Forsyth Fire Mystery Solved.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 7.-Remorse
made William F. Wilson, a prisoner
at the Four Courts, confess that he
was responsible for the fire in the Oc-
cidental hotel at Forsyth, Rosebud
county, Mont, on July 5, 1901, in
which one man lost his life and others
sustained serious injuries. He said
that he had not purposely set the hotel
on fire, but knowing that he was re.
sponsible he thought that he might be
punished for criminal carelessness.
On the night of July 5, 1901, he said,
he entered the hotel at O'Clock a. m.
He struck match in the hall, which
he carlessly threw into basket filed
with waste paper. He stepped into his
room, leaving the door open, and
started to undress. Soon the flames
were shooting high in the halls. He
rushed out of his room and down the
stairs, shouting fire. when he
reached the bottom. By that time the
fire had gained such headway that it
could not be controlled.

WAR MAY BE AVERTED.
Trouble Between Russia and Japan May
BE Satisfactorily Adjusted.

TOXIC, Jan. S.-The Japanese gov.
ernment has practically determined to
continue negotiations. 1t is dissat tbs.
fed with Russia's terms, but does not
feel warranted in issuing an ultima
tum or breaking off negoti ations, and
will make another effort to secure
their modification before resorting to
force. 1t is anticipated that the dis.
cussion will consume a few weeks,
during which interim a breach of the
peace is improbable.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Represent-
ative Slayden Dem, Tex. intro
duced a resolution in the house re-
Questing the president to render the
good offices or offer the mediation of
the United States to Russia and ia
pan. The resolution follows:
Whereas, by the provisions of The
Hague peace convention of 1889, ten.
der of good offices or mediation by a
nation, stranger to a dispute, cannot
be regarded as an unfriendly act, and
"Whereas, warlike difficulties are
now threatened between Russia and
Japan, which countries, as we'll as the
United States, are signatories to The
Hague peace conventions:
"Resolved, by the senate and the
house of the United States of America
in congress assembled, that the presi-
dent be requested to tender the good
Offices or mediation of the United
States to Russia and Japan with rela-
ton to their present dispute and re.
mind them, in accord ance with The
Hague peace convention, that the per.
manent court OF arbitration is open to
them.''

CHICAGO, j an. 9.-It was discover
ed today that two iron gates, the ex-
istence of which had not been known
to the public and which were removed
from the lroquois theater after the
fire, played a deadly part in the de-
struction of life in the ill-fated play
house. Fire Inspector Fulkerson, who
knew of their existence, was not able
until today to secure sworn evidence
concerning them. Today, Geo. N.
Dusen berry, head usher of the theater,
admitted that these gates were placed,
one across an exit from the first bal.
cony and the other across an exit
from the second balcony. Both gates
we're locked securely with padlocks
and were never, at any performance,
unlocked until after the second act of
the play,
