Speaker Before English Trades Union
Congress Makes Attack.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS

Teiscestcr, England, Sept. s.-At todays
session OF the Trades Union congress
President Hornbridge declared Colonial
Secretary Chambcrain's suggested charges
in the British fiscal policy were likely to
be most detrimental to the best interests Of
the nation.
"Dabbing with the principals OF free
trade" he asserted, could do no good to
the country at present. The land laws
caused two-thirds OF the national misery"
lie advocated government old age pen
sions.
The following resolution was carried
with only two dissenting votes.
That this congress strongly condemns
the suggested change by Mr.. Chamberlain
in our present fiscal policy as most mis-
chevous and dangerous to the best interest
Of the people of the country and hereby
pledges itself and urges all other labor
bodies to make every effort to prevent
such change being brought about"
The announcement OF the vote was
greeted with loud cheers. The resolution
will be communicated to the colonial Sec
retary.

Rome, Sept S.-Ihc three sisters OF
Pope Plus y, who lived with him IN
Venice and who arrived here yesterday,
have not found in Rome quite what they
expected.
Not that they had any formulated de

not fail to be certain Of rcsuming their
intimate relations with the pontii, while
TO their unaceustomcd eyes all is for
mality.
They shrunk from the curious glanccs
cast at them this morning when they went
all over Rome.
The sisters, however. could see no
beauty in the ruins, having scarcely heard
OF them.
Like the Street Cars.
What they liked best were the electric
street cars and the new wide streets, so
different from the narrow lanes OF Venice,

Washington, Sept. 8.-The navy de-

cablearam from Admiral Cotton, dated
Beirut, September z:
e"VioIence and bloodshed between
Mohammedans and native Christians oc-
cured at Beirut Sunday. Six Greek
Christians, two Mohammedans and one
Turkish soldier were killed; three Greek
Christians, three Mohammedans and
three Turkish soldiers were wounded Sc

Berlin, Sept. ga dispatch from
Constantinople says thirty Christians,
among them being several Europeans,
were killed during the rotina at Beirut.
The foreign office here has received no
news tending to confirm the report.
Constantinople, Sept. 8.-A consular re-
port from Beirut received at one of the
embassies here states that a fierce brawl
occurred there yesterday between parties
OF Mussulmans and Christians.
1t was due to a shot fired by Mussul-
man upon Christian employed at the
American college. The Christian was
wounded.
The Sight broke out while the vail was
on board the United States steamer Brook
lyn, returning from Admiral Cottons visit
No further details have been received.
In diplomatic circles here the affair is
regarded as being serious and renewal OF
the disturbances is feared.
Official Version Comes.
An official version of the Beirut affair
tclegraphed to the Ottoman ambassadors
abroad for communication to the powers
says that the Christians were the assail-
ants, they having fred upon four Mussul-
mans.
"A fight cnsued, during which Mussul-
mans and Christians came TO the assistance
of their respective compatrots.
This, says the report compelled the
troops to intervene and they succeeded in
restoring order
Three soldiers were wounded and one
was killed, while one Christian was killed
and one wounded.
These figures are evidently incorrect, as
the rioters must have lost more heavily
than the military.
Calls on the Vail.
The British consul at Beirut Immediately
after the riot called upon the vail and
threatened to ask Rear Admiral Cotton to
land marines from the American squadron
in the event Of the renewal Of disturb

In official circles here the disturbances
are attributed to the arrival of the Ameri-

"A Ruined Life''

"a Ruined Life' the sensational
scenic melO-drama is booked to appear
at the Opera House, Tuesday, March
"a. From the first production Of this
sterling play it has met only with
success. The plot is original and
startling and is far away from the
conventional and concerns the kidnap-
ping of wealthy mans infant
daughter.
The play opens eighteen years later;
womanhood and is the queen of band
of gypsies. The father who has
searched vainly for his child appears
upon the scene but. unfortunately is
stabbed tO the heart by a villianous
partner a few moments before his
child is restored to him. The daugh-
ter is, however, aware of her identity
and the following three acts are
devoted to her running the murder to
earth.
The startling announcement of the
last act in which her fathers slayer
is compelled through hypnotic
influence to re-enact the crime is one
of the most startling situations ever
produced.
The cast is exceptionally good, being
headed by Miss Elsie Crescy, who

MAKE A LEAP FOR LIFE
AWFUL EXPERIENCE WITH DYNAMITE
Tom Young and Joe ST. Louis Almost Blown
to Atoms at Port Edwards-YouHg
Died Tuesday.

Presence of mind and ouickness OF
action were the agents that saved two
men from being blown to atoms by
dynamite at Port Edwards about 1O
O'Clock Saturday forenoon. The actors
in the pcrilouS drama were Tom
Young, OF this city, and Joseph St.
Louis, of Port Edwards. As a result
the former is now suffering from
internal injuries which NAV prove
fatal, while the latter escaped with
only Il few bruises.
Saturday morning it was found that
a large amount of ice had accumulated
in the pond Of the Port Edwards
paper MILL Tom Young and Joe St..
Louis were sent to remove the Obstruc-
tiOn by means of dynamite. In a
nearby shack on the island they began
the work of thawing out the frozen
dynamite. 1t seems that when they
had prepared eighteen sticks of the
dynamite, primed them with caps and
attached the fuse and were ready to
take the explosives to the ice JAM
light his pipe. Immediately an
explosion was heard and flame arose
which almost blinded the men.
Realizing their great danger both of
them rushed to the side of the Shanty.
where there was a small opening,
ripped off few boards and leaped to
the ground beneath. Before they
were able to scramble to places of
reasonable safety, the flames had
reached the dynamite caps and build
ing was completely destroyed. Tom
Young, who was nearest the place of
disaster, received injuries which, it
was believed, he could not survive.
He was taken to the home of Mr.
La Bunker where he is now under
medical care.
The general opinion of the men is
that the explosion was caused by the
igniting of gas generated from the
thawing dynamite, and that this in
turn lighted the fuse which was
attached to the primed dynamite.
Besides the nine pounds of dynamite
which exploded there were $50 pounds
stored away in the shack. II this
quantity had also exploded the men
would undoubtedly have been killed
LATER-Since the above was writ
ten Mr.. Young died from the injuries
received Tuesday afternoon. March II.
He had reached the age Of A years
and leaves a wife who is not in very
good health. The funeral will be held
Friday morning at 10 o'clock from the
house.
