FRIDAY, NOVEMBER U.UH)I. , - Everything Remarkably Quiet At lhc Opening Session MICH UNLIKE FORMER OPENINGS The Session In Marked Contrast to tli? Stormy Time In the Summer ? Pres ^UiCi?t'P?lma'6 Message Delivered. Havana, by cable.? The winter Re? toion of congress opened Monday prom isingly. id bharp contrast to the rows and disinclination to legislate which characterized t lie summer ses&lon, the members of the minority party occu lted their seats in full force. Nation ttlfst leaders have informed ti^i asso ciated press that it is not their inten tion to pursue their former obsiruc-' tive tactics. There- wore leas than half a dozen absentees in ecah house and the proceedings wore characterized by friendliness. In his mesage President Palma, dis vussing the payments to the veterans, asked congress to decide in what man ner the remainder be duo should be raised. The President called atten tion to the tart that the IMatt amend ment would permit Cuba to incur debts unless the ordinary receipts of the treasury were sufficient to pay off the ainkink fund quid interest, adding thai as the present resources above the or dinary expenses are practically absorb ed by the first loan Cuba can create a new loan except through increasing taxes. The President suggested that the difficulty might be obviated by the creation of a perpetual debt bearing Interest at 3 per cent, per annum, ?which the government/ could be auth orized to sink after twenty years or to liquidate sooner if the means bo vome available. President Palma called attention to Cuba's responsibility under the Piatt amendment for proper sanitation throughout the island and stated t^Ht the executive government must assJane general charge of all sanitation in or der to secure uniform and effective re sults. Consequently congress should appropriate sufficient money for that purpose and authorize definite control thereof. The President reported that health conditions were as healthy as last year. Mortality the past ten months in Havana district was 21.20 per thousand, and throughout the is land 16.37. The one case of yellow fev ?i \er had been disposed of and that had v not /originated in Cuba. The sanitary department the President said, is pre paring1 new regulations to be carried out under executive authority. ? President Palma submitted the bnd \'/g< t of expenses for next year, amount ing to 510,000.000, of which he propos ed to devote $2,500,000 for the construc tion of new roads and bridges. The special internal tax- on liquors," match es. etc.. levied for the payment of the present loan now yields $3,360,000 an ? nually, with a surplus of $1,270,000 above the amount needed. If the ex pert authorized to be placed on sugar and cigars were also enforced, it would yield upwards of $500,000 or more. Big Battle Predicted. Mukden, By Cable ? The Russian an3 . Japanese armies extending from Bent Ala Putze, east to the Llao River, west, at placet; are almost within a stone's thro>v of each other. At Bentsla Put ze not more than 400 yards separate _ the advance posts, and at Slnchinput, on -the Shakhe liver, just west, of the railway and J.". ,milon south of Muk den, the Japanepo and Russians occu py the extreme ends of the same vjl ioge. At Huangshantso the Russian center has thrown advance posts across the Shakho rWer. Both armies are still strengthening their positions all along- tho tine. The slightest movement on either side is .the signal for firing which occasionally lasts ail night. The Russians arc using six inch guns on the railway, which must greatly harass tho Japanese Undoubtedly the most decisive, if not the greatest battle of the year, will be fought in tho vicinity of tho . Shakhe river. The Russians are con fident of their ability to held their positions. rt ho soldiers aro building lnud huts for winter quarters.

Clinton, Special. ?The Memorial Dining Hull of Thornwell Orphanage was destroyed by Are Thursduy night. Tho fire was discovered about 11.30 o'clock and had then gained such a !?>?$dway as to nwtke it impossible <o fcttve the building. Tho best that could be done was to prevent the flames spreading t u the dormitories on <??<?!? Fide, in which tho inmates were asloup when the fire began. There were no sleeping apartments in the memorial hall but ^ vfei fitted up in excellent ~tyle and the financial loss is heavy. The building contained dining room, store rooms and kitchen, the last Jjeing furnshed with modern ranges and ap pliances. The destruction of the build ing leave.* the^crphans with nothing to eat and nu place to cook or eat if there were proyjUjions on hand. Despite the late hour, hcweviVr, citizens of Clinton are pivpaS'lng to feed the chil dren tomorrow. Hut help must come promptly to put these things in shape as/ain, and Dr. Jacobs, the supttrin t( .ndent, appeals to the people through The tit ate for contributions at once. Tho burned building was erected by I popular subs? ription, chiefly from } l'fosbyterians In 1888, and was a j handsome atone structure, about f>0- ; xCQ feet, costing about $10,000. There is probably some insurance but thin could not be definitely learned to night. The building was situated be tween two others with narrow streets Um ween, and It was only by hard work that these adjacent structures were saved. On account of (he | drouth It was difficult to secure water, j Clinton having no water works system . and many wells having gone dry. It Is supposed that the fire started j from one of the ovens. Franchise Tax Law. Tin* attention of the general assem bly was directed two years ago to ijio fact that the revenue of the statoxiia not increasing in proporlou to the growth of nceotssary expenses. When the annual appropriation for pensions was increased from $150,000 to $200. 000, the state fell behind in meeting its expenses, for it was this same year that $50,000 was given to the Charles ton exposition. The legislature appointed a com mission to look Into the matter of the state's revenuo, aiul this commission was empowered to sit during the re cess and report by bills or otherwise. That commission introduced three "revenue" bills, only one of which be came a law. The bills which failed to pass provided for a change in the entiVe machinery of the tax depart ment. The act which became a law Is the only one which seeks to bring in taxes from a new quarter. 4 This act to place a tax on franchises, a kind of license tax, became a law, but was inoperative during the year just ended as it provides that corpora tions must report during the month of February, and the act was not ap proved until it was too late for the corporations to make such a report for the year 1904, Mr. A. W. Jones, the comptroller general, i? now working on a set of blanks to be filled out by the corpora tions upon whose, franchises this tax will be levied as a license. The act will be of force next year and may bring in over $80,000 in addition, to the revenue now received from direct taxation. <*. . All "home" or domestic corpora tions will be governed by the following section of the act: "Every corporation organized under the laws of the state to do business for profit, and doing business in this state.

