to the highest point yet, this season

Oats a up largely as a result of
assertions that virtually no responses

liberal purchases were ignored.
Provisions lacked support. The
market rallied a little, however, when
grain turned strong.

Complete TabuIation Of losses In
Great War Uver the Sea
4, AL, 200 HAVE LEN KILLED
Allies Casualties Nearly Double the
Number Incurred in Armies Of
the Central Powers.

Washington, March 12.-More than
wounded, captured or missing in the
European war in the first complete
tabulation of official and authenticat-
ed semioiiicial reports of the various
belligerents received here. Among
the military proper. 4,44l,200 are re-
ported dead. 2.59S,5O0 wounded and
1854, 500 captured and missing.
Among civilians. especially on the
Russian and Balkan fronts and in
Armenia another 100000 are figured
as either dead or wounded
The entente's losses are given as
6,31S,400, as against 3,3S4,S00 for the
central empires. One reason for the
great discrepancy between the two is
believed to be the relative unpre-
paredness of the entente, the disas-
trous retreats in France at the be-
ginning of the war, in Russia from the
MaZurian lakes and the Carpathians
and in Rumania.
The entente's dead total 2,S90,400.
against 1,550,S00 for the central en-
pires; the entente's wounded total
1876, 800 against $4,000 for their en-
emies and their captured and miss
ing 1,652,500. against $4,000 for the
central empires. These losses are
based upon the assumption that in
Germany 80 per cent of the total
wounded return to the front and so
per cent in all the other countries.

NEW YORK CITIES
WILL. NOT HAVE
LOCAL OPTION
Senate Committee Says Measure
viii MOI Be Passed
MORE TAXES ON SALOONS
Brown Bill Expected to Increase In
come and Decrease Number of
Dealers.

Albany, March 12.-The State SEN
ate committee on taxation and re-
trenchment tonight practically in
formed Gov. Whitman that the senate
would refuse to pass either the gov
ernor's favorite local option for cities
bill or the Anti-Saloon Leagues still
more drastic Statewide prohibition
measure. 1t was considered to be the
most remarkable statement ever is
sued by a legislative committee, in
which the liquor interests of the State
are upheld because of the $50,000,-
600 a year annually contributed for
State and Federal taxes.
At the last hearing on the Hill
Wheeler bill, amended to give rs per
cent. of the enrolled voters of every
city of the state the right to petition
their local election officials to give the
voters in generaI an opportunity to
vote at the general election next fall
on the question of maintaining or
abolishing the saloon, Gov. Whitman
emphatically repudiated criticism that
the legislature was "the bodyguard of
the liquor traffic" The governor has
insisted from the outset that the vo-
ters of the cities should have the right
now possessed by the residents of
the towns to decide for themselves
whethed the saloon should stay or
go.
The challenge to Gov. Whitman in
dicates breach between the execu-
tive and the republican legislative
leaders, which may assume serious
proportions. The advocates of the
Hill-Wheeler bill up are in arms.
They are reminding the governor that
every city of the state was represent
ed by its delegation Of business men
and others at the last hearing, de-
manding not the absolute overthrow
of the liquor traffic in the state, but
the right to have their localities de-
termine, once and for all, by their
votes, whether it should or should
not continue in their midst.
In the statement made public to-
night, signed by Senator James A.
Emerson of Warren, chairman of the
taxation and retrenchment commit
tee, no secret is made of the inten-
ton of the republican leaders of the
senate to pass the Brown bill, which
would increase the liquor taxes of the
state s4.000,000 year and decrease
the number of saloons in third class
cities and towns by 5000 and throw
the local option and the statewide
prohibition bills into the discard.

Army Rifles Of Europe.

The German Mauser can fire faster
than any other rife used by the armies
of Europe. The magazine holds hve
cartridges, packed in chargers.
The British rifle is the outcome OF
the South African war. 1t holds ten

The Russian rifle is seven Inches
longer than the British. 1t is capable
of firing twenty-four bullets to the min

GAS VICTIMS IMPROVING
No More Fatalities Result from Acct.
dent at Wilmington.

