The Washington Post, an indepen-
dent Democratic newspaper, pays the
following splendid tribute to Presi
dent McKinley
In this hour of rejoicing and relief,
while ,as is right and proper, we visit
with acclamation the men who have
led our military forces with such cour-
age and address, it is well to keep al
ways before us the thought of that
firm yet gentle hand which from the
first has been upon the helm of state,
and which, with wise and noble guild
ance, has steered us into port-the
hand of William Mckinley, president
and patriot, philanthropist and war;
rior. To his undaunted courage, lofty
purpose and immovable devotion we
owe not only the swift and splendid
victory we have won, but the glory of
having won it as gentlemen and
Christians. He it was who, at the
outset, curbed the passionate extrav-
agance of those who had invoked the
judgment of the sword. He foresaw
the calamaties which our first out
burst of ardor would have entailed up
on us; he stood firm against the clam
or of the unthinking multitude. He
1t was who held congress at bay, with
its insane hypothesis of Cuban inde-
pendence, meaning the regime of the
insurgents. his wisdom set us in the
straight and narrow path of justice.
His quiet strength has held us there.
We stand today free from all compli-
cations, at liberty to carry out our
wholesome and beneficient schemes of
restoration, simply because William
Mckinley cast away the fetters that
were offered us by folly and excess of
zeal. We are masters of the situation,
bound to ignoble course and touched
by no discreditable alliances, solely
because he, with clear head and tender
heart and potent hand, has saved us
from ourselves.

The way affairs have taken a turn
in the Dreyfus case must make Emile
Zola, the novelist, feel good to the
bursting point.
The news points to the innocence
of Dreyfus, and to the hellish guilt Of
one Col. Henry, man high up in the
military world. He suicided to escape
disgrace. It's pity he hasn't another
life on earth that he might be made to
endure some of the suffering he caused
to be given to Dreyfus.
1t will be two happy men met
when Zola and Dreyfus meet for the
next time and discuss matters con-
cerning the case.

Military Position.

WASN'T. gton, Feb. 25.-The President
today appointed Col. Henry C. Corbin

coed Gen. Samuel Breck. retired on ac-
count of age. Gen. Breck had held the
Office only since Sept. IL last, when he
succeeded Adjutant General Ruggles.
General Brock was born in Massa-
chusetts in 1884 and graduated from
the Military academy in 1855. He was
an instructor in the academy at the

ly relinquished that post to undertake

Ohio and entered the army as an en-
listed man at the beginning OF the late
war. He had most brilliant career
and earned brevets for gallant and
meritorious service at Decatur and

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Big Tobacco Warehouses in Louisville, KY,
Devoured by Flames.
Injury of Three Men who Were Hemmed
In by the Blazo-Others Slightly Hurt
Many Hundreds Were at Work.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 25.-The pick
of the National Tobacco company, stu
ated at Twenty-fourth and Main
streets We're totally destroyed by fire
this morning. The loss will amount to
$1,000 900, fully covered by insurance.
Three men We're hemmed In by the
flames and were more or less injured
before they could make their egress.
They are:
George Tissenderf, foreman picking
department, back injured and severe
hurts about head and chest.
William Semple, picker, skull frac-
tured.
John Packham, both legs broken and
internally injured.
Mr. w. II. Duke of New York, presi-
dent of the American Tobacco company
OF which the National Tobacco COM
pany of Louisville is a branch, Is in
the city and witnessed the destruction
OF his property. He said 1t will be re-
built.
The fire was discovered at s o'clock
on the second fqor of the building
used for drying purposes, Three alarms
called the fire department to the scene,
and although the firemen worked he
roically they could do little more than
save the property adjoining. as the
three buildings occupy nearly the entire
square between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth and Main and Market
streets, and We're seen to be doomed.
From the three-story dying building
the flames spread rapidly west to the
four-story warehouse and east to the
three-story steaming house. In the
building which caught first, 200 hands,
mostly women and children, were en-
ployed, but the majority of these

