The 'liquid sunshine" which was

ance of the diners digestive organs,
was the novel feature Of dinner
which had many surprises. A portion
of esculin f1uorescent chemical was
dissolved in each glass Of water. In
the glass was a tiny tube containing a
minute portion of radium. The
radium, acting on the esculin, caused
the contents Of the glass to glow in

Then there appeared in the darkness
a skeleton jumping jack, which waved
it's arms and legs and Waggled its

suddenly appeared a second skeleton
which remained motiOnless, but suffi-
GENTLY ghostlike to brighten an I'M

INSURGENTS FIRED THE SHOT
Government Shows Sympathy at the
Obsequies of Murdered Man.

Government Shows Sympathy at the
Obsequies of Murdered Man.
San Domingo, Feb. 6.-The insur-
gents deliberately fired on the launch
of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, killing
J. c.. Johnston, the engineer. His
body was brought ashore and escorted
to it's grave in the Santa Barbara GEM
etery by detachment of marines,
bluejackets and officers from the Yam
kee, headed by the ships band.
United States Minister Powell and
nearly all the diplomatic and consular
representatives went to the funeral.
The provisional government sent de-
tachment of troops to act as an escort.
The flags over the governmental build
ings and the various consulates were
at half-mast. The coffin was covered
with floral wreaths, one Of which had
been sent by the German consulate on
behalf of Emperor William.
The streets were thronged as the flu
neral procession passed and there was
much expression of sorrow.
Great surprise Is expressed by all
foreigners, and especially by Aneri-
kee has not demanded immediate sat
isfaction for this act and for the firing
on an American flag by insurgents.
All houses outside the city walls
have been pillaged. The insurgents
are desperate and are destroying for
eign property wherever they find it.
| Mr.. Powell has received urgent ap-
peals to protect foreign property
against pillaging.
The situation is serious, the prices of
| provisions are exceedingly high and
the poor are suffering for want OF
! food.

phases of the scandal which are be-

phases of the scandal which are be-
lieved to come within the criminal
code.
If this plan is followed out some
men who have figured inconspicuous-
ly in the scandal will be placed in the
position of defendants to a serious
criminal charge. One Of these men is
called .'the head devil by those hay
ing an inside knowledge of the facts.
This man, who once came very close
to getting one of the most prominent
places within the gift Of the nation, is
the particular target of Governor
OdelIs hatred, as the governor alleges
that he concocted the fraud that swal-
lowed $4,000 of the executives
money and nearly 100000 of hard
cash belonging to his friends. The
governor, however, is not SO much bent
upon the recovery of his money as he
is determined to administer a salu-
tary lesson to a certain group Of Wall
street financiers.
The recent prosecution and convic-
ton Of Whitaker Wright in England
was initiated by the London Stock Ex-
change, and the governor declares that
for the protection of it's own reputation
and as matter Of justice to its honest
mem bers, the New York Stock Elk
change should follow that example in
/ both the Shipbuilding and the Ameri-
| can Steel Foundries scandals. How
ever. the criminal action is to be prose
| cuted in any event, whether the ex-
1 change acts or not.

Japanese Minister At st. Petersburg

is openly expressed here that if Japan
considers the Russian reply unsatis-

negotiations. Minister Kurino and
Sir Charles Scott, the British ambas-
sador to Russia, have been in close
conference, evidently determined upon
action to be taken in case Of rup-
ture of the negotiations which, it IL
believed, will be Immediately fol-
lowed by the breaking off of diplo-
matte relations.
In this event, M. Kurino will leave
st. Petersburg at once. The minister
has already anticipated such a contin-
gency and is making arrangements to
vacate the legation building.
It is even reported to-day on APP
parently good authority that M. Ku-

the transcontinental railroad. The
Grand Trunk people in Canada, after
consultation with the English share
holders, appear to have come to the
conclusion that they cannot under
take the construction of the road
without some notifications of the
terms agreed upon last session.
Whether the Canadian parliament will
agree to additional concessions re-
mains to be seen.
The opposition will certainly OPP
pose anything of the kind with all
their strength, and it is possible that
in view Of the approaching appeal to
the country, members Of parliament
on the government side may be re
luctant to arouse public opinion by
meeting what are held in many quar-
tiers to be extravagant demands, There
is no question that the people of Can
ada, however much they desire AIDE
quate transportation facilities be-
tween eastern and western Canada,
do not altogether approve either the
route Of the proposed transcontinen-
tai railroad. or the terms Of the con-
tract between the government and the
Grand Trunk.
| Another influence that will be
| brought to bear against the granting
| Of any better terms to the Grand
| trunk Is the very pOWcIlul OllS VI

gether, it is open to question whether
the Crank Trunk will secure any sub

cure hold upon the electorate, may
