HIT BY HER OWN TORPEDO.
The 5lakeIsy Could Not Get Out of the
 Way Soon Enough.

Pensacola. Fla. March 3l.-As a re- suit of being struck by a Whitehead torpedo being fired from one of her own tubes the torpedo boat Blakeley, which has been engaged fin target prac- tice of this port. has large jagged hole just below her water line on her port side. The Blakeley has been put in drydock and a board of inquiry named to investigate the accident
 The torpedo boat was on the target range engaged in practice. A White head torpedo had been prepared for a range of 1000 yards and fired. It seems that 1t had only gone about loo yards when 1t suddenly sweryed and after making a complete circle came Directly toward the Blakeley.
 Seeing that the torpedo would strike the torpedo boat. full steam ahead was ordered. but the Blakeley failed to set out of the way of the torpedo. which struck on the port side aft. about one foot below the water line. tearing a jagged hole in her hull. Mattresses and bedding were used to stop the in- rush Of water. and the vessel head f6r the navy yard When she arrived Il Is said there were three feet of water in her compartments.

VOTE Fun HUME RULE.
House of Commons Adopts Academic
 Resolution Favorins Ireland.

London, March 31.-After long de- bate on home rule for Ireland the house of commons adopted by a vote of 313 to 157 a resolution by John E. Red mond, the Nationalist leader, that 'in the opinion of this house a solution of this problem can only be attained by giving the Irish people legislative and executive control of all purely Irish af- fairs" after it had been amended by adding the words ''all subject to the supreme authority of the imperial par lament"
 It was known beforehand that the debate could have but an academic in. terest, because the government already had pledged that there would be no deal in the matter of home rule until 1t had been given a mandate at the gen eral election.
 Mir. Redmond declared that an over whelming majority of the present house of commons always had pro fessed their belief that the concession of home rule was the only solution of the Irish problem and that every mem- Der of the present government at one time or another had given public pledges to this same effect.
 The only argument remaining against home rule, MT. Redmond continued. was an argument of fear. It is said, he declared. that Ireland is disloyal. So was Canada fin 1887 and so was Gen eral Botha until the Tnnsvaal was given self government. MT. Redmond in conclusion asked the house to give Ireland what had been given the Frenchmen of Quebec and the Dutch men of the Transvaal and thus close the blackest chapter in the history of the empire.
 Earl Percy on behalf of the Union ists moved an amendment declaring the house to be unalterably opposed to the creation of an Irish parliament with a responsible executive. but the amendment was defeated

FoRAKER CAUGHT MAPPING.
Unintentionally Authorized Attack on
 Public Officials Honesty.

Public Officials Honesty.
 Washington, March 31.-All the sen ate and good part of the rest of the official world is enjoying broad smile at the expense of Senator Foraker. The Ohio statesman has asked and obs tained from the senate leave to with draw a printed public document which, he admitted, he had had printed with. out reading it.
 The paper was prepared by Henry w. Elliott of Lakewood, O., and pur- ported to be "the official record of the loot and ruin of the fur seal herd of Alaska" It was stated in chronolog- ical order, beginning with 1868 and continuing to the present time. It was written in longhand, closely spaced and difficult to read. Professor Elliott had submitted records of pelagic seal ing several times, and they had always been printed as public documents. Therefore when Senator Foraker was asked to have the alleged official rec ord' printed he made the request in the usual form and did not take the trouble to read it. He made apologies to Vice President Fairbanks and sev- eral senators.
 It was not until the paper came out in printed form that it's character be came known It was found to reflect upon the integrity of the presiding ofrl- cer of the senate and upon members of the senate and house and other gov ernment officials.

ter of Million Men Affected.
 Pittsburg March 31. - Thomas L. Lewis, the newly elected president of the United Mine Workers, was request ed to come to Pittsburg from Indian apolis to attend joint conference of miners and operators at which it will be decided whether the mines in the western Pennsylvania district will be closed down tonight pending a settle meme of the wage question. The operators and miners spent the greater part of day in secret session. It was stated that no serious differ ences regarding wages developed at the conference, but that there are a num- Der of other details fin the working agreement in which the operators de- mand changes.
 The miners are said to be willing to continue operations April 1 providing negotiations are not broken off by the 1 operators Both sides have appointed scale committees to meet in joint ses- sion.
 Reports from Indianapolis say the union miners ill most of the coal fields of the country will lay down their picks and shovels tonight Almost 25O,OO0 of them will stop work in Ohio, western Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma. Arkansas, Texas and probably in Indiana, Illinois, Mich l igan, West Virginia and Kentucky. The mining contracts under which they are now working expire at midnight, 1 and, except in central Pennsylvania and in the Indiana block coal district, no contracts have been made, nor have the miners and operators yet entered into district agreements providing for the operation of the mines after April l, pending agreement.
 This is a possibility in the Indiana bituminous coal district, in Illinois, Michigan and West Virginia. The h. diana btuminous, western Pennsylva- mia and Illinois miners and operators are in joint sessions at Terre Haute, Pittsbufg and Springfield.
 Technically the miners will go out on strike, but in reality they stop work because the operators, except in h. diana and Illinois, show no real inten- { ton of meeting and treating with them. though no question of wage or principle is at stake.

HAPPY NOW. Family of Twelve Drink Postun.

"It certainly has been a blessing in our home" writes young lady in regard to Postum.
 q am one of family of twelve, who, before using Postum, would make a healthy person uncomfortable by their complaining of headache, dizziness, sour stomach, etc, from drinking coffee.
 For years mother suffered fh n palpitation of the heart, sick headach~ and bad stomach and at times would be taken violently i'll until about year ago she quit coffee and began Postum.
 My brother was troubled with head ache and dizziness all the time he drank coffee. All those troubles of my mother and brother have disappeared since Pos- tum has taken the place of coffee.
 "One of my brothers declared he would stick to coffee if 1t killed him. which we thought it was doing. One day we ran out of coffee and being a mile from town we gave him Postum without saying what 1t was.
 "'My Ohl'-he said, the coffee Is the best today l have ever tasted
 "A sister was i'll nearly all her life with headache and heart trouble, and about all she cared for was coffee and tea. The doctors told her she must leave them alone, as medicine did her no permanent good.
 "she thought nothing would take the place of coffee until we induced her to try Postum. Now her troubles are all gone and she Is a happy little woman en- toying life as people should.
 q think everyone who makes Postum according to directions on the package will find it a success"
