The Hiram (Ohio) fire department
has the finest assortment Of girls hose
in the state, as result of an appeal
for new equipment. The fire depart
ment has been in great need of more
rubber hose with which to fight fires.
To raise funds a subscription paper
was passed among students and citi-
zens, the goods not being neglected. A
student solicitor called on the young
women of Bowler and Millen halls and
asked their assistace. Next morning
he found a clothes line stretched
across the street from his window
bearing some 80 pairs of women's
hose of varying sizes and colors.
On the line in big letters was this
inscription: The ladies of Bowler and
Millen halls take PLEASURE in contrib
uting 80 feet of hose to the support
of the Hiram fire department"

on themselves to identify the donors

SIav Parsonage Declares Hope of Re-

The Associated Press is able to give
the results of an important converse
ton with high parsonage regarding
the situation in Russia. Neither the
name nor the position of this person
age can be indicated, but his COM
potency to speak upon the situation
can be vouched for.
The conversation, which covered a
wide range, left the distinct impress
sion that the assembling of the ma
tional parliament would bring crisis,
but not the one anticipated abroad
The government evidently is absolute
ly convinced that an armed revolution
or general uprising sucn as would men
ace it's life is no longer possible, and
that the danger is not that the govern
ment will be overthrow, but that II
will be driven to abandon its path OF
reform.

Treachery-30 Are Shot Down.
Governor Curry of Samar, Chased
by Rebels, Still Missing-Hope for
lis Recovery.

The recent fight at Magtaon, Samar
between the constabulary and Pula-
james was the result of base treachery
on the part of the natives. AS a result
of the fight, 80 Pulajanes were killed
and 16 of the constabulary killed and
wounded.
dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
said Governor Curry Judge Lobinger
and Superintendent of Schools Hoover
arrived there and camped over night
near the Pulajanes. The presence OF
the officials was made known to the
rebellious natives, and their leader an
nounced that he would surrender his
force the next day. AS a result of his
promise, the Americans returned to
the town of Magtaon, accompanied by
Colonel Aguillar, another Pulajane
chief
The next day four chiefs of the Pula-
james with over 100 men and IA guns,
appeared at Magtaon and lined up in
front of the constabulary barracks. Be
tween the barracks and the Pulajanes
stood the group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed a wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Superintend-
ent Hoover, in compliance with their
request, was adjusting his camera,
when the Pulajanes leader blew a
whistle and gave an order to advance
The entire party of natives then rush
ed upon the American officials, who
escaped to Magtaon river and swan to
the opposite bank. When the treach
cry of the natives was apparent, the
constabulary Immediately opened fire
and fierce fight ensued, in which the
constabulary gained decisive victory
The Pulajanes were chased to the
mountains, but the pursuers lost more
guns than they captured.
The American officials were late
found, with the exception of Governol
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by Pulajanes, and is now believed II
be hiding in the dense brush in tina
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are nov
on the trail of the fugitive natives ant

several weeks ago with two other I'M

furnished the money to have not only
the Bliss building, but other buildings
destroyed and the work of construc
ton halted, because contractors insist
upon an open shop. The district at
torney's Office has refused to divulge
the names of the walking delegates
involved

Why Not?

The proposition emanating from the
Ohio association to place, tablet
somewhere in the new statehouse COM
memorative of the "Ordinance of
1872 is an interesting one. A part
Of the state of Minnesota was included
in the great Northwest territory created
by the act Of 1887. That ordinance
guaranteed peculiar rights and privl-
leees to the inhabitants of all the states
and territories which might afterward
be carved out of the section Of country
covered by it. It dedicated this new
country to civil and religious liberty.
It is highly appropriate that it should
be commemorated in the way proposed
and it will be altogether to the credit
and glory Of Minnesota to have the fact
emphasized that this state was in part
carved out Of that great territory. We
can conceive Of no reason why the cap
itol commission should not be glad to
have such a tablet placed in the new
statehouse, provided the tablet offered
is appropriate and does not in any re-
spect mar the architectural beauty of
the structure, which, Of course, there is
no reason to fear.

AGREE ON ARBITRATION
EASTERN AND WESTERN oFFT-

VIDE EXPORT GRAIN RATE.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Feb. 21-The question of
the division of freight rates on export
grain from Missouri river points TO the
Atlantic seaboard, which has long been
a point of contention between the east
ern and western lines, will be arbi-
tiated, II the officials of the western
lines accept the proposition made yes
terday by officials of the eastern lines.
Tne proposition is now under considera-
ton and an answer soon will be re-
turned.
Representatives of various lines held
an adjourned meeting in the western
trunk lines rooms yesterday and re-
newed the negotiations at the point
where they had been dropped last Fri
day. The fasteners declared that they
would make no further concessions
than announced at the former confer
ence and as these were not acceptable
to the western committee, agreed to
leave the matter to arbitration The
western committee took the proposition
under adyisement.
At The last conference it was an
Eounced that the roads had come within
one-half cent per 100 pounds in agree
ing on the basis of division. It was
thought that this small difference
would soon be wiped out and that a
contract would he made under which
export grain would move from Missouri
river points to the Atlantic seaboard
thru Chicago. But such was not the
case.
| 1t is understood that in the negotia-
lions the westerners failed to agree
among themselves and that while some
OF them were willing to accept the con-
| cesSjonS made by the eastern lines,
others held out for better terms.
