Der of Commerce, presided tonight at
the banquet given by that body.
Among those present were Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, the American am
bassador; James Brice, president Of
the board of trade; Lord Dunraven and
Lord Ashbourne. Responding for the
board of trade, Mr. Brice referred TO
the revival of Great Britain's trade
with America, and said he ventured
to congratulate Mr.. Bayard on the en-
ergy President Cleveland had dis
played in the tariff question. Contin-
uing, he said:
Our trade with America is distinct
ly review trade. This is especially
felt in Yorkshire. There is reason to
hope that the impulse given there will
soon spread to other branches of our
industry On the whole, therefore, tho
prospects are encouraging"
In replying Mr.. Bayard said that
nothing was more welcome to him
as an American than to hear English
cheer the prosperity of their country.
He dilated upon the exhibition Of
patriotism in the late debates in the
dian empire and the British navy, and
upon the approaching resignation of
Speaker Peel, who, he declared, il
lustrated perfectly the unselfshness
of public service, and who had earned
the commendation well done thou
good and faithful servant"
Mr.. Bayard said that he had no man
date to speak on the effect of the
1ay-iC ~ I; t.
the United States, he was glad He
then recounted the history of the in
ternational negotiations to establish
new rules of signals at sea, and re-
ferred to Americas agreement to sus-
pend action on the Washington de-
cisions to enable England to come into
harmony with other nations. Con-
Guiding, Mr.. Bayard said that private
property should be equally sacred on
water and land, and that individual
rights ought to be considered.

The hotel was a big two-story frame
structure, and the fire was roaring
through it when it was first discov-
cred by Jenkins, who aroused the fam
lily and guests as quickly as possible.
No effort could be made to save any
effects, and their only efforts were TO
arouse those who were asleep. All had
retired when the fire broke out in the
kitchen and spread rapidly to the sec
ond story. The only two stairways IN,
the building, one in front and the
other in the rear, were both cut off
when those from the lower floor gave
the alarm. All escaped by jumping
from the windows, and some sus-
tanned slight injuries in addition TO
their burns. There were over forty
people in the hotel. Jacob Coffner.
William Wilson, ]. K. Williams and
James Jenkins were in one room. They
were driven back from the hallway by
the flames, and all were badly burned
in trying to escape by the stairs.
Then they tried to raise the windows.
but the flames We're sweeping up SO
that they had to jump through a fur
mace of flame. They were also badly
hurt and burned, and Coffner is the
only one of the four who can recover.
In two other rooms on the second
floor were Eugene Sission, Homer Cot
lett and James Corley. The latter per-
1shed and their remains were charred
beyond recognition. The positions In
which their bodies were found indi-
Gated that they never got out of the
room, and all died together. The loss
was only $4,000.
All who escaped saved only their
night clothes and were provided for
today by neighbors and the stores.
The guests We're mostly lumbermen
who had little baggage.

dry. The walls of the Western News
paper union building began falling,

Belief General at Pierre That He
Is in Custody.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., March 13.-The be-
lief is strong her among state officials
and others that Gov. Sheldon has re-
ceived advices of the capture of Tay-
lor, though he will communicate moth
ing during the temporary absence of
Attorney General Crawford, who has
charge of the case. He informed a
party today that Taylor would likely
be in custody very soon, and con-
fessed that he had important news,
but would not divulge It. A man
named Lambert, said to be special
detective, left this morning for the
Southwest, and is supposed to have
gone to identify Taylor.
TAYLOR CERTAINLY CAPTURED.
TAMPA, Fla, March 13.-The in
formation concerning the arrest of W.
L. Taylor, the defaulting treasurer OF
South Dakota, in Mexico, by a Pinker-
ton agent last Sunday, comes by way
of Havana. No reason to doubt the
accuracy of the news exists. Taylor,
who went under his mothers name
(Mason0, and a compaion calling him
self Phelps, were traced to Port Tampa.
William A. Pinkerton himself was here
last week conducting the search and
stopped at the Tampa Bay hotel, an
though he were here for pleasurs.
He had an agent with him. He learned
that Taylor had sailed by the steamer
Mascotte for Havana a few days be-
fore. The agent went to Havana and
though the Cuban police discovered
that Taylor had sailed two days pre-
viously on the steamship Orizala for
Vera Cruz. A Pinkerton agent in
Vera Cruz was notified, and he is re-
ported to have missed Taylor at the
steamer in Vera Cruz, to have fol-
lowed him up and to have arrested
him in the City of Mexico on last sun
day :;
SIOUX CITY, To-, March 13.-Jour-
naPs Pierre, S. D., special: Horner
and Stewart and c. T. Mccoy, attor-
neys for Taylor's bondsmen, have fled
their answer in the suit of the state
to recover on the bond. The points
made are as follows:
First-The bond is void, because 1t is
excessive. The constitution places the
bond at $250,000, and the defense claims
that the state eXtorted an additional
100000, thus violating the entire bond
Second-In case this point is over
ruled the defense holds that the ex-
cess of 100000 is certainly void.
Third-The defense holds that $3.50. 900
of the amount defaulted was stolen
during Taylor's. first term, and is con-
sequently not charge upon his second
bondsmen.
Fourth-The law provides that at the
expiration of the first term the treas
urer shall make a full and complete
accounting to the governor or other
accounting officer, and that the terms
of this settlement shall be indorsed
upon the new bond; that as this was
not done the new bond was invalid.
Fifth-Two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars of the default came
from the floating funding warrants.
The defense holds that issuance Of
these warrants was contrary to the
constitutional provision limiting the
states debt, and that this amount can
not be recovered, as it was in no sense
legal state money.

