Plans have been drawn up for an electric railway from Le Fayet. about 12 miles from Chamounix, to the sum mit of Mont. Blanc. The first section to be constructed is to include in its stations the Montivon, the Col de Voza, Mount I.achat, I-.es Rognes and Tete Rousse, the provisional terminus be ing l'Aiguillo du Gouter, at 12,500 feet above the mean level of the sea. Later the line is to be prolonged to the summit, 15,780 feet above the sea level. Yale's oldest graduate in years in Chicago is Sherman M. Booth. Ho entered Yale as a sophomore in 183S and was graduated in 1811. He is now 1)2 years old. Of the graduates who left Yale with Mr. Booth in 1841 sev eral are living. One of these is Donald G. Mitchell, the "Ik Marvel" of liter ature. The Rev. Newton Barrett, of Chicago, although younger than Mr. Booth by three years, was graduated from Yale five years earlier —that is, in 1836. John 11. Heaton, M. P., who has re turned to London from Italy, whither he accompanied Signor Marconi, says he saw at an observatory near Rome specimens of a new system of electric photography, by which clear pictures ran be obtained of persons and scenes 20 miles distant.

IN LUZON THEN AND NOW. Testimony That Set* at \an«ht the Inflammatory Talk About "The llunn-Trotltlcn Filipino." In a recent issue the Independent published a letter from a Filipino who, the editor vouches, was former ly an insurgent against Spain and the United States. It is an interesting comparison of what the writer was able "to do, to say, and to think," under Spanish and American rule, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. It is too long for extended quotation and its specifications under each of its three heads must be summarized. "I could do," he says of the Span ish regime, "many things, but all centered in the ability to attend mass where I wished." If he neglected such attendance, he asserts, he was liable to be denounced as an enemy of religion and the state and to be bundled away to Fernando I'o. Sim ilarly he could not speak save in praise of those in authority, for it was a sin even to think that the gov ernment or any of its agents robbed : and oppressed. Then he gives specifications of what 1 he could do, say, and think now un- j der American rule. They are inter- | esting illustrations of the reality of freedom in the Philippines, but it is j unnecessary to summarize them, for | this Filipino has done, that himself ; in his general conclusion. "To-day," he says,"l can think, j speak and believe what I please. I j can speak of religion in the way that seems best to me, respecting the i religion of all. Of course, I am not , permitted, for instance, to steal. '■ Neither can I be robbed in the name ; of the government. I can defend my j rights even against the American in , the highest post and lie sure of jus tice. I can work for the future of, my country and enter polities. I I can labor for annexation, for a pro- I gressive autonomy, or for a free , 'fatherland' of my ow.n. I can ask ! no more than this." Such testimony as this will not be j pleasing 10 those who are always : talking about "the downtrodden T'ili- i pino," but the picture it presents, the comparisons it draws, between con- ; ditions in Luzon before Dewey came and now will thoroughly justify to every fair-minded American the righteousness of his country's work in the Philippines. WHEN FAT YEARS WILL END. Will I.nmt IIN Long ■> Condition* Bust-il I'pon Present Proi pertly Continue. The question has been asked: "When will our fat years end?" Judging from the past, they may Vie counted to end when the conditions upon which prosperity is based shall be injured. The greatest support of the present prosperity is the full em ployment of all the people in the country who must live upon what they earn. Anything which curtails this full employment will react upon the present prosperity, says the In dianapolis Journal. Of that there cannot be room for tiie least doubt. It is the great volume of wages and salaries earned not atone by manual laborers, but by workers for hire in every branch of human industry, that fills the channels of trade. When these millions are fully em ployed at fair wages the country will enjoy fat years. Any attempt to mod ify the tariff system along other lines than protection as the first ob ject, and particularly an attempt to adopt a tariff for revenue only, would create suspicion and make manufac turers timid, w.hile any change in the tariff that would transfer a por tion of our markets to European competitors would transfer with it j so much employment, leaving idle men behind. Anything like the suc cess of a free trade party would end the fat days. The multiplicity of strikes, when 1 they reach a stage that they make ! it impossible for manufacturers and 1 employers to make estimates on the i cost of production, will help to pro duce conditions that will invite lean i days. Labor was never so well paid as now, lint because it is well paid it should not be assumed that under the influence of prosperity there can lie no limit to the atuount of money that can be paid for labor. Men clothed with a little brief authority In a labor organization, like the ex alted official who spoke lightly of callinir to a strike the 200,000 men employed in the steel industry, are a menace to the indefinite extension j of the period of prosperity.

