One Said Mother Was Dying, and Another Wife, CauS-
 ing Recipient to Faint.
ARCHIE CALL IN
 STUP0R SIX HOURS.
Could Not Stand Shock of Hearing That Two Dearest to Him in World Were III and Might Not Recover.

For six hours last night Archie Call lay between life and death, the result of fainting spell, from which the at tending hpysicians feared for a time he would never rally.
 Call, who has been employed as Q waiter in the Edelweiss Cafe for sev. eral weeks, received a message about o'clock in the afternoon from De. troit. stating that his mother was al the point of death and might not live through the night.
 HaH an hour laer z. olue-coated mes. senger boy brought him another tele. graph envelope. Tearing it open with trembling fingers, Call was startled to read that his wife in Tucson was dangerously Iii and might not live more than few hours. and for him to come at once. .-.-- -.--- .---r
 Unable to bear the shock of two telegrams. reaching him within half ar hour, each bringing news of ap- preaching death, Call tainted where he. had taken the last message from the outstretched hand of the smiling messenger boy. IHt HuStc III lue Cdle WAS 5nuSHeu, careless drinkers and people eating supper pushed their glasses and the steaming plates from them to rush to the spot where the young man lay in a faint. Tender hands picked him from the hard floor and carried the h. animate form to a chair.
 Dashing water in Calls face and fan ming him with wet towels had no ef- feet. When he had not come to in twenty minutes, those interested in his welfare took alarm and imme- diately telephoned for physician, who labored for over five hours before he could bring the patient from the stubor into which he had fallen.
 Late last night it was stated that Calls condition had greatly improved, though there is still fear of his again fainting from weakness, as result Of the effects of his long stupor last night.
 Calls first words on coming to were to inquire about his mother and wife. No further telegrams came last night regarding their condition. Call will probably go to Tucson today if he is able to travel. It Is believed that he will be able :o leave the city.

THE ABUSE OF THE SENATE.

1t has been much the fashion OF late
some have even gone to the eXtrava-
CANT and wholly indefensible length of
imputing treason to it-this for no 9TH
er reason than that a few OF it's mem
bers are alleged to be unworthy OF
their high stations, and that the SEN
ate does not choose to act with the
speed that some impatient ones con-
slider desirable. The fact that the few
supposed to be unworthy do not con-
troll the great body to which they be-
long and that the deliberate action OF
the Senate often averts serious mis-
takes are matters ignored by the as
sailants of the greatest delIberatlve
body In the world
The fact Is, that the Senate is as
able, as high toned, as fully worthy of
the respect OF the American public
now as II ever was. We speak OF the
great Senators of the past. with awe
and admiration. of Webster, of Clay, OF
Calhoun. of Benton. of Douglas, and OF
others In the brilliant galaxy OF shin
ing ones. And we do well TO revere
their memories. But who remembers
half dozen OF Webster's contempo-
rarIes? Who recalls the fellow -Sena-
tors of any of the great lights of the
Senate? And we do not fail to remem-
Der that the Senator's OF the past have

Senate OF our own day, AS there were
great lawyers In the Senate before
Spooner, so there have been Senators

needs no defense: Its course defends IL.

ELECTRIFYING CHINA.

one of the most astonishing evidences
made in China is afforded by the or
ganizatlon of 4 company to build an
electric railway from Canton to San
Wu, distance Of sixty miles. Tho
project is being promoted by wealthy
Cinnamon resident in British Coum
bia and they have obtained an ample
concession from the Chinese Imperial
Government. With capitalization of
81, 100000. in gold, and with subscrlp-
tlons TO the stock coming from pro-
gressive Cinnamon throughout the En-
pire, the company seems fully prepared
to carry into effect this enterprise
Furthermore, the concessionaires are
seeking to get additional rights from
the city of Canton so that they may
supply the light and power to that
densely populated place. Canton has
an estimated population Of 1000. 900
souls-although this may be somewhat
of an eXaggeration-and San WI is es
timated to have 100000 people. The
from the streams in the DUAL Tong
Shun mountains, thirty miles distant
from San WI. No foreigners are to be
permitted to take stock, as this would
vitate the concession.
II is a current belief that the China
man and Assimilation are incongruous.
There Is supposed to be some undying
enmity between the two. But the
belief is erroneous in one particular.
The Chinaman may not be easily as
simulated but he assimilates easily, He
takes what he likes and what he does
not like cannot take him. Innovations
attempted by foreigners in China have
had q most disastrous careers but
later experience demonstrated that the
Chinese antagonIsm was more against
the innoYator than the innovation.
With the new spirit-which the China
man calls merely the old spirit of his
race-to embody the modern achieve
ment In the Chinese life under the d.
recton OF Cinnamon, that Empire
opens upon century whose events
may be formidable to the rest OF civili-
zation.
There need be no doubt that the cleo
tric railway between Canton and San
Wu will be patronized, When the
ChInaman can utilize the mechanical
achievements of the rest OF the world
without yielding any of his Chinese
prejudice against the presence of and
domination by foreigners, he is as
ready TO assinilate as is the citizen of
almost any other country In the world.
except America. 1t is just as difficult
to Introduce an innovation In London
as 1t is to introduce one In China-until
the Londoner can have 1t under English
control
