Burned.

Owosso, Mich, Nov. IA. - The village
of Perry. south of this city, was visited
by a terrific fire on Saturday. Rowe
d Co.'S large livery barn, with its con-
tents, was burned TO the ground.
Charles Taylor, one of the proprietors,
and family lived over the barn. Mrs.
Taylor. her daughter. and an old man
named Clark were buried beneath the
fallen roof and burned to death. The
building was so suddenly enveloped in
flames that they could not escape. Mr..
Taylor got out, but he was frightfully
burned and cut. DR.. A. l.. Compton, a
veterinary surgeon, and boy who slept
In the Office escaped. The cause of the
fire is unknown. The bodies. when
pulled out of the ruins. were burned
beyond recognition. A dozen horses
and carriages and few cattle and some
hay, grain. ETC., were burned. The
village had no water supply and moth

PLACE FOR M'MILLAN.
The senator May He Named tn Succeed
Secretary Hay as Ambassador
to Great Britain.

Washington, ID. C., Nov. 14.-United
States Senator James Mcmillan Of Mich
igan is to succeed Secretary of State
Hay as ambassador to Great Britain,
unless Secretary Alger and few of
his personal friends have been misin-
formed. The statement came so di-
rectly from man who is in position
TO be advised on the subject that il
is considered absolutely correct. All
efforts TO obtain an authorized con-
firmation of the report have been fu-
tile, but at the same time those who
are closely associated with Senator
Mcmillan and Secretary Alger have
stated without qualification in un-
guarded moments during the last few
weeks that the incident is as good as
closed, so far as Senator McMillan's ap-
pointment by the president is con-
cerned
OF course the inference is that when
Senator Mcmillan resigns his seat in
the senate Gov. Pingree of Michigan
will appoint Secretary Alger to fill out
the uneXpired term, which lasts until
March 3, 1903. This is the plan said
TO have been agreed upon some time
previous to the recent elections.
Senator Mcmillan is now rounding
cut his second term in the senate and
he has no further aspirations in that
direction. The novelty of being one
of the richest members of thai dis
tinguished body, and in addition be-
ing regarded as one of the ablest and
most astute councillors in the republic
TN party, has passed, and he is said to
be willing to GO to the court Of st.
James during the remainder of the Nc
Kinley administration.
Secretary Alger, il is believed, would
not hesitate 10 resign his seat at the
cabinet table, with all its multifarious
possibilities, and accept a taga at
the hands of his personal friend, the
executive of the state of Michigan.

Constitutional Convention.

Detroit, Nov. 12. - The most impor-
tant feature of Tuesdays election in
Michigan has been overlooked in the
rush of compiling returns and seeing
who was and who wasn't elected. Gov.
Pingree, with a Legislature back of
him, is likely to have a constitutional
convention. There is no doubt, judg-
ing from the small constitutional
amendment returns received, that 1t
will have a large majority. AS the
amendment must have majority of all
votes cast, however, the result may not
be definitely known until the official
canvass is completed.

THE ELECTION.
GOV. Pingree's Plurality Is Ab0u7
$4,000 - Condition Of the
Senatorial Contest.

Detroit, Nov. 10.-Returns from the
state are as yet incomplete, but enough
have been received TO show that Gov.
Pingree has been reelected by plural
ity which will not necessitate the Off
cial count to determine the result
Chairman Marsh, of the republican
state central committee, says he ex-
poets the plurality to be close to So
900. Returnsat hand show that Whiting
carried only four counties-Crawford
100; Jackson, IT'S; Lenawee. 200, and
Monroe, 3O6. But the republicans con-
cede him only one county, jackson.
OF the 80 state senator's the demo-
Gratis elected five and possibly six. In
the house they will have five votes,
while eight others are in doubt. Con-
ceding them all to the democrats, the
republicans will have a majority of 81
and majority on joint ballot of 104
The Detroit Journal, republican, says:
Senator Burrows will surely have 10
members of the legislature, and prob
ably so, who will vote in caucus and In
joint session for his return to the
United States senate. This insures his
reelection against all possible COM
binations. Sixty votes will probably
decide the caucus nomination, where
by ii may be seen that Burrows has
completely won his fight"
On the other hand, Fred Blakeley. Al
bert Packs lieutenant, has this to say:
II have seen the claims of the Burrows
men, but they don't frighten me, and
I'll tell you now that Pack will be elect
ed United States senator. There will
be about ten democrats in both houses.
That will leave 122 republicans and GO
Will be necessary TO carry the caucus.
The fact is Mr.. Pack has 90 of those 122
republicans.
Michigan will be represented in con-
gress by solid republican delegation,