One of thr Weakeurt Krada (he De mocracy linn in View for lta .Nation*! I Ticket. In Virginia, at least, Senator Gor man is. a favorite for the democratic nomination for 1904. The members of the legislature of that state who have been polled on the question of their preference for the nomination of their party for next year are all in favor of •the Maryland man except three, and their preferences are not stated, if the Old' Dominion had as much influ ence now as she exerted at one time in politics, Gorman's nomination in 1904 would, be assured. Butthat state has no such pull now as it once had, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Undoubtedly Gorman w ill have some attraction for a few democrats. He is a shrewd party manager. Under his lead the democrats in the senate are likely to steer clear of some of the blunders that they would drop into if he were away. There was general re joicing among democrats, especially through the south, when German re entered the senate this year, it was assumed, at once that he would lie placed in the lead, as lie was immedi ately. The democrats in that cham ber had been committing so many ab surdities and follies tlia-t it was natur ally felt that any sort of a change of leadership would be better than that which had been afflict i"ng the demo crats for a few years past. Hut Gorman wil never suit the demo crats of New York or New .Jersey. He would be utterly repudiated by the democrats of the west. Bryan hates Gorman worse than he does Hill, ex cept as he believes Bill to be stronger than Gorman, and thus better game for his gun. Gorman would lose even Missouri, and he would have no chance to carry Montana or Nevada. Kvery state west of the Alleghanies andi north of Kentucky, Arkansas and Tex as would go against him. He would probably be able to carry Maryland, although this is far from being cer tain. Outside of the states which con stitute the revised and reduced solid south he would be badly beaten. Gor man. in 1004. could not get anywhere so near election as Bryan did in 1000. The republican party would be glad to see Virginia have its way in the selection of a democratic candidate for 1904. The republicans can win as against any man whom the democrats tpin put up. but Gorman would lie one of the weakest of the democratic as pirants who are in sight. THE TARIFF AN ISSUE. W ill He W efleoine il by (lie firpulillcnm Parity as a Principle in (lie Ga uipnlßn. The western republicans who thought that the time was ripe for letting down the protection of the ; tariff have seen a light, and have concluded that the tariff policy of i the republican party has been a pret ty good one and is entitled to fur ] tiier continuance. Representative I Tawney, of Minnesota, one of the re j publican members of the house eoni j mitt.ee on ways and means, had been disposed to favor early revision of j the tariff. He has just returned to i Washington from a visit of several weeks in the west, and he is now con vinced that the time has not arrived for the lowering of tariff duties, says the Troy Times. The republican party is becoming thoroughly united in the belief that it is inexpedient to change the tariff system at the present time. The democratic party, always the party of negation, seems disposed to take up this tariff issue again, in spite of the fact that it has been beaten on this question so often and so severe ly. The republican party welcomes the issue for the campaign of 1004, and believes that those who are re i joieing iu the grand results of pro | tection and prosperity will again j give their allegiance to the policies j through which the republican party has made the United States the fore- I most nation in productive capacity j and industrial supremacy on the face of the earth. Incivility of Ilryiin. As Mr. Bryan realizes that ther is I no longer a prospect that he can be- I come president of the I'nited States. | lie develops a disposition to assail his j betters in the democratic party. Most of his public utterances of late have 1 been abusive of democrats question ing their motives, impugning their | honesty and denying their word. So j long as lie cherished the idea that he could reach the white house lie was reasonably circumspect in his treat ment of democrats who did not agree with iiiin iu all (hiitgs. When that hope was extinguished lie became studiously offensive. Many years ago, when Allen G. Thurmiin, a great jer and better democrat than Mr. Bryan can ever expect to be, was asked to give young men a rule of conduct which would promote sue cesk iu business and political life, he replied: "Keep a civil tongue in your head."

