HE DALLEs, Or, Sept. 2.-Fire broke
out at l O'Clock this afternoon in Skibb's
restaurant The wind was blowing
gale and the flames spread with great
rapidity. The firemen were tardy in

the flames good Roadway. The
fire communicated to Mrs. Win

A Burning Question in the Sec
ton so Case.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 2.-Another
sensation was sprung to-day in the great
law suit known as the section 80 case.
David T. Ames, the well-known expert,
who testified as to the famous Morey
letter of the Garfield campaign, the
Cadet Whitaker case and the great
Davis will case at Butte, Mont, was
called by the Germania Iron company'S
attorney. He testified that he had eX-
amined mlcroscopically certain Valen-
tine scrip covering the most valuable
forty acres of section so, and found that
In the assignment of the same the name
supposed to be that of Emil Hart
mann, original assignee of the scrip,
had been erased. He said also that he
could restore ink with sulphaIe of am
monia. He applied the test surrounded
by an immense crowd of interested
spectators, but he failed absolutely to
reproduce a single letter. He still
swears positively, however, that an
erasure has been made. Tomorrow he
will be cross-eXamined by James K.
Redington, the famous Washington at
torney, who is also an expert. Great
interest is aroused over this, for if it is
proved that an erasure has been made,
somebody is likely to be arrested. Feel
ing is intense on both sides, and inter-
est in the case is growing greater as it
nears the close.

A report from the buildings and

ton letter was received from Presi-
dent Baker, of the board of directors,
asking the commission to define its po-
sltlon on the subject of an appeal TO
congress for a $5,000,000 loan. The
matter was made a special order for to-
morrow. 1t is proposed to offer the

RUDOLPH AND MARIE.
New Version of the Death OF Aus
tria's Heir.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 2.-The pub
lished stories Of how and for what
reason the demise of the late Crown
Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera
were brought about are so widely differ
ent and far from the truth that Henry
Wilson, of this city, who was in Vienna
at the time Of the sensation, and whose
most Intimate friend was in touch with
the inner workings of Austrian court
life, feels impelled to correct the many
errors. OF course, he says, everybody
knows Of the intimacy existing between
the emperor and the Baroness Vetsera.
This intimacy existed for years. On his
visits to the baroness house the en-
peror was frequently accompanied by
Rudolph. Marie Vetsera was a young
girl when all this happened, and when
about fifteen she, following in the foot
steps of her mother. was captivated by
the prince and also fell from grace, and
this intimacy was carried on to the time
OF the tragedy.
On the day of the tragedy hunt was
in progress at MeyerIing. Among the
guests was Prince Auersperg. The lat
ter had a beautiful sister, whom the
crown prince sometime previous had
succeeded in getting into his meshes,
and when this fact was revealed to the
Iainily or AuerSperg, which is one of
the most influential in Austria. the
prince vowed vengeance, and the OPP
portunity came OH the day of the hunt.
The crown prince and Prince Auer-
sperg were in hot pursuit of game, when
shot rang through the air and the
crown prince fell to the ground. When
the courtiers appeared on the scene he
was beyond help. He was carried to
Meyerling. A mutual friend of the
crown prince and Marie Vetsera dis
patched a messenger to the latter.
Marie, upon hearing the news, drove
forthwith to Meyerling. There, at Ru-
dolph's bedside, she either shot or poi
soned herself. Prince Auersperg had
embraced the golden opportunity to
avenge his sisters dishonor.

her report. She said III part: "When

cally an independent body. Then we
did not know whefe the money for our
work was to come from. Now we have
received appropriations. We have been
given complete control of the w0maHs
building and those affairs which natur-
ally come within the Woman'S depart
ment. Salaries have been voted to our
otlicers-$5,000 per annum has been
proffered the president and s., 900 to the

kindly feeling toward US by assuring us
that in case congress refuses to give us
appropriations, we must not give up,
but may continue as a board" Mrs.
Palmer then reviewed her European
trip and its results.
After adjourning the ladies visited
Jackson park and saw the work in
progress there, paying special attention
to the woman's building, which is fur
ther advanced than any other.

