JAPANESE STORM OFFICERS.
Continued from Pace ~

remaining officers rushed to the scene
of the fire. AS there was absolutely
! no wind the fire was burning very
slowly and making but very little
progress. The officers fell to work and
had the satisfaction OF having the
flames under control by the time the
plantation men who had turned out
on hearing the alarm, had arrived on
the scene.
An investigation. held later by Fer.
nandez. showed that the fire was
probably OF an incendiary origin. A
Japanese laborer who had been dis.
missed from the gang which had the
contract to cultivate the field in ques.
ton, Is suspected OF having taken his
revenge by setting the field afire. Luck.
lily, very little damage was done owing
to the timely discovery of the fire.

st. Louis, Nov. 10.-Unofiicial re.
turns from IS out OF ia counties in
Missouri give Roosevelt a plurality of
lO,i95 over Parker, and Folk CD for
Governor o plurality OF 3G,S13 over
Walbridge tRD. According to Demo.
cratic authority, the other counties yet
to report will show a gal nfor Folk and
a probable loss for Roosevelt.
There Is nothing in the returns re.
ceived thus far today to indicate any
change in the statement made last
night that Mlssouri's Congressional
delegation will stand eight Democrats
and eight Republicans, a gain Of seven
for the latter. This much is conceded
b" the Democratic leaders.
A Republican majority on joint bal
lot In the General Assembly is conced.
ed by the Democrats, who have lost
control of the Legislative body for the
first time In forty.six years. This will
insure the election OF Republican
successor to United States Senator
Cockrell. 1t Is claimed that the Six
teenth District is in doubt, and may go
Republican.

HATED AND ADMIRED.
UNIQUE POSITION OCCUPIED BY
LOUISE MICHEL.
VI Would Open Banks and Prisons, y
Red Virgin Once Said, land the
World Would Be Quickly
Rejuvenated."
Paris (France3 Special.

esAAS~v
Louise Michel, who is reported to be
dying of consumption in Toulon at the
age Of "A, was asked once by French
statesman what she would do II the
presidency of the French republic were
offered her.
II would accept it for "a hours" the
''Red Virgin" answered. "Then I
would open the banks and the prisons,
and the world would be rejuvenated
Immediately"
The New York World correspondent
says that before the French public
knew her as the Joan of Arc Of the
commune, she was teacher in q
boarding school at Clernont. in the
Haute- Marne. When the directress of
the school retired the curate of a
neighbori1g village, Able Marechal,
who appreciated her highly as teach
er, raised fund of $4,000 to put her
at the head of the school.
In those days Louise Michel was an
ardent Catholic. When Archbishop
Sibour was assassinated she wrote
some verses demanding in behalf of
France, and in the name of the Virgin
Mary, what Paris meant by making
martyrs of her citizens.
Some time later she became free In
structress at Montmartre, in Paris.
During the siege she gathered all the
little ragamuffins she could find under
her wing and taught them. She and
they adored one another. She was no
longer an ardent Catholic. She had
come under the influence of Ferre.
Although no one has ever been
able to- say that she had lover, per-
haps unknown to herself Louise Mi
chel gave to Ferre her deepest af-
lection.
During the commune she, who had
always had horror of blood, seized a
gun and fought heroically. by the side
of the male communists.
Henri Rochefort, who always showed
warm sympathy for her, says: "She
has been all her life one of the most
extraordinary phenomena OF living OUT
side ones self. The body did not ex-
list for her; the soul was all. L be-
lfeve she could fast eight days with
out thinking of it. She suffered only
from hunger for the stomachs of
Others"
Her mother, who feared for her
daughter, when she saw all the perils
that surrounded her, and who did not
share her views, said to her one day:
Go, then; they will tie you to the
end of chain like a strange beast,

Hunter Kicked BY a Moose.

One of the hunters treasures which
Charles Linklater, the trapper from Bal
sam bay, brought with him from the
north to Winnipeg, is mammoth moose
hide entire. The animal was shot by
L.nklater and will be long remembered
by him. It was an enormous brute, and
when it fell at the shot the trapper ran
up to give 1t finishing touch with the
knife. AS he stopped to do so the beast
struck him viciously in the stomach
with its hoof. Linklater fell back un-
conscious, and he was taken to camp by
his pals. He was severely injured In
ternally, and for six months he tossed
in his bed. He is even now only con-
valescent and watchful of his health. "a
dying moose" the trapper said, "can
kick Just about twice as hard as lively
horse.'

IGNITION OF COAL PILES.
How the Danger of Spontaneous Com
bustion May Be Reduced to
Minimum.

