MISSOURI, HOTEL FIRE.
rhs clifford House NJ Poplar Blur De-
Destroyed. Several Guests Lost Their
Lives and May Others Injured.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Nov. 13.-A fire
accompanied with a terrible fatality
occurred here Monday morning, re-
sulting in the total destruction of the
Clifford house, large three-story
frame building. The list of dead is as
follows: Heck Clark, Rebecca Owens,
Shelby De Hart and Curley Berry, all
of Poplar Bluff. Fatally injured:
Eta Hargrovem, Poplar Bluff; Wins
low Stowe, Tennessee. A dozen people
were more or less injured, but will
recover. The fire originated about
1890 o'clock Monday morning in the
rear of the hotel and in a few minutes
the mammoth building, which was
entirely of wood, was mass of flames.
There were in the neighborhood of IS
guests in the building and the porter,
the only person awake in the hotel,
was unable to give the alarm, the
smoke and flames driving him back.
The guests on the second and third
floors were caught like rats in a trap,
the fire prevented their escape by the
stairs and they leaped from the sec
ond and third-story windows. Many
Of the guests had hair-breadth escapes
and ran from the doomed building clad
only in their night clothes, losing
everything they possessed in the world.
Quite a number of guests were not
registered and their names are I'M
known. Every room in the house, As
in number, was occupied. The Clifford
house was one of the oldest hotels in
southeast Missouri, and it has been
considered death trap for a number
of years.

Each Commando VIII Defend the District
In which It Was Raised-Gen. French
Constantly Haraased.

Pretoria, Nov. 13.-Reports have been
received here showing that the Beers
have decided to have each commando
defend the district in which it was
raised. Each commando numbers
from 300 to 600 men. Some of the
commandants have established q reign
of terror among the more peaceful
burghers, and number of these are
coming in to the British camps for
protection. One tyurgher came in to
Greylingstad wieh his back badly
laeerated from sjamboking admin
istered to him by the commandant in
that district.
Details of Gen. French's march show
that the Beers in the districts he Wis
tied are not yet conquered. "A force
of about 1,4O0 burghers attacked him
every morning, sniping his men and
harassing his TANKS. Great credit is
due to Gen. French's force that they
got through. The Beers imprisoned
a captain belonging to the medical
corps and sent a message to Gen.
French that they would shoot unless
the general gave a pledge that he
would burn no more farms. Gen.
French replied that unless the prisoner
was brought to his camp the next
morning he would burn the town of
Bethel, and if the prisoner was shot
he would shoot ten Boer prisoners.
The doctor was brought to the camp
on the next morning.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 13.-J. Mack
Love, chairman of the democratic state
committee, in an interview here, said:
cit was the silent vote that beat us.
It was the vote that switched about
regardless of party, and was cast this
year by fairly prosperous men and
feeling that it is best to let well enough
alone. Of course, no one can say what
the future will bring, but should say
that Kansas democracy will do no
more fusing with populists. The pros
poets are that in the fusture the
democrats will paddle their own canoe"

UNCLE SANS STRONG BOX.
Report of Treasurer Roberts Shows Gross
Receipts OF 81 1877 100000 for the Year
Disbursements, S1,105,943,472.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The annual
report of the treasurer of the United
States, Ellis II. Roberts, on the oper-
atoms and conditions of the treasury,
was submitted to Secretary Gage
Monday. Mr.. Roberts says the growth
and prosperity of the country and the
general activity of business are re-
fiected in the transactions of his
Office. The net ordinary revenues of
the government for the fiscal year
were $567 ,24O, $50, the largest in the
history of the country, exceeding
those of 1866, the next highest, by
SAT, 291 1858. The increase of $51, 2sO, 232
over the preceding year was contrib
uted from all general sources, but
chiefly from customs and internal
revenue. On the side of the expend-
itures there was a net decrease of
S117,35S. 1888 in comparison with 1899,
so that the deficiency of $50, III $50
for that year was converted into a
surplus of s79, 527, O6O in 1900. The
gross receipts under warrant, includ-
ing those on account of the public
debt, were 1887, 299, 1862, and the dis
bursements $1,195, ,472, a large in
crease on both sides over the previous
year. With the exception of July, 1899,
when there was deficiency of So $685.
1872, a surplus was realized for every
month of the year, the one for June
being the largest at S17,S95,159.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1a.-After a

Gratis, he said: SIN an open, face-to-

will be no contest over the guberna-
torial vote. There is no tribunal to
which we can appeal with any hope of
an impartial hearing. It is not with
in the province of this committee to
decide for the party or congressional
candidates what is advisable with re-
CARDS to contests for the electoral vote
or congressional seats.''

Washington, Nov. 1a.-The govern

the payment of indemnity on account
of the killing by a mob of Marcus
Essagin, naturalized American citi-

United States Consul Gumfere and
the latest declination of the govern

an intimation of it's freedom from liza

clusion that the consuPs representa-

WHILE STEALING A RIDE.
Unknown Man Perhaps Fatally Burned
Top of q Fort Scott n Mem
phis Baggage Car.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1s.-When the
fast mail train on the Fort Scott &
Memphis railway left Kansas City for
Memphis at $3.50 Sunday night there
was a young man lying on top of the
baggage car stealing ride. AS the
train was passing Thayer, Mo-, $40
miles from kansas City, spark set
ire to the mans coat. AS the train
averages about so miles an hour the
man had all he could do to hold on to
the top of the car as it swung around
sharp curves. He could not let go
long enough to pull off his coat. So
the fire burned through his clothing
to his back. At Black Rock, Ark, so
miles further on, the man could en-
dure the agony no longer and threw
his burning coat onto the platform.
The conductor and porter took him off
the car and found that his body was
badly burned. He was taken to the
hospital at Memphis, Tenn, in criti-
cal condition.

