species of Christianity practised by the natives,
the spirit of antagonism to the white man has
increased rather than diminished among the
aboriginal tribes. They have learned to realize
their strength, while the gospel OF equality with
the whites, taught alike by missionaries and by
politicians, has served to destroy almost en-
tireIy the prestige of the white man, which was
one of his principal sources of power. In Cape

length of giving the native vote which leads

(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, May 21.-One man IS
known to have been killed and ten
others injured and property to the
extent of 100000 destroyed by a
fire which broke out today in the
plant of the Wintermayer box fac
tory. The flames spread through the
building with great rapidity, cutti lg
off the exit of the employees on the
second and third floors. Many of
them ran to the fire escapes, down
which they climbed, while Others
were compelled to leap from the win
dows of the two upper floors. The
majority of those injured were hurr
in this manner. From the plant of
the box factory the flames spread to
the establishment of the Suez orna-
mental glass factory. In this place
several men were injured by jumping
from the windows. The lumberyard
of the w. Wflce Lumber Company,
adjoining the box factory. was de-
stroyed.
