THE RICHMOND FIRE.
Only Bare Walls of the Hotel Are Left
 Standing.

Richmond, March 30.-When the great hotel fire was finally extinguished this afternoon, the towers and northeast wing were standing, and these and the heavy granite foundations. 1t Is estimated, will reduce the expense of rebuilding about B per cent. The total insurance Is about 55o,ooo The direct representatives of Major Ginter's estate will be here Mon day. Nothing definite can be obtained about rebuilding until they arrive There now seems no doubt that no one perished in the building. Many guests lost money and jewelry in connection with their clothing. The consensus of testimony Is that as a rule the guests were all, the circumstances considered. very calm, Miss Ellen Glasgow lost the manuscript of a new book which was being copied by a stenographer. Some guests who were the first to flee had valuables restored to them by others Sculptor Valentine said this evening that his statue of Jefferson could be restored.

AeUlNALDo VISITED BY
 HIS WIFE AND MOTHER

Manila, March 3o.-The wife and moth CT of Aguinaldo, who have been living at Biancayan, near Old Cavite, have been granted permission to visit him.
 The Spaniard, Lorenzo Prieto, who was charged with assisting the insurgents by furnishing information to the insurgent General Cailles, in exchange for trading privileges, was tried by military com mission, found guilty and sentenced to death. General MacArthur commuted the sentence to Imprisonment for ten years.
 Prieto was the agent of the firm of Men dezona and Company and to a certain ex- tent was associated with D. A. Carman, the American contractor, also charged with aiding the Filipino insurgents.
 There is excellent reason for the belief that the portion of General Corbin's mes sage not made public relates to the case of Aguinaldo, the question of whose de- portation is now a source of some per- plexity to the administration. Although it Is more than probable that General Macarthur is asked for an expression of his judgment as to the best course to pursue with regard to his prisoner, it Is barely possible that the message con- tains definite instructions on that point.

Another Conference.


 He has again conferred with General Triaz and the chief justice, Arellano, but his future intentions have not been an- nounced. He spends much time seated by a barred window watching the boats passing up and down the Pasig river. This morning Aguinaldo was recognized by crowd of natives going up the river in a lighter. The natives gazed at him awhile in silence and then began to jeer, calling him Emilio, and vile names in the Tagalog language. The guards quieted the disturbance, and Aguinaldo left the window in disgust
 The natives in Manila are undemon- strative concerning Aguinaldo's capture, and it is difficult to ascertain what the majority of them really think of 1t. It is certain that Aguinaldo's influence is less strong than formerly, though 1t Is still great.
 The representative of the Associated Press has interviewed Filipinos, including business men and the principal citizens Of Manila, as well as representatives of the lower classes and former insurgents, on the capture of Aguinaldo. The majority of the persons questioned were unfeign- edly glad that Aguinaldo had been cap tured. and said they considered that the worst obstacle to the speedy pacifcauon of the islands had been removed. some men distrust Aguinaldo and advise his immediate deportation. Others believe he can render valuable assistance by urg- ing his countrymen to acquiesce to Amer ican. authority All men agree that the outlook today Is much brighter.
 At the graduation yesterday of the Ma nila Nautical Academy General MacAr- thur in an eloquent speech, compliment cd the graduating cadets and predicted n splendid future for Philippine com merce.

Manila, March 30.-In company with Colonel Vellia, his chief of staff, and Dr. Barcelona, ex-treasurer of the Filipino government, Aguinaldo occupies one of the best apartments of the Malacanang palace. He is closely guarded and court eously steated. Captain Francis K. Ker- nan of the Second Infantry, Capt. Will liam l. Kenly of the First Artillery, mem bers of General MacArthurs staff; Capt. Benjamin II. Randolph and Lieut.. Gilbert A. Youngberg of the Third Artillery, with five guards, are watching him. Aguinal- do nervously paces the floor and, deeply hair. He smokes many cigarettes and has a hearty appetite. He speaks only few words of English. He is conscious of his dignity but tries to talk pleasant ly with his guards He often praises the sl1iii and audacity of General Funston in effecting his capture, saying that only through strategy could he have been captured. It is said that Aguinaldo is very strongly averse to reverting from his former attitude, but that he must re gard the best interests of the Filipino people. .-gs,g, ,s,...,s.YGsrFg rFg's,ss5ss'
 The sisters of pr. Barcelona have called upon him, bringing a plentiful supply of linen. Aguinaldo is well supplied with money, and has ordered a supply of new clothes He is careful of his personal ap- pearance. He celebrated his thirty-second birthday the day before he was captured The birthday festivities were prolongd, and only terminated upon the arrival of General Funston. Aguinaldo tries to read the American newspapers, and is anxious to learn the state of public opinion in the United States concerning Philippine af- fairs.

