Ashevile, N. c., June 15,-An unex-
pected incident of President McKin-
ley's visit developed yesterday after
noon, when it became known to news
paper men accompanying the party
that permission to enter Biltmorc
house, George w. Vanderbilt's splen-
did mansion, had been rcfu:ts to them,
while extended to other members of
the party. Mr.. Vanderbilt is abroad
and his representative, Charles Nc
Nance. is with him. In the absence of
both the estate Is goverened by L. j.
Harding, said to be an Englishman by
birth. When waited on by the local
committee of arrangements a day or
two ago he objected strongly to re.
ceiVing any members of the party other
than the president ana his cabinet
and the ladies' with them. In the course
of conversation had with two mem
bers of the committee he said: Mr.
Vanderbilt spfts on newspaper motor
iety, and so do l." After this there
was nothing for the local committee
to do but withdraw So the matter
rested until yesterday, when the presi-
dent arrived and j. Addison Porter,
his secretary, was told of the incident.
He must have informed the president,
for later Mr. Harding was called upon
the telephone by Mr.. Porter and asked
If it were true that newspaper men
would not be admitted to the man
sion. Mr.. Porter was told that It was,
and then he informed MIR. Harding
that the president considered the news-
paper men were his invited guests on
the trip, and that they were as much
contingent Of the party as members
Of the cabinet. Furthermore. Mr. Por-
ter notified Mr.. Harding that the presi-
dent had authorized him to say that II
the newspaper men were barred from
the mansion he would not step his
foot inside the estate. This brought
things TO crisis, and Mr.. Harding
capitulated with the best grace pos
sible, and the newspaper men were ad-
mittcd to the mansion on the same
footing as the president and his cab
met,

that date he spent most of his time in
London, living at first In Earl Spen-
GERS town residence, but moving final
ly into a magnificent mansion over
looking Hyde Park.
While In Africa he was married and
had three children. two sons and
daughter. He always had, or professed
to have, boundess faith in the future
of the Transvaal. and his personal
popularity among all classes of Afri-
kanders was very great. In London,
where he was constantly besieged by
fatterers, beggars and projectors of all
sorts Of enterprises, he finally became
quite inaccessible to all except his
most intimate friends. But they liked
him thoroughly and believed in him.
even when keeneyed English financiers
began to look askance at his enter
prises and openly to predict his ulti-
mate collapse.
Barnato's private generosity was
frequently expressed. and in the au-
tumn of 1895 he sent $4,000 TO the
lord mayor Of London for distribution
among the London poor.
Barnato took prominent part in
the complications Immediately follow
ing the Jameson raid, and subsequent
ly subscribed $4,000 to the fund which
paid of the fines imposed ON the raid
ers.
About month ago it was rumored
that his health was suffering from the
severe tension of speculation, and in
the latter part of May it was reported
from Cape Town that he was suffering
from nervous prostration, and had
been placed by his friends under re-
stYaint This was subsequently, denied
by his London representative. who said
that Barnato was suffering from
slight attack Of Cape fever not likely

New York. June 15.-The United
States government immigrant station
on Ellis Island, In New York harbor

but with probably no loss of life. The
fire was first seen at 1888 a. m. by the
lookout from the harbor police station.
The fire spread rapidly. At los a.
m. the caves along the entire roof
began to Sail, setting fire to the wooden
piers and docks on either side. At 1:12
a. m. the whole island was mass of
flames, Illuminating the entire inner
harbor and Ito lower part of New York
city.
The fire boat New Yorker was soon
under headway, with firemen, police
men and others, and the fire boat 70
phar Mills was sent to the island as
quickly as she could be made ready.
Later many persons went over in tugs
and rowboats.
The end of the building in which the
fire started was used for sleeping,
cooking and eating by the immigrants.
The detention pen in which there are
always a considerable number of i'm
migrants being held for investigation,
was soon consumed.
The main building, containing the
valuable records relating to the pas
sage of immigrants into this country
through this port, was totally de-
stroyed, with its contents.
At 1:40 a. m. all the immigrants,
about 200 in number were brought
safely from Ellis Island to the barge
office on the Battery, the only persons
left on the island being the firemen and
few attendants.
The ferry boat John G. Carlisle,
which plies between the battery and
Ellis Island, arrived at 1.50 o'clock this
morning from the island with the sick
from the hospital. There were rs men
and 46 women and children on the
boat. Twenty of the women were sick,
one of them suffering from typhoid
fever and said to be in serious con-
dition. With the party also were the
doctors and nurses.
