So. instead Of continuing the fight within
the city, the rebels went 10 several outlying
villages and killed all the Nanchus resid-
ing there October % they renewed the
attack on the Manchus in Hsian-Fu The
Manchu fortidcations soon capitulated, and
horrible slaughter cnsued. There arc no
reliable figures as To just how many were
killed. but there must have been many
more than a thousand. The rebels carried
on their bloody task with the utmost bar
barity.
While they were at it bandits began
their work i'm the city. They made an at

her and the six school children. Vatnc

1T WAS REPORTED WITHOUT
RECOMMENDATION BY THE FL
y NANCE COMMITTEE.
OPPOSITION GROWS STRONGER
Senators Hale and Hepburn Are Block
ing the Way in the
Senate.
(Bg Associated PrSS.)

Washington, Feb. 24-The Mccall
bill to carry out the provisions of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement was
ordered to report to the senate with
out recommendation" by the finance
committee this morning.
That determined effort will be
made on the floor of the senate to
amend the Mccall bill to carry out the
provisions of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement and that the movement will
receive the support of a considerable
number of Republicans, both regulars
and insurgents, became apparent soon
after the senate convened today.
Senators Hale and Hepburn are de-
nying their intention to filibuster. but
they are not concealing their desire
to defeat the reciprocity treaty if they
can do so. and the former has also
thrown an obstacle across the path
of the new treaty with Japan, which
adds to the legislative jam. Hepburn
called at the White House and dis
cussed the treaty with the president
who was unable to convince him that
if adopted the Mccall bill would not
hurt the interests of Idaho or serve
as an entering wedge for the destruc-
tion of the protective tariff system
The senator said that his opposition
had not weakened in the smallest de-
gree, and that he would stand against
it as long as his conscience would
permit.
~ do not know what the agreement
will be when the Mccall bill COMES
out of the senate finance committee, >
said the senator. But if it is not
amended to meet my objections, my
position with regard to it will not
change"

TO ARRANGE FOR STATE PRl-
MARY, ACCORDING TO CHAIR
MAN LoMAx.
PRIMARY LAWS FIX The DATE
Can Not be Held Earlier Than Au-
sust-WiIi Postpone as Long
as Possible.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 24.-According
to Chairman c. L. Lomax, of the
Democratic state executive committee
there will be no necessity for calling
a meeting of the body to arrange for
the state primaries this year, until
some time in May. A similar opinion
is expressed by Hon. j. NJ Stirling, of
this city, secretary of the committee.
The primary election laws of Missis-
sippi virtually fix the dates for hold
ing the primaries. section 3700 pro
viding that the first primary shall be
held not earlier than the LIST Of Au-
gust, and the second primary not
earlier than the goth Of August. or
later than the 1st of September, thus
allowing the interval OF about three
weeks for canvassing by candidates
who must go into the run-off event.
1t is quite probable that the state
executive committee will select the
latest dates possible, thus giving all
aspirants for office full opportunity to
meet and mingle with the voters.
1t is customary for the committee
to prescribe the qualifications for vot-
! ers, and it is a foregone conclusion
that the body will accept as its basis
of procedure in this regard the i'm
portant opinion recently issued by
Attorney-General S. s. Hudson that no
person is a qualified elector unless he
has paid, prior to Feb. LIST, all taxes
that may be assessed against him.
| This includes the Communication tax.
which is neglected by so many per.
sons, and it is stated on good authori-
ty that if the state executive eommlr-
tee adopts this opinion, and it is
strictly enforced by the county boards
/ of election commissioners in revising
the poll books, il will mean the elimi-
nation of nearly 10000 persons who
have heretofore participated in pri-
mary elections.

National Bureau Of Mines Lists
Those Which Are "Per-
missible"

Washington. Feb. PA list of
permissible" explosives tested by the
Bureau of Mines at its testing plant
at PittSburg is given in a circular is
sued by that bureau The paper also
contains a long summary of precau-
tions advised for the prevention of ex-
plosions. The Bureau of Mines def
milton of the term permissible explo-
sives is as follows:
An explosive is called a permissible
explosive when it is similar in all re
spects to the sample that passed GER
tain tests by the National Bureau of
Mines, and when it is used in accord
ance with the conditions prescribed
by that bureau"
Permissible explosives, it is de-
clared, give a short and relatively
cool flame that is less likely to ignite
gas or coal dust than is the longer and
hotter flame of dynamite or the longer
and much more lasting flame of black
powder. Whether an explosive has
the good qualities of the former can
only be determined by testing, it is
said, and to carry on the experiments
the Pittsburg station has been suitably
equipped.
although an explosive may have
passed the tests and have been placed
on the permissible list, it must not be
supposed that thereafter it is to be
considered permissible, regardless of
its condition or the way in which 1t is
used" says the bulletin. "Thus, for
example, an explosive named in the
permissible list, If kept in a moist
place until it undergoes change in
character. is no longer to be consid
cred permissible explosive"
