NOT An ATTACK ON THE SO,rTu
what Mr. Hewitt Says About Hi.
Thursday Night Remarks

Ex-Mayor Hewitt Of New York seemed
surprised yesterday that his remarks ar
the Southern Society banquet Thursday
night had become a topic of conversation
among the people of the south in the citv
lie SAID: Il wish it clearly understood
that my remarks were not intended to be
an attack upon the south. L would have
said the same thing about some of the
men of the west and north. 1 did not
mean to intimate that there are no good
men in the south, but do say that the
best men of the south, as well as the best
men or the west and north. are engaged in
pursuits other than statesmanship.
The representatives of the south in
Washington are the unfittest that the
south could send. 1 responded to the toast.
The national credit So much gross ignor-
ence has been displayed by the representa-
Gves of the south in Congress in reference
TO this toast that was forced to say what
i felt in my heart to be the truth MANY
OF the represen tatives in Congress from
other parts OF the country, well as the
south, are a set of incompetent dema-
gogues We are under the domination of
the unfittest."
United States Supreme Court bench were
just exactly what L meant. / said that
some representatives of the south had sue
cumbed to the falsity that a position on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States is local question. to be settled by
the demand of some local politician upon
the President TO consider how the appoi1t-
ment will affect his political prospects.
with utter disregard to the fitness Of the
men appointed to the Supreme Court bench,
many of the southern representatives went

my remarks, said that he did not wholly

British Blue-Jackets Attacked in
West Africa.
AMBUSHED AND FORCED TO RETREAT
Three Officers and Ten Men
Killed.
GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Dispatches from the
west coast of Africa say that the cruiser
Raleigh, twenty-four guns, $500 tons, the
nagship of the British squadron on that
coast, commanded by Rear Admiral Fred
erick c. d. Bedford, and the frst-class
screw gunboat Widgeon six guns. sos tons.
commanded by Lieut.. Commander William
j. Scullard. arrived yesterday at Bathurst,
capital of the British West African colony
OF Gambia. The rumor soon spread that
the sailors had been badly handled in an
encounter with the slavers.
1t was stated that landing parties from
the ships had been sent ashore in order to
punish Chief Fodishilah, a notorious slave
dealer, who had been carrying off into
bondage and severely illtreating the help
less natives of a number of villages along
that part of the coast which he rules over.
Inc British sailors are said to have land
ed in force and to have marched inland,
where they met with severe reverse, los
ing three officers and ten men killed and
forty wounded.
Admiral BedfOrd's Report.
This afternoon the admiralty department
admitted that they had received a cable
message from Admiral Bedford, on board
the flagship Raleigh. dated yesterday, and
lated in regard to the disaster to the Brit
ish force.
Admiral Bedford in his dispatch, said that
the landing force was under the command
OF Capt. Edward H. Gamble and that the
carriers. by their desertion, caused the loss
OF all the spare ammunition taken ashore
Tor the use of the landing parties, and that,
IN addition, the carriers caused the loss Of
all the water supply, which had been taken
inland.
Continuing, Admiral Bedford reported that
the sailors, upon reaching signs Of native
habitatlon, pushed forward and captured
two villages. which were defended by stock
ades.
The sailors occupied these two villages
throughout the following night, placing the
macnlne guns at points of vantage, and
thus making themselves practically secure
from attack
But the loss of the water supply and spare
ammunition made Capt. Gamble decide to
return to the shore with the intention of
re-embarking his force. This movement
Was commenced early the next morning.
and the column was on it's way back when
the sailors were suddenly attacked on all
sides.
The fire which was directed upon the sail

FIRE ON THE FAIR GROUNDS
Burning Of the Agricultural Building
This Morning.
Determined Fight Made. but 1t Was
Impossible to Save the
Structure.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Fire was discovered
in the dome of the agricultural building at
the worlds fair grounds this morning. The
flames soon spread to all parts of the roof.
A special alarm called engines from Hyde
Park and Woodlawn.
Another alarm called other engines and
determined fight against the progress of
destruction was begun. Running up the
OUTSIDE or the pillars the flames gained
heddWay IN the roof and spread rapidly to-
ward the dome in the center Once having
a start in the lofty arch its destruct ton was
a matter of short order. Driven by a brisk
wind sparks from the burning dome were
carried toward adjoining buildings and for
q time the fremen had before them the
prospect cf an extended condagration
The fremen were well distributed how
ever, and while several companies were
working vigorously in an attempt to stay
the fire in the agricultural building Others
were detailed to adjoining structures and
volumes of water were directed toward ex-
posed and endangered parts. An hour after
the general alarm was sounded the firemen
had accomplished all that was possible, and
the blaze was practically extinguished.
Before the tiremen had succeeded in their
work. however, the building had been
ruined. AS the fire spread through the dry
timbers of the roof, burning embers soon
began dropping to the floor and the sun
ports, gradually weakened, at last gave
way, carrying all the connected parts of the
roof with 1t; the dome pitched in ruins to
the floor.
Its fall practically put an end to the fire.
mems work. Small patches of flame still
were visible around the ragged edges of the
roof, but tons of water directed against
them soon drowned out all danger of a
spread of the fire. The destruction of the
dome left the already partially ruined build
ing even more unsightly, and 1t now bears
little resemblance to the ornate structure
surmounted by the statue of Diana which
formed feature of the court of honor
Every one agreed that an incendiary was
again responsible for the destruction. The
repeated attempts to burn the fair buildings
have been ascribed to this cause.
