The Jefferson, at Richmond, Va,
Burned, But no Lives Lost.

RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-The JET
ferson hotel. this city, which was
erected and furnished by the late Louis
Glnter at a cost Of 100000. was de-
stroyed By fire. The magnificent
structure covered half q, block In the
uItra-fashionabIe part OF the city, and
was built OF bun brick on q granite
foundation.
The hameg were discovered IN the
upper part OF the Main-street side
shortly before midnight, and In short
time that part Of the building was
roaring furnace. The guests who were
first driven Cut cf the Main street
portion Of the hotel took refuge in the
lobby on the FrankIin-sfreet side.
There was much excitement, espe-
cially among the women, many OF
whom had retired for the night.
Many persons lost ali their effects.
No one perfshed In the flames. The
fire started in the linen room from a
defective hue. The insurance is
about S650,00O. All the surrounding
houses are filed with property taken
from the hotel. There has been some
looting, and several arrests have been
made. There were IN the hotel many
works OF art, including Valentines
marble statue of Jefferson. which
stood in the Franklin-street court.
This statue was broken.
Immediately upon the discovery Of
the fire, which was eating into the
ceiling Of the linen room, the hotel
fire apparatus was brought into play,
but the hose burst. Attendants then
dashed through the building awaken
ing the guests, many of whom were
sleeping and had to be dragged out
Of bed. Most Of the guests on the
Frankiin-street end of the hotel saved
their baggage, and finally the Jefferson
statue was gotten out. with the head
broken on. The guests In the part
where the fire started lost their bag
gage. and many OF them lost all their
clothes. Owing to the height of the
building. the fire department was at a
great disadvantage. The fire made
an immense blaze. and practically
awakened the entire city. There were
Sc thrilling escapes, the halls and
staircases being numerous and wide.

HONG KONG, March 30.--It is re-
ported from Canton that the activity
OF the French Is greatly increasing In
the neighborhood OF that city. Two
steamers ply between Hong Kong and
Canton. and gunboats are much in
evidence on the Chinese waterways.
II is also reported that two steamers
are being built in France to run be-
tween Hong Kong and Canton, and
that France intends to subsldize the
carrying Of the mails, 1t is also ex.
pected that French postofIice win
open In Canton about April /.
Objections have been lodged to the
plying OF the steam launches under
the tricolor. Chinese captains now
fly the tricolor with an addition OF
three small stars. which are inyisi.
BILE shore distance away, and as
result, 1t Is said, the Chinese people
imagine they are still under the tri.

influence is gaining It is also re-
ported that French hospital was
opened at Shameen some months
back for. the purpose Of receiving Chi.
nese patients. All this aids French
influence and prestige.

pCCtSG 70 ouEFSHusfs
MANILA, April 1.-Aguinald0 is

in wing Of the Malacanan palace.
He is in charge OF Captain BENJAMIN
H. Randolph and Lieutenant Gilbert

artillery.
wore plain dark blue suit with the
coat closely buttoned up at the throat
and wide white helmet with leather
band. He takes his capture philo-
sophically. He is generally cheerful.
but sometimes moody. His health
during the past year has been very
good. 1t is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume. Certain visitors
are permitted to see Aguinaldo, but
newspaper interviews with the pris-
oner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domicsIed
at the Malacanan palace, persons not
provided with special permits have
been denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces in Southern Luzon,
who recently surrendered to the Amer
lean authorities, visited Aguinaldo,
and told the latter why he had sur
rendered. Trias said that continu-
ance of armed opposition to the United
States was unjustitiable and ruinOus;
that the independence of the Philip
pines was impossible, and that the Fill
ipinos had better accept liberty, pros
perity and progress under American
rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, follow
ing the surrender of General Trias,
viii probably occasion the surrender
OF the insurgent leader Malavar in
Batangas province, Luzon; Bellarmino,
in Albay province, Luzon. and Luc-
ban, in the island of Samar within q
month. Many people visited the resi-
dence of General and Mrs. Funston on
the Gale Rell. in the suburb of Ermita.
The general modestly declined to talk.
Mrs. Funston was evidently the hap
piest woman in the Philippine islands.
General Funston has been recon-
mended for the highest practicable re-
ward. 1t is believed here that he win
receive an appointment of brigadier
general in the regular army.

While the president speaks well Of

ordinate to Hitchcock, in view Of the

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 28.-Early in the pres

q long gray beard, canvassed the town
for the purpose Of selling honey.
AT various homes where he called he
told the busy housewife that away out
in California he owned a farm, upon
which he kept several hundred stands of
bees and that his business here was to
sell the honey. which he said was ex-
tracted from the comb and put up in
ordinary milk bottles.
Looked Good to Them.
He exhibited samples of his goods
wherever he called, which /oked very
inviting to his prospective customers,
and seldom missed making sale.
When taking his orders he announced
that the honey had been shipped here in
bulk and that he would fill the bottles
and make deliveries later.
THE honey arrived one day last week
and deliveries were made promptly, but
it turned out that the alleged honey was
nothing more than a good quality OF
glucose.
The old man made a good clean w
from the people he victimized.
He hasn't been seen since.
