Nearly All the Business Portion of the
 Town Wiped Out by a Connagration.
 HAYS CITY, Kan, April 1. - Fire started at Hays City at 1 o'clock Satur- day afternoon. A high south wind prevailed and at o'clock the south side of the town had fallen before the flames and the fire was spreading rapidly on the north side. The fire broke out in livery stable, two blocks southeast of the Union Pacific depot, and in short time the row of business houses on the north side of the street was ablaze, and then the flames leaped across the railroad tracks to the north side of the town.
 As far as can be learned there were burned: Farmers lumber yard, Bank of Hayes City, two hardware stores, one drug store, two grocery stores, novelty store, bakery, harness shop, Union Pacific land office, newspaper office, two saloons, one barber shop and about fifteen dwellings. The loss is estimated at about S75, ,OOO, partly in- Snred

compartments, one feels by the time the speaking begins like telling the rest of the world to draw on him. There fore, l, on my own motion, would never quote banquet speech on anybody be- cause l do not think it is exactly the fair thing"
 Another good story is told by the witty Mississippi statesman He was elected to the Fiftieth congress by a slim majority over his opponent, and 1t was with much difficulty that he cap tured tho election and maintained his seat in the house.
 During the first session of the Fiftieth congress MT. Allen concluded that he would spend the Christmas holidays at Tupelo. Several days after he had been home while walking about the house he sprained his ankle. One day when he was hobbling about the streets of the town helping himself along with the aid of a cane he was met by an old maid, a friend of the family, who seemed very anxious about his welfare and inquired of him why he was limping about in that way.
 'Oh!' replied Allen, "I got lame rum ming for congress at the last election"
 During the extra session of the recent congress which was called by President Cleveland for the purpose of repeating the Sherman silver purchasing act, Con- gressman Allen made strong speech on the monetary question. In conclu- sion he said that the condition of the country under existing legislation and the proposed bill reminded him of the story told of the farmer who went away for visit and took his family with him to see his relatives In the city. "The affairs of the farm" said he, 'were left in the hand of their trusty overseer, Uncle Eben, who was charged partic- ularly by the farmer on his departure that Uncle Eben must let him hear often as to how things were going. Daily letters were sent telling how prosperous the crops were and one day Uncle Eben wrote as follows: Every thing is all fine as usual. The horse, Frank, has been sick with the glanders. l gave him the medicine as directed and he is now well of the disease, but he is dying of the remedy"
 MT. Allen said that that was the pre- else condition in which the country was lingering. It had recovered from tho results of tho operation of the Sherman law, but was suffering from the remedy which was being given by the legisla- tors in the house.
 At banquet of the Gridiron club one evening speaking to the toast "Our Flag" Mir. Allen said: When 1 was a boy our flag was different from the flag under which now Loyalty live. It was confederate flag, and was a young confederate soldier. It was conceded by everybody in the rebel armies that was the bravest private soldier in the ranks. On one occasion when battle was raging, I charged whole regi- ment of Yankees and was moving the"

NAUGHTY GIRLS.
Juvenile Female Rioters Smash Things In tha Stnto Hr..,a nf Chicn1 1n

Juvenile Female Rioters Smash Things In
 the State Home at Chicago.
 CHICAGO, March 29-Three members of the board of trustees of the state home for juvenile female offenders were given practical illustration yes terday evening of the insubordination which has reigned among the inmates for several weeks past. Mrs Charles Henrotin, Mrs. J. D. Harvey and Mrs G. N. Holt spent the afternoon at the home, and took supper with the inmates. The thirty girls confined there took advantage of the presence of the representatives of the board of management to show what they could do in the way of rioting. They succeeded so well that they smashed nearly all the crockery in the house, dismantled the dining-room furniture, broke windows, threw the contents of the pantry about the premises, filled the air with shouts and then refused to go to their rooms at the command of the police. It required three wagon loads of police to quell the riot, and it was found necessary to carry the majority of the girls to their rooms by main strength, and to leave policeman on guard throughout the night at the door of each room occupied by the girls.
 The outbreak was the result of a meeting held by the girls in the after noon, when it was decided to show by breaking the furniture resentment for the partiality shown by the manage ment, as claimed by the girls, for Mamie Davis, who was allowed to go to her home. Mamie Davis, the girls claim, was the ring leader among them, and when she was allowed to go home the others de- cided to take advantage of the presence of the mbers of the board of man. agement to show their resentment for the alleged partiality. During the riot Mrs. Henrotin and the other ladies were forced to remain in the room and witness the riot, the girls having locked the doors.

STATE OF TRADE.
Dun's Review Reports More Satisfactory
 Signs of. Improvement.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-R. G. Dunn
 Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says: Signs of improvement are the more satisfactory because neither accom- panied or apparently produced by a speculative craze. Dealings in stocks, cotton and wheat are not diverting all the interest and capital from pro- ductive industries and legitimate trade, though these products are all shade stronger. But railroad earnings, bank clearings and industrial indications are more encour. aging this week. It is a remarkable feature that the lifting this year be- gins at the bottom, so to speak; raw materials are raised before there is any larger demand for their finished products, thing not often done with success Hides rose, then leather and then shoes; cotton rose and afterward some cotton goods; coke was advanced and afterward Bessemer pig. In all these cases it is reasoned that the larger demand for consumption, though yet wanting, must come when it is seen that prices are going up.
 Raw cotton has been hoisted until a stronger market for goods resulted, with some advances in price. The tone of the dry goods market has been decidedly irregular, though it does not yet appear that rail distribution has correspondingly increased. But stocks of retail dealers are light, and when they feel that prices are bound to rise, the demand may grow rapidly.
 The cotton speculation reached halt with the enormous realization of last week, and sales have been third smaller with no advance. The season is late and there are solid reasons for reducing acreage, factories and traders being able to exert powerful influ- ence if they choose But the supply of cotton now in sight or in spinners' hands is over 2,2OO,OOO bales more than the worlds requirements for this year, with receipts for five months yet to come.
 Guesses about the condition of wheat have varied widely this week and prices are not much higher, the net advance being l k cents. Atlantic ex- ports, flour included, have been l, ,391,- O9l bushels, against l, ,446,6l last year, and for the month 6,511, ,7Os bushels, against s,9O9, 734 last year, and mean while western receipts for the month have been 7,747, 361 bushels, against 7,Os4,5 5l3 last year. Corn is 1 cent lower, while pork is 75 cents per bar rel and lard and hogs 15 cents per 100 pounds higher.
 The failures this week have been 234 in the United States, against 23s last year, and 42 in Canada, against 30 last year

