Java. Boiling Lake Of Mud.

One Of the greatest natural wonders
in Java, "the fire island" large lake
of boiling mud, is situated almost in
the center of the plains of Grobogana,
fifty "paals' to the northeast Of Solo.
1t is almost two miles in circumfer-
ence, and in the center immense col
umns Of soft, hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
black timbers thrust forth and then
suddenly withdrawn by giants hands.
Besides the phenomenon of the columns
there are two gigantic bubbles near the
western edge which fill up like huge
balloons and explode on an average
three times per minute.

Strenuous Life.

Between the Sunday closing Law
and the anti-race track gambling
law Gov. Folk is having rather &
strenuous time. However, the gov.
ernor does not seem to weaken yet,
but looks upon anti gambling laws
and anti-whiskey laws the same a.
any other and seems TO think his
oath of Office just as binding with
reference to the enforcement OF
these laws as any other.
There is no other legitimate
course for governor or any other
executive officer. They are MOI
clothed with judicial powers but art
only presumed to enforce the laws
as they find them on the statute
book.
If the laws are not right or dc
not coincide with the views of 3
majority of the people the rigid en-
torcement will soon cause theli
repeal. The governor has notified
the racetrack gamblers of ST. Loui.
that he will call on the state militia
if necessary TO suppress their unlaw,
ful practices.
If some of the executive officers
Of Kaesas could only be induced tt
have a more wholesome respect foi
their oaths, the laws of Kansas
would be better enforced.
We surely believe in the enforce
ment of all laws SO long as they are
On the statute books.
When they are not satisfactory to
a majority of the people they should
be repealed.

Russian Riots.

RIoting of the most sanguinary
is still in vogue in Russia and hel
provinces.
The laboring classes in many pol
ish cities have quit work and from
time to time engage in riots in which
many are killed. The Russians keep
large bodies of troops at these
places and shoot the people down
without regard to what they may be
doing. Last Friday in Lods the
troops fired volley after volley into
dense crowds of people killing and
woundihg hundreds.
The military quelled the disturb.
ance finally but at an immense cost
of life. There have been many
smaller outbreaks since in which
many more we're killed and wounded.
1t looks like Russia is going to need
most of her army at home instead
of sparing more to 60 over to Man
cnuria to check Oyama.
Russia is surely in a very critical
condition. Her navy destroyed
and her manchurian army pushed
back ento her own frontier after
two crushing cefeats and the whole
populaee restless and uneasy with
many thousand in actual rebellion

acting without leaders and without
any definite purpose

Interesting But Old.

1t seems to be the fad, now, for
the big metropolitan dailies to copy
the pieces from our old McGuftey
readers that We poured over in the
district school in early boyhood.
And really, we must acknowledge,
those old pieces seem like boyhood
friends to us.
They revive the recollections OF
youth and take US back to the old
country schoolhouse on the hill
with its walnut desks decorated with
initials and hieroglyphics typical OF
schoolboy jackknife art.

A Little Excited.

The volatile French nature has
become somewhat excited over the
claims of Germany in the Morocco
case.
A large element of the French
are talking war with Germany. 1t
does look a little like Germany is
trying to but in where she has no
particular business only to increase
her trade and national prestige at
the expense OF that of France.
There is not likely to be war over
this matter.
France is totally unable to cope
with Germany alone and England
surely does not relish the idea OF
backing up France in bloody war.
The matter will be fixed up in some
way without bloodshed.
Possibly Germany will be given
a little taffy to keep her still.

able to return home.
She believed that her mother

sure that her father did now know.

EXPENSES OF JUDGES.
INQUIRY MAY BE ASKED.
Stir Caused By Secretary Sha5c's
Statement IN S1cayne Case.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU ]


