soper's Queer s,caiings.

LANSING, Mich, Ian. The com.
mittee appointed to investigate the
conduct of ex-Secrctary of State Soper
made exhaustive reports this morning,
finding that Soper had distributed,
contrary to law, 942 volumes, costing
the state sl,6l3. lie made purchases
of folding beds, springs, mattresses,
rugs, towels, blankets, typewriters and
desks to the amount of S921, all of
which is declared unnecessary and ex-
travagant There is practically no
evidence showing that he has profited
personally by these purchases or
received any money for dis
tributing the books There are
but few letters found showing that
state funds have been misapproriated,
but the committee says that Soper took
away with him at least 500 letters of
that character, and the amount of mis-
appropriations can never be determ-
ined. No evidence TO show the receipt
of commission upon purchases for the
state is presented. Soper bought 81, 1911
pounds of paper at cost 10 the state

He Sees the Gravity of the situation Hut 10
Powcriess to Act.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3t.-M. Senor
Montt, the Chilian minister, had an
other long conference with Secretary
Blaine beginning Immediately after
Blaine's return from the white house
where he presented the new French
minister, NJ. Paternotre, to the presi-
dent. 1t continued for moro than
an hour Senior Montt was
not able to communicate to Mr.. Blaine
the names Of the new Chilean cabinet,
and Mr. Egan has not communicated
them to the department. The Chilean
minister is earnestly desirous of satis-
flying the demands OF this government
upon Chile, but according to all reports
he is not able TO impress upon his
home officials the desirability of com
plying with them. He is advised by
a number of diplomats here, including
Sir Julian Pauncefoote, the British
minister, that the Chilean government
cannot afford to enter upon a conflict
with this country and that she would
be wholly unwarranted in refusing TO
apologize for the assault upon the
Baltlmore's men. Senor Montt is i'm
pressed with the gravity of the
situation and the earnestness with
which the United States will press its
demands for reparation, but finds him
self unable to make such representa-
tons as will satisfy this government
and which he is confident ought to be
made. His only hope is in temporizing
until the Chilean government can be
brought to take his view of the situa-
tion, when amicable adjustment can
easily be reached

not long before 500 men were PLAYING

not long before the whole building
was a mass of lcaping flames Three
steamers and six hose carriages ar
rived Mt the scene from Bayonne in a
short time after the telephone call
was sent in and were at work. So in
tense was the heat from the burning
building that the firemen were time
and time again driven back and they
could do little else than to watch Il
burn. About 10 o'clock the walls
OF the main building collapsed
and there was such confusion

brave firemen or those assisting them
had been buried in the debris For
tunately proved it only fear, for all
succeeded in getting out of the way
IL soon became apparent that nothing
but the boiler house could be saved
and the efforts OF the men lighting the
flames were directed solely TO that end.

An Engineer Says Chicago VIII Sink Forty
Feet In 1893

Feet I'm 1893.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3l.--German papers
print the following, which has also
found its way into portion OF the
German-American press:
Chicago doomed to destruction. 1t
is not an empty prophecy, but the
mathematical calculation of an en-.
gineer that proclaims such a catas-
trophe for the year 1898. According to
his conviction the soil and substrata of
Chicago are incapable of carrying the
colossal structures for the worlds eX-
position. He has figured it out that
the weight of the contemplated monu-
ments and buildings must cause a de-
preston of the ground which will en-
gulf the city and the exposition. The
engineer asserts that the action of the
waves of Lake Michigan has under
mined and washed out the soil of the
city so that the stratum of earth upon
which Chicago stands has thickness
of only sixteen feet and is consequently
too weak to carry the colossal exposi-
tion. When the depression Of the
ground occurs the city will sink to
stratum forty feet deeper than the
present surface, and in this respect
