The fire started at 545 a. m. from an
unknown cause, in the Maddox store,
and was suddenly spread to all parts OF
the building by a tremendous explos-
ion, presumably of oil and syrup. The
flames famed by high wind, soon
spread to adjoining buildings and We're
beyond control of the department, fif-
teen minutes after the entire fighting
force had been brought to the scene.
The firemen were hampered by insult
flcient water pressure and We're kept
away from the buildings by frequent
explosions of kerosene, molaSseS and
powder in the different establishments.
The explosion sent burning rafters in
every direction and perceptibly weaken
ed the fire walls in the big block, erect
ed. only four years ago. 1t was noon be-

NINTH CHALLENGES COURTS DECISIONS
Il Charges That the Judges COnspirsd to Dis

Declaring Void lis Acts and
Violating Its Laws

The managers chosen by the House TO
irnpeach Judges Furches and Douglas
held a meeting last night and discussed
the articles of impeachment that are to
he submitted TO the House and sent to
the Senate.
They were assisted by three of their
attorneys: Maj. VIM A. Guthrie, Mr..
James II. Pou and Mr.. c. b.. Watson
Mr.. Watson will help prepare the ar
ticles of impeachment but he is not yet
certain that his engagement will permit
OF his being present during the trial OF
the case at the bar of the Senate.
The articles of Impeachment, as now
drafted are nine in number.
Eight of them set out in detail the facts
in regard TO the Issuance of the man
damus and the specific parts of the con-
stitution and statutory laws that We're
violated thereby.
The ninth article challenges the de-
cisions of the court in all the office
holding cases from the Day case to and
including, of course, the White case. 1t
declares that the court conspired to
discredit the work of the Legislature
and usurp it's power ny declaring null
and void its acts and taking money
from the treasury in direct and open
defiance of a law passed to prevent it.
and in violation of the constitution of
the State.
These nine articles make quite a long
document, and at last nights meeting of
the managers and prosecuting attorneys
they We're taken up and carefully gone
over section by section.
They may possibly be ready to pre-
sent today, as the managers hold anoth-
er conference this morning, but the
prospects are that they will not get to
the Senate before tomorrow morning.
They will first have to be passed on by
the House.
Gov. Jarvis, leading counsel for the
judges. was asked yesterday if he was
preparing his defense. He replied:
I'VE cannot make any defense until
we see the Indictment. When the ar
ticles of impeachment are presented we
shall know what charges we will have to
defend ourselves against"
1t was reported here that Capt. Chas.
Price would be of counsel for the judges
this, however, he denied last night.

Qorince of Wales RoyaD Lancers, now
in South Africa, has filed a suit for di-
vorce against his wife, Mabel Louisa
Atherton, naming the Duke of West
minister as correspondent.
The case cannot be aired in court for
some months and the friends of the just
married Duke may yet succeed in COM
promising the matter.
Maj. Atherton is reported to have al
ready refused a check for 10000 pounds
sterling as compensation for the injury
he is said to have sustained. King Ed-
ward is said to be among those trying
TO arrange a settlement.

have one son, born in 1899. Mrs. Ather~
ton is a good looking, stylish woman,
about 80 year of age She belongs to
London's smart set. Mrs. Atherton was
at the Modder River camp with other
women. Her husband was stationed
there and the Duke. then Lord Bel
grave, and the brother of well known
South African millionaire. whose nam"

hasalso been mentioned with that of Mrs.
Atherton returned TO England in Octo-
ber and via the Island of Madeira
where she took passage on a steamer
which was taking the Duke of West
minister home. They arrived in London,
November 3rd. Since then the Duka'e
family has been engaged in an attempt
to precent the case getting into the
courts.
G. +. Hatfield, the Duke of Westmin-
ster's lawyer, refused eitheE to confirm
or deny the rumor that the Duke OF
Westninsters family had already paid
any money to hush the scandal up.

that citation for the Duke has already

through the use of Imperfect Spanish
charts. Not one of the twenty-five cases
referred TO, IL they in fact existed, had
been caused by negligence.
Mr.. Hepburn returned TO his arraign-
ment and gave a detailed list of naval
casualties, covering lengthy period.
After further sparring the point OF or
der against the Sherman amendment was

Mr.. Fitzgerald (Mass.) offered an
amendment approprlating $4,000 for the
entertainment of President Kruger on the

Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark.) sprang a sensation
by asserting that j. J.. Constantine, the
telegrapher Of tho House, was not getting
the pay of the telegrapher. but that
another man was drawing that while
Constantine was drawing the pay of
another position. Constantine was on the
rolls as a teamster.
Mr.. Berry (Ky.) explained that Mr..
Constantine. as telegrapher at 81 200 had
drawn that salary until three years ago,
when It had been reduced to $50 per
month. The 5000 appropriation in this bill
was TO bring his pay up to the salary OF
the position. The debate proceeded fast
and furious. Mr.. Bailey charged outright
that for four years employees of the
House had been compelled to divide their
salaries with those who did no work
at ALL
Mr.. Bailey then pointed ont that the
man who was on the rolls as telegraph
er, but also was performing service in the
library, was to be the recipient under an
item in the bill of $400 in addition to the
81 200 he drew as telegrapher.
Mr.. Steele (Rep.. Ind) explained that
the gentleman in question had come here
TO become telegrapher at 81 600. but yield
ed the position to the man then tcleg-
rapher upon Mr.. Berry's appeal.
Mr.. Fleming Dem., Ga.l then an
nounced that until the committee of in
vestigation which Mr.. Bailey would ask
for reported he would object to all the
items for extra services in the bill, and
they went out on points of order
Mr.. Mercer (Rep.. Neb.) offered the
omnibus public building bill. but Mr.. Can
non raised point of order against the
amendment, and it was sustained by the
Chair.
Mr.. Olmsted (Rep., Pa.) offered an
amendment TO provide that no money ap-
propriated in the bill should be paid TO
any cadet at Annapolis or West Point,
who had been guilty of brutal form of
haziag The amendment was adopted.
This completed the bill, which was then
passed.
Mr. Bailey then asked unanimous con-
sent for the consideration of his resolu-
tion OF investigation by a non partisan
committee. 1t was referred to the Rules
Committee and at O'Clock the House ad

not comply with the request because nc

FLOUR MILLS CLOSED.-Four mills OF

There is every probability that nearly all
mills will be closed before the end OF the

partly from temporary depression in the

from the shortage of cars I'm the North

RUSSIAN COTTON WANTED
TO sUPERsEDE THE. AMERICAN
PRODUCT ON GERMAN LOOMS.
Duke Buys German Cigarette Fac
~Asin-Saint Joan of Arc.

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-A newly-formed East
Asiatic society, whose purpose is the pro-
motion of German interests in Asia, dis
cussed the possibility of breaking the
American cotton monopoly by the introduce
ton of the Russian product grown in ter
ritory east Of the Caspian sea. at a meet
ing held to-day. DR.. August Etienne read
a paper before the meeting affirming that
the Caspian sea territory already supplies
nearly half Of Russia's requirements in
cotton. He said that as a result Of special
Investigations he was convinced the CEN
trail Asian cotton output could be indie
fnitely extended, and that 1t would be a
good thing for Germany If Russia became
an exporter of cotton, not only because
Germany would thus become less depend
ent upon the United States, but because,
since Russia constituted such an important
market for German manufactures il would
be desirable to take Russian cotton for
manufacturing purposes.
General Won der Goltz, the president of
the society, who. while he was acting as
r-eorganizer of the Turkish army. had spe-
cial opportunities for becoming acquainted
with Asiatic Turkey and the countries ly-
ing beyond il, said that he doubted the
probability of Its soon being possible to
overcome the obstacles to a large cotton
production in the territory in question.

IN HIS w BEHALF.
Alexander Sullivan Testifes and De-
MES All Charges Against Him.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-Alexander Sullivan
took the witness stand to-day in his own
defense of the charge of conspiracy. and
unequivocally denied all the charges
against him. The greater part of his testi-
mOny related TO his coming to Chicago,
working as a reporter or several Chicago
papers and finally going into law. He said
he knew James Lynch. also Frederick ST.
John and George p. Murray. He said he
knew st. John to be an emplOye Of the
West Chicago City Railway, but denied
any conspiracy with him to keep Lynch
from the jurisdiction of the court. Sullivan
admitted that he knew Sam COughlin, Of
the Cronin murder case notoriety, but de-
MED ever having had dealings with him.
He denied also any connection with the
Grinnell case, and disclaimed connection
with the jury selecting procedure in cases
where there was jury bribing.
Before Mr.. Sullivan took the stand Judge
Hutchinson testified in his behalf as a
Moran, who was Sullivan's attorney in the
the same purpose. Mr.. Moran said he had
heard nothing derogatOry to the defend
ants character prior to the "outburst" of
the jury bribing trial two years ago. Cross
examination brought out the comment by
the former judge that he meant the terms
honesty and integrity in a strictly tech
nical sense, and that further than that he
would not go. He said the Cronin murder
case had brought out a great deal of COM
ment on the defendants character, as did
the Hanford trials.
