ing and the Sports Had to
Shovel Snow.
FAST AND FURIOUS CONTEST.
Honors Were Easy Until the Chicago
Lad Found His Opponents
Jaw.

DULUTH, MINI, March IA train
sports pulled out of the Union depot over
the st. Paul and Duluth line this after
noon to be conveyed to an unknown battle
ground, where it's passengers were to wit
ness fight to finish between Jimmy
Murphy of Chicago and Billy Patterson of
San Francisco, both lightweights. At 4:15
P. NJ, after twenty run, the train
came to stop and the crowd started out
to select suitable battlefield.
After some little time, most of which
was spent in wading through snow, climb
ing over logs and fences, an opening was
found in the woods and men with shovels
and picks began clearing away the snow
for ring. After some labor everything
was ready and the two principals were
called from the cars to battle.
The fight, which lasted six rounds, was
fast and furious from the start. Neither
had much advantage until the fifth round,
when Murphy landed stiff one on Patter-
sons jaw, which made him weary. In the
sixth and last round Patterson did some
good work. but Murphy seemed fresher,
flooring Patterson once. He did not rise
until the ninth second, when Murphy
made rush and Patterson went down
again to avoid punishment. Patterson
had been bleeding freely from the nose,
and his costume was fairly saturated.
This. together with his falling to avoid
punishment, although apparently far from
bein. knocked out, caused the referee to
declare Murphy the winner. They fought
for purse of $3.50 and gate receipts.

BIG FIRE At 7AcONA.
Dyhouse and Engine House Burned Through
an Electric Wire-Loss
S25.OC0

TACOMA, WASH, March IA disas-
trous fire occurred this afternoon, result
ing in the destruction of the dryhouse and
engine-house of the st. Paul Mill, situated
directly across the Eleventh-street bridge
and east of the city. The cause was attrib-
utable to an electric light wire, and fierce
confagration was on before the firemen
could get it under control. This is the Sec
ond time in year this company has
suffered the loss OF its dryhouse, and the
dense smoke to-day led people who live
ON the hill to believe the whole city was
afre.
The Fire Department at the first alarm
quickly demonstrated the wisdom of the
construction of the Eleventh-street bridge,
which gives shortcut to the mill and
other large establishments on the tide
fats. but the fire had gained such headway
that it was an uphill fight. The dry
house was filled and the adjoining piles OF
lumber caught, together with the engine
house of the Commercial Electric Light
Company.
Colonel Griggs, one of the owners OF the
mill, estimates the loss at $25, ,0O0 only
partially insured. 1t will be rebuilt at
once.

Mr.. Van Arman reports revival OF in

Arizona and says that the gold output of
the Pacific Coast last year was $27, 900, 600.
He reports new menace to Pacific Slope
interests in the Japan manufacturers " ho,
he thinks, will demoralize American in
dustries in that section of the country
unless checked by strong protective
tariff
He says that the Pacific Coast States
and Territories will be solid for Mckinley
at the st. Louis convention and that the
Ohio man will be nominated on the Sec
ond ballot. The election of Mckinley
would benefit the West as well as the
entire country, so he believes because it
would insure protective tariff that would
restore confidence to capital and revive
national prosperity.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 1.-Since the
withdrawal of DIR. Hunter yesterday
the hotel lobbies have been crowded with
candidates for Senator. Every Republi-
can of any importance is spoken of as pos
sible Senatorial timber. There are a great

No one seems to know who will be the

QUEEN VICTORIA'S HOUSES.

