THROUGH THE WEST INDIES.
The Arnored Cruiser Brooklyn Will Sail Away
 From the New York Yard.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Orders have been given by Secretary Long to have the big armored cruiser Brooklyn make a cruise through the West Indies, especially among the Windward Islands. St. Thomas and St. Cruz The vessel is now fitting out at the New York navy yard and will be ready for sea in day or two.
 This cruise of the Brooklyn is to be fol- lowed by others in the same direction, as was the case every winter until the inter position of the veto upon such cruises brought about by the fear that the pres ence of the United States vessels in the neighborhood of Cuba might be misunder- stood The way being now clear for the resumption of the old practice as to win ter cruises, it is the intention of the sec retary of the navy to allow some of the smaller gunboats to touch at points along the coast of Cuba, outside of Havana, such as Matanzas and Santiago and other ports, where the American flag has not been seen on war vessel for, several years.

PIatt Declared the Annexation Treaty
 Should. Be Ratified.
THE SUGAR TRUSTS OPPOSED TO IT
Pettigrew Argued That the Annexation fof the Islands Would Inevitably Destroy the Beet Sugar Industry of
 the United States,

Washington, Feb. 1.-The condition of ation treaty has greatly improved and the friends of the treaty including Senator Davis, chairman of the foreign relations committee, are confident that sixty sena- tors whose votes are necessary for a two- thirds majority, will vote for ratification.
 Confidence in the changed condition is found in the determination of the friends of ratification to press forward the treaty to a final vote. This feeling was shown when the proceedings of the senate on the treaty in executive session today were opened. Senator Thurston introduced motion for the postponement of further consideration of the treaty until March 1.
 The motion was discussed at length and was voted down viva voce.
 Commercial Point of View
 Senator Platt of Connecticut opened the debate with carefully arranged argument in favor of annexation. He dwelt princi- pally upon the importance of the acquisi- tion of the islands from a commercial point of view. He contended that our com- merce would in all cases follow our civil- ization, and urged that we should use every legitimate method to extend our trade with outside nations, as by pursuing this course we would also extend our institutions and ideas of government. The Hawaiian isl- ands he regarded as essential to the com mand of the traffic on the Pacific ocean.
 Senator P,att charged that the sugar trust was opposed to annexation He said th4re were certain partieS whom he did not name, who were supposed to be identi- fled with the trust who had a grievance against the present. government of the islands and alleged that they were using all the means at their command to prevent the acquisition of this country by the United States He urged upon the senate the importance of not giving ear to the representations of the trusts and said that on the contrary the United States should extend the hand of brotherhood to the sister republic. of the Pacific, which was so anxious to jon it's fortunes with our own.
 Would Be Death to Beet Industry
 Senator Pettigrew then took the floor in opposition of the ratification of the treaty. He argued, among other things, that to annex the islands would mean the inevi- table des,ta-uncton of the sugar beet indus try in the United States
 Senator White, of California, also argued in opposition to the treaty.
 He took occasion to remark In reply to Senator Platt's statement that he sugar trust was opposed to the treaty that most of the senators who were popularly be- lieved to be interested in the sugar trust were favorable to the treaty.

TELEPHONE COMPANY HAS THE BEST OF IT
City of Richmond Prevented From Running Its
 Poles and Wires.

Richmond. Va., Feb. 1-In the United States circuit court of appeals Judge Si- monton today handed down an opinion in the case of the city of Richmond against the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company. The case involved the act of congress of 1866, declaring the streets of city are post roads of the United States Judge Simonton holds that while the act specified only telegraph companies as en- titled to its provisions, a telephone line is to all intents the same thing, and there fore entitled to it's privileges. The Bell Telephone company's charter having ex- pired, the city exercised it's stipulated right to revoke it, but was enjoined from inter- fering with the company's poles and wires. The effect of the decision is to modify the injunction so as to prevent the city from driving the company from it's streets, but the city is permitted to retain its police powers

Jumped From a Window, Landing Safely
 in the SnOW.
VERY LITTLE PROPERTY SAVED
By the Guests, Who Ran About in the Widest Excitement-The Fire Originated Near
 the Laundry - Total Loss
 Estimated $lOO,0OO.

