Der and single output in 1896 The
statement shows the state produced g.

565, 100000 feet as compared with the
output of 1892. At the close Of the

Sets Free the Alleged Murderers of Albert
Molitor in 1873.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. Ex-Governor
Pingree added another chapter to his
dramatic career yesterday by going to
Jackson prison and in person delivering
pardons to August Furhman, Carl Voeg-
Ter, August Grossman and Henry ia
cobs, who were convicted four years
ago of the crime of numbering Albert
Molitor at Rogers City, Presque Isle
county, in 1878. Molitor was a dictator
among his German countrymen, whom
he had induced to settle in the wilder
ness. His reign became so despotic
and cruel that secret oath was taken
by his subjects that they would take his
life, and that should any of the conspir-
ators reveal the secret crime it should
be fastened upon him.
The deed was accomplished as Moli-
tor was working in his store one Au.
gust night. No clue to the perpetrators
was had until 1893, when one William
Repke confessed to participation in 1t
and implicated the men who were par
doned yesterday, and they were all con-
victed and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Subsequently Repke made affi-
davit that his testimony was perjury.
The case was then taken up by the
state board Of pardons, which after two
years expressed the belief that the men
were innocent, and that the real perpe-
traitors of the crime were dead or be-
yond reach Of law.

Four Men Caught by Flames In Mich

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 3.-The Penn
sylvania state capitol was destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon, the legislative
halls are in ruins and new structure
must rise from the ashes that has
served as meeting place Of the Penn
slyvania legislature since 1922. The
flames, within the short space of one
hour, ate up 81 500, 900 worth of property.
The inefficiency of the Harrisburg vol
unteer fire department Is generally
blamed. The house was in session and
the senate was about to convene after a
| few minutes recess when about
| o'clock the flames were discovered.
Smoke could be seen in small volumes
pouring out into the capitol grounds
from the house windows. The members
were not mindful of it until the great
clouds rolled by the windows. Instant

| all was CONSERVATION.
Senators Were Given a Surprise.
In the senate the members were loll-
ing about in their seats The place be-
| gan to smell of smoke and soon dense
| clouds rolled down the rear elevator
shaft. Senator Grady, of Philadelphia,
quickly warned the senator's, and there
was a general hustle to remove effects.
Fire alarms were sent in and the dig
| nified senate became a mass of bowling
men, desks being jerked loose and car
ried out. The same work was going on
| in the house chamber. Out in the
grounds great crowds quickly gathered
The firemen were sending little streams
Of water to the roof where the flames
were breaking through, but it was USE

of water. The fire soon had possession
of every portion of the building and the

dome from which fine view of the sur
rounding country could be had. The

is openly ascribed to Hanotaux, and the
ass ertion is not denied. 1t contains these
significant sentences: "a great danger III
the Balkans was the possibility of 6 col
hsion between Austria and Russia. That
is now over, as Emperor Francis Joseph
and the Car have realized the great idea
of Catherine l and Nicholas | as TO the
understanding between Austria and Rus
sia in the presence of the Turk. But this
understanding has taken place within a
European concert ana does not affect the
respective alliances OF the two countries
Of course if there were an alliance be-
tween the three Emperors this would
mean an end of the Franco Russian union.
But the understanding between the repub-
lie and the Muscovite empire is more
cordial than ever. 1t is neither an ex-
elusive nor a jealous arrangement. The
two countries are absolutely pacific, and
wish to establish general confidence and
solidity in Europe"
This may be interpreted as a warning
to the Gar not to ally himself with En-
peror William or an Endorsement of the
Austro-Russian understanding.

CAUTIOUS HAROLD SEKALL.
The New Minister to Hawaii Positively
Declines to Discuss ihe Affairs
OF the Islands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May S.-Harold
Sewall, the new Minister to the Hawaiian
Islands, was seen by d CALL representa-
tive at the Metropolitan Club tonight.
Mr.. Sewall was shown dispatch from San
Francisco In which he was reported as
saying that the administration was very
much disturbed and perplexed about re-
ports of Japan's intention OF ultimately
occupying Hawaii, and that the rapid set
tlement OF the Hawaiian Islands by Jap
anese was part of this programme.
Minister Sewall said to THE CALL CORE
spondent: 81 do not care to discuss this
matter. OF course you will readily un.
derstand why it would be improper for
me, as diplomatic representative, to ex-
press my views or to repeat whatever
may have heard from the State Depart
ment. You may say, however. that since
my appointment l have studiously en-
deavored to avoid meeting newspaper
men, and you are the first l have seen. l
bave no prejudice against newspaper cor
respondents, but what one says is so often
distorted.
"If recently appointed diplomatic
agent of the United States wants to keep
out of trouble he had better keep his
mouth closed. 1 have adhered to this and
any reports quoting me or pretending to
give my views are manufactured
Mr.. Sewall says he has not yet received
any instructions as to the exact time he
will leave for the islands, although he had
long talk recently with President Nc
Kinley. He will go direct from here to
San Francisco, having closed up his busi-
ness affairs in Maine.

the Orient, brings advices that Count Okuma,
the apanese Minister at Washington, has
been instructed to dispatch the American
adviser of the Japanese legation in the United
States, d. W. Stevens, to Hawaii at once 20 aid
in settling the Hawaiian trouble. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Stevens and Counselor
Akyami, sent from the Foreign Office at Toxic,
will assist Mr.. Shimaru, the Japanese repre-
sen tative at Honolulu. in conducting negotia-
tions with the Haw allan Government.
A Star reporter, who visited the Japa-
nese legation here to-day, was informed
that Mr.. Stevens, counselor of the lega-
ton, was not going to Hawaii, as indi-
Gated in the above dispatch. 1t appears
that when trouble seemed imminent a
sbor. time ago the Japanese authorities
instructed Minister Hoshi to have Mr..
Stevens proceed to Hawaii. Subsequently,
however, the situation became more
pacific and Mr.. Stevens trip was aban-
doned as unnecessary.
Recent advices to the legation show that
the Japanese Government, as we'll as the
people of that country, is in no way agi-
tateo over the Hawaiian situation. The
Japanese Government has put stop to
all emigration to Hawaii. 1t is also
stated that the dispatch of Japanese
warship to Honolulu was in no sense a
menace, but was intended simply to re-
strain any possible demonstration by the
Japanese there, in consequence of the ex-
clusion of Japanese immigrants.
In this connection 1t is said that an
offer by the United States to use its good
offices in securing a settlement of the
trouble would doubtless be accepted by
JaDan.

In his efforts to save the lives of others
