COTTON PALACE.
The Fire WINS Che Que Topic of Dis-
cussion in the Central city Yes
tcrdny-History of the building.
The Palace omecrs.

Waco. Tex. Jan. 20.-The destruction
OF the Cotton Palace was the sole topic
OF discussion to-day in this city.
The ,blackened ruins, which are all
that remain Of the handsome structure
OF which Waco prided herself were WIS.,
tied by thousands to-day. There is no
satisfactory explanation of the cause
Of the fire beyond the statement that ii
was incendiary. The electric light wires
entering the building were all dead
and hence could not have caused the
fire. Such Precautions were in prac-
tice concerning the protection OF the
building that fire was almost impossible
unless of incendary origin.
The sight last night when the entire
building was enveloped in flames was
one never to be forgotten. The large
space occupied by the building, which
as Iar as fire is concerned. might lust
as well have been filled with oil. gave
the fire an extent and ferceness while
II lasted never seen before. II was
terrific. The Gazette correspondent was
on THE ground early and observed the
progress of the flames before the dome
Of the building zen. The dome noted
as llue. the draft pulling the flames
with the rapidly OF lightning from
either end Of the building and shooting
them up in high Sheets far into the

coLauIrr's TAX BILL.
Measure That VIII Force the Tax
Dodgers to She'll Out.

Austin, Tex. Jan. Ex-senator o. D..
Colqultts bill to force the collection OF
back taxes is now In the hands OF ju-
dietary committee No. /, and there is
strong probability OF favorable re-
port 1t is certain to pass the senate,
It's friends say. This is a sweeping
measure, and If placed on the statute
books is certain to create CONSERVATION
IN the ranks OF the taX-dOdgers of the
state. The Colquitt bill provides that
instead Of the collector selling land
for taxes and reporting to the comp
troller OF state, the county attorney
shall institute suit in the district
courts and sell the lands on which
taxes are delinquent to the highest
bidder. This Will give titles from the
state and make them gilt-edged and
OF the very best tenure OF course there
Is a constitutional provision that pro-
Vides the delinquents shall have two
years grace in which to redeem the
lands sold by order OF the district court
There are 100000 due in back taxes on
land, and on delinquent poll tax nc
count $l,b00,O0O The taN-dodgers in
the Lone star state are numerous, to
Judge from this formidable array OF
ngures. Senator Colquitt wants the law
so amended that these tax dodgers can
be reached and made to disgorEe.
Since the COlqultt bill was introduced
in the senate and published In the pub
lie prints its author has been over
whelmed with letters from citizens
scattered from Galveston 10 Amarillo
and from Denison to Laredo. The
writer's give the bill fattering indorsc-
ment and cite cases in their respective
localities of men OF wealth who dodge
tax paying and laugh at the law. I'm
der the present conditions, owners of
land permit 1t to be sold year In and
year out, When they get ready to re-
deem 1t they do SO If 1t is to their in
terest. One writer says two judges In
Dallas county have not paid taxes for
years and men OF prominence through
out the state are placed in the same
category. Senator Colquitt said to The
Gazette correspondent tonight. ''If this
bill becomes g law It will result in
100000 in back taxes being placed in
the state treasury within the next six
months"
