BERLIN, Dec. 23.-Liberal and radical

the German side. The duke became a
sovereign German federal prince, over
whose rights and duties no foreign par

ROME, Dec. 23.-In the senate Gen.

THE WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.

The Coroncr's jury Holds Ainsworth, Dant

WASHINGTON, June cot was de-

moned to appear us a witness before
the coroner's jury investigating the
cause of the Ford theater disaster.
This decision was precipitated by ID. II.
Warner, one of the Jurors, in stating
that several of the jurors would like
the coroner to issue n subpoena for Col.
Ainswerth to give testimony Mt the in.
quest, not merely in regard to his own
connection with the theater accident,
but with reference to other parties con.
cerned. 81 see no reason" said Mr..
Warner, why he should be treated
differently from other witnesses. Fout
of the jury favor having him before us,
the other two are Indifferent. mas
much as statements that this jury is
prejudiced against him have been made
in the public press and elsewhere, we
think that he should be made to ap

lieve that the presence of Col. Aims.
worth would in any way assist in show.
ing how Frederick LOTUS. over whose
body the inquest is being held, came tc
his death. Nothing could be gained by
summoning him in his official capacity,
and as Col. Ainsworth was not willing
to appear as an ordinary citizen he
thought nothing could be gained by
calling him.
After being out two hours the jury
returned verdict setting forth that
Frederick II. Lotus came to his
death by the disaster at Ford's
Theater building ca June o, 1898.
The verdict recites the fact that
George W. Dant was the con,
tractor under the government for
the work in progress, which caused the
disaster and all the circumstances con.
nected with the accident, and find that
Col. Frederick c. Ainsworth, in charge
of the building; William Z. Covert, the
superintendent; Francis Sasse, the en-.
gineer and George w. Dant, the con-
tractor, are responsible for the killing
of Lotus. The jurors further find
that the failure of the government of
the United States to provide for
skilled superintendent of the work of
repair and alteration of it's buildings
in charge of the war department is
most unbusinesslike and reprehensible,
and are of the opinion that if such
superintendent had been provided in
the case of the work on the Ford's
Theater building, the awful tragedy
might have been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to is
sue warrants for the commitment of
Col. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse
until to-day, in order to give them an
opportunity of obtaining bail.

THE MINNESOTA FIRES.

Very Scrious.

Not So Bad As mt First Reported, but Still
Very scrious.
DULUTH, Mimi, June 20.-The first
accurate news of the fires in the Mesaba
range was available last night. Press
dispatches filed by the special corre-
spondents who were sent with the first
relief train did not arrive until late
and then only little advance of the
newspapers. Accurate news shows the
usual exaggeration in the first reports,
but the money loss will be greater than
estimated.
The first stories regarding Mountain
Iron and Biwabik were untrue. At
Biwabik only few detached buildings
were burned, and ut Mountain Iron
only six buildings. At Virginia the
situation is as serious as reported. The
entire business portion of the town is
destroyed. About thirty houses are
standing and $40 burned Merritt is
nearly wiped out. only sixteen build
ings now remaining in the town. 1t
was impossible to reach Merritt to-day,
as the woods are still burning all about
the village. It's the only town the news
paper men were not able to visit and
see the exact situation for themselves.
The situation of the sufferers ut Vir-
GINA is particularly unfortunate.
Most of them are without shelter, cloth
ing is scarce and food, despite the sup
plies that have been sent from Duluth,
is still scanty. Everything possible is
being done for them and railroads
reaching the range are carrying all
supplies and provisions free. On the
whole range about $500 people are for
the time being entirely dependent on
aha rity
