THE DUKE HARD UP.

The Unfortunate Plight In which
the Duke os verasua. the Lsneas
Descendant OF Americas Dis
coverer. Finds Himsen-ksis vis-
tito the Worlds Fair Respons,-
bic.
Financial ruin confronts the Duke
Of veragua. The late guest Of the
United States Government is return-
ing to Spain to 6nd his ancestral
palace in Madrid, his AIT gallery
and even his ball farm, most dearly
priced Of all, seized and in danger Of
being sold to satisfy creditors.
From fortune of $500, 900, which
means more to Spain than it does to
this country, the Dukes capital has
so deprecated that, unless he is Civ
en- aid, he will be left practically
penniless.
When the news was received by
the friends Of the ducsl party here
it aroused the deepest feeling Of re-
greet. President I. w. Palmer, of
the National Commission, did more
than regret. He called a meeting OF
number of prominent citizens of
New York and Chicago. 1t was de-
cded to raise large fund by popu-
lar subscription. This fund will be
invested in United States bonds and
put in trust for the benefit Of the
Duke and his children after him. An
appeal will be sent out in few days.
not only to the people of the United
States, but to those Of South Amer
lea and the West Indies, in which
they will be asked to pay graceful
tribute the memory Of the great ex-
plorer by contributing Of their plenty
to the end that his descendants may
not be bounded by importunate cred
itors, as the admiral himself was.
President Palmer says:
"The plans for raising the fund
are not yet complete, nor has it been
decided what the amount shall be.
| have consented to act as Chairman
of the Fund Committee. The plan
meets with che hearty approval Of
Dupuy De LONE, Spanish Commits
sioner-General. 1t certainly would
be a very graceful thing. While
the Duke Of Veragua was never an
extremely rich man, he has been al
ways able to command all the com-
forts and most of the Injuries of life.
About a year ago he lest several
pensions. Recently his entire pei.
sonal fortune was swept away. A

lea as we'll as the United States.
lit may not be generally known.
but the Duke put himself to consid.
cradle inconvenience in coming to
this country. 1t is true he was roy
ally entertained, but nevertheless he
spent large sum-"
The last statement Of Mr.. Palmer
is the key to the situation. The
Dukes slender finances were CON-
pletely wrecked by the trip, even
though the Government did pay his
bills.

FANCY HIS FEELINGS.
Unhappy Experience Of Cores

ed Senator Stanford.
From Kate Fields Paper.


pondent Who Once Interview
ed Seuator Stanford.
From Kate Fields Paper.
The journalism Of the period when
Stanford aSpire'l to follow it as a
calling was 80 different from the
journalism Of today that the contrast
may be pleaded in excuse for one
act of the Senator's which caused ex-
quisite anguish to it's victim at the
time of it's occurrence, but has since
furnished Newspaper Row with one
of it's most amusing traditions. AT
a time when Mr.. Stanford was bring
ing forward with much earnestnesS
what was known as the Government
land loan scheme, the Washington
correspondent of leading San Fran
cisco newspaper was instructed by
it's editor to write an elaborate inter-
view with the Senator on the subject
of The scheme, and to he sure that 1t
should be scoop" on all the rest
of the California press. The CORES
pondent laid his plans with the great
est secrecy, and. after spending an
entire evening at Mr.. Stanford $
house, wrote a brilliant interview
sufficiently long to fit whole page
of his paper Being a conscientious
workman, and DESTROYS of absolute
accuracy on matter of so much i'm
portance to the statesman involved,
he carried the manuscript of the in
teryiew to the Senator with the re-
quest that he would read it over and
correct any misstatements. The
next evening he called to recover his
manuscript Mr.. Stanford received
him with the greatest cordiallty.
at was an admirable interview" said
he with warmth. "In all my expc-
riencc with giving interviews to the
press, ] do not recall Oh instance
where was so accurately quoted.
| couldn't have done better if | had
written the whole thing myself"
The correspondents eyes bcamed
with delight and pride, and, after
waiting for the Senator to pause in
is eulogies, he modestly ventured to
ask if he might take the manuscript
now and mail it.
ooh, that reminds me-" answered
the Senator; 81 gave your manu-
script today to one Of the Press AS
sociations, to be sent to all the Cali
fornia newspapers. / thought it was
shame, after you had done such a
splendid piece of work, that yon
see it in print in only one place.
Yes, sir, your interview will be in
the hands Of every newspaper reader
in thcState of California tomorrow
morning!"
And the Senator looked so graft
fed over this evidence of his ap-
probation of good piece of work
that the correspondent had not the
heart to undeceive him. All he
could do was to go away sorrowful
and seek some remote corner, where
he could beat his head against the
wall and shed tears nnobserved.

