An alarm was immediately given, but owing to heavy snows it took a long time for the fire department to reach the building, which stands on hill. The tiremen made a hard fight, but without avail, for in less than two hours the building WAS in ruins.

KEEPER GOSS ATTACKED.
The Rrutrs Held Him Fast In h. Dark and Bit CT One Toe ani Ono Finger, Be sides Tearing His Flesh Rescue by the Police Just In Time.

NEW YORK, Feb. l& Edward E. Gloss, d tawny young Texan who h.,l hlrgr of the big anthropuids Chiko and Johanna on the second floor of the arsenal in Central park, is in the Presbyterian hospital suffering from many laccrated wounds inflicted by the suddenly enraged animals.
 Tbe appearauce of d squad of gray coated policemen, cuMluautrd by Sergeant John B. Mulhollaud, probably saved the Texan from death. A il was, he lost the middle finger of his right hand and the great tee of his right foot. Johanna bit of the toe, and Chiko chrWed away the finger. He also tore the right wrist and nearly severed the other fingers of the hanl in his rage.
 Goss had taken of all but his under clothes, and was about to % to hvd in {, room just back and east of the cage in which the two chimpanzreS are kept, when he heard Johanna clap her hands and grunt in a manner indicating that she wanted something to eat.
 Attacked In the Dark.
 In order to get from his own bedroom to the room where the food for the big mon keys is kept the keeper is obliged to pass in front of the cage. The lights in the room were out, and the keeper could not see exactly where Johanna and her mate were sitting About four feet from the front of the cage is a glass partition through which the public view the antics of Chiko and Johanna. The keeper passed between the partition and the front of the cage.
 As he turned the southeast corner, just brushing it with his clothes, Johanna, who had been crouching there, reached out her long and muscular arm and caught the luckless Texan by the right foot, throw ing him on his face He fell with his arms extended.
 They reached just few inches beyond the partition separating Johanna from Chiko. The angry cry of the female chim- panzee and the fall of the keeper aroused Chiko to frenzy. He reached forth and grabbed the right arm of the Texan.
 The two animals drew the keeper close up to the iron bars of the cage. Chiko got the Texans right arm through space be tween two bars and tore at it furiously. Johanna bit and clawed the right leg of the keeper with similar ferOCity.

INDIAN SOLDIERS.
The Red Companies Growing Smaller
and Smaller.

1t is said at the War Department, that
if the present rate of depletion continues
there will be no Indian companies in the
army at the end of two years. These COM
panies have been materially reduced within
the past few months, and there is small
promise of recruiting the ranks with the
noble red man." They object to the re-
straints and discipline of army life and take
the first opportunity of getting discharged
At the height of the movement there were
S cavalry and IL infantry companies
composed of Indians. They have dwindled
but six cavalry and nine infantry COM
panies, and these show unnlistakable sigus
of further shrinkage. Although the outlook
is discouraging there is a strong DISPOSE
ton to give the experiment of making the
Indian, useful as a soldier. full and fair
trial.

ALUMINIUM FOR THE NAVY.

The detailed plans Of the Wellman arctic
expedition, which have been so Interestingly
told in the columns Of The Sta-, have at
tracted widespread attention. The use of
aluminium for boats in particular has been
noticed by scientists and officials. AS stat
ed in Saturdays Star, Superintendent Kim
ball of the life saving service is much in

Department is awakening to the possible
fact that boats of this material may be a
valued addition to the equipment of the
new me1-of-war. In order that the depart-
ment may be posted as TO just what has
been done with the metal Naval Construc-
tor Woodward has been ordered to make a
thorough test of the three Weilman boats
and report as to the practicabilIty of having
aluminium life boats and launches for the
new navy. Mr.. Woodward. in company
with Mr.. j. c. Mcclure, the engineer in
charge of the equipment of the Wellman
expedition, went to Baltimore today where
a thorough test of the boats will be made

SHIPS STABILITY,
Tophea'iness of Our New Navy StiII
Under Discussion

me question of the stability of the new
ships of war is still exciting considerable
attention at the Navy Department This
is especially the case with the battle shin
Indiana, which will be the first of her class
to be tried at sea. Chief Naval Constructor
Hichborn is of opinion that the ordnance
weights above the water line greatly exceed
the proportionate allowance for the battle
ships. He has compared the weights of
these ships with the ordnance weights of
other ships at home and abroad and finds
that the guns and carriages of the Indiana,
Massachusetts and oregon far exceed the
weights of any other ship adoat, and that
the difference is remarkably so in the COM
parison of displacement and draught. To
correct this alleged topheaviness he mas
recommended a reduction of ordnance
weight by the removal of four S-inch guns
from each ship. The ordnance department
has entered a vigorous protest against such
change in the batteries. The stability
board, of which Admiral Walker is presi-
dent, has the matter under consideration in
connection with the coming trial of the
Indiana.

