But before he could reply, another
sound was added to the awful babel of
cries and groans all around.
Fire! f1re.' we heard shrieked in
voices mad with terror, mingled with
agonizing cries for help. The atmos.

Not for an instant did it occur to

MUST COME OUT IN OPEN.
Clark objects to Coolies Working on
Panama Canal.

Washington.-The house on Friday
adopted an amendment abrogating
the eight.hour law for alien labor in
the Panama canal zone. The Demo-
Gratis combatted the amendment. The
vote stood S3 to 35. The debate pre-
ceding the vote developed difference
of opinion as to whether the Chinese
exclusion act extends to the canal
zone.
Filibustering tactics were used by
the minority in efforts to defeat the
proposed amendments, but after half
dozen attempts to obtain rollcall
on various motions had failed, the
house went into committee of the
whole and the eight-hour amends
ment was at once offered under the
rule.
Mr. Clark of Missouri gave notice
that he should Immediately prepare q
bill extending the Chinese exclusion
act to the isthmus of Panama. "and
will make it extend to Japanese
coolies. too" he declared. because

a gesture, approached and bent over

lips moved

close to the others ear, so that the
words might be heard by none but
him for whom they were intended.

child said he; "and when am
gone"
He gave deep sigh, his eyes closed
and his head fell little to one side.
The doctor pressed forward.
This is the end" he said, "and a
very peaceful one.
Once more the dying eyes opened,
and fXed themselves upon the pale
remorseful face of the young man who
had once hoped to see him expiate his
deed upon the scaffold.
Then he turned them from him to
the bowed head of the girl who knelt,
with her face hidden, upon the other
lips moved for the last time, but no
words issued from them.
He tried again, and this time
though there was no sound-it seemed

upon them, and his ear strained to

motion OF the lips might be translated

end came.
The next day Ted Burrtt returned

The first thing he did was to write
a brief summary of events to DR.. Jere-
