re-
Gently to fire on the rioters at Mos
cow.

II taken to the street. After a few
minutes the men were enabled to
check the awful crush on the stair
way, and then began the work Of
rescuing those who had been tram
pied and crushed between the second
and third floors. The alarm for am
balances had been turned in and as
quick as the dead and injured could
be carried from the building they
were hurried to hospitals. The
number Of ambulances was entirely
inadequate and patrol wagons were
brought into use to carry the victims
away for treatment.
While this was going on the scene
about the structure was heartrend.
ing. The building Is located in a
section largely inhabited by He
brews, many Of whom were caught
in the terrible crush. Parents and
relatives Of the unfortunate girls
were screaming and rushing about
the streets like mad and 1t was al
most impossible for the police off,
cials to restrain the mothers and
relatives Of supposed victims from
entering the building.
The work Of rescuing the girls
from the windows was necessarily
tedious. They were SO excited that
they did not seem to understand the
pleadings Of the fremen. At nearly
every window Of the huge structure
were girls screaming and crying for
help. Many were so excited that IT
was with the greatest difficulty that
they were prevented from jumping
from the building, Notwithstanding
that there was not sign Of fire and
their rescue seemed only the work Of
o few moments.
The panic was over in less than
half an hour, but in this brief space
thousands Of pertons had been at
tracted to the scene by the wild
screams Of the relatives Of the VIC
tins and the shrieks Of the girls at
the windows.

INARTHUR'S VIEWS.
The General Still Tsstifyine b
fore the Senate COMMITTEES.
iIERIClIS MUST HOLD The ISLANDS


Washington, May Mai. Cen
Macarthur yesterday gave further
testimony before the senate commit
tee on Philippines. He explained his
statement made Tuesday that "ab-
solute chaos would result should in.
dependence be given the Nhpinoa
and the United States forces be with
drawn" by Saying that the people Of
the Philippines, being less prepared
for self-government and administra-
ton than any Of the Latin-American
republics at the time Of their eman-
cipation from Spain, their own un-
aided efforts to accomplish self-re-
generation would in al probability
prove abortive.
Gen. Macarthur referred to biz
many efforts to bring about cessa-
ton Of hssNlities and stop the blood
shed. These efforts, he said, were
directed 70 Aguinaldo through some
of his friends, because in his opin-
ion Aguinaldo was the incarnation
Of the revolution"
Gen. Macarthur said the disparity
between the killed and wounded Of
the Filipino and American forces was
duo to the fact that the Filpinos
knew nothing Of the double sight on
their rifles.
Senator Patterson wanted to know
If, as q matter Of fact, the contacts
between our troops and the Filipinos
were mot simply assaults and pur-
suits.
Gen. Macarthur denied that this
was so, saying that since the affair
has reached the guerrilla stage the
United States troops have had the
greatest difficulty in finding tho Fill
pinos, 50 that whenever the Filipinoa
attacked 1t was In the nature Of q
surprise, the Filipino posting himself
in thick mountain gorges and firing
first. Under these circumstance our
officers and men would 30 in after
them and then the natural su-
pfemacy Of the American showed IT.
sell and every man that could be
reached was killed.
Responding to q question by Sen
ator Carmack, Gen. Macarthur said
that when he assumed responsibility
for the methods adopted in capturing
Aguinaldo he did SO without con-
ferring with the authorities at Wash
ington. The plan was Gen. Fun
ston's, he said, and he (MacArthur)
assumed the responsibility Of ap-
proving it. At no time, said Gen.
Macarthur, replying to an inquiry
from Senator Patterson, did he VIC
late the rules Of civilized warfare,
His position on this subject, he said,
was emphatic. Gen. Macarthur was
then excused until to-day and the
committee went into executive SEES
sion.
BY a strict party vote the commit
tee refused to subpoena Maj. Cornell
ius Gardener, Aguinaldo, Sixto Lopez
and Mabini. The question of sending
a subcommittee to the Philippines
to continue the investigation was
passed over.

An ARCHBISHOP DIES
Most Rev. Michael Augustine Cor.
rigan Passes Away.
Bis DEATH RATHER 4 SURPRISE.
Physicians Attending His Grace Thought
He Was Much 1mproved--A Short Ac-
count Of tho Life Of the Emineut
Catholic Prelata.

New York, May 6.-Archbishop
Corrigan died at 1905 o'clock last
night. The death Of the archbishop
came as a great surprise and shock
to those in the archiepiscopal resi-
dence. It was more so to the general
public, for the last bulletin Of the
day was that so certain were the
physicians Of an improvement in the
condition Of the patient that there
would be no more bulletins at night.
Up to 1911 there was no evidence Of
collapse; in fact, the archbishop at
10:4O talked with his secretary.
About II o'clock, however, the
trained nurses who had charge at
the bedside noticed . change. Act
ing on instructions the physicians
we're telephoncd for. At the same
time the archbishop's two brothers
were summoned to the room, as well
al number Of priests. 1t was quick
ly seen by the physicians that the
end was at hand and in less than
quarter Of an hour his grace was
dead. His last moments were peace
full and without evidence Of suffering.
Most Rev. Michael Augustine Cor
rigan, D. D., was born at Newark, N.
j., in 1910. His parents came from
Leinster, Ireland. After having
graduated from the schools Of his
native place he was sent to St.
Mary's college in Emmctsburg, Md.
After leaving St. Mary's In 1859, hav-
Ing made q brilliant record as . stu
dent, he went to Europe to take holy
orders. In Rome he was one Of the
10 students who registered in the
American college there when It was
opened. He devoted two years to the
preliminary studies Of the college and
then began the study Of theology.
Although ordained priest by
Cardinal Patrizi in the Lateran
basilica In 1868, he remained in the
American college another year and
won the degree Of doctor Of divinity.
DR.. Corrigan then sailed for home
and reported on his arrival to Bishop
Bayley in Newark, who at once a.
signed him to the professorship at
dogmatic theology and sacred Scrip
ture, as well as to tho dictatorship
Of Seton Hall college. Later Rev.
Father Corrigan became vice presi-
dent Of the college and when only
% years Of age became president OF
that Institution.
When Bishop Bayley visited Rome
in 1870 DR.. Corrigan became the adj
ministrator and vicar general OF
Newark. He was consecrated bishop
by Cardinal McCloskey on May 4,
1873, and remained in charge OF the
diocese Of Newark for seven years.
Owing to his successful adminlstra-
ton Of his diocese DR.. Corrigan was
selected to be coadjutor Of Cardinal
McCloskey. On October !, 1880, he
was raised to the archiepiscpal see
of Petra and made coadiutor with
the right of succession. When Cardi-
nal McCloskey died Archbishop Cor
rigan succeeded to the see of New
York.
