Woman Hunts a spesk.easy.

ConshOhocken, Pa, May "a wo-
man here in the role of Carrie Nation
will probably accomplish what the police
have failed to do-suppress the sale of
intoxicating liquors on Sunday. When
this woman's husband returned home
Sunday under the influence of liquor. he
acted in an ugly way and abused her.
Aiming herself with an axe she started
out with the intention of demolisbing
the speak easy where be had obtained
his drinks The proprietor of the place
she visited barred her entrance. She
was determined, however, aad after sew
eral blows with the axe the door gave
way. After getting evidence of the
character of the establishment she de-
parted. She notified the authorities aud
arrests will follow.

ALL OVER Austria and Germany a
story has been circulated that the United
States Treasury has been looted of every
dollar by burglars in the employ OF
American millionaires; that S26S, 900
0OO is gone, and that the North Allan
tic squadron is chasing the cracksmen,
who escaped on five ocean steamers. The
author of the report was quite ingenius,
but he stretched his imagination too far.
That the treasury has been looted is
known by all men, as is also the fact
that the millionaire trusts are the hooters,
but the "cracksmen' are too bold to
flee and the North Atlantic squadron is
not chasing millionaires, but dancing
attendance to them at the seaside resorts.

ATA LUNCHEON given recently to the
FOREIGN consuls by the Chicago Com
mercial Association, Governor Cum
Minis. of Iowa, expressed his fear that
our attitude of hostility to reciprocity with
Canada had resulted in the door Of OPP
portunity being permanently closed to
Us. He deplored the refusal OF the Sen
ate to ratify the reciprocity treaties
negotiated by Commissioner Kassou, and
noted that we are now threatened with
exclusion from German markets unless
we shall make a fair bargain by means
of reciprocity treaty. He said GAS
Congress is unalterabiy, inhexibly and
Indignantly opposed to any change
whatsoever" the only chance OF getting
free trade relations was through tie cleo
ton Of "men who will do something for
men who are determined to do nothing.
Ia commenting upon this the Philadel-
phia Record well says:
But the Governor party is too heavily
morgaged to the tariff bene6ciaries Tor
campaign funds to do anything, and the
county will have to elect democratic
President end Congress If it would secure
wider outlet for its surplus manutac-
lures, and perhaps even lis food prod
ucts. Manufacturers and trade associa'
tons have asked repeatedly for relaxa-
tons Of the tariff, but the republican
party hls sold itself to limited number
of powerful int rests that are hostile.

Government Control of Corporations.

Denver Col. May 9.-Presldent
Roosevelt 10 a speech last night at a
banquet rendered by the Chamber of
Commerce, made an unqualified declara-
ton that the federal government should
supervise and control all the large cor
poTations. The speech created a sensa-
ton. The Presidentieft here this morn
ing, at seven O'Clock. The President
said
81 want to say word as TO govern
mental policy in which | feel the whole
country ought to take great interest
and which is itself but part of a general
policy into which | think our govern
ment must go. | have spoken of the
policy Of extending the powers Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
giving them particularly the power TO
fix rates, and to have the rates that
they fix 90 into effect practically at once.
And say that this represents in my mind
part of what should be the general poi
icy of this country. The policy of CIV
ing not to the state, but to the nation
al government, an increased super
visory and regulatory power over
corporations, is the first step, and, to my
mind, the most important step. In the
days OF the fathers Of the older among
you, the highways of commerce for
civilized nations were what they had
always been; that is waterways and roads.
Therefore, they were open to all who
choose TO travel upon them. Within
the last two generations we have seen
systems grow up and now the typical
highway of commerce is the railroad.
Compared 10 the railroad, the ordinary
road for wheeled vehicles and the water
way, whether natural or artificial, have
lost all their importance. When such
is the case, in my Judgment, it is abso-
lutely proper that the nation-for the
State cannot POSSIBLY DO it-sh uld as
assume q supervisory and regulatory
function over the great corporations
which practically control the highways
Of CO nmerce. cannot attempt to speak
in detail of all that should be put into
the law, as hope it will be enacted at
the next session of the National Con-
gress. Not only should this power OF
rates go in but in my belief we should
at the same time deal with the private

Children Injured by Bulls.

Seville, May AT the town of Vii
lamanrique, eighteen miles southwest
of this city, yesterday a herd of $50
bulls, which we're being bred for the
bull ring, escaped from the pens in
which they were confined and made
rush for the open highway. A crowd of
children playing on the highway were
directly in the path of the wild brutss
and the little ones were run down and
trampIed. Twenty children we're injured,
niue of them receiving injuries which
it is feared will provo fatal.

As HAS BEEN stated in the Gazette,
bananas, the staple of the tropics, are 50
plentiful and cheap now at certain At
laniic ports, that at the steamers ridicu-
lousy low prices prevail. A record crop
in the West Indies, the beginning OF
the reign of the strawberry and other
domestic fruit and the preference for
the latter have caused glut. Bana-
ma prices at wholesale are ranging from
90 cents bunch down to 3 cents, IN
Baltimore. Last week eight steamers
arrived at that port. Their cargoes to-
tailed 1865, 973 lunches. About quart
cr OF a century ago bananas, now so
plentiful and within the reach of all,
were an expensive luxury. They now
form household staple.

Destructive Forest Fires.

Boston, May 9.--Forest fires through
out New England are burning with
greater fierceness than at any time since
they started several days ago, and today
it is believed the only thing that can
keep them uuder control will be heavy
and continued dOwnpour of rain. Al
ready nearly $3.50, 900 worth of property
has been destroyed. many have been
made homeless and number OF the fire
fighters have been burned and otherwise
injured while battling with the flames
by the primitive bush methods.
Today these fires are still raging in
many localities and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of property is
threatened. At one fire alone 5000
men, women and children fought the
flames and several thousand farmer,
villagers and 6remen are now engaged
day and night in apparently futile at
tempts to keep the flames leaping through
dry forests and grass lands under coll
troll.
Smaller fires are reported throughout
other parts of New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. The most
rious fire has extended into the four
towns of Plymouth, Kingston, Plymp-
ton and Carver, in this State, where it
is estimated that rs square miles have
been laid waste. Several buildings were
burned and the settlement of Indian
Pond barely escaped being wiped out
A fire that started at North Harwick
destroyed 200 acres of thickly grown
forest, caused loss of Sl5, 600 and reach
ed Pleasant Lake, FIVE miles distant.
At Wells Beach, Maine, thirty square
miles have been burned over.

Buffalo, n. Y, May AT the first

psny to report our meetings" No little
commOtion was caused by the announce
ment. The delegate by general vote
was unsested and put out Of the hall.
His name was not made public.
