WILLIAMS PROCLAMATION.

BERLIN, June l8.-The Emperor's
proclamation vas published to-day. II
is as follows:
Proclamation to the Prussian People:
The grave had scarcely closed over
William before Frederick vas called
away. Frederick bore his hard fate
with heroic Christian resignation, and
remained faithful to his kingly duties.
In the few months allotted to him to
rule he exhibited all the noble quail
ties of his mind and heart. His
virtues, his victories in the battle
field will be remembered as long as
German hearts continue to beat, /
have taken the Government upon N.Y.
self, looking upto the King of all Kings
for aid. / pray God that, like my be
loved father, l may be a just and Glenn
ent prince; that l may foster piety and
the fear of God; that l may guard the
peace and promote the welfare Of our
land; that 1 may be the helper Of the
poor ana distressed; the firm guardian
or the right, and that I may ever
thrive in the execution of my kingly
duties in unison with nay people. who.
in good and in evil days, have stood
true to their Kings. l count upon the
fidelity of my people in the conscious
ness that l shall return it heartily as a
true prince to a true people, both
equally ready to make sacrifices for the
~fatherland. l derive confidence from
this belief. 1 pray God to lend to me
strength and wisdom to discharge my
kingly office for the welfare Of the faith
erland.

On the morning of the Goth Mrs.
Josephine Marck, living in q tenement
house in Allegheny city, Penna., ad-
mlnlstered% strychnine to her three chill
dren, aged Z, 4 and 8 years respectively,
and then swallowed a large dose of the
poison herself. In less than three
hours the two Oldest children and the
mother were dead, and the youngest in
the throes of commissions with no hopes
OF recovery. The motive for the deed
Is not known, but it Is supposed to
have been anger, because her husband

his wife. Mrs. Marck was 26 years old.
John Staff committed suicide in the

O'Clock this afternoon q fire. Origina-
ting in the Baker House, near the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Rail-
road depot, speedily devastated an area
over n mile Ii length aud from a
quarter to half a mile In width.
The loss is estimated at from half to
a million dollars, and about 1000 peo-
pie are homeless. destitute and in need
of Immediate relief. A gale OF wind
swept the fire along the streets like a
cyclone. Families residing half q mile
from the origin Of the fire barely had
time to escape with their lives and the
wearing apparel they had on.
From Long street southwark two
squares depth are burned out to Oberly
block, thence north on Courtney street
to the Nicholson Hotel, which is also
destroyed, and east Of Courtney street
is burned a swath half q mile in width.

CIrcling southwark another scope, fully
q quarter of a mile square, was swept

In a town Of 1000 people John E.
Dubois and Bell, Lewis 4 Yates are
The only stores remaining. Out OF
"a hotels four remain. The Ddiiy C0a-
rier and Weekly cypress Offices are
destroyed. Groups of homeless citizens
are gathered in the suburbs, where
they mournfully guard what they have
grasped in their flight. and are camping
out for the night. The sky is clear and
weather pleasant.
A fire engine arrived from ReI ovo,
but was too late to be Of service. Tho
insurance is very light. The Metho-
dists and Evangelical churches were
destroyed. 1t is rumored that two
persons persisted in the flames, but the
report has not been verified.
A majority of the sufferers are en-.
tirely without means to buy food,
clothing, or provide fer shelter. Many
heads of families are wandering abOut
almost crazed with the thought of their
utter desolation and helplessness.

Mans Probable Place in the Universe.

