Kansas CITY, Mo-, April 10. Since
8 o'clock last night Kansas City ssoms
to have been at the mercy OF, band OF
incendiaries. @
Between 8 o'clock last night and 1
O'Clock this morning seven fires broke
out in the business centre of the city.
at least four, and probably all of them,
were OF incendiary origin. While the
majority OF the blazes were extinguished
in their incipiency two of them resulted
in heavy damages.
The big five. story Scarritt Block, on
Walnut street near Ninth, was DESTROYED,
entailing a loss of $50, 600, and from
this structure the flames spread to an
adjoining structure, on Main street.
also owned by the Scarritt estate and
occupied by the Campbell Il Eaton
Crockery Co. The building on Main
street was damaged to the extent of
SO, 600, and the crockery stock suffered
an equal damage. Only by very mar
row margin were other adjoining build
ings saved from destruction.
1t was while this dangerous fire was
raging that the torch was applied in
other parts of the business District. At
Twelfth and Walnut streets fire was
started in pile of dry goods boxes In
an alley. At Twelfth street and Grand
avenue the torch was applied to AK
cellsior thrust in the hallway Of lodg-
ing, house. At Fifth street and Della
warer avenue fire was started, in the
rear OF the Armour Building. Another
fire was started near loose Brothers.
cracker mandatory, at Second and
Main streets, and still another at Hills
brewery, on the East Bottoms. In
several of these fires coal oil was freely
used by the ingendiaries At o'clock
this morning, when the forces of the
Fire Department were scattered and
possibly somewhat demoralized, fir,
was discovered in q. W. Lovejoy's
planing mill. at Fourteenth and Main
streets. The fire had gained such head
way that the building was soon en-
yeloped in flames and within short
time the planning mill, with all its valp-
able machinery and big stock of
The loss is $40, GOO. That this fire and
the fire in the Carroll Block were of
incendiary origin there ia no direct
proof, but all the indications are that
firebugs alone are responsible.
Nor are the fires of last night the
first of the kind recently. About two
weeks ago three fires we're started
within two days at Twelfth and
Walnut streets, but all were extin-
guished without serious LOSSES What
could be the object of the iDcepdiaries
is mere speculation, but among the
excited business men who gathered
about the streets in small groups at 2
O'Clock this morning, seriously dis
cussing the situation. the opinion was
frequently expressed that the gambler
element, which has so long held full
sway in Kansas Uity and which ia now
forced to quit its operations, owing to
a complete overhauling of police adj
ministration, is at the bottom of tho
inceniiaries.

DELAYED AFlLlBUSTERlNG EXPEDITION.
Alleged Effect OF the Seizure of the Lau-
rads by the Government.

Alleged Effect OF the Seizure of the Lau-
rads by the Government.
A New York dispatch in the Phila-
delphia Record says: The seizure of
the steamship Laurada at Wilmington.
DEL, by the government, has delayed
the departure of a fiIibustering ex.
petition for Cuba, already organized
to be taken from this city by Gen.
Julio Sanguilly, who recently arrived
here from Jacksonville. Considerable
war material has also been purchased
by the Cuban Junta TO be shipped
with the expedition. Gen. Sanguilly
has band of about $50 men. which he
calls ''the Cuban Minutemen.
According to Cubaus in Philadelphia
Major Julio Sandoyal. who has arrived
in this country, has been sent here to
secure information under which Gen.
Palma at New York and Gen. Quesada
at Washington. the heads OF the Cuban
Junta in America, may be arrested. 1t
is claimed that Major Sandoyal, holds
in his possession documents that we're
secured on board of the steamship
Laurada on one OF hor trips to Cuba,
that show in full the part Gems. Palma
and Quesada have played at times in
the revolution. Meanwhile, according
to the Philadelphia Inquirer, efforts
are being made to find Capt. Hughes,
who commanded the Laurada on most
of her famous expeditions. If he is
arrested and the issue IL made in court
as 10 the liability of body like the
Cuban Junta for alleged violation Of
tho neutrality laws, there will be
question OF jurisdiction that will not
only involve the interstate commerce
laws. but also the questions of
belligerency and the customs comfy
of nations.

popularity of the article is boundless, and

The Mystic Weather Nan.

