Blow Up His Residence

VIRGINIA, MINI. nov. IA terrific
explosion. occurred In the rear OF the
residence OF Mayor Fay early to-day,
and the handsome building is mass Of
ruins.
Fortunately no one was injured, but
it would seem that dynamite was
placed at the rear md Of the house
with the intention of killing the Mayor,
as well as wrecking his dwelling.
For some time past the Mayor has
been waging vigorous warfare upon
the violators Of the saloon law, and
many threats have been made against
him. There is no clew to the perpe-
traitor of the crime.

CORSET SAVES
LIFE OF GIRL
Steel in the Garment Stops
Progress Of Ball From Gun
Accidentally Discharged
Special Dispatch to The Call

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. I'm. F. Coch-
rane, editor of the Weekly Independent
of this city, and who Is well known in
Democratic politics throughout the
State, was almost the cause of a
tragedy to-day at Point Reyes station
But for the steel in the corset of a
young girl, a bullet from a rifle in the
hands of the editor would have pierced
her heart.
While returning from a hunting trip
near Inverness, Cochrane. in order to
reach San Rafael by rail drove to Point
Reyes station to catch the south bound
train. He arrived ahead Of time and
sauntered around the station to kill
time.
While conversing with the telegraph
operator he spied a rife in the corner
of the station and picked II up to
examine It, The gun proved to be q
new automatic one of small caliber.
Suddenly the weapon was discharged.
The bullet went through the station
house window and. struck a young girl
who was conversing with a friend out
side, in the body. Luckily the bullet
was small and struck a steel in the
young girls corset, otherwise a fatal
wound might have been inflicted.
The young woman was somewhat
frightened, but when she learned the
course the bullet had taken. smiled
and thought herself lucky girl.

MUKDEN, Nov. 1S.-The Japanese.
on the night of November II, attacked
the village of Vluchinin simultaneously
on three sides, but were driven off with
little loss Saturday passed quietly
There was occasional artillery fire
along the line, especially on the forts.
The forced issue of paper rubles has
not lowered the purchasing power of
Russian money. The japanese are pay
ing for supplies with vouchers, which
the natives receive with suspicion
There have been some disturbances at
Yinkow among the Chinese, who pre-
fer Russian money, and who have sent
a protest to Pekng both on this ac-
count and because of japanese inter-
ference with the working OF the rail-

AS Southern man am ashamed Of such q
stats Of affairs, and resent 1t profoundly. II
can do anything toward accomplishing the po-
liticai Independence Of my own people from
this siavish servitude to handful of Wall
street politicians consider II a duty to do
II the Peoples party had no other mission
than to relax the grasp which the great rail-
way corporations have upon the commercial
throat Of the Southern States. a grasp which
is maintained by the alliance between Demo-
cratic bosses and Wall street financial kings
then 1t would have sufficient mission to war
rant it's continued existence. My own State OF
Georgia is as completely under the thumb OF
Morgan and Belmont. one of whom controls
the Southern Railway combine, the other OF
whom controls the Louisville and Nashville
combine, as the State Of Pennsylvania is under
the control of the Pennsylvania Railroad OF
the State of Wisconsin is under the control OF
those corporations which La Toilette has won
national fame in combating. The situation
is simply appalling and would not be believed
by anybody who was not conversant with the
facts.
1 expect to return home and open a cam
paign on the lines Of Jeffersonian Democracy
to take our State government out OF the con-
troll Of Morgan and Belmont and to put It
into the control of the Georgia people. where
1t belongs In nearly every Southern State
there is similar contest to be wased against
corporation tyranny.

City of Washington Feels Fury OF the
Storm.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-As the
result of a snowstorm which set in
here shortly before IL o'clock this
morning washington tonight for sew
eral hours was completely cut off from
telegraphic and telephone communi-
cation with the outside world. Later
a wire was obtained to the West, but
none south or north. The Western
Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies report great damage to their
wires and their inability to get mes
sages through. Inquiry at the rail-
way stations developed the fact that
trains were departing on schedule
time, but that incoming trains were
three or more hours late. The snow
to-day was the first of the season.

1t should be borne in mind that at the time

no real existence as a factor in national poll

tion of 1900 1t gave to its nominee only oOVO
votes. To that extent had the fusion Oh 4oSo

TOXIC, Nov. ia draft OF the war
tax measure, which the Government
plans to submit to the Diet, which is
to meet on November 2S, shows pro-
posed increase in the import duties.
Divided among a large number Of
articles, the increase on individual ar
ticles is small, except in the case Of
tobacco, glassware, beverages and ker-
osene.
Among the articles on which 1t Is
proposed to increase the duty are OBJ
jects of art, ammunition, compasses,
Crucibles, cutlery, electrical machinery,
agricultural implements, fire extin-
guishers, musical instruments, surgical
and scientific instruments, photo
graphic apparatus, spectacles, tele-
phones, thermometers, confectioneries,
preserves, CRATES, safes, stationery,
inks, straw paper, syrup. felt, spiritu
Gus liquors, carriages, bicycles, pic
lures, alcohol, spirits, chemicals. cot
ton, brass, copper, lead, steel and gold
and silver wares. The duties on a
number of articles exclusively Of Chi
nese production are increased.
The budget to be submitted to the
Diet will be practically the same as
outlined in previous dispatches. except
that further reductions have been made
in ordinary Governmental expendi-
lures.
Baron Some Arasuke. Minister of
Finance, answering the criticism of the
terms of the recent foreign loan, said
that the loan was unsatisfactory to the
Government, but the delay in captur
ing Port Arthur and the departure of
the Russian Baltic fleet had created a
hitch in the negotiations and had COM
PEELED the acceptance of terms less ad-
vantageous than those Of the first for
eign loan.
A dispatch from Toxic, October 81,
said that in the preliminary estimates
Of the budget, covering January, Feb
ruary and March, 1905, and the fiscal
year commencing in April, the war
expenses were estimated at 1886, 900, 900
and ordinary expenses at $60,0OO,000. It
was proposed to provide for the war
expenses by increasing the taxation by
S45, 900, ,0O0 by retrenching from the ad-
vance expenses and the suspension Of
public works to the amount of $35, ,000,-
600 and to raise the balance by loans.
