U. S. ARSENAL BURNS.
sixty Thousand Stands of Arms De-
StrOyed by Fire.

Benecia, Cal, Oct. 19.-The Benecia
arsenal. the governments principal
storehouse for army supplies on the
Pacific coast. was destroyed by hre
last night The loss is estimated aG
between three and four million dollars
Spontaneous combustion, or crossed
electric wires is assigned as the origin
of the fire
Sixty thousand stands of small
arms and 12, 600 900 rounds of alnmuni-
ton were destroyed. Owing to the ex-
plosion of the cartridges. the work
of fighting the fire was extremely
hazardous. The company of so men
stationed at the arsenal manned the
fire-fighting equipment Immediately
after the flames were discovered burst
ing from the windows on the second
floor. Despite the steady explosion of
the huge quantities of ammunition, the
troops approached near enough to the
building to reach it with their streams
of water
Soon, however. the fire was beyond
control. The big three-story stone
structure filled with infammable ma
terial made a spectacular confiagra-
ton that was visible for miles.
The Benecia arsenal was the main
equipping station for both the Pacific
coast and the Orient. The building
was erected in 1859.

Nye's confession was, in brief, that
while a member of the legislature
he accepted thousands of dollars from
agents of corporations and individuals
as compensation for using his vote
and influence to kill or to pass GER
tain legislation. He admitted that
his income from brides alone ran as
high as $4,000 a year.
AS a result of Nye's confession, he
will probably escape the penitentiary
but many others whom he has impli-
Gated face the almost certainty of
having to serve prison terms. The
names of these men have mt yet been
made public, but they will De given
to the grand jury on Wednesday,
when Nye promises a full confession.
Another important result of the
confession will be the filing of suits
of custer in the supreme court by
the state against every corporation
that has been using any part of its
funds in the past for corrupting
members of the Ohio legislature.
These suits will be Instituted after
the trials begin of individuals caught
in the bribery net.

ETHICS OF SUICIDE.

The Japanese are now busily debating the ethics of suicide The case out of which the con troNrrSy has arisen is that of the station master al MOji, who, be- cause of mishap to the Impcr- ial train, which made it ncccs- sary for the emperor to adjourn Tor half an hour lO a waiting room, showed his repentance by throwing himself under the wheels of the express.
 The station masters devotion having evoked wave of popular admiration, which took shane in a proposal lo erect a monument tn his memory, tho nation has been rrbukcd by the president of the kyushu University for thus glnrlfying an act of sclf-dcs(ruc- lion: and Ihc latIcr. finding him self out of tune with public opin- ion. has resigned his position.
 It is a singular thing that among people so cheerful as the Japanese suicide should be so common. Ten thousand destroy themselves every year in Japan, and the figures cannot be said to be diminishing. But hara-kiri. as such, is out of date.
 The modern victims of inc sui cidal mania, when they do not throw themselves in front of train, jump into crater of an active volcano. Asama, in cen tral Japan, and Asosan. in Kyu- shu, have both acquired a sinis- ter reputation in this respect.
 It. is, however, disquieting sign of the times to find the stu dent class resorting so largely to suicidc--cspccially of the spectacular sort, and this, no doubt, is Dr. Yama-Kawa's motive in protesting against the exal- tation of an act which the Chris tian world regards as a grirvous sin.--Pall Mail Gazette.

 MT. Bryan did not undertake to answer these questions. It was not necessary. Every man with intelligence enough to read the newspapers knows what the an- swer to each one of theese ques- tions is. If Col. Roosevelt could have bullied the Republican con- venQon into nominating him, the third party movement would nev- or have been heard of.
 If the "great movement springs from the conscience of the pco- tple," as Col. Roosevelt says it does, in addition to his other de- lusions of megalomania, he must have convinced himself that Inc Is the conscience of tho Amcri- can people.

some days since William Jcn- nings Bryan, in one of his speeches, asked the following questions:
 "Would a now party have been organized at this time if Mr. Roosevelt were not candidate for president?
 Would MT. Roosevelt have fa- vOrcd inc organization of new party had any ono besides him self suffered the modification of defeat at Chicago by President Taft? Would the defeat of Sen alor La Toilette and Senator Cum mins at the hands of tho boss cs' have furnished him with a sufficient reason for leaving the Republican party and enlistinR under inc banner of another man
 Would MT. Roosevelt have re- pardcd the bosses as an insup- crablc objection if he had suc- ccedcd in seating enough of his contesting delegates to give him n majority in the convention?

 They certainly will not go by train, ina:much as the road has been practically closed to traffic for weeks, as note by last Satur- days Alaskan, which says:
 "It has been impossible to get the freight over the railroad for s"mr days past, owing to the r"asclrss heavy rains and con srqurnt wash-nuts, thcrc is a shortage of some supplies al the interior towns.

 If there has been any slide any where on the government trail be- tween this place and Fairbanks the road commission has not been made aware of it.

DONATING NEWSPAPER SPACE.

The Milwaukee Press publish cS the following editorial con cerning the giving away of news paper space, and it just about CO., incideS with the situation in a good many towns and cities be- sides Milwaukee. The Free Press says:
 Advertising publicity is what a newspaper has to sell. It is as much a commodity marked with price as the wares in a dry goods store. Yet thousands of citizens who would not think of asking a citizen to give them so much as a nccktir have no cOm- runctinn in asking that an ad- NrriiSrmcnt be given them hy a newspaper. The thought does not even enter their heads that every inch of space so given, in audi- lion in providing them with lll" most valuable kind of service, ac- fually costs the newspaper in cdi- iorial labor. in composition, ill metal, in ink, in stcrcOtyping, in printing, etc, a very definite sum of money.
 The Free Press, like every Oth- tr Milwaukee paper, is liberal in giving of it's space to further the cause of philanthropic, public and other institutions, enterprises and causes where the object is non- commercial and conducive To the public welfare.
 Tn return it expects only appre- riatiOn--appreciatiOn of the fact that the press is giving it's most rOstly commodity, service so valuable that the beneficiarics rOuld not afford to buy it and without which their institution, enterprise or cause could not eX- jst, a service which is always ,nade at sacrifice to the news columns and at an actual cX- pensc.
 IL expects recognition of the fact that while halls, theaIrrs and other public places, bill posters
 
 and all the other service enlisted in these causes demand cOInpcn- Satinn with but few exceptions, it. k the newspaper that gives it's wares free for inc sake of public good.
 Yet in the vast majority of cases this generous service is hlissfully taken for granted and The papers libcrality abused. That which is purely favor is accepted as matter of course, and what would be requests arc rouched as demands.
 When the courtesy has been performed there is really appre- citation. and more often dissaiis- factiOn--gcncrally silence.
 The result in many other cit i"s has been that a price has been put upon every kind of publicity, no matter what iis objccf--cvcn upon the church notice. In those cities, wc warrant, such favOrs as the press brSiowys arc prop crly valued.

Will be very highly please to
learn that since his release
from prison at Atlanta his
health had SO improved that
he is contemplating a trip to
Europe. ALI his doctors, who
recently predicted his early
demise, say that he is almost
completely recovered. The
pardon Of Mr.. Morse was
brought about largely by the
unremitting efforts of his wife
who used money literally tol
secure signers to petitions in
his behalf, and to create fa-|
vorable sentiment in other
ways. It is intended now toll
get President Taft to remove
the remaining stigma against
the exbanker and have him
restored to full privileges Of
