KANSAS CITY SCORCHED.
An Attempt Made to Start Il General
COn6agFatiOn.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 15-Since
o'clock last night Kansas City seems
to have been at the mercy of a band
of incendiaries. Between 8 o'clock last
night and 1 o'clock this Thursday
morning seven fires broke out in the
very business center of the city AT
least four, and probably all of those
were of incendiary origin. While the
majority of the blazes were extin-
guished in their incipiency, two of
them resulted in heavy damages. The
big five-story Scarritt block on Wal
nut street, near Ninth, was destroyed,
entailing a loss OF 100000, and from
this structure the flames spread to all
adjoining structure in Main street
also owned by the Scarritt estate. and
occupied by the Campbell & Eaton
Crockery company. The building on
Main street was damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000. and the crockery stock
suffered an equal damage Only by
very narrow margin were other ad-
joining buildings saved from destruc-
ton
1t was While this dangerous fire was
raging that the torch was applied to
various other parts of the business
ClStr1ctS. AT Twelfth street and Grand
avenue the torch was applied to excel
siOr and thrust into the hallway of a
lodging house. AT Fifth and Delaware
fire was started in the rear of the Ar
mOur building. Another fire was start
ed near Loose Bros cracker manu-
factory 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
incendiaries. At l o'clock this morning
when the forces Of the fire department
was scattered, and possibly somewhat
demoralized, fire was discovered in G.
w. Lovejoy's planning mill at Four
teenth and Main streets. The fire had
gained such great Roadway that the
building was soon enVeloped in flames
and within a short time the planning
mill, with all its valuable machinery
and a big stock Of manufactured lum-
Der, was in ruins
The loss is heavy. That this fire
and the fire in the Scaritt block were
Of incindiary origin there is no Oil
rect proof, but all the indications are
that firebugs alone are responsible
What could be the motive of the
1ncendiaries is purely a matter of spec
ulation, but among the excited bust
ness men who are gathered about the
streets in small groups at o'clock
this morning, seriously discussing the
situation, the opinion is frequently eX-
pressed that the rough element, which
has so long held full sway in Kansas
City, and which is now forced to quit
its operations, owing to a complete
oVerhauling Of police administration,
is at the bottom Of the incindiarism.

SITUATION STILL ACUTE.
Strain on the Lower River Levees
Is Tremendous.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1.-THE
river continues to slowly rise at Vicks-
burg and all points south, and the situ-
alton along the Louisiana system of
leVees is acute. The waters are being
hurled Outward with tremendous
force and several thousand men are
working and watching night and day
in one grand effort to hold the embank-
ments intact. Reports from the over
flowed Mississippi delta tonight are not
encouraging. The expected fall in the
waters, that extend for miles and miles
over the fertile valley, has not occurred.
Many well known planters express the
fear that the yellow stream will not
recede until June-tOo late to plant this
years crop. Much suffering still exists