High above his fellow nan, i'm
pcrvious to ti,c tritics that worry
the ordinary Iaborer, with his
mind fixed on the morrow, serene
and patient, sits the only relic o1
the sibyline era, the forc%stcr of
the weather.
If one were to ask, who is the
least understood of these latter day
officials! We should answer, the
weather man. His employment
seems to excite the joke. The
journals, the weclllies, the month
lies, profane books, religious books,
science and art, the studio and the
kitchen, the high and the low, the
good and the bad, the philosopher
and the merry andrew, the scholar
and the fat w;tted Ounce, all have
their pinch OF fun at his expense.
He is Il guesser, charlatan, {:
prophet without honor, time
wasting oracle, Il quackish statis-
tician and Il what they say.
The poor, fighting, kicking, buy
ing and selling world, to when he
tries to be Of some service, sticks
him into the center Of Il crtoon,
pinks him with sharp familiarity,
and sometimes wonders whether
lis head or his heels incIose his
brains. Truly, there is ''none so
poor to do him reverence"
Now all this is superficial. It is
what the people sse; but not every
thing is what it seems. There are
men and women Who know the
value of the weather man. Thes
know even better the absolute un-
tamableness and vaerancy of that
intangible, many-sided element,
sometimes friend, sometimes !,
| foe, known as the weather. Yo,
can not guide the weather, charm
it, draw it on, ciude it. stiflc it.

The weather man, with whom 4
sort of scientific provision is pro

sees the visitor usually before you

ther: or his smile may change to

WHEN property is sold to salts
fy mortgages on it, the first mort
gage holder usually swipes in the
whole proceeds of the sale, and the
holder Of the sccond mortgage, if
there is second, gets nothing.
The governments claim against til"
Union Pacific Railroad is a second
mortgage and amounts to $4,000,
900. The Reorganization syndicate
which, proposes to bid in the road
when it comes to sale will satisfy
the first mortgage and guarantees,
the payment of $50, 900, 900 of the
governments claim. The offer of
the syndicate does not bind the
government to an acceptance OF
this price. The sale will be open to
all who can comply with the terms
of salo and care to bid. The syn
dicatc has only fixed $50, 900, 900
as It's bid over and above the first
mortgage. Until lately no one ever
thought tho government would
realize anything like tlsst amount
from its claim upon the road; 81
fact there have been numerous pre-
dictions that the whole sum would
eventually bc lost. Anyone who
has tried to recover Epon a second
mortgage must admit that the out
look for the government, through
tho syndicatc's offer, is not so bad.
The alue and cry now being RAISED
by tie Democratic press about :;
''gigantic robbery which they arc
trying to connect with the syndi
catc's proposition is only intended
to;havc its influence at the forth
coming fall elections. If these
papers arc so sure that a job is i'll
tended, they should End someone
who would bid against the rcorgan-
nation syndicate.

patcrn0liSm.

The Democratic party used to
pretend that it was opposed TO
patcrnalism by the government
from principal, and that even It's
opposition to a protective tariff
was based upon sthe ground that
thc government :ilad no right to
foster special interests by legisls
tion. However, since the Deme-
Gratis and Populisas have gotten to-
gcther and voted for the same can
didatcs, upon Il platform whick
advocates patcrnalism before
everything else, both parties thus
substantially declare that the gov
ernment can and should take care
of.everything and everybody COW
cred by the United States flag, that
bread-based principle upon which
tho Democrats used to stand has
beeH swept from under.
IGc Democrats in seeking and
maintaining fusion with the Popu-
lists have come to staad upon Pop
ulistie ground from which they
dare not retreat. Populism means
that the government of the United
States shall make money of paper
in unlinsted quantities and sustain
its legal tender qualities and pur-
chasing power; that the govern
nlcnt shalt own all the railroads,
telegraph lines and what not, and
take Il fathcrly care Of all the em-
ploycs thereof.
