fire department
Several patients who were unable to
walk were carried to safety. The dense
smoke hampered the work as the last
ones were led away, but no serious in
juries were recorded. Mr. Mitchell per-
sonally led the fighting of the fire. He
was repeatedly driven back BY the
smoke and other doctors took his
place. Miss Harriet Reed. supervisor
of nurses, directed the work of the six
ty nurses who. with only dressing
gowns drawn over their night clothes,
played streams from small hand ex-
tinguishers on the flames.
The asylum is about 1000 feet above
sea level. The glare of the flames was
visible for miles in every direction and
when finally the tower above the ward
fell in carrying part of the upper sto-
ry down. the shower of sparks and
burning brands that went up made a
spectacle.

CHINESE SITUATION
A VERY GRAVE ONE
Discord Between Republi-
cans Threatens to Wreck
that Party.
(National News Association)

SHANGHAI, Jan. PA demand for
$7.O0O,00O with confiscation as an al
tentative was made upon the Chinese
Steam navigation company by Gen.
Luang Sing. minister of war in the
provisional cabinet. The republican
government needs the money to meet
the campaign which the Manchus
have been trying to launch. The di-
rect0rs of the corporation were given
time to consider the demand.
The situation in China today is dark
er than 1t has been at any other time
since peace negotiations were entered
into. Discord, which has broken out
among the republicans, threatens to
wreck the party. DR.. WI Ting Fang,
attorney general in the republican
cabinet is. preparing today to act upon
the notice he served upon President
Sun Yat Sen to the effect that he
would resign unless President Sun
carried out the agreements which he
made but subsequently repudiated.
The Manchu imperial clan is deter
mined not to abdicate the throne after
revelations that the republican leaders
are at loggerheads among themselves.
With the detection of DR.. WI many
Of the most influential adherents of
the democracy would drop away from
the republican movement. Dissen-
ton among the generals of the revolu-
tionary army is also growing and no
two Of them are now in accord. In
the event of split each general will
probably carry with him the bulk of
troops under his immediate command
30 that the former cohesive republi-
can army will be split up into warning
factors and the war for freedom de-
velop into nothing more than a gueril-
Ia campaign.
Opponents of President Sun, in the
republican party, charge that this ad-
vent was the signal for a reign of in
trigue which has brought about the
present situation. While the president
has a large following among the civil
ians in the anti Manchu movement.
the leaders who were on the ground
at the outbreak of the revolution are
the strongest in military circles and in
the event of an outbreak among them

Seekers after symbolism should make
an attentive study of the lesson sug-
gested by atmospheric effects of the
first act of The Easiest Way" which
David Belasco will present at the
Grand, Davenport, next Wednesday.
The scene, which presents the Belasco
touch in all its details. is laid amid the
rolling foothills and lofty peaks of the
Rockies, and when the play opens the
stage is suffused with the mellow light
of glorious afternoon. But gradually.
as the story is unfolded, the twilight
deepens, the gray of evening swallows
up the golden tints of the afternoon sun
and the curtain goes down amid SOM
Der darkness. which is relieved only by
the cigar ends of the two men who are
at odds for the woman around whom
the play centers. Here is symbolism
indeed, for the light and shadow in
which the act follows its course are
types of the alternating joy and misery
of Laura Murdoch, the erring heroine

FINE GAME PRESERVES
TO CHICAGO SPORTSMEN

Bloomington, Ill, March ia par
ty of Chicagoans headed by H. c. Lyt-
ton have purchased from Chauncey
Powers and his brothers. Thomas and
Frank. the famous Crane lake game
and fishing preserves, located in Ma
son county.
The preserve comprises a tract OF
1,5l5 acres and is located near the MI
nois river opposite Beardstown. The
Powers brothers purchased the tract
in 1889. They erected a comfortable
lodge and have employed competent
game wardens TO look after the prop
erty.
Although the owners have always
been successful in various court pro-
ceedings in dealing with trespassers,
they finally tired of the warfare and
decided to dispose of their holdings
to a Chicago syndicate of sportsmen.
The price paid is not given. but is said
10 have been $4,000.
Crane lake preserve has long been
famed rs duck and goose resort.

vested it furnished food for the birds
t both in the fall and spring.
The Powers brothers, with a party
of friends, spent about three months
of the fall season upon the preserve.
The owners discouraged spring shoot
ing and never molested the birds on
their northern flights. In addition a
portion of Crane lake was reserved for
the feathered tribe and no shooting
was permitted upon that section.
The birds appeared TO recognize the
protective order and what were
