HOAR SAYS HE
WAS MISQUOTED
Senator From Massachusetts,
Declares He Had No Desire
to Reflect on the President
WITH FORAKER
Ohio Man Is Charged With
Misrepresentation and Quite
Heated Debate Follows

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The fea-
ture of to-day's session of the Senate
was a speech from Hoar in explana-
ton of his former speech on the 18TH
mian canal situation. He complained
of the criticisms of his utterances at
that time, saying that he had been
misunderstood and misrepresented
and contended that his intention on
that occasion had been to secure full
information on the Panama revolt
and not to cast reflections on the Pres
ident.
Foraker was mentioned among 9TH
ers who had criticized the first speech,
and after Hoar had concluded the
Ohio Senator replied that he had not
meant unjustly to reflect on Hoar and
justifying his remarks by quoting
from Hoar's original speech. Hoar
replied, accusing Foraker not only of
having misrepresented him on the first
occasion, but of misrepresenting him
to-day The result was a sharp coll
loquy at short range and when it came
to a conclusion the Senators did not
appear to have approached any near
er to an understanding than at the be-
ginning.
The two Senators stood within two
or three feet of each other and talked
back and forth directly. They gestic-
ulated earnestly and spoke with great
emphasis, frequently punctuating
their remarks with expressions of mu-
tuaI regard. Each asserted more than
once that the other was mistaken and
as frequently the statement was made
that each had been misunderstood.
The situation was quite tense and en-
dured for several minutes until the
presiding officer called attention to
the violation of the rules of debate.
The immediate point of dispute was
the question whether at the time of
Hoar's former speech denial had been
made of the Presidents completely in
the Panama affair, Hoar contending
that no such denial had been made.
Hoar quoted the Presidents denial
of completely on the part of the Unit
ed States and asked;
rs there any man. friend or foe,
who will doubt that statement? Will
the campaign orators from Portland
to San Francisco have among them
one who will accuse that brave and
honest man with dishonesty when he
gave utterance to that statement?"

THREE LIVES
LOST IN FIRE
In Ruins of AIhambra Theater
of Chicago Bodies of Two
Men and a Woman Are Found

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-Fire to-day
partially destroyed the building oc-
cupied by the AIhambra Theater,
hotel and apartments. The structure
was three stories high and fronted on
Archer avenue and State and Nine
teenth streets. After the fire was ex-
tinguished three bodies were found
in a room on the top floor of the
building. From the position of the
remains the two men had apparently
attempted 10 assist the woman to es-
cape, but had been overcome by
smoke. All clothing was burned from
the bodies and the flesh scared and
scorched. The remains of the men
were identified as William Fisher and
Frank Beckman. both Of whom had
recently arrived here from Cincinnati.
The body Of the woman was identified
as that Of Anna Smith.
There were many narrow escapes
and several persons had to be car
ried down the fire escapes.
The Alhambra Theater, around
which the hotel is built was partly
destroyed. In the theater new stage
fittings and furnishings had been in
stalled, and remodeling in compliance
with the new theater ordinance had
practically been completed. The fire
is supposed to have started from an
overheated boiler in the basement of
the Alhambra restaurant. The smoke
soon filed the halls of the upper sto-
ries. and but for the night clerk, Phil
lip Vingo, the firemen asserted, there
would probably have been much
greater loss Of life. Vingo ran
through the halls. awakening the zoe
] guests. A moment later the halls were
filed with half-naked men and
women, who groped their way down
the stairs to the snow-covered streets
and sought refuge in neighboring
stores. The Alhambra Theater is
owned by stair & Haviland. owners
I Of the Bijou, Columbus and other the
aters in Chicago. The loss is estimated
at SIS, 900.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
Bard introduced in the Senate to-day
and Mr.. McLachlan in the House a
bill calculated to secure for Los An
geles the site for it's Federal building,
which the conferees Of the urgent de-
ficiency bill refused to provide. The
bills are identical and authorize the
Secretary Of the Treasury to enlarge
the present site as desired by pur-
chase or condemnation. provided the
property can be had for not more than
$225,000. In case of failure in this
then he may secure by the same means
any other land in the same block that
may be suitable, the price not to ex-
ceed 100000 or he may sell the prop
erty owned by the Government and
purchase another site at a cost not to
exceed, in addition to the proceeds of
the sale. the sum named. This bill
does not increase the total appropria-
tion of $3.50, 600 for the site and build
ing, but the increased allowance for
the site leaves a shortage of $19,600,
which the House refused to make
good, to be cut from the appropriation
for the building. A new bill next ses-
sion, it is expected, will provide the
deficiency.
Senator Perkins to-day introduced
bill to provide for the appointment of
an additional District Judge for the
Northern District of California, The
bill provides that the senior Circuit
Judge of the Ninth Circuit, or the resi-
dent Circuit Judge within the district
shall make the necessary order for
the division of business or assignment
of cases for the northern judicial dis
trict.
This bill is identical with that intro
duced in the House by Metcalf. Letters
have been received by Senator Perkins
from Judges Ross, Gilbert and Nor
row, who join in saying that this bill
meets every requirement for the relief
of Federal courts and that the creation
of an additional judicial district is not
necessary.
The Judiciary Committee of the
House has ordered a favorable report
upon Jones bill for the creation of
second Judicial district in the State of
Washington, which provides for divis-
ion of State by Cascade Mountain
range.
The three Representatives Of Wash
ington have each fathered a different
division of the State. Cushman would
have divided it with line running
east and west between Tacoma and Sc
attic. which would have left the seat of
the court in each of these principal
cities of the State. Humphrey would
have cut a square out of the northwest
corner of the State to include Seattle,
which would have left Tacoma and
Spokane to fight for the location of
the court. Jones bill, which divides
the State by a north and south line,
leaves the court of the first district to
remain as now, in Seattle, while that
of the second will naturally go to Spo-
kane, the metropolis east of the noun
tains.

