IT'S A SURE THING
Reports That Extra Session Is Off
Are Without Foundation.
STRONG PRESSURE AGAINST IT
Nevertheless There Is Nothing to In
dicate That Gov. Van SAINTS
Plans Have Changed.

There is absolutely no reason to doubt
that there will be an extra session of the
legislature this winter
If the tax commission reports in time,
as it is in duty and honor bound to do,
the legislature will be convened to con-
slider it's report.
morning paper declared to-day that
in letter Gov. Van SAINT had stated that
there was no certainty that there would
be a special session Of the legislature "
No such language was used. The letter
was written to Charles M. Reeves, secre-
tary of the committee on legislation OF
the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Mr..
Reeves called the governors attention to
the fact that Minnesota had made no ap-
preparation for the exposition, and asked
that he appoint honorary commissioners
to represent the state The governor re-
ported that a movement had been instiA
tuted looking to an extra session, and that
the matter should rest in allegiance awhile.
If the extra session should make an ap-
propriation, then the state would have
active commissioners. If the legislature
failed to act, then honorary commission
ers would be appointed.
Governor Van SAINT refuses to discuss the
extra session proposition on the ground
that it is not properly before him until
the tax commission reports. There is no
ground now for discussing the question.
There is no reason to surmise, or even
hint that the governor has changed his

BOUND OVER
Tanke and Wife Held for the
Murder of the Woman's
Former Husband.

st. Peter, Mimi, Oct. 25.-The ,prelim-
mary examination in the case of the state
against Frank and Amelia Tanke was
brought to a very sudden close yesterday
afternoon by the announcement of County
Attorney Davis that the state rests it's
case. Attorney Eckstein for the defend
ants did not conceal his pleasure and de-
manded that the court order the state to
produce any testimony 1t might have
against the defendants The court Of
course denied the motion and whatever Of
evidence the state has in it's possession,
other than that brought out since Mon
day, will be kept a secret.
Sheriff Mcmillan and County Attorney
Davis claim their best evidence has not
been presented and that they only intro
duced enough to warrant the justice in
binding Mr.. and Mrs. Tanke to the dis
trict court. The motion of Mr.. Eckstein
to discharge was denied and upon the re-
quest of the county attorney, the court
ordered Frank Tanke and Mrs. Tanke to
appear before the grand jury at the next
term of the district court which convenes
on the fourth Tuesday in November The
prisoners were remanded to jail.

1t is and has been for years the conten-
tion of some of the ablest thinkers of
the country that as the regulations for
the choosing of presidential electors is
left to the legislature Of each state, any
state can provide by statute that women
may be electors in voting for president,
regardless of the general electoral clause
of the constitution which restricts the
privilege of voting to men.
The question was presented by Mrs B.
G. Kissam of Minneapolis and awakened
much interest. Governor Van SAINT was
quoted as saying that if the ladies Of the
association would appeal to the legisla-
ture with a strong force presidential
suffrage would be granted in this state

Seventeen or More Lives Lost by the
Burning of Furniture Factory
in Philadelphia.
Surrounded by Flames, Men and Wo-
men Jump From Fire Escapes
and Are Dashed to Death.

Philadelphia, Oct Pa fierce fire Is
raging on Market street, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets, and it is feared a
heavy loss of life is involved.
The fire started at 1O:30 this morning
in the nine story building occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson C Co., furniture and up
holstery manufacturers. Although the
structure was freproof, it was filled from
cellar to roof with highly inflammable ma
terials and soon flames were bursting
from every window and it was impossible
ing building. Hundreds of men and
women were employed by the firm and a
a great many were killed and injured
Up to II o'clock eleven bodies have been
removed to the morgue and it is certain
that others were killed. The flames
spread so quickly that nearly everybody
who could get out was compelled to jump
from the fire escapes in the rear. which
fronts on narrow street.
Killed by Jumping.
When the iremen reached the scene
this street was literally piled up with
bodies of people who had jumped. Some
were dead, others were dying. Lying on
the fire escape at the fifth story, in full
view Of thousands of spectators, was a
body roasted to a cinder, and other OBJ
jects on the fire escape higher up were
believed to be bodies. The fire is spread
ing eastward and has crossed Market
street. where several big buildings are on
fire; but the fire department hopes to pre-
vent these from being, destroyed,
| IWaAamaker's irsmense store is only a
few hundred feet away and the city hall
is close by, but the wind is blowing from
direction that will save these struc-
lures.
About 1870 o'clock, the walls of the
Hunt Wilkinson building fell. This gave
the f1remen an opportunity to work on the
other buildings that were ablaze, and at
IL o'clock the fire was believed to be un-
der control. The wholesale and retail
rubber warehouse of Latta G. Mulconroy,
adjoining Hunt Wilkinson & Co.'s build
ing, took fire, but the flames were confined
to the upper stories.
How Many Were Killed.
Stories conflict as to the number of per-
sons killed. Hunt Wilkinson & Co. en-
ployed 80 people, mostly girls. The fire
is believed to have started on the second
floor, where 10 persons were at work. 1t
is not known whether any of these es-
capped. When the rear wall of the build
ing fell a number of bodies were lying
in the small street in the rear, variously
estimated at from six to thirty, and these
are covered with tons Of brick and
twisted iron. The police say that twelve

