Is in the event of the death of a republi

take hia place. Of course no one hopes
that any such misfortune mav come
upon a republican, as bad as the demo
crats want the house, and when it comes
to dying, a democrat is as likely to die
as any one else.
The republicans are claiming a major

two members from West Virginia. They
may secure one member from West Vir
ginia, but even that is doubtful. The
contest in two of tlte Virginia districts
has vet to be settled in the courts, and
the indications are that the democrats
will get both and thus have a solid dele
gation from the state. They also claim
the Chattanooga district of Tennessee.
The certificate has already been given to
Bates in that district and h<- will take
hia seat in the house when the next con
gress meets. The republicans will prob
ably only have cne ma jority when they

West Virginia they will have three ma

margin will not be large enough to do
them much good if the democrats

ANARCHIST# AND DYNAMITE.
Three Men Killed and Many Severely In
jured at Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 12.—[Special]—Early
this morning a terrible explosion occur
red in Oliver’s oatmeal mill, blowing out
the sides of the budding and setting the
mill on fire. The mill was in operation,
and it is believed three men perished.
They are Charles A. Miller, engineer;
John Smith, millman; and Ernest Cas
par, second mdler. Jchn Holmes,
the second engineer, was blown
into the street, and was injured
verv seriously. The buildings opposite
and in the rear were utterly demolished,
and the family in an adjoining building
escaped almost miraculo isly, the roof of
the house being blown off. The wildest
excitement prevails around the mill
Tons of ruins are pded on the tracks,
and the firemen are playing streams on
the fiery mass Naturally the
lar impression is that the exp!
was the work of the anarchists
but the fire department officers believe
the boiler burst. The pecuniary leas is
175.000.
After the fire was extinguished Mar
shal Gabriel commenced investigation,
and satisfied himself that there were
only three bodies in the ruins—those of
Ernest Caspar, John Christian on and
Charles Miller. Caspar was the cupola
man and worked on the top of the mill.
The cupola was hurled a hundred feet
away, and the body of the victim is in
the ruins. Christianson was kiln man,
and his body is in the southwest
corner of die mills, covered by
tons of debris. Miller was engineer,
and is no doubt buried near the boiler.
Marshal Gabriel has a force of tliirty
men digging in the ruins. The boiler*
have been uncovered, and fo »nd that
they were not exploited, and the causa
of the explosion remains to be discover
ed. The building was < n > hundred feet
by forty, and four stories high.
Later.—But one victim lias been taken
out of the ruins, that was Miller, the en
gineer. Mr. Oliver thinks the disaster
was caused by the explosion of meal
dust.

The other day while Marshal Killing*-
lea and John Park, of Gteentboro, were
driving into the country, they saw a
huge possum scudding across the road
in front of them. The marshal, who is

soon captured the animal,

antly home, and afterward
indolence of our statu quo.
The following, from a naval stand
point. are the principal points which at
tint demand our attention: The survey
and policing of our coasts, a rational
system of defense, the exploration of
the gulf, the organization of our rnercan*
tile navy and the study of the- nautical
art. Only in this our generation has an
immense task to accomplish.
The organization of a territorial or
naval army is in ail times and in all
§ laces a long operation—one of the most
ifficult, ana not possible of realization
in a day. To accomplish it the work
must be vigorously and scientifically
conducted without faltering. In order
to produce this effect we estimate that
we should actually limit ourselves to '.he
following dispositions:
The organization of the Havtien army
can be modified so that each regiment,
with its numerical order, should in fu
ture form a corps of five companies of
one hundred men. These corps will al
ternately and in proper order do garri
son service, the number necessary for
that service being four thousand men,
prrividtd for and equipped upon the
model of European armies. This effect
ive force cannot be exceeded without the
exiitence of trouble in the country ne-
cessi ates it; then the supplementary
force will be the object of a decree from
the chief of state.
The corps not in garrison will furnish
the outpost service as a new regulation
will have provided.
Tbe soldiers doing garrison duty will
apply themselves to military
exercises, but be instructed in letter*!
and topography in the intervals between
exercise. The garrison, which will be
divided among four or five different re
g iom, will constitute itself (as much as
i possible in a special organization) into
workshop and school, so that by work
and education the soldier can accumu
late money and still further develop his
intelligence.
In view of this reorganization the
budget for the land army can approxi
mately be calculated as follows:
Four thousand men at the rate of 200,'
000 piastres annually for each 1,000 men.
or an averago of 200 pisatres for each
man for armament, clothing, boots and
food.
Officers and staff, staff college, twen
clerks who have made preliminary stn
dies to do the duty required of them.
Parades are abolished. The corps in
non-activity or out of garrison will mus
ter at their respective depots the second
Thursday of each month to make ar
rangements for the service of the month
and go through the regimentary exer-
cififls-
A review of the troops will take place
every three months and on national hol
idays at the chief place of the military
conscription.
Our military administration, more op-
J iressive than that formerly instituted
or the colony, answers badly to the de
mands of our political situation. It is
undeniable fact that this regime more
than any other cause contributes to the
decadence of the country.
First—In making military authority
interfere uselessly in purely civil affairs
Second—In making a perpetual con
flict between the representatives of au
"Third—In disorganizing society by
keeping up coteries.
Fou -th—In favoring finally the arbi
trary under governments, whatever form
these governments take.
The actual military regime is dictator
ship in permanence; we will not have
it; tbe nation also no longer admits it for
having been only obliged to submit to it
for so long. Under this regime no wise
or enlightened man can succeed in di
recting the interests of his locality with
out despoiling himself of his dignity, of
the independence of his character.

