cARNEe1rs POLICE PROJECTION.

It Turns Out to Bo Myth Born in the
Highlands OF Scotland.
LONDON, July 26.-lSpectal - It is
rumored that Andrew Carnegie has applied
for and received special police protection.
The officials OF Scotland Yard declare that
they have no knowledge of any such move
on Mr.. Carnegie's part. The chief Consta-
BILE of Perthshire, too, states that there is
no truth in the rumor so far as he knows,
and he would be the official most 4ikely to
be applied to next to those at Scotland Yard.
The rumor doubtless arose from the fact
that two strangers were recently observed
in the vicinity of Mr.. Carnegie's Rannoch
Lodge without any apparent excuse for
their presence there. The Perth police ex-
pressed the opinion that the strangers were
Americans who bore important dispatches
for Carnegie, which they did not dare
intrust to the ordinary course of the mails.
The two men returned southwark after a
few days 1t was not observed that they
called on Mr. Carnegie, but they might
have done so. The Lodge is in probably
the most secluded district Of Scotland. The
nearest railway station is % miles distant
and the nearest telegraph Office 10 miles

down stairs and found her neighbor envel-
oped in flames. Mrs. Viango was rushing
toward the stairway, but Mrs. Lawson inter-
cepted her. About this time Mrs. Rose,
living next door, arrived ON the scene and
while Mrs Lawson fought the fire, trying to
put it out with her hands, the new arrival
tore the burning clothing from Mrs. Viango.
The two ladies removed the victim to a bed
room, but here they found the bed also burn

husband is mill worker. One of the

mence To-day.
PARKERsBURG, July 26-[Special THE
Democratic State Convention of West Vir-
ginia, which will begin tomorrow, will be
the largest ever held in this State. There
are five candidates for Governor, 13 candi-
dates for Auditor six for Supreme Judge,
FIVE for Superintendent of Schools, four for
Attorney General and about as many for
each OF the remaining Offices.
More than 5000 delegates and boomers
for the different candidates arrived this
evening on special trains and others are e1-
pected. Almost every prominent Demo-
crat in West Virginia is here already. At
this hour it is everybody's fight, and this
evening it looks as though there would be q
tremendous battle between the aspirants
for Governor. The Democrats are sanguine
of victory provided the contest between the
aspirants does not culminate in split
The contest for Governor is thought to be
between Judge Bennett, of Lewis county;
Colonel w. A. McCorkle, of Kanawha, and
2. c. Eastman, of Mason. Mr.. Eastman is
the farmers candidate, and his backing,
70 all appearances, is formidable.
There is no probability that the
convention will be able to get through its
business Tomorrow or perhaps the next day.
One of the important matters that will
come before the convention will be strong
resolution demanding q State law prohib-
iting Pinkerton detectives from entering
the State. Snch resolution will be passed
without opposition.

demnatory of the attitude of the Chancellor
in the eyes of the Centrists, his bitterest
enemies, while it would cause great salts.

be an overt reputation of the Chancellor.

disdainfully, stamping one foot, "Are you
going to dictate my very bill of fare?" he
asked.

sign."
'T accept your resignation" said the
Emperor. "You may retire Send me
your resignation in writing"

A MIDNIGHT FIRE.

Flames Destroy Thrs e Dwellings, an Equal
Numbtr OF Stores and Plays Havoc
With Two Stables Containing Number
of Horses.
Shortly after midnight flames completely
gutted the three store buildings at 2O4, 2O6
and 2Os Fifth avenue and slightly damaged
the stable of w. H. Devore and McNulty
Bros. at Nos. 210, 212 and 214.
The fire started in the rear OF No.
206 Fifth avenue and had gained
considerable headway before it was discov-
cred. An alarm was turned in few min
utes after - o'clock, but when the engines
arrived the crowd that had collected had
rendered heroic service and assisted the oc.
cupants out of the burning structures
When the alarm was sounded Michael J.
Dean, of the Humane Society, Edward
Thomas, Tom Hughes Daniel Harnett and
Joseph Sullivan were all standing In the
vicinity of the Court House. They saw
the blaze and immediately fastened to the
burning buildings. Recognizing the dan
ger of the inmates they bursted in the
doors of the stores, but on account of the
dense smoke could not make their way up
stairs Retreating to the pavement they
secured an improvised ladder somewhere,
and climbing up to the second story
of Julius Rosenfeld's trunk factory
at No 204 the party of rescuers separated.
Dean and Thomas crawled in the window
of Rosenfeld's place, while the others
crawled along the awning supports to the
other houses The party Of five went to
work Immediately and in a very few
moments had rescued without injury Mrs.
Kate Sturm, Mrs. Rosenfeld and
child, Mrs. Barbara Driscoll and
several others. After they had
finished their efforts in this direction and
satisfied themselves there were no more
cuers started for the stables and with the
assistance of the fremen who had arrived
by this time rescued some II or Is horses,
quantity of harness and number of car
riages and wagons
Besides the trunk factory of Rosepfeld's,
at No. 204, which was badly damaged with
its contents, there was the store No. 206,
occupied by the jamestown Crayon Com
pany and the barber shop of Thomas Carson
at No. 208. The contents at the two last
mentioned places are completely destroyed.
The stable property was not affected much
by the fire, the loss being principally
caused by water.
None of the proprietors of the ruined
places could be found, and detailed state
ment of the losses is not given, but s., 900
will cover the total damage. The resi-
dents of the charred structures
were taken to adjoining houses,
where they will be cared for temporarily.
At No. SO High street, to the rear of Fifth
avenue, there was invalid boy who had
just recently returned home from the hos
pital. He was lying in his bedroom when
he learned Of the fire and with great effort
he rose to his feet, ran down stairs and out
into the street, where he tainted from
fright and exhaustion. His name is given

CowARDIcE OF ANARCHISTS.