Per mitted to Vote. Vienna, May 22.—The revolt in Croatia is spreading to every part of the kingdom and threatens to extend to Dalnmtia. The celebration at A pram on Wednesday of the anniver sary of the death of Jellaeihich Von iiuziin, the former ban of Croatia, culminated in a fierce conflict with the police, who attacked tlie crowds with sabres, wounding many persona and making 330 arrests, including several students and women. The city of Agrani is now completely un der military rule. The principal streets are closed by cordons of troops. Four regiments, fully equipped for war. have been ordered to proceed to the A grain district. At Buccari and Meja thousands of peasants attempted to destroy the railroad in order to prevent the arri val of troops. They tore up the rails at five different points and when the military arrived Hie peasants pelted them with stones, injuring several soldiers. The troops retaliated by shooting and bayoneting many of the peasants. The Slavs resident in various parts of Austria and Bohemia are hold ing indignation meetings to protest against the proceedings in Croatia, where over 2,000 persons have already been imprisoned. In Dalmatia important demonstra tions have been planned for May 24, when protest meetings will be held in 20 different places. The disturbances iu Croatia are pri marily due to the long standing race hatred between the Slavs and the Magyars. The present outbreak lias two main sources. First, the general discon tent of the peasantry arising from the extreme poverty prevailing everywhere, and from the fact that in some parts of the country the peasants are on the verge of famine. Second, tin; indignation aroused by the alleged tyrannical rule of Count Khtten Hedervary, the present ban of Croatia. The Croatians attribute much of their poverty to the financial meth ods of the Hungarian government, which is accused of drawing from Croatia money in excess of its legal proportion of the taxes, in spite of the protests of the inhabitants. Con sequently throughout Croatia there is increasing hatred of Hungarian rule and language. The recent at tempt made to introduce the Mag yar language in Croatia has especially aroused popular indignation. The Hungarian-Croation ausgleieli of isf>B provided that Croatian should lie the official language of Croatia in all af fairs with Hungary, but now the Hungarian government is placing the Hungarian coat of arms on the Croa tian railroad stations, official build ings, letter boxes ami elsewhere, thereby occasioning riots at Agram and other towns, as since the riots of 1883 the combined Hungarian and Croatian emblems had been used up to the present- As evidence of official tyranny the Croatians point out that there is ab solutely no liberty of the press. Scarcely a day has passed for many years without opposition newspapers being confiscated and latterly they were all suppressed. The people have not the right to hold public meetings, not even at election time, and the government is accused of ab solutely controlling the elections. In support of this accusation it is point ed out that in spite of the anti-Hun garian sentiment throughout the country 54 of the ss deputies in the Croatian diet are supporters of Hun gary. Only 3 per cent, of the popu lation is allowed to vote and many opposition voters and even opposition candidates have been imprisoned on the eve of election day. The Croa tians. in brief, enjoy absolutely no rights of citizenship. The present- agitation covers the entire country from Kssegg. in the east, to the districts on the Adriatic coast, its immediate cause varying ac cording to the different localities. In the districts around Kreutz the disturbances have a socialistic origin, the peasants attacking the Hungar ians not on account of their national ity. but because they are wealthy. Count Khuen Hedervary. who has been ban of Croatia for 20 years, is the object of special detestation on the part of the Croatians. Although he was born ia Croatia ami educated at the Cniversitv of Agram. the ban is intensely Hungarian and he is re garded by the people as being a proud aristocrat, seeking only per sonal power regardless of the wel fare of the country.

A few minutes later the train entered the station amid the cheering of an immense crowd, the din of steam whistles and the playing of bands. A section of the parade that at tracted great attention was a human flag, composed of 400 school girls, who had been drilled for weeks.

