Washington;

II am still under the deep impress
sion created by the splendid and cor
dial reception of my brother, Prince
Henry, by the citizens of the United
States of America. In the speeches
with which he was greeted the fact
was often mentioned that my ances-
tor, Frederick the Great, maintained
a friendly attitude towards the
young American republic during the
course of her formation, thereby lay
ing the cornerstone of the friendly
relations which have always existed
between II two countries. The ex-
ample set to me by the great king
l intend to follow. / wish to COM
memorate the visit of Prince Henry
by a gift to the people of America,
which I request you to accept in
their name. / intend to present a
statue, in bronze, of Frederick the
Great, to the United States, to be
erected in Washington, on a place
which you will kindly choose. May
this gift be looked upon as a lasting
sign of the intimate relations which,
have been successfully fostered and
developed between our two great ma
tons.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS GIFT.
Site Decided Upon for the Statue
No Action by Congress
Necessary.

Washington, May 17.-At the cabi.
net meeting yesterday the offer Of
Emperor William of Germany to pre-.
sem to the United States a statue of
Frederick the Great, in commemora-
ton of the visit of Prince Henry to
this country, was discussed at some
length. President Roosevelt has de-
cided upon a site for the statue.
After giving the matter attention
the president concluded that no ac-
ton by congress was necessary, and
that as Frederick was a great com
mander it would be most appropriate
to place the statue adjacent to the
new war college to be established
in Washington. This college is to be
erected in the arsenal grounds.

Destructive Eruption.

Castries, Island of St. Lucia, Tues

on the island of st. Vincent is still
in destructive eruption. A terrific
cannonade can be heard a hundred
miles away. The reports are followed
by columns of smoke, rising miles in
the air. Immense balls of colored
fire also issue from the crater. Light
ming is playing freely in the upper
sky, and the whole northern part OF
the island is one mass of travelling
flame. 1t is impossible to reach the
burning district by land or sea, and
there are no means of estimating the
destruction wrought to life and prop
erty.

THE HOG RUN COLLAPSED.
Several Persons Killed and Injured While
watching a Fire at the Chicago
Stock Yards.

Chicago, May 1.-THE lard refinery
of Armour & Co., Situated at the cor
ner of Forty-third and Center streets.
was destroyed by fire last night, and
during the fire a number of accidents
occurred by which many persons
were injured. The number OF dead
and wounded Is a matter of con-
lecture as yet, the estimates running
all the way from five I'd twenty-five.
The fire drew a great crowd to the
stock yards, and it is estimated that
at least ten thousand spectators were
gathered around the burning build
ing. Several yiaducts traverse the
yards, at a height of 20 feet from the
ground, and upon these points of van
tage the people gathered. One of the
viaducts runs near the lard refinery,
and from the north side of this via
duct a hog-ruh 800 feet long extends
to the plant Of Armour & Co. While
this was densely crowded with peo-
pie about two hundred feet of it gave
way, precipitating all who stood up
on it to the ground.
The fremen instantly abandoned
all efforts to save the refinery, which
was already doomed, and devoted
themselves to the work of rescue.
A call was at once sent for the
nearest police ambulance, but it was
half an hour putting in an appear
ance, for the reason that when the
horses were being attached to the
ambulance they ran away. Finding it
impossible to recapture their w
horses, the men of the ambulance
corps impressed another team and
started for the fire. By the time they
arrived most of the injured had been
carried to hospitals, but a number of
the more severely hurt were placed
in an improvised hospital in the plant
Of the German-American Provision
Co.
The lard refinery was a new build
ing erected during the last two
months, and the building, exclusive
of the machinery it contained, was
valued at $4,000 1t was of brick
and five stories high. The fire start.
ed on the fifth floor from an eXplo'
sion of some watts of lard. 1t spread
rapidly throughout the building, de,
spite desperate efforts of the work
men tc check it's advance, and by the
time the firemen arrived at the scene
the building was a mass of flames.
Calls were quickly sent in for addi'
tional engines, until 20 had been sum
moned, but ever this reinforcement
was of no avail, and in a short time
the north, south and west walls OF
the building were down.
Directly west of the lard refinery
is the plant of the Upton Packing
Co., and the flames, after the fall OF
the west wall of the refinery, burst
out against this building with ter
rife force, and for a time it was
thought that it would be impossible
to save the Upton building. 1t was
damaged somewhat, but the flames
were checked before the damage was
serious.
