to Begin ON Friday.

NEW YORK, Feb. Activity is prom
ised in investigating the poisoning of Mrs.
Adams. Acting on the orders of District
Attorney Gardiner, Coroner Hart to-day
designated Friday as the day on which he
would begin the inquest. The coroner had
previously fixed Feb. for the inquest, urg-
ing that the coroner's court would be oc-
cupied right up to that date in hearing other
cases, but the district attorney, in a sharp
letter to the coroner to-day, pointed out
that there had been unwarrantable delay,
and that the inquiry must proceed with all
dispatch. There is now a rounding up of
all witnesses in the case and by Friday all
those who have had any connection what
ever with the investigation, as made during
the past four weeks, will either be required
to furnish proper guarantee that they will
be ready to go on the witness stand or will
be detained in charge of a police official.
Chief of Detectives McClusky declared
this afternoon that a new and important
clew had been discovered in the poison mys-
terry, and before the week is out disclosures
will be made that will cause a great sur
prise He refused to make any further
definite statement in the matter. Two
members of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club, not yet mentioned as suspects are
attracting the attention of the detectives.

notice 1t is said that in the case of each
man there exists a motive that might lead
him to attempt the life of Harry Cornish.
The question Of motive in the Barnet case
is receiving especial attention at present
from Captain McClusky. In this he thinks
may be found the key to the whole mystery.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Feb. 1.-The
following advices have just been received
here from Apia, Samoan island, under date
of Jan "A, from the correspondent of the
Associated Press:
There has been a collision of authority
between Chief Justice William l.. Cham
bers, Of the Supreme Court and Dr. johann
nes Raffel the German president of the
municipality of Apia. Herr Grosmuhl,
German resident of Apa, who was ar
rested for smashing the windows of the
Supreme Court chamber, was sentenced by
the chief justice to imprisonment and to
pay a fine. DR.. Raffel instructed the police
authorities to release Herr Grosmuhl, whose
fine was subsequently fixed at $1,000. The
German consul, Herr Rose, thereupon wrote
to the American consul, Lloyd w. Osborne,
and the British consul e. B. S. MaXse, pro-
testing that the action of the chief justice
in fining Herr Grosmuhl was an infringe
ment of German consular rights. Messrs.
Osborne and Maxse jointly replied in their
official capacity that, the proper tribunal
having dealt with the matter, the consuls
could not interfere. More than this, they
declined to have further intercourse with
the German consul or the German munic-
ipal president, except in writing, or to at
tend meetings, except TO consider Ine dclS
of the municipal council of Apia, unless an
apology, with full retraction, were offered
for the behavior towards Chief Justice
Chambers. At the same time the Supreme
Court summoned DR.. Raffel for contempt

There has been no further general fignt-
ing between the partisans of the tribal
chieftains since the last advices were for

followers was. routed in the bush by Malie-
toans. 1t is expected, however, that fight

EARLY THIS MORNING.
Half a Block of Fine Buildings in
Ruins, One Fireman Missing and
Others Badly Hurt.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 2-Half block OF
fine buildings IN the heart of the business
portion of the town have been destroyed by
fire last night and this morning, and the
department has not yet got the flames un-
der control. The fire is thought to have
started in the basement of the Dunlap
building, occupied by the Chicago Bankrupt
Clothing Company. 1t swept up the eleva-
tor shaft and soon the whole building was
ablaze. The audience in the High-street
Theater, which is across an alley from the
burning block, was dismissed in a hurry,
and this crowd was soon sweled to enor-
nous proportions by mob of excited people
from all parts of the city. The fire soon
communicated to the Jones block, on the
left, and the Soulder & Bright building on
the right and these. with the wholesale
millinery store of Soulder & Bright and the
clothing store of d. S. Ambach were as
complete wrecks as the Dunlap building A

