NINETEEN FIRE VICTIMS.
Two Eight Story Buildings Filled with
People.

feOplo.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 2S.-Nineteen,
persons were killed and property
valued at $4,000 destroyed as the
result of fire which occurred in the
business section of the city. The num-
Der of injured is not known definitely
but fully score of victims were To-
Gated at various hospitals.
The fire broke out in the middle Of
the forenoon. There is rumor that
an elevator constructor, with his Ian
tern was working near gaseous liquids
in the cellar, and that this caused the
fire. One hundred persons were ems
ployed in the upper stories and most Of
those killed were on the sixth floor.
The two buildings destroyed were
eight stories high. There were smaller
buildings burned and the fronts Of
stores opposite were damaged.
The loss is estimated at half a mil
lion dollars, most of which will fall on
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co., whose loss is
estimated at S250,00O Henry Cleas'
loss on the building is about $15O,000
William e. Potts & Son suffered a loss
of 500, 900, while other occupants of the
Potts building and surrounding prop
erty owners suffered losses aggregating
$25, 900.

.BR|GANDS ARE BULGAR|ANS.
Communication May Have Been
Effected With Them.
THE NEWS is NOT CONFIRMED.

Constantinople, Oct 9s.-Communica-
ton has been established from Mink,
province of Salonica, with the brigands,
who abducted Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
American missionary, and her COM
panion, Mrs. Tsilka.
G. M. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent
or envoy of the United States, in Bull
garia, as well as consul general at Con-
stantinople said in an interview:
The brigands who attacked Miss
Stones party were disguised in Turk
ish fese and cloalks during the attack
and thus revealed their uniform, that
of the Macedonian committee. They
were recognized, too, as Bulgarians.
Moreover, they spoke poor Turkish,
but good Bulgarian and ate ham and
bacon.
Sofia, Bulgaria.-It is semi-officially
asserted that no indication has yet been
found of Miss Stones kidnappers hav-
ing been in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian
government is determined to annihilate
the band should it cross the frontier,
and will deal with the utmost severity
with any Bulgarians whose completely
in the kidnapping shall be proved.
Great resentment is felt here at the
exploitation to the discredit of Bulgaria
of crime committed in another state.
Washington.-No facts could be
CLEANED at the state department to
encourage hope in the case of Miss
Stone. The department does not know
as yet that communication has been
re-estahlished between her brigand
captors and the missionary agents who
are trying to arrange for her ransom.
For the first time in four days, the de-
partment heard from it's agents in
bulgaria, but the report simply went
to confirm some of the facts already
published respecting the Macedonian
committees supposed to have connec-
ton with the affair.

NEW STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Building TO Commence Soon on the Fort
Hays Reservation.

Topeka, Oct 26.-The title of the
state of Kansas to the Fort Hays mill
tary reservation has been approved by
the secretary of the interior, and the
souatters on the land have been ordered
to move off. Just short time previous
to the ceding of the land to the state
by the government, a number OF men
filed homesteads on the reservation and
set up the claim that they had prior
right to the land over the state. The
reservation was coded to the state with
the provision that it be made into a
public park and that a branch normal
college and an agricultural experiment
station be established there. These
provisions the state could not carry out
until the title to the land was perfected
and the matter was taken before the
secretary of the interior. 1t is under
stood arrangements will at once be
made to erect the necessary buildings
for the normal school and the expert
ment station, and that these institu-
tions will be opened next fall. They
will be under the supervision OF the
board of regents of the state agricul-
tural college and the State Normal
school.

international Correspondence.

Topeka, Oct. 2s.-The system of in
ternational correspondence between
school children of this country With
those of foreign countries is beginning
to prove a popular one and the idea has
taken deep root upon the minds of the
educators of the state. Since the sue
cess of the experiment tried by the
scholars of one of the Topeka schools
in correspondence with the scholars
of school in Scotland, at the sug-
gestion of John Macdonald of the
Western School Journal, a number of
schools of the state have decided upon
adopting the plan.

Store Order Law Upheld.

Washington, Get. 23.-In the United
States supreme court two opinions were
handed down by Justice Shiras, sus-
tanning the state law of Tennessee,
making store orders redeemable in cash.
The case was appealed from the decis-
on of the supreme court of the state
and that decision which sustained the
law was upheld. One of the opinions
upheld the law as applied to state cor
5orations and the other as applied to
foreign corporations. Justices Brewer
and Peckham assented in both cases.

Advocates Consolidation.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 26.-Auditor L..
w. Baxter, also territorial superinten-
dent of schools, is advocating the idea
of consolidating school districts in Ok
lahoma for the purpose of having
better schools. He feels that in no
other manner can the schools be raised
to the proper standard unless by CEN
tralization. This would, in time, give
the pupils every benefit of a graded
school and would in fact make a graded
school equal to the graded schools i;
the Oklahoma towns.
