Mrs. Custer is going to the Far
West to spend the summer, to gather
new material for new book.
Octave Thanet is writing a story of
youthful life in Arkansas, in the New
York World. The name of the story
is awe ALL"
A poem called "The Light of the
World is to succeed "The Light of
Asia" from the pen of Sir Edwin
Arnold, now at work in Toxic. Its
subject will be the life and teachings
Of Christ.
Speaking Of Sir Edwin Arnold's
Arnold's life in Japan, recent Wis
itor to that country says: "He was
so charmed with Yokohama, when he
arrived there few months ago, that
he determined to live in the native
quarters for a time. He had no
sooner selected a residence than the
governor ordered him to move to the
foreign quarters at once. Acting on
the advice of friends, Sir Edwin sent
back word that he was sick. That
excuse as excepted, and the English
man was not bothered for some time.
After awhile Sir Edwin was sum-
moned before the governor, who
asked him if he had not recovered his
health. The distinguished visitor re-
piled that he had hired himself out as
tutor in a rich japanese family.
The governor was satisfied. Every
day the author can be seen teaching
the young Japs how to spell dog
'cat,' house, etc. His salary is
5000 a year, but by playing servant
he can live where chooses.
Jean Ingelow, who it is said has for
years been victim to the demands
OF the autograph collector, has de-
cided upon plan by which she hopes
to satisfy the demands with credit to
the collector thereof. She has made
large number Of copies of her IA

the hands Of her publishers, Roberts
Brothers Of Boston, to be sold at So

restoring and repairing the old Law

in which fund she has long been in

copied with great neatness and care.

AN APPALLING AFFLIcTIoN.
The House of Secretary Tracy Burned

Perish in the Flames.

The House OF Secretary Tracy Burned
and His Wife and Daughter
Perish in the Flames.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The house
Of Secretary Tracy caught fire at 6:45 this
morning and was completely destroyed.
The fire was discovered at Gas by pass
ers-by, who gave the alarm to the butler.
That party claims to have aroused all the
inmates, but none Of them escaped without
injuries and three lives were lost Mary,
the youngest daughter, and . French
maid were burned to death and Mrs.
Tracy received injuries from smoke and
jumping out of window that were fatal
The Secretary was rescued in an uncon-
scious condition, but it is thought that he
will recover. Mrs. Wilmerding, eldest
daughter Of the Secretary, and little girl
Alice escaped by jumping from second
story windows.
Secretary Tracy's house is q three-story
and basement brick, and has recently un-
dergone extensive improvements
Persons passing the house at O'Clock
this morning saw smoke issuing from the
front windows, and at once raised an alarm
OF fire, and the fire and police departments
responded promptly. The premises were
| almost concealed by the dense smoke,
which was thickened by the heavy fog,
| which was just lifting.
1t was soon discovered that the house
was all ablaze inside and that the main
| stairway was burnt, thus cutting OF COM
| munication with the sleeping apartments
on the second and third floors. Several
streams Of water were played on the
flames and every effort was made to check
the fire and to rescue the occupants.
A scene Of widest confusion ensued
when it was known that all the members
Of the family were in the house. The fro
men behaved like heroes in the emergency
| and went through fire and smoke in search
/ ing for them in the different apartments.
Mrs. Wilmerding, the Secretary's daugh-
ter and Miss Wilmerding forced their way
| through the binding smoke and jumped
from a second story window at the front
Ladders were raised for them, but in their
excitement they failed to see them. Mrs.
Wilmerding sprained her left wrist and
was severely bruised.
Her daughter was badly injured in the
lower limbs, but broke no bones. They
both suffered severely from the shock.
They were taken at once to the residence
Of DR.. Baxter, near by, and restoratives
applied.
Owing to the sad event, the President
and Mrs. Harrison have recalled invita-
| uons to the state dinner in honor Of the
Supreme Court on Thursday next
The remains of Mrs. Tracy and Miss
| Tracy lie to night in caskets in the center
of the East room Of the White House be-
meath crystal chandeliers, whose light less
than a week ago shone upon them IS they
xayly greeted their numerous friends .,

An Internal Machine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-This after.
teruoon q startling discovery was made in
the rotunda of the capitol. In one of the
spit toons was found small box, the size
of silver dollar and an inch thick. 1t was
filled with a dull looking compound, with
cap and fuse attached. A test of the con-
tents showed it was an explosive Of high
power. The object of the author is un-
known.
Tho rumor current to-day that q dyna
mite bomb was found in tho capitol
proves to have slight foundation. A small
oval shaped tin box was found in a spit
toon in the rotunda. The chief of tho capitol
police examined it and found several
grains of substance resembling salt
petrc and n small quantity of something
that looked like punk. He found that Sae
latter would burn. He concluded that the
oox was u railroad torpedo, but to settle
The matter he has soot It to the district

