Big Blaze in New York.

New York. Nov. 29.-Half a million
dollars is the estimate of the loss by
a fire last evening in the vicinity of
Ninth street and the East river. Sew
eral flremen were hurt, but none seri-
ously. The blaze started in the plant
of W. E Uptegrove & Bros, manu-
facturerS of boxes, veneers and fine
wood work. and this firm was the
principal sufferer. One of its build
ings was a Seyen-Story structure,
while those surrounding it were one
story buildings. All the Uptegroye
mill was destroyed. From the Stan
dard Oil company's depot on Eleventh
street thousands of gallons of oil were
drained into the river TO prevent a
great explosion and resulting confia-

A County Custom.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Having re-
ceived official notice from the Turkish
minister at Washington that Wednes-
day was the anniversary of the birth
of the sultan. President Roosevelt sent
that monarch personal telegram of
congratulation. This was in return
for a similar compliment paid him by
the sultan on the occasion of his birth
day last month The custom of ex-
changing congratulatory messages OF
this kind was inaugurated a great
many years ago and is faithfully OBJ
served by most of the rulers of Euro
peaa governments. The late Queen
Victoria always kept informed with
respect to the birthdays of American
presidents. and never failed to send
a personal telegram of congratulation
and the compliment always was recip-
rocated on the anniversaries of her
birth.

A NEwRCOMET
Chicago Gets First Glimpse of Celes-
tial Vagrant.


Chicago, Nov. "a comet was Wis
ible here in the southern sky last
evening. Its position as viewed from
the Auditorium tower, in which the
United States weather bureau is stu
ated. was about 10 degrees southeast
from the zenith. 1t was difficult to
judge of its length, for the reason that
it was pointed directly upward and
was apparently going from the earth,
but Prof. Cox, in charge of the bureau.
said that in his judgment it was about
two degrees long.
4 am not an astronomer" said
Prof. Cox. but l feel very positive
that it was comet. 1t was plainly
visible at $50 O'Clock, and we could
see it at Z O'Clock. when it became
invisible on account of the increasing
haze. All the men in the Office here
saw it. Ii could not have been a
meteor for it remained practically in
the same position during the entire
time it was visible and no meteor
would have done that. Its apparent
immortality shows, too that it was
at a great distance from the earth
There was a heau which was plainly
visible to the naked eye and still more
apparent when viewed through a
tail" The comet was seen by many
people on the streets. as well as by
the officials at the weather bureau

THEY UPHOLD HIM
Navy Department Sustains the
Action of Perry.


Washington, Nov. 29.-Naval Off
GERS here are disconnected at the i'll
feeling exhibited toward Captain Pei
ry at Panama because he will not
allow the railway to be used for the
transportation OF armed troops. After
a careful examination of the prece-
dents and the treaty under which the
United States is now made absolutely
responsible for the safety of traffic
across the isthmus, they declare that
Captain Perry had no alternative.
Had he allowed the Colombian gov
eminent forces to use the road on the
Panama as they desired. he must of
necessity have yielded the same right
to the Liberals, who hold the Colon
end of the line. The result would in
evitably have been conflicts and the
provisional line would prevent the
free transit that Captain Perry is
there to maintain Therefore his at
titude is held by the navy department
to be entirely correct. However, the
Sact is recognized that the situation
is dangerous from an international
point of view, and it is hoped the pres
sure will be relieved speedily by the
transfer of active military operations
to some other field not near the Pan
anna railway.

SERIOUS DISCREPANCY
Hcasy shortage Revealed in Stewar,
H. Youn.'S Accounts

Louisville, Ky. Nov. 2s-Beyond a
statement made to Mayor Granger by
one OF the expert accountants that
discrepancies amounting TO $4,000
had been found in the books of the
former city treasurer. Stuart r.
Young, who committed suicide Wed
nesday. nothing definite is known as
to how the accounts stand between
the city and its former treasurer.
When asked for an authoritative state
ment one of the accountants said that
beyond the amount mentioned he had
absolutely no idea as to what the all
legged shortage is. He added that the
accountants would require two weeks
of constant work to go over the books
of the treasurer's Office During his
four years term as city treasurer Mr..
Young handled $11.000,0 900 There
are various reports as TO the amount
of the alleged shortage, some placing
it at $50. 900 and some even higher.
but they are all surmises according to
the men who are examining the books.
From developments it seems abso-
lutely certain that if Young had been
found by his friends who were look
ing for him Wednesday afternoon he
would be alive now. Several of
Young's friends. having heard reports
about the condition of the former city
treasurer's accounts before newspaper
publication was made of them. had
arranged a tentative plan to secure
any aid for him that might be needed
Their plan was frustrated merely by
the fact that Wednesday afternoon

the champion in less than two rounds
of fighting, but he did il so perfectly
that there was no doubt about the
cleanness of the victory. The shock
to the New York enthusiasts who
crowded the boxing pavilion when the
little champion was knocked out, was
a repetition of the disappointment eX-
hibited by the adherents of John l..

in New Orleans.

his corner at the end of the first round

and in a burst OF bad temper hit out

were just what Corbett was looking
for. Terry was mixing things up with
whirIwind velocity and throwing sci

a trap as Corbett tented and sud

MAY BE DROPPED.
The Case Against August Ramspot May
Fall Through.

oh ihiohShs
The case against August Ramspot,
of Lake Crystal, commenced by Mrs.
Henrietta Harttum, of Milwaukee, on
the charge of seduction under promis 9
of marriage, will probably be dropped,
as information concerning Mrs Hart
um has come to light which, if true,
would make a successful prosecution
impossible. Thos. Hughes, the former
county attorney, has received letter
from gentleman in Brownton, Mimi.
who states that his brother, who is
now in Dakota, married Mrs. Harttum
a year and a half ago. she then going
under the name of Mrs. Schneider.
They have never been divorced. The
writer calls the woman black mailer
and says that she has served a term at
Saltwater under different name.
Mr.. Hughes learned some time ago
that the woman is not what she
seemed He has ascertained that her
first husbands name was Harttum.
She is said to have left him and gone
to st. Paul, where he found her lead
ing life not to his liking and had
her convicted of adultery and sent to
Saltwater.
Ramspot is said to have gone to
Minneapolis.
The Brownton man was recently in
Lake Crystal and identified Mrs. Hart
tum as the woman whom his brother
married.
County Attorney Wilson last evening
instructed the authorities not to boar d
Mrs. Harttum longer at the expense Of
the county. She visited his Office today
and in the course of an animated con-
versation admitted to him that she had
been living with one man while married
to another, that she had been in the
state prison, and that she had been in
the Ramsey county Jail several times.
