While the Del aware, Lackawanna & western ferry boat Montclair was crowded from end to end on a trip tonight from the foot of Christopher street to Hoboken, fire burst out beneath the midst of the inner row of seats in the men's cabin on the starboard Bide. So sudden was tho outburst of flames that those Bit ting on the seats had narrow escapes from burning. The shouts of fire sent the passengers in & rush to the open ends ot the boat, men almost pushing one another into the water. The panic spread to tho women's cabin, which was also crowd ed, there being 1,000 passengers on the boat. Tho Montclair was in midstream. As quickly as they could make their way to the fire extinguishers, the deck hands took them down and played on the fire, which quickly became only a smudge of stifling smoke. Tho boat was driven full speed, with whistle shrieking, to the Hoboken Blip. The passengers rushed ashore and the fire department put out what remained of tho blaze.

Traffic of Soo Canal. Sault Ste. Mario, Mich., Deo. 25. The government roport places tho total freight tonnage of tho Soo canal for the year at 44,270,800 tons, an increase over last year of 40 per cent. Most significant of tho events of 1005, because It Indicates unmistak ably the inexorablo advance of man kind toward high Ideals of liberty, Justice and perfect civilization, is tho political and economic upheaval now taking place in Russia. Wearying under a load of taxation, ren dered well-nigh unbearable by added burdens Imposed by the prosecu tion of a disastrous war, the peasantry and common people started a revolt against the tyrannical aris tocracy, and have been able to force from their unwilling ruler many con cessions tending toward a free citizen ship. Massacre and rapine, In which the Jews were the chief sufferers, aro tart of the price paid for tho advan tage gained. Another Impressive proof of civilization's ndvanco is the blood less revolution by which Norway has dissolved its political connection with Sweden and seated a king upon Its long unusued throne. The recent ex posures of graft and fraud in high financial circles and last summer's la bor troubles In Chicago aro only Inci dents of the constant conflict being waged for the establishment of Jus tice and fair treatment botween man and man. The Russo-Japanese war, after a brilliant series of land campaigns, during which one after another of the strongholds of the Russians in Man churia fell Into the hands of their op ponents, and a decisive battle on the Sea of Japan, that Is said to have been one of the greatest naval contests of all history, has been brought to a close, and largely, we behove, by American Influence. The completion of the great Slmplon tunnel was the accomplishment of an other great engineering feat, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Port land, Ore., presented to the world a record of achievement In all lines. Great disasters have been fewer than usual, though tornadoes In Okla homa and Kansas destroyed more than five hundred lives, and earth quakes, fire and railway wrecks have done their dread work.
