HOTEL DYNAMITED
IN WASHINGTON
Building Completely Wrecked and the
Author of the Ruin Com
mits Suicide.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-The
Golden Eagle hotel, at New Jersey
avenue and D. street, was dynamited
this morning at 4:30 o'clock by Frank
McKie, one of the guests, who subse-
quently committed suicide. Between
twenty and thirty guests were thrown
from their beds by the explosion, but
only the proprietor, Louis Brandt and
his wife, were injured, the latter seri-
ously. The roof of the building was
blown off and the falling of wreckage
crashed through to the basement, leav-
ing the structure as if wrecked by a
tornado. Every pane of glass in the
building and the adjoining structures
was broken.
The, affair is involved in mystery.
The proprietor gave a banquet last
night in honor of his wife, who had just
returned from Germany, and McKie
was a guest. MCKEE had boarded at
the hotel four years, and had been
treated as member of the Brandt
family, which includes a daughter,
Sophie, with whom McKie is said to
have been in love. Brandt denies that
there was any misunderstanding be-
tween the two. MCKEE remarked last
night that he was going to wait until
Sophie returned from Germany with
her mother, and then was going to his
old home in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Brandt and her daughter re-
turned about o'clock last night The
attempt at wholesale murder follow
ed this morning. McKie, with pistol
in his hand, was seen by an employe
of lunch room opposite the hotel be-
fore the shots were fired. Brandt and
his wife were rescued before many Of
the thirty guests Of the establishment
had reached the part of the building In
which McKie's room was located. Nc
Kie, with revolver clutched in his hand,
was found lying on the floor with his
head in a pool Of blood. A bullet hole
near the right ear had caused instant
death.
When the wrecked building was
searched today enough dynamite was
found in McKie's trunk to blow up
block of buildings. MCKEE was about
twenty eight years old. He was for
merIy of Philadelphia. He was ma
chinist in the navy yard here, but re-
signed on inheriting upwards of $2O,-
600 four years ago. This amount he is
said to- have lost on the races, and his
act is accredited by some to this loss.

VAN SAINTS POSITION.

Not one word has found it's way into
print in any Republican paper in this
state since the opening of the state
campaign in support of the claim of
Gov. Van SAINT to reelection. Not
even one reason has been assigned why
the people should continue this gen.
tleman in office. The sum of all the
approaches to reasoning that have
been INDUCED in on his behalf is that
he has-been elected to his present Of
flee by Republican votes, and by Re
publican votes he will be reelected.
There is no pretense Of stating an af-
firmative reason why his administra-
ton should be continued. There is
no such reason to be stated.
When Samuel r. Van SAINT found
his political fortunes waning, and be-
came assured that he could not be re-
nominated without trying some excep-
tional remedy, he decided, among other
things, to call a special session of the
state legislature. That legislature cost
the state many thousands Of dollars.
1t was called ostensibly for the pur-
pose of securing action on the report
of tax commission created by the last
legislature.
There was no public reason whatever
why that report should have been con-
sidered before the approaching regular
session of the legislature. 1t was sprung
on the people suddenly as in the case
of a great emergency. Nobody knew
what that report was when the call
for the extra session was issued. There
was no opportunity offered, even to
those familiar with the details of the
great subject to be dealt with, to learn
what the commission had reported. The
ment, to an intelligent understanding
of the contents Of which days of close
study was an absolute necessity. The
people were not allowed to study it.
contents, so that the people could be-
come familiar with those contents. The
document in it's entirety would occupy
too much Of their space. But the leg
islature was convened, and the Re-
publican members of that body started
a wrangle over the report which de-
veloped into public scandal, and
which was followed by no result what
ever, except the one of Strengthening,
in his own opinion, the political fences
of him who convened it.
This is one and a chief feature Of
the record on which Samuel R. Van
SAINT goes before the people Of this
state. There are other features equally
well entitled to the public considera-
ton. They may be hidden from view
by the progress of time. But they
will be made plain. They will help to
make plain, too, the demonstrate fact,
that the interests of the state have
suffered the gravest injury in every
direction in which Van SAINT has pur-
sued a given public course. AS in his
legislative exploits, so in his admins
trative, the state has been subjected
to shame and wrong, as the scandals
Of the state board of control will help
to illustrate.

ton of the Boer race. We must as a
people make good"
Whatever the English nation has
done or has refused to do In restoring
the former Boer belligerents to their
homes and enabling them to begin
again the battle of life, it is not for
this people to inquire. The Beers need
our aid, and it should be forthcom-
ing as generously as it was ever
poured out in any cause whatever.
We cannot afford any response which
is not a generous one. Those thirty
thousand families can be reinstated in
their homes, and can be furnished with
all that is necessary to set them on
the pathway to future prosperity by
the contributions of the American peo-
pie alone without entailing mo-
ment's hardship upon any man,
woman or child who contributes to
the noble object.

BOYS, MORE ESPECIALLY
COLLEGE BOYS, WILL BE BOYS
California University Students Have
Some Fun Which Is Costly.

BERKELEY, Cal, Sept. 25.-As
result of riotous diversion Of the stu
dents of the University of California,
one of their number, Winfield Reed, of
Santa Barbara, Cal, is in Jail with a
charge of felony confronting him and
others are likely to be incarcerated for
equally serious and minor offenses.
The trouble grew out Of a big rally
for the football team. About 500 stu
dents took possession of local train,
put out the lights, turned on the hand
brakes and demolished the entire fur
nishings. Winfield Reed was detected
in the act of putting on the air brake
and was arrested. The students rushed
to his rescue and desperate fight en-
sued, but Reed was finally placed In
Jail. The boys tried to storm the place,
but were repulsed. The law makes
Reeds offense a felony.
