town. They moved here forty five
years ago and have lived here ever

ON the 18th of this month. She was
until the last few years in rugged

Legation at Seoul.
Washington, Jan. 18.-The navy de-
partment has received advices con-
firmatory Of press dispatches telling
of the reinforcement of the American
guard at the United States legation at
Seoul. Two officers and sixty-four
men were SEN there from the United
States ship Vicksburg, o at Chemul-
po. They carried a machine gun with
them. There are now 100 or more
men from the Vicksburg at Seoul

The dispatches received at the navy
department show the native press to

Thirty-nine marines from the French
cruiser Pascal have arrived at Seoul
from Chemulpo to protect the French
legation.
Although twenty sailors from the
Italian cruiser Elba have been landed
to protect Signor Monaco, the Italian

cannot be easily defended, and Min
lister Monaco has been instructed In
case of danger to take refuge in the
British legation, where the Italian

ENTIRE BLOCK BURNED.
Plant Of the Wheeling Daily News
Consumed.

Wheeling, w. Va. Jan. 18.-An en-
tire block in the heart of the business
district was burned Sunday night, en-
failing a loss Of nearly 5000, 00O. The
fire originated in the boiler room Of
the Wheeling Daily News and spread
rapidly, entirely consuming the news
paper plant, wholesale liquor house
owned by Shaefer & Driehorst, and
the extensive plant Of the Locke Bros.
Shoe company. Several other build
ings caught fire but r saved by
the prompt work of the fire depart
ment and volunteer citizens. The fire
spread with such rapidity that the en-
ployes of the News had no chance to
escape by the stairways and the night
editor. Allen 3. Smith, and his as
sistant, r. M. Archer, were compelled
to jump from the second story window
into the street, escaping with slight
injuries. A few moments afterward
the six story walls collapsed.
A hot box on the engine was the
cause Of the fire. The proprietors Of
the News carried but little insurance,
but the rest Of the sufferers are well
covered. .@ FASH Il

Senator Bailey Also criticises Presi-
dent Rooseve!t's Policy.
Houston, Tex, Jan. 18.-In a signed
statement wired the Post last night
United States Senator ]. w. Bailey
SAYS that he will ''retire from public
life before dishonoring my state and
party" by voting for the ratification
of the Panama treaty.
In his statement Mr.. Bailey asserts
that the presidents personal influence
was used to secure favorable action
toward the Panama route as opposed
to the Nicaraguan; that when the Co
lombian senate refused to ratify the
treaty submitted by the United States
it was the presidents duty to take the
alternative, "but in absolute and reck-
less disregard of the imperative COM
mand of the law, which he had himself
approved, the president refused to ne
gotiate with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica."
Mr.. Bailey concluded his statement
as follows:
LET us denounce the presidents de-
flance of the law: let us accuse him
for his violation of the law Of ma
lions. I would retire from public life
before I would dishonor my state and
party by assuming that they entertain
other and different sentiments"

RESOLUTIONS FOR INQUIRY INTO
PosToFFlcE DEPARTMENT
TO BE DISCUSSED.
THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY
IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE SUB
JEcT OF DEBATE in THE SEN
ATE FOR A MONTH.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-It Is the in
tention of the senate to begin the
week by again taking up the resolu-
tions having in view an inquiry into
the conduct of the p~ostofice depart
ment and it is the general understand
ing that they will be referred to the
committee on p~ostofices after com.
paratively brief debate. Senator Hale,
who has general charge Of the resolu-
lions. will make a brief statement
concerning them and will probably be
followed by Senator German and it is
expected that Senator Spo0ner will add
to his previous remarks on this sub
ject.
1t is the hope of the Republican
senators that the postofice inquiry
resolution may be temporarily dispos I'd
of before the close of Mondays SEES
sion and in this event discussion of
the Panama canal subject will be con-
tinued Tuesday and probably during
the remainder of the week. 1t is like
ly, however, that before the close Of
the week. the debate will be trans
ferred from open senate to executive
session, as it is the purpose of the Re-
publican majority to insist on taking
up the canal treaty as soon a it shall
be reported from the committee on
foreign relations which has had 1t un
der consideration for the past few
weeks. The Republican members of
the committee hope to report the
treaty early in the week. Discussion
on the treaty is expected to last a
month or more. '~N
The committee on appropriations
will take up some of the annual sup
ply bills during the present week.. AS
soon as these measures r On the
calendar their consideration will be
pressed.
The present indications are that the
urgent deficiency bill will be the first
to receive attention and after that has
been disposed of the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill
will be taken up. 4.

Indianapolis, Jan. 18.-What prom
ises to be a most interesting conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of

The thing that makes the outlook for
the convention more interesting than
ordinarily is the fact that within the
past two months there has been ap-
parently a preconcerted 10 on the
part of several of the operators to cut
wages at the rate OF 10 cents a ton.
A conflict between operators and min

LARGER wARsHIP NEEDED.
Newport Is Tee Small to Protect

Newport Is Tee Small to Protect
Americans in Santo Domingo.
San Domingo, Jan. 15.-The revolu-
tionary general Navarro, having seized
cattle on ar estate at La Fe, which is
an American property, the agent of
the estate applied to United States
Minister Powell for protection. The
minister raj compelled to refuse the
request as he has no force at his COM
mand sufficient to guard the estate.
The force on the United States gun
boat Newport is too small to safeguard
estates from pillagers, and in order to
protect United States property, the
minister say there is great need Of a
larger warship here. If the revolu-
tionists should enter the city just
now it would be impossible to prevent
the pillage which would be sure to take
place, and there is no other warship
here to support the Newport should il
be found necessary to land men.
An incident which came near having
serious results, but for the GOODNESS
and prompt intervention of United
States Minister Powell, took place
here on the arrival of the Clyde line
steamer New York. President Morales
demanded that the shipping agent sur
render the ships letters and when the
agent refused to comply his arrest was
ordered. In order to avoid being ar
rested the agent went on board the
New York, carrying the letters with
him. He then sent for Consul Max
we'll, who accompanied him to the pal
ace. where President Morales renew
ed his demand and compelled the agent
to give up several letters.
Powell Receivers the Letters. M
Minister Powell, learning of the in
cident, promptly went to the palace
and demanded that the letters taken
from the agent be delivered to him,
and after a lengthy interview President
Morales reluctantly surrendered the
letters.
Minister Powell, finding that the
government was unable to protect the
tug Anna. which is owned by Ameri-
cans, while entering San Isidro, re-
quested the commander of the United
States gunboat Newport to guard her.
The revolutionists threatened to cap
ture the Anna. and a strong guard left
the Newport to protect her and other
vessels obliged to pass through the wa
tiers in that section of the country.
A large force of rev~olutionists is
stationed at San Isidro and Com
mander Mentz goes there prepared for
all emergencies.
The political situation remains I'M
changed, but the fighting continues
and there is much suffering among the
poorer classes.
The United States cruiser Columbia
arrived here Friday.

has left for Washington with the OBJ
ject of soliciting the recognition by the
United States of the Dominican gov
eminent.
Friday the insurgents fired shells in
