: MAY HAVE GOOD RESULTS.
Fire at Atlantic City Opens the Way to
Needed improvements.

Atlantic City, N. j., April 5.-The
beach front between Illinois and New
York avenues presents scene of utter
ruin and desolation. Of the many fine
hotels situated in the. district visited
by Thursdays conflagration there re-
main standing the unburned portion of
the Windsor hotel, at the Board Walk
and Illinois avenue, and the charred
frame work of the Rio Grande hotel on
New York avenue. Between these two
structures lies blackened waste,
scarcely stick being left to identify
any one of the numerous buildings
destroyed by the fire. The shell of the
Academy OF Music remains standing,
and this is notable, as the theater was
the only brick building in the burned
area.
All through the night the beach
Board Walk and avenues near the
scene of the fire were patrolled by the
Morris guards and Company L Of the
national guards. During the day the
soldiers, were relieved from duty BY
the police force.
While great sympathy is generally
expressed for the sufferers by the fire
the impression prevails that the disas
trous visitation will not be without
good results, as it has opened the way
to improvem ents which, it is conceded
were a necessity.

TO MAKE WEEKLY TRIPS. .
New Steamship Line From New York
to South Africa.

TO SOuIN FAIrlCds
New York, April 5.-Ten neV steam
ships of the Union Castle Mail Steam
ship company Qimlted) soon will be
plying between New York and the
ports of South Africa. One OF these
vessels, the Corfe Castle, is now tied
up in the Erie basin and will sail for
the African coast on Monday. 1t is
the intention of the company to have
one ship leave New York each week
and to cut down the sailing time be-
tween New York and Cape Town to p
days. A most unusual cargo is being
taken on by the Corfe Castle. Instead
of filling the ship with the ordinary
commodities that have hitherto gone
to South African ports she is being
loaded with pianos, organs, clocks, pre-
pared cocktails, articles of household
equipment and every conceivable thing
that goes to make up the American
home. It is these things that are now
wanted in South Africa and because Of
the war with England the owners of
the Union Castle line believe the Unit
ed States will be welcomed as the
chief source of supplies for South
African countries.
On the trip going from here to South
Africa the ships will touch st. Vincent,
Cape de Verde Islands, 200 miles west
of the African coast; St. Helena, Cape
Town and Port Elizabeth. On the re-
turn trip they will stop at the Canary
islands and Madeira

General Kitchener Lord Kitchen

towards Harris river. They soon struck
the track of guns and carried on run
ming fight for eight miles, following the

vanced against their fanls, forcing
the British troops to take up a defen-

trcnched. Fighting. ensued at close
quarters till the Beers were repulsed

leaders attempted to persuade their
men to renew the action but in vain
FIFTEEN hundred Beers participated in
the engagement, but they had suffered
too heavily, and cleared away to the
northwest and south. The British loss
es also were severe. The Canadian
Rifles especially distinguished them
selves, one party, commanded by Lieu

post until every man was killed or
wounded. Others of the force showed
great steadiness, allowing the Beers
to advance within 200 yards of them
and repelling them with a steady rifle
fire."

SALES FALLING OFF.
Flour Trade in the Orient on the De-

Portland, Or, April 5-The Orego-
nian says:
The Oriental flour business has fall
en- away to very small proportions and
the steamship lines operating between
this coast and Hong Kong and way
ports are heavy sufferers in conse-
quence. If it continues some of the
vessels will be compelled to retire
from the field. Mail advices from
Hong Kong under date of March II re-
port stock aggregating 100000 quar-
ter sacks, of which 100000 were Or
egon and Washington and the re-
mainder California brands. With this
enormous stock hanging over the
market, prices were rapidly drifting
from bad to worse, and it was practi-
cally impossible to work any new bust
ness. Many of the flour merchants
were selling below cost in order to un-
load before the wet season began and
spoiled their stocks.

iSLAYERS OF The MARQUIS
Trial Of the Murderers Of the Marquis
de Mores to Begin at Tunis
May Twentieth.
Marquis was Murdered in 1896 by
savages While Travelling in
Northern Africa.

