GO THROUGH FIRE
Pittsburg Has a Stubborn
Blaze Whose Damage May
Reach 100000.

PiTTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 29.-For
twelve hours today thirteen engine
companies battled with a stubborn fire
in the six-story storage warehouse of
Haugh & Keenan,. Crossed electric
wires is given as the cause of the con-
flagration. The loss, according to
James F. keenan,, president Of the
company. will not fall below 5000, 900,
and may reach 100000. The insur-
ance will not cover more than one
tenth Of the loss.
Mr.. Keenan, blames the steel shutters
and doors, which are approved by the
fire underwriters, for most Of the
damage. He contends that If the fire.
men had been able to open these
doors and shutters the flames would
have been under control long before
they were. All the goods that were not
burned were damaged by the flood of
water poured into the building.

Inc secretary fully appreciates the

situation here. Gen. Reyes has ex-
pressed his indebtedness both to Mr..

Gen. Reyes deprecates the publica-

to be incorrect. He does not want to

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 20
A merciful referee probably saved Ed
die Hanlon from being killed by
Young Corbett" tonight when he stop
ped their contest in the middle of the
sixteenth round. For two rounds pre-
vious Referee Graney had begged Han
Ions seconds to take their man out
of the ring, but they kept the game
fearing that a fatality might result, or
dered the fight stopped.
No man ever received such terrific
punishment in a San Francisco ring
and probably Young Corbett' is the
only man in the country who could adj
minister such beating to Hanlon.
When the San Francisco boy was
carried to his corner, still conscious but
unable to walk, his seconds worked
vigorously to revive him. The terribly
beaten lad, however. commenced to
vonit blood and things looked very
serious for him for a short time He
finally was revived and was carried
from the ring by one of his seconds.
Before he left Young Corbett'' paid
a high tribute to his skill and game
ness and saluted his brother prize
fighter with an affectionate kiss. 1t
must be said for Corbett that he was as
merciful, under the circumstances, as
he could be. During the fourteenth and
fifteenth rounds he, too, was anxious to
have the fight stopped in order to save
HanlOn needless punishment.
The fight tonight demonstrated that
Corbett is any mans superior at his
weight. At no time during the contest
was he in any apparent danger and

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 29.-At

Panama situation was the principal
subject under consideration. All mem
bers of the cabinet except Secretary
Hay, who is i'll, Secretary Shaw and
Attorney General Knox, who are out
or the city, were present In addition
TO discussion of matters relating to
Panama several departmental matters
OF minor importance were consider
ed.
Secretary Root was delayed In his
arrival at the meeting, having been in
conference with Gen. Reyes, the special
representative of Colombia. This cir
cumstance caused it to transpire that
during the illness of Secretary Hay
secretary Root has been designated by
the president to conduct the negotia-
tions of this government with Gen.
Reyes. Secretary Root laid before the
president the details of his interview
with the Colombian minister. Careful
consideration was given to the Colom-
Dlan note filed with the state depart
ment by Gen. Reyes, but no answer
yet has been made to it. Secretary
Root informed Gen. Reyes this after
noon that the reply of this government
was not ready but that it would be
given him as soon as possible. Sec
retary Root will give the response to
Gen. Reyes when a decision as to it's
precise nature shall have been reached.
No intimation of the contents of Gen.
Reyes note or Of the reply of this gov
ernment is given from any authorita-
tive source. 1t is known, however,
that the administration regards the
ratification of the treaty with the re-
public of Panama as the first step to
be taken in the entire pending matter.
what this government may do subse-
quently will be determined, at least in
part, by the circumstances then sur

the situation to arouse serious con-

CROOKSTON, Mimi, Dec. 29-
What might have been a very serious
catastrophe, with a heavy loss of life
and a long list of injured, has been
averted by the bravery and coolness
of mind of a Crookston man.
The large Great Northern railroad
bridge over the Mouse river at Surrey.
N. D., in some mysterious manner
caught fire late at night, and the struc-
ture in a short while was a mass of
charred ruins. No. 4, the east bound
fast coast train, was approaching the
burning bridge, and the crew had no
knowledge of the fire. Owing to the
fierce wind and blizzard which en-
veloped the prairie the blaze could not
be seen for more than 100 yards, and
the approaching train, had it not been
for the bravery and GOODNESS of Floyd
Greenhough, of this city, well known
in railroad circles and an old hand at
the throttle on the Dakota division, the
fast train would have rushed into the
mass of ruins to which the bridge was
shortly reduced.
Telegraphic communication was cut
off shortly after the fire started, and
railroad men at Granville were in u
quandary about warning the approach
ing flyer. The bridge which crosses
the Mouse river is ten miles east of
Minot, and Norwich was the nearest

