Staunton, Ill, to-night.An excursion train bound south to attend the Prophet's parade at St.Louis sinashed into a local.Both cars were demolished and the dead and injured were piled in a bloody

section was concerned, but it is officially reported that the urders ta wait for-the second section were over Jooked.The ctews of both cars escaped death.Among those kilied \u2018'were three officers

Traction System two miles north of Staunton late to-day.Threa of the injured and possibly more will die.Reports from the wreck up to the present time have been dif-< ficult to obtain, aad, although

that all communication with the place is cut off.; No Lisbon despatches have been received in London since yesterday afternoon, when-the Eastern Telegraph Company announced the receipt of one from its station at Ca.i- cavellos, 11 miles from Lisbon, stating that all communication with the capital was broken.The Daily Mail prints its report of the revolution without a date line, and it may be based upon a wireless despatch, said to have been received by the Paris Matin, reading : \u201cA revolution has broken out in Lisbon and worships are now bombarding the capital.The army.and navy.are

Lisbon on Monday.The price of Portuguese bonds dropped heavily on the stock exchange here yesterday.The Santander correspondent of the Reuter telegram confirms the report of a revolution in Portugal, and adds that the rebels have captured the place.The announcement of the death of Prof.Bombarda.the Republican deputy and anti-Clerical, who was shot by the army lieutenant Rebello at Lisbon Monday,

criticizes the King as giving almost as little aid to the mon- arachist cause as to the pragessive, and declares that his lack of force in political affaire has been accentuated by public suspicion of

Oct.4\u2014Katherine Botti, a girl of 13 years, who slew her \u2018godfather with an axe and red hot poker in avenging his theft of her honor, was cleared of criminal charges late to-day on the ground that the homicide was justifiable.Judge Swearingen, charging the jurors after two days\u2019 recital of testimony, plainly opened the way to acquittal.The girl had faced the trial with confidence that her act was warranted, and she went to her home this evening Îree, but to face motherhood soon.Pasquale Volpe, who bad boarded at her home in Wilmerding ever since the girl's infancy, and who acted as her godfather, was the victim.While she was in the cellar getting potatoes he is alleged to have abused her on August 11 last, following which she struck him unconscious with an axe and ran a poker through his body.She related \u2018the story on the stand.\u201cHe had burned my heart,\u201d she said, \u201cand I wanted to burn him.\u201d A number of witnesses testified to the girl's good character in the neighborhood, her studious habits in school and hard work at home helping her mother.Although the girl had been indicted for first degree murder, the prosecution had not pressed for a conviction entailing so severe a penalty, Attorney Rouand merely urged that the child be placed in an institution, but the girl's counsel dramatically de- inanded \u201cliberty or death.\u201d Judge Swearingen charged the jury that if Volpk went to the cellar with the express purpose to commit an Ji abuse against the girl, the child had a right to kill him.GENERAL OTIS WAS ARRESTED rge of

people, The long-awaited revolution in Portugal has broken out.Lisbon is in the hands of the republicans, the royal standard has been torn from the palace and the flag of the revolution ists raised in its place.Some reports say that King Manuel is a prisoner.The army and navy have added their support to transfor mthe monarchys into a republic, and the movement which began Tuesday in she capital is likely to spread quickly throughout the country.The revolutionists hegan bombarding the gates of the King's park, with small show of resistance.and soon the supports of the monarchy began to capitulate.The republicans have been planning for à complete change in the government, and King Manuel, according to the republican leaders, by his disregard for the rights of the Penple aud blind insistence of a dictator system, has added to the fires of the people's wrath.As is usual under such conditions, the telegraphic communication with Lisbon has been practically cut off, but wireless despatches from vessels lying off Lisbon have amply confirmed the reports that the revolution is a serious one.Orders have also been issued by the authorities that no one shall be permitted to enter the city, and for the present it is impossible to give details of the sssnes of she outbreak.Change of Programm?» For Wednesda At the PAQUETORIUM HERE will be a complete change of Programme for Wedn

