PROVED A FIRE TRAP
Two Women Killed and Twenty In.
 jured In Fire in Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., March 21.- Compa1a- tiveiy insignificant in the material de-
 struction, but appalling in it's harvest
 of death and suffering, was the fire that partially destroyed the Patterson
 block at Seventeenth and Douglass streets this afternoon Two of the vic tims have already passed away, one more is not expected to live and about twenty others are suffering from broken limbs and burned and lacerated flesh.
 The killed are: Mrs. Thomas Tayler and Mrs. Anna Schammel. Marguerite Holt may die.
 The blaze started from a gasoline stove explosion in a room in the rear Of the third floor of the building and next to the elevator shaft. It was not discovered until it had spread to the adjoining apartments and the entile floor was filled with smoke and flame About twenty members of the Womens S Lodge of Maeabees were attending committee meeting in the waiting room in the front of the building on the same floor. They were unconscious of danger until the janitor threw open the door and told them to get out be- fore the flames cut them off The warn ing came too late.
 The fire swept through the door and down the single stairway. These nearest the door fled through the blind ing smoke and reached the street with hands and face burned and blistered. The rest faced a solid wall of flames. They rushed panic stricken to the win dows, while the fire was scarcely a foot behind them
 In another instant the spectators were mortified to see one after another spring from the windows and fall heavily to the pavement Not one arose. They lay in an inert and ap- parently lifeless heap until carried into the office of physician across the street. Most of them were bleeding from severe cuts and bruises and all were burned until their torn and blackened skin hung in shreds. The most severely injured were taken to the Clarkson hospital and the dead were removed to the morgue.
 Aside from the fatalities and the in iuries to persons, the fire was not serious one, the damage being $5O,OOO. |

White Plains, N. Y, March 21.-The
 divorce suit of Corinne Knickerbocker 1 against her husband, William G. Knickerbocker, cashier of the Western

 brother=in-law, Ralph G. Knicker- booker, and her 19-year-old daughter, Hattie, were walking across the court house lawn preparatory-to-e entering the court a man named Cornell, who is a witness for the defendant, ran up be- hind Charles c. Knickerbocker and gave him heavy blow on the the back. As Knickerbocker turned around to face his assailant, Cornell threw handful of cayenne pepper in Knickerbocker's face. At the same time companion of Cornell attempted to seize the child The mother screamed and lawyers and others who were entering the court house crowded around the mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Knickerbocker had cleared his eyes and had closed in with Cor nell. There was a fist fight, which was stopped by court officer John c. Yer planck. Cornell and his companion hurried out of the way.
 When the case was brought up in court Mrs. Knickerbocker named former servant of the family, Mary De Garmo, as correspondent Ralph c. Knickerbocker, who is purser on one of the steamers of the Western Transit company, is named by the defendant as having been intimate with his wife. Justice Hirschberg reserved decision.

Santiago de Cuba, March 21.-7 p. m.

NEW ARMY REGISTER
Some Of the Features Of inc rOrfh-
 coming Publication.

! Washington, March 21.-The new
 army register will be published in a
 few days Some advance copies have been received at the war department,
 where it has been looked over with considerable interest. This register, while for the regular army entirely, will have a list of the general and staff officers appointed during the
 Spanish war. together with their rec
 orGs during the war. It will not show
 any previous records, such as that of
 General Wheeler, was a graduate at
 West Point, and that he and General
 Lee and others of the late cOnfeder- acy served in the confederate army.
 An interesting feature of the reg
 istcr is that the volunteer service of the regular officers is given. and there is jump from 1866 and 1867 to 1898 in that service, an elapse of more than thirty years.
 Another interesting point is that several men in the regular army de- clined volunteer appointments. At the head of the list of these is Adjutant General Corbin. The register shows that on August 13, 1898, he was ap- pointed major general of volunteers, and declined. Major John A. John ston, adjutant generals department, declined a commission of lieutenant colonel. Captain William D. Craighill, engineer corps, declined a majors Major Charles Shaler, ordnance corps. declined a commission of lieutenant colonel. Lieutenant Golden L. H. Ruggles, ordnance corps, declined majors commission, and Lieutenant Walter E. Short, Tenth cavalry declined a captains com mission as assistant adjutant general. There are other instances, but these are found in a hurried examination of the register. which is an extensive 1 volume

county, one of the widest counties in the mountains of Kentucky.
 For several weeks trouble has been brewing, and last week John Adkins, the father of the Adkins boys, who have been involved in the feud, was dangerously shot by one of the Hen sleys. This was the signal for gen eral arming on the part of the beliger- ent families, and every male member of them equipped himself with rihe.
 The first engagement took place in Lawrence county today when the six men met. Fifty shots were fired when the combatants were so far apart that nearly all the balls went wide of the mark. William Adkins, one of the leaders in the feud, was shot through the groin and fatally wounded. One of the Hensleys was slightly injured. Old man Adkins and his son will die.

