GRAND CONFEDERATION.
Burning of the Baku Oil Refineriea fin Russia Said to Be Biggest
 Blaze on Record,

The great fire at the oil fefineries and reservoirs at Balxu, Russia, which has only recently been extinguished, ranks as one of the biggest confa- grations of the kind on record. It's origin was mystery, but within an hour of the outbreak the magazines of the Caspian 6 Black Sea company, containing an immense quantity of petroleum, amounting to 6,O0O,000 poods, were involved. Ten people, un- able to escape the fiery torrent, per ished, and over 40 were terribly burned. For several days it was quite impossible toscope with the flames, with the result that ten factories and five depots, with storage capacity of 35,ooO,0oo poods of oil-say, 562,5o0 tons-of an estimated value of over 6,0o0, ,0oo rubles, were destroyed.
 Enormous quantities of petroleum are stored in the reservoirs adjacent to Baku awaiting transport via the Trans-Kavkas line to Poti and Batoun, on the Black sea, whence by magnificent fleet of oi1-tank steam CTS it is distributed to all parts of the world. With such a volatile agent to handle, it is no wonder that fires are of frequent occurrence, and it is rare, indeed, that Baku is without it's blaze. As a rule the reservoirs and the re- fneries escape, and it is merely the "gusher" which catches fire. This, however, is bad enough, as many of the oil fountains are worth anything from $25,OOO to $25o,eOO, and once a1ight no human ingenuity can stay. the work of destruetion until the whole of the oli being belched from the earth is burned away,
 The accompanying iIlusfrat ton. takeng rom photograph reproducea in the London Sphere, gives one an idea of the grandeur of the destrue- tive fire.

Lord Strathcona Who Was Made a
 Baron by Victoria.
Considered by Many the Most Distin. gufshed Citizen of British Amer ica-His UnexceIIed Record
 as a PhiIanthropist.

One of the distinguished visitors who will be in attendance at the great Y. M. c. A. jubilee in Boston in June, and who will give one of the addresses, is Lord Strathcona, high commissioner for Canada, and one of the most eminent men in that coun- try. A man of large wealth and gen. erous heart, his benefactions have been so many and they have given evidence of such broadness of spirit that he has been hkened to the American George Peabody. Lord Strathcona was born in Scotland in the year 1920, and before he became Lord Strathcona he was plain Don aid Smith. He went to Canada when he was mere boy, and he was IS when he became a junior clerk in the office of the Hudson Bay company. To the active outdoor life and the honest toll that were his daily por- tion during many years of his service in the Hudson Bay company he at tributes the physical vigor and men tai alertness that are h1s at the age of s1. Step by step he rose in the service and in the esteem of the great huuSCu Day CoIupdny unCII ne DccdHe one of it's most important factors.
 He has been a member of the house of commons, and he did not re- tire from political life until his seyenty-fifth year, when he was ap- pointed high commissioner for Can ada His services to his native and to his adopted country had been SC valuable that in 1886 the queen con ferred upon Donald Smith the order of knighthood, and in the next year he was still further honored by her majesty, who made him Baron Strath- coma and Mount Rayol, of Glencoe in Argyll, and of Montreal in Canada.
 Of Lord Strathcona's philanthropy '+ may be said that on one occasion

HARTFORD AND WATERBURY, CONN, SATURDAY, 1901.

As state secretary Cardinal Ram pol lives in the vatican. His person ality is said to be charming; his voice is particularly soft and insinuating. In Rome, when he appears in public, he exerts a curious influence upon those near by; no Roman crowd has ever been known to insult him to his face, and he has the reputation of never denying an audience to anyone It is a somewhat curious fact that of the many descriptions that have been written of h.s manner, discourse and general expression, hardly any two are, alike.

WASHED THEIR FEET
Emperor of Austria's Humble Serv.
 ice to Twelve Old Men.
Impressive Annual Ceremony Has Gorgeous Aspect and Is Attend cd by Court Dignitaries and
 High Diplomats. .

