COUNT VISITS CITY
italian NobIeman Is Guest al
Archbishop's Residence

Count Vannutelli, of Rome, a nephew Of
the two brothers who have the distinction
of being both distinguished cardinals, is
now in st. Paul. He came hither as the
guest of Archbishop Ireland, and will be
entertained at the archbishop's house, al
though Mnnesota's eminent prelate is not
in town. The count will start Monday
for California.
Count Vannutelli is about thirty years
Of age. He speaks Italian only. He has
been travelling alone since he arrived in
this country two months ago. He came
simply as tourist and without official
object
Last evening the count visited the ST.
Paul seminary, where he was entertained
by DR.. P. R. Heffron, rector of the in
stitution.
The counts famous uncles are the Car
dinal Bishop Seraf1no Vannutelli, secretary
of the congregation of the universal inqui-
sition and grand penitentiary of the holy
Catholic church; and the Cardinal Bishop
Vincenzo vannutelli, prefect of the con-
gregation of the council. The high rank
of the Vannutellis is manifest from the
fact that they are two of the five cardinal
bishops that lead the sixty or more mem
bers of the sacred college of cardinals.
No family indeed, is more influential
at Rome than Is that of the brother car
dinals.
Serafino yannutelli Is seventy years old.
He is bishop of Frascati. He was raised
to the .cardinalate in 1887.
Two years younger than Serafino, Vim
cenzo Vannutelli was made cardinal TWO
years later. He is bishop of Palestrina.

In some quarters there has been a
disposition to criticise the work of the
fire department. The owners of prop
erty adjoining that which was burned
are not making any complaint.
w. L. Harris president of the New
England Furniture and Carpet. COM
pany, which was located diagonally
across the street from the Boutell
building, has expressed his delight with
the management of the fire and the Of
ficers of the Powers Mercantile COM
pany have no complaints, even though
the firemen dragged lines of hose
through the building and used the up
per stories of this structure as a van
tage point from which to pour streams
of water into the furnace on the other
side of the street.
The officers of the Northwestern Ma
tional bank are satisfied, even if a few
bricks did fall through the skylights
and the interior arrangements of the
building were disarranged. The bank
did business as usual yesterday and
there was little inconvenience.
Complaint has been made because
the water tower was not placed in
commission as soon as it arrived on
the scene. At that time the fire was
in the basement and expert firemen
say they never knew of a water tower
being used on a basement fire.
There are plenty of sidewalk critics,
but men conversant with the handling
of fires express the opinion that the
department made good STOP"
Several hundred feet of hose has
been placed out of commission. A
great deal of this was attached to en-
CINE No. which was demolished by
the falling walls. The water in the
hose froZe and the hose was crushed
by the heavy engines and hose wag-
ons which passed over it after the en-
gine was destroyed.

RUSSIA MAY REFORM
Government Will Go Half Way
in Granting Concessions


ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. s14.-There is
no longer any doubt that the government
intends to commit itself to very extern
sive reforms as the result of the liberal
agitation begun when Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky made his advent as minister of
the interior. The zemstvoist demands
folea direct representative body to make
the laws of the nation will not be granted,
but some medium in the form of a repre-
sentative consultative body, which can
voice the wishes of the people direct to
the sovereign. now seems the probable
outcome.
An entirely new law for the liberalism
OF the peasants is also apparently certain.
The plan for consultative body, first
proposed by the late Prince Vasilchikoff
twenty years ago in connection with the
demand for land parliament, forms the
basis of the programme under considera-
ton. Prince Vasilchikoff proposed a
zemskaya douma, or land council, COM
posed of zemstvo representatives endowed
with consultative voice in the govern
ment. Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-
-Mirsky is said to favor this plan.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stoma ch
and intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and .eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; thew are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition of
the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is, that no possible harm
can result from their continued uSe,- but
on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: 'I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores,
and although in some sense a patent
preparation, yet believe get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any Of the ordinary
charcoal tablets.

GIVES HIS CAPTORS
$500 AND A COW
Kidnapped kentuckian Is Compelled to
Buy His Life

LOUISA, KY, Dec. 14.-John Babers
Wallace was kidnapped just across the
river from this place by eight men.
He was taken up the Tug river ten
miles into West Virginia To spare
his life he paid his captors 5000 to Sc
cure his release and gave them a cow
This episode was the result of trou-
bic which occurred two weeks ago ten
miles up Tug river. The parties live
in that neighborhood and some of them
are alleged to have been in the liquor
business. Wallace was one of these.
Opposition grew so strong, it is said,
that it finally resulted in a raid on
Wallace's place, which was entirely
destroyed.