I dreamed ! stood, one solemn night,
Within the courts Elysian;
Ny yes were ravished with ths sight
OF the celestial vision.
1 climbed the ramparts of the skies,
Those ramparts gray and hoary;
/ saw great heights on heights arise
Through mists of golden glory.
Tall angels wandered to and fro,
Upon whose radiant faces
Sickness and pain, and want and wee,
Had left no mournful traces.
Compared with them, l was the bush
To the tall tree and stately;
They put my e%arth-born pride to blush,
They lowered DER man so greatly.
What wonder that the skies should be
Full of such glorious creatures;
Children of climes so grand and free,
With heaven In all their featuresi
oh, man, vain man, subdue thy pridei
The heaven could live without thee;
Thy good, thy III, are not so wide
They jar the spheres about thee.
Shouldst thou e'er pass away and die,
Think not the worlds would miss thee
Some seraph fair might breath q sigh
Perchance might bend and kiss thee. 1.
But that were all-still would roll on,
With countless orbs attendant,
The mighty spheres around the Throne,
With angel shapes respondent.

Tariff Question Before the
Senate.
The House Makes the Pacific
Telegraph Bill a Special
Order.
Mr.. COrcoran'S Chances Small
for Recovery--Reelassing
Postmasters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The senate
in secret session to-day listened to the
reading of the fishery treaty, and then
for an hour there ensued an earnest but
unsuccessful struggle to make it public.
The lead in this matter was taken by
Senator Frye, who is anxious that his
constituents shall be informed authOrita-
lively as to what they have to hope for
from the matter. The motion was gal-
lantly supported and would have been
successful but for the discovery that
the senate is pOwerless in the face of
its own rules to do what it desires. To
publish the document now would re-
quire change of rules, and to make a
change, or even to discuss proposal
to make change, requires a
days notice. Hence, as the matter
is expected to come from Ottawa
within a day or two, the senate con-
tents it self with sending the treaty to
the public printer Ito be printed in
confidence" The provisions of the
document are said to be very much as
the papers have already stated them.
That which seems to have fastened it
self most firmly upon the senatorial
memory as the hasty reading was pro-
crossing, is the provision that the priv
ilege of going into Canadian ports to
buy bait shall be withheld by Canada
unless the United States congress
passes laws for the free admission of
fish and oil. The document is COM
mented upon by one side as practically
cOnceding that the Canadian contention
has been correct as to the interpreta-
tiOn of the treaty of 1918. Upon the.
other hand senators friendly to the ad
ministration express the opinion that
all has been accomplished by the de-
partment that could be expected, and
that a quarrel which has lasted over
half century has thus been brought to
an end

and the lumber shows it, but the chaos
IS complete. Where houses have been
torn aSunder and swept away, and the
tlmberS scattered hither and thither,
there is 20 the eye the desolation that is
presented by a row of mansions with the
sides
ST1PPED OFF TIE ROOFS,
carried away and the upper floors, laid
nat down upon the parlorS below, yet
supporting what shows plainly was a
tidy chamber. but now strewn with
rubbish. or at many places only por-
tlc0 or steps and foundation wall ana
cellar, covered by Swaying floor, sup
porting all that is left of once luxurious
furniture. This is all that is left of
East Mount Vernon, the ruins of luxury.
Then the cloud bounded away through
the woodland and over the prairie to
return no more. The sun came out at
once, and since the destruction the
falreSt weather has frightened the
gloom, the dead were laid away, and
the wounded were carefully cared for.
The able corps of physicians that re-
sponded to the first call were quickly
organized. and all day long moved from
place TO place. The shock to many has
been terrible, and outside of breaks and
bruises the physicians still have been
required. A complete list of dead and
wounded has not yet been compiled.
The property loss will aggregate nearly
over half million dollars, and falls
heavily upon a thriving community.
The following is list of the largest
losers, though the heaviest losers are
the hundred poor, who lost all.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The delega-
tiOns from the Western cities are as
busy as bees tonight striving to secure
the honor of entertaining the next ma
tiOnal Democratic convention. The
three principal delegations-Chica
st. Louis and San Francisco-are all 10
Gated at Wizards hotel, and all claim
to be confident of success. All three
unite in declaring that the convention
will go West, and assert that the Gin
cinnati people realize that their fight is
almost hopeless one. Of the three
delegations San Francisco is the most
enthusiastic, and it is admitted by the
st. Louis delegation that tonight the
talk runs toward the Pacific coast, but
they assert that this is due to the eX-
travagant promises that are being made.
The Chicago delegates are the Quietest,
but their plan of campaign is well de-
fined, and each committee does what is
allotted to it and reports to head
quarters without making much
noise. Naturally the rival dele
cations are unwilling to say