1910.THE UNDERWRITERS\u2019 DEMANDS.For a body of modest, disinterested gentlemen, with a taking, yet unassuming, way, commend us to the Fire Underwriters.in the spring they endeavored to convince up that the bulk of the fires in Quabee were due to defective installation.Yet now Alderman Cummings assures us that 90 per cent of these ontbreaks sre due to catelessnass, and, gs we pointed out lin a recent issue of this paper, out of alt the fires that occurred throughout Canada during the manth of August, only threes were estimated to be at- tributabla to defective wiring.\u201cReduced rates\u201d wss the talk thea as it is again now.What financial bog we shall fail in by the time we have finished chasing this elusive will-o\"the- wisp, Reduced Rates, it is hard to tell.Perbaps \u201cthere'll come a time some day\u201d when there will be left $'no probable, possible shadow\u201d of risk whatever, and then, in the amplitude of their generosity, the Underwriters will consent to insure at reasonable rates.By that time we shall probably have been taxed out of hearth and home, or, what is more probable still, we shalt have \u201cshuffled off this mortal coil\u201d and have been allotted to other spheres where, 30 far as we can gather from the testimony of the most eminent divines, there will be no taxes to pay, light and heat will be distributed gratis, and, however prof- i itable the outlook for business may | be, we presume that the Underwriters | will only be admitted in a private capacity.There is nothing like going the | whole hog.Some men might have i been bashful about demanding even such trifles as a main that would cer- | tainly cost more than half a million dollars, the reorganization of the fire i | | brigade, the establishment of a salvage corps and sundry other jmprove- ments all in one breath.Not so the | Fire Underwriters.Whether they, have the courage of their convictions | or not.we do not know.If they have the courage without the conviction, | then it is even more remarkable, If | they want the city to insure itself, why | de they not say so in plain English ; and cease to worry it?It would be | far simpler and less costly.It is small wonder that Hamilton and other cities carry their own insurance.The only thing that surprises us is that the Underwriters do not insist on the rebuilding of almost the whole of Quebec, with every possible fire-proof AUTUMN 1910 For this season we have imported an attractive selection of Solid Brass Flower Pots, Fern Pots and Jardinieres.The flower pots rang: in size from a four inch, suite able for holding a few Dutch bulbs to a full sized flower pot eleven inches in diameter.\u2018The prices are from 50c to $7.Customers\u2019 requiring larger sizes for Rubber Plants or Palms may have their needs supplied by placing their orders now, for these Solid Brass Pots are made with openings 12,14 and 16 inches wide ; the bodies of the larger sizes are from four to five feet in circumference.\u2018Owing to their great size and the space required to display them, we cannot keep them in stock and therefore request our customers to order from samples, which we have on hand, of the same design but smaller sizes.The large Solid Brass Flower Pots cost from $10 to $16.In Brass Ware, we are showing new styles in Electric Lamps, with decorative effects in transparent glass.Noticeable in other lines that are new are: Tumbler Coasters, Bottle Coasters and Tea Trays.These articles are made of two glass plates with a lace doily between, the frame is of pierced silver plate.The whole effect is very neat and the prices quite moderate.At this time of the year new goods arrive by almost every English mail steamer.We invite our customers to call frequently in order that they may see the latest productions of English and continental designers _ C.SEIFERT & SONS DIAMOND MERCHANTS 16 Fabrique Street, Quebes, appliance of the most modern type, regardiess of cost.If this were done, then even they might be willing to concede that we were at last deserving of a slight reduction.The trend of their demands seems to indicate that it will have to come to that.The trouble with the Underwriters is that they appear to want everything and give nothing.If they want to be fair by the citizens, let them declare what reductions they are ready to make as an offset to any expense that the city may undertake to suit them.And let the city calculate what the ratepayers will be called upon to pay for this.Then they can compare the two estimates and see if it is worth while for the city to take their demands into serious consideration.A proposition of this nature should he fair enough to both sides.There is no sense in buying a pig in a poke, \u201cun chat en poche,\u201d as our French confreres call it.AN EXAMPLE OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.There is no more impressive record of a city\u2019s growth on this continent than the history of Winnipeg.In 1870 it had a population of 215; to-day it has more than 150,000.Thirty-five years ago it was a Hudson Bay trading post; to-day it is the fourth city of Canada.the second manufacturing centre and the third wholesale distributing point in the Dominion.As Rudyard Kipling says:\u2014 \u201c| went away for fifteen years, which, in the life of a nation, is equivalent to about fiftean minutes in the life of a man.I came back, and I find the Winnipeg of to-day a metropolis.1 have seen all the buildings that you have created for your convenience, for your trade, for your necessities, for your justifiable pride and your luxury, and, above all, for the education of your children.\u201cThe visions that your old men saw fifteen years age Î saw translated today into stone, brick and concrete.The dreams which your young men dreamed I saw accepted as the ordinary facts of everyday Wife, and they will, in turn, give place to vaster and more far- reaching imaginations, This record is of unsurpassed achievement, and my | admiration for it, is as keen as my envy.