REACHES CAPITAL.
President Roosevelt Arrives in
Washington at 1890.

Washington, d. C., Feb. 14.-President
Roosevelt arrived in Washington at
10:4O a. m. over the Pennsylvania rail-
road from Groton, Mass. His car was
attached to the second section of the
Federal express.
President Roosevelt returned to the
White House in a very happy frame of
mind after five anxious days at the
bedside of his boy who has been crit
ically i'll with pneumonia at Groton,
Mass. The journey back to the seat of
government was made much more leis-
urely than the hasty dash into New
England Sunday when the presidents
anxiety to reach his son outran the
fastest special train. The trip to GrotOn
was made in fourteen hours, but eigh-
teen hours were consumed in the return
and in this home coming the president
had a chance to make three short rear
car speeches to the crowd at Worcester,
Woonsocket and Providence In each
he assured the waiting hundreds that
Ted was all right and out of the
woods and in each case the crowd SEEM
ed as joyous as the president and cheer
ed Vociferously.
The journey after leaving Providence
was uneventful. DIR. Lambert who went
to Groton at the special request of the
president left the train just before it
was taken on to the ferryboat Mary
land at Harlem river early this morn
ing. The private car did not go into
the Philadelphia station and at Balti-
more there was no one except train
hands to gaze curiously into the car of
the nations chief executive The pres
ident received no word from GfrotOn
during the trip except a few newspa per
that the boy was progressing
favorably through the convalescent
stage. There were only a few people at
the Pennsylvania station when the
president arrived. Assistant Secretary
Loeb met him and the party was driven
rapidly to the White House.
Miss Alice Roosevelt will leave for
Groton over the Pennsylvania road at
so o'clock this afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that if the Improvement in the
young mans condition continues for
another week he will be brought here at
the end of that time. Mrs Roosevelt
and Miss Alice will be in Washington
when Prince Henry arrives.

well how Mr.. Coburn dislikes ostentation
and that sort of thing and also Coburns
retiring, modest disposition.

concluded he would play even. The cat

posal, and when Bolton ascertained what
train Coburn would reach Wichita on he
took one of the bands and went to the de-
pot to meet the Kansas secretary. As the
train rolled in the band played, See, the

PITTSBURG, Pass Feb. Sat about
Ills this morning, Just as the Pittsburg
harbor toWboat j. w Allies had passed
through Lock No. ? her boilers exploded,
throwing her crew of fourteen men in all
directions. Three of the crew are known
to be fatally hurt, and only five Others
have been accounted for.
The boat was towing six loaded flats
toward Pittsburg, and just after getting
out of the lock the explosion happened
and in very short time the Allies was
burned to the waters edge. The report
of the explosion was heard for miles.
and soon after rescuing parties were
searching for the injured
Capt. Shaw says he was sleeping in
his bunk when the explosion came, and
the first he knew of any danger was
when he found himself fioundering
around in the water fully 200 feet away
from the burning boat, with his blanket
still around him. He is not seriously
hurt, but thinks that many of his crew
must have persisted
The Allies was practically a new boat

REDUCTION IN LOSSES.
Waterbury Fire Damage Only
Million and n Half.

WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. 4.-Busi-
ness concerns which suffered by the fires
of Sunday night and Monday morning
are bending all their energies toward Sc
curing temporary quarters in which to
resume manufactures and trade until
such time as new buildings can 0e erect
ed for their more suitable accommoda-
ton. Meanwhile there is little business
being transacted although the scene Of
the nf1agrations presents an Animal
ed appearance. The militia remains on
duty protecting property and preserving
order.
The estimate of loss by the fires has
undergone a material reduction. 4 lead
ing insurance man, whose firm had writ
ten policies on nearly all the buildings
that We're burned, said he was satisfied
that the total loss would not exceed
1,500, coo when deductions had been made
for salvage from stocks of goods. A
great deal of movable property still re-
mains out Of doors, owing to the scar
city of stores and storage room. Many
families rendered homeless by the fires
are forced to accept hospitality wherever
it can be had, and to be content with
whatever accOmmodat tons are obtain
able. AS a result of the exposure to
which people were subjected several
cases of serious illness are reported.

the United States does not look upon
paper annexations as final while there is
an effective force il the field. To thus
SHOW our friendship for the Beers would
have great moral influence in Great
Britain, where the masses are fooled into
believing that the sympathies of the peo-
PIE of this country are with England in

move the main support of Chamberlain
and his adherents. The proposition for
an appropriation Of $4,000 to cover the
expenses is very necessary, as President
Kruger is today a poor man"

Sixth regiment band and battalion of
the Sixth regiment, and the march to
the hotel was through throngs OF neopIe

wind was biting cold. Once inside the
hotel the throng in the street could not
be satisfied until the admiral and Mrs.
Schley appeared on the balcony. The
admiral made brief speech of thanks
