Trains DELAYED.

New York. Feb. 12.-Last nights storm
was characterized more by the biting
wind that accompanied it than by the fall
of snow. Although the snowfall was not
great, it served to delay many incoming
trains, and consequently the mails.
The North and East rivers were block
AIDED with ice, the former being frozen
solidly across at the upper part of the
city. The Harlem river is frozen solid
north from the Harlem bridge.
At late hour to-day none of the big
liners had reached their docks. A strong
north wind was blowing during the day,
and this may have the effect of keeping
some off their course The list of those
due includes the Cunarder l. >ruria, the AL
satia. Anchoria, Paris La Bretagne and
Spaarndam.

of the Chinese new year in this city re-
suited in a tragedy to-day. While fire.
works were being exploded from a window
of the employment agency of Jue Bun, at

ers inside the house were accidentally
lighted and the room was soon in flames.
number of Chinese were smoking opium
in the place at the time. Five who We're
rescued told of others remaining in a stu
ror and a vigorous search by the police
resulted in the discovery of the drugged
Mongolians.
Quong Duck was burned to death and
his charred remains Were taken to the
morgue. Tu Now, Jim Shu and Chan Wo
were all badly burned and their recovery
is doubtful. Very listle damage was
done to the building.

Yankton, S. D., Feb. ia most hor-

The cottage was erected of stone and
granite walls, with wooden interiors,
and was intended for laundry purposes
Owing to the crowded condition of the
main building, 40 of the women patients
were placed here, with the laundry in
the basement
The fire originated in the dry room
Of the laundry. Here there was a coil
of steam pipes. and the theory Is that
either fine particles similar to lint set
tied on the pipes and ignited or that
clothes, which were thickly hung close
by. dropped on the pipes and We're fired
The fighting of the fire was greatly
hindered by the loss of power. The
only source of water was an artesian
we'll 400 feet distant, the pipes for
pumping which ran through the cot
tage. The intense heat soon caused
these pipes to burst, thus leaving the
tiremen without power and dependent
entirely upon the direct pressure from
the tank. But two streams of water
could be thrown on the building and
these did but little good.
Fifty-two persons were in the build
ing. 40 patients and 12 attendants. The
structure was three stories and an at
tic high and had two entrances. There
was one stairway from the second and
third floors which led into the main
halls, thus giving but one egress for
those above the first floor. Patients
and attendants fed with terror, great
confusion resulting especially among
those on the upper floors. Many heart
mates, clad only in their night clothes
and barefooted, rushed down the mar
row flight of stairs and finally out into
the snow. The temperature was % de-
srees below zero, and further loss of
life from freezing was prevented alone
by prompt work of the attendants from
the main buildings. The attendants
escaped, as did the others saved, with
none of their personal effects, many
losing all they possessed. Portions of
charred remains can be seen in the de-
bris at the bottom of the basement,
which appear to be near the northeast
wall. The work of removing the re-
mains and debris will begin in the
morning. The four walls of stone still
stand, black anG grim, and will make
the work of removal dangerous, as a
total collapse is liable to occur without
moments warning. An inquest is
now in progress. 1t is not thought that
blame will be attached to anyone for
carelessness
The institution was destroyed by fire
in 1882, when six lives We're lost The
pecuniary loss at today's fire is $4,000
uninsured.

GUARANTEE OF PEACE.
England Welcomes the Rapprochement
Between Germany and America.

London, Feb 13.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily News says.
What Russia is to- Germany on the
political chessboard, the United States
are to her in the commercio- political
game. Hence, the effusive amiability
of Saturdays debate, which, while it
is certainly dictated by Germany's in
terests, is also partly prompted by con-
siderations arising out of the Anglo
American approchement. The United
States are to be shown that it is not
only England who is their friend"
The Times says editorially: "rhe
debate was a good omen for the estab-
lishment on a sound basis of the new
order of things brought into existence
by the overthrow of the imperial power
of Spain. A reconciliation of rap
prochement between Germany and the
United States would be heartily well
coined in England as an additional
guarantee of peace and progress
throughout the world"

