KITCHENER BADLY HURT
IN AN INDIAN TUNNEL
Hero of Khartoum Thrown From HoISe
and Both Bones of One
Leg Broken.

SINLA, Nov. 16.-General Lord Kitcn-
ener, commander-in-chief Of the British
forces in India, received severe injuries
yesterday while horseback riding. dc
started out alone, and when six miles
from here his horse became frightened
while passing through a tunnel.
The animal finally succeeded in throw
ing General Kitchener against the side
Of the tunnel breaking both bones in one
leg just above the axle.
After being thrown Lord Kitchener lay
in the tunnel in great agony until COO
lies arrived and carried him out. The
reason for the delay was that the COO
lies did not know who the injured man
was and made no haste TO go to his aid.
The horse took fright at a coolie who
was nearly invisible in the darkness OF
the tunnel.
Physicians Immediately set the broken
bones and the patient is doing well. He
passed a good night and no signs of
complications are apparent. Lord Kitch-
ener's months tour of inspection OF the
Simla district, however, VIII have to be
Cancelled.

CHICAGO ON THE EVE
OF A MONSTER STRIKE
Federation to Assist Street
Car Employees.
MANAGER HANGED IN EFFIGY
Four Thousand Citizens Meet and De-
nounce Action Of Company in
Using Police.

CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-Chicago is on the
eve of what is feared may be the great
est strike In it's history.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement yesterday by an officer of
the Chicago Employers Association that
the Chicago City Railway Company is
in a determined fight to break the street
car strike. came a declaration from
labor leader that organized labor of
the entire country Is back Of the street
railway men and will fight their cause
to the finish.
The company's answer, if any is made
to the propOsiticus Of the State board
OF arbitration for Cancellation or arbi-
tration of the points in dispute. seems
almost certain TO be refusal.
Citizens Make Protest.
Four thousand citizens held a mass
meeting at TattersalTs last night and
fercely denounced the use of the po-
lice as operators of the City Railway
cars. Resolutions were adopted, and a
committee of forty was named to wait
on the mayor and council and demand
that no new franchises be granted TO
the traction companies.
In Archer Avenue last evening LOCO
persons cheered the hanging In effigy
Of General Manager McCuIloch. of the
City Railway Company. When the news
spread that the railway man was to be
hanged in effigy a great throng gath
cred A rope was attached to the figure
and thrown over n trolley wire. and
the stuffed image was swung into the
air.
Federation Calls for Aid.
The Chicago Federation of Labor. at
it's meeting yesterday, called upon all
AFFILIATED unions to give financial aid
TO the strikers
1t also demanded that the city coun-
ell arrange to advertise for PROPOSE
lions to operate the lines OF the Chi
cagO City Railway Company. where
franchises have expired.

SENATE is WAITING
FOR RECIPROCITY BILL
Until 1t Comes Routine
Business Is in Order.
LONG SPEECHES TO BE MADE
Senator Teller Says He May Talk Ten
HOurs-Sentimen Favorable to Ad-
journment Before Thanksgiving.

The program of the present week in
the Senate contempates devoting as
much time as necessary each day to the
consideration and confirmation of army
and navy promotions. and the introduce
lions Of bills and memorials. This will re-
suit in the holding of brief daily meet
ing until Friday, when the Cuban reci-
procity bill wiz be received from the
House.
The first consideration of the bill will
be but perfunctory, as it will be re-
ferred at once 10 the Committee on
Foreign Relations 1t is probable the
Senate will then adjourn over to Mon
day. when the bill will be favorably re-
ported without amendment, and debate
will be begun.
Speeches in Opposition.
No announcement has yet been made
from the minority side as to the number
Of Senator'S who intend to oppose the
bill. Senator Teller is openly antago-
nistic to it and will make a strong
speech in opposition. Mr. Bailey is ex-
pected TO record his opposition almost
as aggressively. though to what length
is not known. The Colorado Senator says
he has not decided whether his own
speech viii take one hour or ten hours.
Probably not more than four or five
other Senators will go to any length in
opposing the bin. ii is thought. An early
date for taking the vote is hoped for,
as two-thirds OF the Senate voted to
ratify the treaty last spring and viii do
so again as soon as the flow Of oratOry
can be stopped.
Early Adjournment Suggested.
The suggestion of the Senate taking
an adjournment November 25. the day
before Thanksgiving, meets with much
approval from a ma jOrity of the upper
house. It remains with the Senators in
opposition to the bill to say whether
they can conclude their remarks in
three days sessions.

After China and India the order Of
the more populous countries of the
world is: European Russia, 100000
600; United States, 76,000,OO0; Ger
many, 56,00O,O00; Austria, 47,0OO,OOO;
Japan, 10000 600; United Kingdom,
41,O00,0O0. In all these countries eX-
cept the United States the increase
from decade to decade is for the most
part from the native stock. OF the
United States it Is said that it's popu-
latiOn would decline If it were not for
immigration, and this fact or assump-
style by j. Weston, a writer for the
Nineteenth Century, whose article is
entitled '"The Weak Spot in the Amer
lean Republic" Mr.. Weston appeals
to statistics to show that in Massachu-
sets there are 1,T43,710 persons of
foreign birth and foreign %parentage in
a total population of 2,S06,3 SAC. 1.-The
population Of Illinois," he adds, lis
4,S21,55O. OF these 966, 747 are foreign
born and 1,49S,473 of foreign parent
age, SO that the proportion of genuine
Americans in this typical Western
State Is no greater than it is in Penn
%sylvania. In California it is less. The
native element is stronger in the
South, but it Is not due to the produc-
tiveness of the American, but to the
productiveness of the Negro" Taking
the country as a whole, the foreign
birth date has gained on the American
birth rate until it Is four to one. 1t is
the rule for families to decline as they
are more and more removed from their
foreign origin. Nowhere, not even
in France, is the problem so serious
as 1t Is In the United States. History
may be searched in vain to find a par-
allel for a country dependent on for
eigners for its vital strength" Mr..
Weston does not go into the causes Of
the decline, but he quotes %approvingly
from a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly as follows: "We have not so
many people as we should have had If
immigration had never come to us and
the native stock had continued their
old rate of Increase" 1t is a question,
however, If this old rate would have
been continued, and it Is doubtful If
there is much force in Mr.. Weston's
warning that "only homogeneous peo-
pies ever become great" Homogen-
eous Mt most is only a relative term.
and the French, whom he does not
rank among the great, are perhaps
nearer homogeneous than the British.