MORA, Minu.. Sept "A posse of
Chippewa braves appeared in open
court before Judge f. Nj. Crosby this
morning, and were examined with the
intention of renouncing their tribal re-
lations. customs and habits and becom-
ing full-fedged citizens. They be-
longed to the Knife River band of the
Mile Laos tribe, and were headed by
Jim Chesley, their cheief. Eight of
them were admitted to citizenship, and
their chief object in renouncing their
tribal relations is to obviate their re-
moval from White Earth. They are
much attached to the locality, where
some of them have resided for great
many years, and rather than TO be re-
moved they have abandoned their
aboriginal customs and adopted those
of the whites with view to improving
their conditions. Chief Chesley holds
the deed to tract of land bordering on
Knife lake from the St. Paul & Duluth
Railway company, and 1t will now be
the aim OF these of his band who have
become citizens TO secure land adjoin-
ing this.

FLEECING THE PILGRIMS.
A Sight of the Holy Coat Under
Difficulties.

TREvEs. Sept. 2.-The holy-coat pill
grims have to undergo irritating hard
ships during their stay in this city. The
weather is so warm that living in the
ordinary manner would be sufficiently
uncomfortable, but it is made much
more so by the way the people are
erowding together. Two or three beds
i'll one small room is the rule, bat in
some cases 1t is worse. For accommo-
dation OF this kind the charge is four
shillings night. Food is about three
times the usual price, and all sorts of
souvenirs from the holy coat are on sale
in all materials, from gold to wood.
Every second house is a restaurant or a
beer saloon, And one beer house bears
the name Of "The Holy Coat Of Treves."
The receipts from the pilgrims who
have come to view the holy coat exceed
expectations. While a large share of
the money is to be USED for the repair
ing of the cathedral, the greater share
will probably be handed over to the
pope.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Moses P. Handy,
of the Chicago Worlds fair commits
sion, has favored the press with an i'll
terview as to his European experiences.
Mr.. Handy feels hurt at the statement
which he has seen in American papers
since his return to London, to the effect
that he and his friends had spent their
time in guZzling and banqueting. He
declares that he never worked harder
in his life than while making the tour
of the continent. The delegates often
travelled five nights III the week, and on
one occasion he had no opportunity to
trim his whiskers for tWenty-four hours.
So far from enjoying the eating and
drinking, he often ate and drank much
against his will in order not to offend
the susceptibilities Of the natives, and,
indeed, but for his experience in GER
tain hotels at home, he would have
been utterly unable TO stand the strain.
Mr.. Handy showed in his appearance
the effect of the ordeal through which
he had passed. His features bore
fanguid, dyspeptic look, and during the
Interview he constantly dropped into
pOlyglot dialect, this being, as he eX-
planned, the result of whisking at such
a rapid pace from the officials of one
nation to another, and trying to be at
home with all of them. The other
members of the delegation also show
the results of poor feeding, and it will
take them some time to regain an Amer
lean appetite

Secretary of State ChapIeau Hears
Plain Talk.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2.--In the pub
lie accounts committee yesterday. }. b.
Roland, of the Roland paper mills at
st. jerome was asked by Mr.. Lister
how it was that he had rendered
bids for paper at sc, Z and "a
cents, and had got the contract at ~
cents? Roland said that he did not
know. 1t was so. but he could not eX-
plain it. Mr.. Chapleau. secretary of
state. said that a number of samples
had been sent in with various prices,
and that the best quality had been ac-
cepted, and that Lister, in putting the
question in the form practically of
statement, as he had done, was willfully
misleading the committee.
MIR. Lister warmly denied this charge,
and said that in making it Mr.. Chapleau
was deliberately insulting him. He
(Lister) had not yet said anything that
he could not back up. He had charged
that the secretary Of states department
was reeking with corruption, and he
had amply proved it. Never in any
country III the world had such a state
OF corruption been known to exist. Be-
fore he got through, he threatened, he
would bring home his charges pretty
close to the secretary himself
