INSANE ASYLUM BURNED,
INMATES ALL RESCUED
Great Difficulty in Removing the Six
Hundred Patients.

Brandon, Man. Nov. 4.-The insane
asylum of the Manitoba government
was burned to the ground here late
this afternoon causing loss of $780,
900, but all of the inmates were res
cued in safety. One of the woman pa
tents playing with matches was re-
sponsible for the fire.
There were six hundred patients in
the asylum and great difhcNlfy was
experienced in getting them aut. a
number were severel.v injured and
others badly chilled in the cold, as a
snowstorm was raging. and they were
without shelter.
The pitia,ble crowd stood around in
the snow. their scant garments blown
around their frail bodies by the cold
wind. The hospital staff assisted by
the military and citizens of the town.
finally found shelter for them in sta
bles, outhouses and other buildings.
Arrangements were at once made to
fit up the arrnorv and winter fair
buildings for temporary quarters. but
the problem of looking after the pa
tients during the winter is serious
one, as the asylum at Seikirk is al
ready filed.
The asylum was a t1lile and a half
from the city and the fire was be-
yond control before the department
arrived.

Express Drivers Strike in New York
Reaches a Deadlock.


New. York, Nov 4-The quarrel be-
tween the six trancontinental express
companies and their employees in the
metropolitan district reached a dead
lock today. Indirectly, but with gooi
warrant for belief, the men received
assurances from the state board OF
mediation that their grievances would
be favorably listened to il they would
consent to forego their cardinal de-
mand for recognition of their union
the International Brotherhood o.
Teamsters. But in mass meeting to-
night the men unanimously resolved
that they would stay out until the un-
ion was recognized.
Altogether, the situation, if not more
threatening. grew certainly more OBJ
stinate, although in form it altered
little from its appearance yesterday.
"The situation seems more serious
than for the past two days" said Will
lam C. Rogers, of the state board Of
mediation and arbitration tonight
"but we are not without hope of 6
speedy settlement.

'I do not deny that the democratic
party always has, and does today,
mean well. but it's misfortune has been
that up to date, with very few excep-
tions. it has opposed every sound prin-

Lean quoted from the keynote speech
of John 5. Seymour of Norwalk, DEM
ocratic candidate for the United States
senate, delivered at the democratic
state convention, in which he said:
Free raw material means a lower
duty on manufactures How much
lower? Not the lowest, at first, but a
lower. much lower duty than is now
imposed. And then again still lower,
as it works over a period of years.

bad. Someone ought to fortify the
