first broke through the partition wall, and
she states that the fire originated in the
Chicago Restaurant, adjoining the hotel.
But the fire burst out simultaneously from
so many places as to still leave the i'm
preston that arson was committed. Coal
oil fumes were detected about the school
house to-day, and some women created a
sensation this afternoon by telling of see
ing two men trying to set fire to a resi-
dence near the reservoir. One unknown
man was killed yesterday, one shot and a

boxcars, in lieu of any better place to con-
fine criminals.
The burned district of yesterday covered
seventeen blocks. The Masonic Temple
building was but partially destroyed, and
there the mass-meeting OF citizens was
held to-day to consider the grave situa-
ton. Committees were named to take
charge OF relief work and headquarters
were opened at the Midland Terminal

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, April 3d.
1t is rumored that President Kruger has
received personal cablegram from Presi-
dent Cleveland regarding j ohm Hays Ham
mond, one of the leaders of the reform
com mmittee, who was sentenced to death
for high treason.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30.-Sec-
retary Olney, on the 2Sth inst, telegraphed
the Secretary of State for the South Afri-
can Republic that it was assumed that the
death sentence of Hammond and other
American citizens was imposed with the
understanding that the sentence would be
commuted, and that he would like assur-
ance on that point. The answer came this
morning. from the Transyaal Secretary as
follows:
There was no talk of an understanding G
between the Judge and the Government
before the sentence OF death was pro-
nounced, but before the reception of your
telegram the Executive Council had re-
solved to let mercy take the place of JUS
tice and not TO enforce the death penalty"
Secretary Olney later in the day re-
ceived a second cablegram. which ex-
planned why Vice Consul Knights mes
sage hau not stated the nature or severity
of the sentence of Hammond. The second
cablegram was from Mr.. Chaplin, the agent
at Pretoria of Grace & Co. of New York.
He said that the substitute sentence OF
Hammond and the four others CONDEMNED
to death had not been decided upon. AS
for those who were sentenced to two years
imprisonment, three years imprisonment
and $4,000 fine the Executive Council had
taken no action.
The petition signed by the Senators and
Representatives asking clemency for Ham-
mond will be cabled Immediately.

Peculiar Addiction Suffered by Eng
lish Woman Involves q Problem.
A very curious incident of those sud-
den and total losses of memory which
raise such perplexing and appalling
problems as to the nature Of the per;
sonahty of man is reported this weeE
from Brighton. While sitting ON the
sea front woman felt something break
In her head. She thereupon became un-
able to tell her name, address. or any
thing connected with her past life. She
is at present in the Brighton work
house. her continual cry being, "Oh,
shall l get my memory again." Her
clothing does not contain a single mark
Or initial whereby she may be identi-
ded. She is respectfully dressed wo-
man, apparently fairly well-to-do. The
following is her description: Age, S.;
dressed neatly in black; appears to be
nurse or companion; well educated;
wears a wedding ring. We hold, and it
seems to US We are bound to hold, that
the notion Of a life beyond the grave
which will not be endowed with mem

hilation. But, if the state of this poor
woman is permanent, then she has al
ready suffered sort Of humiliation,
though, of course, death may revive her
