FIFTY-TWO WOMEN
BURNED TO DEATH
Fire in London Asylum Has Tragic
Consequences.

LONDON, Jan. 27-Fifty-two in
sane patients were burned to death by
a fire at the Colney Hatch asylum to-
day. The outbreak occurred in the
Jewish wing of the institution. Five
wooden buildings, including dormf-
tories and the doctors apartments,
were gutted. All the efforts Of the of
ficials were directed to removing the
insane inmates, but the latter became
wild with excitement and so panic
stricken that not only were they un-
able to- help themselves, but greatly
impeded those trying to save them.
There were nearly 600 women in the
burned annex, and most of them were
safely transformed to the main build
ing, which was uninjured. Some, how
ever, escaped and are still at large.
The nurses had a terrible expert
ence in trying to assist the insane peo-
pie, who were so panic-stricken that
they had literally to be driven to a
place of safety. The inf1ammable
premises almost Immediately became
a furnace. Nothing was left stand
ing. Some Of the lunatics were burned
in their beds and the Charred remains
of others were found huddled together
in corners, while groups of partially
consumed bodies on the site of the corr
ridors showed that many persons lost
their lives and sacrificed those of 9TH
ers in their frantic efforts to force a
passage through the flames to the main
building. All the victims were women.

LEAVE ALASKAN
BOUNDARY ALONE
A Washington Congressman
Wants Old interpretations
of Treaty to Stand.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 27.-
representative Jones, of Washington,
today introduced the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, 1t has been reported that
a treaty has been signed by the United
States and Great Brwitain providing
for commission to interpret the trea-
ty of 1925 between Russia and Great
Britain for fixing the Alaskan boun-
dary line; and, whereas, there was no
uncertainty as to the meaning of the
said treaty when 1t was executed; and,
whereas. the interpretation given to it
at the time of it's execution was ac4
cepted and acknowledged by Great
Britain for more than fifty years and
no questions were made concerning 1T
until after the discovery of gold in
the Klondike,
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the house that there is no accession. for
further Interpretation of said treaty.
that It's terms and provisions are clear
and plain, that the United. States
should entertain and accept no .propo-
sition looking to new Interpretation.
and that the officials of this govern
ment should notify Great Britain it viii
absolutely refuse to entertain or consid-
er any other Interpretation Of said
treaty than that accepted by all par
ties for more than fifty years and that
the United States proposes and is pre-
pared to maintain its rights under the
Interpretation until after the discovery
of gold in the Klondike."
The resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.

STICKnEY WILL NOT
DISCUSS REPORTS
Will Neither Confirm Nor
Deny Great Western
Sale.

In railroad circles there is still a
persistent impression that deal in
which the transfer of the Great West
ern is involved is imminent. President
A. B. Stickney, of the Great Western,
still refuses to discuss the various re-
ports, saying:
Il am tired of these reports
report from Kansas City last even.
ing stated that there was a belief pre-
vailing there that the Great Western
had been absorbed by the st. Louis &
San Francisco. Mr.. Stickney, however,
when asked in regard to it, declared:
'tIt is absurd"
Being asked to confirm the report
from New York to the effect that Vice
President Oppenheim had stated that
the negotiations were progressing sat
isfactorily; Mr.. Stickney positively re-
fused to make a statement.
'fWill you then authorize a denial of
the report that the Great Western has
be en- sold?" Mr.. Stickney was asked.
81 will authorize nothing he replied.
The fact that Mr.. Stickney refuses
to deny the report lends weight to it,
if, indeed, there was at any time any
reason for doubling it, for if there was
no foundation for the reports it would
be easy to put an end to them by a
simple denial. The details of the
deal are, of course, as yet unknown, nor
is it known who the purchaser is.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-John D. Rock
efeller will spend $7,OO0,o00 to find a
cure for consumption. The plans for
the medical department Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago following the annexa-
ton of Rush Medical college became
known today. They involve an elabor-
ate scheme for a great research hospi-
tai to be erected on the Midway cam
pus. 1t is known that it is the supreme
desire of Mr. Rockefeller to find a Sc
rum that will cure consumption, and
to this end millions will be given to
the institution for original research.
The plans contemplate the immediate
expenditure of $7,O00.0OO as soon as
the Rush Medical college scheme has
been worked out and it was said to-
day that the rich patron of the uni
versity would supply the money. Mr..
Rockefeller made it known to the trus-
tees Of the University of Chicago at a
recent meeting that he did not care so
much for the number of doctors that
the Rush Medical college could put out
into the world as to bring out men who
would go into original research to find
cures for the stubborn diseases, most
particularly consumption.

Nathan Springer and Moses Springer
were arrested today by detectives from
the district attorneys office on charges
of attempted subornatiea of perjury il,
connection with an alleged swindIing
scheme through which enormous sums
are believed to have been lost by the
department of taxes. District Attorney
Jerome said tonight that he had infor-
nation that the prisoners had ap-
preached many persons with induce
ments to have their tax assessments
cut down. In one instance an assess
ment of $25O,O00 had been almost en-
tirely obliterated.
The specific case in which the ar
rests were made was that Of Monroe B.
Bryant, .jeweler, who is said to have
been approached with a suggestion that
for half Of the amount saved his as
sessment might be reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000. The first information
regarding the case was given to Dis
trfct Attorney Jerome by William Har..
court, an actor, who said that he had
been approached by Nathan Springer.

