special correspondent. of the
Chicago 'frlbuno at Balm , Russia ,
'
sends the following account of the recent -
cent disturbance at that place :
The worst of the storm of massacre -
cre , pillage and. incendial'is\l1 whicb
has swept over Balm and its environs
is over , but the picture Is one of deepest -
est gloom.
It is difficult to describe the bor-
rors of the last six days. Massacre
has followed massacre. A pall of
smolw from burning oil wells , tanls
and refineries has hung over the city
, day and night.
The butchery began with the
t slaughter of 1,500 Armenians while
the police loolwd on as if it were n
\ " theatrical displa ) ' . Children were
dashed to pieces before their mothers'
eyes , Men either were cut to pieces
instantly or mutilated In an indescribable -
able fashion before they were put to
'death.
An Armenian vizier , who barricaded -
ed himself in his house , was roasted
, to death with his wife and children.
The Armenians who took refuge in
another house were holding out
against the Tartar soldiers when a
1 _ magistrate demanded admission. The
, latter persuaded them to come out , assuring -
suring them of his protection. He
then ordered the soldiers to fall on
them , and all were barbaroush' mur-
dered.
Then the troops took up the tasl ,
of SUPlJressing the orgy of blo dshed ,
and in the six dtlYS of fighting more
than a thousand persons have been
Itilled. Several thousandd were wounded -
ed , almost exclusively Tartars , Puritans -
tans and Arruonlans.
Nearly 100,000 flJglUvos are without
, worl" almost. the , whole oil Industry
. , being ruined , Involving serious conse-
' ; { ' . : . , qucnces to the trade and commerce
f , of the whole country , The flnanelal
" loss cannot be computeu , but there w11l
, I be a loss of about $10,000,000 annually
, to state revenue from the excise.
, , , ' Boats running on the Volga w11l
doubtless have to use naphtha Instead
of all , The quantity of navhtha on
Imnd will be sufficient for the river
boats for at least five months. It
! , w11l talw nearly a year to repair the
t' damage here.
' But for the activity of the soldiers I
the bloodshed might have been great-
cr. As It is a great many have been
,
j > killed ,
There is lIttle left unburned above
the ground In the outlying oil fields
of Balakan , Roumanl , Sabunto , and
Blbiebat , from which the crude oil
supply for the Baku 011 Industry is
drawn. All the extracting plants , In-
. eluding derrlclis , pumping establishments -
ments , and the all reservoirs In which
the crude all Is stored , have been de-
stroye _ The breaking of the reservoirs -
voirs 'unloosed a fiood of burning all
which it was Imposslblo to extinguish.
A large portion of the "blacl , town"
quarter , in which most of the refineries -
eries were located , was also burned.
The financial loss has not yet been
. _ established , but It wlll run Into the
millions , It Is stated that the loss
in crude oil which wlll , run waste until -
til the reservoirs can bo rebuilt , and
the refineries again started , wlll
amount to $200,000 dally.
Costly Dreams of Empire _
The dream of empire Is doubtless a
pleasant diversion from the stern real-
itlos of the ordinary ruler's life , but
when It. becom's something mal'O than
a dream it Is nsually a costly oxperi.
ment. The czar has found It so in the
far east and Germany Is beginning to
realize that the IHliser's vision is almost -
most as much as it can bear. Mlllions
of Russian rubles have been spent in
a vain attempt to maliC Siberia and
the Pacific coast a productlvo part of
the Rttsslan empire , ' wbUe the } mlser
bas spent 50,000,000 on his African
wars , with no prospect at return from
these colonies for half a century. The
public debt of Germany has increased
$300,000,000 in ten ) 'ears , and there Is
, no prospect" that It wlll be decreased

