The Russian Agreement.

Washington, March 16.-Our gov
obtain anything like an official state
ment OF the contents of the alleged
agreement between Russia and China
respecting the protectorate over Man
churia. The opposition to the Russian
move has not crystallized up to this
moment, but it is felt that there is
every prospect of consummation of
the agreement, unless the other pow
ers, which now hang undecided, speed
lily come to determination to op-
pose it. In view of this impending
crisis, the officials here would regard
as of secondary Importance the ne
gotiations at Pekin respecting the in
IDENTITIES and punishments were 1t
not for the belieI that there is great
danger by undue insistence by. the
ministers at Pekin upon the collec-
tion of impossible indemnities and
the continuance of punitive measures.
The United States government will
be obliged in difference to public SEN
timent here to MAINTAIN an attitude
of exast neutrality and withhold any
assistance that might otherwise be
reasonably requested, in the greater
purpose of checking the cOnsumma-
ton of an agreement which is almost
certain to result in the partition of
China. So, as already stated, Special
Commissioner ROckhill is acting
under the instructions of the depart
ment, doing his best to keep the de-
mands of the ministers within the
bounds of the ABILITY Of the Chinese
government to meet, thereby follow
ing the consistent policy of the de-
partment, laid down as far back as
last summer.

Canal Route,


WASHINGTON, March 15.-Senor
Martinez Silvela, minister of foreign
anairs for the republic of Colombia
and at present accredited as Colon.
Dlan minister to Washington. had an.
other conference with Secretary Hav
tonight in connection with the in.
formal discussion concerning the Pan
anna canal route lying within Colombia.
1t cannot be said that any formal ne
EQUATIONS are under way, or even are
open, but the presence of Silvela here
at this time gives assurance that if
there is any disposition on the part
or the American authorities to take
up the canal question with the Colon
Dlan government, the latter is now
disposed to remove any obstacles on
her part in the way of adoption of
that route. 1t is recognized that there
are three parties to any negotiations
which would be undertaken-namely.
the United States government, the
colombian government and the French
company. The purpose is to see IL
there Is any means of reconciling the
interests and of disposing of all three
parties. DR.. Silvela said today that
the French projectors had a conces-
sion which had been renewed for six
years, but IL the American government
desired the Panama route, he said,
there can be an arrangement effected
to meet the requirements set forth in
the recent report of the Walker COM
mission.

sAMPsoN.scHLEY CONTROVERSY
Recurrence Likely Over Design Of
Medals for Santiago Heroes.

Recurrence Likely Over Design Of
Medals for Santiago Heroes.
NEW YORK, March ia special
from Washington says: Naval circles
are deeply interested in the designs
to be placed by the navy upon the
bronze medals to be awarded to Of
ficers who distinguished themselves
during the war and subsequently.
Officers and men who participated in
the battle of Manila bay received a
medal, on one side of which was the
profile in bas-relief of Admiral Dewey.
Some of the friends of Rear Admiral
Sampson urge that the medal to be
given to officers who participated in
the Santiago battle should have the
profile of that officer. In order to pre-
vent any controversy on the subject,
Secretary Long has referred the mat
ter to the board of awards, of which
Assistant Secretary Hackett is chair
man. None of the members of this
board participated in the West Indian
operations, with the exception OF
Rear Admiral Watson, who has taken
no part in the Schley-Sampson con.
troversy.
In addition to awarding medals to
the officers and men who served with
distinction in the Santiago campaign
Secretary Long, in accordance with
the authority granted him, will con
fer medals upon officers and men who
participated in the Samoan, Chinese
and Philippines campaigns.

She May Be Obliged to Pay for Dam.
ages in Samoa.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Germany's
responsibility for the troubles that oc.
Cured in Samoa three years ago, and
resulted in the killing of American
and British officers and men and the
partition of the Samoan islands will
be determined by King Oscar of Nor
way and Sweden.
According to a special to the Her.
aid from Washington, Great Britain
and Germany have completed their
briefs of the property claims filed by
the subjects of each, which grew out
of the military operations of the Eng
lish and American forces. The state
department at Washington has prac'
tically completed it's brief. The docu.
ment will not be made public until
submitted to the royal arbitrator, but
it is understood that while it, docs not
directly mention the part Germany
played in the Samoan troubles, there
are pointed references to the activity
of certain foreign agents. These
references are to be reinforced by an
attorney, VINO will be sent to Stock
holm as the American representative
II the American contention should be
established, Germany would have to
pay damages to both Great Britain
and the United States for losses sus-
tanned in Samoa.
During the Samoan troubles, Great
Britain acted In concert with the
United States and was disposed to
hold Germany responsible. Whether
after the change in the relations, she
is willing to reassert the views then
entertained, is a question that will be
determined only when her brief is
submitted.

Vlcrlh OF LIVE WIRE.
One Fireman Killed, Three Others
Badly Hurt.

