day. transformed it in a trice into roar
ing furnace and dealt out death TO at least
three persons. probably three others, and
possibly to eight altogether. A mother
and two of her children are known to
be dead Another daughter is missing
and is supposed to have persisted. a
fourth child, thought to have died, was
found later to have been in school. The
blast also brought injuries to many per-
sons and a number of them are expected
to expire. The three upper floors OF the
building. which is four stories high, were
occupied as living apartments, and IN

Company, a proprietary medicine concern
The explosion occurred in the basement,
supposedly from combustion OF the chem

There was a rush for fire escapes and
windows, when the occupants recovered
from the force of the explosion and fG0nd
themselves in the midst of a furnace
Hands and faces were burned and hair
singed off in the rush to safety. On the

PLANS U. S. ARMY OF 100000.
War Department Would Analga-
mate the Regulars and Militia.


The War Department has perfected
a plan for the virtual amalgamation OF
10000 men, comprising all the regular
and national guard troops in the United
States, into an army ready to answer
the call Of the President. Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver has given out
this information.
The War Department plan means
nothing more nor less than that the
moment this country gets into trouble
the so-called national guard organiza-
tons will cease TO exist as such and
Immediately become units of the regular
army absolutely under the control of
the President and the Secretary of War.
This scheme" said Mr.. Oliver. sis
the first move in the plan to make this
country a military power. Before this
we have had no authority over the
State troops, better known, perhaps, as
militia and national guard organiza-
tons. What we propose 10 do is to or
ganize these State troops and all the
regular forces into eight army corps.
and the New England States, New York
and other States in the military divi-
sion known as the Department of the
East will constitute the first army
corps. AS at present planned the War
Department will be able to put into the
field almost Immediately an army of
100000 men. Part will DE perfectly
trained and the efficiency of the rest
will be so increased that they will form
a smooth working force"

How to Deal with Anarchy.

That the policy of severe punishment of
avowed anarchists and the making of
martyrs of them will only feed the men
tai alteration which results in anarchy
is the position taken by Walter p. Nc
CURE in a thoughtful article for the June
Van Nordens Magazine. He asks if it
is not possible for the government to as
sumo a sympathetic attitude toward this
unfortunate class and insists that the
progress made by the anarchists is due
largely to the neglect of the problems of
the poor by those who have intelligence
and time enough to study them" He pro-
poses that men be sent among the poor to
preach that where law ends tyranny be-
gins" and that the theories of the anarch-
list are self-contradictory. Besides, much
of the anarchist susceptibility is attribut-
ed to the brutal methods of the city police
in handling the poor people of the slums.

planks on currency. the trusts and the

with the aims of the party as expressed
in the platform. On this point Mr..
Bryan says:
