WAS 1T SCHNAUBELT?
The Haymarket Bomb Fiend and
MIR. Sage's Assailant.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The Globe this
morning prints the following: Inform
alton just received concerning Rudolph
Schnaubelt, the bomb thrOwer at Hay
market square, makes it appear that the
anarchists had a hand in the recent
bomb throwing at the Office of Russell
Sage in New York. Comparison of
photographs lends additional color to
the story that Schnaubelt has forfeited
his life for The cause and Joined Par
sons, Spies, Fischer, Lingg and Engel.
1t is startling story of two great cities,
of the two dramatic and ter
rible events of the closing years
of the nineteenth century. Should
it prove that the bOmb-thrOwer's
head which was found in the streets of
New York is Identical with the bomb
thrower who cleverly made his escape
from this city after the tragedy of i've
years ago, the police of Chicago will
have been once more avenged.
Local anarchists who claim to know
the whereabouts of Schnaubelt, the
man who distinguished himself by
throwing the bomb at the time of the
Haymarket affair, say that nothing has
been heard of him within the last
month. When last heard from, he was
at Geneva, Switzerland, the headQuar-

radical SOcialiStic movement. He was
prominently identified with the anar-
chistS and nihilistS who cOngreggte
there. These societies are very secret
in their methods, and only the choicest
spirits. who have distinguished them
selves in the cause of freedom and
liberty" are admitted. Some of the So
cieties are reported to be sadly in need
of funds. ard Schnaubelt, as the story
runs, offered to raise the mon
ey. He left for Amsterdam the
last of November, and since then
nothing had been heard of the dynami-
ter. His friends on the other side of the
water have written to friends in Chi
cagO lnQuiring after his whereabouts,
but his Chicago relatives deny all
knowledge of him.

Inspector Setback, the man who knows
more of the history of the Chicago an
archists and more of the secrets of the

selves knew. THE description Italics

HUDDLED LIKE CATTLE.
Inmates All Believed to Be Safe
but Some at Large.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. ga
special to the Democrat from Pontiac,
Mich, says: The massive main build
ing of the Eastern Michigan Insane aSy-
lum is tonight a smouldering mass of
ruins, and nearly all the 500 inmates
which il contained are huddled together
like cattle in the surrounding asylum
cottages.
Not one life, so far as been known,
has Oeen lost, but scores OF the poor
lunatics, who were forced to stand in
the bitterly cold blizzard for hours be-
fore they could be housed, have suffered
severely. Many, too, it is believed,
have escaped to the woods during the
excitement, and searching parties are
now out in quest of them. The loss
will not fall below 100000.
The fire broke out just before IL
o'clock in an attic in the women's de-
partment. The cause is not definitely
known, but it is believed to have been
a defective fue. Famed by the cold
north wind which was blowing fiercely,
the flames spread with great rapidity,
and, before the attendants were fully
aware of the danger, the entire upper
floor of the structure was on fire.
Aid was summoned from Pontiac,
nearly two miles distant. and the
asylum department, which was regarded

Looks We'll for Jordan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-A high Of
fl ciaI in the department today predicted
that Editor Jordan would be appointed
at Fargo. "There can be no other out
come to this fight" SAID this official.
HE is backed by the senatorial lnflu-
ence of the state and, even if the pres
ident should name another man, the
chances are that his confirmation will
be defeated in the senate"
1t is not likely that the president will
run any such risk There has been
deal of talk about the charges against
jordan's character, but up to date none
of these alleged charges have been sus-
tanned. There is little doubt expressed
anywhere but that Jordan will be

