WORLDS FAIR FIRES.

The Agricultural Building Burned by
the IDcendiary's Torch.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Another incendiary
FIRE occurred at the worlds fair grounds
this morning, and as the result the mag
nificent agricultural building, pro-
nounced by many good judges the most
sumptuous and beautiful of the worlds
fair structures is practically a heap
of ruins. The flames were first
discovered in the great dome. A
large number of FIRE engines were at
once summoned to the scene, but the
inflammable nature OF the structure
caused the fire to spread with great
rspidity under the influence of q stiff
breeze and it was about sll the depart
ment could do to prevent the spread OF
the flames to other structures. This
they succeeded in doing, but the agri-
cultural building Was ruined.
The famous bronze statue of Diana,
by the sculptor st. Gaudens, which
ornamented the dome of the building
during the fair, was fortunately re-
moved come days Ego and was set up in
the Columbian museum.

PARIS, Feb. 24.-All Paris is talking
OF the sensational debut of Jane Hard
ing, whose selection by Director Car
valho to succeed Sybil Sanderson as
Phrone in Saint Ssens' opera OF that
name, caused much surprise. The debut
attracted large audience, although
the debutante had been better
known aa leader among the
demi-moDde than as an operate star.
AS soon as Harding appeared on the
stage, there was a storm of whistling,
hissing and cat-calls. This outburst
was followed by shower Of dead rab-
bits, fish, cabbsges, eggs, etc. Gentle
men in the stalls and a lady in one OF
the stage boxes were especially active in
bonn harding Harding. The lady had a
perfect arsenal of such missiles, and at
the end of the first act pressed through
the crowd OF indignant people and ex-
claimed: "Jane Harding robbed me OF
my husband and spent my fortune" In
spite of her discouraging reception,
Mile. Harding. who declared that it was
the work of about 15 hostile persons, re-
appeared and has been highly praised
by the librettist OF the opera.

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA representa-
tive of the Associated Press saw Presi-
dent Cleveland this evening at the Ex-
ecutive mansion regarding the report
circulated the past two or three days to
the effect that the president is suffering
from serious malady and about to
have an operation performed. The
president said:
II have been engaged every day in
my office on public business and have
every day seen people who called, sena-
tors, representatives and others. Moth
ing would have been easier than to as
certain the absolute falsity of these re-
ports. l am forced to conclude there is
an epidemic of mendacity emanating
from the dull and stupid brains of some
of these correspondents. These men
must be influenced either by desire to
deceive the public or annoy those af
iected by their disreputable work.
Those who read the newspapers should
understand the extent to which their
credulity is calculated upon"
When the representative of the Aseo-
ciated Press entered the presidents
business Office at the White House this
evening, he found Cleveland and Secre-
tary Thurber engaged in clearing his
desk OF the accumulation of public busi-
ness. Cleveland never looked better in
his life. His eye was bright, his color
was good and his voice hearty and
strong. Today he received large num-
her of callers in his office, and at :l5 p.
m. shook hands with $50 people in the
east room.
At 4 O'Clock he drove about the city for
more than an hour in an open carriage,
and tonight is hard at work at his desk,
where he will remain until long after
midnight. This night is no exception
to the general rule. 1t can be said with
perfect assurance that all reports to the
effect that the president ia not in good
health are entirely without foundation

fortunate woman in life, end gathered

memory. Secretary Gueney OF the
fund devoted his entire time during
the morning to finding some clergy man
who would officiate. He met with the
greatest d fficulty, as many of the rever-
end gentlemen refused to act, giving as
the reason that the woman died by her
own hands. Finally minister living in
Brooklyn was procured. The funeral