goods and notions, from the others, but this
was no barrier, and at 1 o'clock Thursday
morning the fire had eaten its way through
and was burning tiercely in the upper sto-
ries.
At 1850 o'clock last night with scarcely
any warning, the front and rear walls of
the Dunlap building, rent asunder by an
explosion fell, one on High street and the
other completely filling the alley in the
rear with bricks and debris Fortunately the
police had kept the street fairly clear or
the loss of life would have been enormous.
AS it was a number of firemen were caught
while flying from the crumbling walls.
Whitley Davis is missing and while his COM
rades and the police are making every ef-
fort to discover his remains they have not
yet been found. Captain Jack Welsh is badly
bruised about the legs and body, seriously
injured Otis v. Kilbourne is bruised about
head and body. John Donahue is hurt in
ternally and has bad scalp wound. Charles
Connors is badly injured. Bob Kerrines is
also badly bruised. Al Reeves, Pat Sullivan
and VIM. Swift are also more or less in
jureh. Miss Carrie johnson, young lady,
was knocked down and run over by a hose
reel Her right leg was broken, the bone
crushed out of all shape. She has numerous
other injuries and is in a precarous condi-
ton. Scores of other people were slightly
injured when the walls gave way by the
flying debris. The State Journal places the
entire loss at $750OOO.
The losses, roughly estimated, are as fol-
lows: Green, Joyce & Co, building, $1500O0;

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Rapid Progress Made in the House
Mr.. Hepburn's Remarks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The House en-
tered on consideration of the river and har-
Dor bill to-day and made rapid progress
Fifty of the eighty-three pages of the bill
had been completed when the House ad-
journed The bill appropriates directly
about $l2, 800 900, and authorizes contracts to
the extent of S,OO00 900 additional. The gen.
eral debate was unusually brief. It's fea-
lures was speech in opposition to the bill
by Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, who has fought
every river and harbor bill for the last six
years. He said he knew his opposition
would avail nothing, as the votes for its
passage had been arranged for by the ap-
propriations in the bill. He attacked par
ticularIy the Mississippi river improvement,
which was ably defended by Mr.. Catchlngs,
of Mississippi. Practically the only amend
ment adopted to-day was one striking out
an appropriation of $250,OO0 for channel
frcm Galveston to Texas City, Tex, which
was opposed by Mr.. Hawley, of Texas, be-
cause the War Department had made no re-
port on the feasibility of the project.
During the debate Mr.. Hepburn said he
knew it was useless for him to oppose the
bill. The votes to pass it had been ar
ranged and the symmetry" the gentleman
from Ohio had spoken of was the distribu-
tion which brought to this measure the sup
port necessary to make it a success.

DELAGoA BAY DISPUTE.
Decision of ArbitratOrs Will Probably
BE Announced in June.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Berne correspond
ent of the Pail Mall Gazette telegraphs that
the decision of the arbitrators in the Della
goa bay dispute may be expected not later
than June. 1t is added that the United
States threatens, in the event of further
unreasonable delay. to make grave repre-
sentations to the federal council, which ap-
pointed the arbitrators, and that Great Brit
ain will join in these representations.
The interest of the United States in the
Deagoa Bay Railroad arbitration is due to
the fact that the interests of the late Col.
McNIurdo are involved in it. In the course
of the negotiations between Great Britain
and Portugal as to the action of the latter
power in East Africa the claims of the
Delagoa Bay Railroad Company for COM
pensation for the seizure of the line by
Portugal on June 20, 1889, were brought for
ward Eventually it was decided that the
Swiss federal council should appoint arbi-
traitors in the matter ana the case has been
before them ever since. The delay is greatly
due to the fact that the government of Por-
tugal presented a counter rejoinder, to
which the company sent reply, and Portu-
gal then made a rejoinder. The McMurdo
claim, it has been asserted, would be set
tied with an award of a sum under $10,000,O0O

More Picturesque than Useful.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1-Assistant Sec
retary Allen has returned to Washington
from a flying trip of inspection to the navy
yards and stations in Cuba and Porto Rico,
the control of which passed to the United
States government with the end of Spanish
sovereignty. Mr.. Allen made his trip on the
Brooklyn, and has embodied the results of
his observations in a report to Secretary
Long. In brief, he finds that the stations
are more picturesque than useful to the
United States. They are of ancient date,
and their equipment is of little value for
modern naval purposes. The dry dock at
Havana yet remains in the possession of the
Spanish government, but it Is expected that
the offer of the United States government
to purchase it will be accepted.

AS matter of fact, he added. gambling in
the army had decreased, and the expediency
was being considered of compelling officers
to inform the authorities in the event of
their receiving offers of money which We're
often of a shameless character, and even
emanating from abroad, which We're made
in view OF inducing them to gamble. The
authorities also intended that the military
cadets should be seriously enlightened re-
garding the dangers besetting them.