Washington, Jan 9.-In the opinion of prom
inent members of Congress a reflection has been
cast on the circuit judges of the United States
by the statement which Secretary Shaw sent to
Representative Gillett, concerning the expense
accounts of the judges of the five circuits. and
it is expected that some Of the more sensitive
members of the judiciary Will demand that
their expense statements be made public in
order TO remove the implication which now
rests them.
1t is pointed out that after the House Of
Representatives had given notice to the Senate
that it was prepared to "impeach Judge Charles
Swayne of high crimes and mlsdemeanOrs," and
with the fact public that the single ground
which led the House to take this step was that
il had discovered proof that Judge Swayne
charged his expenses at $40 day, when they
amounted to less than that sum. Secretary Shaw
took occasion to show that eight out of the
twelve judges the United States bench al
ways collected from the government the full
$40 day.
1t is further pointed out that a still more sus-
picious instance is furnished by Secretary Shaw
in the case OF Circuit Judge "No. of Circuit e"
This judge. according to the Secretary. charged
his expenses to the government at the rate of
50 10 day for pa days. collecting a total of
S2.319. and yet his expenses never amounted to
exceeded $40 Jay. 1t is argued that in the
case of a Judge whose average expenses SO
closely approximated $40 day they must some
times have exceeded that sum. which would
have resulted in some days being charged for
at the legal maximum unless this Judge de-
hberately cooked his accounts TO procure the
maximum sum from the government without
collecting the full $40 day. IL Is also noted
that in no other instance did the expenses Of
a circuit judge who did not collect the maximum
OF $40 day even approximate the average OF
50 20, the highest average OF any other circuit
judge who apparently kept accurate accounts
being So 10 a day.
secretary Shaw has published too much or
too little. in the opinion OF those who have been
studying his statement. IL Is regarded as GER
tain that when the judiciary has had time fully
TO appreciate the fact that the Secretary OF
the Treasury's statement puts them all in the
same class this individual those Judges
whose records will bear the light OF public scru-
tiny will be quick to demand that their ac-
counts be published. IN order that the sheep
may be separated from the wolves In the pub
lie estimation.
1t Is further declared that IL the House de-
termines to push the Swayne case on the single
charge that he falshed his expense accounts

END OF OLD BOOTT MILLS.
Due to Cotton Market and Southern
Competition.

Boston, Jan. 9.-The stockholders of the Boot
cotton mills of Lowell. of the Oldest con-
Germs Of the kind in the country, at a special
meeting here to-day voted to authorize the
directors to Hquidate the company. To unset
tied conditions in the cotton market during the
last year and TO Southern competition are
ascribed the difficulty the corporation has met
in continuing business at profitable figures.
The mills were shut down for three months
last year. involving not only loss Of quick
capital, but addition of 100000 to the la
bilities. The company is capitalized at ST.
100000.
President Arthur Lyman said tonight that
the corporation had been compelled TO lqui-
date account OF the unsettled condition of
the cotton market, and because Of the growing
competition OF the Southern mills with theiI.
larger buildings, more modern machinery and
lower priced help. He said that against those
two factors 1t impossible for the Boot cor
poration to do business at a profit. He added
that the experience Of this company had d.
rect bearing the present deplorable condi-
tions IN Fall River, inasmuch as the Fall River
mills were confronted with the same adverse
elements that had proved too much for the

gress to-day was the passage Of the appropria-
ton for the immediate sanitation of Cuban
cities, the amount of which raised by the
Senate to $326,000 The vote the passage of
the bill % to 10.
While the bill met with considerable oppo-
sition, the criticism was chiefly against the
Senators for invariably amending House bills
and no feeling was expressed against the United
States for reminding Cuba of her duties. 1t
was said however, that Cuba should carry out
the work of sanitation progressively regard
less of any recommendations of the United
States the subject.
The Senate's special committee on sanitation
recommended measures granting all municipall-

w-Orleans. Jan. 9-Passengers arriving here
this afternoon on the steamship Ansem from
Guatemala, reported that revolutionists in that
country We're preparing for another revolution,
and President Manuel Estrada Cabreba was
mabilizing troops the frontier Of Spanish
Honduras and Salvador to suppress any pos

lutionary movement have appealed to President
Cabrera to improve the country's finances with
out success. and they propose unseating him
and electing one of their own men to the Prest-
dency.
Guatemala paper dollars were worth six days
ago 81 cents American money. While silver
money seldom seen. The revolutionists
are demanding a change in the finances, modi-
fed tariffs and better pay for the soldiers who
have not been paid in full for several months.
There is no money available for ammunition,
and the customs receipts are barely sufficient to
meet the republics current expenses
