BY beatrce harraden author OK Ships That
Pass IN the Night etc Published by
Frederick A. Stokes company. New York.
~ EATRICE HARRADEN is not
a prolific writer. In all the years
she has been before the public
she has scarcely a dozen books
10 her credit; but the work she turns
out is well worth waiting for. 1t
is always carefully written; it is sure
10 have bits Of pathos In it. most hu-
manly handled, and usually has one
or two questions OF the day for its
readers 70 argue over. This latest book
is no exception to the rule. The move
ment Of the suffragettes in England is
given much space. and while Miss Har-
raden plainly shows her partisanship,
the whole subject is handled with the
utmost delicacy and mcdesty, and at
no time is the writing what may be
called unfeminine.
Margaret Tressider is the heroine Of
this rambling and unexciting tale. She
is 40, and up TO a short time before
this tale opens she has had a very
hard life. She has, in the time of
trouble and stress, turned her hand to
anything; she has been a ships stew
ardess, and had gradually descended
Ia the scale until she is practcing
palmlstry in a small town In California.
Here by the merest accident, a tray-
cling school friend finds her and lifts
her suddenly to comfort and happiness.
This friend. Harriet Rivers. is a di-
vorced woman, and rich. She takes
Margaret as a companion, and when
they are settled IN England there is
all kinds Of trouble IN consequence.
Margaret has g brother and an aunt;
the one, self-satisf1ed piece OF Sun
day respectability, and the other a rich
and crusty old lady. who has had her
own way ell her life. Both OF these
people are stunned when Margaret in
sists upon living her own life.
There are two distinct love stories
IN the novel; the one Of Harriet Rivers
and g. splendid Arctic explorer. who
loves her through disagreeable conven-
tional opposition, and the other one,
Margsrets own love affair, which is
very sad, but so beautifully handled
that one can not wish to change It.
The young surgeon who loves her is a
living, breathing character, one of the
finest In the book and Miss Harraden's 8
strongest creation. The book is very
effectively written and will be much
discussed.

it possible they sell? Here Is young

New Government Has Been Estab-
lished, Former Vice-President

Streets for Several Days, at Least
Five Hundred Lives Being Lost
as Result Of Revolt.

Buenos Ayres.-Advices received
here state that the revolutionists have
been victorious in Paraguay and that
a new government has been estab-
lished. These advices have been con-
firmed by dispatch received by the
minister of foreign affairs of the Ar
gentina legation at Asuncion officially
notifying the minister that the revolu-
tionary party had succeeded in over
throwing the Paraguayan government
and that several of the Paraguayan
ministers OF state had taken refuge in
the legation. The revolutionists have
appointed as president DR.. Emilio Con-
zales Naviro. He held the office OF
vice-president in the government
which has Just been ousted.
Fighting has been proceeding In the
streets of Asuncion for some days past
and many Of the public buildings have
been seriously damaged. Previous
estimates of the killed and wounded,
however, have been exaggerated, and
It is now believed that the number will
not exceed five hundred.

abruptly adjourned, with the decision
to take no further action with regard
to the contests. The full committee
sustained this course without debate.
In the District of Columbia contest
the entire delegation of six members
was involved; the committee divided
the seats between the two contesting
parties, the faction headed by w.
Nick. Clayton, which held the creden.
tials, being given four; and the re.
naming two to the contesting delega-
ton of Charles f. Dare.
Joseph Howley of the Thirty-first
Pennsylvania district, whose right to
his seat was disputed by the Guffey
people, was sustained by the sub.
committee. It was contended that
Howley was not a Democrat, but had
organ .ed a party of his own called
the Bryan party.
The Pennsylvania contests, which
involved eight seats in the city of
Philadelphia and three in Allegheny
county, provoked probably the most
bitter discussion that was heard be-
fore any of the subcommittee.

NO TROUBLE OVER
THE PLATFORM
Only Difficult Plank to Prepare Re-
lates to Use Of Injunction in
Industrial Disputes.

Observation-Disclosures are multiplying
that practically the only difficult plank
to prepare for the Democratic plat
form will be that relating to the use
of injunctiOns in industrial disputes.
Mr.. Bryar has let 1t be known through
number of rel able sources that his
position on this plank is not rigid
Perhaps the most important confer
eDce with reference to the injunction
plank was that held at Fairview, Mr..
Bryan's home, during the dinner given
by the Nebraskan to a number of
prominent Democrats on July 4. At
this dinner Mr.. Bryan stated clearly
that he realized that there might arise
situations where the issuance of an
Injunction without notice to those en-.
joined would be the only remedy
against loss Of life or irreparable dam.

Mr.. Bryan further indicated that II

a plank which would provide for such
emergencies. with the safeguard that
this class of injunctions should be
self-dissolving after a period of three
or five days, the plank would meet his
approval.
Work on the platform continued on
Monday through the medium of an In.
formal subcommittee consisting OF
Governor Haskell, who is to be chair
man of the resolutions committee, and
number of prominent members of
the party, who will have places on
that committee. The product Of this
work will be laid before a large sub.

pointed by the convention. The plan
contemplates telephoning each planl,
to Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln, as soon as II
Is agreed upon by the subcommittee.
In this manner 1t will be possible for
the subcommittee to present to tho
full resolutions committee a perfected
platform which already has received
the stamp OF approval OF the pros
pective candidate.

OVER TWO HUNDRED MEN
IN BLAZING COAL MINE
Mine Horror In Russia Which Re
suits in Heavy Loss Of Life, Many
Of Injured Being crazed
From Shock.

Yuzovo, European Russia.-Fire
has broken out in the Rikovsky
mine, which on Friday wars the scene
of an explosion of gas that resulted
in heavy loss Of life. The work OF
rescue and fighting the fire is being
conducted under thu greatest difficult
ties. More than 200 men remain
down in the mine, shut in by falling
earth, and their fate is unknown.
One hundred and sixty dead bodies
already have been brought out Many
of the men were burned to death,
while others had their heads and
limbs torn off by the force of the ex-
plosion. Seventy-five wounded were
removed to hospitals, and Of these
ten have already expired, and many
more are dying. 1t Is believed that
the present known number of dead
will be increased by seventy-hve.
The explosion occurred Just after
the shift entered the mine. The last
twenty men in the shift were still In
the cage at the bottom of the shart,
and they were drawn to the surface
uninjured. Rescue parties we're at
once organized and commenced to
go down. Six of the rescuers were
suffocated, but the others bravely
continued at work.
In the meanwhile the 5000 miners
who had gathered at the head of the
shaft became so excited that troops
had to be summoned. They cleared
the ground and allowed only members
of the families of victims to come
within their Gordon. Heartrending
scenes were witnesses as the mangled
bodies of the dead men were brought
to the surface and given over TO the
bereaved women. Many Of the
wounded are quite mad from shock.
The cause of the explosion is not
known.
