Pekin, Jan. 1.-THE first week of
the rehabilitation Of the Chinese court
and Of its resumption Of authority at
the capital has been a period OF in
tense interest for all classes Of
Chinese and foreigners. But the
week has hardly suficed to furnish
proofs from which deductions regard
ing the policy of the empress dowager
under the new conditions can be
drawn. That she governs as absolute
ly as before the attempt to crush
progress, and that she recognizes that
foreign interests and opinions must
be respected, is apparent 1t has not
yet appeared that the modernization
of the court is more than skin deep.
All the old methods Of corruption and
intrigues for office, the purchase of
favors and bribery TO secure audiences
have been resumed with a vigor in
dicating that ofiicialdom is trying to
make up for lost time.

FIRE In MANCHESTER
DOES $5OO,OOO DAMAGE
Granite Business Block There Burned
and Many Other Properties
Damaged

Manchester, N. H., Jan. 15.-The
destruction last night of the Kennard
granite structure considered to be
the finest business Office block in New
England north Of Boston, proved to
be the worst fire here in many years,
the total loss being s5OO.OOO. Besides
the Kennard, the Smyth block on the
opposite side of the street, was prac-
tically ruined. and considerable dam
age was done to the home of the
Derryheld Club, in the rear of the
Kennard. In the Smyth block were
two banks and the Park Theatre, oc-
cupied by j. u. Little's dramatic COM
pany presenting The World" The
Kennard was totally burned. At the
time the board of trade was in ses-
sion and Immediately a rush for the
exits was made. Every one got out
safely.
The heat was so intense that the
firemen had to fall back and give their
attention to the surrounding build
ings Despite all they could do the
flames jumped Water street and set
fire to the Smyth block, wherein the
Park Theatre is situated. The flames
attacked the stage roof first and the
firemen from the theatre orchestra
and galleries held it in check there
and so saved the block, although wa
ter wrought havoc with the interior
When one of the rear walls of the
Kennard fell the roof of the extension
of the Derryfield Club was ignited,
but the iiremen saved the main build
ing. Much other adjoining property
was considerably damaged by both
fire and water.
The cause of the fire is believed to
have been due to electrical connec-
tions.

Patrick Keenan, Killed,

Patrick Keenan,, one of the most pros.
porous and highly esteemed residents of
the Buffalo, was instantly killed in q
runaway accident near Ryah last We'd
nesday afternoon.
Mr.. Keenan,, accompanied by his son
Daniel keenan, were hauling lumber
from Ryan to the home Of the latter.
The son was driving ahead of his
father who had high spirited team
and everything went well until the
Snyder hill, southeast of Barryville was
reached when the elder Keenan's team
either became frightened by the rattle
OF the lumber on the wagon or being
tormented by flies, became unmanag-
able and started to run down the hill.
Mr.. keenan, hearing his fathers calls to
stop the team, turned his team to the
side of the road and dismounted from
the wagon to stop them but before the
team reached him his father was thrown
on the whipple-trees and instantly
killed, his chest being crushed in hor-
rible manner. There were no marks to
show that the wagon passed over the
body but there was the mark of hoof
on the jaw, showing that he had been
kicked by one Of the horses. The horses
ran to the Dan keenan, place where
Mrs. Keenan, succeeded in turning them
into the yard. The wagon was COM
pletely demolished. Coroner Lawrence
of this city was telephoned for and the
body removed to the Dan keenan,
home.
Mr.. keenan, was born in Doud county
Ireland, 6S years ago and came to
America when about AZ years of age.
About % years ago he purchased 200
acres of land in Middlefield township
buchanan county on which he has since
made his home. He has since added
200 acres of Delaware county land to bis
possessions. He was an honest up
right citizen and in his death that sec.
ton looses one of its most enterprisine
and highly esteemed citizens.
Mr.. Keenan, leaves to mourn his
death, his wife and seven children
Daniel, who lives near Nashville
Arthur and Frank who reside on the
old homestead; Peter, who lives with
his sister, Mrs. Thos. Coleman, neal
Coggon; Mrs. John Mangold, of Ryan
and Mrs. Daniel burns, of Mssonville
The funeral services were held from
the Month church Friday morning, Rev
j. j. Hanley conducting the services.
