FIRE AT AN ASYLUM.

ings Remains Standing.
ANNA Ill.), Jan. 4.-Terrible confusion
prevailed during the burning of all the
old buildings at the Insane Asylum, and
it is considered remarkable that many
lives were not lost. Only the north wing
remains standing. The flames were first
discovered near the roof OF the main
building, and cannot be accounted for.
The asylum has water works, but for
some reason they were ineffective in
fighting the fire. The plugs seemed
frozen.

Governor stones Message to the Leg
islature.
ST. Louis, Jan. 4.-Governor Stone, in
his message to the Legislature, asks,
among other things, for an increased ap-
preparation for the support of the Ma
tional Guard. He says: "The mainte-
nance of a fairly equipped militia is not
only III conformity to our theories of Gov
ernment, but positive necessity. The
presence of an adequate and effective
force of this kind removed all excuse for
the employment of the regular army in
purely domestic affairs. 1t was never in
tended by the fathers that the Federal
military should be used without invita-
ton to do or to aid in doing those things
which are incumbent on the police or
civil authorities of the States. The the
ory of our Government contemplates
that our chief reliance for military force
shall be upon the militia, which is a Ma
tional as well as a State organization. 1t
is to be hoped the military will not be
required. The present force is not large
enough, although l think large enough TO
meet any probable contingency"
He reviewed the general affairs of the
State, showing them to be in good condi-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that from
business point of view the past two
years have been characterized by the
most trying circumstances, among which
he mentioned the financial panic of 1898,
the Coxey movement and the coal and
railroad strikes.
OF the latter strike Governor Stone
says: "During the railroad strike, while
both the militia and the regular army
were galloping over many of our neigh
boring States; while battles were being
fought, property destroyed and men
slain; while passion was high, excite
ment intense and tumults universal, no
instance of disorder occurred in this State
OF sufficient magnitude to attract more
than passing notice. Many thousands
Of men abandoned their posts, and for
a few days several railroads were more or
less embarrassed because of these local
conditions. But it is well-kuown fact
that the railroads of Missouri were far
more affected by what occurred without
than within the State. The peace of this
great State was scarcely broken.
Throughout this entire conflict no in
stance of disorder occurred which could
not be easily controlled by the local
constabulary. There never was a time
when there was any real need for outside
assistance
lie recommends, among other things,
the establishment of a Board of Pardons
and Inspections; the establishment of
agencies and means for properly adver-
tising the resources of Missouri, with a
view to inducing immigration; the ces-
sion TO the \ United States OF certain lands
TO be used by the General Government
in connection with the improvement of
Usage River, and movement to secure,
in connection with other State assem-
blies, uniformity of legislation.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4.-The expected

Salvador, and the possible nomination of
Ministers from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. puts new light on the Guatemalan-
Mexican boundary negotiations. Evil
IDENTIFY the object is to support Guatemala
and bring force 90 make Mexico back
down from its attitude. All appearances
are that Guatemala is making efforts to
form Central American League against
Mexico for the settlement of old scores.
The Guatemalan Minister is alleged to
have telegraphed after his official recep-
ton that the response of Diaz was ap-
plauded, contrary to diplomatic prece-
dent; that he used threatening language
and prejudiced a question of high inn
portance TO all Central America.
The policy of the Minister is evidently
not pleasing 10 his chief, Tor it is alleged
that Barrios has requested that he pursue
more conciliatory policy. The policy
or Maryscal and Diaz is noted as forbear-
ing, but unless the envoy takes a differ
ent track affairs may become so strained
that his recall will follow.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
reached an acute phase to-day. The first
official act of Henglemuller, the new Aus
trian Minister, was the lodgment of a
protest against that paragraph of the
sugar schedule Act which imposes an ad-
ditional duty of one-tenth Of per cent.
on sugar coming to the United States from
countries which pay export bounty on it.
This action was taken to-day, and the
ground taken by the Minister is similar
to that which formed the basis of the pro-
test of Germany, that additional duty
paid discriminates against Austria, and
consequently is a violation of the treaty
of commerce with that nation. So far no
threat of retaliation accompanied the
protest, but in this Henglemuller is but
following the example set by the Ger
man Minister, and the next step undoubt-
edIy will be in the same direction.
The United States is already at odds
with Cuba, Germany and Austria over
the sugar duty, and in the case of France
there are already indications of the adop-
ton OF retaliatory policy in the imposi-
ton of restrictions upon our meat trade
and the importation OF American wheat
and flour.
This was the only subject under dis
cussion by the Cabinet to-day, and as far
as can be gathered, if Congress fails to
come to the relief of the Executive by
the removal of the duty which is sup
posed to cause the trouble, then resort
must be had to retaliation which will
either open new countries to our exports
or close ours to the European countries.
Senators Cockrell, German and Jones
Dems.) and Allison (Rep.) had an in
formal meeting to-day to discuss the
prospects of correcting the present tariff
law by amendments to the urgency de-
ficiency bill. After the conference it was
stated that no attempt would be made to
make corrections. 1t is understood that
Allison rather guardeGly expressed the
opinion that the Republicans would not
look with favor upon the amendment
scheme. The Democrats who assem- bled
at the conference gave it as their opinion
that there would be no attempt to pass
any tariff Legislation during this session.

