Charles Jones, manager of the
Douglass furnace, at Sharon, Pa, re-
turned home Monday from the Klon-
dixie. Mr.. Jones is thoroughly dis
gusted with the region. He said:
"The news from that God-forsaken
region is greatly exaggerated. There
is scarcely any truth in the reports
sent out, and it is q scheme for the
transportation and land companies to
picture only the bright side of the
story.
I was in Seattle for over o month
and had q good chance TO investigate
the condition OF affairs. The Klon-
dixie is veritable death trap and de-
liberate suicide would be as sensible
thing to do as to travel there by the
Chilkoot or White pass. There will
be over 200, ZOO people who will 60 to
the gold fields this year, and it is adj
mitted by conservative miners that
one out of every 500 will make their
expenses.

his revolver soon after the first blow,
was struck, but in doing so, according
to Stein, unbreeched it. Judge Der

MANY DEAD IN CHICAGO FIRE
UNFORTUNATES BURIED UNDER
DEBRIS OF A BIG BUILDING.
NUMBER OF DEAD YET UNKNOWN
Hundreds of Persons Were In the Fsted
Structure when tho Flames Broke
Out and Pandemonium Reigued.

The worst fire that has occurred in
Chicago since the Cold Storage ware
house holocaust at the Worlds fair, in
1898, broke out in the building at the
corner Of Wabash avenue and jackson
boulevard Wednesday.
The number Of dead is still in doubt
and probably will not be definitely
known until the debris OF the building
is sufficiently cooled to admit Of a
search being made for the bodies OF
those who are undoubtedly in the
ruins. Three men are known to be
dead. They are: Samuel A. Clark,
bookkeeper for the Olmstead Company;
Miles A. Smith, salesman for Olms-
tead Scientific Company, and Edwin
Binz, cashier for Sweet, Wallach &
Co.
The missing, Of whom nothing could
be learned at a late hour Wednesday
night and most of whom are without
question buried in the wreck OF the
building, are: w. A. Olmstead, presi-
dent, @. 81. Arms, secretary; Mrs. M. E.
Harris, widow, bookkeeper Of the COM
pany named; unknown woman, T. F.
Anderson, Fred Hamill, G. A. Price,
Solomon Grollmann, Jr., Solomon
Grollmsnn, ST., Anna Guest, William
Marvin and w. j. Wilcox, partner of
w. A. Olmstead.
The building was six stories high,
had frontage of SO feet on Wabash
avenue and extended back 100 feet to
an alley. 1t was OF what is known as
mill construction, had two elevator
shafts, one in front and one in the
rear, and reaching from the third story
to the roof was light shaft, which
gave the flames every chance, and il
was because of this shaft that the
fire spread with such awful rapidity.
The building was occupied by num-
Der of concerns, some of them en-
ploying large numbers of people. 1t
is estimated that 400 people were at
work in the building when the fire was
discovered.
The origin of the FIRE is in dispute.
By. some it is said to have been caused
by an explosion of collodine in the
wall paper warerooms Of Alfred Pests,
on the third floor, and by others to
have been the result Of an explosion
among some Photographic chemicals
in the Photographic supply house Of
Sweet, Wallach & Co., on the sixth
floor. Employees of both concerns de-
ny that there was any explosion in
their vicinity.

MRS. THURSTON DEAD.

Wife Of Nebraska Senator Expires Mt
saGua La Grande. Cuba
The state department received notice
Tuesday from Consul General Lee at
Havana OF the death Of Mrs. Thurston,
wife Of Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska.
Senator and Mrs. Thurston were
members Of a congressional party
which left Fort Monroe March 2, for .
trip to Cuba in the yacht Anita.
: The Anita first touched Cuba at
Havana, and afterwards went on to
Matanzas and Sagua La Grsnde. The
brief announcement Of Mrs. Thurs
tons death was quite unsatisfactory to
her many acquaintance in Washing
ton, and every effort was made to Sc
cure details, ss the demise was most
unexpected. Mrs. Thurston was in
excellent health when she left the
capital.

MONTGOMERY Is WITHDRAWN,
But the Change Was Not Made In Answer
to Spanish Protest.

But the Change Was Not Made In Answer
to spanish Protest.
A Washington special of Wednes.
day says: Spain has protested against
our naval display in Cuban waters and
has asked what our preparations mean
The protest was the outcome of the
first official visit OF Senior Bernardo to
the state department since his recep.
ton there.
Assistant Secretary OF State Day de-
clined to give definite response to
the Spaniard regarding the continued
preparation Of war vessels in Cuban
waters, but in reply to the question as
to why we were buying war ships in
foreign waters he is reported as say
ing:
1--WE are purchasing war vessels In foreign
waters to take the place Of the battleship
that was lost In foreign waters"
No one believes at the capital for q
moment that Spain's demand that we
withdraw our ships from Havana will
be met. 1t has become evident that
the prediction made by Quesada that
Spain would try to delay matters fur
Their by more promises of autonomy,
were we'll founded. There is now
hardly. any doubt that the new minis
ter's special mission to this country is
to secure our cooperation in o new
autonomy scheme for Cuba.
The Spanish minister's request for
the United States to withdraw our
ships from Havana is based on this
plan. The United States is informed
that the presence of battleships in
Cuban ports is hindrance to Spain
in carrying out her program of per-
fecting autonomy. The official replies
OF this country to these requests have
not yet been made, but it is not
thought that they will be such as to
propitiate Spain or further ieopardize
the interests Of the Cuban insurgents.
The Fern sailed for Havana from
Key West Wednesday afternoon. She
goes to relieve the Montgomery as a
home for the officers engaged in super
vising the wrecking operations in
Havana harbor. 1t may be stated un-
equivocally that the Montgomery is
not withdrawn owing to auy sugges-
ton from Spanish sources that her
presence is not desired.
It was the announced intention Of
Secretary Long when the cruiser was
sent to Havana to keep her there only
so long as the Fern should be engaged
in the work Of distributing relief
among the sufferers Of eastern Cuba.
This task having been performed and
owing to the return Of the court of in
quiry from Havana, there being fewer
persons to accommodate, the Fern.
which is much better equipped than
the Montgomery to assist in the wreck
ing operations, is returned to her posi-.
ton,

editor Of the East Point Plowboy, pub.
lished ct East Point, Ga, was shot 10

by @. Q. Trimble, of East Point, o
deputy sheriff under Sheriff helms.
He was later employed by Mr.. Reuben
Arnold to guard some property that
had belonged to Mr.. Conley and which
is now in litigation. This property is
said to have oaused the tragedy.
The people Of East Point ask for An
immediate investigation OF the killing.
They intimate strongly that Cox is not
alone responsible for the killing and
say that 1t was an assassination
prompted by . desire for vengeance.
They say that other men may have
been interested in the crime.
Only two men saw the killing. They
were enemies OF the dead man, IL 10
said. Deputy Sheriff Trimble was one
and ex-Marshal Jim Mcconnell was
the other who witnessed the tragedy.
