Lansing, Kansas, April 14.--Fire broke out in the twine plant of the Kansas state penitentiary here short- ly after noon Saturday.

The prisoners made no at tempt to escape, although three hundred were in the prison yard at the time.

Father Conardy, who has charge of a leper colony at Skeek- lung, nine miles from Canton, China, issued an appeal for helpers. It has been responded to by Sisters of the Immaculate Comception at Outre mont. The whole sisterhood vol: upteered for the work, but only fou will be selected. The sisters will be sent on their long journey in the course of - a week, and as the sisterhood has hardly any money they must beg their way. The volunteers also understand that the work they will undertake means their perpetual isolation from the rest of the world. JOH 00000000 0000000 "FIREWORKS" TO COME.

"We intend to fight to the drop of the hat," said one prominent liberal this morning. The Ottawa Citizen (Com:), com- menting editorially upon the situation to-day, states that the closure will go through and with its adoption the bill will pass. "To pass the bill as it stands to- day, under closure," says the Citi- zen, "will probably result in its re jection by the senate. Then will al- most necessarily follow a general el- ection with its strife and turmoil. Yet as matters stand to-day, this seems the most likely result." It is considered probable that the present diseussion on the closure will continue on Wednesday at least. Hon. Frank Oliver is the first speaker this afternoon. Peedi dd GUARDING CHURCH. | } SPB IP PLP bpp Branching out on his subject Con- troller 'McFarthy stated that we were apt to think of municipal gov- ernment as referring to streets, pavements, sewers, police and taxes. We are so concerned with the building of the city that before we realize it we have permitted the seeds of the worst social ills and evils of the old continental cities to be sown in our midst, and condi tions established that neither eNort, time or money will eradicate. Muni- cipal government is in a- measure, domestic. It deals with matters which ' effect our children, our fam- ilies, ourselves, and our homes. The character or classe of man who re presents the ward, in the city coun: cil, is of more vital importance to you, and your home, than the char- acter of the man who represents vou in the provincial and dominion gov- ernment.
