The forecast which was made weeks ago In
these columns seems TO be fulfilled in the Ger
man Reichstag, where the government "btoc'
has been broken to pieces over the question or
new taxation. The incident may have important
results. The Chancellor may not actually re-
sign though he has ntimated that he might do
so in such a contingency. but his tasks will
certainly be much more difficult and distasteful
if he has again to depend upon chance COM
binations Of Conservatives and CIericals TO pass

From The Baltimore News.


There have been many times when the cantanl1

control over the purse strings of the island has
tried the temper of the American administrators.

where II seriously embaTrasses the adminstra ton

TRUST THE PRESIDENT.
From The Cleveland Leader.

At this distance 1t Is exceedingly dificult TO de-
termine the exact balance Of fact and equity, be-
cause much hinges upon Porto Rican capacity and
disposition; out IL is safe to say that Congress and
the American people will trust the Presidents
judgment and fairness and stand by him. He has
no reason To be unjust. and he understands cond-
tions on the island well enough to know what is
wisest and best In dealing with it's complaints and
its interests.

r., Is Burned.

Andover, N H., April 20.-Aroused
by the coughing of his child, Charles
Stetson went upstairs in his tenement
in the Boston & Maine Railroad station
building here early today, and found
the child's room filled with smoke. He
snatched up the child and aroused the
rest of his family, all getting out safe
ly, but within a short time the build
ing was in flames.
Owing to lack of fire fighting appara-
tus, it was impossible to prevent the
destruction of the building, although
the cash, tickets and valuable papers
in the ticket office and most of Mr..
Stetson's household effects were saved.
BY the vigorous use of buckets filled
with water from the nearby Blackwater
river the townspeople kept the flames
from spreading to the freight station,
containing considerable freight, and to
other nearby buildings. The fire start
ed from an overheated chimney. The
loss will not exceed $4,000.

Little Rock, Ark. April 20.-Five
thousand bales OF cotton, estimated in
value at s25O,OU0, were burned early to-
day in fire which for several hours
threatened to totally destroy the plant
of TIE ST. Louis Compress Co, valued
with its contents, at 100000. The fire
was discovered shortly after 1 O'Clock,
and, famed by a stiff wind, gained
quick Roadway and was soon beyond
ali control After it had burned for al
most two hours, "a sudden shift in the
wind diverted the blaze from the main
portion of the building in which were
stored $4,000 bales of staple and the fire
was finally checked shortly after 3
o'clock.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.
While the origin of the fire has not

spark from passing locomotive might
have been responsible.
