miral Sampson at his own request on

if he wished under the 40 years SER

he could apply for retirement to take
effect Immediately on account of poor
health, however, as naval officers gen.
orally take pride in serving out their

tended leave of absence will keep Ad-
miral Sampson on the active list un-

THREE LUNATICS BELIEVED
TO HAVE PERISHED.
THREE HUNDRED INMATES
Nearly All of Whom We're Taken
From Building in Their
Night Clothes.

Norfolk, Neb., Sept. 23.-The asy-
lum for the insane in this city was
completely destroyed by fire today.
It is believed that three of the in
mates were burned to death. The fire
originated, from some unknown cause,
in the west wing Of the institution.
The loss on the building and it's con-
tents will reach an amount estimated
at not less than $2500O0.
There were 300 inmates in the main
structure and the rescue of them was
extremely difficult.
All the books and valuable papers
and the asylum records were carried
from the building and saved intact.
A considerable amount of furniture
was also carried from the building
but the attendants lost all their cloth
ing.
Nearly all the patients were taken
from the burning structure in their
night clothes and suffered more or
less from the chilly air. About $50
of them were taken to Lincoln and
placed in the asylum at that place
The remainder of the patients will be
housed in the buildings that are still
in condition for use.

Feared.

Milwaukee, Sept. ga Sentinel
special from Kenosha, Wis, says:
William Herman, wealthy Chicago
man who came to Kenosha accompan-
led by young lady friend to attend
a funeral, is mysteriously missing.
After the young lady had been taken
to the home of a friend, Kenan went
down town to hire carriage for use
at the funeral.
It is claimed that Herman was seen
at o'clock this morning in company
with three men whose identity can
not be established.
The Chicago man is said to be
worth 100000 and when he came to
Kenosha he had large sum OF mon
ey on his person. Foul play is
feared.

exposition, QeScrlDeQ the ground HOOf
plan Of the Temple Of Music and was
followed by Perry A. Bliss, a photog-
rapher who presented views of the
interior Of the building. The remain
der of the afternoon was taken UP
with the testimony of three physi
clans, two of whom had attended the
president during the last days, while
the other performed the autopsy. The
latter, DR.. Harvey R. Gaylord, was the
first of the trio to be called. He de-
scribed the location of the wounds in
the stomach and the direction Of the
bullet. The cause Of death was at
tributed to the gunshot wound but,
fundamentally, he said, it was due to
the changes back of the stomach, in
the pancreas, caused by the breaking
down" of the material Of the pancreas
as result Of the passage of the bull
let.
DR.. Herman Mynter followed and
his testimony was of Importance mas
much as it brought out the fact that
the reason why the fatal bullet had
not been located at the autopsy was
because of the unwillingness of the
presidents relatives to have the body
further mutilated by their instru-
ments. DR.. Mynter and DR.. Mann,
who followed him, both testified that
the primal cause of death was the
gunshot wound in the stomach. One
effect Of this wound was, they said,
to cause gangrene to form in the
pancreas, and the spot of poisoned
tissue was as large as a silver dollar.
The prisoner Czolgosz during the
morning evidenced no interest what
ever in the proceedings, but, as the
evidence was introduced, he paid
more attention to whet was said, and
looked at the various witnesses close
ly
The probable duration of the trial
it is thought will be two days. Dis
trict Attorney Penney was asked BY
Justice White at noon as to the time
he would take in the presentation of
his case, he declared that he would
conclude by Tuesday noon. Judge
Titus for the defense, was non-com-
initial, however, and merely replied:
''That depends upon the turn things
take" 1t is not probable that any de.
fense will be put in, owing to the char.
acter of the prisoner and his refusal
to help his counsel in any way to Sc
cure evidence which they could use
| in his favor. The idea Of an attempt
to enter the question Of his sanity is
not thought of in view Of the reports
of the two specialists who have re
Gently examined him and there is
ground for the belief that the trial will
be concluded with session Of but
one day more.

FOR M'KINLEY MONUMENT
ASSOCIATION TO BE ORGANIZED
AND INCORPORATED.
Senator Hanna and Other Promi-
nent Ohio Men Meet end Start
the Movement.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 23.-Initial
steps were taken here today towards
the erection at Canton through pop
ular subscription of what it is hoped
will be fitting and magnificent mon
ument to the memory of the late
President Mckinley.
At a conference, attended by Sena-
tor Hama, Judge VIM. r. Day of Can
ton and Colonel Myron T. Herrick,
this afternoon, it was decided to at
once organize a commission that will
be national in it's scope to take charge
of the work. It is proposed to have
as members of this body representa-
tive citizens from all of the various
states of the union. The organization
will be chartered under the laws of
Ohio, and probably will be known as
"McKinley Memorial Association .
1t is proposed to locate the headquar-
ters of the commission in this city
and to have the organization perfect
ed within week or ten days and
fully prepared to take up the work.
Those interested in the matter ex-
press the belief that congress will,
at is coming session, make liberal
appropriation towards the erection OF
the monument, and this, together with
the very large sum that it is believed
will be subscribed by the people of
the country will be sufficient to build
splendid memorial in honor of the
martyred president.
