 Several narrow escapes were reported from lodgers at the Creighton, among those who had close calls foy tkeir' lives, being J. F. keighley, Charles Hippolite an,i r.. E. Vining. All had rooras on the third -:oor and were awakened barely in time to escape partially clothed.
 Friends of Mr. T. E. Vining broke open his door and aroused him iust in time to escape before the flames c.1t off the stairway. Nearly all the, dodgers on this floor lost most of their effects; the lights were cut off and fear ing to be lost and strangulated in the smoke, they were forced to make 8 hurried departure.

leadership and over the endorsement
Of the two United States senators
aroused intense interest and resulted
in an almost complete ignoring of the
candidates for the state offices for
which the convention was being &C
tually held. Before the district meet
ings claims and counter claims, state
ments and replies, interviews and
comments on interviews were handed
about until the issues seemed clouded,
and anything like reliable poll OF
the delegates, who numbered nearly
$50, was out of the question. Senator
Dick, whose claim to a certain re-elec-

committee has never wavered, was
willing to concede that the result
might be close, but that there could
be any doubt of his winning seemed
not to have occurred to him. On the

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve great victory.

To acquaint workmen with the ma
terial used in manufacturing and the
technique of the business conducted in
different towns, the Young Mems
Christian Association is arranging lee
lures by experts.
At Johnstown and Gloversville, N.
Y, glove manufacturing centers, lee
lures on tanning glove feathers are
given. The mill workers at North
Adams have special course in text
lie design and fabrics. In Brockton,
the shoe workers are instructed about
leather and shoes. At Portland SIM
liar talks are given in forestry prob
lens to the wood and lumber dealers.
In Iowa one association is now ar
ranging for a course of lectures, quiz
yes and demonstrations on corn and
it's cultivation, and on the care and
fee ding of live stock for the farmer
members.
The above shows the many-sided
featuresand adaptability of the work
of the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton to the industrial life of COM
munity. In this way an Association
in this city will be of untold value to
the manufacturers of Richmond.

patches printed in the daily press,
there can be no doubt from the atti-

When the news Of issuing of these

commission there was immediate and
almost unanimous denunciation OF
President Palma and other members
Of the government. Senior San Guilo,
Independent, who was present and
who usually is moderate in his utter
ances, made an impassioned speech in
which he declared that there remain
ed for Cuba but two roads to travel
On of honor, the other of disgrace. The
government, he said. had refused
offers to settle the difficulties and so
nothing was left but side with it's op
ponents.
The report that the Cuban govern
ment had been in communication with
Washington is without foundation.
Washington has not been consulted
in any manner. Government officials
claim that the administration is cap
able of coping with the situation.
The government of Cuba now views
with suspicion not only its political
opponents, but also many of those
whom it has hitherto trusted as
friends. The officials have suspected
for several days that even some OF the
members Of the veterans peace COM
mittee desired to turn their peace
making into practical Liberal vic
tory Since the majority of those in
terested in the movement are Liberals
and Independents. this fact gives
some color to such suspicious. The
