The resolutions adopted declare that “the foreign commerce of the United States has grown to the great total of 500,000,000 per annum, and the coun- try's whole prosperity depends upon the undisturbed continuation and ex- tension of this commerce.

New York, Nov..23—Three women were probably fatally hurt and five firemen - were injured severely in a blaze that destroyed two buildings in Brooklyn early in the day. The fire started in the cellar of a drug store at Fulton and Adelphi streets. Three upper floors were oc- cupied by three families, consisting of fifteen persons. The flames spread upward so quick- ly that when the sleeping tenants were aroused by the smoke and crackling flames they found all escape by- the stairways had been cut off. Bella Hill, Florence Seabrook and Hetta Rdchardson, all of whom lived on the fourth floor, made their way down one story and out on to the cor- nice. Mrs. Seabrook had her baby in her arms. The cornice gave way and the women were precipitated to the ground. Mrs. Seabrook clasped the irfant to her bosom in such a way that when she struck the sidewalk the little one escaped injury.. The women were hur- riedly carried to a hospital, where their injuries were pronounced probably fa- a 1 Eight families, comprising thirty- four persons, escaped or were rescued from a building adjoining the drug store before the house was destroyed.

'Mr. Thomas began an investi- gation and discovered a fire on the front porch. He picked up a large rug and attempted to smother the flames, when “a terrific explosion, occurred. Althongh but a few feet from the mis- S 4 injury. The front wall of the house was blown in, doors were shattered and an immense hole was torn in the ground. The interior of the building is a Wwreck. The explosion was heard for three:miles. A squad of police were on the scene in a short time, but no clue to the per- petrators of the deed was found.

KENTUCKY MOB DISPERSES. All Danger of Lynching at Lexington Seems Past. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 23.—The mob that threatened to lynch the negroes held in jail here for murdering a white man last Sunday night and attempting to kill other white people dispersed as day dawned. The troops and extra po- lice have retired and the jail is guard- ed now only by deputies. It is believ- ed that all danger of lynching is past, as the authorities cannot now be tak- en by surprise and, the jail will be well guarded at night with troops in readiness for emergency. The ' preliminary hearing of the ne- groes was the cause of much excite- merit. They were taken to the court- house in a patrol wagon guarded by twelve policemen. A large crowd had gathered at the jail and the streets were lined with shouting people. The patrol wagon was driven at breakneck speed to the courthouse where, after a preliminary hearing, the negroes were held to the grand jury. The same exciting scenes attended the return of the negroes to jail. The doors of the jall were open when the patrol wagon returned and the negroes were literally thrown through the entrance and the doors slammed in the face of the mob which surged around the place. Many threats of lynching were heard. GEORGIANS VISIT MADISON. Making an Inspection of Wisconsin University.