NEW PORTO RICO ORDER.
War Department DECREASED the Armed
Force In tho Island Upon Recommenda-
tion OF Gov. Allen and Gen. Davis.

Washington, Nov 13.-By direction
of the president the Department of
Porto Rico will be discontinued on De-
cember Is, 1900, and the island of
Porto Rico and the islands and keys
thereto will be attached to the Depart
ment of the East and designated the
District of Porto Rico. One battalion
of the Eleventh infantry and the
squadron of the Fifth cavalry, now
serving in Porto Rico, will be relieved
from duty therein and sent to New
York city. Brig. Gen. Davis, now in
command of the Department of Porto
Rico, will repair to Manila, Philippine
islands, and report to the commanding
general for assignment to duty as in
spector general of that division.
This order was issued after full
cable consultation with Gov. Allen,
of Porto Rico, and after Gen. Davis
had made his recommendations. 1t was
the opinion of Gov. Allen that the re-
duction of the force in Porto Rico
would be eminently satisfactory to
the people of the island and that the
force to be retained would be ample
for all present purposes. This order
leaves in Porto Rico the Eleventh in
fantry and batteries F and G, of the
Fifth artillery. These troops will be
under the command of Lieut.. Col
! James A. Buchanan, who is now in
command of the native regiment. It
is quite probable that the troops which
are ordered from Porto Rico may in
time be sent to the Philippines.

cost Of RED MEN IODATE.
Commissioner Jones Gives Some
New Facts Regarding the Status
of the American Indian.
THEIR NUMBERS ARE NOT IaInMlNe,
From the Days of Columbus the Population
of the Red Men Has Kept Pace with
the Pale FAces-Ffom 1850 tn July so.
1900, There Has Been Expended $685.
100000 for the Indian Service.

Washington, Nov. 13.-From the an
nual report of Indian Commissioners
Jones these facts are taken:
The total expenditure by the govern
ment on account of the Indian service
from March 4. 1879. up to and including
expenditures for the fiscal year ended last
July amounted to $1O. lis, 107. OF this
amount at least $33S0.000 was devoted to
the cause of Indian education. Under the
head of obstacles to self-support OF the
Indians the report deprecates the ration
system. annuity payments and the leasing
Of allotments. The ration system, says
the report, is the corrallary of the res
ervation system. The Indian population
of the United States is about 267 800, of
which As go receive a daily ration. II the
Indians claims for full rations as right
is conceded the commissioner predicts
that the time when they will be self-sup-
porting lies in the very distant future,
urges that the indiscriminate issue Of
ratfons stop at once. The old and help
less, he says, should be provided for. but
rations should be issued to the able
bodied only for labor, while those who
have been educated in Indian schools
should depend entirely on their own re-
sources. Annuities distributed last year
aggregated $780,, SAB, the per capita rang
ing from $255 down to so cents.
There were $50 Indian schools Of all
kinds conducted by the government and
an increase of LAP pupils in enrolment
and LAP in average attendance shown
over the previous year. About 800 of the
"a, 900 eligible school children are unpro-
vided for. Compulsory education of the
children is strongly Endorsed and congress
is urged to authorize the commission to
place everyone of school age in some
school, the selection Of the school to be
left largely to educated Indians parents.
The report controverts the commonly
accepted theory that by constant contact
with the whites the extinction Of the In
dian is only a matter of time. It says it
can be stated with great degree of con-
fidence that the Indian population of the
United States has been very little dimin-
ished from the days of Columbus, Coro-
nado. Raleigh, Capt. John Smith and
other early explorers.

New York, Nov. 13.-Marcus DAILY.
the great copper king, died Monday
at the Hotel Netherlands. Mr.. Days
death has been expected for weeks.
Marcus DAILY was born in Ireland In
1s42. He came to the United States early
In life and since 1876 had been a citizen
of Montana. He became general manager
OF the Alice silver mine and later came
into control of the Anaconda copper mine.
AT the time of his death he was presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany. In politics he was a democrat
The differences between Mr.. DAILY and
w. A. Clark have attracted much atten-
ton. The trouble started years ago over
some water rights near Butte which Daily
wanted and which Clark had bought,
forcing the other to pay very high fig
ure. Days opportunity for revenge came
IN 1885, when Clark was the democratic
nominee for delegate to congress. With
his immense influence at Anaconda Daily
was able to throw a heavy vote to Car
ter, Clarks republican rival, which had
previously been cast for the democratic
party. Carter was elected.
The next fight between Daily and Clark
was on the location of the state capital.
Helena, Missoula, Bozeman and Ana
>conda were in the fight. Daily advo-
Gated the last named place. Clark at first
favored Butte, but finally changed to
Helena and that city was chosen. The
8enatorship again became the bone or
contention between the Two ihiinohaii GO
last January and Clark was elected. DAILY
had the validity of the election contested
on the ground of bribery when Clark pre-
scented his credentials to the United
States. The use of money in the election
was freely acknowledged on both sides.
though 1t was claimed that the expend-
ttures were for legitimate purposes only.
The contest resulted in the. senate voting
that there had been no election by the
Montana legislature. This year Clark
made a fight for the election of members
of the legislature in his interest and won.
His return to the United States senate
next January is assured.
DAILY had passion for horses Of blood
and speed. He owned the $4,000 colt
Hamburg, Tammany, Montana, Senator
Gray, Gwendoline, Ogden and other ia
NOUS winners. He tried to buy the win
ner of the Derby and Ascot races Of 1897.