THE CARNEGIE FINE.
Charged That COnspfrators Were
Richly Rewarded for Crime.

Tor Crime.
The published statement that the govern
ment paid 25 per cent of the recent assess
ment against the Carnegie Steel Co. to con-
spirators who had placed imperfect steel
plates among those accepted by the coy-
ernment for the construction of naval YES
sells was the subject of several conferences
at the Navy Department today, in which
Secretary Herbert, Assistant Secretary Nc
Adoo, Chief Ordnance Officer Sampson and
Mr.. Hunsecker the agent of the Carnegie
Steel Co, took part Secretary Herbert de-
clined TO discuss the matter for publica-
tion, saying that his recent statement con-
tained all that he had to say on the subject.
The other officials took their cue from him
and were equally reticent 1t is believed
however, that Secretary Herbert desires IL
take cognizance Of the publication but that
ne wishes TO confer with the President be-
fore doing so.
The Pittsburg Times is responsible for the
statement that there was a conspiracy in
the matter. According to that paper:
The Carnegie Steel Company, Limited
has permitted itself to be made the victim
of a big conspiracy. This, in brief, is the
true explanation of the assessing of Sf4n-
1891 damages or fine laid by President
Cleveland and Secretary of the Navy Her
bert against the company for furnishing
the government with armor plates which,
to quote Secretary Herbert, was good all

company. This quartet of scheming work
men were assisted in getting in touch with
the government by Pittsburg attorney,
whose office is within the shadow of the

CURRENT TALK IN LONDON.
No Regret Expressed by the Queen for

LONDON, March 5.--The Chronicle says:

after sixty years of service, in his royal
mistress hands. That resignation was re-
corded by the queen in the court circular

ignation of a prime minister. 1t was

attempting TO coerce ireland. The queen
notified the public Of the fact of Lord Sails

cepted that resignation with much regret.
The phrase was an extraordinary one. We
are inclined 10 think that II was unpre-
cedented i'm the queens reign, If not In he
whole Guelph period. Her majesty, We
gather, does not view with regret the de
parture from her council of the mightiest
OF living Englishmen, the heroic figure Of
his age, and the statesman OF whom our
children's children will speak when we are
in the dust. There would be, We suggest.
reason above all others why the nation
expected some touch Of personal feeling
from the queen when she bade farewell TO
her il1ustrious servant. He alone OF all
others has been the safeguard Of the Eng
lish monarchy and its preserver at once
against its unwise friends and open foes.
Again and again has Mr.. Gladstone held
the bridge against the radicals when the
smallest outworlS of privilege or endowment
attached TO the royal house was attacked,

The Choice of Rosebcry.
The Times this morning in a leader says
that among all those who understand that
considerations of a national character are
involved the conviction is even stronger
than among the liberals that Lord Rose
berry is the most fitting Successor TO Mr..
Gladstone in the present crisis.
Continuing, the Times says: with Lord
Rosebery we can confidently expect a GER
tain unity Of thought ana action. He is an

ognized that the-e is no question anywhere
of expressing Ireland, and that there is a

GEORGETOWN'S COLLECTOR.
MIR. johnson Wants Information as I,
Charges.

There are no new developments in the
matter of the Georgetown collectorship.
Capt Johnson says he has not refused TO
resign, but is merely waiting a reply from
Secretary Carlisle to his inquiry if there
are any charges against him. He says
his term viii not expire for ten months yet.
but he does not expect to remain in office
that long. The salary of the office, includ-
ing fees, he says does not exceed 5000 a
year, and sometimes runs as low as $1,000.
1t is said at the Treasury Department
that Capt. Johnson will probably soon COM

resignation, and thereby avoid the ueces-
sity of his removal No action will be taxi
