FLAMES CUT OFF ESCAPE
Score of Persons Trapped in Rickety
Building Rescued From Win
dows by Firemen.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December H.
BIackened and ruined walls of a rickety
four-story tenement house at Sd and
Sycamore streets in the downtown dis
trict bore Evidence today of an early
morning tragedy, in which seven lives
were sacrificed and a dozen persons were
injured. three probably fatally, in fire
last midnight. An overturned kerosene
lamp. upset by a second-f1oor tenant, is
said to have started the blaze. The po-
lice and firemen made many thrilling
rescueS.
! The fire made swift Roadway through
the narrow passageways. and when the
startled families, numbering in all fifty
persons. were awakened to a realization
of their danger they found their way of
escape cut off by the burning stairways.
In their frenzy and fear they leaped
from their windows before the arrival
of members of the fire department. and
sustained broken arms, legs and internal
injuries The members of the hre de-
partment worked with desperate haste
and courage to rescue the unfortunateS
who crowded to their windows and beg
ged piteously for help.
Six Bodies Found.
A dozen persons were saved by the aid
Of ladders, but many of them were badly
burned before they could be reached.
l. An unknown boy carried down. died
from his burns while being taken to
the hospital. After the fire had been
brought under partial control SO that the
firemen could penetrate to the rear OF
the structure they found six bodies
burned beyond recognition.

Interest in World Affairs.

1t is not perhaps appropriate to date a
religious movement from a war, but 1t
does seem to me as if our people acquired
world feeling from the time We under
took the responsibility of freeing Cuba
and saying what should be done by our
neighbors with reference to internal gov
eminent when that internal government
seemed to us to pass the bound of what
we thought to be civilization. We began
our war expecting to finish it shortly,
and we landed in the Philippines. and we
are still there: but our horizon has
widened much beyond these gems of the
Pacific ocean by reason of the RESPONSE
bilities which we have been obliged to
assume with reference to the entire
world.
I'VE are nation with tremendous
power and tremendous wealth. and unless
we use that for the benefit of our inter-
national neighbors-and they are neigh
borS of ours, for the world Is very small
We are failing to discharge the duties
that we ought to feel as members Of the
international community. 1
The mission Is nucleus and an
epitome of the civilization that is ex-
pected to widen out in that neighbor-
hood. l have heard missions criticised.
| have heard men say that they would
iioI contribute W ioIei6H MlsslOHS dC All
that we had wicked people enough at
home. and we might just as well leave
the foreign natives and savages to pur-
sue their own happy lives in forests, and
look after cur own. who need a great deal
of ministratOn. have come to regard
that as narrOwminded as the man who
does not like music. who does not under
stand the things that God has provided
for the elevation of the human race. The
missionaries in China, the missionaries
in Africa, are the forerunr >rs of our CIV
lization, and without them we should
have no hope of conquering the love and
the admiration and the respect Of the mil
lions OF people that We hope to bring
under the influences of the Christian civ
ilizaton.

Invasion of the Traders.

Those who go for mercantile purposes
into those distant lands. 1 am sorry to
say. are quicker to catch the savage ten
denotes than the savages are to catch
from them the best of our Christian civil
lization, and If they had to depend for
their belief in the good that is to come to
them from embracing Christianity and
accepting the civilization that we offer
them to that which they learned from the
adventures that go far into the interior
to buy things from them at price much
too low and much below what ought to
be paid, should never succeed at all.
THE men whom / wish to commend are
those who, in the face Of all the obstacles
that certainly tend to discourage the
bravest, enter the dark continent of
Africa I'm an attempt to win those fields
to Christianity. The United States has
not any territory of interest there. We
did make an experiment or encourage an
experiment some years ago i'm Liberia,
and we do have the interest that we
ought to have in trying to preserve the
integrity of that little negro republic: but
you know and the nations Of the world
know that we are not i'm Africa to spread
our territory: We have enough-some
people think we have got a good deal
more than .enough-and certainly there is
no one SO imperialistic as to desire to
share a part of the dark continent.

made of Early's skin. and the complete

s3O,oOO FOR PAIR OF CLAIMS
Such Is Price Paid by Inspiration Cop per Company for Land to Con-
 plete Property.

By a deal which reached final con summation Tuesday, two claims ad
 joining the Inspiration property in Mi ami flat passed to the control of the In
 spiration Copper company. The claims in question are the Monte Christo and the Sunset and they adjoin the Eureka mine and the claims recently purchased from Charles E. Taylor by the Inspira

O'Brien in partnership and the half interest of Mrs. Woods was sold for $1O,000 in stock of the Inspira- tion company, which was immediately taken up by the company for 5000 in cash. MT. O'Brien did not sell his in terest, but will retain the undivided half of this claim. The Sunset clam was the property of Lyman c. Woods was the property of Lyman c. Woods, William Stevenson and J. J.

