THE Loss BY A FIRE AT NATRONIA,
PENNSYLVANIA.
Buildings Destroyed Covered Nearly
-Four Acres of Ground-Insurance
May Probably Cover the Loss.

PITTSBURG. Pa, March GA dis
astrous fire tonight in. the smelling de-
partment of the copper works of the
Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing COM
pany at Natronia caused a loss esti-
mated at 100000. The building de
stroyed covered nearly four acres of
ground. The output of the plant was
about 100000 ounces of silver and 3,000.-
900 pounds of copper month. The fire
started by blowing out OF a furnace
the hot maligning with some waste
near the mouth. The flames spread
rapidly, and in a short time the fur
naces and buildings were a mass of
flames. All of the costly machines and
mechanical appliances were destroyed
sixteen furnaces and fifty tanks are
ruined. The buildings are Quilted and
will have to be rebuilt. number of
loaded freight cars were consumed.
The insurance on the plant could not
be learned tonight, but it is believed it
will cover the loss. The insurance was
mostly placed in Philadelphia COM
panies. The Pennsylvania Salt Manu-
featuring company is controlled by
eastern capitalists and is one of the
most substantial corporations in PENN
sylvania- The main Office is in Phila-
delphia.

NEW YORK, March 21.-William Q.
Judge of the Theosophical society died
in this city today. He has been, since
the death of Nine. Blavatsky, the most
prominent Theosophist in this country.
He had been ailing more than two
years and this morning he succum bed
to the affection of the lungs, which
change of climate had failed to cure.
During his twenty years work in
spreading the gospel of the Theos-
ophists and in interpreting the will of
the Mahatmas, Mr.. Judge has become
a well-known figure in three countries,
and his work under Nine. Blavatsky
in Asia, Europe and America has at
tracted the attention eli millions of
people. His labors in the interest of
the mysterious creed. however, had
broken him down. and two years ago he
was forced to seek rest Mr.. Judge was
one of the original members of the first
Theosophist society in America. 1t
was founded in this city September Z.
1875 with forty followers. Since then
the creed has spread extensively The
object of the society was stated to be
to obtain knowledge of the nature and
attributes of the supreme power and
of the higher spirits by the laid of
physical processes.
The American headquarters are in
Awrar hall, and the services over the
body of Mr.. Judge will be held there
at noon Monday. The present. score
tary of the society. Mr.. Claud Falls,
will probably act as the society's chief
until the annual convention, which
will be held in Chicago next month

and that if the proposed measure be-
comes "a law, it will practically estab-
lish a censorship of the press.
Lord Glenesk proprietor of the Morn
ing Post, contended that the tendency
of the press was quite against the pub
LEGATION of such details, and asserted
that he had read more offensive things
in recent novels than had ever been
found in the newspapers.
Although the bill had been read for
the second time, in the house of lords,
it is doubtful if 1t will be adopted by
the house of commons.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

Senate Committee Makes Report.
WASHINGTON. March 21.-The SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs today
united on letter to the president, rec
ommending that a regiment of troops
be stationed permanently in Indian
Territory for the purpose of preserving
order there. The letter was drawn by
Senator Morgan and was signed by all
the members of the committee pres
ent. L grew out of a general discus
sion in the committee of the condition
of affairs in the territory which was
incident to an effort on the part of the
committee to agree upon plan for the
government of the territory. A deci-
sion was reached to recommend that
an amendment be added to the Indian
appropria ton bill authorizing the
Dawes commission to continue its la
bors by numbering the Indians and di-
viding the lands of the territory among
them. 1t is understood that this pro-
ceeding, if undertaken, will not be
agreeable to the Indians and it is fear
ed that there may be an aggravation
of the present bad condition of affairs
which would make it desirable to have
responsible authority near enough to
be called upon in case of necessity. The
committee say, however, that the rec
ommendation for troops is nothing new
and has been repeated from time to
time by representatives of the govern
ment who had visited the territory.
The amendment to the appropriation
bill which the committee will recon-
mend will provide that the commission
shall make a roll call of the five civil
lied tribes and decide who are citizens
and who are not, and their decision
shall be final in this respect. This
done. they are to suggest a plan for
the division of the lands. which is to
be reported to congress.

