BOTH CHILDREN DEAD
FATAL TERMINATION OF IN
JURIES SUSTAINED BY FIRE.
Sad Results Of Blaze at MIR. Fowle's
Home-Mrs. Fowle In Serious
Condition.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
KENSINGTON, Md. November 81. 1903.
The two children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ber-
nard H. Fowle, who were SO horribly burn
ed at the fire at the family residence here
Thursday night, have since died. The old
est. James Johnston Fowle, died yesterday,
and the other, John Dorsey Fowle. this
morning at about 3 o'clock. James was
two years and six months old, and little
hope was entertained for his recovery by
the attending physicians from the time of
the accident, the extent of his injuries be-
ing so great as to be beyond the aid of
medical skill. Every effort was made to
save the child's life.
The other boy. John, eight months old,
was not at the time thought to be so seri-
ously injured, but owing doubtless to his
tender age he died from the effects of the
burns as stated, at o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Fowle, who made heroic efforts 10
save the lives Of her children after the fire
was discovered, is in a most critical con-
dition, the extent of her injuries being
much greater than was at first supposed.
1t is said that after rescuing the two chill
dren now dead she went to the burning
room the second time, believing that there
was still another child in the room. This
proved not to be true, however, as all of
the other children. three In number. were
safe and were being cared for by friends
and neighbors.
To any one having seen the fire at its
height 1t seems almost incredible that any
person could have gone to the room so soon
after the first trip made by Mrs. Fowle and
return alive. No one had any idea that the
fire could be got under control, and the
burning Of the house and its contents was
feared by all who saw the blaze
The case of James is particularly sad to
the parents, who only this past summer
nursed him through a spell Of sickness
which at the time was thought to be
critical
Mrs. Fowle is from Alexandria, Va, and
was a Miss Dorsey. Her mother was a
daughter Of James NJ Mason, whose
name is household word throughout
Virginia. Mr. Fowle is a brother-in-law
Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. the latter having
married a sister Of Mr.. Fowle. and he Is
also cousin of Mr.. James NJ. Johnston,
the vice president of the Riggs National
Bank. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Fowle are we'll
and favorably known in Washington.
Their family life, it is said, has been an
ideal one.

Rabbi simon's Fervent Appeal to the
Hebrew Race

Rabbi Abraham Simon of Omaha, Neb.,
delivered sermon last evening at the
Eighth Street Temple to the congregation
or that synagogue The services were be-
gun at 1880 o'clock. DR.. Simon took for his
theme. United Israel" and spoke of the
unfortunate mistake made by the Jewish
people In falling to keep a census of their
race, as commanded by the Bible BY this
failure. DIR. Simon stated. they were unable
TO estimate their strength. and he made a
strong appeal that the Jews come together
and perfect union. He spoke of their an
cestors-aH being from the one race-and
stated that the radical. orthodox and the
reformed. could be united as one following.
In speaking Of the issues of today, he
stated that they did not have to wage a
war Of physical strength but rather of
moral character and stated that their
weapons are enthusiasm, knowledge and
ranliness. and assured his hearers that IL
they could lay aside their differences sue
cess would reward their efforts. Dr. Simon
spoke of the freedom granted to those Of
the Hebrew faith in this country and pre-
dicted that their future here would be one of
unusual success.
Rabbi Simon preached again at the
temple this morning at 10 O'Clock on "The
Possibilities of the Jew in America" He
will leave this city for his home tomorrow.

Buildings and Repairs.
IN CHESS CIRCLES

Harry Nelson Pillsbury, the champion
chess player Of America was the guest of
the Washington Chess Club last Saturday
afternoon and evening. In the afternoon
Mr.. Pillsbury gave blindfold exhibition of
chess and checkers against eight chess
players and four of checkers, not losing a
single game Of chess, winning five and
drawing three, and at checkers losing one
and drawing three. The entertainment Of
Tered by Mr.. Pillsbury is indeed wonderful,
and 1t is safe to say that there is not a
player In the chess world today who can
compare with him in feats of memory.
Among those players whom he met were
some of the best in the District, yet with
ample opportunity for analysis and the
board In front of them, the best any of
these could do was to draw against the
master, ne at the same time having to
carry IN his mind, only, the other eleven
games in progress. Mr.. Pillsbury met the
following players blindfold:
Board d-Mr. 3. B. Walker, Ruy Lopez. II
beard 2-Dr J: q. Smedes, X. b. Game.
Board 4-Mr. W. f. T,bbetts Ruy Lopez. ......0
Board 5-Mr R. a. Goldsborough Vienna. y

Board MIR. W. B, Mundel e, Cross. ..........1
R beard M M. s 8; aaris sI.o Cross
Dodra o-hr. hpkeh single Corner. ~
Board 4-Mr. Weiss, Double Corner. ........... "
In the evening Mr.. Pillsbury gave a
simultaneous exhibition against nineteen
chess boards and six checker players, In
which he lost two-to Mr.. Sournin, cham
pion of the District, and Mr. II. N. Stacy
and drew two with Messrs. Elliot and
Guthrie, Winning from Messrs. Ray. Nit
cfell. Hodges Graham MundeIl, Shade
Hsrrald. Whipple, Seaman. Fox, Sheriff.,
Schinman, Tibhets. Arend and Key. and
In checkers drawing with Mr. w. E. Potts
and winning from Harlan Thornton,
Grove, Everett and Hutchinson. Mr.. Pills
bury's most brilliant play of the day was
undoubtedly on the board played by Mr..
Guthrie. With a mate In two inevitable.
after having been outplayed throughout the
game by the local player, the champion
saved himself from defeat by forced
stale mate, sacrificing both of his rocks. 1t
was beautiful ending of a pretty game.
Mr.. Pilisbury left Washington Sunday
morning, and will be engaged in the New
England states for the next two months.
after which he will rest for the Cambridge
Springs tourney in April "a
The Following games were played by the
champion during his visit:

TO REMAIN AT FORT SILL.
Department Opposed to Transfer of
Apache Prisoners.

