Much has been done there within a
year, and much more is promised, due
to the force of example and the per
suasion of the officers. Drastic laws
are not enforced against the owners of
offending chimneys, but boiler own-
ers are taught the economy of modern
better-burning furnaces and smoke-
consumers, while their pride in a clean
city is aroused. One evidence of
progress is the introduction within
the year of over 150 smokeless fur-
naces. The best results are obtained
from the use of hard coal and coke.
‘While endeavoring to correct the
methods of the furnace owners, the
city has been a sinner itself, but it is
about to set a good example by using
‘smokeless coal at the city hall, the
police stations and the workhouse.

He Had Evidently Beea Stunned by Explosion

Hutchinson, Kan., (Special).—The
safe of the Missouri Pacific Railroad
depot here was blown by robbers.
Afterward a man believed to have
been one of the robbers, was found dead
with a bullet hole through his heart.
The supposition is that the dead man
was stunned by the explosion, which
was very heavy, and the others, thinking
he was too badly crippled to get away
shot him. An identification card bear-
ing the name of Charles M. Kinney, was
found on the dead man. The card was

mdy De anotl ance of that creduli-
ty with which Wave often been charged
by European critics when I say that I
believe the world has moved onward in
diplomacy, as in many other matters.
“I can say without hesitation that we
have generally told squarely what we
wanted, announced early in negotiation
what we were willing to give and allowed
the other side to accept or reject our
terms. During the time in which I have
been prominently concerned in our for-
eign relations I can also say that we
have been met by the representatives of
other powers in the same spirit of frank-
ness and sincerity.”

R. A. Grimsby, wealthy farmer, who
lived in McLean county, this State, left
his wife and three children this week

turned over to them all of his property,
with the exception of a few hundred
dollars to atone for alleged wrong-
doings, the nature of which is not known
by his family, and if there is an accuser
Grimsby is the only one.

Treves, edward, offer

sllows the total steerage vals in the
United States during thdyear to have
been 487,018, an increase over the pre-
ceding year of 39,346, or approximately
9 per cent. :
Ot this increase 2,020 came through
Canadian ports and the remainder
through ports of this country. The ratio
of increase of Italian immigratiqq, as
compared with those from the same
country last year, is approximately 36 per
tent., or more than threefold the ratio of
increase from all Europe, and the in-
creases numerically from all other coun-
tries of Europe aggregate scarcely one-
fourth of that from Italy.
The total steerage immigration was
distributed as to sex between 331,055
males and 156,863 females. During the
year 363 were returned to their respec-
tive countries having become public
charges within one year after landing.
The number refused a landing was 3,-
516, against 4,246 for last year.
Further Honors for Li.
Pekin, (By Cable.)—The Empress
Dowager has issued another edict eulo-
gizing the late Li Hung Chang and or-
dering the erection of a memorial arch
near his birthplace. The edict also di-
rects that the rank of marquis, confer-
red upon the eldest son of the late Chi-
nese statesman in his own right, shall
descend through 23.generations. It con-
fers high rank upon the other ‘sons of
Earl Li, upon whom the posthumous
rank of marquis has been bestowed, and
confers dignities upon his grandsons, to
gether with lucrative offices.
Buried Under Tons of Rock.
Columbus, Ohio, (Special). — Two
men were killed and four injured as the
result of the premature explosion of a
blast at the Caspari’s stone quarry,
northwest of Columbus. The dead are
A. M. Vacci and John M. Antonio.
The two men killed were working
under a ledge and were buried under
tons of rock. Thorne, the foreman, was
hurled 35 feet in the air, but his in-
juries are not serious. One of the in-
ured men, named Wilson, will probably
die.

Those Gold Shipments.
Treasury officials say they feel no 2
prchension on account of the export?
tions of gold. It " said Secretary Gage
regards the shipmerits asa natural move-
inent in view of the general demand for
money in Europe, and that he believes
there is nothing in the situation to cause
uneasiness.
At this time there is an unusual de-
mand for money in severai European
financial centers, and it is to be expected,
it is said, that United States investors
would take advantage of the increased
interest rates.
Given Dignity by the New Dock.
The Navy Department has given the
naval establishment at Algiers, La, the
title of ‘‘Naval Station, Algiers, La.”
This station has been known as the “Na-
val Reservation, Algiers, La,” but with
the ownership of the finest floating dry-
dock of its class in the world, built at
Sparrows Point, Md., and the numerous
other improvements comes the added
dignity of the title of “Naval Station.”
Monitors to Stay Near Manils.
The coast defense monitors Monte-
rey and Monadnock, sent to the Philip-
pines soon after the victory of Manila
day, are to be kept in these waters in-
definitely. Both are powerful fighting
craft-and were sent to Manila “to
strengthen the American fleet when it
was feared a Spanish fleet would try
to recapture Manila. They are of shai-
low draft and just the kind of ships
suited for Phillippine waters.