NEW HIGH MARK FOR WHEAT.

CHICAGO, February lO.-Although new high level was reached in wheat, business was not large, and the estab- fishing of the new high mark, was chiefly the result of purchase by lead ing bulls, who, it was claimed, bought 100000 bushels during the last half of the day This buying brought out an active demand by shorts who had apparently oversold earlier in the scs- sion.
 During the day May ranged between 1101- and lli-7-S and closed at III 3-4; July closed at 100 1-2 to 100 3-s.
 Cold weather in the corn belt had a depressing effect on the corn market. At the close prices were q shade lower to IA higher. May 64 l-4; July 64 to 64 Is.

ID MAKE NEWLAWs
ARIZONA AND SONORA MINING MEN TO LEAD MOVEMENT
 FOR RECREATION

DENVER, Colo, February 10.-Im- pelled by the pressing need that exists for a complete revision of the laws covering metalliferous mining, the American Mining Congress is arrapg- ing to present forcibly to the federal congress at its next session a year hence, the demands of western mining men for the amendment of the old, and the passage of new statutes regulating mining. This will be one of the prin- cipal themes to be discussed at the next annual session to be held at Goldfeld, New, next fall, and the mining men of Arizona and Sonora, who comprise the Arizona.Sonora branch of the Mining congress. will, in conjunction with the other branches, frame new mining code. This will be done by eliminat- ing so far as possible the undesirable features of the present United States. Mexican and British Columbia laws, and incorporating all that is good into this new code. The united recommenda- tion of these subsidiary organizations will be presented to the Mining con gress st it's next session. From there. the matter will be taken direct to the congress of the United States.
 The agitation in mining circles at present favors the elimination of the law of apex, which is a prolific source of litigation, and has been the cause of much loss in mining. A satisfactory solution of this question alone will have decidedly wholesome effect upon in vesting classes, and it will make capital for western mining enterprises more easily secured. If has always been the aim of the Mining congress to attract capital for western mining enterprises. by eliminating, so far as possible, the objectionable features from the indus try.
 Arizona has attracted wide attention to her course with regard to the law of the apex, and the freedom of her big companies from lawsuits, particularly where they have compon side and end lines, is the cause of admiration.
 In other points, as in the case of the vexatious apex, Arizona is expected to set the pace for other mining districts, and the attempt of her mining men to draw up suitable laws for all sections will be watched with intense interest.

Copper Producers Report S
 of Encouragement 10 Miners

Tho initial report of Secretary l.. c. Graton of the Copper Producers asso- ciation giving the amount of surplus copper in the United States on Febru- ary l at l22,o0o,0o0 pounds, will no doubt be a surprise to the general pub lie, who have been led to believe by various estimates given currency by the press that the accumulation of copper in this country had already reached enormous proportions. And it is likely that this assumption on the part of many people will be siezed upon and used with effect by those interests which would be the gathers by the fur ther depression of the market for the metal. 3-sg sF nA2
 The natural effect of the publication from an official source of figures, in dicsting stocks of copper in the aggre- gate that are surprisingly small, should be to cause an immediate and pro. nouneed reversal of the copper market stimulate buying movement and ma terially advance the price of copper, and, coincidently, the the values of copper securities.
 The large copper producers and sell ing agencies have all along shown con fdence in the soundness of the metal conditions, declaring that there was no such accumulation of unsold copper in this country as would menace the sta bility of the industry, or that should cause any uneasiness in the trade. The stated surplus, l22 100000 pounds, in reality represents about one and half

months consumptive demand, and if the published estimates of the present consumption of copper-65 to 75 per cent of the normal--are accepted, then the significance of the Copper Producers report becomes strikingly apparent; for, if the published figures are reliable, then the conviction is forced upon, us that the normal consumption of copper restored-and there is reason to believe 1t will be before many months have elapsed--then shortage of copper and return to the high prices which pre- vailed two years ago would seem to be inevitable.
 It is the aim of the Copper Producers association, representing over 90 per cent of the copper producing interests of the United States, to have their monthly reports as complete and ae- curate as it is possible to make them, that they will be accepted by the trade and all others interested in copper sta tistics without qual fcation. MT. Graton, statistician for the association, was chosen to fill that important position because of his recognized ability and long experience in dealing with copper statistics, during the years he has been connected with the United States Geo graphical Survey, and those who are familiar with Mir. Graton's character and his work as statistician feel the utmost confidence that his reports for the Copper Producers association will be compiled with great care, and can be relied upon as being accurate.
