PROTEST TO THE POPE
FRANCE OFFENDED BY PoN
 TIFF's CRITICIsA4.
The New Head of Holy See Dispose to Follow His Personal Ideas Rather Than Those of
 Cardinal College.

Paris. March 26.--A protest as to the recent utterances of the Pope against France was made today by M. Nizard, the Ambassador of France at the vatican, to Papal Secretary of Etate Merry del Val. It Is expected that this will sufice to give formal expression to the gov ernnent's dlsappreval of the Pope's words
 The French Government reports show that members of the Sacred College are much divided over the Pope's utterances some regarding them as most unwise and uncalled for. It also appears that the cardinals were completely taken by sur prise. Only few days before the Pope received delegation of French pilgrims when 1t was thought he might make some alluslon to France. Having not made 1t then the cardinals were in hopes the Pope would not discuss at any time The incident Is regarded as serious owing the new Pope's tendency to carry out his personal ideas irrespective of the views of the sacred college.
 The governments protest Is understood to have been substantially as follows:
 The discourse by the Holy Father, on the occasion of the feast of St. Joseph, constitutes public criticlsn on the policy of France. This criticism il chiefly unacceptable as being opposed fc the stipuie tons of Cone0rdat wflieS regulates the relations between the IfoN See and France.

CLOSE IN ARKANSAS
WOOD AND DAVIS 10TH CLAIM
 VICTORY.
Ticket is Long and the Count Slow. Nothing Definite is Heard Re-
 garding Congressional
 Race in Third.

Little Rock. Ark. March 26-Returns have been coming in slowly and in the result of the Democratic election today for State officers and Congressmen can not be conclusively announced yet At the headquarters of both the candidates for Governor confident claims are made
 Governor Jeff Davis asserts that he has lost only one County, Jefferson. and does not consider that Pulaski was carried b< lis opponent. Judge Carroll Wood The managers for Judge Wood claim, that he will be nominated by a handsome ma jority. Wood carried the city of Little Rock in Pulaski County by 1,sS5 ma jority.
 The contest for Governor overshadowed all other contests. heavy. vote was boiled in the large counties and the count Is progressing slowly owing to the length of the ticket
 Indications tonight are that Governor Davis has carried White, Lonoke, Gar land and Washington counties, which are among the largest in the State. and that Judge Wood has carried Pulaski. C,raw- ford, Clark and Woodruff, also large counties.
 There are seventy-five counties in the State and probably several days will eiapse before the report will be known officially.
 On the early returns: from the First Congressional District, Representative R E. Macon leads his opponent, Judge Par ris. Nothing definite can be secured to-
 night from the Third Congressional pls trict where Representative Hugh Dins- more is opposed by l. e. Floyd Robert L. Rogers Is ahead In the race for Al torriey General and early indications point to his nomination, The race for ] Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is close and will probably have tG be set tied by the coming State convention.

DOUBLE NINE" ALARM
FIRE IN NEW YoHK,s MOST
 CROWDED PART.
100000 Persons See the Blaze ana 500 Police Reserves Have Their Hands Full in H0ld-
 ing the Fire Lines.

New York. March zs. -sThe double nine." the dreaded signal of the New York fire department. sumnoninx nearly the entire fire fighting force Of A6anhaf- tan. was sounded to-day for d ire fha4 started just before noon in Che baaemeut of No. 61 Broadway
 The blaze was the most spectacular that has been seen in New York in years. and was witnessed by a hundred thousaud persons. who thronged Broadway and the adjacent streets.
 So great was the crush and excitement that the reserves of nineteen poilce pre- cincts, numbering 800 men. had the ut most difficulty in preherving order and clearing a way for the lire engines to reach the scene.
 Although hampered by low water pres- sure. the lremen succeeded in conaning the blaze to the building. The buildings on either side escaped with comparatively little damage by fire or water.
 The loss Is variously estimated at from SlQQ, 600 to S500,Oo0. the difference being due to the difficulty to estimating the loss on the property in charge of the Adams Express Company and the Morris Euro pean Company, which occupied three floors of No. 61.
 With the exception of one fireman cut by falling glass, no one was injured. ai- though there were numerous sensational escapes. A party of six clerks in the third floor. finding the stairwayg. choied with smoke, escaped to the street py a rope. Five clerks asleep on the top floor. made their escape by fleeing across tha roofs
 The smoke poured into the once of the Wells Fargo Company at No. es. com polling all to flee Before leaving. the ctarIs in the cashiers office hastily thraVr about S10oO00 in gold. silver and checks into canvass bags and carried the treas- ure in safety across Broadway to the vaults of the Kniekerbocker Trust Com pany
 The location of the fire could hardly have been a more. perilous one. Tn the rear of the blazing buildings. separated only by Trinity Place Is a denseIy pack ed mass of ancient warehouses and tene- ments stretching westward to North rfv- CT. With this barrier once crossed. most disastrous confagration could not have been avoided. The flames were not fully extinguished until o'clock.

CASE IS NOW
 WITH JURY. Senator BurtOn'S Case
 Submitted. CHARGE OF JUDGE ADAMS Defense Takes Exceptions to
 Statements of Law Question of Jurisdietion of St. Louis District as to Payment of
 Checks in Washington Is Left to Jurors.
CHARGE OF JUDGE ADAMS

St. Louis. March 5s.--The case of United States Senator Joseph Ralph Burton of Kansas. who has been on trial in the United states District Court here since Tuesday on the charge of having illegally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company of St. Louis. was given to the jury. tonight. There will be no vefdict tonight.
 The entire day was occupied with argu- ments by both sides. Following the close of United States Attorney Dyer's argu- ments. the court delivered It's charge to the jury.
 Judge Adams referred to the importance Of the case, owing to the. fact that the defendant is United States Senator. and that 1t involves law tending to secure tine public welfare, The section of the statutes under which the indictment against Senator Burton was returned was read by the court Judge Adams conn mented upon the section, pointing out the influence of a Senator Of the United States which Is necessarily exerted by his presence in an executive department of the Government and explained in detail the functions of the Postofilce Depart ment.
 In reference to the counts of the indict- ments, Judge Adams said that the first i've counts relate practically to the same charge.
 Judge Adams on Counts.
 If you should nnd that the evidence in this case" said he. 'Bubstantiate the Government's contention. then you will return a verdict of guilty; otherwise. you will acquit tho defendant. The second eoa,ne in pracffca1lv the same, except that 1t is alleged that the Government was in- directly Interested In the matter As thd third count makes identIcally the same allegations. you need not consider that
 Ths seussA ana nfsh counts had been ssd3 kAAnsa then explained (he sixth count in degait tn which it is aileged that Senator Burton accepted cheek for eaeQ ron ths Kiaito ufain and Gecurtkies cofnnany Tor His influence n . ma tier lsn which the Government was either directly or indirectly interested.
 He then called attention to the point raised by the defense during the trlal, In which 1t was asserted that as the check was paid in Washington, D. C., that Senator B. Ion received the money at that place and consequently the St. Louis court did not have jurisdiction. judge Adams said that that point was a matter for the consideration of the Jury, and they should return verdict in ae- cordance with their understanding of the
 counseI for the defence announced ob- tectIons to the instructions. Judge Adams said that he would allow any ex- captions. and asked that they be sub mitted in writing.