Evil. of Tea and Coffee.


The Evils Of Tea and Coffee Drinking
have become apparent throughout the civil
lied countries. The medical profession has
thrown its weight Of authority against the
practice. and frequently referred to the
baneful results occasioned by the free use
of these articles as beverage. Every con-
slmer should realize that coffee is not an
aliment but medicament, possessing
powerful active principle or alkaloid known
as "caffein." which produces serious de-
rangements of the digestive organs and
the nervous system.
Dyspeptics. nervous persons and all those
suffering from Indigestion, insomnia and
general debility should try the great n.y.

It was announced q week or SO ago In
The Star that the president Of the Wash
ington Light Infantry Athletic Association
had offered the use of the gymnastic ap-
paratus belonging to the association to the
Young Mems Christian Association. Since
then General Secretary Pugh has had sew
eral conferences with representatives OF the
Light Infantry, all Of which have been very
satisfactory. The terms Of the offer to the
association were that the Young Mems
Christian Association should have the use
of the hall and apparatus whenever the
hall was not being used for drills ana was
not rented. By this arrangement men wear

is also at their disposal every afternoon OF
every day, and also in the evenings of all
the other days Of the week. executing be-
tween the hours Of and pm. The gym
nasium of the Washington Light Infantry
was purchased some years ago. but as 1t
has never been used to any great extent 1t
is In fine condition. While not as extensive
as the one that went up in smoke In the
fire on New York avenue. still 1t possesses
all the essentials Of first-class gym
nasium. The Y. M. c. A., in addition to be-
ing able to practice on apparatus which
they are familiar with, will by the new ar
rangement be in possession Of spring
board, wrestling machine and punching
bag.
In few days Secretary Pugh intends to
call a meeting of the young men who are
interested in athletics. and place before them
the offer Of the Infantry. and at the same
time explain to them the Intentions of the
Y. NJ. c. A. in the matter. These. 1t Is
understood. will be that no regular in
structor Is to be engaged. but that classes
will be formed and placed in charge Of a
half dozen or so of Prof. Sims former
pupils who are capable of handling classes.
Fred Doyle, the crack club swinger. will
probably have charge of the Indian club
and dumb-bell class. Morsell of the bars,
and possibly Koran Of tumbling. The offer
is the more acceptable to the Y. NJ c. A.
just now for the reason that the athletic
park rented by the association. at the corr
ner of Massachusetts, avenue and North
Capitol street. is to be given up the last of
this month.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your editorial comment in Mondays Star,
regarding the new deal of the Washington
ard Georgetown and Rock Creek railways,
leads me to remark that am in hearty ac-
cord with your suggestion that street and
steam railroads may we'll profit by the les
son here given Of low traffic rates. For
years l have talked of lower railroad pas
senger rates and have argued the case with
some prominent railroad men, and although
assured always that reduced rates would
mean bankruptcy, l have never been con-
WINGED that such dread calamity would
follow. We need not go far back into the
history of street railways to learn what
railroads would but follow their example,
and give the public low rate, l am con-
WINGED that a largely increased business
would be assured. If it pays the railway
companies to make a single fare rate at
times of great conventions, conclaves, G.
A. R. encampments and of similar gather
ings, why not establish a single fare rate
and have the increased traffic every day?
The American people are travelling people,
and are quick to avail themselves of oppor
tunities. Our country Is one of magnificent
distances, and our families are widely scat
tered over its broad lands. Under such cir
cumstances, with the railway fares down
to a rate within the means of the average
man, II Is rea sonable to assume that travel
for pleasure would increase enormously
whereas the bulk of travel today is for
business only. / am satisfied that the time
will come when the railroads. gathering
wisdom with advancing years. will cut the
present passenger tariff at least ore-haif,
and regret that it was not done at an
earlier date. The first to inaugurate this
great reform will live long in the memory
of the people. G. T. F.

By the provisions Of the will Of the late
James w. st. Clair the sum of 500 was
given to Foundry M. E. Church, to be used
in raising the funded debt Of the church.
At the time Of the death of the testator, it
Is claimed that there was no funded debt Of
the church, although the amount was re-
ceiyed by the trustees of the church. The
executor of the estate, Zachariah 8. Buck
Ter, entered suit for the amount before
Justice Of the peace, Justice O'Neal, on the
ground that there was no funded debt, and
that the bequest was therefore void. Judg
ment was given In favor Of the executor.
and the trustees of the church have noted
