expedition through Mariquina valley,

hold throughout the war. The valley
has several times been invaded but
never held by the Americans. General
Geronimo was supposed to have there
the largest organized force north of
Manila and General Otis wished to gar
rison Mariquina.
San Mateo was attacked at o'clock
and three hours fight ensued. This
resulted in but few casualties on the
American side, apart from the death of
General Lawton. but the attack was
difficult. because of the natural defen-
ses of the town.
General Lawton was walking along
the firing line within 300 yards of a
small sharpshooters trench, conspicu.

wore, and a light yellow rain coat.

QUAY WILL NOT BE SEATED.

Forecast of Senate Gives Majority Against
Recognizing His Certificate.
Washington, Dec. ga careful
canvass has convinced the anti-Quay
contingent that at Lease eight Repub-
lican senators will oppose him on
strictly legal and constitutional
grounds. The arguments made
against Quay are stronger and more
conclusive than those ever presented
against claimant for seat in the
senate, on the basis of governors APP
pointment.
The Corbett case has presented some
of the features that marked the Quay
case, but investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding both gubernato-
rial appointments has developed some
important points of dissimilarity, on
which Senator Burrows will dwell in
his argument against the seating of
Quay. which he will make when the
committee on privileges and elections
reports to the senate.
1t now seems probable that the COM
mittee will divide on strict party lines,
with the exception of Senator Bur-
rows vote, which will result in an I'M
favorable report. which will be antag-
onized by the Republican majority. If
the Democrats stand solely together
and the anti-Quay Republicans have
not overestimated their strength, Mr..
Quay S certificate from the governor of
Pennsylvania will be rejected by a
comfortable majority

stairs descending from the dressing.
room.
The girls in the dressing-room had
nearly completed their costumes when
one of them brushed against the gas
jet, but which child it was will never
be known. A touch of the flame was
sufficient, and in an instant her dress
of cotton and light cloth was in a
blaze. She screamed and ran out OF
the room, spreading the fire to the
others as she ran.
One girl, with her dress in blaze,
jumped out of a small window into the
stairs leading to the stage and ran
down the stairs. A flaming torch she
was, as she almost fell down the stairs
and rushed into the groups of children
standing in the wings. They were all
clad, like her, in fancy costumes OF
cotton, lace and silk, and the fire
spread with incredible rapidity from
one to the other.
There were fourteen children in the
cast of the Christmas entertainment
and few escaped. 1t was all over in
ten minutes, and in that time -four
persisted, seven more were fatally
burned, and others more or less severe
ly injured.

EVANGELIST MOODY DEAD.
lie Succumbed to Heart Failure Aftor
Months Illness.

Months Illness.
East Mortified, Mass, Dec. ca
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist, whose
fame was worldwide, died at his home
here at noon. His family were gath.
cred at his bedside, and the dying
mans last moments were spent 10 com
forting them. Early in the day Mr..
Moody realized the end was not far off
and talked with his family at intervals,
being conscious to the last except for
a few fainting spells.
AS the MONDAY hour drew near the
watchers at the bedside noted the APP
proach of death. Several times his
lips moved as in prayer, but the artcu-
lation was so faint that the words
could moi be heard. just as death
came, Mr. Moody awoke as if from
slumber, and said, with much joyous
ness: Il see earth receding; heaven is
opening; God is calling me-" and a
moment later he expired.
The death of Mr.. Moody was not un-
expected although his temporary re-
covery from illness was hoped for by
his relatives and friends. The cause
of his death was general breakdown
of his health, due to overworl. His
constitution was that of an exceedingly
strong man, but his uutiring labors
had gradually undermined his vitality
until that most delicate of organs, the
heart, showed signs of weakness.

TOWN SLIDES MIRO SEA.
Strange Fate Overtakes Amala, Italy
Many Lives Lost.

Rome, Dec. GA terrible disaster
took place yesterday at Amalf, the
popular tourist resort on the Gulf OF
Salerno. About 2 o'clock an enormous
rock, upon which stood the Capuccini
hotel, slid bodily into the sea with a
deafening roar and without a moments
warning, carrying with it the hotel,
the old Capuchin monastery below, the
Hotel Santa Calerina and several villas.
Many people were buried in the
debris, which crushed four vessels to
the bottom of the sea, destroying their
crews. The mass of earth which slipped
was about $4,000 cubic yards. The
population is in state of terror, fear.
ing fresh calamities Troops have ar
rived upon the scene and have begun
rescue work.
1t is believed that the loss of life is
heavy, including a number of monks
and the occupants of the hotel. As yet
it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number.
Amalti is small but lively town OF
1000 inhabitants, situated at the en-
trance of deep ravine, surrounded by
imposing mountains and rocks of the
most picturesqe forms.
The Capuchin monastery was found
ed in 1912 by Cardinal Pietro Capnano
for the Cisterians, but came into pos.
session of the Capuchins in 1888. The
building, which stood in the hollow oil

sea to height of 23O feet, contained
