Pinkerton's AGENTS Finally Ran him to
Earth IN Merico.
TAMPA, Fla, March 13.-The information
concerning the arrest of W. w. Taylor, the
defaulting Treasurer of South Dakota,
comes by way of Havana.
No reason to doubt the accuracy of the
news exists. Taylor, who went under his
mothers name, Mason, and companion
calling himself Phelps were traced to Port
Tampa. William A. Pinkerton himself
was here last week conducting the search
and stopped at the Tampa Bay Hotel, as
though he were here for pleasure.
He had an agent with him. He learned
that Taylor had sailed by the steamer
Mascotte a few days before. The agent
went to Havana and discovered that Tay-
lor had sailed two days previously for
Vera Cruz. a Pinkerton agent in Vera
Cruz was notified, and he is reported to
have missed Taylor at the steamer in
Vera Cruz, to have followed him up and to
have arrested him in the City of Mexico
last Sunday.

FACTORY BUILDING BURNED.
WITH IT WENT THE WORKSHOP
OF NICOLA TESLA, THE
INVENTOR.
DISASTER ON THE EVE OF A GREAT
DISCOVERY IN ELECTRIC
LIGHTING.

New YORK, March 13.-The large factory
building at 80 and IS South Fifth avenue
was burned to-day causing loss of $780,
600. 1t was occupied on all but the top
floor by ellis g. Googhan, steamftters'
supplies; and the top floor was used as a
mandatory and workshop by Nicola
Tesla, the electrician.
The loss of ellis & Googhan is SEQ, 200,
of Tesla $40, 600 and of the owners of the
building $4,000.
The destruction of Tesla's workshop
comes just when it was whispered in the
scientific world that the inventor was on
the eve of one of the greatest of discoveries
connected with the problem of improving
the electric light.
1t is feared the disaster may result in the
physical collapse of the great inventor. He
has long been in state bordering on ex-
haustion through overwork. Mr.. Tesla is
the controlling electrical engineer of the
Niagara Power Company and of many
other important concerns.

while others report the crop as badly
blown out on sandy land or much dam
aged, but late sown is better. Rye is gen.
orally good.
Nebraska-Reports are quite good, al
though in some sandy localities the crop
has been hurt by high winds blowing it
out. Too dry is reported in some cases,
but a great many counties have excellent
prospects for crop. Rye is, on an aver
age, better than wheat.
In Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas
little has been grown any year, and the
conditions will not greatly affect the crop
of the country. The States that grow
the largest amount of winter wheat report
the condition good and the adverse con-
ditions are quite generally reported from
States that grow omparatively small
quantities. From this it will be seen
that the general average is good and that
large winter wheat crop may be looked
for

RAILRO4D LANDS.
Secretary Smith Renders an Opinion Re
garding Indemnity Tracts.

Secretary Smith Renders an Opinion Re-
gardi,,g Indemnity Tracts.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Secretary Smith
has rendered an important opinion in a
decision affecting the right of railroad COM
panies to select indemnity lands. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company made
application to select q, 102 acres of land in
the Yakima land district as indemnity for
losses in the Ceur d'Alene Reservation,
Idaho.
This application was decided first, be-
cause the selection was not arranged tract
for tract; second, because the right of the
company to make good in one State the
losses in another is questioned, and the
question is also raised asto the right OF the
company to select indemnity lands occu-
pied as Indian reservations.
The company asked for review and the
Secretary goes into the matter at consider
able length. He holds that the grant to
the Northern Pacific was not confined to
the State limits and that selections for in
iemnity land can be made in any State
for losses in another, but with the reserya-
ton that the indemnity must be selected
as near the losses as possible.
The commissioner is directed to ascer-
lain whether lieu lands are to be obtained

RoseJery HilI Resign.

New YORK, March 13-A special dispatch
from London to morning paper says
Lord Rosebery, owing nominally to the
present state of his health, has determined
to place his resignation in the Queen S
hands.
The real object of to-day's Cabinet coun-
Gil was not to consider matter relatively
so unimportant as the succession of the
speakership, as has been given out, but to
discuss the date of dissolution. 1t is likely
that this long-expected event will take
place Immediately after the Easter recess.