BENEFIT OF ELECTRIC TRAVEL.
Quick Transit Relieves Congestion of
Large Cities.
A'rather strlltlng' phrase was used
by Prof. E. A. Ross , a visiting lecturer
at the UnIversity of Chicago , in the
course of a recent address. "Steam
massed people , " ho said , "but olec-
trlcity is dispersing thorn. " And , not
quite so bapplly , continuing , "When
the mechanic comes to think nothing
of living ten miles from his work the
slum wlll vanish and the cit ) . wlll diffuse -
fuse itself into the country. " 'fhe objection -
jection to this is that , In American
cities , the slums are not made up of
mechanics. Nevertheless , the tenden.
C ) ' of the electric railway to extend the
distance between the shop and the
home is undoubtedly of the greatest
benefit to American worldngmon. As
a simple problem in arithmetic a
twelve.mlIe rlpo for 5 cents Is cheaper
than IL Ile.and.a.half rldo for 2 cents.
But the difference in standard of lIv.
ing mnde possible by the longer bauls
and uniform fares of the American
street railways , as compared with the
shorter distances and graded fares in
Great Britain , Is even greater than the
proportionately cheaper transporta-

AMERICAN VOTERS IN CANADA.
Possible Annexation of Western Part
to the United States.
Now the American immigration
question in Canada has reached a cli-
max. It taltes only three years for
an immigrant to earn a vote in Canada ,
and 75,000 former American voters
will soon come into their Canadian suf-
frage. There are in round numbers
190,000 males moro than 18 'ears of
age in western Canada who formerly
lived in the United States , 150,000 of
whom are old enough to vote. There
are now between 750,000 and 800,000
settlers , with a possible voting population -
tion of 240,000 , IL high percentage because -
cause many cattlemen without famlJles
are omlgratlng from Montana and Wy-
oming. By. the end of 1905 the American -
ican vote in the Canadian west wlll bo

Before Senator Platt of Now Yorl , had
been-shelved practically a great many
persons appealed to him for help of
ono Itlnd or another. On ono occasion
a young army officer had been denlod

his eyesight. His mother wrote to
Senator Platt asldng him for his as-

words : "I leave It all to you and the
Lord. " The senator forwarded this
appeal to the secretar ) ' of war , saYing
in his own note : "I have noticed that
when a matter Is left to me and the
Lord I am held responsible In case of

ENORMOUS COST OF WARFARE
Fighting Has Saddled the Nations of
the World With Debt.
Two or three centuries ago It was
dlscovorod that money for warfare
could bo secured moro easily and in
larger quantities by bon'dlng the nation -
tion for it and taxing the people to pay
the Interest. 'Val's hegan to cost
more. In less than 300 ) 'ears Great
Britain has spent on warfare $6,795-
000,000. ' 1'ho revolution of 1688 cost
$15 ,000OOO , the war of the Spanish
succession , $220,000,000 : the Spanish
war , $32 , OOOOOO ; the seven ) 'ears'
war , $53 ,000OOO : the American war
of revolution , $725,000,000 ; the war of
the French revolution , $2,360,000,000 :
the war against. Napoleon , $2,930,000-
000. The Boer war cost' Great Britain
In cash moro than $800,000,000.
It is estimated that. the wars of the
nineteenth century cost the world $17-
922,000,000. A statistician has figured
that there are 3,15 , G73GOO seconds in
a century. According to these figures ,
the world paid out nearly $6 a second
in the last century for war. Adopting
Archbishop Usher's chronology , which
made the world 5,904 ) 'ears old at the
end at 1899 , the nation spent in the
nineteenth century for war an amount
equal to nearly $ G a mlnuto since the
creation. This statistician has estimated -
mated that the world's population is
1,500,000,000. If this is correct the
alDount spent in war between 1801 and
1900 would furnish each man , woman
and child with nearly $12 pocket
money.
The debts of the chief nations of the
earth aggregate more than $34,000,000-
000. It is belloved that three-fourths
of this sum was swallowed up in wl\r-
fare and preparations for It. Neatly
all the sum represented by the dc.ts
of Great Britain , Franco nnd Germany
was spent for warfare. These countries -
tries are spending annually In interest
on their debts nearly $390,000,000.
This sum Is In addition to the amounts
being expended for the support of mil.
itary armaments. 'I'he amount al > pro.
prlated this year for this purpose by
Great Britain In round flgnres Is $360-
000,000 ; by German ) ' , $217,500,000 : by
