CAUSTIC COMMENT.
Judge Fdgerton Writes an Open Letter
to the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Judge Edgerton,
who was recently removed from office on
the civil service commission, has written
an open letter to the president. He says
among other things: 81 was indebted to
you for the only appointive office | ever
held. You now declare by your action
that you regret my acceptance. Your re-
gret was never made known to me by you
in any word or utterance or action until
now at the close of your administration
and on the day before my removal. l
suppose there were prudential political rea-
sons why you did not make the removal
until after the election. In this regard,
it would almost seem as though you were
willing to play false with the Mugwumps
to enable you to win with Democrats.
The result of the election placed you in a
dilemma, from which few people would
have known how to extricate themselves.
You found man on your hands whom
Mugwumps had dsclared war upon, an
enemy to their civil service reform theo-
ries and your plan of becomingtheir rep
resentative in the future would not be
weakened if any assurance of your tidel-
ity to their cause could be secured. Ac-
cordingly it appears you decided upon the
removal OF the head of the commission,
and deeming Thompson good English
Mugwump for them you therefore de-
manded my resignation, that you might
appoint him, APPARENTLY as atonement
for your previous aess.on. M. President,
with the courtesy to the high Office you
hold, allow me to say that you are very
peculiar man, positively wrong, or posi-
lively right, and therefore anIunwise man
to trust; and that element in your charac-
ter, l believe, led to your defeat. Pope
says, "the most positive are most cred
ulous, since they most believe themselves
and advise with their fellow hatterers and
worst enemies" Being one of that kind
of positive men yourself, you have some
men of like character around you, who
are positive only in their malice and con-
ceit." The judge says: 'There is moth
ing a man will not believe in his own fa-
vor. You were credulous to believe you
were elected president by Mugwumps and
therefore you permitted them to malign
your real friends, and to Aatter you in a
policy which led to your defeat You are
a man who would not permit your real
friends to admonish you with freedom and
confidence, and the result you have suf-
fered from want of friends; and your
wrecked and wretched greatness has dis
covered that there is no true success in
life without the power and blessings of
friendship"
Judge Edgerton then contrasts his own
removal with the removal of President
Cleveland by the people. He concludes
with criticism of another civil service COM
missioner whom he does not call by name.

Bandit Bellies Book.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-Adyices from the
Indian territory say that the journal or
diary of Belle Starr, the noted female
bandit, has been obtained from the Starr
ranch. Belle Starr intended to publish it
as an autobiography. The matter con-
tained therein is replete with thrilling
incidents and personal adventures, but
the most remarkable features of all are
certain disclosures concerning crimes in
Texas and the Indian territory, which will
tend to prove that innocent men have
been sentenced on various occasions. 1t
is also matter of curiosity that the
names of prominent persons are connected
with certain crimes that have been COM
mitted in recent years. Some sketches in
the journal are lively and humorous.

Gen. HarrisOn's Cabinet.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-The talk of the
town has been the visit of Mr.. Window
to Gen. Harrison. The ex-secretary came
by request of the general. 1t is thought
the cabinet is now practically decided
upon, and will contain the names OF
Blaine, Window, Rusk, Thomas Noble,
Warner Miller and Wanamaker.
Neutrality-suspicious. from Indianap-
oils are to the effect that Congressman
John R. Thomas, of Illinois, has been
selected for secretary of the navy. Thomas
declined to confirm or deny the truth OF
the rumor. To friends he said tele-
gram was received in Washington last
night from Sec. Halford, saying he had
been selected. Cullom has telegraphed
Harrison if the report was true it would
please the people in Illinois.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Standards Ber-

stands that the German government !.
disposed to suspend hostilities in Samoa
during the Samoan conference, but only on
condition that estates belonging to Ger
man subjects be vacated by the Samoans
and the boundary lines Of belligerents'
positions be marked and respected. This
can not be done officially, however, be-
cause Germany regards Mataafa as a rebel
leader not as king.

ANOTHER HOLOCAUST.
A Terrible Fire and Many People Burned
to Death

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Feb. 19.-The boiler
of the Park Central hotel blew up early
yesterday morning wrecking the entire
front of the structure, which was five
story brick building. The ruins took fire,
and the work of the tiremen was greatly
impeded by the dense volume of smoke
and steam.
The accident is supposed to have re-
suited from an explosion of the boilers in
the basement. Great havoc was created
in the adjoining buildings, every window
in a house across Allen street being
broken and the walls smashed in in places.
The noise of the fall aroused the whole
city and in few minutes large crowd
was on the street. 1t was sight of
horror. The flames completely enveloped
the ruins. The shrieks of the wounded
and dying rose above the hoarse
notes of the firemen and police.
The following is partial list Of those
believed to be in the ruins: Louis H.
Bronson and wife; M. Wally, editor Ger
man Herald; Andrew J. Whiting and
wife; Dwight H. Buell., jeweler; Yelling
ton Ketcham, proprietor of the hotel,
wife and children; Rev. DR.. Perrin and
wife, secretary Congregational Tract So
ciety; W. Tilotson, commercial traveller
Mr.. Stiles, safe agent; VIM. Seymour and
VIM. Simmer, employed in boiler room
Eddie Boile, employed in hotel; Chas.
M. Webster, insurance agent; Mr.. Pond,
of Indiana. The loss of life is great.
Nearly all the help employed in the ho-
tel were saved. They occupied sleeping
apartment in the annex, which was only
partially wrecked by the explosion.
Some forced their way out and others
were helped out. Scenes about the ruins
were horrible. In the center of the hotel,
the spot where the building stood, were a
man, his wife and little girl, but before
help could reach them they fell back in
the flames and perished in plain sight OF
the spectators. The child cried for help,
but the man and woman uttered no sound,
but embraced in each others arms they
met death bravely. The shrieks of an.