A matter of much interest through,
this state will be the trial of the
murders of the Marquis de Mores,
which will begin at Tunis, in Africa,
May 90 1t will be remembered the
Marquis was slain by members of a
band of Touoregs, with whom he was
travelling into the interior of Africa.
The murder occurred in 1896. Since
that time the relatives of the Marquis
have been endeavoring to obtain the
arrest of the murders and their punish
ment, and s veral Of the band have
been arrested and held for trial.
DeMores will be remembered as
having been interested in the immense
beef slaughtering scheme that was
begun at lMedora in this state in the
early eighties. After the suspension
of that business in the United States
the Marquis returned to France and in
1896 started for the interior of Africa,
with an escort of Touaregs, a desert
tribe, fierce and savage, but with whose
leaders DeMores had struck up a
friendship. After being out a few days
DeMores dismissed his other escort,
relying upon the good will of the saw
ages alone. Shortly after this, he was
treacherously murdered, after fighting
alone single handed against the mem
bers of the band for some time, until
he was overpowered. His wife was the
daughter Of L. Won Hoffman, the mill
lionaire banker of SO Wall street, New
York, and since his murder she has
been tireless in her efforts to have his
murderers arrested and punished, with
the result that several who were known
to have been connected with the crime
have been apprehended. DeMores was
supposed, or reported, to have been
carrying large sums of money, and 1t
is supposed this tempted the cupidity
of the natives and led to his death.

CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL.
House Begins Consideration Of the
~ Measure.

Washington, April 5.-At the con-
clusion of routine business in the
house Mr.. Mahon (Pa.) asked unani-
nous consent that the omnibus claim
bill be sent to conference, but Mr..
Maddox (Ga.) objected. This was the
day set aside for, the consideration of
war claims but Mr.. Mahon, chairman
OF the committee on war claims, yield
ed with the understanding that a
week from Tuesday be devoted to war
claims and the house thereupon went
into committee of the whole and took
up the Chinese exclusion bill. The
speaker called upon Mr.. Moody
(Mass.), who is to succeed Secretary.
Long May 1, to preside over the COM
mittee of the whole. AS the future
secretary of the navy assumed the
gayel the members on both sides of the
house gave him an ovation.
Mr.. Hit (nls.), chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs, who had
personal charge of the exclusion bill,
said the committee was unanimous in
the opinion that the admission of Chi
nese laborers into this country would
be a serious evil. One of the main
problems which the committee had to
solve, he said, was in connection with
the admission of the privileged classes,
merchants, travellers, officials, teach
#ers and students, SO as to prevent
fraud and at the same time to avoid
harrassing and tormenting bona fide
Chinese merchants. Mr.. Perkins IN.
Y.), who drew the report upon the
bill, explained the measure in detail.
Mr.. Clark fNo.), a member of the
committee which made a minority re-
port in favor of the senate bill, which
is more drastic than the house meas
ure, followed Mr.. Perkins. He predict
ed that if the supreme court should
decide that the citizens and subjects
of Spain in the Philippines became cit.
izens by annexation. thus allowing the
free entry OF Cinnamon into the Unit
led States from the Philippines, the ISL
ands would be unloaded.

DR.. Clinton II. Catherwood, an -

New York, April 5.-Dr. Clinton H
Catherwood of this city. who has de-
voted his time and his wealth not only
to the scientific investigation of tuher-
culosis but to the gratuitous treatment
of the consumptive poor, has contract
ed the disease from one of his patients
and is now on his way to Colorado,
hoping the climate there will help him
save his own life. He is 27 years old
and has been practicing medicine only
few years. When he left college and
started out on a career which, because
of his wealth and social position was
most promising one, he was not only
very robust but was -classed among
the athletic. He became surgeon at
both the Hudson street and French
hospitals. At his home he devoted GER
tain hours every day to poor tuberculo-
sis patients. He studied necessarily
and believed he was on the eve of in.
portant discoveries for the cure of the
disease when he was smitten.