Democratic Chances.

The Republicans have habit of
sneeringly saying, "Oh, the Democrats
can't win anything this year, but
may be in 1908 there will be some
possibility" OF course, we do not
blame them for whistling while walk
ing through graveyard, but they will
tell us why there Is not a good chance
for Democratic success in this year of
our Lord 1904?
Is it because of the post office scan.
dals that the Republicans refused to
probe? Is it because of the Senator
Burton tangle? (Nhile Burton was
prosecuted, did that prove anything In
PARTICULAR? Is it because Senator
DIETRICH of Nebraska was indicated
by jury of other Republicans who
were as deep in the mud as he was in
the mire? Was 1t because Of the fight
in Illinois where convention broke
the record for long-distance balloting7
Is 1t because of the fight In New York
between Plat and Odell? Is 1t due to
the fight in Wisconsin whereby La
Toilette, Populist parading as Re
publican, captured the nomination for
governor by force?
If those are the reasons Republicans
wish to urge, it may be that we can
not read the signs. Aside from that.

He nPut ont. the Light.

When Plus Whallen, of Springfield,
Ky, came to the Fifth Avenue Hotel
he saw his first incandescent light,
says Louisville paper. But he evinc-
ed no great surprise. 1t was not until
he went to his room, where the bell
boy had already switched the current,
that he noticed that there was no
opening in the circular globe.
He blew upon 1t gently, and was
encouraged rather than disheartened
to find that it didn't blow back. But
the encouragement turned to anger
when stronger Whit produced no
result whatever. Mr.. Whallen has
strong lungs, and he did his best, his
Indignation increasing with each eff
fort.
To his great relief he noticed that
the string by which the strange light
was suspended contained loop to
shorten it. The light hung over the
dresser. Mr.. Whallen let out the loop
and put the light in the top drawer of
the dresser. He closed the drawer
and found to his satisfaction that the
room was III Styxgian darkness. So he
lay down and slept peacefully with no
light to annoy him.

Dreadful Music.

The songs Of today do not have long
lease of life. The writer sings to-
gether a few rhymeless, meterless
stanzas and hastens to the composer.
Professor" he exclaim, 81 must have
the music" very WE'LL" replies TIL,
composer. you shall have It,"
"When?" "Oh, in few weeks, when
the spirit moves me-" "Weeks!" By
Godfrey, must have it tomorrow
night!" 1T is impossible. "Then
I engage another composer" Don't.
l will give you the music tomorrow
night" So the man of c,efs. stats
and quavers buckles down to work.
In his noddle there is not notion of
originality. He gets together an as
sortment of strains from dozen diff
ferent composers, beats them up as
the cook beats eggs, blends them as
the barkeep blends whiskey, soldiers
them together as tho timer does a
pan, and there you are; something to
be sung for month and die. Thus
are our modern composers overwork-
ed. They have not the time to invent.

as steel and his energies doubled and
trebled by the deadly peril, he hurled
his tense forearms upon the mass that
held him down.
Crack! The cake split of, and lay
loosely across his chest.
He had succeeded at last, but not a
Inoment too soon, for the water was
tapping his cheeks. With final en-
deavor he pushed the severed cake
aside, and putting his arms behind
him, lifted his stiffened frame to an
upright position. The long chilling
pressure had almost numbed his body,
and he was weak as reed from the
struggle he had won.

tide floated the slab sufficiently to al
low, him to draw his legs from under

water.

not do to remain there, however, so,
slowly and painfully, he started to
drag himself homeward.
The effort he was obliged to make,
hard though it seemed, was of the
greatest benefit to him, for 1t gradu-
ally set the blood circulating oace
more through his benumbed body. By
the time he had gone two hundred
yards he was able to ri to his feet
and begin a slow, hobbi.hg walk. On
reaching home he said nothing of his
adventure, although he felt its effects
for weeks afterward.