their expectations. When asked if they
would have eighteen votes, Mr.. Tarpey,
the San Francisco representative, said:
"Yes, we will have more than that"
The st. Louis people say they expect
to be well up with the procession, and
Chicago is evidently feared by the
others. From the best analysis possible
it would seem that San Francisco ex-
poets all the country west of the Rocky
mountains and number of votes in the
South. 1t is conceded that Chicago will
have the votes of New England with
the exception of Prince, of Massachu-
sets, who is in favor of st. Louis. This,
together with the Northwest and some
support from the. central section, will
give the Lake City good showing to
start off with and it expects to add
enough votes to secure the convention
after ballot or two of ''filial respect
is given by committeeman to their re-
Spective cities. st. Louis strength will
come from the Mississippi valley and

and it is said that some of the Southern
states favor st. Louis as second choice

POSTMASTERS.
A Bill to Reclassify and Rear.
RANGE Their Salaries.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.--Representa-
tive BlOunt, of Georgia, to-day intro
duced in the house bill providing for
a reclassification of postmasters and a
Encouragement of salaries. Under its
terms, with the exception OF the cities
of New York and Washington, where the
postmasterS' salaries are fixed at $1,000
and 5000, respectively, postmasters are
to be divided into three classes. according
to the revenues of their offices. In first
class offices, where the gross receipts
are between $4,000 and S6O,OOO, the
salaries range from $500 to $1,000. In
the second class, where the gross re-
eeiptS are between 1,500 and $50, 600, the
salaries are to range between s., 900 and
$500. The salaries of these two classes
are to be paid out of the receipts of
their offices. PoStmasterS of the third
class. which includes all not covered by
the other two classes, are to receive in
addition to the commissions on the
money order and special delivery busi-
ness, compensation based upon the
receipts of their offices from all quar-
ters ranging from the whole amount
where the receipts are less than $50 up
to SLIT per quarter. Arrangements are
made for an annual adjustment of sal
aries for the allowance of expenses of
rent, light and fuel, clerk hire, furni-
ture and incidentalS at first and second
class offices.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-Mr. Hoar
offered resolution which was agreed
to, ordering that on Wednesday next
the farewell address of Washington be
read to the senate by the presiding
officer at the conclusion of the morning
business. Mr.. Voorhees, suggested that
after the reading an adjournment of the
senate should be provided for. He
thought that that would be proper
mark of respect for the day. MIR. Hoar
remarked that that would be within
the power of the senate.
The bill to incorporate the Washing

from the calendar for consideration.
An amendment reported by the COM

the rails to be of American manufact-
ure, Mr.. Edmunds suggested informally
and in low tone of voice, that that
was in opposition to the presidents
message and at variance with all the
principles OF the administration. 1t
was formally opposed by Mr.. Vance as
unusual in bill of this character and
altogether absurd. Mr.. Edmunds, in
order to have the votes of senators
placed on the record on this indirect
tariff question, demanded the yeas and

The Drive-WeIi Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2O.-A decision
was rendered in the United States SUI
preme court to-day upon the application
for rehearing of the case of William
u. Andrews and others az ainst George
Hogue, which is widely known as the
drive-well case.'' This court held that
the patent issued to Nelson w. Green
in 1871 for an improvement in the
method of constructing artesian wells
was invalid because the invention COW
cred by it was in public use more than
two years before Green applied for
patent. The court, after an exhaustive
review of the whole case, adhereS to its
decision and denies the application for
arehearing. a Opinion by Judge Blatch-
