Princess Patricia, of Connaught. who

AN EMPRESS' ESCAPE.
Count Nisra Tells How Eugene Was
Taken From tho Tuileries.
From the London Telegram.

From the London Telegram.
The late Count Nlgra, whose death
was reported the other day, was once
Italian ambassador at Paris, and In
that capacity helped the Empress Eu-
genie to escape from the Tuileries in
1870.
The incident is thus related by
N'igla:
Napoleon was a prisoner, all Paris
was crushed by the desolating news
which continually arrived, ~ thous-
ands surrounded the Tuileries. The
impress was in despair and could not
be persuaded to leave the palace. To
General Trochu the task of protecting
Eer majesty had been committed. He
showed himself, however, very inactive,
and seemed inclined to let matters
take their course.
I'm the a~nte-chamber to her ma
jesty's apartments Count Richard Met
ternich and County Nisra suddenly ap-
peared and demanded admission. The
adjutant on duty refused to let them
pass. The two diplomatists brushed
him aside and threw open the door
where the impress sat. They advised
her immediate fight. telling her she
last their advice prevailed. and ac-
companied by Nine. Lebreton. and
wearing only a light mantilla. she hur-
ried through the picture gallery and a
long corridor to a side door, where the
sentinel refused to let them pass.
Counts Metternich and Nigra made,
however. short work Of him, and led
the empress into the street, where a
man was haranguing a crowd and vio-
lently abusing Napoleon to some
thousands of people. Nigra called to a
passing farce. A boy exclaimed: You
are the EMPRESS Count Nigra gave the
boy a blow, crying: Take that for hav-
ing cried Long live the Prussians!"'
Then followed the we'll known flight to
the house OF DR.. Evans, from which
place she proceeded on her Journeys"

warmly as he rose. You have re-

With which expression Of magnan-
unity he took his departure, thoroughly
satisfied with his own cleverness in
having solved a difficult problem.
Behind. in his room, the Cynic sat
staring rather aimlessly into the fire.
The %immobility Of his face had relaxed

The bureau of the census has just issued bulletin SS, which Is report
 on the power employed in manufac- lures. This report, which forms part
 of the census of manufactures of
 1905, contains the statistics for the calendar year 1904, and was pre-
 pared under the supervision of Will liam M Steuart, chief statistician for
 manufactures, by Thomas Commer-
 ford Martin, expert special agent. The largest amount of water power
 used in manufactures at the census
 of 1905 was reported Gy New York
 The capacity in that state increased
 from 335,411 horse power in 1900
 to 446, 134 horse power in 1905, giv-
 ing that state 27.1 per cent of the
 total for the whole country. The
 continued leadership of New York
 in the use of water powe.' is due
 largely to the utilization Of this kind
 of power in the paper and wood pulp
 industry. Of the total water power
 reported by New York at the census of 1905, paper and wood pulp manu- factures used 73 rer cent The next largest utilization of water power in manufactures was reported by the state of Maine, with 203,094 horse power, followed closely by Massa- chusetts, with 1S3,427 horse power. Wisconsin was fourth. with 112,665 | horse power. In Wisconsin, as in Maine and New York, the paper and | wood pulp industry is the largest | of water power, while in Massachusetts the cotton and wool | industries are the largest. As | might be expected in some of the states and territories where the ag- gregate of water power is least the percentage of increase has been greatest, as the addition of few hundred horse power has been enough to double the capacity. It is worthy of note, however, that the increase between 1900 and 1905 was 33 per cent in New York, 279 per cent in Maine, and 21 per cent n Wisconsin. In Massachusetts md also in Connecticut and Yer mont there was virtually no further in water power--in act, tendency toward retrogression S visible in certain parts of the New England region. It may be possible hat the greater use of steam in ome of the industries in the north 'rn states may be due to the fact hat the water powers have already 'een developed to their full capacity.

Secretary of the Navy Metcalf has
 announced that there is no idea of sending any of the admirals on the retired list around Cape Horn with the battleship fleet. This leaves the prospect exactly as it was at first with Admiral Evans, familiarly known as Fighting Bob" the logi- cal commander of the big squadron. It is a little remarkable that there should ever have been any ques- ion of selecting some of the retired officers for this important command. It has been spoken of by the admin istration as a practice cruise pure and simple. Of course that is what 1t will be officially, but the inciden- tai effect on our prestige in the Pa cific will not be overlooked. Still the chief value of the cruise will be in training the officers of the navy to handle big units in squadron for nation. It may be a long time be- fore there is a war-it is to be sim cerely hoped that it will-and there seems little use in lavishing the training and experience on some commanding officer who probably will be dead and buried before ever he has a chance to use it.

