Special Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.—Miss Lillian Vickers of Los Angeles, Cal., whose fath- er is wealthy and the owner of a large cattle ranch, met a terrible death at Bryn | Mawr College, where she had been a stu- dent for three years. Her clothing caught fire in the morning in her room after she awoke and she died four hours after her suffering began. Just how the accident occurred no one can tell, and the young woman was con- o short a time that she could give no explanation. It was 8:3) o'clock and some girl students were in their apart- ments dressing, when one or two neigh- bors of Miss Vickers in the dormitory heard a groan and a half smothered cry for help from the bathroom opposite the young Californian’s room. Hurrying there, they opened the door and then sprang back with screams as Miss Vickers, her nightdress ablaze, staggered forward and fell to the floor unconscious. For a moment the young women he: tated, but then called for the college fire | brigade and began to beat into the flames that enveloped the body of their friend. They wrapped a rug around the suffer- ing woman and covered her with what- ever articles of woolen clothing they could The flames were soon extinguished and the sufferer was carried to her room, where, despite the efforts of physicians, she soon died. The young woman was conscious but a brief interval after the Then she asked: ‘““Was any one else burned? Was the college harmed?”’ One theory as to the cause of the acci- dent is that upon entering the bathroom and finding it dark, Miss Vickers lighted the gas, and as she did so the sleeve of ber nightdress touched the jet. Another suggestion is that she struck a match and part of the burning head fell upon her | nightdress. The young woman spent yesterday with her aunt, Mrs. Sarah L. Oberholzer of | 1905 Tiogd. street, buying Christmas pres- ents in Philadelphia and was in the best ¢ spirits when she returned to the col- ge at night. She was 25 years old and would have graduated in 1903. Her father, John Vickers, is the owner of Vickers Isl: and, California. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.—Miss Lillian Vickers, who was to-day burned to death at Bryn Mawr College, Philadelphia, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. V.

T COPPER BEDS I IGHT Peruvian Outlook May Explain Market’s De- moralization. o Special Dispatch io The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 20.—Mr. Riblet, mining engineergand constructor of aerial tramways, who has returned from the Sierra del Pasco mines, in Peru, brings a story which may account for the de- moralization of the copper market. He says that in twelve months the Sierra del Pasco mines of Peru, owned by the Rothschilds and other English capitalists, will be able to add thousands of tons of ‘cfi’);’per per annum to the world’s produc- The company_expects to be able to land copper at* Valparaiso within twelve months at 7 cents a pound, and as copper is now selling at 13 cents the cheapness of the supply from the Peruvian mines will make their output no inconsiderable fac- tor in the market. Riblet went to Peru five months ago, 180 tramway and a length to Ciudad. raflroad 130 miles In Formerly 15,000 llamas | were used to pack the ore from the mines i to Ciudad for shipment on the railroad, the pack trains traveling over arduous trails, Riblet says the Sierra del Pasco mines, which have been worked as a silver prop- | osition for more than 400 years, contain the largest body of high grade copper ore in the world. The Spanish owners pre- viously working the property were unable to treat the copper and left it untouched | since the time the mines were first opened. As a consequence the company will have at least a five years’ ore supply ready for reduction. The Sierra del anco mines are 8000 feet above the sea and are lo- cated on an immense ledge, which runs through them for more than 1000 feet. Used a Smith Typewriter.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUKKAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Official ad- vices received here show that an amica- ble settlement of the dispute between Argentina and Chile is pending. Minister Merou, representing Argentina, is confi- dent that as a result of the recent ex- change of notes by the two countries war has been averted for the present at least. Well informed diplomats are, however, of the opinion that war is simply a mat- ter of time, as they say the great ques- tion between the two countries is not where the boundary line shall be, but which shall be the predominant power of South America. BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 20.—In order to commemorate the formation of the League of Patriots here thousands or young men paraded the streets last even- ing cneering for Argentina, the Argentine army, President koca and ex-President Mitre, now president of the commission to settle the fronuer dispute witn Chile. The crowads of manifestants, estimated to have numbered as many as 80,00 per- sons, stopped and cheered before the of- fices' of the various newspapers, where fiery addresses were made. The crowds then marched in_ the direction of Presi- dent Hoca's residence, before which the national hymn was sung. The President responded with an energetic spee which was enthusiastically applauded. 'hen for about an hour the crowds en- gaged in the patriotic demonstratioa marched past the President’s residence, shouting, ~No more diplomatic notes “Let us have war sooner ,h than that There were also some cries 0f “Death to the Chileans!” The Nacion, referring to the interna- tional complications, says that Uruguay is much concerned 1n view of the possi- bility of a conflict between Argentina and Chile about her neutrality. Brazil is also sald to be considering the same subject. In this connection it is reported that Brazil contemplates appropriating £5,000,- 000 to £10,000,000 sterling for the purchase of new warships, showing, it is said, that Brazil, which up to the present has suc- ceeded in confining herself to a state of armed peace, is finally getting mixed up in the diplomatic. complications and is feeling herself compelled to guard against the threatened trouble between South American countries. Peru and Bolivia are also strengthening their armaments and incidentally are ruining themselves by so doing. President Roca and Senor Trigoyen, the Governor of the province of Buenos Ayres, have had a long conference rela- tive to the Chilean situation. President Roca will start on a tour of inspection of the military districts of the Argentina republic in January and will review all the troops which will by that time have been mobilized.