PlTTSBURG, Pa. March 19.-Dur.
Ing the progress Of fire today at the
corner Of Duquesne Way and Fort
street. one man lost his life and three
others were badly nurt. The property
loss will be fully 25O,OOO, well insured.
The fire broke out in the boiler room
of the Hiram w. French Company's
hair felt factory. just opposite the
main exposition building. Through
some confusion, no alarm was turned
in for some time, and 1t was fully 20
minutes after the fire was discovered
before the engines reached the scene.
From the felt factory the flames
jumped across the street, and in a
very short time the exposition build
ing was burning fiercely. All the fire.
men could do was to prevent the
flames spreading. After hard work,
this was accomplished, and machinery
hall, with its valuable contents, saved.
The main building was complete
wreck.
Two lumber yards adjoining the felt
factory soon succumbed. Gallagher G.
Banker lost 100000 feet of lumber,
and Henry Henk $4,000 feet of valu.
able hardwood. Three small dwell.
ings near the lumber yards were de-
stroyed, but, SO far as known, all the
inmates escaped.
William Miller and his fellow fire.
men were victims of live wire. The
intense heat melted the network of
wires running in every direction, and
one of them in falling struck trolley
wire, the other end crossing the brass
nozzle of the hose held by Miller and
Snyder. Both men fell as though
they had been shot. Sheckler and
Griffith, in going to- the rescue. were
also caught, and were badly burned.
When the PROSTATE men were reached,
Miller was dead, and two of the others
unconscious.

ances following the demonstrations
promoted by university students the

school entered the courtyard of the
institution to hold meeting, and
the police inscribed their names. The
mining academy is already entirely
closed.

who ever since his accommodation
has been loudly cheered whenever he
has made his appearance, is taking
an active part In the disturbances at
Moscow, where the situation Is com
plicated by strike of the operatives
of several large factories.

BOSTON. March 1S.-Three lives

or less injured, and many thousands
of dollars of damage were the results
of fire In the Daily Advertiser and
Records seven-story. gray front build
Ing In Newspaper Row tonight.
How the fire started is not known.
but 1t was first seen In the pressroom.
II spread to the elevator well, and
darted to the top so rapidly that be-
fore the occupants of the two upper
floors were aware that the building
was on fire their rooms were filled
with flames and smoke.
In the editorial rooms on the sixth
floor there were but fve men. All
had to run for their lives. On the
upper floor, occupied by the compos-
Ing room, were 18 composers and
proofreaders, whose situation was
most critical. Panic stricken, they
rushed for the windows leading to
the fire escapes, and all but three of
them succeeded In gaining the roof
Of an adjoining building. Long lad
ders were raised as quickly as the
network of electric wires over the
street would permit, but before a lad
der could be placed in position the
men had dropped through a skylight
in the adjoining roof and reached
places of safety. Except In the press
room In the basement there was prac-
tically no fire In the building below
the fifth story. No one was In the
pressroom at the time the fire started
except the fireman, who had not been
seen up to late hour. 1t took three
hours of work to drown out the fire.
The three victims were suffocated
before they had time to reach the
fire escapes.
Late tonight the loss was estimated
at $150,000, with little insurance.

DEWET IS INSANE.
Statement Made by Prisoners Lately
Released.

Released.
BLOEMFONTEIN. March 1S.-Pris-
oners who have lately been released
by General Dewet say they think he
is madman. They aver that the ter.
rible fatigues he has undergone, his
anxiety and the intensity of his feel.
ings have unbalanced his mind. Apart
from this view of Dewet's mental state,
some of his peculiarities are that he
rarely sleeps within the bounds of his
camp. He seeks rest outside with
few trusted followers. Thus the or.
derlies of his subordinate commanders
are frequently unable to find him to
receive orders His secrecy is ex.
treme. He absolutely imparts his
plans to no one. Dewet repudiates
the peace negotiations which are go
ing on. He declares openly to the men
that no terms except independence
will satisfy him. A recent utterance
attributed to him Is that, after the
British, he hated, the Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of Dewet during the
last two or three days Is unknown,
nor is 1t known whether President
Steyn il with him.

TOWN WIPED OUT.
CIoverport, ky., Burned and 1000 Per.
sons Rendered Homeless.

CLOVERPORT, KY, March 16.-
The bursting of natural gas pipe at
midnight started rire that destroyed
part Of this little town was COM
pletely wiped out, and over 1000 per-
sons, about one-half the population,
are homeless, and were in great dis
tress until special relief train from
Louisville reached here. The heaviest
loser is the American Tobacco Com
pany, which lost two large stemmeries
and 100000 pounds of tobacco. The
company's loss has not been esti-
mated. Bucket brigades were formed
and men and women alike fought the
flames valiantly, but to no purpose.
Exhausted women and children hud-
died in little groups, wherever shelter
could be found, from the biting cold
of the night and early morning.
Neighboring towns were asked for
assistance in fighting the fire, but
before it could be rendered, the high
wind mad swept the flames through
the place, making the devastation
complete.
AS soon as the management of the
Louisville, Henderson & st. Louis
railroad learned that hundreds of peo-
pie were homeless, they ordered avail
able coaches between Louisville and
Henderson hurried to ClOverport, and
there the unfortunates will, for the
time being, make their homes. The
management also sent 5000 loaves OF
bread and other food. Not a store was
left in the town where a mouthful of
food could be obtained. Adjutant
General Murray telegraphed that 500
tents bad been shipped from Frank
fort and the authorities at Louisville
wired that a trainload of relief sup
plies quickly gathered would leave at
noon.
