RATES WILL GO UP.
Fire Insurance Companies Have of
Late Been Heavy Losers.

THe insurance companies Have OF
Late Been Heavy Losers.
New York, Feb. 19.-The Journal
OF Commerce says that at a largely at
tended meeting of fire insurance COM
pnaies held Tuesday afternoon a res
olution was adopted providing for an
advance in rates throughout the Unit
ed States east of the Rocky noun
tains, with the exception of New York
city and it's immediate vicinity The
resolution, as given by The Journal
of Commerce, gives as the reason for
this advance that losses have been
very heavy, and during 1901 remark
able number of fire insurance compa-
MES were forced to liquidate. The
Paterson and Waterbury confagra-
lions, coming on the heels of a bad
year, necessitated prompt action by
insurance companies.
1t was agreed that throughout the
country named rates shall be advanced
rs per cent on mercantile stocks in
all buildings except SUCH as are &C.
cupied as dwellings above the grade
floor, and on frame store buildings;
also on all manufacturing risks and
other special hazards which have not
been rated under revised and approved
schedules within one year.

RIoTINe CONTINUES.
Troops Repeatedly Charge the Mobs
at Barcelona.

Barcelona, Feb. 10. - ioting was re-
znewed here during the evening and
crowds of strikers paraded the streets
doing extensive damage. The troops
charged them repeatedly, but only sue
ceeded In dispensing them on opening
ire. The strikers then assembled in
large numbers in the outskirts Of the
city. 1t is. feared they mediate an
attack upon the factories. Troops
have proceeded to the factories to be
in readiness for an emergency.
e A serious collision between the
troops and the strikers occurred at
San Martin, a village in the suburbs.
Here the troops fired on the mob, kill
ing three and wounding six. At Bad
alena the mob attacked the gendarmes
and the cavalry who were protecting
the street. cars, and serious melee
followed, in which one person was
killed and three were wounded. At
Sabadell,. also in the suburbs, the
strikers burned the tax Offices and a
convent. .".~ss;. Id,
Troops have been sent to Sabadell
and other places to suppress the dis
orders. :. : : ~. : =
The new project presided at a con-
ference of delegates from the strikers
and their employers, at which it was
agreed that work should be resumed
pending the adjustment ofsthe claims
OF the strikers by mixed commission.
Madrid, Feb. 19.-The strike move
ment threatens to involve the whole
Of Catalonia. The strict censorship
maintained makes it difficult to get
accurate news of the occurrences. One
OF the chief aims of the strikers at
barcelona seems to be to prevent the
sale OF food. The slaughter houses
are filled with meat which the strikers
prevent from being delivered to the
shops. Similar conditions exist in the
other food markets, with the result
that prices are rising and a famine
is feared. It is believed the strikers
have secreted stores of provisions.
Both houses passed a bill suspend
ing the constitutional guarantees in
the sub-province of Barcelona.

WATER CAN BURN.
Scientific Invention Said to Have Been
Made in Germany.


Made in Germany.
Berlin, Feb. 19.-Water can be en-
lowed with qualities similar to those
OF petroleum by an invention patented
by DR.. Karl Lietz, chemist of Ham
burg, whose supporters assert that
the process foreshadows an industrial
revolution second only to the discov-
cry of electricity.
DR.. Lietz has manufactured a fluid
which gives to water the combustible
qualities of oil, and renders it capable
of producing intense heat and a pure
white light twice as strong as petrol
cum flame.
The ingredients of the. fluid are non
explosive, and can be produced either
in solid or liquid form according as
intended to be used for heating or
lighting. Exhaustive tests just com
pleted at Hamburg have induced an
English syndicate to buy the invention
for the purpose of exploiting it on a
larger scale. - -

Bad Weather Prevented a Complete
Trial of the New Warship.

Bad weather Prevented Complete
Trial of the New Warship.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The navy de-
paremtn has decided the official re-
port of the naval trial board on the
final acceptance trial of the battlship
Illinois, made on her way from Hamp-
ton Roads to New York last week.
The vessel was given 4S-hour run
under natural draft. Her engines reg
istered 1914 revolutions, a speed of
about 151a knots. The vessel encoun-
tered severe weather on her way
north, and it was found impossible to
try her guns on account of a solid COW
ering OF ice three inches thick over
her decks and turret tops. The board
therefore decided the excellent show
ing made by the guns of the vessel
of New Orleans some time ago should
stand as her gun trial. The board
says that the vessels machinery work
ed satisfactorily. ~

FIVE HELD FOR MURDER.
Old Man Murdered for His Pension
Near Kansas City.