COLUMBUS, O., March 2I-The
mystery o. Pearl Bryan's head is still
unsolved. The head supposed to be
that of Pearl Bryan which had been
turned over tic g. V. Wing to be pre-
pared and articulated was placed in
the possession of Coroner Herbst to-
night The medical student who took
the head to Wing proves to be Wen
dell Cole. of this city, who has been
attending the Ohio Medical university.
Cole could not be found early this
evening, but a Mr.. il mes, of the uni
versity, stated the head was that of a
subject which had been received some
time ago, that the students, in prepar-
ing it for dissection had spoiled it by
injecting too much of the fluid used,
that Cole wanted a skull and he pre-
sumed the head had been cut off for
that purpose. The head was buried
for several months in an ash barrel.
DR.. Kahn. who examined the head.
stated it was that of woman about 81
years of age The hair was blonde,
sprinkled with gray. The only coin
cidence was that the head contained
% teeth, the same number said to have
been in the head of Pearl Bryan.
The student, Cole, was found later and
corroborated the statement of DR.. Means.

facturers and the Silver Men.
PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-In
order to correct what they allege to
be false impression growing out of
the recent secret conference in Wash
ington between silver men and Phila-
delphia manufacturers, three promi-
nent members of the Manufacturers
club today addressed a letter to Robert
Dornan its president, requesting him
to call a, meeting of the club, for the
purpose of informing the country of
the real situation of the silver cues
ton, in the organization. The letter
is as follows:
'Today's papers show that the capi-
tai which the friends of free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver are trying to
make out Of the Washington visit of
Philadelphia manufacturers rests upon
an unsound and frail a foundation as
the whole structure they are trying to
erect
AN erroneous impression has GER
tainly been spreading over the coun-
try that our Philadelphia manufac-
turers are willing to conciliate the sill
yer senators by approving the free
silver coinage in exchange for addi-
tional protection. and has given new
life to the agitation for free silver.
This impression should be reviewed in
the most public and emphatic man
ner, and we request you to call a meet
ing of the Manufacturers club to take
action and express their opinion of free
silver coinage. We desire to know
the position OF the club on this ques-
ton. Yours respectfully,
JOHN CONVERSE,
RUDOLPH BLANKENBURG
JOSEPH P. TRUITT."

POCATELLO, Ida, March 21.-Great
interest was manifested on the third
day of the trial of Sid Larkins al
Blackfoot for shooting Josie Hill, his
mistress, at Idaho Falls on Christmas
day.
Difficulty was experienced in secur-
ing jury, and all of Thursday was
consumed in this manner.
The prosecution concluded their
work last night.
All the evidence went to show that
the shooting was most deliberate, and
that the woman was shot down in cold
blood.
The defense pleaded temporary in
sanity as a motive for the crime, and
Larkins' aged father testified that his
sons mother had died in an insane
asylum.
The defendants attorneys, ]. IL.
Hawley and J. Ed. Smith, made an
eloquent plea for their client. The case
went to the jury at $50 p. m, and
after celebrating three hours returned
a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. Larkins will receive his sentence
ueNt week

AFRICAN CREDITS.
Debate Resumed in the Chamber of
Deputies.

Debate Resumed in the Chamber of
Deputies.
ROME, March 21.-The chamber of
deputies today resumed debate upon
the subject of the African credits. A
sharp personal alteration took place
between Deputies Mocennie and Barr
ilai relative to the recall OF General
Baratieri. So bitter was the discus
sion between the two members that a
duel is likely to result.
After various amendments had been
proposed, including the matter of i'm
parchment of the Crispi cabinet, the
subject of the abandonment of Eryth-
rea and the proposition condemning
peace negotiations from Abyssinia, Pre-
mier Rudini declared that Italy's re-
cent friendly arrangements with Great
Britain completed the system of the
country's alliance with foreign nations.
He said it was not correct to assert
that peace had already been concluded
with Abyssinia, though it was true that
an alliance was pending. He conclud-
ed by declaring he was opposed to the
policy of colonial expansion in Africa.
The credits bill was then adopted by a.
secret ballot, the vote standing 214
yeas to 81 nays Then the chamber
adjourned until April %.

