eminent marked for sacrifice. yet an.
precMting as does Count White. that
the old faction which ruled so long at
court would Ike to renew the struggle
for reaction, unhorse the new pre-
mier and jettison the whole reform
pEgram. They admit Count White is
the only man in the present stage of

court camarilla. nevertheless they re

The danger of reaction is hardly
worth serious consideration. however.

step Is irrevocable, that he could not
withdraw if he would, and any at
tempt simply would place him in an
attitude of an usurper of the peoples

7lre to lose the throne. Nevertheless
the failure Of the reform elements to
break with the social democrats and
cooperate with Count White may prove
disastrous and encourage extreme ag-
tators. which will be apt TO provoke
continuance of clashes and excuses
and in the end force the government
to resort to extreme measures, which
being interpreted as a return to the
policy of repression might precipitate
npriSings
Fortunately like a realization of
these dangers is coming home to AZ
small but growing class of liberals.

ENGtAND'S POOR-TAX BILL
System of Providing for the INDECENT
of All Classes Is Ex-
pensive.

The operations of England's poor
tax bill, designed for the relief of
the poor of all classes in England and
Wales as reported to the state de-
partment by United States Consul
Swain at Southampton, show that
during the last half of 1904 there was
expended 'in maintenance" 81. 1872, 100:
for "out relief" s 1853. 74O; making a
total of SIS, 672, $50. an increase of
100000. as compared with similar ex
pe%nditures for the corresponding
period of 1903. In addition to the sum
named the cost for care of insane
poor, in asylums, was IS. 7S4, $40, for
the same half year; or a general total
of $21,457. 040 for the half year. For
the year the charge easily reaches
SAB. 000. 900.
On July 1. 1904, the number of per-
sons in England and Wales in receipt
of poor relief Excluding pauper luna
tics) was 754.046, an increase of 24,-
S04 owe the number on the CORE
spending day in 1903.
This plan,' says Consul Swain,
"of maintaining the children of the
poor-or such as may be in the poor
houses or unions in cottages and
homes of that character, is happily
finding a very general adoption, no
less than 1913 unions now maintain
ing the children away from the pau
perizing effects of poorhouse associa-
tions. The county of London paid out

Another center is the Kaaba in Nee

set up a stone of great consequence in
Rome, but for purposes of measure
ment, not worship. and so the London

Not a Matter Of Speed.

DR.. W. W. Keen, the noted surgeon
of Philadelphia. was praising speed
In surgical operations. The best sur.
geons, he declared, were always the
swiftest. Speed was one of the great
essentials OF. fine operating, since, the
briefer the period passed by the pa
tient under the knife, the greater the
chance for his complete recovery.
"On this head" DR.. Keen continued,
smiling, there is story Of dis
ihguished English surgeon.
HE performed successfully a difi-
cult and delicate operation on mil
lionaire bankers wife. and naturally,
the bill that he rendered for this
operation was large one. It was not
exorbitant. but 1t was enough rea-
sonable and just bill.
1.-THE banker. though. thought other
wise. With an imprecation he de-
clared the bill to be an outrage.

objection, the next time any of your
family needs an operation. I'll keep

MILLIONS IN A BOYCOTT.
Over 100000 Worth Of Cotton Goods 10
Shanghai

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD The
State Department received from United
State Consul Rodgers at Shanghai a
mail report on the boycott by Chinese
merchants of American goods. Infor-
nation has also been received by cable
indicating that the boycott in Shanghai
is practically at an end, but that it still
exists to some extent in Canton.
Consul General Rodgers says:
There are at the present time in
Shanghai warehouses approximately I6o,-
900 bales of American piece goods, val
ued at 100000 Haikwan taels, or near
ly 100000 gold. The question of mar
keting this commodity and of collecting
the money therefor under the present
conditions and with Manchuria closed
presents very serious condition and is
apt to cause great difficulty not only to
the Chinese merchants, but also to the
importers.
what is true of piece goods is also
true of all other lines of staple prod
ucts. The market has been overstocked
and now nothing is moving, and, while
the Chinese merchants are now suffer
ing, the foreign firms will assuredly feel
the effect on the settling dates. The
total value of foreign goods likely to
feel the effect of this boycott movment
in Shanghai alone has been estimated
conservatively a. S25,ooo,ooo gold"

PUSHED INTO THE FLAMES
A Mad Fight For Life in a Factory
Fire.
SEVEN DEAD AND MANY INJURED.
Explosion Of Fuse Causes Fire In Fuse
Factory-Men and Women Employees Rush
Terrorstricken for the Doors and Windows
Those Unable to Escape Burned to
Death.

Avon, Ct. Especially The explosion
of fuse, followed by fire, in a build
ing of the Climax Fuse Company, in
this city, caused panic among 20 en-
ployes in the building, and resulted in
the death of seven and injuries that
doubtless will prove fatal to several
others.
There was no way of coping with the
flames, which soon spread rapidly, and
in less than an hour after the explosion
occurred those who were unable to es-
cape were in the clutches of fire that
eventually burned their bodies to ashes.
As the day wore on the great crowd
that collected in the hamlet saw the
bodies of men and women roasting in
the fire, and were powerless to even
check the flames.
The exact cause of the accident, which
be known; but it is the accepted theory
here that in an effort to burn out
stoppage in one of the machines, work
man caused an explosion of a fuse with
the hot iron he held in his hand.
Those who were in the room where
the explosion occurred say that the ex-
plosion was not severe, and ordinarily
would not have caused panic. In
hamfnable material, however, was set
on fire, and in few moments the room
was mass of flames. In an instant
there was mad rush for the doors and
windows, and during the scramble many
were pushed back into the building,
while others were severely hurt.
There were but 90 hands at work in
the entire plant 1t was stated that some
of the dead may have been overcome
by smoke before they had chance to
flee and that it is improbable that any
one of the seven victims lost his life by
the force of the explosion. ~
An accounting was made for all the
employees but seven, whose names are
given.
Ten physicians from nearby towns
came to the rescue and did good service
in caring for the injured, the screams OF
some of whom could be heard for con-
siderable distance.
The scene at the fire was heartrend-
ing. Friends and relatives of the miss
ing were almost frantic when it be-
came known that bodies of those close
to them were being burned to a Grip in
the ruins of the factory. AS there is no
fire department in the town, it was ut
terly useless to cope with the flames with
buckets.
AS one of the walls of the second
largest building fell several bodies could
be seen entangled in the mass of ma
chinery in the basement, and in short
time they were reduced to ashes. Early
in the evening the body of a woman
was seen near the edge of the fire, and
an effort was made to pull it away from
the flames, but on account of the great
heat this was impossible.
Soon after the building in which the
lives were lost was consumed the fire
spread to the new structure, which was
just completed at cost of $4,000, and
in a few hours this building was Quilted,
only the four walls remaining. The
smaller buildings were reduced to ashes,
making total of four burned, the loss
on which is estimated to be 100000.