OIo Man Murdered for His Pension
Near Kansas City. =
Kansas City, Feb. 19.-The body of
Noah Long, the old man who, accord.
ing to Rhoda Taylor's confession, after
being robbed on the night of Jan. 80,
was thrown from the Old Southern
bridge, which spans the Kaw river
between Argentine and Armourdale,
was found during the day not 20 feet
from the spot indicated by the wo-
mans confession. There were no
wounds on the body and the doctors
who held an autopsy over the body de-
c1ded that Longs death was caused
by drowning. The body was found by
some laborers who were trying to re-
lease some sand scows from the ice.
The finding of the body corroborates
the statement of Rhoda Taylor that
the old man after being robbed of the
$210 pension money, which he had re-
ceived that day, was thrown into the
river. Henry Donohue, Jr., and James
Golf, according to the confession,
threw Long into the river, but David
Moran, Marjorie Donohue and Rhoda
Taylor were all parties to the robbery,
and all are held on suspicion of com
plicity in the murder.

Minnesota House Makes a Special Or
der Of the New Tax Code.
st. Paul, Feb. 19.-The house of rep
resentatives recalled the tax bill from
the committee on taxes and tax
laws, and made the bill special Or
der for the following morning, gave
the judiciary committee a hint to be-
gin work on the constitutional amend
ments, which was promptly needed,
and refused to mix the question of tax
legislation for the present and consti-
tutional amendments for the future.
The senate is waiting on the house
and will not attempt to reach any
conclusions on the tax bill until the
house has finished. Meanwhile, it will
clear the tables of the other legisla-
ton that is pending: The Bobleter
release bill may be an exception. It
was laid on the table during the morn
ing, and is likely to stay there.

Morgan to Acquire Mines in Hooking
and Sunday Creek Valleys.
Columbus, O., Feb. 19.-Reports are
current in local coal and railroad cir
Giles Of the organization of a new coal
company by the Morgan syndicate to
acquire Is Independent coal mines on
the Hooking Valley and Ohio Central
railroads. The new company is to be
known as the Continental Coal com
pany, it is said, and the capitalization
will be $15,O00,Oy0. The new combine
will include all the mining properties
in the Hooking and Sunday creek val
leys, with the exception of the new
Pittsburg and Glendale mines, which
have been acquired by the Pittsburg
combine. There is probability that
the larger mines on the Columbus,
Shawnee and Hooking railroad may
also be included in the deal.

CONFESSION OF FORGERY.
David City (Neb.) Bank Cashier Ad
mits SHORTAGE of 100000.


Omaha, Feb. 19.-Amos Gould, for
mer cashier of the Platte Valley State
bank of Bellwood, says a David City,
Neb., special to The World Herald,
pleaded guilty to the forgery of II
notes ranging in amount from $50 to
81, 400. He threw himself upon the
mercy Of the court, saying that if re-
leased he and his friends would soon
make UP his defalcations. In the
course of his remarks he admitted to
the forgery of 100000, but he said he
said he could not tell whether or not
that was the total amount of his for
geries. Judge Sornberger evidently
sympathized with Gould's family, but
told Gould that it was unreasonable for
him to ask light sentence, for the i'm
position of brief punishment would
cause others to follow in his steps.
He added that he desired time for con-
sideration as to the punishment to
be imposed and would pronounce SEN
ztence later.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Last Fridays Speech of Mr.. Wheeler
Severely Criticised.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The speech
of Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky, in the
house last Friday, when he bitterly
assailed Secretary Hay and Lord
Paunceforte and criticised the official
preparations for the reception of
Prince Henry, had a sequel in the
house during the debate on the Indian
appropriation bill. Mr.. Gillett of
Massachusetts in a half hour speech
declared that the intemperance of Mr..
Wheeler's language carried it's own
condemnation. Nevertheless, he (Gil-
lett) grievously deplored such an af-
front to foreign country. During the
course of the speech two Democrats
Robinson of Indiana and Thayer of
Massachusetts disclaimed any SYM
pathy with Mr.. Wheeler's utterances
These disclaimers drew from Mr.. Tai
bert of South Carolina the statement
that he desired to share in the respon-
sibility of the speech, every word of
which he said he endorsed Mr.
Wheeler himself subsequently replied
to Mr.. Gillett, reafirming what he
had said, and declaring that he would
stand by his words whether they were
discreet or not. He read a. number
of letters, kilograms and one cable
gram from London commenting his
utterances. The incident was the
feature of the day.
Earlier in the session Mr.. Hill OF
Connecticut and Mr.. Shafroth of Colo.
RADIO discussed the formers bill to re-
deem silver in gold. Mr.. Burleson of
Texas criticised the president for
changing his position on trusts.
The Indian bill itself was not touch
ed in the speech-making,

SENATE AGREES ON TIME FOR
DISPOSAL OF PHILIPPINE
TARIFF BILL.
Mr.. WELLINGTON'S ADDRESS
Opposes .'1e Pending Measure on the
Grounds Of Taxing People Without
Represe ntation and Governing
Them Against Their Will-speech
Of Mr.: Wheeler Last Friday Dis.
cussed by the House.