Her Countless Acres of Forest and Farm
Land and Her Four Old Yachts.
The announcement that Queen Victoria
is to leave by will Osborne House to one
daughter, the lease of Abergeldie House to
another, and Balmoral, the royal residence
in the Highlands, to the Duke of Con-
naught, recalls the fact that the man who
would devour this particular widows
houses must make an uncommoEly full
meal. 1t was discovered a few years since
that the Queen owned 600 houses in vari-
Gus parts of England, not royal residences.
but rent-yielding property, and that about
5000 houses had been built by crown
lessees on building leaseholds held of the
Queen. She then had also rents from mar
kets and tolls from ferries. besides the
proceeds of mines and other works upon
her property or the crown property.
she had large estates in Yorkshire, Ok
fordshire and Berks; valuable lands in the
Isle OF Man and i'll Alderney, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales. Of the New Forest
there are 1000 acres of absolute and 63
acres OF contingent crown property. Her
Majesty enjoys income from the Forest
of Dean, from several other forests and
from rich properties in and about London.
Osborne, on the Isle of Wight, and Bal
moral, in the Highlands, are the private
property of the Queen and are maintained
out of her own income. But she has the
use of a few royal palaces besides, and
these are maintained by the nation at an
annual expenditure ranging from $500 to
$50, 600. The Queen is in the occupancy of
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the
White Lodge at Richmond Park and part
of st. James Palace. The remainder OF
the last-named palace is occupied by other
members of the regal family.
Other royal palaces maintained as such,
although not in the occupancy of the
Queen, are Kensington Palace, Hampton
Court, which according to a recent esti-
mate based on the statistics of eight or
ten years, costs the nation on the average
over 1000 year, Kew Palace, Penn
broke Lodge, the Thatched Cottage, and
Sheen Cottage, Richmond Park, Bushy
House in Bushy Park and Holyrood Pal
ace. The Queen when she visits the con-
tinent has one great house or another,
with whatever repairs and refurnishing
are necessary to fit it for a temporary
royal occupant, although for all this she
pays out of her own income. Bagshot
House, Gloucester House and Clarence
House are palatial dwellings occupied by
various members of the royal family.
The Queen has four rather old fashioned
yachts on which she makes her sea
journeys, although the oldest of them is
probably used seldom or never. The four
cost originally about 81, 375, 900: The new.
est is of 1890 tons displacement and cost
trifle over $500, 900. IL costs annually about
$65, ,000.-N. Y. Sun.

Kills His Parent and Then Com
mits Suicide.
LONG ISLAND CITY, L. L., March l.
Michael Kraemer, 25 years of age. shot
and killed his aged mother and then put a
bullet into his own brain this afternoon.
Death was instantaneous in both cases
The Kraemer family consisted of the
murdered woman, the suicide and a
younger brother named John. They had
been entertaining party of friends from
New York. Plenty of drink was supplied.
Late this afternoon the party became
hilarious and Michael made frequent trips
back and forth to nearby saloon. Pre-
vlous to making the final trip he had an
alteration with one of the guests from
New York, Andrew Ryper. The quarrel
had not been settled when Michael went
out for more wine.
On his return his mother followed him
into the kitchen. Everybody in the house
processes ignorance as to what transplred
there. They say they were alarmed by
hearing two pistol shots in rapid success
sion. On rushing into the kitchen they
found mother and son stretched on the
floor few Aet apart gasping for breath.
There was bullethole under Mrs. krae-
mer's left ear and one near her sons right
eye. In his hand he still held smoking
revolver. They were both dead before the
police arrived.

WORK FOR THE SENATE,
Discussion of the Dupont Case,
Involving Title to a Seat
in the Chamber.
Conflict Expected When the Arkansas
promise Measure Is Called
Up for Action.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-The
coming week will inaugurate the discus
sion on question of the highest privilege
in the Senate-a title to Q seat in the body.
Mitchell, chairman OF the Committee
on Privileges and Elections. gave notice
Friday that he would call the Dupont
case Monday, at o'clock. Mitchell
will make the opening speech and will be
followed during the week by Turpie Of
Indiana for the Democrats and by Pritch-
ard of North Carolina for the Republicans.
The chairman is of the opinion that the
debate on this subject will not last longer
than ten days, or at the outside not to eX-
ceed two weeks.
Tomorrow there is every probability of
the Senate locking horns over a matter
against which there appears to be very
determined opposition in the Senate. 1t
is the bill reported by the Senate Commit
tee on Public Lands to approve compro-
mise and settlement between the United
States and Arkansas. Berry sought to
call it up late Friday afternoon and make
it the unfinished business, but several
Senators objected, and upon his motion
being pressed to take it up the absence of
quorum, forced by the opponents of the
measure. was developed. Berry then gave
notice that ne would move to take the bill
up Immediately after the morning busi-
ness tomorrow. In antssonizing the bill
Friday it was characterized by Gear as "a
bill of g very questionable character, in
volving millions of dollars"
The agricultural bill will be brought up
tomorrow by Mr.. Cullom. who has it in
charge. Inasmuch as there has been no
amendments to the legislative features of
this bill as it came from the House, it will
probably be passed in one afternoon.
During the week it is not unlikely that
Mr.. Teller of Colorado may make his
promised speech on the tariff-silver ques-
ton, in which he will explain the stand
he has taken and reasons for bis recent op-
position to the tariff bill. Beyond this
there is no programme for the week.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-Eu-
gene V. Debs, President of the American
Railway Union, made an address here to.
night at the opera house, before more
than 1000 working people. The speaking
was under the auspices of the Trades
Council of this city which charged 10
cents admittance to defray expenses and
tickets were sold rapidly this afternoon
until Chief of Police T. c. Mcdonald
stopped the sale and ordered postpone
ment of the speaking, saying it was
against the law for lecture on Sunday
and especially when admission fees were
charged.
The word was passed around the town
and in short while the main streets OF
the city were crowded with workmen crit
icizing the action of the Chief of Police.
Great indignation was expressed and b
special meeting OF the Police Commits
sioners was hurrledly called. 1t twas, how
ever, subsequently decided to allow the
speaking tonight
Shortly after o'clock Debs arrived on
the Central Road. He was met at the
depot by between 400 and 500 people and
carried on the shoulders of strong brawny
men toward the Florence Hotel. He
spoke on "Unionism" at the opera house.
A greater demonstration over labor
leader was never before given a man in
the South.