London, May 18.—Mrs. Gunning S. Bedford, who was arrested by detec tives from Scotland Yard at Queens town on Saturday upon the arrival of the Cunard line steamer Cmbria, upon which vessel she, her baby and a maid were saloon passengers, will be charged in Bow Street police court today with making a false declaration of birth. Mrs. Bedford's husband, who lived in London, died recently in Paris, leaving property es timated to be worth $500,000 to his wife and child. Relatives who are contesting the will allege that Mrs. Bedford had no children and that she procured a child, pretended it was hers and deceived her husband for the purpose of securing his en tire property. It. is alleged that on December 18, 1902, Mrs. Bedford, representing her self as the infant's aunt, registered the birth of the child. Eugenie, as having occurred in London on Decem ber 17. Two months later Mrs. Bed ford is said to have, gone to the United States to claim the money. Having failed in this she was on her way to Paris to prosecute further the child's claim.

The Dead are Mashed Almost Beyond Recognition. A STEEL CABLE SNA IT ED. Elevator Foil Four Stories and the 13 People Therein Were Jammed I'nder Twisted Steel und llroken Timbers —Huge Weight* Fell on Them. Pittsburg, May 2D. —One man and three women were killed and five or six injured last, night at 103G Fifth avenue, a building 1 occupied by a dancing aeademy. The cause of Ihe fatalities was the snapping of Hie elevator ropes, allowing the cage to drop 50 feet. The dead are so badly smashed that identification was impossible up to midnight. The only one whose name may be correct is Catherine Curt in. On her body was found a railroad ticket with the name 011 it.. Among the injured are: Harry Lipson, aged 22, bruised all over body and hurt internally. Miss Kate Flanigan, 27, bruised all ovc.r the body and Buffering from shock. Albert Myers, 20, fractured leg. Mrs. Lulu Postlewaite, scalp wound and body bruised. A banquet and ball was being held in the building by the Pennsylvania Electro-Meclianieal institute. and every available portion of the fifth and sixth floors was crowded I >y members of the institute and their friends. At about 10 o'clock the elevator with a load of 13 passengers started for the banquet room on the sixth floor. When that floor was reached it, was found that every place was crowded and the passengers decided togo to the fifth floor, where the dancing was in progress. When be tween the sixth and fifth floors the steel cable snapped and with a re sounding crash that was heard blocks away the cage dropped with its load of human freight. It smashed through the floor above the cellar of the building and was stopped by a braced post of wood, three feet below the first floor, fn this inaccessible position the passen gers were jammed under broken tim bers and twisted steel, yet none might have been killed had not the heavy iron balance weights, weigh ing over a ton. come crashing down upon them. Miraculously all but four were able to scramble out. The others were pinioned under heavy weights. Four were mashed almost 1 >evond recognition. Albert Myers was held a prisoner mor more than an hour. While fire men and volunteer rescuers were pre paring riggings to lift the machine so as to be accessible, he lay pinioned under the wreckage. Whisky and water were passed to him, with words of encouragement. A fireman endangered his life by dropping into the mass of wreckage and holding the injured man's head. "Heavens, it.was hot down there." was the brave man's first words spoken while being carried from his prison to a. hospital ambulance. That more peo ple were not killed is a miracle. The wreck of the elevator was complete. It required dozens of firemen to ac complish the work of securing the bodies. When the accident occurred more than 400 men, women and children were on the dancing floor. As the elevator struck the bottom a cloud of dust blew into the room from the open elevator door. Quickly Harry (iilsoii closed the entrance and cried, "Take your partners for a two-step." Scores of policemen were present and ordered all persons in the build ing to remain quiet. In this way the people were allowed to pass from the building by relays, avoiding a panic that might have resulted in many more fatalities. The opinion prevails that the ele vator was overcrowded and Superin tendent of Police McTighe ordered the arrest of Prof. L, X. Oiles. a me chanical engineer and instructor of the Pennsylvania Kleotro-Mechanical institute. At the time of the accident he was running the elevator. It is alleged that he allowed the elevator to be overcrowded and that he had no ex perience in running an elevator and was partly responsible for the acci dent. Col. Amnion I* ItonrreMed.