SaSSS0 Ny lHS Ar1OuSe. - 3,
Washington, Feb. 19.-It was agreed
by the senate. during the day that a
final vote on the Philippine tariff bill
and the pending amendments should
be taken next Monday afternoon at
o'clock. The only stipulation made
by the minority was that the last days
debate should be devoted to speeches
not exceeding Is minutes in duration,
Senator wellington Of Maryland spoke
in opposition to the pending bill and
Senator Stewart of Nevada in sup
port of the measure. Mr.. Wellington's
address covered the Philippine ques-
ton generally.
:. He set forth his well known views
forcefully. He had always been
Republican, he said, a believer in the
system OF. protection and supporter
of the gold standard, but he had come
to the parting of the ways with his
party in 1898, when it developed t'its
imperialistic tendencies" He oppos-
ed the pending tariff bill, because he
did not think congress had the right
to enact legislation by which people
were taxed without representation and
governed without their consent.
Mr.. Stewart made a brief legal and
constitutional argument in support of
the authority of congress to hold the
Philippines, and to provide a proper
government for their inhabitants.
Philippine War Discussed.
From the beginning of the war in
q L
sisted, that it would continue until
the bitter end-that is, until the Fill
pines should be subjugated or abso-
lutely exterminated. ss j..
Passing incidentally from the Philip
pines to Cuba, Mr.. Wellington referred
to the battle of Santiago where the
American squadron, he declared, was
under the command of Rear Admiral
Sampson, but was led by "the Maryl-
and hero, Admiral Schley." az,.4%l
= Mr.. Wellington said that after the
ratification Of the treaty of Paris the
American administration had had no
definite Philippine policy. He ridicul-
ed Mr.. Lodges assertion that congress
should make no promises to the Fill
pines, that it SHOULD not mortgage the
unknown future" s
At the conclusion of Mr.. yelling
tons speech, house bill appropriate
ing $4,000 to clear the Potomac river
near Washington of ice was passed:1e
Mr.. Stewart of Nevada then ad-
dressed the senate in support of the
administrations Philippine policy. 9
The senate then at o'clock went
into executive session, and at 4:08 p.
m. adjourned. &

lad NARROW ESCAPES
FIRE BREAKS oUT..lN THE BAT.
TIE. (MIcH.) ADVENTIST
sANITARIUM.
THREE HUNDRED INMATES

All Compelled to Leave the BUILDING
by Way Of the Fire Escapes, Losing
All Their Personal Effects-one
Man Believed to Have Perished in
the Flames-severaI Firemen FAN
From Ladders.
Battle Creek, Mich, Feb. 19.-The
large Adventist sanitarium and hos.
pltal buildings located here were de-
stroyed by fire during the day, causing
a loss of about 100000, with only
$l60,O0O insurance, besides great per-
sonal loss to 800 patients who were
In the main building, and who only
had time to escape in their night
clothes.
One life is supposed to have been
lost. Abner Case, aged SO years, of
Bath, N. Y, is missing and it is
thought his body is buried in the ruins.
There were at least 300 persons in
the main building when the fire broke
out in the basement. This building
was five stories high and as soon as
the fire was discovered, the night at
PENDANTS on each floor gave the alarm
In the corridors and the patients made
their escape down the fire escapes,
aided by the nurses. They did not
have time to collect their personal ef-
fects. Mrs. H. G.. McDaniels of Bath,
N. Y, jumped from fire escape about
two stories from the ground and had
a leg broken. She was also injured
internally and about the head. None
OF the other inmates sustained inju-
ries so far as known. They were all
cared for in the Phelps sanitarium and
in private homes near by.
Several Firemen Injured.
The firemen were handicapped by
insufficient water pressure, and in two
hours the buildings were in ruins.
While fighting the fire from ladders
Fireman Henry A. Lucas fell to the
ground and received injuries of Sc
rious nature. Fireman Arthur Robin
son also fell from ladder and was
badly hurt about the body. His lungs
were also injured by inhaling fire.
Assistant Fire Chief Fred H. Webb
fell from ladder. His head was in
jured and ribs were broken. Fireman
Frank G. Houghtaling also received Sc
rious injuries.
Fire Captain Fonda saved eight
lives: Among the patients were Ira
D. Sankey, the evangelist, and his wife,
who climbed down a fire escape.
The original building was built about
20 years ago, and since then annexes
to- the right and left and two large
wings extending back had been added.
The structure is complete ruin. I'm
mediately adjacent was the hospital
building, five stories high and with
100 beds. The blaze jumped the in
tervening space in spite of the efforts
of the f1remen, but there had been
sufficient warning to the attendants
and patients had been carried to
places of safety. However the build
ing with all it's apparatus was doomed
The management of the sanitarium
say it will be rebuilt at once. The
cause of the fire is said to have. been
an explosion of chemicals.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 19.-After one
OF the fierciest and most stubbornly
contested campaigns, the heaviest
vote ever cast in a municipal election
in Pittsburg was polled during the
day. Returns so far received make it
almost certain that the present Re-
publican administration has been de.
feated by the Republican, Democratic
or Citizens ticket, by a good sized
majority.