Sir Barry Blake.
London, Dec. 12.—[Special.]—The peo
ple of Queensland, by their refusal to ac
cept Sir Henry Biake as governor of the
colony, have administered a stunning
blow to imperialism.
Blake, who graduated from the counter
of a Dublin dry goods store as a politi
cian. fortunately for himself, married a
sister of tha lats Bernal Osborne, who
allied to ths military.
By this alliance he secured the patron
age of influential men who contrived to
keep him continually in a lucrative office.
As a resident magistrate in Ireland he
became very unpopular with the people
because of the rigorous manner in which
he enforced the coercion law. The zeal
with which he served the government in
Ireland now rises up to plague him.
It is more than suspected that the op
position to his appointment as governor
of Queensland is inspired and fostered
by the Irish residents of that country.
As the colonists pay the salary of the
governor, which is $25,000 annually, be
sides an establishment and perquisites,
they naturally think that they should
have to.neth *ng to say about the selec
tion. The unionists who have had so
much to say as to the preservation of the
integrity of the empire,” are now sud-
nly threatened with a new view of
disruption. If the colonies will not sup-
places for the impecunious families
!\is country the sentiment now pre
vailing here is that the colonists can set
up a government of their owu and fur
nish their own governors. Queensland,
which was founded in 'SSO, has never
made any piopo-sal of separation from
tl.e British crown, but on the contrary
has sought to strengthen the ties be
tween itself and the mother country. It
objects to receive Sir Henry Elake be
cause he has never governed a parlia
mentary colony.
The attitude of Queensland toward the
governor which the tones had selected
for it h^s shocked English so itty. The
b jiivion of perpetual pensions was bud
enough, but the prospective loss of de
sirable offices in the present is aim lv
intolerable. Sir John Gorst, who had
been tendered the governorship of New
foundland to succeed Sir Henry Blake,
has notified the prime minister that he

come. He sold his pictures at absurdly
low prices and in that way eked out an
existence. But one day he was de
lighted to see a picture that he had

A Newfoundland Plot Discovered.
Ottawa, Dec. 12.—There is some ex
citement in official circles here over the
announcement that a conspiracy has
been frustrated by which it was pro
posed to sell tha colony of Newfound
land to tho Dominion, as in the case of
Nova Scotia. In the last session, when
Mr. La-.trier moved for all correspondence
exchanged between the Dominion and
Newfoundland governments on the ad
mission of that colony to the confedera
tion. Sir Hector Lan 0 evin, on behalf of
the government, said that he hoped this
motion would not be insisted upon, as
public interests would not allow the cor
respondence to be laid before parliament.
The object of refusing thia correspond
ence was not apparent at the time. Ro-
cent developments have, however, solved
the piobleui.
Tha sudden announcement m Septem
ber that tho delegates who were daily
expected '.o arrive from Newfoundland
had abandon -d their visit, took every
one by surprise. The government here
had prepared their case as to the terms
X i which Newfoundland would be
itted to the Union, but further nego
tiations ware suddenly terminated. It
is now learned that tha programme was
arranged to submit tha proposal to the
legislature of th* colony, and ruah it
throrgh without testing the popular
vote. To accomplish this, some skillful
engineering was required, and no one
knew better how to accomplish this
than the man who sold Nova Scotia, Sir
Charles Turper. Some one, however,
squealed before the plans had matured.
An effort will be made to secure a royal
commission to inquire into the manner
in which negotiations have been con
ducted for the forcible annexation of
Newfoundland, and, in event of failure,
the British government will be appealed
to jointly by those who have taken the
matter up in Canada and the loyal New
foundlanders who have had such a nar
row escape.

A Young Olri Wrote bis Speeches.
New Yobk, Deo, 12.—An interesting
suit that is causing much gossip in lega
and political circles at Elizabeth is being
tried in the district court.
A pretty female typewriter has brought
•uit against Lawyer E. Frank Carson, a
republican, for writing all the poli '
speeches the lawyer delivered for his
party during the late campaign on the
stump in South Jersey. The young wo
man’s bill is $24, and she alleges that
Carson made frequent promises to pay
her. but when tne time came to settle
was always short of funds. She got
tired dunning him and determined to
bring the matter to an issue.
Carson, who is an effeminate looking
chap, u badly rattled over the suit,
while the legal fraternity of the city
anticipate lots of fun at the trial.