Toppling with a roar like the crack of doom on tho handsome dwelling house of Miullu Peoples, noav tho centre of this village, at '? o'clock In the morning, the north tilde of tlio big municipal waterworks reservoir smashed tho building to splin ters and released 800,000 gallons of wa ter that surged in a tremendous wave over the heart of the residence section on that side of the city. Nine persons, seven of them women, were killed by the fall of tho Vail or drowned in the might v out rush that followed It, and four wore Injured. The ttood swept n pain through all that part of tho vil lage, traveling more than half a mile to Belos Landing before it spent Its fnrv on the plain. It scooped up house a Tier house and carried them along at frightful speed, drowning the dwehers in several before they awoke. Four 1*0:110$ were swept several hundred yards from their foundations ami thrown in shapeless masses against the high ground that stopped them. It was In the stillness of the hour be fore the dawn that the hand of death fell on the place? stiller than tho dead of night, when weary men were deep In the last of their slumber and none was awake* in the neighborhood to pound a warning cry. That, a tuuiult of shouts would have aroused the doomed in time to give them a change for their lives Is doubtful, though. One terrille note was sounded by tho Wall as it gave way under the strain of that vast bulk of water it prisoned, l'hen followed the fearful roar of the wrttei, the shriek* of the few who awoke wltTi moments left in which to face their death, tho grinding of timbers, the swift beat of falling bricks on the prostrate sides of houses and in a few minutes a mass of hu man and building wreckage wrts tloat Ing 011 the torrent that sped northeast toward tin* .KoujLhevh Hallway cut. Yet in tho ^height of Us fury the llood performed sirango acts of seeming mercy. It killed or maimed more than n dozen, but It carried a negro named Davis atul Ills wife in their bod out of their ruined house for 500 yards with out harming a hair of their heads. The lJavises were asleep when tho huge column of water struck their little home. Over went the tiny building, torn from Its frail foundation, to which the floor still clung, so that the upper part of tho house was an open shell. The bed righted Itself In the Bwlrl with out throwing cither of them off. gasp ing for breath after their sudden lm> merslon, they found themselves tossing on the torrent, their bed a boat. They flashed past unscathed dwelling houses clasped in each other's arms, praying aloud i:i momentary expectation of death. Suddenly as It had seized them the flood east their bed upon a rub bish pile, and, safe after their agony of fear, they picked their way to firm er ground. "I cannot describe my experience when I was floating on tho mad rush ing stream of water," said L D. Payne, a traveling salesmau, of (Ireen boro, who was hurt too terribly even to be taken to a hospital. Other^sald they thought they were In the ml^Pof an earthquake. It was not until they had been in tho water for at least a mlnuto that they realized what had happened. Then they recalled that the reservoir wa(l had been regarded as unsafe by many persons, and that there had been Yi^feoifng the authori ties should reiftove it, particularly as tho village had erected a standplpe from whie'u an funpie supply could be obtained. Cries broke from the (sur vivors as they were borne away by the flood. By that time almost everybody In the nnflooded parts%of the village was engaged, ih the rescue work, which was organised by common action, and for upwafd of an hour was without di rection. t Mayor O. B. ICaton took charge oC tho work on his arrival. Arrangements for burial of tho dead and care of the Injured were made ear ly In the forenoon by the Board of Al dermen. Tho Board also directed an immediate search of an enormous pond made around the fallen wall by the set- 1 tling of the water. It was feared other bodies might be found at the bottom. The Aldermen gave orders to drain tho pond. Much criticism of the authori ties for tho condition of the reservoir Avas expressed. Tho wall was thirty feet high when a company of sixty vil lagers constructed the reservoir twen ty-three years ago. After running the | -works for thirteen years the corpora tion r.old the whole plant to the munic ipality, which added ten feet to the height of the wall. The reserrolr was hrhnlng when the eollapsc occurred. It was only five blocks from the ecu- | ire of the business district. ? ? I GOBP.LE Ur BONDS.

'I ho man struck furious blows at Miss Wehiner ami tried to hurl her to the ground. She twisted In his grasp and clung to his arm so that lie could not throw her from him.
