New Orleans, Nov. 9.-Bi1oxi, Miss,
situated on the Mississippi sound, 80
miles from New Orleans, was swept by
a terrific fire this morning which de-
stroyed upwards of 100 buildings and
rendered hundreds of people homeless.
Biloxi is a town of 1000 people and a
well known summer resort for Mississip-
pi andLouisiana people and a winter re-
sort for northern people.
It has a small fire department and
contains many frame buildings and the
fire simply burned until it had nothing
further to feed on. The fire started
shortly after midnight in a saloon near
the Louisville & Nashville depot and af-
ter destroying the depot swept through
to the beach, a distance OF several
squares.
No lives were lost, but many of the
poorer people lost all their possessions.
The Catholic church, school and con-
vent, two newspaper offices and several
fine brick stores were among the build
ings destroyed. The total loss is esti-
mated at 100000 with $3.50 OF insur-

pRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Fort Scott Citizen Found Uncon-
scious Minus 800.

Fort Scott, Nov. 9.-One Of the most
remarkable cases of highway robbery by
foot-pads that has ever been called to
the attention of the police OF Fort Scott
is that reported by d. c. Bonesteel, a
former street car motorneer, living at
1872 Holbrook street. He was found un-
conscious near Clark and Seventh streets
last evening about s o'clock with Sc
we're bruise on the back Of his head and
minus $100 which had been taken from
one Of his pockets. His consciousness
returned this morning and he tells
most unusual story of his experience.
Mr.. Bonesteel met Mart Miller, coun-
ty Observation-Disclosures, on the street
about o'clock last evening and Mr.
Miller insisted that he go to supper with
him at the fremont. After leaving the
fremont Mr.. Bonesteel started home
about z o'clock and passing the Hub sa-
loon, he stopped In to get q glass or
beer. 1t was the second he had drank
in the afternoon. While he was drinking
the beer at the bar he suddenly lost con-
seriousness, he says, and he knew moth
ing more until he "came to- at his home
this morning. The barroom was well
filed with people, Mr.. Bonesteel says, at
the time, and they were talking and
making some noise, but he paid no at
tention to who they were and spoke to
none of them. He had taken the second
sip from the glass and put it down on
the counter, when his mind became a
blank.

GOING TO CUBA.
Secretary Root VIII Sail With
His Son on Saturday.

New York. Nov. s.-Secretary Root
is going to Cuba for his health, says
special to the Tribune from Washing
ton More than this he has not con-
hded to his closest official associates.
In a general way, however, they know
that he will take the Ward line steamer
from New York on Saturday, and land
ing at Havana will cross Cuba to Bata-
bano, where, accompanied by his son,
he will go aboard a steam yacht for a
fishing cruise, probably in the vicinity
of the Isle of Pines, which has enjoyed
some repute for healthfulness. The
yacht is presumably one of the naval
auxiliaries purchased last year for the
Cuban customs service, but not found
useful for that purpose.
Although any political object that the
secretary Of war could have In visiting
Cuba at the present time when the con-
stitutional convention of the islanders
has just assembled is too obscure for
the war department officials to solve,
they are at a loss to understand why a
man in Secretary Roots state of health
should risk the Cuban climate at this
time of the year, when malar1al influ-
enceS are at their height.
In his rundown condition it is thought
that very important matters must be
at the bottom of his choosing to expose
himself to the danger of the yellow fever
which is prevalent in eastern Cuba

distinction of belonging to race SO
important that it came to this country

81, 900 when we came here. And the poor
white man was not worth 80 cents Even
such men as our distinguished and illus
triouS chairman would not have brought
SO cents at that time"
Mr.. Washington said he brought
message of sympathy and eongratula-
tion from the negro race in the south
to General Howard. Continuing, he
said:
ssToo often it is our custom to curse
men while they live and to praise only
when they are dead. The name of Gen

The occasion is too great, too sacred for

General Howard thanked his friends
and referred to the need of a better ed

that we planted our schools in cities and
neglected the mountains From our
