pital. The surgeons found it necessary to
amputate part Of the right arm of Craw-
ford and almost the entire right arm of
Syphax had to be taken on. Both men were
suffering from shock, and Crawford died at
the hospital today.
The men were employed by Bentley p.
Murray to fill the tanks with oxygen-hydro-
gen gas that is used in giving stereopticon
exhibitions. The work was being done on
the second floor Of a rear building, and the
explosion, 1t is said, resulted from the use
OF tank that had been discarded long ago.
Crawford had been In Mr.. Mnrrays employ

therefore surprised when he learned he had
attempted to fill the old tank.
Mrs. Murray and her sister were In the
house. and the noise OF the explosion at

building. The wounded men managed to
get out Of the house, but they were ex-

Missouri-Western or southernp
,c29-Tst.@

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your excellent editorial last evening
relative to having a southern republican In
the cabinet you commit an error Ia placing
Missouri In the list of southern states The
citizens of that state Invariably claim to be
western, unless a question of ailotting
offices in accordance with sections arises,
In which case they claim to be both south
ern and western. Southern republicans do
not relish the idea of being crossfired at by
Missourians in this way. They had dose
of 1t in 1885, when the House of Represen-
tatives was organized by the 'hog COM
bine." In that instance. after southern re-
publicans had urged without success Bill
Upton OF Tennessee and ED" Parker of
Kentucky for doorkeeper and sergeant-at-
arms, respectively, they were told that the
south was represented by Missouri. who had
Joined the combine. I am glad Missouri
Joined the other western states In indorsing
the republican party, and believe she ought
to have something good, but II southern
republicans are to be recognized for their
valiant steadfastness to principle versus
prejudice they hope for q cabinet officer
from their own section.
It IL true that Missouri has been claDsed
among the 'solid south" from democratic
standpoint, but the republicans now more
than ever ought to settle the question as to
whether they are western or southern. They
cannot be both. BLAINE NEWPORT.

JAPs SANK ESCAPING FLEET.
Three Russian Torpedo Boats Sunk at
Port Arthur.

A dispatch from Nagasaki gives a new
version of the report of the sortie Of tor
pedo-boat destroyers from Port Arthur
which occurred at the same time as the
Raxtoropny left. The report says that the
three boats left two days before the Raz-
toropny. carrying duplicates Of a dispatch
from General Stoessel. There were some
badly wounded officers on board the boats
who preferred to risk their lives at sea than
to meet certain death in the unsanitary
hospitals OF Port Arthur.
The Japanese cruiser Kasuga sank the
first destroyer after fight lasting half an
hour. in which all the Russians were shot
or drowned except four, who were rescued
from the sea by boats from the Kasuga
after the destroyer sank. One Of those thus
rescued has since died.
The cruiser Matsushima sank the second
destroyer twenty-five miles from Port Ar
thur, receiving herself an ineffective blow
from a torpedo.
Two Japanese torpedo gunboats sighted
the third destroyer of Liaotfshan at mid
night and chased her until o. o'clock in the
morning. when the engines OF the torpedo
boat broke down. The gunboats discharged
two torpedoes at her, both of which Struck
almost simultaneously. The destroyer sank
with all on board of her.
The correspondent adds that the Japanese
naval officers express the highest admira-
ton for the bravery of the crews of the
destroyers.

CRIMINAL SOCIETY IN ITALY.
The "MaInvita," n Secret ORGANIZATION
of Foggin, Rnided ana Astonish-
ing Truths Brought TO Light.

AS an instance of the way secret soci-
cites like the Malta are organized in
southern Italy. 1t is worth reporting
that the Italian police recently arrested
II persons, all members of a secret or
ganization called the "Malavita" iu the
city of Foggia.
It was discovered that the society was
organized to commit all sorts of crimes,
from highway robbery to kidnapping.
Two schools were found, one to teach
the way to use the knife and the other
for pickpockets. An admission fee OF a
few francs was charged, and the mem
bers were divided into three classes, and
promoted from one to the other by a sort
of supreme court, with headquarters at
Barletta.
The distinctive uniforms Of the men,
bers consisted of red scarf to be worn
as a belt and long curl hanging down
the forehead, or a green scarf for those
of lower degree in the society.
If any one of the members was arrest
ed other members volunteered to give
perjured testimony in his behalf, while
few more took charge Of the witnesses
for the prosecution, whom they scared
by threats into refusing to testify.
A special recruiting department was
also feature of the society.

RADIUM CURES A CANCER.

1t is reported that radium has re-
moved a cancer which had spread over
the entire right cheek of William FIoff-
man. G2 years old, of Newark. N. ].
When he went to New York city for
treatment several specialists expressed
the belief that the growth could be re-
moved only by cutting away nearly all
the flesh on one side of his head.
Hoffman's nephew, physician, pro-
cured a tube containing tiny portion
of radium and experimental by plac-
ing it in the patients mouth He re-
ports that Hoffman complained of O
burning sensation in the cheek. which
became unendurable after about 40
minutes.
The swelling began to go down inn
mediately and the growth began to
disappear, after the treatment had
been continued few days. A stronger
tube was procured from Paris, and at
the end of six weeks the cancer is
said to have entirely disappeared, leav-
ing the cheek in It's normal state.

That eccentricity is not confined to
human beings is shown by a COW on a
farm near Norristown, Pa. The bovine
is 12 years old, but no one has ever
been able to induce her to drink water
from bucket, trough or brook, all
though many attempts have been
made to have her do so. Nothing less
than stream of water pumped from q
cistern for her individual use answers
her vanity. Indulgence on the part
OF her caretaker has fastened her in
the habit beyond all hope OF cure The
COW always grasps the spout of the
pump in her mouth after a good
stream flows. Then very little water
escapes while she is drinking. The
COW is Of mixed breed, with short
horn Jersey predominating, and Fred
Edmunds, who is in charge of the
farm, is at loss to know to what par
ticular strain Of ancestry she owes the
aristocratic notion about allaying
thirst.

seedless Fruit Production.

The experts in the fruit department
of the department of agriculture at
Washington have been very successful
during the past season with their ex-
periments in producing stoneless and
seedless fruits. The dread of appendi-

stimulating the innovation very much.
The success of the seedless naval or

less plums from the same state
were put on the market for the first time
this year. They We're of large size,
deep blue color and delicious in flavor
and quality. A seedless prune is prom