The tendency to spontaneous COM
bustion of coal when stored in bulk
in masses of, say, 1000 tons or therea-
bouts-may appear to be somewhat
unusual point to make in favor OF tho
gas engine as large-size power unit
for central station work. 1t was, how
ever. made as such recently by cen
trail station engineer, whose contention
was that the nearly always present
danger Of spontaneous ignition in the
large reserve stock of coal expedlent
for a power station of any considerable
size to carry, to tide over possible tenn
porary interruptions in the supply,
from strikes or other causes. was en-
tirely eliminated by the use OF gas en-
gines which took their gas from central
gas plants.
Curiously, however, the fact appears
here to have been overlooked that with
the large gas engine plant will come.
az an almost inseparable adjunct. the
gas producer, taking the place OF the
steam boiler now accessory to the
steam engine installation, SO that the
large coal pile will remain in evidence,
m before, and the spontaneous ignition
troubles as well, even with certain pre-
cautions against them, in the way OF
selecting and storing the coal. Expert
ence in some cases has dictated the
safe height to which coal of certain
snlnhur percentage may be banked, but
this height will vary with some other
governing conditions easily enough
magined. The gas engine, therefore,
will after all, have to depend for Ia
vorahle consideration upon its several
other well-known good points rather
than upon the one mentioned in the
.non;np lines of this paragraph.

"Ah, WE'LL" retorted Louise, Il will

She and Duchess Dues once met
near the bed of poor unfortunate
girl in Paris garnet. They cement
ed acquaintance at once and shook
bands.
Louise Michel said: II have some
poor, and no money for them"
The duchess agreed to help her with
her poor.
She served her term in prison in the
affair Of the, bakeries, when bread was
taken for the starving, and just es-
capped being put in prison for the Bou-
LANCER affair. Then she left France
suddenly for fear she would be shut up
in madhOuse.
Afterward she lived in London for a
time, engaging in literary and his
torical work. She wrote of herself:
aside from my career as teac4er
and the part took in the struggle for
liberty at the time of the commune,
none of the situations of my life has
depended on my will; events have
guided me- None OF the situations in
my life can be called an aim. What

Clemenceau said of her: "She is a
Christian of the early days, one OF
those who had Christ not on the lips
but in the heart. She is of those who
would have descended smilingly in
the arena, and-lost in an ecstasy
would have awaited the wild beasts

to the grade of commander and was
made captain Of the sloop Strelok.
While commanding that vessel he sent
his paymaster ashore at Hayti when
the latter was detained. Capt. Skrydloff
demanded his release upon penalty of
bombardment and his paymaster was
brought to the ship.
He succeeded to the rank of captain
and was given command of the Dimitri
Benoski, flagship of the Mediterranean
squadron and afterward flagship Of the
Pacific station. Promotion to rear ad.
miral followed, and for two years he
served as inspector of torpedoes.
He was in command of the Mediter-
ranean squadron during the Crete
troubles and his services in that con-
nection commended him to his govern
ment Subsequent to that he command
ed the Pacific feet for three years. He
rose to the grade of vice admiral In 1900,

among the students Of political his
tory the article by Henry Norman. in
the May Century, on 1.-THE Mother Of
farliaments" is attracting wide atten-
ton. Mr.. Norman talks Interestingly
about the British house Of commons.
what he has to say about the speakers
OF that body is particularly interesting.
II Is doubtless, he writes, because the
position of speaker is so onerous that
the rewards attached to It are so great.
ne Is originally q member Of parlia-
ment, like the rest, and is selected by
the leader Of the house, who is not nee
essarlly the prime minister, from
among his own followers for his per-
sonal character and dignity and his
knowledge of parliamentary procedure
he Is usually elected unanimously by
vote OF the house, and from that mo-
ment he ceases to be party man, and
his constituency is divided in it's feel
ings between the honor of returning the
speaker and the disadvantage of being,
for all practical purposes, unrepresented

the first commoner in the realm; his
invitations to dinner are almost equiv

Is worn by members who dine with him
ofhcially; in the house he Is treated
with extreme difference, and he receives
salary of $4,000, and the use of mag
nihcent house, which forms part of the
palace Of Westminster. He retains Of
fee though the politics Of the ministry
may change, through successive admin
lstrations until his health fails or he
deems himself to have earned retire
ment. Then the sovereign bestows a
peerage upon him, and the country a
munifcent pension.
The house of commons has been sin
gularly fortunate in securing for speak
ers men of great dignity, unfailing judg-
ment and unquestioned impartiality,
and never more SO than at present In
the person of Right Hon. William Court
Gully, member for bennington, lib
eral before he tWas raised above all
party ties. 1t is a splendid position,
and, though its intellectual demands are
unceasing and its merely physical de-
mands exhausting, it is splendidly re-
warded.
The position Is as exhausting as it
is distinguished. During large part of
