Foss, the newly-elected demo cratic representative from Massachu setts, a former republican and a lead ing manufacturer, signalized his be ginning of active participation in the house with a sensationally radical attack upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff. He denounced the republican porlicy of protection as an unmitigated evil, flayed the republican leaders, declared the recent revision of the tariff to be “a deliberate bunco game from start to finish,” pronounced in favor of reciprocity and demanded an “extra session of a new ccfngress” at the earliest opportunity to revise the tariff. “The people are indeed demanding protection,” said Mr. Foss, “but the protection they are demanding is pro- tection—from • the Payne-Aldrich tariff.” The speaker announced himself as favoring the creation <Jt a tariff com mission, but he wanted the commis sion composed of non-partisan men, whose report would be made direct congress rather than to the president. $10,000 FOR PRINCETON. c.

No one else at the plant who sunrived the accident can give an ex planation. One workman says he heard three distinct explosions in Quick succession. The forcu of the concussion was terrific. The big plant is in such a state erf ruin as to be practically a total loss. A mere ^gg shell of the building< is left.

Washington.—A famous claim against the government In which the heirs of. George Washington wotfld receive $305,000, may be settled by the action of the house committee on private land claims, which is expectec, to report favorably to the house bill to that effect. There are severa heirs of Washington who combined in making the claim, which has been pending through several congresses. George Washington was entitled, under the Virginia law, to some 23,000 acr^ of land as a recompense for his military services, but he de clined to accept It, and took, instead, warrants for 3,050 acres of land in Ohio: This tract was located -in the northwestern reserve, in what is known as the “Virginia military lands.” It was claimed that Washington paid the, taxes on the land up until the^tlme of his death, and that his administrators paid it until 1807. If the expected action is taken by the committee and approved by congress, the government will allow the heirs $305,000 in gold in lieu of the land. None of the Hieirs are wealthy, and some of thein mre poor, it is stated. Lia'v^ence Washington, a descendant of the family of the first president, made the principal argument before the committee in favor of the claitn. The stike at the Bethlehem (Pa.)