FAVoRiNG RAILROADS

The proceedings at Columbus in the
matter of the attempt to have the rail-
roads of the state pay their Just share
of taxation. indicate plainly that the
dominating influence of the state board
os equalization. being the Republican
managers of the state, led by !. B.
Cameron, do not intend to permit any
thing Of the sort, but viii insist that
the railroads be exempt as heretofore.
They will not subscribe to the Demo-
cratic plank, which calls for equitable
taxation.
This brings the question to an Issue
very plainly. AS Ohio has taken the
initiative in the matter 1t is a state
issue almost exclusively. 1t is also an
issue in each county.
Every dollar that the railroads paid
in excess Of what they now pay would
mean just so many dollars less that
tie people have to pay. In many in
stances in Stark county farmers and
iht ht'hdiliNS dlt pay lu6 VII Il NdludtlVl
of 100 per cent. and there are instances
where farms that the owner to-day
would sell for $4,000 are assessed for
$500 or even $4,000. One does not
need to inquire far to meet that fact.
One of the items that Stark county
has to pay, after the taxes are collected
is Il state tax. This amounted in 1890
u S120, ,S91.22. If the railroads had been
assessed at what they ought to have
been, the increase would more than
have paid the state tax, and would have,
in fact, left enough to pay off part of
the $4,000 in bonds that the county
commissioners recently saw fit to issue
to meet running expenses after having
exhausted the funds received from tax
alton.
Farmers and laborers. who assume
the burdens of taxation without COM
plant, would better look into this
question before the polls open this fall.

THEDEC|S|ON
OF Citizens In Matter Of Ora mt
ing Right Of Way In City
--Franchise Expected
in Canton.

The officials of the Canton, Massilon
& Akron Railway company believe that
the Canton council will grant the COM
pany q franchise for the construction
Of line in the city Of Canton at the
next meeting of the council, which will
be held Monday evening, says the
Akron Beacon-Journal.
Manager Currie said Saturday that
be expects the council to agree on
the matter, and is confident that the
franchise will be granted. The COM
pany is still being held up in Mas
sillon, but Manager Currie is of the
orinion that the people of that city will
see where they are making mistake
in refusing to allow the company to
enter the city over Main street, and
that they will eventually give their
consent. Mr.. Currie has not heard
from the committee of citizens appoint
ed to confer with him in regard to the
matter, but he is expecting to hear
from them at any time. He says that
there is only one way left by which the
company may enter the city, and that
is on Main street. and the citizens of
the city are gradually overcoming their
preiudices in the matter.
Although the contractors are at work
grading the line from Canton to this
city, they have done nothing with the
proposed Massillon line, nor will they
until entrance to Massillon is assured
the company. There is also large
force of men at work on this end of
the line, and the track that has been
laid as far as Kenmore Is being bal
lasted and placed in excellent shape.
Manager Currie stated that the grading
of the Canton, Massillon & Akron line
will not be finished until the last of the
year, and that it would be impossible
to lay any rails before the first of next
year. The company, however, hopes to
have the line in running order early in
the summer.

Mckinley may not have died In vain.
There is feeling that bis death will
do much toward engendering a more
fraternal feeling among the people Of
the country. There never was timo
when party lines were SO completely
obliterated. Democrat and Republican
stood side by side and there was no
difference in the degree or sincerity
of their grief. 1t was the great patri-
otic heart of the nation awakened by
national calamity. Such love of
country Is her bulwark and safeguard.
Men may differ in party principles,
may divide on matters of governmental
policy. but when the safety Of the
nation is threatened, when it's heart
is touched, 1t is then realized that all
are members of one great body of loyal
Americans. and what touches one
touches all. The sacrifice was great.
But in the language Of the dying chief.
tain, I" 1t is Gods will The future
alone can unfold the mysteries of
Providence.