It was known some time | ago by those students who keep in close touch with the professors that such action wculd be taken, but to the greater part of the student body his expulsion came as a surprise. of athletics, Brightman, it is sald, neglect- ed his studies. During the summer an | fall just past Brightman made every effort | to turn out a successful football team. It was through his efforts that Wright was brought from Ne: team. He was Javish in his furnishings ! of the team. Delieving that the college would support him, he entered into a pol- lcly of importing star players to help the eleven. less, the team went $2600 into debt and the students turned upon Brightman, as he was the only one on whom they could vent their disappointment. He was first suspended as manager of athletics by the cxecutive committee of the students and a substitute was appointed. Various charges of incompetency and a desire to professionalize the team were made. Finally the faculty used its authority to i expell him from the university. | Thus deprived of all privileges at the State Unlversity Brightman will be given no credit for the work already done and probably will be denied admission to other colleges. The action of the facnity was taken in the face of the fact that many of the students believe that the unfortu- nate young man had been acting for what he thought was the best interests of the college. It is also claimed that the fac- | ulty turned on Brightman after the foot- ball disaster, but not before. — Great reduction In price on Holiday Liquors at Horwitz & Cohn’s, 1716 Market, phone South 684, Straight whiskies, §2, $250, $3 gal.

Young Vanderbilt, who is now a Yale senior, came down from New Haven to-day for the pur- pose of taking legal possession of his fortune. That formality performed, he returned to New Haven to preside at a birthday dinner to which he had invited a number of his college friends.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 20.—Three men were killed and twelve injured by a ter- rific boller explosion at the Black Dia- mond Steel Works of Park Brothers on Thirtieth street to-day and another man is missing. The dead are: JOHN WELVIK, aged 32 years. PATRICK O'CONNOR, aged 28 years. An unknown man. The missing man is John Wiltz and he is probably among the killed. The ten men injured, at the hospitals, are doing well. Reuben Miller Jr., superintendent of the plant, states that the boilers were examined last week and pronounced in excellent condition. No known causge can be given for the explosion, but an inves- tigation is now in progress. t was about 4:15 o'clock, as the night crew was about to turn over the mill to the day force, that four boilers in the ten-inch bar mill No. 3 exploded with terrific force. The mill was wrecked and the debris is piled from fifty to seventy- five feet high. The boiler works of James McNeil, adjoining the Black Dia- mond mill, were also destroyed. From what can be learned the four boilers exploded at one time, reducing the mill to a heap of charred timbers and twisted iron. There is not a straight plece of iron or steel left in the entire building. Even the bolts in the beams and stringers are twisted like screw nails. One of the boilers went through the roof of the bar mill, soared through the air across Thirtieth street and crashed into the residence of Robert Price at 8 Toirtieth street, completely wrecking the house. Price and his family rushed to the street in their night clothes, WASHINGTON RANCHER'S TWO DAUGHTERS ELOPE in the Family of William Reavis. TACOMA, Dec. 20.—The eloping spirit seems to run in the family of Willlam Reavis, a prosperous.farmer of Prescott. He has two pretty daughters—Cora, aged 19, and Alta, aged 16 years.