THE WALLER CASE.


Nothing Official Received at Washington
 About the Ex-Consul.
 WASHINGTON, March 2s.-It was said at the white house yesterday after noon that the telegram from Gov. Nor Till, of Kansas, urging the president to take active measures at once for the protection and release of ex-United States Consul Waller, reported to have been unjustly imprisoned by the French government in Madagascar, under sentence of court-martial, had not yet been received by the president. The state department has had no confirmation of the report from United States Consul Wetter at Tamatave, nor from Mr Campbell, our consul at Mauritius, which is the near est cable point to Madagascar. It is probable that the governors message may cause the state department to cable to one of these consuls for an account of the affair, instead of waiting until report comes to hand through the mails from this re- mote point, which, though it might be sufficient in ordinary cases, would hardly meet the requirements of case involving the imprisonment of an American citizen.

 TOPEKA, Kan, March 2S-J. w. Moore, of Marion county, mem Der of the live stock sanitary commission, has received news of the death at Foo Chow, China, of his brother-in-law, Rev. Nathan Sites, the senior mission ary in the Methodist Episcopal church in China. He went out first in 1881, ac- companied by his wife, and was one of the most successful missionaries in the field. On one occasion when en- tering new district where the officials were particularly hostile to Christian ity, he was set upon by a mob and left for dead, but soon recovered and re- stunned his work. He was thoroughly master of the Chinese language, and when not presiding over the confer ences in that country he acted as in terpreter for the presiding bishop. He was twice sent to the general confer ence of the Methodist church in this country, bringing with him upon one occasion Rev. Dr. Sia Sek Ong, whom he introduced to President Cleveland.

Three Days in q Cave.

The sensations of man lost in cave are indescribable. Two young men in Tennessee recently found cave in Lookout mountain and started to ex- plore it. The cave was disappoint- ment, nothing but narrow passages, and after going some five miles they started to return, when their candles went out, evidently on account of some noxious gas. Then an anxious search revealed the horrible fact that they had used all their matches. They had blazed their way from the entrance with chalk-marks, but in the dark these were useless as guide, and there was nothing to do but wait, in the hope that they would be missed and searched for. Three days and nights they waited, and when rescued they were in m al- most idiotic state of mind from ccld, hunger and fear.

4 SAVINGS BANK SUSPENDS.
The Oldest Financial Institution of New
 Hampshire Closes Its Doors.

Hampshire Closes Its Doors.
 NASHUA, N. H., March 2S. - The Nashua savings bank, for forty-one years the pride of New Hampshire, re- garded as safe and sound as the rock of Gibraltar, has closed its doors, and will probably never resume business. The institution has S2, 700, GOO in deposit, and its depositors outnumber those of any other bank in the state. Its de- positors were mainly poor people, and the excitement last night among the mill help over the announcement of the suspension was intense. The bank was heavily loaded with western farm mortgages, and it barely struggled through the panic of 1893, when a run was made on it. The past six months losses on real estate under foreclosure were S45, 900, and inability to collect in- terest and notes on western holdings, followed by the demands of depositors, has left it with little available cash and quick assets

 Formed a Combination.
 WASHINGTON, April Ut is now re- garded by the members of the steering committees of both parties as practi cally settled that the republicans will reorganize the senatorial committees as soon as the Fifty-fourth congress as- sembles. The republicans have not contemplated any sort of compact with the senators who were elected as pop. ulists and, therefore, their ability to organize the committees was left de- pending upon the support of the silver senators and the consent of the dem. ocrats.
 The democratic leaders are willing that there should be an organized plan provided it is done in manner which they consider fair and it is understood that the silver senators are assured of being taken care of as they desire by the republicans. On this plan gen eral understanding has been reached without going into details. It is said that silver majority will still be maintained in Lthe financial committee and that there will probably be dis tribution of the appropriations among several committees

The Attempt to Suppress a Member Leads

 LINCOLN, Neb., March 29.-The sem ate was the scene of great confusion yesterday afternoon by personal en- counter between Senator Stewart and the sergeant-at-arms, which precipi- tated a free fight between a num- Der of senators and bystanders. Senator Stewart was called to order while speaking on the tax bill, and upon his ignoring the chair the sergeant-at-arms was called in.l He refused to sit down and the two men scuffled for a moment, then the sergeant-at-arms grasped the senator's long chin whiskers with his right hand. In the meantime the senators and spectators had gathered in a circle around the struggling men. Senator Jeffries, a populist, excited ly elbowed his way through the crowd to the center and undertook to assault the sergeant-at-arms. Sena- tors McKeeby and Hitchcock at once forced him back to his seat. Dale, another populist senator, sprang into the melee, and grasped the sergeant at-arms. Senator Sloan threw himself upon Dale, and with the assistance of Senator Hitchcock, forced him back to his chair No other senators under took to interfere and the fight was ended.
