London. Oct 6. Te three eeks
cabinet crisis has ended In a c. nner
more remarkable and drmmatl than
that of its inception. Mr. B l.our's
new ministry affords a measure of the
enormous dl.Tkulty he has had . to con
tend with in the task of reconstruc
tion, and its composition seems to in
dicate that the premier himself can
have little belief of Its durability. The
most sanguine supporters of the gov
ernment exprers the smallest hopes
of such an administration living many
months, and the prevalent idea is that
there will be a general election before
parliament reassembles.
The Duke of Devonshire, who was
leader of the Conservative party In
the house of lords, it was announced,
has resigned the office of lord presi
dent of the council, and the king has
accepted his resignation.
The new cabinet was also announc
ed. It is composed as follows:
William St. John Brodrick, formerly
secretary for war, succeeds Lord
George Hamilton as secretary for In
dia; Austen Chamberlain postmaster
ge neral, succeeds Mr. Ititchie as chan
cellor of the- exchequer.
Alfred l.yttleten. recorder of Oxford,
succeeds Jrsc ;h Chamberlain as Sec
retary lor tl.e colonies.
II. t). Arnold l-'orster, secretary to
the admiralty, succeeds Mr. Brodrick
us secretary lor war.
Graham Murray, lord advocate of
Scotland, s.m c e oils Lord Balfour, of
Burb igh, as seeretary for Scotland.
l,ord Stanley, financial secretary of
the war office, succeeds Austen Cham
berlain us postmaster general.
One convquenco of the Duke of
Devonshiie's retirement is extremely
unfortunate for the government. It
will bring the leadership of the house
of lords to the unpopular Lord Lans
downe. No successor has yet been ap
pointed to the Duke of Devonshire, and
several minor government offices still
remain vacant.
BATTLE MAY START WAR
Fierce Fight Between Turkish and
Bulgarian Troops Reported.
Sofia, llulgaria, Oct. 5. Serious
news has been received here from the
frontier of righting between Turkish
and Ilulgnrian troops at Demir-Kapia,
both sides sustaining heavy losses. '
In official quarters all knowledge of
the affair is denied, but the circum
stantial details given seem to Indicate
that there is some foundation for the
accounts of the conflict According
to one report, the Turks attacked the
Bulgarian frontier post. Another ver
sion says tho Turks pursued a number
of refugees across the frontier.
It Is asserted that the Turks hare
frequently attempted to provoke hos
tilities, firing Into Bulgarian territory
and crossing the frontier to steal
horses and sheep. The war office
here is working at high pressure, aad
24,000 re -ults will be called out three
months before the usual time. Prince
Ferdinand has sanctioned numerous
other measures of a warlike nature.
All the cavalry with the exception of
a single regiment which is stationed
at Soda has been sent into tho fron
tier districts, where are also strong
forces of artillery. Vigorous efforts
are being made to pn vent bands from
crossing into Turkish territory.

HOSIERY MILL BLOWN UP
Boiler Expletion at Beverly, N.
Wrecks Plant and Kills Watchman.
Rererly. N. J.. Oct. 6. The large
boiler In the hosiery mill of Turner
Blrkhead. of this city, exploded with
a fearful crash that jarred Beverly,
wrecked the engine room and two
thirds of the main building and in
stantly killed Alfred Stucky.the watch
man. The building Immediately he
came enveloped In flames, and damage
to the extent of $10,000 was done before
the fire was gotten under control. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
The crash of the exploding boiler
was heard and felt within a radius of
five miles, and fearful of an earth
quake people rushed to their doors.
In this city the buildings shook, glass
and dishes rat tied, and it was not until
a bright flame shot up in the west that
those who were awakened by the
shock realized the situation.
The city fire department soon had a
plug stream on the burning structure,
and after an hour's work the flames
were subdued. Meanwhile the body of
Stucky, which had been blown several
feet from the building by the force of
the explosion, was removed to h.s
home. The body was badly torn, the
clothing rent Into Bhreds, and death
must have come quickly.
What caused the explosion la not
known, since the boiler was recently
Inspected and pronounced In good con

