Representative Fess Confers With
President Mckinley.
The Westerner's Recent Trip to Eu-
rope for the Inspection of the Sen
The RattIecraft of America to Be
Made Second to None in the World.

Representative George Edmund Foss of
Chicago, who recently returned from Eu-
rope held a lengthy conference with the
President today. Mr.. Foss spent his entire
time while abroad in investigating the ma
val affairs of England, Germany. Italy, and
France. He is member of the House Ma
! val Committee and will. it is said, be made
its chairman when Congress assemblies.
He called to see Mr.. Mckinley by special
request, and will also hold conference
with the Secretary of the Navy.
Miss Foss stated to a Times reporter
that he will spend his entire time between
now and the assembling of Congress in
formulating legislation affecting the navy.
He predicted that at the next session of
Congress there will be much legislation af-
fecting the navy and that it is the Presi-
dents intention TO give the United States
the finest sea fighting force in the world.
Mr.. Foss said that in his talk with the
President he went over all the particulars
regarding the management of the navies of
| the European countries.
Mr.. Mckinley seemed particularly de-
sirous of learning the strength of the for
eign navies and of their armament. Mr.
Foss says that the greatest activity is be-
ing displayed by all European countries in
Strengthening their navies. The question
| of armament, he says. will be brought up
at the next Congress, and stone docks will
be authorized in place of the present
| structures. He described at length the
| great docks Of foreign countries. and said
! that they are absolutely needed in the
! United States.
| Mr.. Foss while in Germany was enter
tanned by the Emperor aboard the Royal
! yacht He denied the interview which
was cabled from Berlin to this country.
Mr.. Foss was asked what was the feeling
| abroad regarding the United States and
replied by saying: THE Emperor ex-
pressed the highest opinion OF America
and the desire that the relations between
| this country and Germany may become
more intimate. He had nothing but the
highest words of praise for Dewey and
expressed the opinion that the Admiral is
one of the greatest naval officers living.
| found the same feeling all through the
continent. The war with Spain has done
much to open the eyes of the European
countries regarding the United States as
| a fighting power.

The Tigers Victim.

To the Editor OF The Times:
| read in your issue of today that the proprie-
tors of the Wallace Circus left the city without
making any sign of solicitude about the fate of
the young man who terribly mangled by
their tiger; without making any arrangements
for his burial, and, in fact without any evidence
of sympathy or common humanity They went
away with their pockets full of Washington
money, but no thought or care for the young
life sacrificed. Apparently human life is very
cheap to them For few dollars they can get
another young man to work night and day in
their interests. and il he is killed by their wild
beasts, what does it matter? But / think that
if they cannot be held legally responsible for
such dangerous cages a vigorous kissing from
the inhabitants of their next stopping place
might have a good, moral effect and it is only
the press that can make their character known

TWO CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH
Their Parents Witness the Sight Tn
able to Help Them.


| BURLINGTON, n. j., Sept. s,-While
their father and mother stood helPlessly by,
TWO little children of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Diggs were yesterday burned to death in
the house in which they had been locked.
1 Their eldest child, a boy five years old,
saved his own life and that of his baby
sister by throwing the latter from the win
dow OF the deathtrap and then jumping to
safety. A defective fire alarm is blamed
for the tragedy. By the time the depart
ment arrived flames were shooting from
every window. The parents crazed by the
spectacle, had to be held to prevent them
dashing into the furnacelike place.
Diggs and his wife locked the house,
leaving the four children alone early this
morning and went to work at the residence
of James H. Barch. Soon after the place
was seen TO be on fire. An attempt was
made by neighbors to save the children, but
it was suicide to attempt to get into the
house without fire apparatus. While the
volunteer fire fighters were running about,
the boy seized the baby, four months old,
and threw ii out of the window. Then he
jumped himself Neither was hurt. An
alarm was sent in, but the tape registered
wrong in the engine house, and the depart
ment was sent in different directions ever
the town. When the place was finally
reached the Diggs house and also the next
Cne to it, owned and occupied by Robert
Dickson, were doomed.
To make matters worse, the two fire
plugs nearest the fire were found TO be
clogged. Diggs and his wife, who had ar
rived early on the scene, pleaded to be al
lowed to enter the house. and would not
listen to reason. Women spectators OF the
scene wept and became hysterical, and the
firemen were forced to drive them back.
When the house was in ruins the tiremen
searched the embers and found the two lit
tie bodies charred and burned beyond rec
ognition
