oner for the Le RoI Ming.

Rossland, B. C., Jan. 28.-Thcre is
a revival of the story that the LIE Roi
mine is to be sold. An English yndi-
cate has offered s., $50, 600 for the mine
on the basis Of 1910 a share. n. Pey-
ton, who is the heaviest stockholder,
saws that unless an exceedingly hatter-

nroval from other stockholders

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.--A tiny spiral
Of smoke curled out of tile cellar win
dow of big building OF Market street
at $3.50 O'Clock this morning. a few
hours later one Of the most valuable
blocks in the city had been consumed
in raging flame 1t was the block
bounded by Market, Thirteenth, Fill
bert and Juniper streets, in the very
heart of the city. A few steps to the
right looms the massive city hail;
around the corner is the Pennsylvania
terminal, and directly across the way
John Wanamaker' great store stretches
from street to street. So fierce was the
flames and strong the wind, which aid
ed their work, that even this building,
distant the width Of Market street,
was saved almost by miracle from total
destruction, and Mr.. Wanamaker to-
night places his loss at 500, 900. The
total loss Is variously estimated at
from 81 900, 900 to 50, 800 600, but in
the chaos and confusion now existing,
it is all but impossible to secure aecu-
rate figures. The losses are very gem
orally covered by insurance.

DOORS WE'RE CLOSED.
The Open Session the Senate Was
Very Brief.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The open ses-
sion of the senate was comparatively
brief today, as more than half the day
was spent behind closed doors. During
the open session, the bill for an inter-
national monetary conference was de-
bated, Chandler speaking in favor of it,
and Stewart against. Chandler's speech
was carefully prepared, and was in the
nature of statement of the attitude OF
theSRepublcan side of the chamber on
the bill. Stewart, although criticising
the commission as futile, stated that he
would not oppose the measure. 1t is
expected a vote will be reached Mon
day although Pettigrew announced a
speech which may lead to further delay.
The Nicaragua canal and the bank
ruptey bills We're before the senate for
brief time, but no progress was made
on either Early in the day, a lively
debate occurred over Aliens resolution
questioning the president Is right to fore
close against the Pacific railroads. The
resolution went over for speech by
Thurston Monday.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-The house
passed the indian appropriation bill to-

the agricultural appropriation bill,
but all interest in these measures was
overshadowed by two very remarkable
speeehes-one by Grosvenor, attacking
Ex-Governor Altgeld, OF Illinois, and the
other by DeArmond, heaping ridicule
upon Secretary Morton, for the recent
issue of a pamphlet, entitled, 'The
Farmers Interest in Finance"

now crossing the Coldesmosses, nearly
5000 feet high, marching from Agile

heard of for five days. Inasmuch as

Full Confession.

Full Confession.
Independence, Or, Jan. 2s.--An at
tempt at suicide and wholesale poison
ing occurred on the Ben Mason ranch,
a few miles south Of town, last Sunday
morning.
w. w. White, a county charge, is
stopping at Mrs. Mason's. He is old
and feeble, and in a fit Of dependency,
made an attempt to take his own life
by swallowing a dose of strychnine
The Mason family are early rises, and
about o'clock Sunday morning they
heard strange noises coming from the
old mans room. An investigation
showed tnat White was in great agony,
and every indication pointed to case
of poisoning. A physician was called
and relief administered. AS soon as
White could make himself ineligible
he confessed to taking poison for the
purpose of suicide, and also to having
attempted to poison the whole family
by putting strychnine into the we'll and
the water pail. He further said that
he had put poison in the water trough
for the purpose of poisoning the stock.
lie said that he wanted them all to go
together.
The news spread rapidly over the
neighborhood, and large crowd Of
neighbors soon gathered at the home
of the Masons.
There is every evidence that White
is partially insane. When in his nor
NAL mental condition he does not APP
pear to have a vicious disposition, but
lately he has suffered from fits Of
mental dependency.
White is the witness who testified 50
damagingly against Putnam in the
Beardsley murder trial several years

ANOTHER PROGRAMME
Sherman Betrays a Purpose
OF New Administration.
REGARDING NICARAGUA CANAL
The Present Bin VIII Be Dropped
and the Canal Built by the
GuVernmeut.

Washington, Jan. ga crisis in
the debate on the Nicaragua canal bill
was reached in the senate late today.
1t brought out an energetic statement
from Sherman, in which he fore
shadowed new treaty, by which the
United States can build the canal with
out the intermediation OF a priavte con-
cession. The senator declared that
governmental execution of the project
was the only feasible one. and that all
private efforts in the direction had
proved failures. Answering Morgan's
recent charge that England inspired op-
position to American control OF the
canal, Sherman asserted this was
"bugaboo" wholly without foundation.
He added handsome tribute to Eng
land and her institutions.
Villas followed with motion to re-
commit the canal bill to the committee
on foreign relations, step which Nor
gan characterized as an insult. The
motion was changed so as to make the
recommittal to the special committee
of which Morgan is chairman. The
senate adjourned before vote was
taken, and the Villas motion to recon-
NIT is pending.
The military academy appropriation
bill, carrying approximately $179 900,
was passed, after the defeat OF the
amendment for participation of the
West Point cadets in the inaugural
ceremonies. The amendment led to q
sharp controversy between Allen and
Gray. The bill for an international
monetary conference was not reached
during the day.
/ Washington, Jan. 29.-The house,
after debate of four hours, adopted
the conference report OF the immigra-
/ tion bill by vote of 131 to lis. The
+ principal criticism of the measure
agreed on by the conferees in debate to-
day was based on the extension OF the
educational tests to female rs we'll as
male immigrants, on the ground that it
might divide families, and to the linn
itation TO the ability of an immigrant
+ to read and write the English language
or the language Of his native country or

Messrs. Buck, Dolliver, Bartholdt,
Parker, Walker, Cannon, Grosvenor
and Boatner in opposition, and Messrs.
