POSSIBLY her sister. Mrs. Van de Nanter
escaped with only the clothes on her back.

Handsomely fitted residence were FEW

house itself cost Ss1a1 Ave years ago, but
II has been kept up in splendid shape and
large sums of money have been spent In
the interior fittings Mrs Van de VAN
ter's china and sslverware was also ex-
renslve and OF the best quality that could
be secured.
Liberty Hail was a very handsome and
comrnodious house 1t loomed up in the
midst of fertile acres like some OF the In
wing homesteads seen in Massachusetts,.
and In fact throughout New England 1t
was built after the sherin's own ideas.
and he did NOT spare expense TO make
everything comfortable and snip shape
The pariors and sitting rooms were large
and looked out upon green feds ard ricn
lawns. The front OF the house had q
broad verSnda. and there 5 hardly
wheaiman IN Seattle who has not sat there
and enjoyed the hospitality OF Sheriff ana
Mrs Van de vanter
From top 10 bottom the house was fine
ly furnished. and the taste displayed IN
the arrangements of decorations was evi-
dent at every hand. There were enough
bed chambers in the house to give ac-
ccmmodations TO small army. and on the
top floor. or perhaps more properly IN
the tower. was billiard hall. ntted COM
pete The house was supplied with
complete water system. furnace and cleo
trio bells.
Yesterday morning about o'clock Sher-
if Van de vanter started TO come 10 the
city. On account of White river being very
high. he could not cross. and so stopped
and helped the men who were working on
the bank. He returned home between II
and l O'Clock. and found his beautiful
home in ashes. and his wife PROSTATE.
The origin of the fire is not definitely
known but IT is supposed that 1t caught
from the furnace. which is under the front
part of the house.
The fire must have gained a great
start. for when Mrs. Van de Vanter dis
covered it. she being in the back part OF
the house. she was compelled TO fec WITH
out delay. One report received by the
Pcst-Intellisencsr from Kent stated that
the fire pulled up" and then the entire
house seemed to be a mass of roaring
flames. The only things saved were a
few minor articles. which were thrown out
of the dining room window by some brave
person. who came 10 the scene in hopes Of
doing good

The Tobacco War.

st. Louis, March A morning pa
per says: Antitrust tobacco manufac-
turers have fired the first gun and be-
gun the expected war which has been
predicted for some time between the
tobacco manufacturers outside of the
trust and the American Tobacco COM
pany. Last Saturday the Liggett &
Meyers Tobacco company sent out cir
culars to all dealers in the United
States who handle their brand, notify
ing them that a cut of three cents
pound would be made on this brand
of tobacco. Three hours after this cir
cular was prepared the Drummond
Tobacco company heard of it and sent
out a similar circular Both these firms
are of ST. Louis, and it is understood
the Lorillards and other eastern firms
will follow suit.
1t is probable that'this cut is the be-
ginning of a war greater than any that
has taken place in this country be-
tween capitalists. On one side is
trust with capital of 40,000,0O0 and
on the other half a dozen individual
manufacturers whose combined cap
ital would equal $50,000,000 bound to-
gether by a single tea desire to
down the trust and protect their inter-
ests.

contention Is That tho House Resolutions
Ara Not ~ Strong as the Sena'e's,
Washington, March 4.-The senate
committee on foreign relations discus
sed the house Cuban resolutions this
morning for an hour and was unable
to agree to the resolutions as passed by
the house.
There was a division of sentiment in
the committee, the majority holding
that the house resolutions We're not
as strong as the senate resolutions, and
that the language was In some respects
ambiguous,
This was charged especially with ref
erence to the second clause of the house
resolutions, wherein 1t is stated that
the only permanent solution Of the
contest, equally in the interests of
spain, of the people of Cuba, and
other nations. would be in the estab-
iishment of a government by the choice
of the people of Cuba"
1t was maintained during the argu-
ment in committee that under such a
resolution this government would be
committed to settlement of the trouble
by Cuba on the basis OF. an agreement
of any sort with Spain that permitted
Spain to still retain her control and
domination of the island. The actual
Independence of the island was insisted
upon as an essential feature of any res
olution that may meet the final concur
renee of the two houses.
When the senate convened, Mr.. Sher-
man, chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, reported back the sem
ate Cuban resolutions with those adopt
ed by the house as q substitute and
moved that the house substitute be nom
concurred in, and that conference be
asked with the house.
The motion was agreed to, and Sena-
tors Sherman, Morgan, DEM, of Alaba
ma and Lodge, rep, of Massachusetts,
were appointed conferees on the part
of the senate.
It was said that there would be no
trouble in the committee of confer
ence coming to a satisfactory conclu
sion on the text of the resolution.

The Hogan Drug Iompany's Loss is Nearly
$1,000.
Box 124 was struck yesterday after
noon at about 2:20 o'clock, The winds
were raging at the time furiously and
alarm was felt that the fire might prove
very serious. The fire was in the Ho-
gan Drug company's store on Meadow
street, and did about $1,000 damage. Mr..
Hogan had placed some carbolic acid
on a gas stove in the rear of the pre-
scription counter and while his back
was turned the fluid overtiowed and ex-
ploded, flying in all directions.
Some of the acid struck Mr.. Hogan
on the forehead, burning him slightly.
he blaze rapidly spread, and in a
short time had ruined large stock of
drugs and medicines in the rear room,
and badly smoked the entire store. The
chemical engine was used by the de-
partment, and the blaze was quickly
extinguished