DETROIT, Mich, March 13.-The Evening

sensational interview with prominent ex-
member of the A. P A, in which it is
alleged that prominent official of the
order received $4,000 from Colonel Bliss, one
OF the candidates for nomination as Gov
ernor last year, and various sums from

PRIEST KARMINSKI UPHELD
CONSTABLES SENT TO HELP HIM
HOLD POSSESSION OF ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH.
RIOTERS ARRESTED AND WARRANTS
FOR MEMBERS OF BOTH FAC
TONS ISSUED.

OMAHA, March 13.-The District Court,
which recently tried the case, to-day sent
constables TO the church 10 maintain Priest
Karminski in possession. When the trials
of the rioters are concluded they will be
charged with contempt of the District
Court Eight of the. rioters were arrested
to-day, charged with assault with intent to
murder, and were released under $1,000
bonds.
1t is the intent of the defendants to issue
warrants for the arrest of those who are
now in possession of the church. II this
is done they will have hearing at the
same time that the members of the other
faction have theirs next week. A warrant
was issued for the arrest of Priest Kar-
minski and it was served this morning.
The complaint charges him with assault
upon Xavier Dargaczewski with intent to
kill. Dargaczewski is the man who was
shot in the legs by the priest.
Bishop Scannell said to-day:
81 don't recognize this man Karminski
as Roman Catholic priest. He claims to
have been ordained by Archbishop Vii
lati. There is no such Archbishop in the
church. There is a man in Wisconsin by
that name who calls himself Bishop, but
with no right whatever"
Everything is quiet in the vicinity of st.
Paul's Church and no further trouble is an
ticipated, at least for the next few DAYS.
Members of the two factions congregated
in different saloons to-day and were
quietly talking over yesterdays troubles.
1t is thought though that if the church
building and property is not taken posses
sion of by large force of officials, more
trouble will be caused. Members of the
Scannell faction have given expression to
the intention of getting possession of the
building after the present trouble blows
over.

nearer Ceur d'Alene than Yakima. He
also holds that losses for an Indian reserva-
ton are subject to indemnity. In
the matter of selection tract by
tract the company claimed the reser-
walton lands lost had not been sur
veyed so such selections could not be made
in the same way, but the Secretary thinks
sufficient surveys have been made on the
reservation to enable such selection.
The Secretary quotes opinions by Attor-
ney-General Garland and Secretary Villas
in support of his findings.

OTHERS FATALLY HURT.
StairWays Quickly Cut Off
and Escape Made
Impossible.
MEN C0RNERED IN ROOMS.
In Short Time the Building Was in
Ashes and the Victims Burned
Past Recognition.

HENDRICKS, W. Va, March 13.-The ho-
tel of ]. D. Jenkins at Maceville, four
miles from here, was burned last night.
Three lives were lost and four persons in
jured. The hotel was big two-story frame
structure, and the fire was sweeping
through when first discovered by Mrs.
Jenkins, who aroused the family and
guests as quickly as possible. No effort
could be made to save any effects.
All had retired when the fire broke out
in the kitchen and rapidly spread to the
second story. The only two stairways in
the building, one in the front part and the
other in the rear, were both cut off when
those from the lower floor gave the alarm.
Those who escaped jumped from the
windows, and some sustained slight iniur.
les in addition to their burns. Every room
was burned.
There were over forty people In the
hotel. Jacob Coffner, William Wilson, J.
K. Williams and James Jenkins were in
one room. They were driven back from
the hallway exit by the flames, and all
were badly burned in trying to escape by
the stairway. Then they tried the win
dows, but the flames were raising up so
they had to Jump through a furnace Of
flames. They were also badly hurt and
burned. Coffner is the only one of the
four who can recover.
In two rooms on the second floor were
Eugene Sisson, Homer Catlett and James
Corley. They all persisted and their re-
mains were so charred as to be beyond
recognition. 1t is believed they were suffo-
Gated and unable to get out of their rooms.
The loss was only $50OO but nothing
was saved. The building was burned to
the ground in a short time. The guests
were mostly lumbermen and had but little
baggage.

REFUSED IMPORTATION.
So a Suspicious Steamer Was Taken Into
CUSTODY,

LONDON, March 13.-A steamship with
two smokestacks arrived at Gravesend yes
terday, and refused information as to her
destination. In consequence, the Govern

small coast defense gunboat carrying one
gun. to take charge of the steamer. +
This was done and guard was place

ese officer was found on board the steam,
ship, it is presumed that the captured yes
sci is either Japanese ship or else a

ment.

by the former from the Tyler lode at Coeur

portion, but the Last Chance asked that
