BAD FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.

The Western Union Building Ruined and
Several Firms Burned Out.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. S.-Shortly before
8 a. m. fire broke out in the basement of
the Western Union Telegraph building,
on the corner of Olive and Third street.
The fire soon assembled through the air
shaft from the first to the top floors,
and burned tercely. The wires are
a total wreck. The firemen were greatly
hindered by the mass of sleet laden
wires.
The following firms have been burned
out: Daily Printing company, Allen &
Ginter Cigarette company, Bradley Print
ing and Roller Paper company. The
Western Union office will be a complete
wreck. The Associated Press Office is
destroyed.
AT $3.50 the fire was under control and
active efforts were made by the Western
Union company to restore communica-
ton. Business on the Stock Exchange
was badly delayed. Several of the in
mates of the telegraph Office had narrow
escapes but all reached the ground in

FROM EATING DISEASED PORK.

Hundreds of Gases of Trichinosis Dsvel-
oped in Mower County, Minnesota.
AUSTIN, MIMI, Jan. S.-A number OF
people are still very sick with trichinosis
at Brownsville, this township. The total
number of sufferers is about $50, but
only seven or eight are dangerously ill.
A few days before Christmas a farmer
named Schreck slaughtered four hogs
and invited a number of his friends to
dinner. Thirty-three people ate the
meat and a few days later all were taken
sick. Other families had been given
pieces of the meat and soon an alarming
state of things prevailed, nearly the en-
tire community being more or less
affected. A local physician declared
that the people were suffering from
trichinosis, but no one thought of serious
consequences until Mr.. Schreck's 10.
year-old boy died. Then physicians
from this place were called in and the
people became convinced that the trouble
vas a serious one. The doctors say it
will be some days before the disease will
develop itself SO that they can foreteD
the outcome.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The arrival of
two sets of Montana senators here will
present a problem to the United States
senate which that body has never been
called upon to decide. There has never
before been a contrasting senatorial dele
cation, and no precedent has been estab-
lished. The mode of procedure in these
cases, as suggested by senate leaders, is
that when the Montana senators arrive
they will present their credentials to Vice
President Morton. Before either set is
sworn in objection will be made on ac-
count of the irregularity of the creden-
tials. The matter will then be referred
to the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, and a full and thorough investiga-
ton will be made. Nothing of the kind
has yer been done before. but the SEN
ate leaders have determined upon this
mode of procedure. 1t is possible that
the matter will be referred to the whole
senate for investigation, but as there will
be considerable testimony to examine it
is more likely that the committee will ex-
anime the cases.

IRELAND WILL BE CARDINAL.
The Statement Reiterated IL Emphs

The Statement Reiterated and Empha-
sized by a Milwaukee Correspondent.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 1.-THE report sent
last Friday that Archbishop Ireland, of
st. Paul, was to be made a cardinal is
being denied on all sides. The informa-
ton, however, comes from asoarce more
reliable than the sources of the denials.
The fact remains, despite all contradic-
tons, that information from Rome has
been received in Milwaukee that the
pope has fully decided to make Arch
bishop Ireland a cardinal. Whether the
honor is to be conferred right away or a
year hence is not stated. The reason for
thus honoring Archbishop Ireland in
preference to many older p~relates than
he, will be plain to any one who will
study the situation. Archbishop Ireland
to-day represents the American senti-
ments in Catholicism better than any
other prelate in this country, excepting
Cardinal Gibbons. Ireland is a progress
sive, liberal prelate, yet one thoroughly
devoted to the church, and his appoint
ment, as the pope has before this learned,
will greatly strengthen Catholicism in
this country.

Elevator Companies Want G%ilt-edged Sc
curity for Every Grain of 1t.
BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 8.-The joint
seed wheat committee of the two houses
held a joint meeting. Governor Miller
was present. The plan of supplying
needy farmers with seed grain has not
been fully settled. The elevator con
panies have agreed to furnish the grain,
and take individual security, in accord
ance with the wishes of Governor Miller
and the committee. There is a hitch,
however, as to the kind of security that
a be and ought to be given. The ele.
vators want a tax on the farm land and
endorsed notes. The attorney generals
of North Dakota and Minnesota will be
called upon for a method of taxation Sc
curity. If a plan is devised by which
satisfactory individual security can be
given legislation will be shaped accord
ingly. There is a growing determination
here to secure the necessary grain with
out bonding the state OF the various
counties. The elevator companies claim
to be willing to meet this view of the
case, but insist upon having sufficient