The five men who were overcome
by gas fumes at the time three others
lost their lives at the Noun
tain Mills pulp mill. last Friday,
are recovering although for a time
the condition of one was doubtful.
The fatality, which 1t is stated oc-
Cured during demonstration and
not an experiment, caused sensation
throughout the town. The cause of
it has not been fully explained.
1t appears that the Il. |. du Pont de
Nemours Powder Co. of Wilmington
Del, having received permission from
the Deerfeld Pulp Co. at the powder
companys solicitation, sent its chem
list, Dr. w l.. Jeffers. to Mountain
Mills. two miles from this village, to
demonstrate a new by-product called
nitrecake as substitute for saltcake.
which has been used heretofore at the
mill in the bleaching of pulpwood. 1t
was claimed that the new product
would do away with the odor arising
from the use of saltcake and would
give perfect satisfaction.
In the cause of this demonstration
hydrogen-sulphite gas was created.
This gas is said to be not unpleasant
and works very insidiously, finally pro
ducing fatal results with apparent
quickness. This must have been
known to DR.. Jeffers which makes the
possibility of such an accident as hap.
pened here yesterday all the more
strange.
DR. Jeffers was standing near the
vat when he was seen to reel and
fall to the floor. Donald Cook and
Newton Carpenter went to his assist
ance and both were overcome. AL
three died in a very brief time. The
| five others in the room were over
come when they went to help theil
fellow workmen, but they were drag
eed by others to places OF safety. DR.
A. II. Wright of Wilmington reached

worked over them more than tw,
hours.
The body of DR.. Jeffers was sent t,
his home in South Carolina Saturda,

THE NEW CONGRESS
Democrats and Republicans Both
uaus u Hope to Control.

Washington, March 9.--Optimistic
forecasts Of the control OF the next
House came quickly from democratic
and republican leaders tonight when
they heard of the Presidents call for
an extra session of Congress April 16.
Many unbiased observers, however,
foresee only long and bitter organ
ization fight unless coalition agree
ment prevents.
Both Speaker Clark and Representa-
tive Woods of Iowa, chairman of the
republican congressional committee.
predicted victory for their respective
parties. Each said his party was av-
sured OF at least Is votes and that this
probably would be its minimum
strength.
The official standing of the incom-
ing House is as follows:
Republicans, 215; democrats, 214;
prohibitionist /; progressive, l pro-
neutrality-suspicious., /; socialist, l.;
independent, l. vacant l.
The vacancy exists in the 18th New
York district, which is overwhelming
ly democratic. Under the New York
the extra session begins if special
election is called before next Friday.
Ii has been generally believed Cover
nor Whitman would call the election
which would make virtually certain a
tie at 215 between the democratic
and republican memberships on open
ing day of the session. Then the win
ming side would have to gain the
votes of three of the five so-called in
dependents in order to have a majori.
ty
Republican leaders are worried over
the Illness of three of their members
and the statement of a fourth, Repre-
sentative Heintz, of Ohio, that he does
not favor Representative Mann for
speaker. representatives Hill OF
Connecticut, Sulloway of New Hamp
shire, and Graham of Pennsylvania
are i'll. Though their condition is not
that Representative Hill and Sullo
way may not be on their feet again
for some time.
All of the newly elected democratic
and republican members probably
will be summoned here for caucuses a
week or ten days before Congress is
reconvened. Democrats are assured
that all of their members will caucus
but several former progressives now
enrolled as republicans, it is under
stood, will decline to be bound by
caucus rules.
Some members of both hof the ole
parties would not be surprised to Sc,
coalition agreement entered intt
before April 16 and the slate carried
| through with rush before the end o
| the first day. Success of the bi-parti
san proposal will depend in a grea
measure on the international situation
five weeks hence and gaps which ma!
be caused in the ranks of the big par
ties by illness or death. Neither sid,