They Seek Their Hiding Places Whenever
There Is Trouble.
In speaking of the arrests of the conspira-
tor Anarchists Chief of Police Murphy, of
Allegheny, said the general public had but
little idea of the difficulty met with by the
police and detectives in obtaining informa-
tlon of the revolutionists.
''In times of peace" continued Chief
Murphy, ''these people are boldly aggressive
and congregate in beer saloons, where they
imbibe enough of the malt beverages to
arouse their sluggish thoughts and then
proceed to describe in bad German and
worse English the menace and terror all
people with dollar to their name are to
the great mass of workers.
"But the very moment any trouble such
as the Homestead affair occurs then they
are lost. and it is almost impossible to To-
cate them. They keep away from the
places they formerly haunted, and utter
their incendiarisms in the secrecy of their
own company.
"The locality where Bauer was caught
may be very hotbed of anarchy, and we
are making strenuous endeavors to rout out
more of them. We have number of men
working on the Spring Garden and other
ends, and l am in great hopes of seeing
more of them brought in shortly. The con-
spiracy to murder Mr.. Frick was far reach
ing, and the Developments will unquestion-
ably be many"

CARNEGIE'S POSITION.

He Says He Has Implicit Confidence in
Those Who Manage the Mills-Other
Than That He Has Nothing for Public
Utterancs and Will Not Return.
LONDON, July 26-The representative OF
the Associated Press yesterday drove from
Kingussie to Rannoch Lodge, on Loeb
Rannoch, Scotland, the residence of Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, and made repeated ef-
forts to obtain an interview with Mr.. Car.
negie in order to obtain a statement from
him of his views regarding the. troubles at
cerning the shooting of Mr. H. c. Frick,
the Chairman of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, but his mission proved fruitless.
This morning, however, he was more sue
cessful, and was finally admitted to Mr..
Carnegie's presence.
The representative opened the interview
by saying to Mr.. Carnegie: 'Tn view of
the events of Saturday last, have come
to ask again for an expression of your
opinion of the outcome of the Homestead
troubles"
At first Mr.. Carnegie positively refused
to discuss any phase of the situation, but,
after persistent interrogation by his caller,
finally said: "Well, I authorize you TO
make the following statement: have not
attended to business for the past three
years, but have implicit confidence in
those who are managing the mills Further
than that 1 have nothing to say"
1t is known that Mr.. Carnegie is greatly
disturbed by the attack en- Mr. Frick, and
that he daily receives many cable dispatches
giving the fullest particulars of his condi-
tion. 1t is very evident that Mr. Carnegie
has no intention OF returning to America at
this time.
Mr.. Carnegie has taken quiet interest in
the English elections. Although retaining
from active interference in the party strug-
giles, he has sent a number of labor candi-
dates besides Mr.. Kerr Hardie handsome
donations to assist their candidatures. He
did not send Mr.. Hardie 81, 900 as reported

Mr.. Carnegie received the corre-
spondent with great courtesy. He said
he had resolutely refused to see any press
representatives in regard to the Pittsburg
troubles, not because he had not the keen
est interest in what was happening there,
but because living as he did, thousands of
miles away, he might not fully understand
the local situatinn

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Ex-senator
Quay made a little departure from custom
ary usuage in the Senate this morning,
which caused broad smile to ripple over
the faces of most of the Senators present
It is customary, when making motion to
60 into executive session for the Senator
making the motion to say, merely, 81 move
that the Senate nov go into executive
session."
Senator Quay said: 81 move that the
Senate now go into executive session for the
purpose of considering the nomination Of
an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court
Allison whirled on his chair and looked
at Quay inquiringly, as if he couldn't
believe his ears Harris, of Tennessee, Q
great stickler for form, half rose from his
chair as if to protest The younger Sena-
tors seemed greatly tickled at this depart
ure from ancient form. In the midst of It
all President protein Manderson's sonorous
voice was heard putting the motion. The
little bells buzzed everywhere, which give
notice of an executive session.
Five Minutes Settled the Matter.
The visitors were hnstled out of the gal
leries, pages, clerks, messengers, got on
the floor at double quick. Correspond
ents slowly and sullenly and profanely
walked out of the press gallery wondering
how long the nonsensical secret session will
vet endure in the land. All doors leading
to the Senate were locked and double
guarded, everybody was driven from the
corridors and all to protect a secret which
had been given to the public before this
rigmarole was enacted.
Five minutes elapsed. The bells tinkled
again. The doors flew open, and everybody
filed back to their places. Senator Quay
had behind those doors made another motion
that the nomination by the President Of
George Shiras, Jr., for the position of As
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, be confirmed. Averbal vots
only was taken; there was no dissenting
voice. And Mr. Shiras was elevated to the
highest judicial body in the land.
Quay Handles the Men skiIIfulIy.
''Edmunds would have fallen out of his
chair dead if he had heard that motion Of
Quay's," said an old habitue of the press
gallery; "but it was awfully cute. He pro.
claims emphatically to the people who
have criticised him IN connection with
Cameron for opposing Shiras, that he Is the
man who has pulled Cameron of, and that
he has engineered the nomination of Shiras
to a successful issue when it might other
wise have been defeated. There's no use
talking, for sharp strategical moves on the
chess board of politics, with the pawns as
well as with the queens and knights and
bishops, Quay is hard to beat
OF course Cameron wasn't present. He
was away sulking. He can do that about
as well as any man. LIGHTNER