The President Will Issue His Proclama-
tion Opening the Sioux Reservation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The president
has determined to open the Sioux reser-
walton by proclamation before the I'd of
March, when the act of the last congress
will expire by limitation. The report of
the commission was submitted to the
president Monday. The president sent
for Gen. Crook and discussed the matter
at great length. He told the general
that he had been somewhat confused by
the two acts Of congress which provided
for the negotiations, but had been con
WINGED that it was the intention of con
gress that the proclamation should be
issued upon the conclusion of favorable
negotiations. Gen. Crook was of the
same opinion and advised that the proc
lamation be issued. Secretary Noble
and the South Dakota delegation are of
the same opinion, and with the advice of
Gen. Crook there seems to be no doubt
of favorable action by the president.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-The Quadri-cen-
tennial committee of the senate, of which
Mr.. Hiscock is chairman, began its hear
ings Wednesday. There were present
Senators Hiscock, Gray, Wilson of Iowa,
Farwell, Eustis, Hawley, Stanford,
Kenna, Cameron and Vest.
The st. Louis delegation was given the
first hearing. Among the prominent
members of the delegation present were:
Hon. d. R. Francis. governor of Mis-
souri,; E. o. Stanard, Charles II. Jones,
G. c. Rainwater, George Balm, E. S.
Rowse, Nathan Cole, Thomas c.

The chairman stated that there wa no
limit to speeches, but that it was gen.
orally expected that no city would re-
luire more than an hour and n half and
that all replies would be filed with the
committee in writing.
GOVERNOR FRANCIS SPEAKS FIRST.
Governor Francis first addressed the
committee. He spoke of the unanimity
of sentiment throughout the United
States in favor of holding an interna-
tional exposition commemorative of the
discovery of America. He said that st.
Louis made no sectional plea. He
thought that this question should be
raised above the plane of sectionalism.

Jones, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of st. Louis. Mr.. Jones explained
at length the advantages of location
possessed by st. Louis. He had nothing
to say in di~sparagement of any city.
st. Louis had put in the first claim to
the worlds fair and was the first site
suggested. Mr.. Hiscock said he would
like the St. Louis committee to file a de-
tailed estimate of cost of the number of
buildings needed.
STANARD WANTS MORE YANKEES.
F. o. Stanard, chairman of the finance
committee of st. Louis, said he had a
laudable pride in the progress and devel-
opment of the Mississippi valley within
the last half century. Within the 500
mile radius of st. Louis were the capitals
Of thirteen commonwealth. They would
be loyal to st. Louis if st. Louis should
be made the site Of the worlds fair, just
as st. Louis would b loyal to herself and
to the nation if any other city should be
selected. He dwelt at length on the
central location of st. Louis. No one,
he said, would think of holding a worlds
fair in the extreme West or the extreme
South or North. The actual money
guaranteed by the st. Louisiaps, MI.
Stanard said, now exceeded $4,000, 900,
and subscriptions were coming in at the
rate of $4,000 day, while the act of
the city of st. Louis in permitting the
use of Forrest Park as a site was equal
to a subscription of 81, 900, 900 more.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE legisla-

a bill creating a state agricultural society
and locating the annual exhibitions per-
manently at Grand Forks. 1t also &C.

was fairly started on its business Senator
La Moure moved an an adjournment to
give the Republicans a chance to caucus.
In the caucus Senator Winship moved
that the per diem of the senators
during the recess be donated to the
relief fund of the North Dakota suffer-
ers, and be distributed by the commits
sioner of agriculture. Some of the men,
bers objected, and after considerable
parley a resolution that the per diem be
SO distributed, but under direction of the
individual members donating the same.

full investigation of the affairs of the
state showed that the original estimate
was entirely too small. He estimated
the deficiency on March = at S240, 900.
Then he put the pertinent questions: How

remarked that the 5000, 900 limit
will soon be reached. Next he
cited the clause that says no bond
or evidence of Indebtedness shall
be valid unless the same shall be
endorsed by the auditor and secre-
tary of state, showing that it is issued
pursuant to law and within the debt
limit. The governor thought 1t clear
that when the limit is reached the state
officers have no mean of providing for
the maintenance of the state or state in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on territories held a meeting
for the purpose of taking final action on
the bill for the admission of the terri
tories of Idaho and Wyoming into the