Gen. Oliver, assistant secretary of war.
has disapproved the proposition made by
Major Gen. Bates. commanding the De-
partment of the Lakes, for the transfer of
the Apache prisoners Of war from the
Fort Sill reservation in Oklahoma to the
reservation at Fort Reno In the same ter
ritory with view to the utilization of the
Fort Sill reservation for military maneu-
vers on large scale. The Fort Sill reser-
walton. with the wood reserve, comprises
1927 acres and, according to Gen. Bates,
is an ideal place for army maneuvers.
In submitting his proposition to the War
Department he said the post was located in
a mild climate, where troops could be in
structed in the open for the greater part of
the year, and that the terrain was admira-
bly, adapted for maneuvers The Apache
prisoners have occupied the reservation
since 1894
ut seems undesirable" says Gen. Bates,
"to allow such a reserva ton so favorable
for military instruction to pass from the
control of the War Department. On the
other hand. the progress these Indians have
made toward civilization is justly en- titled
to mature consideration, and humanity die
ates that their interests be closely guarded
by the government.
at is believed to be worthy of considera-
ton to transfer the Apache prisoners Of
war to the Fort Reno reservation, contain
ing 9493 acres. about ninety miles from
Fort Sill, giving 1t to them outright, in
Guiding the buildings thereon, which, with
perhaps some slight alterations, might be
made to admirably shelter these Indians"
The question has received serious con-
s1deration at the War Department and
various persons interested in the matter
have been heard from for and against the
proposition. Secretary Root and Assistant
Secretary Oliver have finally reached the
conclusion that there Is no special occasion
for disturbing the Indians in their homes
for the present. They were unable to see
the special necessity for such radical action
In view Of the fact that even II the pro-
posed maneuvers were held on the Fort Sill
reservation they would hardly cover a
period Of more than two weeks time in the
year. and that was not considered a suffl-
cient advantage to justify the transfer

tg) This little slap taken into glory cost Mr..
Pillsbury the game. He overlooked my reply with

time attacked the rock, as rock had no other pos
sible play except Kits, which is evidently worse.
White plays R-K3, then Black moving with
queens pawns forms two diagonals, which virtu-

resign.
Herbert T. Guthrie has determined to ac-
cept the challenge of Mr.. Sournin for a
match at the odds of pawn and move. Mr..
Guthrie is one of the strongest players in
the District, and If he should win this match
would be the logical candidate to contest
with Mr.. Sournin for the championship Of
the District. The details Of the match have
not been announced.
Mr.. Guthrie gave Mr.. Pillsbury a hard
game while here, and seemingly had the
game won when Mr.. PillSbury announced
Stalemate In four, thus forcing draw. The
score follows:

THE COLOMBIAN DEBT
THOUGHT HERE THAT PANAMA
SHOULD ASSUME A SHARE
This Government Will Not Dictate
Naval Force in Isthmian Waters
Will Probaly Be Reduced.

The British government Is showing an
interest in the fate of the bonds issued
by Colombia and taken up by foreigners,
mostly British and Dutch holders. Mr..
Raikes, the British charge here. had
half hours talk today with Secretary Hay
at the State Department, and 1t is believed
that that subject was touched upon. Baron
Covers, the Dutch minister here, also had
a talk with Secretary Hay during the past
two days
The position of the department, in brief,
is that II cannot dictate to the new republic
of Panama what disposition shall be made
OF the money which is to be paid over by
the United States In consideration Of canal
rights, but 1t certainly holds that 1t Is
only right and just that Panama. in con-
Guiding treaty of peace with Colombia,
shall make provision for the assumption OF
a fair share of the national debt So 1t Is
expected that the moral force of the de-
partment will be put forth In that direc-
ton.
The State Department has not yet been
informed officially OF the result of Gen.
Reyes mission to the isthmus, and indeed.
II Is stated that there had been no advices
from that quarter for the past two days.
Neither has Mr.. Beaupre been heard from.
but there is no apprehension on the score
OF his safety.
The Maine May Be Withdrawn.
1t was stated positively at the State and
Navy Departments today that there Is no
intention of reinforcing the naval force In
isthmian waters beyond the original plan,
and. so far from sending more battle ships
there. 1t is probable that the Maine will be
withdrawn, and all the larger vessels of
that type, they deteriorate rapidly In the
tropical waters, and are not near as well
adapted to the services required as the
lighter gunboats.
Panama Representatives Absent.
The Panama minister and the commits
sioners from Panama being all absent from
Washington at present. there was a lull in
tsthmian affairs and no interesting develop
ments are expected until the appearance
here In tile next few days Of the Colombian
delegation, which arrived at Galveston a
few days ago. and the appearance later
next week of General Reyes reported to be
bound to Washington from the isthmus.
1t Is believed here that the generals princi-
pal purpose is to try to effect an adjust
meIrt of his countrys troubles by securing
for the Colombian government some share
OF tn emoney which the United States un-
der the new treaty will pay to Panama.