CUBAN AGITAT0RS JAILED.
conspirators Planned to Dynamite Ha- vana Buildings.


 Washington, Sept 27.-Oficial word of the arrests of conspirators in Ha. vana reached the war department in the following cable message addressed by Governor Magoon to Acting Secre. tary Oliver:
 Information more specific and cer- tain than heretofore received was se- cured that Masso Parra, angered by failure to bring about an uprising. threatened to dynamite some building in Havana and then escape. The local police arrested him and two of his gang, named Lara Mlret and Ducassi, and they are now in jail" It is known that the conspiracy originally was matched in New York by certain Amer jeans whose names, 1t is said, already are in the possession of the United States secret service agents. It is as- serted that the leaders here were sim ply professional revOlutiOnists hired for the job. Governor Magoon, however, is not taking any chances. He is ap- parently prepared, with 5000 Ameri. can soldiers and 5000 rural guards, to crush any movement an instant after 1t Is started.

The New Britain Herald hits the
 nail on the head when it says that the salary does not cut much of a
 figure with the man who wants to go to the legislature. He would
 want to go if there was no salary at tached just the same. If one was to
 judge by the work done by the mem- bers of the late general assembly in the public interests it would be gen. erally acknowledged that the mem bers receive ample remuneration at $500, says the Herald. They could not have done less if they had re- ceived no salary at all and it is not likely considering their acts as speaking louder than words that if they had received $500 instead of $500 that they would have been any more active in safeguarding the well fare of the public. As matter of fact the question of the salary in volved cuts absolutely no ice in the contest for membership in the as- sembly. Honor, prestige and the op- portunity to get in touch with great interests account for the presence of most of the present membership.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1907.

On account of the high wages paid in the shipyards in the United States bordering on the lakes number of American yacht, barge and steam boat owners have been sending their vessels to Canadian dry docks for re- pair. Those that have gone to Kingston for such repairs find that when they pay the charges and the customs tariff on the repairs when they re-enter the United States, to- gether with the incidental delays and the time consumed in sending the vessels to Kingston, that it is as cheap if not cheaper to have the work done in the American ship yards. Several of such American owners have said that on the whole the work in the American yards is as cheap and the work generally su- perior, and that hereafter they will be satisfied to keep their work at home.

THE WHITE PLAGUE.
Big Percentage Of All Deaths Is
 Traced To It.

Washington, D. C.. September 27 -"TWelve per cent of the deaths of
 persons of all ages in America are due to the white plague popularly
 known as consumption. In pracli-
 cally every instance the infection of
 tuberculosis is communicated to peO-
 pie through impure milk and not
 through the breathing of dried spu-
 tum, as generally is supposed. My
 belief is that the government could do no greater humanitarian work
 than in providing a fund for the eradication of tuberculosis from cat
 tie. This work could be performed
 comparatively easily, and, while the
 initial cost might be considerable, it
 would be well worth the money ex- pended"
 Dr C. F. Schroeder, of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. made this statement, after very exhaustive invistigatiOn of the causes which lead to tuberculo- sis.
 If some man of the wealth of Andrew Carnegie could be induced to devote some of his riches to the eradication of the white plague his name would 20 down to history as one of the greatest benefactOrs of his race. l have no doubt that consump- ton practically could be eradicated from the United States by the applica- tion of modern scientific methods in I,. hnp ,f I COW in the country ought to be tested for tuberculosis and, if found infected the animal ought to be killed. Thousands of milch cows undOubted- ly are infected with tuberculosis and the milk they furnish carries with it the germs of the disease into the hu- man system.
 ''In a vast majority of cases. it has been demonstrated cOnclusively that the germs of the white plague arc introduced into the human system through the alimentary canal Thence they are carried into the lungs or throat or bowels. where they in- crease enormously The only way to prevent the introduction Of consump- AAbh ~ftlAs AAtb NAlE Sa rtfAA NAIOAEu milk is to boil the milk. and, Of course. that is impraeticable in a of instances.

Therefore. if we purify the milk supply of a given community wei practically eliminate danger of the white plague. 5"
