New Chemical Compound.

A Russian chemist has discovered
new alumino-thermic compound and
named 1t thermite. When fired by
the application of bit of magnesium
tape this compound burns fiercely,
generating a heat equivalent to that
of the electric arc. The fused COM
bination is hot enough to burn hole
with clean edges through an iron
plate of any thickness, according to
the amount of thermite burned, with
out heating the plate, except at the
point of perforation.

A contract for building steamer
of 5000 tons was recently made by a
great English shipbuilder at the rate
of $26.75 per ton. This is probably

FAIRBANKS ON STUMP
Twin Kansas Cities Hear From
 Candidate.
PANAMA CANAL POLICY DEFENDED
Vice Presidential Nominee Hera1ded as Head of the Nation In 1908. Would Have Been President
 Had Mckinley Lived.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 3.-Sena- tor Charles w. Fairbanks at, Conven- tion hall here formally opened the Re publican campaign in Missouri last night
 Senator Fairbanks did not enter the hall until number of others had spoken, including c. F. Walbridge, the Republican candidate for governor. When the senator arrived he was re- cefved with tremendous burst of ap- plause from the vast throng present.
 Senator Fairbanks spoke only for about twenty-five minutes He received the closest attention, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour. His address, which was pdnctuated throughout with applause, was in part as follows:
 '"The protective tariff and the gold standard are well suited to our re- quirements. The people demanded good money. We have it. They demanded that good relations with other nations should be preserved. They were never better
 sThey demanded an isthmian canal It is now in course of construction. No act of dishonor attaches to it. What has been done in connection with it involved no violation of international faith. There was no executive usur- patton. President Roosevelt merely protected American interests. He acted in a prompt and firm way, clear ly within our national rights, and thereby made secure the early com pletion of the great enterprise so inn portant to our commerce and to our country.
 We did our duty well in the last two national campaigns. Let us not now jeopardize the fruit of those splen- did victories Letsus not give over the ! administration of national affairs to the opposition which has for so many years antagonized every great measure which has made for our present pros perity and strength and power"
 The time during the day was devoted largely by Senator Fairbanks to meet ing personal and political friends and to visit to Kansas City, Kan, where he made brief address.
 At the meeting in Kansas City, Kan, reference was made to Senator Fair banks availability as a presidential candidate. 1t came from State Senator Cubbison in the following terms: If President Mckinley had lived Senator Fairbanks would almost certainly have been the presidential nominee at this time, but, under the circumstances, all we can do for him now is to elect him to the vice presidency and then nomi- nate and elect him president four years | hence"
