the spirit of the contestants would not

the fighting American spirit, then, such
as one might wish to see displayed again

The untimely death of Robert A. Law
renee of Rutland yesterday ends career
which gave promise of being useful be-
cause of the qualities of the man, both
mental and moral. Mr.. Lawrence was a
young man of good mentality and high

of energy which was bringing him to
the front of the young men of Vermont.
He had already served as states attor-
ney for Rutland county and was un-
doubtedly fitted for higher service in

Washington, Nov. 25.-Brigadier General Steever reported to the War Department that General Salazar and his five hundred men are marching steadily on Casas Grandes, apparently undisturbed ty the federal preparation to repulse them.
 Juarez will be the next objective point of the irsurgent commander and he boasts that he can capture that place in p days.
 The right of the American govern ment to arrest and detain Mexican rebels who come on the American side of the border and who are thought to be ready to aid the rebel forces in Mexico will be tested in a habeas corpus suit to be heard at Aus tin, Texas.

The First Explosion.

Waukegan, H., Nov. 25.-The thou sands of employees Of the Corn Products Designing Companys plant Aa1 Just returned from lunch today When the large building known as the Gry starch house, blew up like can of powder. Every man in the build
 ng was killed or injured. Thirteen dead and 26 hurt was he best est mate that could be obtained tonight.
 The explosion destroyed the en- tire $4,000,000 pl mt. 1t shook wind ows n the own. It brought women and Children who followed the fire en- zines as spectators and remained with vail ng W doWs and orplans as the olackened forms of men were snatched from the flaming ruins or collected from rl3ces where they had been blown.
 Several victims were hurled into a cemetery.
 The building destroyed was three stories high and 150 feet square
 It stood at the south end of the great plant. When the men em- ployel in the starch house went to nner there were 75,0O0 pounds of starch II the structure. It was ship ping Jay and the regular force had been doubled to hasten the filling of the box cars that stood on side track. At 1:23 o'clock when the aft ernoon's work was we'll under way every cubic inch of air in the build ing became red. The brick bu lding was fitted into air. Had the starch been dynamite the destruction could have been little mere disastrous to the men inside. Either the starch became overhea ed CT a spark was struck. The dry air ladened with particles of starch is as explosive as gun-T -ToWdew.
 The scene about the blazing de- br S vas one of horror. With clothes aflame men staggered into the air and collapsed.
 Every automobile and cab in Wau- kega1 was pressed into service to | take the injured to hosp tals. Hys- l terica! wives, mothers and children alarmed by the terrific explosion rushed to the scene and it required the efforts of the entire police force 1 of t'he town to keep them back from l the flames.
 Most of the dead and injured are foreigners.
