caused. it is said, by plumber who was
working in the cellar. When the firemen
led by Chief Guerin entered the cellar 1t
was found to be charged with gas from a
melted lead connection, and a moment later
explosion occurred, enveloping the men
in flames and blowing out the front of the
store overhead.
A shower of debris was hurled into the
crowd watching the fire and many were
struck with fragments Of glass and spln-
tered wood. About twenty persons were
taken to the hospital. The firemen who
were in the cellar succeeded in making
their escape, all suffering more or less from
burns and cuts. The damage by the fire
and explosion was slight.

Finlnnders Growing Restless.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Nov. 1.-THE
Finlanders are showing restlessness as a
result of the Outstanding measures of
the st. Petersburg government. Self-re-
straint is beginning TO yield to a willing
ness on the part of a portion of the popu-
lation to tolerate acts of violence. Such
acts have hitherto been severely frowned
down. Another serious indication is the
beginning of closer relations between Fin
landers and Russian revolutionists, a con-
summation devoutly wished for by the lat
ter but hardly to the taste of Interior
Minister Won Plehwe. 1t is believed the
altered temper of the people is partly due
to the terrible famine in the north, which
is worse than any since 1861, when 100000
people died of disease and starvation The
crops failed to ripen. The grain. cut green,
makes miserable, unhealthy bread In
places bread is also being baked OF bark

$1,000 persons this year.

has been applied as a test TO a former con-
Wet named Miller. a negro. who confessed
to the murder of Guguie Bourquin and his
colored body-servant. Miller claimed that
he was hired by a white man to kill Bour-
quin. His confession has generally been re-
garded as a pure fabrication and he was
put under hypnotic influence in order to
prove or disprove his strange story. Miller.
in his trance. said he did not fire the shots
that killed Bourquin. but that he heard
them and knew who had fired them. He
was put into buggy with two officers and
made TO go through with what he alleges
to have been his connection with the trag-
edy. Still in a trance he drove into the coun-
try and pointed out the exact spot where
he claims the shooting occurred Miller de-
