PRESIDENT TAFT
TOURING KANSAS
Given Warm Greeting at a Num-
Der Of Towns.

Coffeyville, Kan, Sept. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft arrived here at $3.50 a. m.
and was given n rousing reception.
The town was handsomely decorated
in his honor and busy program was
outlined for him during the four hours
he remained here.
The presidents schedule for the day
took him to four other Kansas towns
before he left for Kansas City, where
he will address the National Conser'
walton congress.
At 10:30 he left here for Independ-
ences Kan. Upon his arrival there he
was escorted through two lines OF
school children to the courthouse
lawn, where he delivered an address.
After remaining In independence thir-
ty minutes the president went to Cher
ryvale, arriving there at 1850. He
left at 1920 for Chanute, where he
remained from 4 :25 to 1:55, when he
departed for Ottawa, where he re.
mained only ten minutes.
At Coffeyville the president faced q
crowd of several thousand at the
Plaza and told them of his tariff We
toes. The crowd at times got beyond
control of the police and there was
constant confusion.
Those who could hear the presi'
dent, however, listened most atten1
lively and occasionally there was ap
plause.

started to jump overheard and were
caught by the second detonation.
suffocated In Binding Smoke.
The crew was panic stricken and
rushed wildly about, cropping through
the binding smoke, in which many
fell unconscious from suffocation.
There we're many vessels in the har-
Dor, including number of warships
which have been maneuvering here
since the first of the month. The ex-
plosion brought quick response from
the nearby men of war and from the
shore. Dozens OF boats put of and
picked up survivors and floating
bodies.
There were three tremendous ex-
plosions in quick succession after the
fire reached the magazines. One hun
dred men saved themselves by jump
ing and others would have escaped
but for the discipline which held them
at their posts.
At the first explosion the men below
suddenly awakened, tumbled from
their berths and. rushing to the sides
of the vessel, were throwing them
selves overheard when an order call
ing them to their stations rang out and
! held to their death those who had not
already escaped.
Many Vessels Lose Men.
Nearly every vessel of the squadron
lost some men from the parties sent to
the aid of the burning battleship. The
Verite was moored nearest, being
about 225 yards from the Liberte.
Eight of the verite's men were wound
ed by flying fragments blown from
he Liberte or by pieces of bursting
shells. The decks of the Verite were
crowded with men who were watching
the frightful spectacle and who were
targets for the falling debris.
The Liberte was broken in two by
the violence OF the final explosion. She
sank In forty feet of water.
With the last convulsion of the
mighty sea fighter, men and wreckage
were tossed high in the air and a
shower of human limbs, bits of flesh
articles of clothing, pieces of armor
plate and splinters of wood fell upon
the decks OF the Verite and upon the
wide circle OF the men or war and
small boats standing by.
The latest estimate of the dead Il
ct put 400.

Fire on French Vessel Reaches
Ammunition Hold and Ter
rifle Explosions Follow.
CRAFT GOES TOBOTTOM
Immense Fissures Opened In HeI
Framework by the Force
Of the Explosions.

Toulon, France, Sept. 26.-Fire
broke out in the ammunition hold OF
the battleship Liberte, counted one OF
the finest vessels in the French navy,
and the explosions which followed
wrecked the great ship and killed
more than half of her crew of 1893 off,
GERS and men.
When the fire was discovered it did
not appear to be serious, but somehow
or other 1t gained quick advantage
over the squad of sailors sent to ex-
tinguish 1t, and suddenly, without
warning, it reached the magazines,
which had not been flooded on account
of the apparently trifiing nature OF
the blaze.
The force of the explosions was ter
rifle. They shook the vessel fore and
aft, each one seemingly stronger than
that preceding, opening up great fis-
sures in the armor and framework OF
the vessel.
The vessel Immediately became a
mass of fire and smoke and soon, al
most demolished by the terrific deto-
nations, sank to the bottom OF Toulon
harbor.
Scores Die In Their 6erths.
Scores of the seamen died in their
berths. A few dozen saved themselves
by jumping overheard. Many of those
injured leaped into the water and
were drowned before boats from the
other ships in the .roadstead could
reach them.
Two hundred OF the crew escaped
death because they we're ashore on

board.
The carnage in the explosions was
worse than could ever have occurred
in an actual naval engagement. The
frst crash came when the crew was
for the most part dispersed In various
sections of the vessel. They were
without warning OF their danger

EXPRESS RATES ARE HIGH
North Dakota Commission Decision
Hits. Companies.

i t
Bismarck. N, d., Sept. 26.-Declara-
tion that all express rates in North
Dakota are too high is made by the
state railroad commission In its writ
ten decision turning down the applica-
tion Of the state launderers for lower
rates.
The commission says the granting
OF the plea of the laundry men for a
lower rate on laundry consignments
would be discriminatory and that in
order to effect it 1t would be neces-
other classifications. The board also
holds that the plea for the placing OF
dry cleaned clothes in the same class
as laundry is not well founded and
cannot be granted.

London, Sept. 26.--In a signed state

THE present unrest Of the working
classes throughout the world is q

The unequal distribution OF wealth
and contrast between the lives OF the

Twenty-One Years a State.

On July grid, Idaho was III years
old. The state was admitted into
the Union July 3, 1890, and from
Bonner county, in the extreme
north, to Bear Lake, in the south
eastern corner, there was abund-
ant proof to be found that no mis-
take was made by the federal
government when statehood was
conferred on the gem of the noun
tains.
In population, in the assessed
value OF her property, in the in
crease in railroad mileage, in the
advances in education, in agricul-
ture, mining, manufacturing, in
every avenue of human endeavor
Idaho has taken a high position
among the younger states.
Above all else in the reclamation
of arid land through irrigation
Idaho has set a pace for every
state in the Union. In addition to
the gigantic projects fostered by
the federal government private
capital are working out projects in
this state that in time are certain
to add wonderfully to the popula.
ton and wealth of the community.
A state that can increase in
population in III years from 81, 900
to $4,000, from $245, 900 to $14o,-
900, 900 in assessed valuation,
from 1888 to 2348 ia railroad mileage,
from $4,000, 900 to $42, 900, 900
in the value Of her farms, and from
81, 600, 900 to 500, 900, 900 in the
value of farm products has no
cause to be pessmistic as to the
future.
But the best thing to be con-
sidered on Idaho's 21st anniversary
is her prospect for the future.
Everything that has transpired
since the state was admitted into
the Union, every indication points
to much more rapid progress in
the years to come, Nowhere on
the horizon is there thing indi-
eating in any degree that mistake
was made, either for the state or
nation, when President Benjamin
Harrison attached his signature to
the bill ushering Idaho into the
sisterhood of commonwealth.