\u201d There is no reason why old Quebec cannot learn something from young Winnipeg.Of coarse, it cannot hope to maka such astonishing progress, but its condition can be vastly improved.It may be argued that the West is fili- ing up repidly.Yet it ie estimated that the next census of this province will show the population to have risen from 25,000 to 32,000 in ten years.But the West is developing rapidly, So also is this province, and only a fraction of it is as yet developed.What we must now do is to follow the lead of the West and provide for the establishment of industries.The importance of these industries is being recognized by Western communities and practically every town of consequence with a fairly certain future is doing all it can to attract industrial growth, Publicity depart ments set forth through the press, by printed pamphlets and direct correspondence, the advantages of thelr respective localities, and boards of trade are ready and willing to take up the subject of a factory to be established, at any time and in any reasonable way.Strong men of ideas and experience are selected as commissioners to carry on this work, and the proportion of success attained corresponds with the ability and energy of those appointed.Each tries to offer the greatest possible inducement to the manufacturer in search of a new field of activity to come to them'and supplement the wonderful agricultural development with what gives promise to become equally wonderful upbuilding along industrial lines.: CANADA WINS.The Dominion, \"a monthly compendium of progress,\u201d which has just seen the light im Winnipeg and contains some very instructive and well-written articles on almost every useful situation in our national life, considers that all the fairy tales about the disappointed, discontented American settlers in the West originated with a contest between the railroads.\u201cIt is a railroad fight, pure and simple.The American roads are striving to keep the farmers, their real traflic-makers, from migrating to Canada, and the Canadian roads are deing their best to lure them hither.\u201d We agree with The Dominion that there is only one side td the question\u2014Canada wins, The rush of American immigration into the Western provinces continues, The United States is losing good blood and much money in the onrush.The Inspector of the Dominion Immigration Offices reported in Ottawa re cently that on a single train entering Canada at the North Portal the American passengers carried with them $225,000 for investment in their new homes.During the last year the number of Americans entering Canads.to take up new homes on the public lande was 86,448, and the estimate is that\u2019 each one brought in at least $1,000 on the average.Over eighty-six million dollars came over to the developmeht of arable lands in Canada in the year in addition to thousands of men and families of the sturdiest and thriftiest of American stock.One can hardly blame the Western railroads in the States for putting up a stiff fight against such an exodus\u2014even to the point of circulating reports that ars absolutely without the least foundation.The rush into Canada is easy to understand.The Canadian Government is offering very liberal inducements to secure good citizens to develop the agricultural resources of the West, and capital is invited to develop and utilize all raw materials, while Canada has many safe and profitable fields for investment.On the otber hand, the Government of the United States is showing many indications of abandoning the policies of the past, which effected the rapid and wenderful development of the Western States.The remaining public lands are being tied up into perpetual reservations; the would-be settler has to fight in order to secure his homestead rights, and can rarely get his title without a conflict with the Forestry Bureau or some other governmental agency.And so the American of the type that settled the West, who has the spirit of the pioneer and wants to ss sist in the development of a new country and to profit by it, must turn to Canada, where the door of opportunity is not closed in his face as it is in the newer parts of the United States to-day.COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL ANNEXATION.A recent article in the New York American pleading for a so-called reciprocity between the United States and Canada says that \u201cthe political annexation of the Dominion may be delayed a little, but commercial an: nexation is overdue.The appeal is the more interesting for the reason that most of the arguments advanced in favor of reciprocal exchange from the American point of view are strong arguments against any auch movement when viewed from the Canadian standpoint.Tt says that twenty years ago the Btates sent.goods to the value of thirty-eight \u2018million dollars over the frontier and received in return goods worth thirty-nine +\"; lions | Last year, however, America sept goods worth $225,52,000 to this country and imported only $95,128,310 from our side.According to statistics secured through Washington from the Canadisn Government, Ameriea supplies pearly 60 per cent of our imports, while the United Kingdom supplies only about 25 per cent.\u201cBut there is another side to the picture.\u201d says the American, \u201cAnd this latter is the side that concerns us most from the reciprocity point of view.In the matter of Canadian exports we are losing ground, as compared with Great Britain.We are pouring rivers of meney into the Canadisn tariff coffers.But Canadian cx- porters stop and stagger at our.custom houses snd prefer to trade with their British cousins across the ses.\u201cIn the year endigg last March Canada sent half of all its exports to Great Britain, while to us she \u2018Sent hardly more than a third.\u201cWe made a better comparative showing twenty years ago.We received then nearly 42 per cent of the volume of Canadian exports.\u2018 \u201cT'wo clear ideas should be gathered from these statistics: First, that the Canadian custom houses are faring much better than ours under the shadow of the existing high tariff wail.\u201cAnd, second, that the natural interchange between the two countries is immense in spits of all artificial barriers, and that it would be something prodigious\u2014like the sweep of tides\u2014if a reasonable reciprocity treaty were allowed to scale down the tariff walls and give disappointed nature half a chance.\u201cThe high tariff wall between the two countries has shed darkness and blight on both sides.It has driven into Canada industries that properly belong to the United States.And the raw materials of the great Northern\u2018 land have in turn been barred.out of their natural market\u2014to the mockery of our conservation theories and the sack of our natural resources.\u201cThe American is for Protectionthe kind that protects.\u201cThere is a genuine kind of protection, that diversifies industries, raises wages and saves freight from the other side of the world.\u201cBut the tariff that runs a Chinese wall across the American continent is not that kind.\u201cThis country has grown great through the continental sweep of an untaxed and untrammelled commerce.There is no political wisdom or business sense in truncating this all-in vigorating continental commerce at the Canadian frontier.\u201cIt is time that the discovery be made at Washington and at Ottawa that the protective principle has been falsely applied in the building of the tariff stockades across the grand meridian trade routes qf North America, The political annexation of Canada cial annexation is overdue.\u201d CULLERS