Archbishop Ireland's Appeal in

Armenians.
Should Be Made to Know That This
Country Stands Ready to Help
the Oppressed.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March Arch bishop
Ireland made an impassioned address to
an audience which packed the Metropoli-
tan Opera-house from pit to gallery this
afternoon in protest against the atroci-
ties in Armenia. He said:
Let us give something of what we have
Let it go abroad before all the nations of
the world that, when the people of Arme-
MIA were hungry and naked and had lost
all their possessions, messengers from that
distant land, the United States, bore gifts
in the name of liberty, civilization and
Christianity. And let it be known to the
most remote countries of Asia and Africa
that wherever men suffer the sympathies
OF America will go. And in no better way
than in this disinterested charity can we
make it plain TO the entire world that
America is worthy of her fame as a coun-
try Of civilization, generosity and Chris
tianity."

ALBANY,S INUNDATION.
Cellars Flooded and Surface Fires Er-
finQuished.

Cellars Flooded and Surface Fires Er-
fingMished.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 1.-The food at
Albany this evening has attained greater
proportions than any in years excepting
Only that of 1883, when the Hudson was
swollen to height of seventeen feet above
the normal flow. Tonight the freshet is
sixteen feet and the water is rising.
The whole southern portion of the city
lying on the fiat land for distance of 200
yards back from the river front is inun-
dated, but there is no extensive damage
reported. Cellars of business-houses are
all flooded, but merchants had sufficient
warning from the Weather Bureau and lad
removed their goods.
The water came into the power-house OF
the Albany Railroad. on South Pearl
street, and an engine from the Fire De-
partment had to be brought into service
to pump out the cellars so that the fires
could be kept going in the boilers which
furnished the power for the electricians
and street lights of the entire oity. The
hotels were unable to warm their rooms
tonight, for the water had compelled the
extinguishment OF the fires in all their
boilers. The guests OF the Mansion House,
asecond-class hotel, located near the river,
had to be taken out in boats to other
places.
The traffic with villages on the east
shore is largely cut off, as the approach to
the bridge is under water.
At Bath-on-the-H e-Hudson the wall of the
East Albany water works was crushed by
the breaking of an ice gorge which had
formed just above the pumphouse. En-
gineer Ward had a narrow escape, having
stepped out to take q look at the torrent
when the catastrophe occurred.
Just about the time the accident at the
pumphouse occurred the local train leav-
ing Troy at 2 o'clock was due. The ice
was piled all over the tracks for distance
OF several hundred feet. In some places
the ice was five feet high. Fortunately
the train was signaled in time to prevent q
serious accident, it being brought to a
standstill 100 feet from the ice. The train
contained over 1U0 passengers.

HUDSON RIVER BOOMING,
Water Submerges the Docks
and Invades Easements
at Troy.
Millions of Feet of Lumber Washed
Away-Factory Engines Are
at a Standstill.

TROY, N. Y, March 1.-The water fin
the Hudson River reached the highest
point tonight attained since 1857. At 8
o'clock the mark of the memorable food
OF 1886 on the bridge here was lost sight
of and the water continues to rise. The
docks are submerged to the shed roofs.
All the cellars along the river front have
been flooded and much damage done. In
many of the large colIar-factories the en-
gine-rooms have been invaded and the
fires extinguished.
In the southern part of the city many
houses are submerged to the second story.
On the west side the damage is eyen
greater. Millions of feet of lumber piled
along the entrance of the Erie Canal have
been washed away. The electric light
station is flooded and the village of West
Troy is in darkness The water works en-
gines were also stopped, so the paradox is
presented of food yet famine of water.
