 South's Position
MR. LlNNEY RECEIVED A REBUKE

Washington February 1.-Representa tive Joseph Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who at tained great prominence in the Fiftyfourth congress by his earnest championship of free silver, assaIled his democratic col leagues today for their opposition to expan- galleries roar.
 MT. Sibley has recanted his views of free silver and is now generally out of line with his colleagues on the democratic side. He insisted today that expansion was an or iginal democratic doctrine promulgated by Jefferson and adhered to by Madison, Jack son, Tyler, Polk and Buchanan. In e.o- quent language he pictured the destiny of the United States carrying the arts of peace and the story of the cross to the Temotest corners of the globe. MT. Sibley received an impressive demonstration when he closed. The remainder of the debate today was un.nteresting It touched the ques- tfons of mediation in the Transvaal war in Africa, lynchings in the south and jury law in Hawaii.
 At the opening of the session the speaker decided the question submitted to him a few days ago relative to reference of the esti- mates of the Rock Island Qlhnoi9 and Springfield (MassachuseH.ts) armories in favor of the military affairs committee so far as appropriations for small arms are. concerned and in favor of the appropria- lions committee so far as the appropria- itions for fixtures for the armories are con- esrned.
 2 The conference report on the urgent de- nciency bill was adopted. It was only a ia dispute One of these--the appropriation for republic building at Kansas City-was agreed to, and the house still insisted upon disagreement to the appropriation of 5000 for observation of the eclipse of the sun next May, as $4000 had been given the Smithsonian institute for the same pur- pose.
 The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. Mir Shafroth, of Colorado, made speech, saying it is the duty of the United States to mediate between Great Britain and the Transvaal. He traced the history of the Transvaal Dutch from the migra- tons from Holland to show that England was invading the rights of the South Afri- can republic.

TWO LIVES LOST
 IN ST. LOUIS FIRE
Catholic School Destroyed and a Sister and Pupil
 Were Burned.

St. Louis, February 1.-Sster Sdanislaus, a teacher. and Mary Foley, pupil, lost their lives in a fire which destroyed the parochial school of St. Lawrence o'Tooie's Catholic parish, Fourteenth and O'Faidon streets, this afternoon. There were 200 pu- pils and twelve sisters in the school build ing a four-story structure, when the flames broke out.
 When the first alarm of fire was given the teachers hastily marched the pupils toward the exits.
 Sister Stanislous had got all those under her immediate care to the street except Mary Foley, and before either could escape they were overcome by smoke. A fireman found both bodies on the fourth floor and carried them to the ground.
 While awaiting the ambulance to take them to the city hospital the two sufferers died.
 The fire spread so rapidly that a general alarm was turned in, bringing every en- zine in the city to the scene and the flames were soon checked.
 The is supposed to have originated in the basement and to have been caused Joy an overheated furnace.
 The alarm of fire caused the widest alarm among the pupils. But for the cool ness of the sisters and the help of three priests the result of the panic might have been much worse.
 At 330 it was stated auchorstatively that all the teachers and pupils had been ac- counted for. This leaves She number of dead two.

GOVERNOR GOBEL
 MAY YET RECOVER.
Latest Reports Say There Is No Cause for Immediate
 Death.

Frankfort, ky, February 2-At 1 o'clock this morning Dr. Hume said that Gov ernor Goebel wdn probably live through the night He added, however, that there was possibility of uraemic poisoning and that it was possible for the governor to die in convulsion at almost any time.
 Frankfort Ky, February 1.-Goevrnor Goebel passed on the whole an unfavor- able day, although he was fairly comfort aole when night came on. He has half a dozen doctors around htm, and the reports CT his condition vary according to the last physician who leaves the room One doe tor Is confident that he will recover. and another generally allows hdm an hour or two before he breathes: his last, His strength is maintained to a great extent by injections.
 He has had several sinking spells. out of which he was brought with some difficulty. He seemed to rally less readily from each successive collapse, but held his own stead fly throughout the afternoon. His kidneys nave practically ceased their functions and slight symptoms of pneumonia have ap peared, but have not as yet become so seri- . ous as to cause alarm in themselves
 The doctors, as a whole, entertain no hopes of his recovery. At 9:3O tonight pr. Mccormick, the optimistic physician de- clared that in his opinion there was no req son why Governor Goebel should not re- cover. The traces of pneumonia which had appeared, he declared to be the usual oc- currence in cases of this kind. The most serious symptom was, he said, the refusal of the kidneys to work, and a consequent danger of blood poisoning.

CONSUL MACRUM DISCUSSED.
British Clergyman Says He Was Influ-
 enced by Kruger.

London, February 1.-Canon Farmer, who was forced to leave Pretoria with other British clergymen, has arrived in London. With reference to Charles b. Macrum, the former United States consul at Pretoria. Canon Farmer said to a representative of the Associated Press: MT. Macrum was one of the last men I saw before leaving. I told him he was taking the wrong side, and did not understand American feeling. His chief care seemed to be for his personal safety, and 1 think it was chiefly on that account he left in the midst of the crisis He is not a strong man, and President Kruger may have taken advantage of this But when l last saw MT. Macrum he was 8 patriotic and loyal American.
 "In regard to Blake's so-called volunteers they are like MT. Blake, mostly burghcrs, who would have been obliged to fight any way MT. Macrum told me there were 5,000 Americans in the Transvaal. most of whom the United States was glad to get rid of"
 Pretoria, Canon Farmer added, was pro- yisioned for two years.

London, February 2-4:S0 a. m.-The war office this evening completes the list of cas- ualties at Spion Kop by announcing the names of 215 missing men of various regi- ments, including 137 members of the Lam cashire Fusileers.

 Excluding these, ta1ere 10000 troops w-.o have not yet been in action, in addi- ton to those at sea.