In the presence of the imperial family, the diplomatic corps and the highest officials of Austro-Hungary the emperor on April 1s knelt in his palace in Vienna and washed the feet of 12 poor and aged men. This ceremony, commemorating Christ's washing the feet of His disciples at the last supper, has been regularly carried out at the Austrian court for more than 200 years. It was intro duced from Spain. It was the fifty third occasion on which Emperor service, he having ascended the throne in 1S43.
 The great ceremonial hall, in the new wing of the imperial hofburg, where the service was held, present. ed a magnificent and gorgeous spec tacle- Ia the body of the hall were scores of military officers in their most brilliant uniforms-knights of Malta, cabinet ministers and court functionaries. The diplomatic corps was accommodated in boxes ranged along one side of the hall. Immedi- ately in front of these was raised sdais, upon which stood a long table covered with a white cloth and laid for 12 guests to be seated along one side.
 Shortly before the time fixed for the ceremony, writes a Chicago Rec ord-Herald correspondent, the 12 old men were brought in, supported by court officials, and each accompanied by two relatives, mostly women, who were privileged to stand behind them during the ceremony. Clad in ancient pilgrim garb, with quaint broad Trimmed beaver hats and wide linen collars, the men, whose ages ranged from 96 to 87, formed picturesque sight. After them came a dozen sta7

HAS THE FATAL BEE.
Cardinal Rampol1a Would Like to
 Succeed Leo XIII.
Es Said to Be About to Secure His Own Dismissal from His Present High Office to Improve His
 Prospects.

From Rome comes a seemingly well-authenticated story to the Now York Times that Cardinal Rampolla, in view of the fact that papal sec retary so rarely succeeds to the ti- missal from his high office in order to strengthen his eligibility.
 Rampolla is the most powerful member of the college of cardinals, and it is said that one of his own adherents will take his place as sec retary of state. Some of Pope Leo's most significant acts are credited by persons protesting an insight into the politics of the vatican to the pow erful Sicilian cardinals influence.
 Dealing with the rumors of Car dinal RampolIa's retirement from the office of secretary of state, the cor respondent says he is aiming for the tiara, and that if the pontif died to- day the struggle would be between Cardinals Rampolla and Vannuteli.
 The correspondent adds:
 "The Gottis, Svampas and Pa rocchis would be there to watch the weaknesses and profit by them. One of these last might even come out on top"
 The correspondent calculates that Cardinal Rampolla is sure of B votes, but needs 36. He concludes two- column dispatch by saying:
 tsThere remains but one obstacle for Cardinal Rampo1la to overcome an obstacle that is immense in an af.t fair where traditions are everything,l It is contrary to custom for secre. tary of state to succeed his master This is why it is not improbable that Cardinal Rampo11a will strive to ap- pear to have been disgraced in order not to preserve responsibility for an. authority in the throes of death.

quitting the office of secretary of state before the promulgation of the associations bill he would avoid quarreling with the French govern ment. He would assure himself of the sympathy of America, which has two cardinals; of England, which has two, and of Russia, which has none, but is powerful
 For several years Cardinal Ram po11a has been accused of laying his plans to. secure the succession as the sovereign pontif. Even when be- cause of his lack of age Che was born in 1S43) he could scarcely hope to present himself a candidate he was accused, principally by German and Austrian cardinals, for he is an open enemy of the triple alliance, of attempting to induce the Italians in the sacred college to favor one of his colleagues. When, however, at a se- cret consistory two years ago Il new cardinals were created, only two of whom were not Italians, thus mak ing the Italians number 35, as against 30 foreigners, there was little doubt in the Catholic world that Rampolla had himself in view for the success sion. In certain quarters, it is true, he was declared to be still too vounp and it was said that he would not have himself proposed, but that the estimable and somewhat unimpor- tant Cardinal Ii Pietro would be the "papabile" of the group of ministe- rialists, while, in the event of this selection, Rampo11a would still con tinue in his office of secretary of state.
 Rampolla is not only said to be fa- vored by majority of Italian pre1- ates; those of the romance countries are also believed to favor him. esne cially the French, because of his at- titude toward the natural enemy of France. He is also thought to have the support of the American car dinals.
 Persons who have had to deal with in the art of statecraft Rampolla was not even surpassed by the famous secretary of state of Plus K, al- though his field of visible action is much smaller. Patience, tenacity and a genius for quick execution are said to be his chief characteristics. As is stated in the foregoing dispatch, he is 8 Sicilian by birth, and, like many sicilians, he is a philosopher and a deep thinker.
