NOW IT'S WOLC0TT.
Colorado Man Said to Be Slated
For HitchcOck's Place.

Washington, March 20.-The Post says:
1t is understood that ex-senator VOL
colt, of Colorado. is being considered by
the president as the possible successor
of Secretary Hitchcock, who, it is un-
derstOod will soon retire from the cabi-
net. Mr. Wolcott was seriously consid E
cred for the interior portfolio at the
time of MIR. McKinley's second inaugu-
ration, when it was thought probable
Secretary Hitchcock would retire. At
that time it was also understood, he
was willing 10 accept the honor.
The death of the brother of Secretary
Hitchcock on Tuesday caused the ru-
mors that the cabinet member from
Missouri was to retire to be more per-
sistent than for several days. 1t is be-
lieved the attention of the secretary will
be in demand at home in settling up
his brothers estate

ST. Petersburg, March 20.-The Official

SMALLPOX RAGING.
Federal Penitentiary at Leayen-
worth Has Several Cases.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 20.-The
epidemic of smallpox at the United
States penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth has become serious. There are
now nine cases of the disease in the
prison. The convicts who have the dis
ease are confined in what is known as
the kite house inside the prison walls
When the disease first broke out the
two men who were afflicted were kept
in the quarantine hospital on the hill
north of the prison. When the other
cases We're discovered the kite house
was turned into a temporary hospital
and the men who were in the quaran-
tine hospital were moved back inside
the prison.
The disease was brought to the fed
eral prison from Muskogee, 1. T., by
batch of "A prisoners who were brought
in two weeks ago. Two days after the
prisoners arrived one of them was taken
down with the disease. Next day an
other developed the disease, and now
there are nine cases. All but three of
them are of the batch of "a, and the
others are old men who came in con-
tact with them.

BAILEY is STRONG.
n. B. Kelley Says He Finds MucI
Favorable Sentiment.

H. B. Kelly has just returned from a
trip through the northern and western
part of the state, and he says that he
finds the sentiment of the Republicans
generally favorable to Bailey in the
gubernatorial contest.
Il make the prediction that before the
state convention meets the delegates
viii be tumbling over each other in
their efforts to get into the Bailey
camp" said Mr.. Kelly today. Il be-
Iieve Bailey will go into the state con-
vention with almost all of three con-
gressiona1 districts solid behind him
the First, Fifth and Seventh. In the
trip / have just taken L have been in
Republic, Osborne, Ness and other coun-
ties in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh dis
tricts, and 1 find there is a remarka BILE
Bailey sentiment in them. 1t won't be
very long before the fellows who want
to stand well with the next state ad-
miniStration will start a stampede to
Bailey-at least that's the way it looks
to me after being out over the state"
Late details of the Washington coun-
ty convention, Which was held yester-
day, state that in a convention COM
posed of 1872 delegates there was not a
single negative vote on the resolution
to instruct for Bailey.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Inmates Of Kentucky Reform
School Dormit0ry Escape.

Lexington, KY, March 20.-The Brad
ley dormitory at the state school of re-
form near this city was destroyed by
fire shortly after midnight, but all the
inmates, numbering 125 boys were
saved.
The fire was discovered in the third
story of the dormitory at 1925 o'clock
by the night watchman. He at once
notified superintendent Doak, who
promptly aroused the inmates and got
them safely and without disorder out of
the building.
The officials and the boys went to
work to save the office furniture but
the flames spread quickly and the dor
mitory was soon in ruins.
A telephone message was sent here
for help and the local fire department
quickly responded and an engine was
started at once. They had about six
miles to go, and, although they were
too late to save any part of the dormi-
tory, they prevented the flames spread
ing to the Manual Training building
which is near the dormitory
At 1:10 o'clock the dormitory collapsed
and at o'clock the fire was practically
eXtinguished.
The burned building was erected in
1896 during the administration of For
mer Governor w. O. Bradley, at a cost
of $4,000 and was insured for two thirds
of it's value. 1t was the only dormitory
completed to this time excepting the
one occupied by the girls three-quarters
of mile away.
In it were the superintendent and his
family the guards and the white boys,
numbering about 125. The burning of
the building leaves these young crini-
nails and the superintendent without
quarters. The colored boys occupy the
manual training building in which are
the factories. etc. and the colOred girls
occupy an old house, which stood on the
place al the time of the farms purchase
by the state
Because of the badly crowded condi-
ton of the dormitories and the incom-
plete plans of the institution, the state
legislature has just passed an appropri-
alton for the schools benefit.

Chronicle this morning. When inter-
viewed in regard to the matter Ho Vow
said:
Yes, the minister has been informed
by the foreign office that charges are on
file and has telegraphed me to investi-
gate and learn their sources. There are
a number of charges, the greatest stress
being laid on the allegation that 1 am
not conducting the fight against exclu-
sion as aggressively as the complainants
think 1 should. Another charge is that
am neglecting my official duties and
not protecting the interests and welfare
of my cOuntrymen. We are informed
by the foreign office that the charges
bear the imprint of the Six Companies.

A prominent member of the Six Com
panies said:

comprised 2S articles. One was the
charge that a great deal of his time
was devoted to his racing stable and
that his jockeys wore the national col

government will not permit this.
'Then there were other charges of
official personal misconduct The
charges against the minister were that

THE LAST CALL.

night, when the books will be closed at

MARCONIGRAPH ON LAKES.
A Considerable Degree of Success At
tanned on Second Trial.

Cleveland, o.. March 20.-Failure of
the first attempt to use wireless telegra-
ply on the lakes has been followed by
success on the second trial. The steam
er City of Detroit was towed to a slip
near the lake front where there were no
intervening masts or buildings and the
experiments repeated. Only those MAX
ing the experiments and connected with
the ownership of the system We're OH
board. j. V. Topliff representative Of
the origina tor of the system, the latter
being at Detroit says that one of the
code words agreed upon had been both
sent to and received from Detroit. He
said no attempt was made to transmit
messages but the transmission of the
code word established the fact of COM
munication and that the experiments
were successful.
The success achieved on the second
attempt is ascribed partly to better
weather conditions and partly to a bet
ter adjustment of the apparatus.