who was an old man, turned sold water

Refused to Leave White House and
Was Arretted.
BADLY INJURED IN STRUGGLE
Washington. Oct C. A desperate
hand-to-hand encounter with an arm
ed insane man who was determined
to see President Roosevelt occurred
In the vestibule of the White House.
The man, who gave his name as Peter
Elliott, a machinist, of Minneapolis,
Minn., was overpowered by the offi
cers and carried to a police van.
which had been summoned. He was
placed in the van in the custody of
two officers. Seeming to realize then
for the first time that he was under
arrest. Klliott began a furious strug
gle with his cantors for liberty. He
drew a revolver from the risht side'
pocket of his trousers and attempted
to shexjit Oltiecr James Cissell. Thei
officer grabbed his hand and wrench-'
ed the weapon from his grasp. Elii-j
tt's Ftruggles v.cre so fierce, how-j
ever, that the two officers in their j
cramped quarters of the van wer ii:i- :
able to overcome him. Officer Ciss '11 ,
the n drew bis re velver and tired two
shots to attract attention. I
In the siru:;
.he p-
van Klliott had broken a glass panvl ,
with his hand, severely cutting his
head and face. Officer Cissell bus-'
tained a serious cut on his right iin.i,
two Inches of llesh being cut out of
tho fleshy part of the arm. Ho suf-,
fered considerably from loss of blood,'
but his Injury is not serious. The van
was hurried to the Emergency Hos
pital, where the Injuries of Cissell and
Klliott were dressed.
Several days ago Secretary Locb re-,
celved n letter written on letter paper j
of the St. James1 Hotel, this city. Tho
letter enclosed a photograph of Elliott
and an incoherent request for an inter- j
view with President Roosevelt. The;
letter was Blgned "Peter Ell," the'
statement being mado immediately;
tinder the signature that the writer,
waa registered at the hotel as Peter;
Elliott. It waa evident to Secretary j
Iioeb that his correspondent was in-;
sane, and he issued directions at once
that the officers on duty both at the
White House and at the executive of-1
flees should be on their guard against
him. The photograph was turned overj
to the secret service officers. )
Nothing was seen of the man until
the president attended services atj
Grace Reformed Church, when Elliott
appeared near the entrance to the1
church and made an effort to speak to
the president, but he was foiled in his'
endeavor by the secret service officers. !
He next appeared at the executive of-!
flees and was turned away.
At the Emergency Hospital, where
his wounds were dressed, Elliott said
That he was a Swede and that his home '
was In Minneapolis. From the hospital
the man waa taken to the First Pre
cinct police station and incarcerated
In one of the detention wards.
The police surgeons, after a careful
examination of Elliott, certified that
he was Insane. An order was issued
immediately for his removal to the
St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane.!
Elliott said he ccme to Washington'
from Paterson, N. .1. He also said he :
had been in Lancaster, Pa. When
locked up at the police station he made
a long, rambling statement as to tho
reasons for his action.

IT was remarkable that the entrance

There could bo no question as to the
Immediate popularity acquired by the
Texan. Each person iu the crowd or
dered the most expensive drink of
which he could think, and when the
titratiger followed up hia first liberali
ty by inviting his guests to renew liba
tions at his expense the enthusiasm
knew no bounds.
The only exception to Punts' admir
ers was Lumpy, a gambler, one of tho
local "bad' men sitting at the same
table', who, lifter having obtained mo
mentary favor by the purchase of one
"drink around," now found himself
forgotten before th- prodigal hospital-
It v of lite lipwi'Oinpr I
The stranger ordered n third glass of
whisky for himself, and then, ns if in
cidentally, bade the barkeeper till all
the glasses, whereby a sensation was
caused. Immediately after the glas.c
of whisky bad been set for him Bunts
reached his baud into a ccmttail pocket
and produced therefrom a dog, which
he placed with mingled fondness unci
pride upon the table before him.
This aninnil v!is one of the 'snir.U.
hairless Mexican breed, u sort strange
to most of those present, and strong,
curiosity was it once excited. Where'-1

Whereupon all Maysville chorused
approbation of the Mexican hnlrlc:
dog, uml became lost iu raptures over
the Texan's Inamorata.
I'.uuts pushed his glass of whisky i:t
front of Rickets nnd the dog proceeded
to lap up the fiery spirits.
"Ain't '.' Intelligent? Well, some."
his owner remnVked Complacently.
Then he continued, "An" now, bur
keeper, set ein up ng'lii uu' we'll drin.:

P.ut Lumpy, mado dangerous by
drink, exclaimed loudly:
"I doii'i drink with no pup! An',
what's more, I won't have lio cur liU
that sittin' at table with me."
As Lumpy ended, a change In Run's'
face warned him and he mado a swift
movement toward his hip. Rut the
Stranger was quicker.
"Throw up yer 'auds!" said Runts,
and Lumpy Instantly obeyed. Then
the Texan gave him a homily.
"l'e've insulted me an' also the wo
man as gave me the pup, an' also the
dawg. I oughter shoot ye, I don't
like ycr face. But I'll give ye yer
worthless life If ye'll ax me parding.

