VIII Be Admitted to Union.
The conference report on the state
hood bill passed the lower house Thurs
day afternoon without a dissenting
vote and al O'Clock the same evening
the bill received the signature of Pres
ident Roosevelt, thus becoming law
A scene of hearty enthusiasm took
place when the conference report passed
the House The statehood question has
been pending in Congress so long that
even those who were dissatisfied with
the provisions of the bill were glad that
the veXed issue had been settled at last.
The bill admits Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one State Internationally
and admits Arizona and New Mexico
as one State on condition that at the
general election this fall the people of
both Territories, voting separately, rat
ify the union.
A most dramatic scene occurred when
Speaker Cannon left the chair took his
old place on the floor and vehemently
denied the insinuation made by Dele
gate Smith of Arizona that undue in
fuence had been used in postponing an
agreement.
The greatest disturbance that will
occur in official life in Indian Territory
following the passage of the statehood
bill will be in the Federal courts. In
dian Territory finally will comprise one
Federal district, and there will be only
one set of Federal officers where there
are now four. There are in each of the
four Federal districts two judges, each
drawing a salary of 5000 a year.

FATAL EXPLOSION ON SHIP.
Internal Machine Suspected to Hav.
Been the Cause.

Suspected have
Been the Cause.
Nine men were killed and about for
" injured by terrific explosion
Thursday on the British steamer Ha-
yerford of the International Naviga-
ton Company. 1t is suspected that an
Internal machine was the cause. al
though a barrel of naphtha may have
blown up.
The vessel, commanded by Captain
Nielsen, arrived at Liverpool from
Philadelphia, landed her passengers
and proceeded to Huskisson Dock 10
unload. The stevedores were loosen
ing the matches when suddenly a v!o-
lent hlast occurred. 1t blew off the
matches, rent the decks and hurled
dead and wounded men III all direc-
tons.
The explosion, which was heard for
many blocks, was followed by fire. The
cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake
in hold No. > and hold No. ), soon
was blazing tiercely. Firemen and DO
lice hurried to the spot and the injured
We're taken to a neighboring hospital.
The fire soon assumed alarming proper
tons, owing to the infiammable nature
of the cargo. After two hours hard
fighting, however, the firemen obtained
the mastery of the flames.
The report that the explosion was
caused by an internal machine arose
from the finding of a wooden box Il
foot square in one of the holds. This
box, which was only partly shattered,
still contained pieces of steel machin-
cry. 1t was prominently marked For
Manchester, England" The officials of
the International Navigation Company
say they believe the explosion was due
to ignition of gas given off by naphtha
soap, which formed part of the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond the rents in the
deck, but inside the damage is exteD-
sive.

BURLINGTON is FOUND GUILTY.
May BE Fined $4,000 for Rebates
to Kansas City Packers

1t took a Kansas City jury just thirty
five minutes to find the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad Company guilty
of violating the Elkins law by granting a
rebate to the Armour, Swift, Cudahy and
Nelson Morris packing companies. Each
of the four packing companies named had
already been found guilty of a similar vio-
lation of law. The two cases, taken to-
gether, uphold the governments conten-
ton that it is as wrong to grant rebates
as it is to receive them.
The Burlington was found guilty on
four counts and fine of from ST 900 to
$4,000 on each count may be imposed
1t will be possible thus for Judge Nc
Pherson to impose a total fine of $4,000
on the company if he chooses. Sentence
was deferred.

MANY JEWS IAN
Wholesale. Russ Massacre Is Started
by Throwing of bomb.