UTAH ANTIoUlTlEa
Interesting Archaeological Discoveries By
Explorer Mcguire.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 19.-By the
time Dan Mcguire finishes his antiquity
explorations in Utah, invaluable add.
tons will have been made to the fund
of archaeological lore. He is eminently
fitted for the task that has been as
signed him by the worlds fair commits
sion, having made a special study Of the
prehistoric races and spent considerable
time in examining the ancient Egyptian
ruins.
The result of Mr.. Maguire's investiga.
ton and discoveries have led him to be.
lieve that many thousands of years ago,
he does not undertake to say how many,
these valleys were densely populated by
a highly civilized people. They lived in
houses, built cities, and pursued the
various Industries. The capital city.
the seat of the government or home OF
the ruler of this whole region, was 10.
Gated near Paragoona, in the southern
part of the territory, and that is where
Mr.. Mcguire is conducting his present
operations.
In letter Just JGeived in this city,
he stated that he had Just made the
most important, the most wonderful
discovery of all his investigations. 1t
is nothing less than the royal palace Of
the monarch who ruled this prehistoric
people. This palace was constructed Of
adobe and was originally about $50 by
$50 feet. As the adobe walls crumbled
and the entire structure collapsed, il
formed huge mound. After digging
into this mound and removing the mass
of debris and adobe soil on top, the
lower rooms of the building were re
vealed, the walls still retaining theil
original shape.
In the center Of the palace was {
large court, which was surrounded by {
great number Of small rooms.
Several of these rooms have been ex
cavated, and several human skeletons
and large amount of pottery takeI
out. Professor Montgomery, who il
with the expedition thinks these dis
coveries are of vast Importance. Their,
are number of mounds in that vicin
ity, and the supposition is that eacl
mound contains the ruins of an ancien
building.
Archaeological authorities say that tn,
cliff dwellers, whose former habitation'
are found along the Colorado river anC
in other rugged localities, were descend
ants of these plain jewellers, who wert
driven from their homes and the vale,
by barbarian tribes. The cliff dweller
were forced from their canyon home
by the invaders and took refuge in Mex
leo, and from them the ancient Toltec
descended. The relics that Mr.. Ma
guire is collecting will be sent to tn
worlds fair.

TRAINS WRECKED.
Railroad Disasters at a Number
of Different Places.
SEVERAL OF A SERIOUS NATURE.

Passenger Trains Collide on the Pitts-
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago and An
other on the Terre Hnute ana Indianap-
Olis-Freisht Wreck OH the Baltimore
and Ohio-Other Wrecks.
VALPARAISO, Ind, Jan. 19.-The in
ability of the engineer and fireman on
the second section of Train A, ON the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad, to see, resulted in collision at
Hobart, fifteen miles west of this city,
at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, which
jeopardized the lives of one hundred
passengers. Fortunately no one re-
ceived fatal injuries, although nothing
short of miracle prevented a frightful
loss of life. The first section, the east
bound passenger train due in this city
at 80 Wednesday morning, was stand
ing on the main track at Hobart.
The night was unusually dark and
binding snowstorm prevented the train
men of the second section from observ-
ing the signal lights. The train was
running at high rate of speed when
the collision occurred, and there was no
warning the first intelligence which
the passengers in the coaches had of
ther peril, being the sound of breaking
timbers and the crash OF glass. The
engineer and fireman of the second Sec
ton jumped as the engine dashed into
the rear coach, and escaped with but
trihing injuries.
The scene which followed beggars de-
scription. Many of the passengers were
asleep, and were awakened. crazed with
fright, by the force OF the collision.
Women screamed and groaned, and
panic-stricken men fought for escape
through the windows. The cry of fire
was heard amid the confusion, but the
prompt efforts of the train hands pre-
vented the wreckage from becoming a
mass Of flames, from which escape
would have been impossible.
Six coaches are almost total wreck.
The drawing car, a strongly construct
ed coach, stood as a barrier and pre-
vented the engine from ploughing its
way through the train. The track was
cleared at 5 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The chaplain

NOTHING ALARMING.
No Change Reported in the Condition of
Mr.. Blaine.

Mr.. Blaine.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Mr. Blaine
passed an uneventful day and last night
there was no apparent change in his
condition. He is neither stronger no1
weaker than he has been for the past
several days, except a slight change
that results from the gradual inroads of
the disease, so slight that they are
hardly noticeable by those constantly
with him. He is entirely conscious and
converses with the members of the
family, attendants and physicians at
will, though he is discouraged by his
physicians from any excessive talk.
DR.. Johnston called at $50 o'clock
last night and remained with the patient
about twenty minutes. He stated when
he left that neither he nor DIR. Hyatt
would return during the night unless
sent for by the family on account of
changes for the worse. There were nc
indications that such change would
occur, and he expected Mr.. Blaine
would pass an easy night. He had slept
considerable during the day, but this
was no indication of unusual weakness
and was incident to the disease from
which he was suffering.
At a. m. there was no change to be
noted in Mr.. Blaine's condition.