New YORK Feb. 24.-Before Princess
Colonna and children LETT New York
Thursday for San Francisco she granted
an interview to the editor-in-chief Of
Le Code Italiana. The proof OF the in
terview was sent to the princess for re-
vision. She said:
II was indignant at the falsity OF
some accusations against the prince.
When some of the papers said the prince
was one of the most dangerous gamblers
and cheats, they mistook my husband
for Lamberto Colonna, who was expelled
from club in Rome some time ago for
cheating"
How about the statement made for
you by your step-brother, Mr.. Mackay ?"
"Oh. that is all true enough from the
first word to the last
Tho prince" the interviewer said,
"denies it most emphatically. and says
he never intended to kidnap any Of your
children"
II believe my husband denied the
statements in order to make it appear
that | came to America because feared
the judgment of the French tribunal.
Prince Colonna is q man of terribly
violent character. One night in Paris,
because | refused to ask nv step-father,
Mr.. Macksy, for more money for him,
he threw bottle OF wine az me, and il
was only by a miracle that l escaped
being struck. 1t is not true that Mr..
Msckay sent us one million dollars to
pay the princess debts, but it is
true that Mr.. Msckay often sent us
very large Gums of money to pay various
debts of my husband. 1t is also untrue
that was obliged to sell my wedding
presents TO pay his debts. But l was
forced to pawn my jewels several times.
Like all professional gamblers my hus-
band had his good and bad days at the
| gambling tables, but when he won he
wasted large sums of money. That is
nsss ALI however. that / nave against
him. His behavior toward me was un-
hearably insulting. / remained with
him eight years in the hope that there
would be some change, as l wanted to
do all | could TO repay the many
kindly acts of my uncle, Prince Stig.
liani. Finally could not bear it any
longer and l went to the courts. It was
not my fault because wanted to settle
everything quietly and within the walls
OF our house. l shall start at once for
San Francisco where | shall begin pro-
ceedings to obtain an annulment of the
marriage"
To the suggestion that this might be
out of the power of the San Francisco
courts. as the marriage had been per-.
formed in Paris, the princess replied
only with a meaning smile.

WILSON VERY ILL.

The Tariff Reformer Develops Typhoid
Fever in Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The following
telegram was received at the department
OF state this afternoon:
Cry OF MEXICO, Feb. 24.-Congress.
man Wilson has developed marked
typhoid fever. His general condition is
grave, though the fever lie yet OF mild
type. DR.. Millet Provost, whom sent
from here TO Aguas Calientes to see him,
has had him removed to Guadalajara,
which he considers location which
will give him the best sanitary sur
roundings in Mexico. To bring him to
this citv would be most dangerous. He
shall have the best attention.
[Signedl CRITTENDEN,
U. s. Consul General.
William H. Wilson, son and private
secretary of the congressman. received
dispatch from his father early in the
day, asking that the premium on his
life insurance policy, due February 9th,
be lookes after. While there is nothing
unusual about the request, 1t was taken
as rather suggestive by Wilson, jr., and
he was quite uneasy.
Cry OF MEXICO Feb. 24.-A special
coach was sent to take Congressman
Wilson and family to Guadalajara, which
was reached at 4 80 this afternoon. DR..
Provost says no doubt Wilson contracted
the germs of the disease in the sub
committee room in the basement of the
capitol at Washington, where be had
been hard at work for months preparing
the tariff bill. Doctor Underwood is
with Wilson as nurse for ths time being,
but if DR.. Provost goes again to GuAda-
ajsrs he will take with him trained
American nurses from this city. Wilson
has not been informed of the nature of
his disease, but his wife and Mr.. Tars-
ney were told what it WAS by DR.. Pre-
vost. They were very much shocked.

DECLINE OF SILVER.


1t Creates a Panic In Me xico ana Other
Countries.
CRY OF MEXICO, Feb 24.-The sharp
decline in silver yesterday on the Lon
don market sent exchange to unprece-
dented figures. London exchange was
quoted at 24d per dollar; New York ex-
change $1.02. rising and hour later two
points. The situation is exceedingly
grave. Bankers fear a further decline.
A number OF dealers in Euro
pean goods. who bought on six
months time direct from European
manufacturers find their position peril
Gus, baving experienced an increase of
30 per cent in exchange since The goods
were bought, thereby wiping out the
profits. The position of the large
French houses in the dry goods trade
who are importers is bad. The con-
sumption of this class OF goods has been
steadily declining as exchange has
gone up.
LONDON Feb. 24.-The Financial
News says Guatemala will today,
and other silver-using countries tomor-
row, default on foreign debt. With
most of them it 10 question of time.
"The worlds commerce is reelng

the appreciation Of gold has only
begun. Bimetallism in England is
gaining converts. 1t is understood
Sidderdale, ex-governor of the Bank of
England is strong advocate OF an inter
national agreement for q joint standard.
Bimetallism is no longer the creed OF a
handful of cranks. Nearly every econo-
mist of emineDce is on it's side. The in
ternational conference must be re-
opened France, Germany and the
United States are anxious that this be
done. Surely our interests are as great
as theirs.
''If in our pride as the gold mart of the
world we stand aside, the punishment
will fall upon our own heads. 1t de-
pends upon the British cabinet whether
the conference will be iruttiess or not"
