Landing on the Island Thirty Years Ago He Was Thought a Demi-God
 
WHITE SKIN OAzzLED NATIVES
Savannah Woman Receives Word That Her Husband, Formerly Cap tain o'kee:e, Has Died and
 Left Her $1,ooo,ooo

Savannah, December 6.-Mrs. Catherine OKeefe of this city, received today letter from Joseph Michaels of Tap, Caro- line Islands, advising her of the prob able loss at sea of her husband, Capt. David O'Keefe, and the fact that he had left property worth probably HoOo.- 00O
 Michaels has applied to the American consul at Hong Kong to protect O Keefe's property. Mrs. O'Keefe has engaged d law firm to look out for her interests.
 David O'Keefe was known in the ori- ental trade as King" OKeefe of Tap. which island he virtually owned. When O'Keefe first landed at Yap thirty years ago the canibal natives thought him a demi-God on account of his white skin and made him their king. He built up Q profitable trade to Hong Kong and owned two barks that traded between Caroline and Chinese ports. Last June he went to Hong Kong with copera and other native products, from which point he sent his wife in this city a check for $1500
 After leaving Hong Kong his vessel disappeared and is supposed to have been lost in a storm.
 King OKeefe was 56 years of age, and native of this city.

FIRE KILLS TWO
 AND INJURIES SEVEN
NINE MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY MAKE A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH-FATHER RESCUES HIS CHILDREN FROM DEATH.

Pittsburg, December 6.-Two persons were burned to death and seven injured in fire at Carnegia, Pa, this morn ing. The dead are:
 Mrs. Mary Klee, aged 42; Mary Klee, aged g.
 The injured are: Samuel Klee, aged 50; Ida Klee, aged 20; Anna Klee, aged IT; Eva Klee. aged IA; Eva Klee. aged 10; Jenny Klee, agen 6; and Harry Klee. aged 4.
 The Klee residence Is two-story frame house in Broadway, the ground floor be- ing devoted to a grocery store kept by Klee, and the rest of the house being oc- cupied by the family.
 The fire was discovered about 4:4O o'clock this morning by the grocery clerk Morrs Fizses. He immediately gave the alarm. but the flames spread 50 rapidly that the occupants of the upper story were shut off from the stairway, and Klee and his wife realized that there was but one way to save the children, and that was to throw them from the win dow, a distance of about twenty feet
 One by one the children were brought to the front window, and dropped to the ground by the father. All of them were more or less seriously injured but all es- capped death from the flames except Mary. By the time Harry, the baby, was reached. not only was the father ex- hausted with his exertions and the ter rife conditions under which he worked, but the flames were fast making his ef- forts impossible. When he was able to get Harry, it was found that fire had already scorched him, and the little ones face, feet and hands were blistered and burned. He was snatched rom the flames just in time. and 1t Is thought he will survive.
 After rescuing his baby. the father looked around for his wife. whom he had missed from his side for some time. Un- able to locate her, he called to those he had saved, for the purpose of ascertain ing if she had joined them. She had not, and the husband became almost distract ed with fear and panic. It seems. how ever, that while the father was rescuing the youngest and most helpless child, she was making an attempt to save the life of Mary. and In doing so gave lip her own life
 The house was entirely destroyed.
 The cherred remains of the mother and daughter were found in the ruins side by side. Both had been overcome by the smoke before they could escape from the room.
 When the firemen arrived the father re- fused to leave the building without his wife and child, and the f1remen were com. pefled to forcibly carry him from the burning building.

MASSACHUSETTS, REPRESENTA- TIVE WANTS TO KNOW IF LOUIS iANA MEMBERS ARE ENTITLED
 TO sEATs-WHAT ABOUT MASS?

Washington, December 6.--The proposi- tion of MT. Moody of Massachusetts for a Congressional investigation of the right of Louisiana members of Congress to hold their seats today drew a rejoinder from Representative Fleming of Georgia, who presented a resolution for the inves- tigation of the right of the Massacnu- setts members of Congress to hold their seats. MT. Moodys resolution asserted that a certain class of voters were dis franchised In Louisiana, thus invalidating the election of Louisiana representatives. MT. Fleming's resolution in part recites:
 Whereas, The constitution of the State of Massachusetts. in contravention of the provision of the Federal constitution, inn poses additional qualifications for suffrage by declaring that no person shall have the right to vote who shall not be able to read the constitution in the English language and write his name.
 Resolved, That when the said select committee shall be appointed 1t shall be charged with the further duty to inquir- ing and reporting by bill ir otherwise, whether the represent atives from the State of Massachusetts are entitled to membership in this.

UNITED STATES A
 DEBTOR COUNTRY
THE TIMES SAYS THAT IN SPITE OF THE LARGE BALANCE OF TRADE IN ITS FAVOR IT OWES MONEY.

New York, December GA special to the New York Times says: The fnan- cial editor of the Times in discussing the foreign credit of the United States, dwells on the fact that in spite of the large apparent balance of trade in favor of the United States against Europe, the balance has really been the other way, because of the borrowing necessitated by the enormous consolidation and other schemes in process of execution by Am erican capitalists
 The United States, says the article, owes less abroad than 1t did, but it is still debtor country, and must remain so far many years to come, temporary appearances to the contrary notwith- standing. Therefore New York exchange except for a brief period. has been in favor of London. .-s4 - .-
 The writer reviews the conditions pre- ceding and following the Wall Street panic last spring. He then goes on to say that prices have been pretty we'll maintained since; but that "the steam was out of the rise," although those strongly desiring it's continuance were not willing to admit the fact. The article proceeds:
 Endeavors were made to keep up the delusion that the rise had been only temporarily checked and that it would soon be resumed. The great prosperity of the United States was pointed to as evidence that prices would go much high er and the belief that the United States was wealthy in the sense that the United Kingdom and France are wealthy, name ly. in the possession of large quantities of cash or securities readily convertible into cash, was steadily upheld.
 It does not seem to have occurred to those who hold these views that no na- ton, however prosperous, can pass over In two or three years from a state of be- ing largely dependent on money borrow ed from abroad to one of being a large lender to foreign countries"

Washington, December 6.-(Special.)- Collector Bingham of Birmingham had an interview with the President this morning in relation to his candidacy for another four-year term.
 The President has reached no conclu- sion upon this position, and 1t is praeti- cally in the same unsettled condition as other offices in the state.
 J. F. Morton. who was appointed dur ing the recess. is, however. generally con- ceded out of the race.
 The President is obtaining all the infor- nation possible regarding the Alabama situation. The advice given him has been of such conflicting nature that 1t will be several days before he will take any &C., ton in the matter.
 The postmaster general said today that the Birmingham postoffice case would be reached in a week or ten days. and that the President was as yet undecided as to