when it ended there was not mark
upon him. Hanlon's most peculiar and
very effective defense was all that saw
ed him from a knockout early in the
game. Even when he become tired and
could not protect himself Corbett could
not land a knockout blow.
In the thirteenth round and four
teenth round Corbett began to show
what he could do The men were al
lowed to fight in the clinches and Cor
bett, leaning his head against Hanlon's
shoulder and with his arms free, would
punch him in the stomach with his
right and swing short lefts on his jaw.
That was the beginning of the end.
In the fifteenth Corbett backed Han
Ion into a corner, and when the San
Francisco boy swung feebly, Corbett
swung two lightning lefts. and Hanlon
went down. He took the count of
eight, but struggled to his feet and
again received the terrific punishment
Corbett was dealing out to him. 1t
was then that Graney wanted the fight
stopped.
In the seventh round things looked
bright for the Californian. He scored
a clean knockdown when he landed a
right swing on the point of Corbett's
jaw. The Denver lad was UP in an in
stant, however, and apparently was not
injured by the blow.
HanIon Makes Last Stand.
In the twelfth round Hanlon made
his last stand. All through it he did
the forcing and leading. Corbett was
swinging wild, when Eddie landed a
terrific right on the stomach 1t evil

Hanlon was protecting his head and
stomach by crossing his arms and
gloves, Corbett would push his head
back with his left and uppercut him
with his right. The blows did no ap-
parent harm, but eventually they told.
Hanlon would fight in the clinches,
but COrbett was even more proficient
than he at that style, and it was this
ability to land hard short-arm blows
that led to him winning the fight.
The sixteenth round had lasted but
a minute and forty seconds when Ref
cree Graney stopped the fight. Han
Ion, when seen in his dressing room,
was still in great distress and refused
to talk much. He did say, however,
that Corbett can beat any Of them.

PLEAD FOR THE BOY
All Nevada Tries to Save In
dian From Moose.

CARSON, New, Dec. 29.-Entire
Observation-Disclosures press, clergy and
citizens of all classes-is working to
save the life of an Indian boy of six
teen who is under sentence to be hang
ed Jan. %, 1904, for killing white
renegade who tried to steal his dusky
sweetheart. The story is one of un-
usual color, even in border life, pre-
senting the only case on record in
which the white population of the
state is united in trying to preserve
the life of an Indian.
Conchi is the name of the boy, and
he is a Piute. The man he killed was
known as 'Wild Bin'' Williams, who
fled to the Piute reservation a few
years ago to escape punishment for
horse stealing. He did not abandon
his criminal life when he obtained ref
uge, but the Indians were not the ones
TO surrender him to justice, though
his immunity was chiefly due to his
hardness with Shooting irons" Be
sides he took for a squaw one of their
own tribe-the mother of Conchi's
sweetheart.
From that day Conchfs troubles be-
gan. His lesson that the path of true
love never runs smoothly was quickly
learned. From the mother Williams
turned to the daughter. Conchi per-
sisted in his wooing, and, like a true
lover, endured both contumeIy and in
Justice. In order to be near his be-
loved he worked for weeks and even
months for Williams and only wonder
lngly shrugged his shoulders when he
was refused pay by the desperado.
Finally the crisis came. Resolved to
have the girl, Williams ordered Conchi
to stay away under pain of death. A
few weeks later Williams went to a
neighboring ranch and Conchi followed
him. They ate dinner together, and
then, having again warned the youth
to beware of death If he persisted in
his wooing, Williams calmly went to
sleep on the porch. Conchi seized the
desperado's own rifle and instantly
killed him.
His Indian conscience acquitted him
of any wrong-for how else. he reason
ed, could he obtain justice from the
white man? Conchi calmly went
home and told of his deed. When
taken into court at Phoebe he told his
pathetic story in his simple manner,
but his lawyer had instructed him to
plead guilty, and therefore the Judge
had no recourse save in the sentence
TO hang. There is every prospect that
the board of pardons will grant the APP
peal.