as very efficient, at once began an UNI
equal contest with the fire which gained
steadily, Increasing every moment in
intensity and extent until at noon the
entire north and east sections of the big
building were in flames. Assistance
was then requested from Detroit and
two Of the city's steamers were soon on
the ground.
Wafer facilities were inadequate, how
ever, and in spite of the strenuous efforts
of the firemen, the flames ate their way
along the front of the huge structure
until it seemed as If the entire plant,
hospital, chapel and all, were doomed.
Hundreds of people from Pontiac and
vicinity Joined in the fight with the
flames at this juncture. By most stub
born resistance a small part of the south
wing was saved, and at 3 o'clock it was
evident that the remnants OF the mag
nllicent plant, comprising only the
chapel, hospital and engine house.
would be saved.
Meantime the $50 attendants were
having great difficulty in guarding the
800 female inmates who had been res
cued from the burning building, and
only at the risk of their lives saved sew
eral women, who would occasionally
break from the covering groups and
make a mad dash into the flames, and
some were seriously burned. AS whole,
however, the greater part of the vast
body Of inmates were exceptionally
quiet while the great confederation was
roaring about them, and some of the
less violent patients worked hard and
earnestly in endeaVOrlng to Subdue it.
Two men, who were fighting the
flames. were rescued Just as they were
on the point of falling back into the
raging furnace. A number of other
narrow escapes occurred, and but few
of the attendants escaped without severe
burns or other injuries.
1t is difficult to obtain accurate figures
on the loss. When the asylum was first
opened in 1878, the total cost was S475,-
600. Since then many additions and
improvements have been made, and
w. q. VintOn. a member of the
board of trustees of the asylum,
estimates the total value of
the plant before the fire at something
over $4,000. Since the entire main
structure with the exception of a small
part OF both wings has been destroyed,
including the most of its contents, the
| total loss cannot be less than 5000
Nothing definite is known about the in
Surance. but it is believed to pretty
nearly cover the loss.
AT the beginning of this year the
number of patients in the asylum was
975, of whom AGA were females. Since
then the number has been increased to
something over 1.OO0 The care of these
required about 200 employees. The in
mates must for several days, at least,
suffer great hardship. The kitchen is
among the destroyed buildings, and
some time must elapse before the
culinary department can he re-estab-
lished and the lunatics properly fed.
Nothing is definitely known as to any
steps for the rebuilding of the burned
structure, but instant action is abSo-
lutely necessary.

THE DUKES SUCCESSOR.
Won SchouvaIoff to Be Taken From
Berlin.

BERLIN, Dec. ga report of a start
ling nature is in circulation and obtains
credence in diplomatic circles. 1t is to
the effect that Count Won SchOuvaloff,
the Russian ambassador to Germany, is
to be transferred to Moscow as successor
to the Grand Duke Sergius, brother of
the car. as governor general. The car
has given Grand Duke Sergius per-
emptOry leave of absence for a year,
and it is looked upon as certain that the
grand duke will not return to his post
at the expiration of that period.
1t is more likely that he will be sent
out of Russia or be placed under sur
Vigilance at some post in Central Asia.
The grand duke, it is alleged, has been
tampering with the allegiance of Of
.ficers high in command at Moscow, War
saw, Wilma and other military centers.
Count Won SchOuvalOff, upon whose
fidelity the cZar relies, has been ordered
TO proceed to Gatschina to confer with

The Liberality of the People of
America.

The Liberality of the People of
America.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-In an inter-
view today Mr.. Oregon, charge d'affaires
of the Russian legation, said with ref
erence to the suffering among the peas
antry of his country:
ut is very kind and generous of the
American people to offer relief to the
starving people of Russia. 1t will be
gratefully appreciated"
rs there any eXaggeratiOn as to the
extent of the suffering?" he was asked.
unfortunately, there is not. The
number of those who are actually I'M
able TO obtain the neceSSarieS OF life is
not less than 100000. These must be
relieved by charity or die OF hunger
and disease. With the shortage of food
goes the necessity for clothing and med
zeal attention."
$50 what ports will the American
shipments be made, and will there be a
prompt and iudiciOus distribution of
the supplieS?"
''All consignments should be made to
the Russian consul general in New
York. The shipments from other coun-
tries will be to the port of Libau, on the
southern Baltlc, when is the only port
that is sure to be open during the
winter months. Libau is not far
from the German line, and there
is direct railway communication
with the famine-stricken districts. 1t is
central and accessible point also, and
there will be 10 unnecessary delay in
getting the food to the peasants. The
committees in charge of the charities
are of the highest character. The
American people may rest assured that
there will be no peculating or discrim-
inatiOn. l want to say further that the
generous spirit shown by the people of
the United States will do more to ce-
ment the ties of friendship between the
two nations than anything of political
character could. The Russian people
from the government down are deeply
moved by the thOughtfulness and liber-
atty manifested i'll this cOuntry.n