ly injured. as did 200 who were at work
In the steaming building. In the four
story warehouse 1000 men were at
work. but they had plenty of time to
escape.
The flames gained rapid Roadway.
and the fire department was hindered
to n great degree by lack of water,
seven engines being at one time use
less. Failing walls added to the danger
of the work. and the escape OF some
Of the firemen was all but miraculous.
When the alarm of fire was sounded
in the picking department the employees
of this building began to make their
escape in an orderly manner, but Geo.
Tisshenderf, foreman of two of the
floors. and John Packham and William
Semple remained in the burn
ing building and were forced to
jump for their lives.
Packham and Semple sustained in
juries which will probably result In
their death.
Fourteen hundred men, women and
children are thrown out of employ
ment The origin of the fire is un-
known. The Waterman said he left
the building to go home at o'clock
and that everything was all right
then. The employees go to work at $3.50
o'clock and It was not until after they
had been at work about two hours and
a half that the fire was discovered.

PROCTOR FOR HAVANA.
AMERICAN EXODUS FROM CUBA EXPECTED


Key West, Fla, Feb. Ex-senator
Proctor will leave today for Havana,
Although he disclaims having been
sent on any special mission by the
President there is good ground for the
belief that he will be in possession OF
a vast amount of valuable Information
when he returns.
Il cannot believe" said trn
that 100000 people have died as n re =.
suit Of Weyler's order. That would
be large proportion of the total pop
ulation Of the island"
II is evident that General Lee has
some slight foreknowledge of what Is
likely to happen In Havana when the
facts connected with the sinking of the
Maine are fully developed. because of
advising Americans to leave. There
was not full passenger list on the
Olivette,and those who came over Were
mainly tourists The exodus VIII be-
come general it is thought by next
week, when the harbor will be without
an American ship OF any kind.
There is danger here of an uprising
against the Spaniards in Key West.
The people of this town are fretting
over the delay of the government, and
are each day growing more and more
intolerant here of the presence Of the
naval attache of the Spanish consul
ate, Fernandez. He boosted of the
power of his fellows In Spain to blow
the Maine out of the water whenever
they desired. and has frequently ex-
ulted in public over the disaster to the
Maine. He refused to half-maSt the
flag over the consulate on learning of
the Maine disaster, although every
other flag in Key West was at half
mast

SITUATION IN WASHINGTON.
How the Maine Arnirs to Date are
Summed Up Thcee.

Washington, Feb, SYSTEMATICALLY
there IL II quieter feeling manifest at
the navy department n:cr the Maine
affair as time passes. This is the
tenth day since the noble warship was
destroyed, but the officers are willing
to wait in patience at the admon'tion
of the President and Secretary r.
until the facts relating to the D.
sion are fully developed.
They are fully on their guard against
the acceptance OF unauthorized state
nlents of the conditions at Hayana
and the daily developments, being
aware of the efficiency of the precau-
lions adopted by the court of inquiry
to prevent the premature disclosure OF
the proceedings. Therefore, the pub
lished statement that the explosion
has been demonstrated to be OF ex-
terror origin by the discovery of the
upheaved bottom Of the Maine did not
cause much stir, because the officials
could not conceive that the alert MEM
beers of the court OF inquiry and Their
assistants In Havana had overlooked
a fact so important as this, notwith.
standing 1t being perfectly apparent for
a week to any one who came near the
wreck.
Captain Crowninshield turned UP al
the navy department today and took
the helm in the bureau of navigation.
relieving Captain Dickens. who has
distinguished himself and earned the
thanks of the secretary for the I'M
dying vigilance with which he has
managed the many details OF the
Maine AFFAIR that have fallen upon the
navigation bureau, and of the news
paper men for the patience and frank
ness with which he has met their
many inquiries.
Captain Crowninshlelds' absence has
been made the basis for the conjecture
that he has been ON secret service for
the nIvy department in Cuba, and
color was lent TO this impression by
the fact that II was not possible until
a late hour yesterday to secure from
any OF the officials n statement OF the
nature OF his business In the South, for
It was known that he had arrived In
Tampa on the Montgomery from the
West Indies. The officer himself was
not very communicative as to the de-
tails of hts trip, but he did say that
he had been In San Domingo. He had