Wholesale. Russ WaSsacre Is Started
by Throwing of Bomb.
At least thirty Jews We're killed dur
ing an anti-Semitic outbreak al Bialy-
stok, Russia. Thursday All the jew
ish shops on the four principal streets
were sacked and the city. with popu-
Iation OF G000o, o. whom $4,000 are
Jews, was at the mercy of the mob.
Every indication supports the belief
that the massacre was deliberately
planned. The slaughter began when
some one threw bomb at the Corpus
Christi procession as it w.s passing
through Alexandpovski street Ghe
bomb was thrown from balcony, and
it exploded among the processionists,
killing and wounding many persons,
including Fedoroff. priest of the Rus
sian church. 1t is asserted that the
bomb was thrown by Jew.
The explosion Of the bomb seems to
have been the signal for the ferocious
outbreak. Almost Immediately shots
were fired into the crowd from the
building from which the bomb was
hurled.
Revolver fusillades also were heard
simultaneously in other parts of the
city. Soldiers hastily surrounded the
house from which the bomb was thrown
and poured two volleys through the
windows.
Then the enraged Christians at
tackled the Jews wherever they could
find them. A mob poured down through
the entire Jewish quarter and attacked
the Jewish shops, particularly in Alex
androvski and Sura streets, demolish-
ing the fixtures and windows and
throwing the goods into the cutters and
beating and numbering the Jews.
A crowd of Jews fed to the railroad
station, pursued by the mob which
killed many of them there. Three Jews
were thrown from second story win
dOws of the railroad station building.
Bialystok is an extensive manufac-
turing town. 100 miles northeast of
Warsaw. 1t is one of the handsome
cities of old Poland, and has been
called the Versailles of POland'' 1t is
a garrison point, but not we'll manned

Sioux Fails woman ChaSSed with
Causing Domestic's Death.
\ sensation was created n Sioux Falls,
S. D., by the arrest of Mrs. Moses kauf-
mann, wife of wealthy lsewer, on the
charge Of manslaughter IN connection
with the death of Agnes Polreis- who was
employed as a domestic in the Kaufman
home. The girl died several days ago
and was buried at Parkston. Believing
that her death was due 10 unnatural
causes, interested persons had the body
exhumed and examined by five physi-
clans. On her head AMI body were found
numerous cuts and bruises. 1t was dis
covered that her legs were swathed in
cloth, and when the ban1ages were remoV-
ed the flesh had the appearance Of having
been scalded. This is alleged to have been
due 10 attempts to revive her after she
had been beaten into an unconscious con-
dition. 1t is alleged that the girl died
as a result of beatings administered by
Mrs. Kaufman, and that these beatinSs
were due to Mrs. Kaufmann's inability
to control her temper. Mrs Kaufman
was arraigned before a l1cql justice OF the
peace and the State presented part OF Its
evidence against the accused. The de-
Tense offered no testimony and Mrs. haut-
mann was bound over to the next term
of the State Circuit Court.

Committee Decides Government VIII
Foot Inspection Bill.
Rigid meat inspection at an annual cost
to the government of 100000 is pro-
vided for in substitute for tie Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural bill agreed
to by the House committee on agriculture.
Government labels guaranteeing that the
products are healthful, clean and in ev-
cry respect fit for food are required for
interstate commerce and, in addition to
this label, a certificate for foreign COM
merce. The substitute passed the COM
mittee by the close vote of 8 to Z and A
minority report favoring the amended
Beveridge provision will be submitted
The most stubborn contest in committee
was over the question of payment of the
cost of inspection. Henry Comm, Hau-
gen (Iowa) and Davis (Minn.), Repub-
Ecans, and Lamb (Va.), Bowie (Ala.)
and Gambler (Miss.), Democrats, voted
to impose the cost upon the packers. Gro
mer (Ind.) did not vote, and the other
members, including Chairman Wadsworth
and William Lorimer, voted to put the
cost on the government.

Field of Microscopy Extended.

Two German scientists, Drs. Zeigmondy
and Siedentopf of Jena university, have
recently brought into use a new method
of microscopic research, through which
objects a thousand times smaller than
any hitherto visible by the most powerful
microscope may be observed. This meth
cd is based on the well-known fact that
particles Of dust which float in a sun
beam are visible only when the observer
stands at a right angle to the sunbeam.
These particles are so small as not to be
visible through our strongest microscopes,
although they appear to be visible to The
naked eye. What we see is not the parti-
Gle itself, but a cone of light reflected
from it, and the new method of the ul-
tramicroscope or hyper-microscope, is
simply an ordinary microscope placed at
right angles to a ray of light, in which
particles measuring not more than a five
millionth of an inch become visible Thus
disease bacilli hitherto invisible may be
studied at viii.
