CONCEALED A BIG THEFT.
Mr.. Fleischmann Said to Have Had
Defaulting Cashier Elected
to the Senate.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. pa strange
story is made public today Of the loss
of 100000 of special fund deposited
by President Charles Fleischmann of
the Market National bank Of this city
in the vault in care of Cashier S. w.
Ramp, to be kept as a special reserve
during the panicky summer of 1898 and
only to be used in case of absolute neces-
sity by the bank during Mr.. Eleisch-
mann's absence on his summer VACATION.
The story goes that not long afterwards
Ramp went to Fleischmann's attorneys
and made the astounding confession that
he had spent the entire sum IN gam
bling in stocks racing, etc. Fleischmann,
to save the credit of the bank, kept the
story quiet and arranged to have Ramp
elected to the state Senate as an eN-
cllse for seyering his connection with
the bank. What arrangements, if any,
to pay the money is not known, but
Fleischmann says Ramp does not owe
him a dollar.

Havana, JAN 24.-For some time past
reports have been in circulation here con-
corning the physical condition of Gen.
Maxine Gomez, commander-in-chief Of
the insurgent forces. One story has as
serted that he was suffering from
wounds and that he was seriously i'll
with fever. 1t appears from information
derived from trustworthy sources that
neither of these reports are correct. but
it is positively asserted that the insur-
gent chief is a very sick man. 1t is
stated upon the authority cited that the
doctors in attendance upon Gen. Gomez
recently held a consultation and dag
nosed his case as being advanced stage
of consumption complicated with fever.
1t is further stated that the physicians
have come to the conclusion that Gomez
can only live about two months longer.
These statements have caused consider
able alarm among the insurgents and
their friends, as, even though his condi-
ton may be exaggerated in some degree,
it is believed the main facts are correct
ly stated.

WERE In FEAR OF FIRE.
Women Try to Leap from the Fifth
Story Window of a Build

Chicago ILL.,, Jan. 24.-Fire which
broke out in the old Stock Exchange
building a the northeast corner of Dear
born and Monroe streets today caused
a panic among the occupants. The
building is a six-story structure and the
location is one of the most crowded
street corners in the city.
The people on the fifth floor, where
the fla mes were first discovered, found
escape by way of the staircases barred
by smoke and resorted to the fire es-
capes. One woman, completely I'M
nerved. appeared at IL window on the
Monroe street side and endeavOred to
leap to the street. She was seized by a
man. who held her until the tiremen
raised ladder and rescued her. The
scenes attending the efforts of the people
in the building to escape were witnessed
by a thrOng of thousands which quickly
gathered in the neighboring thorough
fares.
All the occupants were finally rescued
by the firemen. The loss on the uild
ing was comparatively trifing.
j. 5. Robinson, who has an office in
the building. was quite seriously burned
in the face and on the hands while max
ing his way out. III. Barton Lindley,
an employee of the Chicago Tribune,
was loudly cheered by the crowd when
he emerged from the smoke safely car

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Senators Say it is the Greatest Diplomatic
Event in Half Century.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-The As
ISOLATED press dispatch giving the details
of the treaty reported to have been per-
fected between Russia and Turkey was
circulat ted on the floor of the Senate to-
day and was read with expressions Of
general interest especially by the mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. Senator Davis expressed the SEN
timents Of a majority of the committee
when he said: IF true, this is the most
diplomatic event which has occurred in
the past fifty years. 1t means that Rus
STA can move armies across the Turkish
border. Such treaty would represent
immediate settlement of the Armenian
question, and if France has also entered
into the alliance, as appears probable,
the result would be that the fleet of
those two countries would virtually con-
troll the Mediterranean, and that means
more than anyone can now foresee. It
also means that England will have some
thing to do besides bullying Uncle Sam"
Senators Morgan, Lodge and Cullom
read the report with avidity and all re-
marked upon the vast Importance of the
news if it proves to be true.

Russia's vassal and Russia is entitled to
dispatch troops to any part of the Sui
tan's dominons whenever there is the
slightest breach or disorder and when
there is not.
'We presume the arrangement will
give the keenest satisfaction to the An
glo-American section of our people.
With them lies the chief blame for the
complete alienation of Turkey, though it
must be owned that it has been sedu
lousy fostered by a long term of weak
policy at Constantinople."
Officials of the foreign Office, when
questioned on the subject this after
noon, said they had no information re-
garding the statement telegraphed to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Constantinople
stating an offensive and defensive alli-
ance between Russia and Turkey had
been formed by a treaty recently signed
there and ratified at st. Petersburg.

London, Jan. 23-A dispatch to the

and defensive alliance has been conclud-

close the Dradanelles to warships of all
nations. The Pail Mall Gazette's cor

IRON IN FOOD.

Spinach Contains More of 1t than Eggs

Prof. Bunge, in the course Of paper
on iron as a medicine, read before the
German Congress Of Internal Medicine,
has been ventilating some ideas which
are as much matter Of general science
land therefore extremely importantly as
they are details connected with the ply
sician's domain. He is strong on the
point that iron should reach our blood
through the medium of our food, rather
than through the druggists specialties.
Iron, as everybody knows, is food ele-
ment absolutely essential for the proper
constitution of the body. 1t is as rigid
ly demanded by the plant as by the ami
NAL; and it is from plants that Prof.
Bunge shows we should chiefly receive
our iron supply. Spinach, he tells us,
is richer in iron than yolk of eggs, while
the yolk contains more than beef. Then
succeed apples, lentils, strawberries,
white beans, peas, potatoes and wheat,
these substances being given in the
order in which they stand as regards

Cows milk is poor in iron, but, as
balancing this delicacy in the food of

much iron was found as occurs in these