INDIANS FEEL UGLY
But Nice Little personals"
About Them Appear

Special to The Globe
MILLER, S. D., Dec. 14.-The Chey-
enne river Indians, according to in
formation just received from White
Horse camp, are feeling ugly because
the government does not pay them
their lease and trail money in June in
stead of making long delays, as in the
past. A delegate will go to Washing
ton to see the great white father about
it.
There is no question, however, but
the payment of about $4,000 to these
Indians at the beginning of winter, in
stead of last June, is a godsend to
them. Now they have money to sup
ply their winter needs, but if 1t had
been paid them in June all would have
been spent in few weeks.
Information from Forest City is as
follows:
The wedding of Mr.. Mark Eagle Boy
and Miss Anna High Bear took place
Sunday morning.
Nellie Eagle Man has returned to
school.
Isaac-His- s-Horse-Is-Fast ran away,
but was brought back with frozen toes.

He is ALMOST LEFT
British Naval Officer Hastens
Home for Christmas

NEW YORK, Dee. IA. = The last
stage of "a remarkable race half way
around the world to enable him to eat
his Christmas dinner in London was
begun today by Commander Watson, of
the British navy. 1t was due entirely
to the fact that the steamer Oceanic
had been held at her pier nearly, a
quarter of an hour past her scheduled
sailing time by an enormous amount
of Christmas mail and express matter
that Commander Watson was enabled
TO make this last of a long series of
close connections which began at
Hongkong, China, more than a month
ago. Just as the steamer was all ready
to sail for Liverpool a cab drawn by
galloping horse dashed on the pier
and Commander Watson sprang out
and ran up the gang plank just before
the ropes were cast off.
Commander Watson was for some
time attached to the British Atlantic
squadron, but early In November was
transferred to the English channel
squadron. Leaving his ship at Shang-
hal, he took a coasting steamer to
Hongkong, where he barely caught the
steamer Empress of India as she was
about to sail.
Arrived in America, the commander
came East, suffering several delays,
among them one of over six hours, ow-
ing to the drifting snow in the far
West. The Montreal Express, upon
which he came down from Canada to-
day, was held back at the Grand Cen
trail at the very moment the Oceanic
was scheduled to leave her dock. TAX
ing the chance that the steamers de-
parture might have been delayed, he
got a cab, and, driving at top speed,
reached the pier just in the nick of
time.

FIRE CLAIMS TWO
LIVES AND $500, 600
Continued From First Page

continued r
through the Boutell building at the
corner of First avenue south and Fifth
street and from this vantage point the
firemen played upon the flames and for
a time it appeared that they were sue
cessful in their combat with the fiery
element.
Suddenly the flames burst across the
narrow alley and the fourth floor of the
Bouten establishment was mass of
flames from one end to the other.
Fireman Fellows, who lost his life in
this building, was on the fifth floor and
was unable to reach the ladder which
was standing at the window.
Vast Interests Threatened
But for the fact that there was not
a high wind, Minneapolis would have
suffered the most serious fire in it's
history, for the big plant of the Powers
Mercantile company took fire and had
this immense structure been destroyed
the fire would have continued until the
heart of the retail district Of Mime
apolis would have been burned out.
The f1remen, after learning that the
blaze in the lower part of the Peck
building was more serious than at first
appeared, worked with energy in order
TO prevent the spread of the flames but
had they not been aided by the ele-
ments there would have been a most
serious fire.
st. Paul was called upon for assist
ance and two engine companies were
sent to Minneapolis, but they were not
used in fighting the fire. They were
placed in reserve at the headquarters
station for the purpose of answering
any calls for fire protection in other
parts of the city.
All day yesterday the fire depart
ment played streams of water on the
burned structures which blazed furi-
ously.
The scene was picturesque. Icicles
hung from the windows and every pro-
lection on the Peck building on Fifth
street and the firemen directed many
streams of water into the structure in
which it is expected the body of Miller,
the salvage corps man, will be found
when the ruins are cooled sufficiently
to permit the firemen to enter them.
Big Building a Wreck
The big Boutell Bros building is
wreck There is nothing left except
a portion of one of the corners. With
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-12-15