After being furnished by Nathan
Springer with minute directions as to
what he should do, Secor accompanied
by Baer and followed by several de-
tectives, went to the Office of the tax

ment reduced from $4,000 to $4,000

WANT CLEVELAND

Ex-President, Richard Olney
and Shepard Hold a
Conference.
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
= NEW YORK, Jan. PA significant
and important political conference was
held early today in the apartments of
Ex-Secretary Richard Olney at the
Waldorf Astoria. According to Edward
M. Shepard, recent Democratic candi-
date for mayor, the conference will
have much bearing on the candidacy of
Grover Cleveland for the presidency.
Mr.. Cleveland came to town yesterday
to make a speech of eulogy of his late
friend Abram S. Hewitt. He registered
at the Waldorf. At 10 O'Clock at night
Olney arrived and secured a suite at
the same hotel. Secretary William
G. Whitney arrived SHORTLY afterward.
Shepard accompanied Cleveland to the
hotel from the city club shortly after
midnight. They went a little after
midnight to Olneys apartments. The
conference lasted nearly three hours.
Whitney and Shepard left the hotel
and went TO their homes. Cleveland and
Olney were UP early and lbreakfasted
together. They later took trains to
their respective homes. The ex-presi-
dent begged to be excused from say

ARMOUR FORCED
TO uni DAD WHEAT
Break Comes in Market, but
Still He Snatches Off
a Millien.
Special to The Globe.

Speclal to Ihe GLOBE.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Armour was
raided by the bears today, but he took
a comfortable profit on the sales he was
forced to make May wheat closed at
1915 cents, after having touched 1879
cents. Weather conditions were cred
tied with giving the bears the neces-
sary help to nuke their joint attack a
success. Wall street, caught heavily
short, was the big buyer of the day.
Armour was forced to let go of many
millions of grain. John O'Brien, rep
fesenting Bartlett, Frazier & Co., alone
sold 100000 bushels, all of it believed
to have been Armour wheat. For weeks
the price of the May option rose stead
lily, forced upward by the Armour buy
ing until the Chicago market was out
of line with every other market in the
world.
Today the break came. From every
quarter of the globe and in quick sue
cession came reports that made Ar
mour's position untenable. When the
market opened Armour's men were still
buying. The price heightened from 81
to 80 cents flat. Then came the signal
Every buying offer was quickly accom-
modated. Brokers were quick to detect
the change of sentiment. In a few
minutes thousands upon thousands of
bushels were unloaded. The market
broke In short spasms and then came
the deluge.
In all Armour disposed of 15,OO0,OOO
bushels before the mornings trading
was half over. When the price went
below so cents the shouts Of the tri-
umphant bears rocked the great ex-
change. Armour's profits on the turn
are estimated at about $1,00O,00O

cuss the meeting at all. Shepard, the
recognized Democratic strong man.
of New York, said the conference was
of no Importance. He limited that it
was time for the party to get together.
Many candidates for 1904 have been
mentioned and 1t is time for a serious
consideration of the matter. He re-
fused to say whether Cleveland or OIL
ney had been urged at the conference
to run, but from his guarded talk it
was inferred that Mr.. Cleveland will be
asked to again be the standard bearer.

SCAN STATES ACCOUNTS
ALLEY FATHERS TAX PLAN
House Committee Contem-
plates Not Only Examina-
ton of Capitol Expendi-
lures but a Thorough Over
hauling of States Accounts
for Period of Six Years.

The Nelson resolution calling for an
investigation of new capitol expendi-
lures bids fair to result in a general
shaking up of dry bones and a whole
sale scrutiny of the business transac-z
uons OF the state for the last six years.
The Nelson resolution for capitol
investigation was referred to the house
committee on public accounts and ex-
pendItures. Yesterday Chairman Won
Wald called his committee together for
organization and appointed a subcom--
mittee consisting of Messrs. Shepard.
Graham and Hickey.
The subcommittee will at once pro
ceed with the collection of data suffi-
c1ent for the commencement of the
committees work, and today the house
VIII be asked to furnish the committee
with an expert accountant and a stem
ographer. The capitol Investigation
will be thorough. The same thing will
be true of other outlets from the state
treasury If the committee Is not block
ed in it's work.
Worth Price Paid.
Six years ago the committee on pub
lie accounts and expenditures secured
the services of an expert accountant.
and beside turning up a lot of dry rot
It's report resulted in pointing out nu-
mefouS avenues of extravaganza, and
was in no small degree responsible for
Auditor Dunn's warm advocacy of the
board of control bill. The present
projected investigation is warmly ad-
vpcated by Mr.. Dunn and his friends.
A large number of house members
are anxious to repeat the experiment
OF general overhauling. Some Of
them have long been curious to know
more about the work of the printing
commission, and resolutions directing
an investigation have been pending
from the first day of the present ses-
sion.
An investigation by the committee
on public accounts and expenditures
will satisfy the curious members as
we'll as the appointment Of a special
committee, and they are not disposed
to press their point if Mr.. Won Wald's
committee Is equipped properly to per-
form it's work.