there will probably be slight rise at

A NUMBER OF LEATHER MEN BE-
FORE THE SENATE FINANCE
SUB-COMMITTEE.
TWENTY MEMBERS PRESENT.
GATHERING THE LARGEST EVER
HELD BY THE COMBINED
LEATHER INTERESTS.
DUTY A BOUNTY FOR CANADIANS.
The Proposed Tax Opposed as Prom
Using No Benefit to Any Ameri-
can Manufactured.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE COM
mittee appointed at a recent meeting
of the hide and leather interests, held
in New York, met here this morning
There were about twenty members of
the committee present, representing the
leading leather manufacturers of the
country. Mayor Schieren, Of Brooklyn,
presided. This movement on the part
of the manufacturers is in the interest
of free hides, and to combat a propo-
sition to place duty Of rs per cent
on dry, picked and sailed hides and
more than 80 per cent on green sailed.
The committee claim that this duty
would do great harm to many and con-
fer benefit upon none, with the posi-
bic exception of the leather manufac-
turers Of Canada, to whom the tax
would be bounty which would result
in their securing a large export bust
ness.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appoint a committee Of sew
en- VINO VIII prepare a brief setting
forth the reasons why the leather in
terests are opposed to any duty on
hides, and this will be presented to the
hnance committee of the senate. The
committee consists of Messrs. Webster
OF Boston; Burke, of PHILADELPHIA:
Clarke, of Baltimore; Mooney, of Gin
cinnati; Vogel, of Milwaukee; Bigelow.
of New York, and McLaren, of Chi
cago.
For an hour or so during the after
noon the leather men and the sub
finance committee, of the senate. which
is preparing the tariff bill, were in
conference, and the business Of the
former, as it would be affected by the
proposed duty, was explained to the
senators. The meeting will assemble
again tomorrow, when the committee
preparing the brief probably will pre-
sent its report.
The present is said to be one Of the
largest meetings of the leather trade
and the manufacturers of boots and
shoes ever held.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Speak-
ing Of the presidents appointment Of
commissioners to visit foreign countries
IN the interest of international none
tary conference, William J. Bryan to-
day said he thought the personnel of
the commission selected was excellent.
so far as Mr. Stevenson and Mr. VOL
colt were concerned. Mr.. Payne he did
not know.
Mr.. Wolcott's visit abroad last sum
mer," said he, especially fits him for
service as one of the commissioners
and Mr.. Stevenson's conspicuous posi-
ton in the Democratic party and the
nation makes his appointment entirely
appropriate. The fact that he is a BIZ
mettalist and actively supported the
Democratic party in the demand for
independent action by the United
States instead of being an argument
against him, will lend weight to his in
fuence as one of the commissioners
All Independent bimetallists favor in
ternational bimetallism if it is posi-
BILE, but do not believe in waiting for
other nations to act. The six and a
half millions who supported the de-
mand for Independent bimetallism will
heartily rejoice if the commission Is
able to bring about a restoration OF
international bimetallism But a large
majority, if not all independent bi.
metallists, regard international bimet-
allism as a very remote possibility If
the commissioners fail to secure an in
ternational conference; or if successful.
and an international conference does
not secure foreign cooperation for the
restoration of bimetallism, the cause
of free silver will be stronger in 1900
than in 1886, because many who have
been inclined to rely on foreign aid
will see the necessity Of seIf-reliance
on the part of the people of the United
States

POPULIST POLICY.
1t Is to Force the Republicans to
Maintain a Quorum

WASHINGTON, April 14-The Popu-
list members of the house have decided
to undertake the policy Of forcing the
republicans to keep a quorum in the
city. Without a quorum to carry mo-
tons to adjourn for three days it will
be necessary for the house to meet
every day. Representative Simpson
says that the Populists had expected
the Democrats, as the largest minority
party, to insist upon a quorum, but as
the Democrats are divided upon their
policy the Populists will take the lead
in opposing the majority. After an
informal conference Of the Populists.
letters were sent to those of their own
party who are absent from the city
urging them to return at once. There
are twenty-five Populists in the house
and Mr.. Simpson asserts that he ex-
poets enough Democrats will work
with them to make an effective minor
ity.
Speaker Reed is urging Republican
members not to leave the city and the
number in the house today was I'M
usually large for a time when the
house practically is not in session.

striking him in the left thigh. The
victim fell, but picked himself up and
continued running with the two sup
posed friends in close pursuit. They
gained steadily on him, and when they
had caught up with him Morgan picked
up dead fowl in the road and struck
the robber in the face. The latter
knocked his victim down, jumped on
him and beat him severely about the
head. The other accomplice had come
up by this time and he helped to tor
ture Morgan, who persistently refused
to hand over his cash. In the struggle
Morgan succeeded in wrestling the re-
volver from the robber but 1t was
empty and he threw it up on bank

being nearly strangled to death Nor

The wounded man was found in the
road by soldier from Fort Smelling
who took him up to the fort where he
was cared for and word was sent to the
police. Inspectors Stavlo and Hicks
brought Morgan in and he was taken
to the city hospital where his wounds
were dressed. Although he is we'll
bruised up his injuries will not prove
serious Morgan thinks he can identi-
fly his assailants and the police are
looking for them