Texan laid the two revolvers ou tie

Then he addressed the company:
"That dawg aUya' right there, ye

Outside Lumpy relieved bis fecit::;?
by some guttural oaths and set out fer :

Scratches grinned evilly atul put out

ed Ids appreciation by a snort nnd a
snap that brought a bowl of pain from
Scratches.
"Playful, ain't he':" Runts exclaimed
and roared with laughter. Scratches
Scowled, but controlled himself after a
moment and tried to smile.
But the Kid speedily ingratiated him
self with both Runts and Rickets, put
ting the dog without hurt, to his mas
ter's delight.
Interest in the stranger was now
waning. Some of the men left the sa
loon and in the course of bnlf an hour
Scratches was able to possess himself
of the third chair. At this juncture
the Kid Insisted that the stranger
should drink at bis expense.
"Three!" he called to tho barkeeper.
In a moment the drinks were ou the
tabic. The Kid sei.ed one glass und
passed It to Runts.
"There's yer liquor!" he cried cor
dially. "I.riuk hearty."
P.ut the devoted Runts could not for
get his duty to'Itickets. He uVlayed a
moment to set his glass before the doj;.
"Take a pull, Rickets," he urged.
The swaying dog picked up his ears
at the smell of the spirits and dropped
hia nose into the glass. His greedy
tongue darted once Into the whisky
and was withdrawn into bis mouth.
Once and only once that Lisle was
enough. Rickets stopped swaying, up.it
his eyes opened wide. Then he tuiT.i'w
and stared reproachfully ut Hunts and
whined.'
"Now, that's the most curi's thing 1
ever seed!" the Texan exclaimed.
"Never knew Tin to turn up 'is nose
before at good liquor. He's nick, that's
.what."
There was a minute's slli'iiee, while
Runts sat eying the dog solicitously.
Then suddenly un idea ciiino to him.
and lie laughed pleasantly. The next
instant bis hands fell on the revolvers,
und In a trice both men were covered.
'Tut up yer 'unds!" he cried for the
second time that night.
The crowd, startled, looked up and
saw Scratches and the Kiel, their hands
uloft, staring fearfully Into the deadly
tubes. Then Runts, now almost sober
under the stimulus of his Idea, ad
dressed th two:
"Ye're a nice pair of galoots! Strolled
in 'ere with the plan of doslu' me with
knockout drops an' then walkln' out
with mo hii' then golu' through me!
Eh? Huh! Well, I guess ye'd 'a' work
ed It If It hadn't been for Rickets, bless
'la little heart! I didn't tumble to yer
skin game, au I'd 'a' swallowed yer
dojR', but Rickets ain't no such fool!
One taste of them knockout drops was
enough fcr "lm."
Rut .Serutehcd had regained his nerve
and now burst forth In protestations.
"It's a lie! There ain't no knockout
drops In that whisky of yers. I swear
It."
"Re ye sure?" questioned Runts Bur
castlcally. "It's gospel truth I'm telliu' ye."
"Well," Runts retorted, "I'll believe
tho dawg quicker 'n I'll believe auy
ugly faced horse thief sech as ye be.
Rut I'll give ye a chance to prove yer
words, blast ye! Take yer right 'and
down sb)W to this glass of mine nu'

The:i as Scratches made no' move
ment t'j obey he exclaimed sharply:
"Do as I say or I'll put a bullet
through ye! Drink that whisky, a;i' if
ye spill n drop I'll bore ye. Hurry!"
Scratches' face grew white, but he
had no choice. Slowly be lowered one
hand; more slowly still he rui.iccl the
glass to his lips. There once uguln he
hesitated until Runts' command came
harshly:
"Drink!"
At one gulp Scratches swallowed the
draft.
"Now let me go," he said meekly.
"Ye see It ain't hurt me none."
"Ye Jlst sit right there an' keep yer