Gloversville, N. T., Feb. 1.-The Alvord house, one of Gloversville's old landmarks, as well as the largest hotel in Fulton county, lies buried in it's own ashes. At 2 o'clock this morning the Alvord was a handsome four-story brick structure. An hour later it was a mass of ruins. The building burned with almost incredible rap idity, and spectators shuddered at the thought that some of the inmates would be unable to escape from the fiery furnace. At this season the business is unusually large, and it is understood that nearly ev- cry room in the building was occupied
 The fire started on the ground floor and shot up through the upper stories with lightning-like speed the broad stairs and railways furnishing great fues which car ried the flames upward. Almost immedt- ateIy after the flames were discovered the alarm was sounded through the house, and the big hotel was soon the scene of the widest confusion. There was wild scramble on the part of the guests to es- cape from the building with their personal property but many were forced to flee without saving anything. A few of the guests made their escape by the stairways, but the smoke soon cut off this retreat. The next resort of the imprisoned people was the windows. As their terror-stricken faces appeared, the great crowd below

ELECTRIC TALtAHO COACHES.
The Government Blocks the Game to Use Them
 in Chickamauga Park.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The published statement that the secretary of war has granted permission to run electric doubled decked tally-ho coaches through the Chick amauga national park, equipped with stor- age batteries, gasoline engines and dyna- mos is wholly unauthorized
 This report having been brought to the attention of the park commission, the chairman says no such permission has been given or is likely to be given for the reason such heavy vehicles would destroy the costly roads of the park, and run ming at any speed; to say nothing of the twelve miles an hour rate which is pro- posed, they would render the entire mile- age of the park dangerous for all others, riding or driving

Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 1.-The democratic legislative caucus on the first ballot to- night nominated for senator Thomas B. Hurley, of Memphis, to fill out the unex- pired term of Isham G. Harris. and who was appointed by Governor Taylor senator after Senator Harris death
 The result was a. surprise to all specta- tors, for it was not expected the deadlock would be broken tonight. The ballot stood Hurley 46; McMia,n 4S: Taylor 1. Efforts had been made during the day to induce Hurley to withdraw in Taylor's behalf. It is stated he positively refused. Then ne gotiations to deliver the Taylor vote 10 Turley were begun and resulted in the dropping of Taylor and the delivery of sufficient number of votes to Hurley to brought to the capitol, where he addressed a large audience

xLs. VICTORY IS CERTAIN.
Dubois, of the Silver Republicans, Goes to
 Confer With the Leaders.

Blackfoot, Idaho, Feb. 1-Ex-Senator Dubois, chairman of the executive commit tee of the national republican party, left for the east tonight at the request of the silver leaders to confer with them for the purpose of uniting all the silver forces.
 Chairman Dubois says the vote in the senate in favor of the Teller resolution has convinced the silver advocates that with a close union of the silver forces victory in 1898 and 1900 is certain. Under the con- templated arrangement the populists, silver republicans and democratic parties will each maintain a distinct organization.

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
House Committee on Establishing Such De-
 partment Meets.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The house commit. tee on interstate and foreign commerce en- tered into an extended discussion of the project for the creation of a department of commerce and industry today. Most of the members participated in the inter- change of views, and there seemed to be a general desire for some measure of this character.
 The bill now being considered by the committee, however, is not satisfactory in several particulars to some of the mem- bers and a substitute is likely to be pre- sented. There is a strong opposition to the erection of such an office to the posi- tion of cabinet rank. The legislation, if drafted at all, judged by today's proceed ings, will have in view the making of tho office of relatively lower grade, with perhaps the same status as the department of labor.

case the verdict was not to their liking, the prisoner has at all times been moved under strong guard.
 There is considerable comment over the levity, whether forced or natural, which has been displayed by Gafford When John D. Gafford< was brought into court yesterday and aAked to plead, he answered mot guilty in voice full of confidence, and almost immediately assumed an air of levity, laughing and joking with his own and the states attorney, though he cast an anxious eye on the court now and then.
 He had grown a goatee since his incar ceration, which gives him even fiercer aspect than he possessed without the hir- sute appendage.
 Feeling Runs High
 Feeling runs pretty high on the case here, but it is stronger in the county where the erstwhile desperado has hosts of friends. The defense makes no secret of the desire to obtain jury from the ranks of those affiliated politically with the de- fendant. A special venire of 76 jurors, in- cluding the regular panels, was drawn in the presence of Gafford, and he evinced considerable satisfaction as the occupation of most of them was read off "farmers, but when the name of Morris, undertaken, from beat 12 was announced, the prisoner repeated the jurors profession with start ling emphasis.
 Will She Sacrifice Honor?
 Both sides have summoned as a witness Mrs. Miller, Gaffords sister, who is said to be in Birmingham.
 It remains to be seen whether she will sacrifice her own honor for her brothers liberty. This phase of the case adds to its sensational interest and in fact gives a romantic tone to the proceedings of jus- tice.
 A big fight will be made on the advisa- bility of this evidence along with the tes- timony of the deceased's legislatorial com panions and of Major Screws, of Mont gomery, which an attempt will be made to introduce to give coior to the theory of his sisters discredt by which it is hoped to at least mitigate Gafford's penalty.

