Narrowly Escaped Burning.

Mrs. J. c. Shuttleworth was painfully burned few days since, and in very peculia manner. She had just lighted the gas range and threw the match on the floor. The match set fire to her cloth ing, and the flames gained great head way before she was aware of 1t. She was holding her 4-months baby in her arms at the time, but had presence of mind to lay the child down, and rush ing to the sink turned the water on her self. The colored cook came to her as- sistance and smothered the flames with a quilt. It was a narrow escape, due solely to presence of mind

THE POWER OF CONGRESS.

The III VI SO1NolNL1oS.
Under the Constitution Congress has
power to regulate interstate commerce,
and in some respects Congress can apply
a much more effective remedy than IS
within the W of any State. Some
have suggested the use of the taxing
power While corporations ought to be
taxed for revenue purposes, it is question
able whether the taxing power can b.
successfully used to exterminate a trust.
nopoly is in a position to transfer to the
consumer any taxes aid upon 1t, so that
the first effect of a tax might be to in
crease the extortion of which the trust is
guilty. Then, too, it would be difficult
to levy an internal revenue tax in such
a way as to hurt only the corporations IT
of the tariff from articles which come
into competition with trust-made goods
would lessen the extortion now practiced
and discourage the organization of Iusts
among manufacturers. but it would not
entirely destroy the trusts, and most Of
the advocates Of protection oppose this
remedy, although many of them would
like to see the trusts exterminated
The most effective weapon within the
reach of the Federal Government, with
out new legislation, is the criminal C ause
of the Sherman law. While it is g oss y
proportionate to the magnitude of the
crime, it's enforcement would accomplish
more than anything that has been tried.
The long term of Imprisonment prescrib-
ed for a man who steals a few hundred
dollars and the short term of imprison-
ment prescribed Tor a trust magnate who
is guilty of stea ing hundreds of thou
sands or even a million dollars from the
people. show how tenderly the large Of
tenders are dealt with even when Grim
iDal prosecution is proposed. But not
w~ithstanding the inadequacy of the pun
ishment, the criminal cause wou d. If en-
forced, kill some of the trusts. A few
trust magnates actually serving time in
the p~enitentiary would do more to stop
the present trend toward monopoly than
any amount of publicity-more han a.
menced.

TARIFF ~TINKERING.


1t is said that President Roosevelt will
call an extra session in October to deal
with the railroad question and readjust
the tariff. If Congress NEEDLES much
with the tariff the Silver State fears Me-
vada will be the loser. There is an east
ern hope that Congress will remove the
tariff on hides. wool, borax, etc., and if
1t does Nevada will feel the effects of the
change almost Immediately. With borax,
wool and hides. three of Nevada's prod
ucts. on the free list would cripple the
State not a little. Those who favor the
removal of the tariff on what is consum-
ed by the people of the United States and
a tariff for revenue only would soon
learn that Nevada was badly crippled.
The east don't care what becomes Of Ne
vada If the raw material used In the
manufacture of goods is put on the free
list, so long as the manufactured article
is protected. We very much fear that If
Congress r~eadjusts the tariff that Me-
vada will get the worst of it. Borax is
a great industry in Nevada; wool grow
ing is one of the States leading indus

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

-
Newport, r. l., May 17-To-day the books OF
the Tax Assessors were opened for inspection
and for the first time the people were able to
ascertain their pro rata in the personal property
tax which has been increased more than S13,-
OOooOO over the tax of last year.
On inspection of the books il Is found that
very few Of the cottagers escaped and nearly
all were raised. many doubled and some in
creased 100 per cent. There are also persons
who were never before taxed in Newport on
personal property. who put on the list this
year. and II is expected that there will be a
howl Of Indignation raised when the figures be-
come known, and IL is believed that the city will
have some trouble in making collections in some
cases. The most notable increase was in the
assessment OF H. A C. Taylor. who is taxed for
S1OOOCv~, while last year his personal property
tax was but 100000 The Goelet estate is also
among the largest increases. S1.1OO.OOO being
added on this estate for the first time. The
largest estates and their increases in personal
property tax are as follows:

PANIC IN QUEENS JAIL
Smoke from Fire to DispeI Damp
ness alarms Prisoners.

panic was caused last evening among the
two hundred prisoners in the upper tiers of
the Queens County Jail by fire built on the
lower floor because of dampness. The attention
of the jail attendants was first called TO the fire
by the yells from the upper tiers. Rushing up
stairs, they found the corridors filled with smoke
and the prisoners panic stricken, fearing repe-
tition Of the fire which almost destroyed the
courthouse last November. The guards thrust
the prisoners into their cells and locked them
In. Smoke pouring in great volumes from
all the ventilators, and as ii rose from the roof
attracted a huge crowd outside the tail, many
of whom had friends inside.
The source of the fire could not be deter
mined until the warden visited one of the rooms
on the first floor, occupied by the TRUSTEES"
There he found the remains Of a big wood fire
In the middle of the cement floor. In the mean
time alarm OF fire had been turned in, and
the arrival of the fire apparatus had added to
the excitement all over the Jail The fire was
eXtinguished by the guards, who trampled it
out
Investigation showed that the TRUSTEES" had
been bringing wood Into the jail all the after
noon. In the evening they found their quarters
too damp for comfort, and to dispel the moist
ure set IRE 70 the wood they had secreted The
jail officials convinced that harm was
meant by the prisoners in building their fire.