the present members of the reichstag
were in attendance at the reichstag
jubilee banquet tonight. Over one
hundred of the former members of
the house of representatives of the
German empire were also present, in
Guiding perhaps forty of the original
members. Editors of German news
papers were not invited, and conse-
quently the press of Berlin will pay
but very little attention to what trans
pired at the dinner Baron Won Buol
Borenberg, president of the reichstag,
in responding to the toast 1.-THE En-
peror. recalled the enthusiasm which
marked the celebra ton of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the foundation of
the empire. He said:
'Today's festival forms a worthy
conclusion to the demonstrations of
last month. We must maintain our
position and increase our defenses. We
have already secured a defense such
as is only afforded a people who are
steeled for an intellectual conflict and
who keep in view their rights and
privileges and who unite with this love
for the ruling house"
The reference to the emperor's plan
for increased defenses, was heartily
cheered
Continuing, the president of the
reichstag. said:
In the name of such a people. 1
thank him who is the head of all of our
princes. We all thank him for pre-
serving our national unity and indepen-
dence This is now his most sacred
task in time of peace, as it was for
merly duty in time of war Let us
now drink in honor of the powerful
and fortunate German people"

THE RING.
CHoYNSkI AND MCCOY STOPPED BY
THE POLICE.
Both Express Their Regrets to the
Audience That They Were Not
Permitted to Peel Each other in
the Latest and Most Approved
Style.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Thirty-five
hundred people gathered at the Grand
Central Palace tonight to see what was
expected to be a f1rst-class boxing
show, and everyone was disguised and
disappointed. Kid Mccoy and Joe
Choynski were to have boxed six
rounds at catch weights, and four
other bouts, three of six rounds and
one of four were scheduled for the
evenings entertainment
Captain Delaney, who had charge of
I the police arrangements, interfered
with the management. and his efforts
in that direction were loudly Kissed
| by the spectators, who were chagrined
at the police captain for spelling what
would otherwise have proved a first
class show.
Choynski and Mccoy. when they ap-
peared in the ring, were ready to box
on their merits, and were much disap-
pointed at the spectators when An
nouncer Dunn stated that the police
authorities would not allow the box
ers to fight on their merits.
Referee Jimmy Carroll announced
that he would render no decision on ac-
count of the stand taken by the police
The men boxed for one-minute rounds
amid derisive cheers, groanS and cat
calls, and as soon as the first round
was over Choynski stepped to the mid
die OF the ring and said:
Gentlemen, it is not the fault of
either Mccoy or myself that this state
of affairs exists. l have always done
my fighting in the ring, and / came
on here from Chicago to meet Mccoy
in six rounds, and our meeting was to
be on its merits. While Mccoy has
kindly feelings towards me, l can as
sure you that when l enter the ring all
friendship ceases. / am sorry the DO
lice have interfered. but we will do the
best we can"
After the exhibition had been stopped
at the end of the fourth round, Mccoy
said substantially the same as Choyn-
ski did, and it is quite possible; that
the men may be matched to meet at
some of the well known clubs in the
near future.
The preliminary bouts, four in num-
Der. were also cut short by the police.
Solly Smith of Los Angeles. got the
decision over Jerry Barnett of this
city after forty seconds of fighting in
the fifth round OF the opening bout
Barnett was SO far gone that the police
captain ordered the referee to stop the
fight and Smith was declared winner.
Maurice Hagerstrom, THE Young
Swede" of Providence, bested Charley
Damon of Jercey, in four round bout
at catch weights.
Paddy Purtell of Kansas City. proved
himself too good for Jim Butler of
Brooklyn, ard after the latter was
fioored with a right handler on the head
the referee stopped the bout and award
ed the fight to the western man. The
time of the third round was as seconds
Jimmy Handler of Newark, had such
a decided advantage over Jack Muir
ply. of Long Island City, that the bout
was stopped early in the second round
by Captain Delaney. and the referee
refused to give decision.