DESTRUCTIVE AvALANcHEs.
Great Loss to Life and Property in
The Northwest,

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Feb. g.
The town Of Burke, Idaho, In the Cnur
d'Alene mining district, has been nearly
DESTROYED by disastrous avalanches. Half
the business houses are in ruins.
Three men were killed and the terror.
stricken Inhabitants have fed to the towns
OF Gem and Wallace, fearing repetition
Of the disaster
Particulars are meager, as the wires 10
all points in the mines have gone down,
leaving no means of communication
The disasters occurred yesterday after
noon AID this morning. With scarcely a
moments warning q tremendous mass of
snow and rocks swept upon the town from
the west side Of the narrow gulch in which
1t is situated.
Five men were buried beneath the snow.
Two were rescued, but the others are
dead and their bodies have not yet been
recovered.
The Inflated town lies in narrow
gulch, through which Canyon Creek pours
its waters into the south fork Of tho C9ur
D'Alene. 1t had about two hu ndred in
habitants, who have deserted their wrecked
or menaced homes and places Of business.
The nearest town is Gem, also upon Can
yon Creek, and three miles down the
stream
Yesterday another disastrous avalanche
swept down upon . boarding house con-
nected with the Custer mine, which is sit
usted upon Nine Mile Creek, about five
miles from Burke. The boarding house
was full OF miners, six Of whom were
killed. Others had narrow escape, and
q number were more or less injured.
The disasters are not surprise to those
familiar with the topography of that sec
ton- The towns arc situated in very mar
row gulches, on either side of which abrupt
q ountains rise.
Na..snow-fall this winter has been un.
precedcGted in the history OF the country.
Within the last few days it has been rain
ing hard, which had the effect Of loosening
the deep snow banks and precipitating
them upon the town and houses below.
Ldtcr-Later reports from Burke indi-
cate that no lives were lost there. MIR
and Mrs. Wise and Jack Wait and wife
were buried in snow slide, but all were
rescued with slight injury
At tho Custer mine, however, the dis
astcr WAS worse than at first reported.
Six men were killed outright Among
thcse were Jack Ga!brai,h, foreman OF the
mine; Mike Flynn, cook, and Tom Ma
honey, young miner.
Forty men arc employed at the mine in
two shifts, and one shift was below and
the other WAS eating dinner ut the time
the avalanche rushed upon the boarding
house.

DURANGO. Colo, Feb. 6.-The Ma
vaio trouble or prospective uprising Is un-
changed as far rs known tonight.
Many of the old residents OF Southwest
Colorado and Northern New Mexico, who
are familiar with the Navajo Indians, say
they have no fears OF an uprising, as the
better counsel Of the old men, who escaped
In the terrible war when the tribe was
nearly wiped out apparently is against
moro trouble with the blue coats.
A courier arrived late last night from
Farmington, New Mexico, and brough, n
letter from +. l.. Pierce, merchan: OF
that place.
MIR. Pierce says reports have been circu-
lated to the effect that the Indians had
murdered several people in the last few
days. As far as can be learned there Is no
truth in any of the stories, and Mr.. Pierce
believes there will not be any trouble. He
admits, however, that the braves have
armed themselves and congrcgated in
force, making threats that unless the fam
lily Of the Indian killed in the trouble u
few weeks ago is reimbursed with either
money or ponies they will kill every white
IN that section.
II 10 . well-known fact that about ten
days ago q band Of twenty Ave bucks went
to Jcwett and entered the store of white.S &
Green while Mr.. White wns in Durango.
Mrs. Green being alone, tho Indians raised
. big war cry and made all kinds OF threats
but finally went away without melcsting
any one.
Tho young bucxs are reported anxious
to fight, but arc restrained by tho older
members Of the tribe, who still rcmem-
Dor the Navajo war Of 1863, when tho tribe
was nearly extcrminated by tho Govern
ment.
Referring to tho present trouble One.
Eyed Pete, an old chief, said to white
man: "Me no want fight, but young bucks
want TO fight"
It is claimed by the oldest settlers and
those best acquainted with the Navajo
tribc, that there viii be no serious trouble
notwithstanding the threats now being
made, as tho Navajo horses are very poor
at this season Of tho year, and tho old
bucks, remembering tho whipping they re-
ccivcd nearly thirty years ago, may keep
them subducd. But they will try to scare
tho whitos into paying the 500 or ten head
OF horses.
Frank Quinn, who brought tho news to
Durango last evening, is u farmer, living
Ave milcs this sido Of fFarmington. Ho was
considerably excited and predicted serious
trouble unless something was done to ap.
pease tho Indians.
