FIRE THIS MORNING.
A Small Blaze in The Star Composing
Room.

Fire was discovered at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning in the composing room of
The Star by an employe of the Pacific
Hardware company. He came down
early to his place of employment and
his attention was called to the fire by
the cracking sound probably the
breaking of the glass in a window from
the heat. He gave the alarm and eight
or nine men quickly gathering forced
open the front door of the building. ON
reaching the composing room they
found the buckets of water always
kept filled for emergencies of this kind
and with these practically put out the
flames. The fire department responded
promptly and the chemical completed
the extinguishing of the fire.
The fire was started by a live wire in
the composing room near one of the
linotype machines. 1t burned the case
and work bench where the linotype
tools, fixtures and supplies were kept,
the celluloid key CAPS of the keyboard
of one of the linotype machines besides

The water used in extinguishing the
fire went down through the floor t.

milton of the services of the citizens, the
Fire Department and the police.

THEY HELPED AGU|NALDO
CARNEGIE PAID $4,000 TO SEND
HOAR's SPEECH.
A Piece of Eloquence Which Precipl-
tated the Tagal Rebellion and Cost
Thousands of Lives.

WASHINGTON, January 15-John
Barrett. the former Minister of Siam,
says it was the anti-eXpansiOn speech
of Senator Hoar cabled by way of
Hongkong to Aguinaldo in Luzon, that
precipitated the Filipino instruction.
1t cost something over $4,000 cable tolls
to send Senator Hoar's message of
sympathy and comfort to the rebellous
Tagals. Andrew Carnegie paid the bill.
Carnegie's connection with the send
ing of Senator Hears speech to Agui-
naldo has been known by President
Mckinley and his friends for some
time. Until the whole question
was opened by Barrett's address
before the students at Lake For
est University near Chicago, last Sat
urday evening, the Administration had
preserved silence. Now however, that
no further reason appears why the
truth should not be known the state
ment that Carnegie paid the cable tolls
was made tonight by one of President
McKinley's closest friends, a member
of Congress who on other occasions
has been presumed to act as the Ad-
ministration's spokesman
Incidental to this disclosure it is in
timated that still further exposures
may be expected. Some time ago the
American forces captured a large part
of the official records of Aguinaldo's
government. These records are now on
their way to Washington. That they
contain matter duplicating other pro-
minent Americans besides Carnegie and
Senator Hoar is to be expected What
course the Administration will pursue
when these documents reach Washing
ton cannot be learned. 1t is probable,
however, that they will be included
with other matter pertaining to the
Philippine insurrection, which would be
sent to the Senate if one of the resolu.
tiOns requesting information from the
President is adopted

A BIG FLOCK OF BIRDS
Over Half of the Order Destined
For Portland, Oregon.

Hutchinson, Dec. ia strange sight
was seen on the road between Sylvia and
Hutchinson Saturday. A drove of 1,5oO
turkeys walking at a gait that would
keep an able bodied man busy to follow
marched serenely toward Hutchinson.
This great drove Of birds were collected
together in Stafford county to be deliv-
cred to Thomas Parker here
Poultry men have found that the turkey
is a good long distance traveller and that
taken in large droves can be driven as
well as cattle, and by driving a good sum
on freight may be avoided This sight
was an impressive one to the old settlers
Thirty years ago great herds of Texas
cattle were driven across this country
with very few fences to turn their course
Now every quarter section is some man S
home and it is one of the greatest pro-
duce countries of the world Train loads
of eggs and butter are shipped out Ine
poultry trade is enormous The drove OF
turkeys driven in gives a small idea of
the poultry trade. There was an order
waiting for 800 turkeys for Portland. Ore,
which will take over half the drove in one
shipment. The. plan of driving them
across country, however. is a novelty here
but it seems to be successful.

HUGHEY JENNINGS QUITS.
Will Leave Brooklyn Club to Coach
CornelPs Club.

New York. Dec. 1S.-Late last night
HUghey Jennings, the star first basenan
of the Brooklyns, announced that he had
decided to retire from professional base
ball for all time to come. He has ac-
cepted an offer to coach the baseball
team of Cornell university for 81, 500 per
annum and four years free tuition
Hughey has been preparing the club Of
this noted institution of learning for
their annual stunts, and is quite popu-
lar with all the students. He wants
to study law, and sees no better chance
than the present one to educate himself
in order to follow in the footsteps of
John Montgomery Ward, who has ac-
eumnlated a comfortable law practice
in Gotham.
This will be a severe blow to the
Brooklyn champions, as Jennings could
no doubt have been sold for a good
sized sum of money. The Philadelphia,
club once tried to buy his release, but
would not give up as much money as
Hanlon considered his star first base
man to be worth. In the event that
Jennings carries out his present inten-
tions the infield will present the hand
some face of Captain Joe Kelley at first
base next season and Jimmy Sheckard
the great sprinter, will be played regu-
larly in left field

When asked about the throw-down

THAT was just what I expected, and I

in the protective association and have
never taken much interest in its plans.