Watermelon Trust.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 19.-The
South Carolina Watermelon alliance has
had meeting at Blackville. Five thous-
and acres of land was represented. The
alliance adopted an agreement pledging
it's members to regulate their acreage ac-
cording to the freight concessions they
could obtain. A committee was appointed
to confer with the railroad officials be-
tween here and New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Baltimore, to report to an
adjourned meeting.
If favorable rates are obtained it is
probable that over 5000 acres will be
planted i'll melons in this state. Other
wise the members are pledged to cut
down their melon farms one-half.

spectators to turn cold as they saw a

Thus far sixteen bodies have been taken
from the ruins; twelve dead and the re-
mainder fatally injured.

Canadian Civil War Threatened,

New YORK, Feb. 2O.-The Herald pub
fishes a sensational dispatch from Mont
real declaring that the Jesuit issue has
reached such stage as to threaten civil
war. The Quebec legislatures action in
awarding indemnity to the church for
property seized early in the century has
aroused the Protestants to anger, and il
the Dominion government sanctions the
measure the Protestants of all the prov
inces will, according to the correspondent,
unite in strong action to prevent the
project being carried out.

ject of international comment, will not
appear before the senate com mittee on
foreign relations, at least not for the
present. He telegraphed to Secretary
Bayard upon his arrival in San Fran
cisco and suggested that he be sum-
moned to testify concerning matters
in Samoa, but the secretary was ad-
vised that the committee did not deem it
polite or polite to take any further steps
in the Samoa matter, pending the result
of the conference to be held in Berlin.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Representative
Cox, who offered so successfully a series
Of instructions to the house conferees on
the territorial bill looking to the imme-
diate admission of south Dakota, has re-
ceived letters from Fargo, Dakota, signed
by Chairman Ryan of the Democratic ter
ritorial committee, thanking him for his
efforts in behalf of statehood for Dakota
and the other territories, and saying that
whether rightly or wrongly the impression
has been created that the Democratic
party is responsible for denying the peo-
pie of Dakota their undoubted right to come
into the union as two states when they
possess all the qualifications. The peo-
pie of Dakota are practically unanimous
in favor of division and statehood; that it
is useless to waste time in taking another
vote on division and asking for statehood
at once and to let the Democratic party
have the credit of giving it to us.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
NO AGREEMENT ON TERRITORIES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The conferees
on the omnibus territory bill were in ses-
sion two hours without coming to con-
clusion. They exchanged views at length
and separated to consider them at another
meeting.
1t is said there are two or three minor
points of disagreements, but that these
may be fixed by concessions from the
senate. For instance, Mr.. Springer is de-
sirous that that at the time there is vote
taken for new state officers, the south
half of Dakota territory shall vote on the
question of temporary capital. The ma
jority Of the Dakotians here have favored
allowing the capital to remain at Huron,
where the last vote located it, but the
friends of other towns like Sioux Falls,
Pierre, Chamberlain, Mitchell, Yankton
and Watertown, have asserted that this
would give Huron an undue advantage in
the race for the permanent capital, and
that the matter should again be submitted
to the vote of the people. Again, it has
been asserted that there was big real
estate scheme i'll the attempt to keep
the capital at Huron, and that such a
plan ought to be discouraged. At Mr..
Platt's request Senator-elect Moody tele-
graphed prominent men all over south
Dakota, and caucus of south Dakota
men in the legislature was held at Bis
marck. For some peculiar reason the
Republicans all favored new deal, while
the Democrats urged the allowing of the
capital to remain at Huron. The letters
and kilograms were all turned over to Mr..
Platt, and the matter will probably be set
tied at the next meeting Mr.. Springer
has conceded so much that the senate
conferees are inclined to give him any
minor amendment he may insist upon,
and it seems probable that is one of the
changes that will be made in the bill.
ARMY AFFAIRS.
The adiutant general of the army has
been informed OF the death at Fort Hays,
Kas., of Col. John E. Yard, of the 18th
infantry. His death will cause the pro-
motion of Lieut.. Col. Henry M. Dazelle,
23d infantry, and Major H. S. Hawkins,
of the 10th infantry.
Senator Cullom introduced an amend
ment to the army appropriation bill pro-
viding that hereafter the number OF pay
masters in the army with the rank OF
major shall be forty, and that the army
shall be paid monthly unless crcum-
stances shall render such payment i'm
practicable.
