Attorney General Coleman has held
that State Accountant Rowett's claims
against the state for hotel bills when
he is in Topeka are not gooE. and the
state auditor will therefore not allow
them any more. In his last voucher Mr..
Rowett included an item of $21 for hotel
bill in Topeka during the month of Oc-
tober, but Auditor Wells held it up as
there had been some question about it,
and asked the attorney general for a
written opinion as to its validity. The
opinion was given to the auditors office
Saturday evening.
There is an appropriation of $500 a.
year for travelling and other expenses
of the state accountant. The law says
he shall receive his necessary travel
ing expenses incurred in the
of his duty" Travelling expenses in
clude railroad fare and hotel bfns when
the OIlcer is away from home. In Mr..
case it was a question of
where his home is officially. He argued
that as he is travelling much OF the time
and had no fixed abode in Topeka he
was entitled to his hotel expenses here,
and so filed his vouchers accordingly.
They have been allowed up to the pres
ent one. In his opinion on the subject
Mr.. Coleman says:
While on duty at the state house and
in the office set apart for him where his
official home must be, the
in any proper sense, be consid-
cred as travelling. 1 am, therefore, fore
I'd to the conclusion that the item in
is not a proper charge against

SAVED THE PICTURES.
Youthful Hero Rescued Paintings
From Burning Missouri Building.

St. Louis, Nov. 21.-The Missouri
building on the Worlds fair grounds
was destroyed by fire Saturday even
ing.
The fire was the most spectacular
that has occurred in st. Louis In years.
Thousands of persons hurried from all
portions of the grounds, attracted by
the sheet of flame that spurted from the
top of the cupola, making a far great
er brilliancy than the illumination or
all the buildings. A vino was blowing
from the south, and the flames shot
down the northern side of the cupola
and met a sheet of flame which envel-
oped the northern wing.
Instantly the building was ahame
from TOP to bottom in the northern
half. Sparks were carried over the
United States government building and
as far northwest as the liberal arts
palace. Bucket brigades were hurried
to the roofs of these buildings to pre-
vent ignition.
Meantime, from all quarters of the
grounds the fire departments had re-
sponded, and were augmented by appa-
ratus from the city department. Salvage
corps were formed by both Jefferson
guards and Worlds fair visitors, and
as much property as could be secured
within a few moments was carried into
the Louisiana state pavilion, adjacent.
Eight streams of water poured into
the building with apparently little eff
feet, the fire steadily eating it's way
until only a portion of the south wing
was left standing.
The loss by the burning of the build
ing will not be as great as it was at
first thought. According to an estimate
by M. T. Davis, president, and j. H:
Hawthorne, treasurer of the Missouri
commission, the actual loss to the COM
mission is SIS, 500. Ten thousand dol
lars is the estimated loss on the furnl-
ture, carpets and draperies, $4,000 on
the fixtures and machinery, and $1,000
on the building itself.
Contrary to the first reports, also, the
Judges and senators of the state, which
hung in state hall of the pavilion, have
been saved. The portraits were mixed
up with those from the art gallery sat
urday night, and in the. excitement it
was thought hat they were lost.
That the portraits of b famous men
of Missouri were saved is u to the eff
forts of James P. Nixon, 20 years old,
of Mo. At the risk of his w
life young Nixon went seven times into
state hall, where the pictures were
hung. and where the fire was the hot
test. and carried them out. At one time
he came very near being s~uffocated.
The portrait of Thomas H. Benton,
senator from Missouri for 80 years, is
not with the mass of other pictures
which today are being taken care of in
the Louisiana building. President Davis
is quite positive that the picture OF this
statesman was taken from the n
building. however, as he saw it himself,
but it is not known just where the pic
.ture was taken.

REID TO FOLLOW OHoATE.
The Long Desire of the New York
Editor to Be Granted at Last.

Washington, Nov. 21.-It is prac-
tically assured that Whitelaw Reid of
New York will succeed Joseph H.
Choate as ambassador to the court of
ST. James. The nomination may be
sent to the senate during the short
session. If not at that time the ap-
pOintment will be made during recess
shortly after March A.. Mr.. Reid was
minister to Franc during Harrison's
administration and was a candidate
for the vice presidency with Harrison
in 1892. 1t is said that his ambition
has always been to be ambassador to
the court of st. James. He was an
applicant for this position when Presi-
dent Mckinley selected MI. Choate.
The association between Mr.; Reid
and Secretary Hay, who will be his
chief. has always been intimate. 1t
covers as many years and is as init
mate as the friendship of the presi-
dent and Elihu Root.
Mr.. Reid and Mr.. Hay were young
men in Washington during the Civil
war days. Mr.. Reid being a war cor
respondent of the New York Tribune
and Mr.. Hay being one of President
House. Horace Greeley's defeat for
the presidency in 1872 was followed
within a few days by his death and
Mr.. Reid became the editor of the Tri-
bune. Meantime Mr.. Hay was in the
diplomatic service of the government,
from which he retired at the time Mr..
Reid became the master of the Tri-
bune, and Mr.. Hay became an edi-
toriaI writer on that ape MI. Reid
being his immediate chief. Mr.. Hay
re-entered the public service under
Garfield and Arthur and later on, as
already noted, Mr.. Reid became, under
President Harrison. minister to the
Frence republic.
With the advent of President Nc
Kinley Mr.. Hay forged to the fore
front, and for the last eight years has
become known to every civilized ma
ton as one of the greatest diplomats
of the age. President Mckinley sent
Mr.. Reid to the queens jubilee and to
King Edwards coronation as special
ambassador for the American people;
but it was remarked that ever and
always during those days of pomp and
glare Mr.. Reid's ambition was to be-
come the fully accredited ambassador
of his country to the English court.
Mr.. Reid, as editor of the Tribune,
has been Mr.. Hays chief; and now
Mr.. Hay as secretary of state is to be-
come Mr.. Reds chief, and forty-four
years ago they were friends together
in Washington, the former a hard
driven war correspondent and the lat
ter a Jealous and overworked secretary
to President Lincoln.
