Boston, Mass, March 15.-Threc lives
sacrificed, nearly dozen men moro or
less injured and many thousands of dol
lars damage we're the results Of fierce
fire in the Daily Advertiser and Record
seven story granite front building in
Newspaper Row tonight The dead are:
JAMES RICHARDSON. SR., proof read
er, of Boston.
JUDSON CRAFT, proof reader, of Cam
bridge.
WALLER LUscoMB, proof reader, of
Salem.
How the fire started is not known, but
it was first seen in the press room and
it spread to the elevators we'll and darted
to the top so rapidly that before the oc-
cupants of the two upper floors were
aware that the building was on fire, their
rooms were filled with flames and smoke.
In the editorial room on the sixth floor.
there we're but five men. All had to run
for their lives. On the upper floor, occu-
pied by the composing room we're eighteen
compositors and proof readers, whose sit
uation 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 ad-
joining building.
LO0B Iduu6TS were TdlSeu dS QuIChIy do
the network of electric light wires over
the street would permit but before lad
der could be placed the men had dropped
through skylight in the building roof
and reached places of safety. Except in
the press room in the basement there
was practically nc fire in the building be-
low the fifty story. No one was in the
press room 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. Three victims, all proof
readers were suffocated before they had
time to reach the fire escapes. Those
who found the bodies were obliged to
jump several feet to the roof of the
adjoining building, and in this way
quite number of them sustained in
juries. AS soon as it was seen that
the resources of The Advertiser and
Record for issuing the editions of their
papers regularly were destroyed, offers
of assistance were received from the
propretors of all the ether newspapers
in the city.
Managing Editor Underwood says it
is impossible to estimate the loss until
the actual damage to the presses is as
certained.

A COLOSSAL SCHEME
Gigantic Southwestern Rail-
road System in View.
The GouIds TO MAXI the Missouri Pacific Par
emf of a Line Covering Nearly SIX.
teen Thousand Miles.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

Chicago, March 15.-The Times Herald
tomorrow Will say:
Events of the past few weeks have
made it certain that the Missouri Pacific
is shortly to c made the greatest sys-
tenn of the Southwest. With the Missouri
Pacific as the nucleus a system will be
built up and placed under one manage
ment extending from Buffalo to New Or
leans, Eel Paso and Salt Lake City. Such
is the plan which is being worked out
by the Gould family and is equal to the
boldest scheme projected by the late Jay
Gould.
The latest evidence in this respect
is the announcement that the Goulds have
acquired control of the Denver and Rio
Grande and will soon have the Rio Grande
Western. 1t is also understood that the
Missouri Pacific now has control of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which eX-
tends from st. Louis via Parsons and
Dallas to Galveston and that the Frisco,
extending from st. Louis to Paris and
southwest to Oklahoma will soon be ac-
CURED by the Goulds.
'By these purchases the Missouri Pa
cifc will not only extend list western
limit to Ogden but will occupy the noun
tain passes to an extent that will make
it difficult for other roads to secure in
gress on a profitable footing. The Mis-
souri, Pacific is in close relations with
the Unicn Pacific and other properties I'M
der syndicate control and will therefore
be in a position to work tremendously
west from Salt Lake City to Ell Paso.
Mr. Gould's present Western trip and
inspection of railroad properties is said
to be the concluding preparation for the
urification of this great Southwestern
system
'"This combination would make sys-
tenn covering 1886 miles.

WAR IN THE CABINET
MICHAEL HICKS.BEACH
CENTER OF The ATTACK
Necessity for Funds to Carry on
Fighting Causes Sharp Differences
as to Manner OfRaiSing Coin
--Chamberlain'S Position.

New York, Nov. 16.-Your cores.
pendent has received from an authori.
tative source full confirmation OF the
rumors OF Cabinet dissensions already
limited In previous dispatches, cables
the London representative OF the Tri-
bune. The protracted session of the
Cabinet has been deep political mys-
terry for which neither the program OF
the session nor the Mitylehe affair sup
piled an adequate clew. What really
happened was an onslaught on Sir
Michael Hicks Beach by nearly all OF
his assistants. Mr.. Balfour joined Mr..
Chamberlain and Lord Salisbury and
the Duke OF Devonshire supported
both in condemning the speech OF the
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, which had
sent consols down with a rush. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach's financial ad-
ministration and his general proposals
for carrying on the additional burdens
of the war were harshly criticised and
he was left almost alone with all the
strongest men against him. Lord Lon
Gonderry, Sir Michael's closest friend.
interviewed as peacemaker and a truce
was arranged by him. The Cabinet
has been in session since this breach
occurred. and there has been a renewal
Of the unpleasant controversy. Some OF
the best informed politicians are fore
casting the early resignation Of Sir
Michael Hicks Beach. The informa-
ton which comes to me from a high
authority does not go so far, but 1t
confirms explicitly the report that the
Cabinet assistants of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach have been exasperated by
his injudicious speech, which helped to
unsettle the markets.
Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach have not been understood
nor sympathized with each other. One
has condemned the method OF fnanc-
ing the war and the other has been
coldly critical of all matters of South
African policy. There was a contest
between them a year ago. but Sir
Michael, with Mr.. Balfours amiable
support, held his ground after accept
Ing the proposals for sugar and coal
duties and other half measures. The
divergence OF views clearly has been
sharper this year, and Mr.. Balfour has
gone over to the other side Of Mr..
Chamberlain, with Lord Salisbury's
approval. The resignation of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach would be an af-
fair Of momentous Importance. He is
the ideal old Tory and country squire,
and has the power Of rallying about
him the unprogressive Conservatives.
There would be only one candidate for
the succession to the Treasury, and
the advent Of Mr.. Chamberlain as
Chancellor of the Exchequer would be
the signal for the adoption of a new
system of indirect taxation for the re-
lief of the income tax payers and the
promotion of the interests of Canada
Australia and other colonies.
