FOR -FOUR NEW STATES
Senate and House COnferees
Reach an Agreement ON the
Omnibus Bill.
Two Dakotas, Montana and Washing
ton to Come in by Presidential
Proclamation.
Date for Holding Constitutional COnven.
lions Is May 15-RumOrs Of
Presidential Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The conferees
on the omnibus territorial bill have
reached an agreement. Mr.. Barnes, of
the house conferees, refused to sign the
report. AS agreed upon, the report
omits New Mexico from the bill, divides
Dakota into two states, and admits Mon
tana and Washington as states. All are
to be admitted by proclamation by the
president, and the senators and repre-
sentatives are to take their seats in con-
gress next December. The date of
elections for constitutional conventions
in the several territories is May 10Th.
The constitutional conventions in all
the territories are to NEE. on July 4, as
originally provided. But the conssitu
lions thus framed and the Sioux Falls
constitution if that be adopted in South
Dakota, are all to be submitted to the
people of the respective territories for
ratification or rejection on the first Tues
day in October instead of the November
election, as provided in Springer's Till.
The report will be presented to the SEN
ate and house at the first opportunity.
There is rumor that the president may
veto the bill.

Wednesday, February Is.

SENATE.
Several more important bills went in
the senate files, but aside from the intro
duction Of bills very little was done.
One of the measures is municipal cleo

and is almost an exact copy of what is
known as the ''Sexton bill" Mr.. Good

and immoral purposes. Another of the
bills defines adultery, and provides that
each of the persons committing that
crime shall be sent to the states prison
for two years or fined in the sum of $500.
No prosecution for adultery shall be
commenced, however, except on the
complaint of the husband or wife of one
of the guilty parties.
Mr.. Halvorson introduced a bill in
amendment of the timber culture land.
1t provides that any person who shall
plant from one to ten acres of land with

Friday, February Is.

SENATE.
Five of the ten bills introduced in the
senate are designed to make requisition
upon the eXchequer of the state for var
ious amounts for divers purposes.
Among the bills which do not call for
appropriations is one introduced by Sen
ator Ives to prohibit pool selling on horse
trots, base ball games, elections and
other contests. The bill, however, con-
tains one quite important exception. 1t
does not apply to trials of speeds in this
state at agricultural fairs or during asso-
citation meetings where the object is the
improvement of the breed of horses. Mr..
Wood puts in bill to regulate veterin-
ary practice in the state, somewhat SIM
liar in it's provisions to one that has been
heretofore introduced. A bill put in by
MIR. Whiteman declares it unlawful for
insurance companies to buy and sell
land. Mr.. Ke1lar put in bill placing
district agricultural fairs within the
purview of the agricultural society law,
and Mr.. Durant one to repeal the ACT
passed at the last session to restrict the
ownership of real estate to American
citizens.
The senate wound up its proceedings
with a brief executive session, in which
the appointment OF .. w. Shaw, OF
Owatonna, to the state pubic school
board was confirmed.
SENATE BILLS PAssED-To provide that
the affidavit of the secretary OF the state
historical society shall be sufficient evil
dence of the publication OF notices:
To prevent the improper wearing of
Grand Army and Loyal Legion badges.

HARTFORD's HOTEL HORROR.

Scores of Guests Buried in the Ruins of
the Park Central House---Twenty Taken
Out Dead and Ten Injured.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Feb. 19.-The boiler
in the Park Central hotel, this city, blew
up with terrific force at o'clock a. M,
totally wrecking the entire front Of the
structure and
BURYING FIFTY PEOPLE
or more. The cause of the accident is
not at present known, but it is supposed
to have resulted from the explosion of
the boilers in the basement and, from
the havoc created in adjoining buildings.
the explosion theory seems the most
probable. Every window in the Earl
house, right across Allyn street, was
broken and the walls were smashed in
many places. The noise of the fall
aroused the whole city, and in a very
few minutes a large crowd surrounded
the scene. 1t was sight of horror, and
one that will never be forgotten by the
spectators. Flames completely envel-
Oped the ruins and the shrieks of the
wounded and dying rose high above the
hoarse shouts of the firemen and the
noise of the engines. which had been
summoned by an alarm sent in from the
fire department..
1t is the most horrible catastrophe that
has ever been known in Hartford, and
when the list of dead and wounded is
completed, it will be found to be a horror
equal to any that has taken place within
the last half century. 1t is believed that
NOT LESS THAN FIFTY ARE DEAD,
but it cannot be definitely stated, as the
night clerk, MIR. Terry. is among the
missing and his books are destroyeI.
Nearly all the help employed in the
hotel were saved. They occupied the
sleeping apartments in the east wing
of the annex. which was only partly
wrecked by the explosion. Some forced
their way out themselves, others were
helped out. The entire main section of
the hotel was gone,
ONLY PILE OF DEBRIS
remaining. The scenes about the ruins
were horrible. In the center of the spot
where the building stood were a man,
his wife and little girl. No help could
get to them and they finally
FELL BACK INTO THE FLAMES
and died in plain sight of the spectators.
The little one cried for help, but the man
and woman uttered not a word, but EN-
braced in each others arms, and
MET DEATH BRAvELY.
Away out near the annex the shrieks Of
a woman caused the blood of the people
looking on to turn cold as they saw a
young girl lying with her body half
across a beam, a look of agony on her
face. Finally the support fell and she
DISAPPEARED FROM SIGHT.
Owing to the destruction of the register
of the hotel the names of many Of the
guests cannot be ascertained. The cat
astrophe is generally supposed to have
been caused by an explosion of the
boiler. although some doubt has been ex-
pressed on this point, as the building had
been popularity supposed to be unsafe.
1t was built on made ground. The