HAVERHILL, Mass, March 13.-
Walter Scott Hale of HaverhiH to-
night confirmed a report current this
afternoon that Thomas Gilroy If.
of New York, son of ex-Mayor Gil
roy, and Hale's brother-in-law. had
as the result of a violent quarrel in
the cafe of the Parker house, chal-
lenged Hale to fight duel, and the
challenge was accepted. The quar-

guardian. Hale states that he, ac-
companied by a friend, Sidney W.
Young, of Haverhill, went to New
York early in the week to notifv
Hale's mother of the action to re-
move her as guardian. She was
found at the home of ex-Mayor. Gil
roy, and her counsel, Mr.. Badger.
was present at the interview be-
tween her and her son, during which
the lawyer told Hale that he had
better look out for young Gilroy. ais
he latter had threatened to break
every bone in his body. -
Hale and Young reached Boston on
their return from New York this morn
ing, and called at the Parker house FOR
Gilroy, who, with his wife, was "a
guest at the hotel. When Gilroy ap-
peared, Hale accused him of living on
money from Hale's income Gilroy re-
piled that he could not have anything
to do at that time with Hale, as Hale
was his physical superior, but that sle
would meet him with pistols at any
New York hotel. An exchange of cpl
thets occurred, during which a crowd
gathered, and Gilroy escaped to his
room. Hale stated that he is prepared.

FREIGHT RATES.
House Railroad Committee Con-
sfders Fefg,s Bill.

The house railroad committee had a
meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
slider Mr.. .Feig's bill for reduction of
the freight rates on ore and coal, and
listened to arguments from represent
atives of various interests. Repre-
sentative McInnis stated that the peo-
pie of the iron range would be ad-
versely affected by the operation Of
the bill, as it's tendency would be to
decrease wages Of employees. A strong
protest against the bill was presented
by William c. Hays, the representative
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, in behalf of $4,000 railroad en-
ployes of the state. His argument was
that the curtailment of the freight re-
ceipts meant a corresponding cut in
wages, and he cited numerous figures
to show that the companies could not
do profitable business at a reduced
rate. Mr.. McInnis stated that the re-
5duction of the ore rates would be bene-
ficial only to companies in the iron
business in other states, and that there
was no grievance among the shippers
In this state.

Just here the cold, unresponsive feel
ing they had run against began to
have it's natural effect on the commit
teemen. They didn't care much
whether the 'offer'' went to the senate
or not. In fact they would be. per-
fectly willing that the thing should go

And in the inside pocket of Repre-
sentative Downs, besides the Gus
tomary SIS, there is snugly resting
the "offer" that bears the signature
of Robert Pratt. The chances are, OF
course, that it will be presented to
the house this morning; but it-is vio-

wegian steamship Fulton, Capt. Jacob
son. from Bocas Del Torro. was in col
lision today with the British ship Aus

yards from the Austria, sweryed in
her course and crashed into the Aus
tria's port, damaging the ship several
thousand dollars and staving a large
hole in the port of the Fulton. The
steamer careened to one side and be-

British ship Bustard, a small coast de-
Tense gunboat carrying one gun, sta
toned at Sheerness. to proceed to

From the fact that a Japanese officer