The re- organization law will remain in force for two years unless sooner revised by congress; but, as congress will not meet until after the date of Shafter's s compulsory retirement, no legislation can be secured to permit him to re- tire as a major general of the regular army. Other general officers whose war services will be recognized by re- appointment under the reorganization law will retire also in the rank they time limit of the present establishment expires.

NEW COALING PORT
Departure of inc Aborenda
 for Samoa.
Commander riley of inc Navy 10 Sail in a Few Days With Supplies and Materials for the New Sfa- lion at PSgopsgO.

Washington, March 21.-Commander
 Tilley of the Abarenda has come tc
 Washington to consult with the au-
 thorities of the navy department prio,
 to starting for Samoa His ship is
 lying at Norfolk, and arrangements
 for her departure have all been com
 pleted, so that she should sail in the
 course of few days. Commander Til
 ley goes to open the coaling station at Pagopago which the United States
 holds under the terms of a special | treaty with the Samoan government. The Abarenda carries on this trip a | little over 900 tons of coal and about | 1,500 tons of steel building material. The latter is intended for the con- struction of a wharf and coal sheds which are to be built by private con- tract The contractors, a San Fran cisco firm, succeeded in convincing the government that much time would be saved by allowing them to ship the material on the Abarenda, due allow ance being made for the cost of trans portation. As soon as the ship arrives at Pagopago the work of erecting the station will be pushed with rapidity The United States government has possessed for some years the neces- sary lands commanding the. mouth of the harbor, thanks to the watchfulness of judge advocate General Lemly, who has lost no opportunity to acquire de- sirable tracts from time to time as ap- port4nity offered. M
 When the station is established Com mander Tilley will assume charge of it as the first commandant. The office is not an a1luring one, for the climate at Tuituila is more trying than that at Upola, where Apia is situated, owing to the excessive rainfall. But the officer has consented to undertake this task in view of the importance of the pro jected station to future interests of the United States in that portion of the world.
 The Abarenda will not return inn mediately to the United States l. though collier purchased from the merchant marine, she has been thor oughly oVerhauled and equipped with a good battery of rapid-ire guns, so that she will be really an efficient cruiser with large radius of action. The navy department has given orders that after landing her stores at Pagopago she take permanent station in the Samoan islands to look after the in terests of the United States. The treaty obligation that a United States war ship should from time to time per form tour service in these waters has been almost entirely overlooked in late years, and these orders to the Abar- enda are an indication that the obliga- tion will no longer be neglected.

CONFLICTING EMOTIONS.
Washington Much Stirred by the Re-
 port of MT. Sherman's Death.

[ Washington, March 21.-Seldom has official Washington been more stirred by conflicting emotions than it was today by Lne announcement first ol
 the death of Hon. John Sherman anG
 then by the contradiction of the report
 which came few hours later. The
 first report which came from New York
 was received at three o'clock in the
 afternoon and was circulated in the
 departments just before they closed
 for the day.
 The announcement seemed to follow naturally the other cablegrams of the day stating that the venerable states mans condition had grown worse since yesterday, and there was universal ex- pression of regret and in many cases, The contradiction of the first report did not arrive until 8:30 o'clock It came to the Associated Press in the shape of a positive statement from Santiago, made in the knowledge that the report of Mr. Sherman's death had been circulated.
 The dispatch was immediately given as wide circulation in the city as pos- sible for it to receive at that hour Secretary Hay was placed in possession of copy of the dispatch, as were also MT. Sherman's family. There were heartfelt rejoicings and thanksgiving on the part of those who had assem- bled at the house, when they realized it was true that the invalid was better and might be restored to them.
 Mrs. Sherman is the one person of the senator's household who suffered neither from the first announcement nor rejoiced over the second. She was not informed of either Mrs Sherman has been quite ill from stroke of paralysis for several months and had not been informed of the senator's ill., ness, for fear of it's effect upon her. It was felt when the news of his death came today that it would have to be broken to her, but all hesitated to make the announcement. It was ulti- mately decided to postpone the sad duty until tomorrow. She was thus saved the shock.
 The Santiago dispatch was tele- phoned to the residence of General Miles. Miss Miles expressed in the name of the family, to whom she re- peated the dispatch as it was received, her gratitude and said that from the first the family had been unable to credit the truth of the report of MT. 5herman's death. They felt certain that some word would be cabled to the family. but on the contrary they had not received any message