"ERERIS ARRESTED SUPPOSED SLAYER OF CHAFFEUR BATE CAPTURED IN AN IL- LINOIS TOWN. AN EYE WITNESS TELLS HIS STORY YOUNG FARMER SAYS HE-SAW A PERSON IN AN AUTOMOBILE FIRE A SHOT. Chicago, Nov. 23.—“Mr. Dove,” the alleged murderer of William Bate, the chaffeur whose dead body was found in an automobile near Lemont, is re- ported to have been' captured at a small station on the Rock Island rail- road between Minooka, IIl, and Mor- ris, IIL Chicago, Nov. 23.—Evidence has been unearthed by the police indicat- [ing that “Mr. Dove,” the mysterious passenger who engaged the automobile in which Chaffeur Willlam Bate was found dead with two bullet wounds in his head at Lemont Friday night, was in hiding in a Joliet boardinghouse as late as sundown Sunday night, forty- two hours after the crime was commit- ted. The clew, which sends the de- tectives off on the first tangible scent picked up since the finding of the body, was discovered at Romeo, a vil- lage a few miles out of Joliet. Mayor Crolius of Joliet, early in the day, sent word to the Chicago detectives at Le- mont that the suspect was under sur- veillance and would be arrested within twenty-four hours. Frederick Doehly, a saloonkeeper at Romeo, told the detectives that early Saturday morning a stranger walked into his barroom. He carried a shab- by canvas suit case to which was strapped, with the lining outward, a. light overcoat. The man walked nervously about in the tavern for three hours when he walked out and boarded a car going in the direction of Joliet. Answered Description of Dove. On the car rode Miss Farrell, the village school mistress, who noted her fellow traveler minutely. Her atten- tion was attracted by his extreme ner vousnéss. Both Doehly and Miss Far. rell, when questioned by-the detectives, described the man in detail. In every point they pictured “Mr. Dove. H. Hauser says the straniger stopped al his boardinghouse in Joliet over night. He was very nervous, and at dark the next night he sneaked out ana went to the depot. An eye witness of the mysterious murder of Chaffeur Bate has been found in John Hennes, a young farmer who lives one mile north of the place on Archer road at which the automo- bile containing Bate's body was dis- covered. Hennes said he was aroused about 11 o’clock by the noise of an au- tomobile and just as the machine near- ed his place he heard loud voices, as if the occupants of the machine were quarrelling. He arose from bed and saw an automobile passing in front of the house. The machine seemed to be swaying from side to side, its occu- pants were talkng loudly, and one of them seemed to be standing up in the rear seat. Suddenly the person in the rear held a revolver at arm’s length and fired straight ahead. The machine continued on its way and Hennes heard nothing more. FILES A VIGOROUS PROTEST. State Department Objects to Light Sen- tence on a Mexican Judge. Washington, Nov. 23.—Through the American ambassador to Mexico, Gen- eral Powell Clayton, the state depart- menl has addressed a vigorous protest to the Mexican government against the sentence imposed by a local court upon Hermalao Torres, local judge of the district of Fuerta for his connec- tion with the murder at Auguacaliente de Baca, on July 19, last, of Clarence Way and Edward B. Latimer, two American citizens. Torres, who, ac- cording to reports recelved at the state department, was the chief instigator of the crime, received a sentence of ten months’ imprisonment and a small fine, which sentence this government deems wholly inadequate. It is charg- ed by foreign residents of the Fuerte district that the court shielded "Torres at his trial and that Torres has threat- ened other foreigners. MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGE.

GALE FATAL T0 MANY SMALL CRAFT WRECKED BY A SE-V VERE STORM ALONG ‘THE BRITISH COAST. COLD CAUSES INTENSE SUFFERING ACCENTUATES THE DISTRESS OF THE POORER CLASSES IN GREAT BRITAIN. London, Noy. 23.—Keen frost and heavy snow squalls are reported from all parts of the United Kingdom. A &ale raged all night long over the coasts, driving vessels to shelter and seriously dislocating the telegraph wires, especially in_the north of Eng- land and in Scotland. Blinding snow- storms are causing deep driits and rendering traffic difficult in the coun- try 8istricts and are- necessitating a cessation of-outdoor work in many of the provincial towns. In London little snow has fallen, but a sharp fall in temperature is accentuating the dis- tress among the poor, which is already prevalent. The snow is so deep at Chatsworth that the king of Portugal | and others ‘of the house party there have been prevented from ‘shooting. Some small craft have been wrecked. ‘Wintery weather seems general in Europe, frost being reported as far south as Naples. In Westmoreland the unusual sight was seen of trains stuck in snow drifts and blocking communication on the Northeastern railroad. The land lines in Ireland are affect- ed, causing delay in communication with America. The lifeboats are busy, but the most serious wreck so far reported is that of the Rri steamer Indianic. = From Seuth Africa.—New Way of Using Chamberlain’s Cough . - Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South-Afri- ca, says: ‘‘As a proof that Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neigh- ber of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it.. I sug- gested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put-some upon the dummy teat the baby was. suck- ing it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby.” . This remedy is for sale by Barker’s Drug store. Are You Ready?