are known to have been killed and that
they hesitate to estimate how many bodies
are in the ruins.
The rapid spreading of the fire is said
to be due to the fact that much naphtha.
varnish, excelsior and other highly in
1ammable material was used by the firm.
Employees of the firm who started down
the fire escape at the rear of the build
ing were compelled to jump before they
had travelled two stories because Of the
flames breaking through the windows.
The fremen who arrived on the scene de-
voted their energies entirely to the work
of rescue. Nets were spread in front and
rear Of the building and some who jumped
were saved in this way. woman
jumped from one Of the windows of the
Market street front, but the smoke
blinded her and she missed the net, strik-
ing the pavement and dying instantly. In
the rear a young girl who jumped from
one of the top stories caught on the fire
escape at the third story and the flames,
bursting from the window, burned her
body to crisp in almost a minute.
Encircled by Flame.
Two men, one white and one colored,
emerged from the fourth story and stood
on the fire escape with the flames all
around them. The white man danced up
and down and appeared to be bereft OF
his reason. The colored man stood for a
few seconds and then jumped to his death
below. The white man stood on the fire
escape until he was overcome and then
fell to his death in the small street.
There was no fire escape on the front
of the building and all employees rushed
in mad panic to the rear.
Seventeen Dead.
The loss of life is now placed at seven
teen while many more were seriously
and perhaps fatally injured. The financial
loss is upward Of $5O0,0OO.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
Thy an explosion of benzine and naphtha
which, with other materials used in the
manufacture of furniture was stored in
| the cellar. The flames shot up the ele-
vator shaft and in less than five minutes
everyone of the nine floors of the struc-
ture was ablaze. There were 800 employees
men and women at work in the different
departments at the time. Five who
leaped from windows were picked up liv-
ing, but they died on the way to the hos
pital.
! While the fire escape was filed with the
panic stricken men and women the wall
collapsed and eight persons are known to
have been burned in the ruins. A few
minutes later the front wall fell inward;
and it is not known whether any bodies
are undeT 1t. If such is the case the per-
sons were probably burned to death be-
fore the wall collapsed.
At l o'clock the fire is still burning but
is under control. A new eight story
building at 1917 Market street as yet un-
occupied prevented the spread of the
flames to the eastward in which direction
they were blown by the wind. Otherwise
the city would have witnessed probably
the greatest confagration in its history.
Several business houses on the south side
of Market street were badly scorched.

NORMAL CASE DELAYED
Quo WarrantO VIII Probably BE
Filed Monday.

Attorney General Douglas did not pre-
sent the quo warranto petition in the
board of control case to-day. Papers pre-
pared by General Childs were delivered
to him this morning but too late for him
to prepare himself on the case AS the
court does not ordinarily sit on Saturday.
the petition will probably go over until
Monday.
The petition did not set forth any of
the details of the conflict between the
normal board and the board of control.
1t will merely allege that the board of
control has been performing duties which
belong solely to the normal school board.
and ask that they-be summoned to show
their grounds for so acting.

Iy, and sentenced to four and six
months respectively, in the county
Jail. Shortly the county attorney ask
ed the boys n a jocular way which
they preferred their Jail sentences or
twenty-five lashes on the bare back.
Each promptly answered that he
would take the whipping. No more
was thought of it by the officials, how
eva until several days later when
Tote from the prisoners reached the
prosecuting attorney, telling him that
they were ready and anxious to take
the whipping and get their release, and
would promise to leave Fulton and
never return. They were taken at their
word. Constable Garner, who weighs
2lS pounds, was hunted up, and the
negroes were taken to the sherlifs
office, where the big constable laid the
lash on their bare backs in the old
fashioned way. Every blow from the
rawhide made the darkies groan with
pain, but they gamely took the pun
lshmert they had chosen and were
given their release.

A GREAT RAILWAY.
The Four Til housand-Mlle Road That Runs
Through Siberia.

The Four Til ousand-Mil Road That Runs
Through Siberia.
The most interesting portion OF
Russias great 4,OOO-mile railway is
The steam ferry across Lake Baikal in
central Siberia. The lake, says the
London Sphere, has an extent Of over
thirteen thousand square miles, and
is more than twice as wide as the Eng
lish channel at Dover. In places it is
as deep as 4,5O0 feet, and parts of it
have never been plumbed. 1t is SUR
rounded by some of the hardest noun
tains which a railway engineer could
encounter. The official plan of the
Transsiberian railway includes a rail-
way round the southern end Of the
lake, to connect TIE two lake shore
termipi, but thu enormous difficulty
and expense which Is an important
matter to Russia at the present time,
OF constructing such line conspire to
Indefinitely postpOre its completion.
At present, therefore, the railway is
broken in two by this huge Lake Bal
kal, the western shore terminus be-
ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at
Nisovaya To link the two ends with
steam ferry which would be able to
break through the ice which covers the
lake from tho middle of December to
May was doubtless suggested by the
excellent work of the Yermak ice
breaker in the Baltic. Sir William
Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., of New
castle, were the constructors of the
Yermak, and to the order of the Rus
sian government, they constructed a
second and larger icebreaker, which
was christened the Baikal. The parts
Of the vessel were put together on the
shores of the lake by the firms en-
gineers. 1t is curious that railway
first suggested to the Russian govern
ment by an Englishman should owe
its most vital part to an English firm.
The Baikal has three lines Of rails
laid upon her main deck to carry one
passenger and two goods trains across
the lake. The trains enter the ice
breaker at the bow, which is run up
against a pier. The rails are connect
ed and the trains run into tAe vessel.
With this load she will crush her way
through three feet Of ice at speed Of
thirteen knots an hour. A screw at a
bow with separate engine ucks away
the water from underneat.- the ice at
the bow, which thus splits from its
7wn wsight; Ibe two stubby bladed
propellers at the stern at the same
time force the vessel through the bro
ken ice sheet. The actual track Of the
Baikal measures thirty-nine miles
There is harbor and lighthouse at
the southwestern end of the lake, but
the.c is no dock where the Bakal
could be repaired in case Of need. At
present, therefore, Russia's 4,O00-mile
railway is absolutely dependent for a
through journey on the reliability OF
British-build railway ferry.
