PRISON IN RUINS
Fire Makes Almost Total
Wreck Of Nebraska
Penitentiary.

Lincoln, Neb., March 1.-The Ne
braska state penitentiary is in ruins.
The fire, which started last midnight,
destroyed the cell house and the entire
main building and the loss will not be
less than 5000, 900 and will probably
exceed that amount. The building
was practically new. The only build-
ing saved was the east wing, occupied
by the warden, the chapel and a small
reserve cell room.
Precautions have been taken to
guard the prisoners, who were removed
under extra guard without difficulty.
Lieutenant Governor Savage has ar
ranged for a sufficient number of ma
tional guards to remain at the peni-
Tertiary to prevent escapes being
made.
One convict, Geo. Pfenger, lost his
life. He was marched from his cell
with the others and had marched out
with the ward, but had gone back to
get some personal effects. Today his
body was found in the ruins of his cell.
Pfenger was serving sentence for the
murder of his wife.

DODCES THE POINT
Obscure Reply to Query
Concerning an Important
Matter,

London, March During a ques-
ton in the house of commons today,
Charles P. Scott, liberal, asked Bal
four at what time in 1899 the govern
ment was informed that if war ensued
between the Transvaal and Great
Britain as a result of the difficulties
which were made apparent at the
Bloemfontien conference, the Orange
Free State would undoubtedly throw
in her lot with her sister republic.
Balfour's reply, as taken down by
stenographers, was as follows: "All
the information we have on this sub
ject is, necessarily, a matter Of opin-
ion, and therefore conjeotural in it's
character, or else is contained in the
statements of ex-President Steyn, in
which case, unfortunately, it is men
dacious." This announcement brought
forth cries of "Oh'' and others from
the members opposing and Balfour
dropped the subject.
Balfour's reply was regarded as OBJ
scure and it was explained in his be-
half that he was not referring to any
thing specific, but alluded generally to
Steyn's statements.
