The st. Petersburg correspondent of

there, that Port Arthur must be saved

of the best military authorities, and as
a result Gen. Kouropatkin has been In

this plan.

KNOCK ON BUCHANAN.
Democrats Oppose Confirmation
of Minister to Panama.

Washington, Jan. 9.-In an executive
session of the senate the nomination of
w. I. Buchanan to be minister to Pan
anna was discussed for more than two
hours, the debate being confined almost
entirely to the constitutional right of
the president to appoint a minister to
the new republic without the co-opera-
tion of the senate. The point was
raised by the Democrats that the posi-
ton to which Mr.. Buchanan was NOM
mated was not in existence wnen the
appointment was made and that the
president had no right to create the
position except with the consent of the
senate. The Democrats who supported
this position were Senators Morgan,
Bacon, Bailey, Pettus and Blackburn.
The Republican senators almost unan-
imously supported the action of the
president. They declare he acted Who'll
ly within his constitutional preroga-
tive.
The principal argument on that side
of the question were made by Senators
Lodge, Cullom, McComas, Spooner,
Fairbanks and Allison. No decision
was reported, and it was agreed that
the matter would be considered again

FIRE ON CHANCE.
New YOrk's New Stock Ex-

Took 35 Minutes to Get Fire
Department to 1t.

New York. Jan. 9.-Fire today was
discovered ir the new stock exchange
building, and because of defective fire
alarm boxes the fire department was
delayed in arriving. In the meantime
the building was threatened with seri-
GUS damage and q messenger of the
Western Union Telegraph company was
overcome by smoke. The fire broke
out in the cable room of the Western
Union Telegraph company and was dis
covered by messengers. An attempt to
ring in an alarm from the box in the
stock exchange was unsuccessful, as
the box was out of order. Boxes at
Beaver and Broad streets and Pine and
Nassau streets were found in like
condition. and a messenger was finally
hurried to the engine house on Stone
street. 1t was 35 minutes after the
blaze was discovered when the depart
ment arrived. The fire was caused by
the burning out of insulation. The
building was filled with smoke and the
firemen could work only in relays. The
telegraph service in the exchange is
inter rupted and all matter handled by
that branch will be sent out from the
main office on Broadwa until repairs
are made. The money loss is small.

THEY CAN NOT AGREE.
Jefferson and Shawnee Counties
Differ About Bridge.

The commissioners of Shawnee and
Jefferson counties are still unable to
agree on a basis for the sharing of the
expense between the two counties in
building the Granville bridge. The
controversy will be referred to Attor-
ney General Coleman
The Jefferson commissioners came to
Topeka and met with the Shawnee
commissioners at the court house in
the afternoon Friday. The Jefferson
commissioners still insisted that the
two counties bear the expense of re-
building the bridge according to the
assessed valuation of the counties. This
would mean that Shawnee county
would pay four-fifths of the cost. The
Shawnee commissioners are willing to
pay half.
The legislature four years ago took
about two acres away from Shawnee
county on the north side of the Kansas
river and gave it to Jefferson county
so that when the bridge was built the
north end would be in Jefferson county
and the south end in Shawnee. The
bridge was built by the two counties

wellington. Kas., Jan. 9.-During the

publisher of the Wellington News, for
criminal libel, County Attorney Emera
r Wilson assaulted Woods with a
heavy cane as the latter stepped into
his office to do some telephoning.

moments before on the charge of en-
bezzling the sum of So, 115 from the
Citizens State bank of Belle Plaine
While acting as cashier in the month
of September, 1902, it is alleged, Wilson
took this sum from the banks funds,
making out three notes aggregating
that amount, to which he signed ficti-
tious names. He is being held in GUS

FIRE FIRST NIGHT.
IrOquOis Narrowly Escaped De-
structiOn at the Opening.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Sworn testimony
was given today that fire broke out
in the Iroquois theater the first night
that the theater was opened. This first
fire only preceded by a few weeks the
great disaster which resulted in the loss
of hundreds of lives. The testimony
regarding the fact of the initial blaze
was given by John Gillespie, a work
man employed on the construction of
the theater. He said:
Il was in the basement the night the
theater opened in a short passage
southwest of the stage. I heard a
loud report and flames came over the
partitions over my head, the partitions
in the basement under the stage. The
partitions rise from the floor about
eight feet but do not reach the ceiling.
The flames came from another room
from where I happened to be. There
was a crowd rushing around the door
and I could not see in. 1 was told it
was some kind of a gas tank that ex-
ploded."
The Iroquois death roll continues to
grow. Another death resulting from
the fire was reported to the coroner to-
day Mrs. NJ. A. Nelsbaum died at
the Samaritan hospital from burns and
injuries. Her death increased the total
to $50.
1t was reported at the same hospital
that two other fire victims there could
hardly recover.
Louis E. Post, whose offices are on the
sixteenth floor of the Unity building,
commanding a birds eye view of the
Iroquois theater, declares that the out
er edges of the smoke and fame were
tinged with a peculiar greenish color.
Mr.. Post, his wife, and S. S. Stanger,
who were in Mr.. Posts office at the
time of the disaster, express a belief
that there were chemicals on the stage
which added to the fury of the fire.
