'THl[[ LIVES LOST
Fire in a Boston Newspaper
Building.
THE PRooFREADERs ARE THE VICTIMS
Upper Floors Of the Advertiser Office Burned
Out-Most Of the Employees Escaped
to an Adjoining Roof.

BOSTON,, March 1S.-Three lives
sacrificed, nearly a dozen men more
or less injured, and many thousands
of dollars of damage were the results
OF a fire in the Daily Advertiser and
Records seven-story, gray front build
ing in Newspaper Row tonight.
How the fire started is not known,
but it was first seen in the pressroom.
1t spread to the elevator well, and
darted to the top so rapidly that be-
fore the occupants of the two upper
floors were aware that the building
was on fire their rooms were filed
with flames and smoke.
In the editorial rooms on the sixth
floor there were but five men. All
had to run for their lives. On the
upper floor, occupied by the compos-
ing room, were Is composers and
proofreaders, whose situation was
most critical. Panic stricken, they
rushed. for the windows leading to
the fire escapes, and all but three of
them succeeded in gaining the roof

ders were raised as quickly as the
network of electric wires over the
street would permit, but before a lad
der could be placed in position the
men had dropped through a skylight
in the adjoining roof and reached
places of safety. Except in the press
room in the basement there was prac-
tically no fire in the building below
the fifth story. No one was in the
pressroom at the time the fire started
except the fireman, who had not been
seen up to a late hour. 1t took three
hours of work to drown out the fire.
The three victims were suffocated
before they had time to reach the
fire escapes.
Late tonight the loss was estimated
at $150,000, with little insurance.

DEWET Is INSANE.
Statement Made by Prisoners Lately
Released,


Released.
BLOEMFONTEIN, March 1S.-Pris.
oners who have lately been released
by General Dewet say they think he
is madman. They aver that the ter.
rible fatigues he has undergone, his
anxiety and the Intensity of his feel.
ings have unbalanced his mind. Apart
from this view of Dewet's mental state,
some of his peculiarities are that he
rarely sleeps within the bounds of his
camp. He seeks rest outside with a
few trusted followers. Thus the or:
derlies of his subordinate commanders
are frequently unable to find him to
receive orders. His secrecy is ex.
treme. He absolutely imparts his
plans to no one. Dewet repudiates
the peace negotiations WHICH are go
ing on. He declares openly to the men
that no terms except independence
will satisfy him. A recent utterance
attributed to him is that, after the
British, he hated the Transvaalers,
The whereabouts of Dewet during the
last two or three days is unknown,
nor is it known whether President
Steyn is with him.

STATE OF SIEGE PROCLAIMED.
Result of Russian Riots Promoted bv
Students.


Students.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 1s-In
consequence of the riotous disturb.
ances following the demonstrations
promoted by university students the
government has proclaimed state of
siege at Odessa, Kieff and Kharkoff.
1t is reliably reported here that a
student died at Kharkoff from injuries
sustained in the disorders of March
in that city. Eight hundred stu
dents of the University of St. Peters
burg, virtually all remaining here, met
last Friday and resolved not to at.
tend further lectures. The police
subsequently arrested 16. Four hun
dred students of the archaeological
school entered the courtyard of the
institution to hold a meeting, and
the police inscribed their names. The
mining academy is already entirely
closed.
It is reported that Count Tolstoi,
who ever since his accommodation
has been loudly cheered whenever he
has made his appearance, is taking
an active part in the disturbances at
Moscow, where the situation is com
plicated by a strike of the operatives
OF several large factories.

HOP SITUATION.
Old Crop Sold and New Crop Being
Contracted in Yakima Valley

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, March
2O.-The hop crop of 1900 has been
sold, and contracts are being made
for the output of Yakima for the COM
ing season. Buyers from Portland
are here cleaning up the remnants
of last year. They report only 43
bales of the crop Of 1900 on hand.
The last sales ranged about IA cents,
although some have been made at
Is cents pound. The indications
are favorable for a good crop this
year. All the yards are being cleaned
and put in shape. Estimates place
the Yakima acreage at 2,400, yielding
an average of 1000 pounds.
One of the most important items
for the consideration of hop men is
the introduction of the Bohemian
methods of curing in the Yakima val
ley. Senator A. HeinlAh, of the Sc
attle Brewing & Mailing Company,
conducted series of experiments
last season, and demonstrated that an
exact imitation of the celebrated
Bohemian hops could be made in
Yakima. The hops were cured with
out artificial heat or sulphur, and
were used in making a choice blend
OF Yakima beer. 1t is claimed that
such hops sell in Seattle for 81 cents
a pound.
The Yakima crop for 1901 is placed
at from $4,000 to 10000 bales of 200
pounds each. Contracts are being
made at IL cents tor all that can be
produced. None but small growers,
however, are selling at any price.
NO new yards are to be planted this
season, and none will be plowed up for
other crops. Growers state that hops
may be produced and prepared, for
market for cents per pound. When
sold at II cents they make fair profit,
but it is believed the price will rule
higher this fall; hence those having
large yards are not anxious to con-
tract the coming crop for less than
Is cents.

OUTLAWRY IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Methods Pursued by TagaIs to Ter
rorize Peaceful Natives,

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The
records in the cases. of "a Filipino
natives, charged with various offenses
against military discipline in the Phil
1pplnes, including murder, treason and
other acts of violence, have been re-
celved at the war department. These
records make plain the methods pur-
sued by the insurgents to terrorize
the native inhabitants of the islands,
and show cases of atrocities commit
ted upon the latter where they de-
clined to comply with the demands
and the eXactions of the so-called
Filipino government
In one case nine insurgent sympa-
thizers, fully armed, seized in the
uight family of five persons and
killed them with Dolos. The motive
for the murder was the punishment
of the family for refusing to pay taxes
in support Of the insurgent govern
ment. The guilty natives were SEN
fenced to hard labor for 80 years. In
another case, under the orders of an
insurgent lieutenant colonel, native
was seized, bound and made to sit
down while soldier "held his head
and with knife cut his throat" The
murderer was condemned to be
hanged. Most of the other cases were
the murder of innocent Filipinos by
alleged soldiers and officers of the in
surgent army, several of whom are
described as notorious bandits and
outlaws. The most atrocious, accord
ing to the records, is that of Eusebio
Rojas, who was sentenced to be
hanged, styling himself lieutenant of
infantry in the insurgent forces under
the command of Alejandrino. Rojas
claimed to exercise summary power
over the lives and property of the
natives who did not pear arms against
the United States, and conceived it
to be his duty to murder peaceful and
law-abiding people living within his
so-called military Jurisdiction.