MARTIN ON TRIAL
Fifteen Cases Were NoIIe Pressed
 in Beginning. SEVEN JURORS SELECTED
Claimed That Prosecution Has Evidence to Con vict the Defendants Threats Alleged
 to Have Been Made Beforehand.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. Mot since the trials of the Molly Maguires has case attracted so much interest on the coal region as that of Sheriff Martin and his eighty-two deputies, which began in the Luzerne county court today. Hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission.
 Sheriff Martin and his eighty-two depu- ties are charged with shooting and kill ing twenty-two striking miners and with wounding over fifty more at Latimer this county, on Sept. 10, 1897. The eighty deputies marched in a body, and after seating themselves began to read the morning papers, apparently unconcerned.
 The bar was crowded with laweyrs, while around the tables were grouped some of the best attorneys in this section of the state. Judge Woodward presided.
 The commonwealth asked for nolle prosse in the cases of Leonard Babcock, William Drum, John Dougherty, J. J. Gal lagher, William Mulhall, Fred Aslop, Will liam Costello, William Stewall, Calvin Pardee, John W. Crooks, Jr., R. c. Warri- ner, Thomas A. Harris, Samuel Arnold, Craig Anderson and Samuel Gundery.
 The court then allowed the motion and the nolle prosse was entered. The work of selecting a jury was then begun. Dur ing the afternoon seven jurors were se- lected, and at 5:50 o'clock court adjourned until tomrrow.
 The prosecution claims to have sufficient evidence to convict fifteen of the defend ants. It is alleged that every one of the fifteen made threats the morning of the shooting. It is claimed one man said: "I would like to get a chance to shoot down some of the damned foreigners" Another is reported to have said: q will help fill them full of holes; the country would be better off without them"
 It is also claimed Sheriff Martin had an understanding with the deputies. It has been claimed all along that the sheriff never gave the order to fire. The pros- ecution say this may be true in one sense of the word, but the sheriff gave signal, which was just as effective as a word by mouth order. The signal was for the sher- if to pull his revolver. The instant he did this the posse was to fire The lawyers for the defense say no witnesses will be found to testify to such facts, but the at- torneys for the prosecution say there will.

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
The Movements Are Confined Within Space of
 Fifty Miles.

Oaxaca, Mexico, Feb. 1.-Earthquakes in the region of the city of Tehuantepec, in this state, are puzzling the local scientists. The localization of the seismic phenome- ma is remarkable, fully 90 per cent. of the movements being confined within space of fifty miles in one direction and twenty five miles in another. and one of the note worthy things is that the subterranean rumblings are frequently heard without any commotion on the earth's crust. In some localities the noises are similar to those of a constant bombardment and it would seem that the town was under seige.

PUBLIC FEELING RUNS HIGH
And the Jail at GreenviIIe is Guarded By the Mtary-Both Sides Are After Mrs. Miller For
 Witness.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Greenville, Feb IA new phase in the Gafford trial was sprung today. when Rep resentative Stallings applied by wire to Judge Tyson for continuance of the case. Judge Tyson at once replied: "No con- tinuance Must have early trial, and pos- sibility now that Seating will not attend as prosecutor"
 Representative Stalings replied that he desired continuance on account of the Plowman contest case, which comes up in the house Friday, and that his vote was badly needed. A second dispatch to Judge Tyson was signed by all of the Ala bama delegation and a similar explana- tion was put forth. The judge. however, adhered to his former decision.
 Aroused Lloyd Forces
 This intelligence, if possible, caused the feeling to run higher among the Lloyd forces, and a combination of sentiment among the best classes antagonistic to Gafford is only too apparent.
 The military, which guarded the jail last night, is again on duty and with the fall ing of night are watching with renewed vigilance.
 As it was mooted by the partisans of Gafford that there is an organized body of 100 men in Butler county ready and willing to adorn his neck with halter in

watched breathlessly, hoping against hope, that all would be saved. The guests who were thus. entrapped, did not long hesitate to take the risk of jumping, though some l were rescued from their perilous positions by the firemen. Others leaped from the windows, several being more or less in- jured.
 Landed in the snow Findlay Morrow, g. travelling salesman for an Albany house, clad only in shirt and trousers, jumped from a window, land- ing safely in the snow. Mr. and Mrs. J. c. Strauss, of this city, finding no escape by way of the halls, step- ped out of the window and onto the nar- row ledge or cornice, where they stood ten or fifteen minutes awaiting the rescuers. With the aid of ladder the hook and lad der men brought them safely to the ground. Mrs. Strauss lost her jewelry and ward robe, valued at s1,OOO l.. G. Lambert, a Chicago glove buyer, jumped from a second story window and broke his right arm besides receiving in- ternal injuries.