the Bintliff building, which adjoins, the
front and side walls are standing, but
these are in danger of falling at any
time and traffic on the street is pro-
hibited by the police.
The gas main leading into this build
ing has been broken and the flames
over the scene.
The interior of the Powers mercan-
tile establishment across the street,
which was damaged to large amount
by water and fire, is a sad spectacle.
Instead of several hundred clerks
hurrying about, there is sawdust on
the floor and tarpaulins over the goods.
At least 500 covers were spread by the
salvage corps and the fire department,
but these did not serve to prevent
great damage, for there was at least
two feet of water in the basement.
The glass on the First avenue side
Of the building was destroyed and the
cupola of the building burned away.
For time it appeared as if the big
structure would be destroyed.
The firemen worked under heavy
odds, but they did their work well.
The firms which have been driven
from their homes have opened tempo
rary headquarters, and it is their in
tention to continue in business al
though they have suffered heavy losses.
The Hale estate, which owned the
burned buildings, has already started
to make arrangements for the erection
of new buildings.
Boutell Bros. have been offered a site
on the opposite side of the street from
the structure which was destroyed
Tuesday night, but they expect to oc-
cupy a building on the site of the
place which has been destroyed.
Offices Are Opened
Boutell Bros, who were the heaviest
losers in the fire, have opened tenn
porary office in the New York Life
building. They will make this their
headquarters until they can secure an
other home.
When asked about his plans yester-
day, P. d. Boutell, the head of the
company, said:
I'VE have not decided where we will
be located for a few months, but will
know tomorrow. We will continue in
business at the corner of First avenue
south and Fifth street, for it is the
intention of the owners of the building
which we occupied to rebuild at once.
If they do not, then S. 7. Mcknight,
who owns the corner opposite to that
which we occupied, will construct a
building and we will occupy it. Mr..
Mcknight made that offer early this
morning.
81 cannot tell just what our loss is.
We had stock of about 100000 and
carried an insurance which 1 would
estimate at from $225.000 to $2S5, 000.
The safe is in the basement. but
believe it will be found intact
I'VE had sold a large amount of
goods-at least $4,000, for the Christ
mas trade, and this was awaiting de-
livery. Had the fire been a week later
this stock would have been out of the
way We are here to stay and will do
business from now on
Powers Hurt by Water
A ]. Powers, head of the Powers
Mercantile company, says it is i'm
possible for him to fix the loss on his
stock and building. The insurance adj
justers are at work, and as soon as
they conclude their survey of the dam
age business will be resumed.
Our heaviest loss is by water" said
Mr.. Powers yesterday.

most were the silks, clothing, stationery
and books. We had received a con-

NOT READY FOR A
TARIFF DEBATE
Foraker Prevents Adherence to
Agreement to Vote on Phil
ippine Bill

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
senate, which under the constitution
is made the trial court in impeach-
ment cases, today received official no.
tice of the determination of the house
of representatives to present impeach-
ment charges against Charles Swayne,
federal judge in the Northern district
of Florida. The matter was brought
to the senate's attention by house
committee, and the senate appointed a
committee to prepare the details of
the proposed trial
The senate considered the Philippine
government bill and the pure food bill
Mr.. McCumber again spoke in support
of the latter bill. He engaged in a
controversy with Messrs. A1drich and
Spooner relative to the possible lack
of protection of importers of adulter-
ated foreign goods against prosecution
under the provisions of the bill.
MessrS. Spooner and Aldrich ex-
pressed the opinion that the importer
OF such goods necessarily would be liza
bic to punishment under its terms,
even in cases in which they were ig-
norant of articles, but Mr.. McCumber
argued that the innocent would be suf-
hclently protected.
w men Ine6 pure 1000 Dill gave place
to the Philippine bill Mr.. Dubois asked
that the unanimous agreement to vote
on the Philippine bill on Friday next
be abrogated because of Mr. Foraker's
tariff amendment to the bill introduced
today. He said that the people of the
West, and of his own state especially,
are greatly interested in the proposed
reductions of duties; that he would not
willingly consent to asreduction, and
that If he had known that the senate
would be called on to vote on the tariff
question he would not have assented
70 the unanimous agreement to vote.
He expressed the opinion that the eff
fort to secure tariff legislation is, un-
der the circumstances, unfair.
Mr.. Foraker said he would not
press his amendment.
Further action on the impeachment
proceedings against Judge Swayne
was taken in the house today by the
appointment of the committee of sew
en- provided for by resolution adopted
yesterday to draft the charges for
presentation to the senate. and by the
reception of the report of the commit
tee to notify the senate of the i'm
peachment, which announced that it
mad performed it's duty and the SEN
ate had responded that order shall be
taken. The urgency deficiency bill
and several other bills passed.