Another Impending Contest For the
Montaus Millionaire's Money.
Omaha, Nov. ia long lost will
has come to light and with 1t the pros
pect that the immense estate of the
late Andred ]. Davis. the Montana
millionaire. will again burden the
Montana supreme court.
Andrew j. Davis was one of the
most conspicuous Of the wealthy men
of Montana, and when he died, on
March II, 1890, he left an estate val.
ued at from $5,000,00O to $1,000, 0OO
No will was to be found other than q
document executed in 1864, and aspir-
ing heirs Immediately plunged into
litigation that was drawn out into a
half dozen years.
During the trial of various cases
that grew out Of the contest affidavits
were filed to show that other and later
Wills than the one of 1864 had been
made, but none of them appeared. The
document that has now turned UP pur.
ports to have been executed some five
months prior to Davis death. 1t first
bequest Is 100000 to the city of Butte
for a public library, and the second is
q similar amount to my beloved
friend, Mary G.. Wilson, of Chicago"
Other requests are to relatives.
The story of the will has to do with
the alleged relations of a 7O-year-old
man and an exceptionally progresses
ing young woman. not yet 80 years of
age, placed in custody of the million

Wilson, 1t is stated. did not know Of

New York. Nov. 13.-Nothing more
interesting than acting as godfather to
the child Of the daughter of an old
friend of his occurred in the life Of Ad-
miral Dewey yesterday. The admiral
and his son George strolled over to the
elevated road and took q train for
South ferry. Few people recognized
them as they walked along the street,
and there were no such demonstrations
as occurred on Friday and Saturday
morning, which caused the admiral TO
announce that he would leave the city
unless the enthusiasm were controlled.
In the elevated train number Of
persons recognized the admiral and
his son and passed through the car
in which he sat. but did not appear
to annoy him. s.fs5
At South ferry the admiral and his
son took ferryboat for Tompkinsville.
Staten Island, and went at once to the
residence of Frederick Hartman, OF
st. George. Mrs. Hartman is daugh-
ter of an old friend Of the admiral,
and the baptism of her son, Frederick.
Jr., was made something of a social
event. The admiral left for New York
shortly after o'clock.
On the way. over, there were about
zoo people on the boat. and everyone
made rush for his part of the boat.
The admiral did not seem to like it,
and some one was thoughtful enough
to suggest that the admiral did not
like too close friendship and the
crowd seemed to take the cue. When
the boat reached her slip the people
rushed off ahead Of the admiral and
lined the passageway on both sides
as he and his son passed, but there
was no cheering

eminent ID taking q great interest In
the war In South Africa. Upon
the recommendation of the gen.
eral staff of the Japanese army, an
officer will be sent to the scene of
hostilities for the purpose of gaining
practical knowledge Of the strength
and tactics of the Boer army. This
move on the part of the Japanese, ac-
cording to the Kobe Chronicle, is In
dispenable for the reason that Japan
may he forced to rely upon the assist
ance of the British army at distant
date. The Russian minister in Seoul
has created considerable stir In the
diplomatic circles of Japan by making
demand to have the spheres Of in
tluence Of the respective powers In
Corea defined, and has made propo-
sition to this effect to the ministers
Of various powers, through Germany's
representative. Japan strongly OPP
poses the movement and 1t is claimed
in official circles that Russia has
evolved plan to counterfeit Japan's
influence in Corea.
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Daily Mail says:
An uneasy feeling regarding the re-
lations Of Russia and Japan is spread
ing here. There is no doubt that Japan
is practically allied with China, de-
spite the degradation which the en-
press dowager inflicted upon the Chi
nese ENJOYS to Japan on their recent
return. This was merely tactical
move, with view of appeasing Rus

A large Russian fleet intends win

remonstrance by Japan Is probable.

gress Of events. He recently declared

the Japanese army was in splendid con-
dition from the European point Of
view.
The North China Daily News says:
So greatly excited are the Chinese
of the north by rumors of an impend-
ing war between Russia and Japan
that many merchants, both Chinese
and Japanese, who are doing business
in New Chwang, Port Arthur and
Chefoo have sent their families to
Shanghai and elsewhere in the south
for safety.
1t Is believed Japan rather courts the
struggle, as she is now second only to
England In naval strength In the
far east, and for years has viewed the
encroachments of Russia with resent
ment and alarm.
