WHOLE BUILDING IN FLAMES.
Fire in New York Business District
Todav-Three Alarms.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Fire, which
started in six-story building in the whole
sale dry goods district at Duane and Church
streets today, gained headway SO rapidly
that when the apparatus called out by
three alarms reached the scene the whole
building was in flames and a second build
ing in the rear had taken fire.
The building in which the fire started was
occupied by the Merchants Rubber Com
pany and Theodore Ollesheimer & Brother,
manufacturers of willow ware.
Fifty of the employees of the Ollesheimer
firm, who were at work on the upper floors
of the building, were warned of. their
danger soon after the fire started, and all
escaped without injury.
Flames from the burning building shot
up into the air at great height and this,
together with great volumes of smoke
which rolled away and spread over that
section of the city, brought an immense
throng of people to the scene. Even before
the last piece of apparatus arrived the
crowd was far beyond the control of the
police, and extra patrols and reserves were
called out to preserve order.

THE PRESIDENTS LUCK
BELIEVED IT WILL PREVAIL IN
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Promise of Temperature Between 40
and SO Degrees-Clouds May
Obscure the Sun.

1t is believed that President RooseVelts s
good luck which has so Tar attended him in
his life private, military and official, Will
not desert him tomorrow while the thou
sands are assembled here to do him honor
at his installation President of the United
States, and that the weather VIII be favor
able for the great parade and other cere-
monies. This optimistic view, which was
advanced today by friends of the President,
is supported by the best judgment of Prof.
Edward B. Garriott of the United States
weather bureau, who stated to a Star re-
porter this afternoon that while the wealth
er conditions are unsettled, he is of the
opinion that there will be no rain tomorrow.
The Inauguration day weather." he said,
promises to be warmer, with the tempera-
ture somewhere between forty and fifty de-
grees. But the skies will cloud up tonight
and tomorrow will be q more less cloudy
day, and the question of ram Is somewhat
uncertain. We rather think, however, there
will be no rainfall tomorrow, although, as
l said, the conditions are very uncertain IN
that particular"
Prof. Garrott said it was raining today
in the Ohio valley and the clouds from that
section will be over Washington tonight.
There is no cold weather or storm in sight.
The problem said Prof. Garriott in
conclusion lis whether there Will be rain
tomorrow. We are inclined to believe there
won't be any. The balance is in favor of
good day, but the weather will be cloudy
more or less
Among the numerous weather inquiries
that have been made of the bureau today
were several from commanders of organiza-
tions that are going TO participate in the
parade. They wanted to know if tomorrow
would or would not be "overcoat weather"
These were advised that while the temper
ature would be warm enough to permit of
the discarding of 4evercoats, it might be
we'll for the paraders to carry those COW
erings with them.
The ice on the Potomac between Wash
ington and Indian Head was reported to-
day to still be frozen hard Below Indian
Head the broken ice is drifting to and fro
with the tidal currents, it is said.

Fourteen republican members of the COM
mittee signed report in favor of throwing

twenty-eight precincts in other counties,
and declaring that Peabody was legally
elected, but six Of these committeeman an
nounced that they reserved the right to

cy in the Office of governor, to be filled,
under the constitution, by the lieutenant
governor.
ported in favor of dismiss,ng the contest,
and placed Adams minimum plurality at
3S19, after giving the contestant the BEN
eft of every doubt. The nine democratic
committeeman submitted a report showing
that if all votes challenged by experts were
rejected. Adams would still have 2760
plurality.
Rules We're adopted by the joint conven-
tion Immediately after receiving the COM

A NEW SMOKE LAW.
Both Houses of Congress Adopt the
Commissioners Bill.

There will soon be smoke law in the
District with which, in the estimation OF
business men, it will be possible to comply
and at the same time reGuce the smoke
nuisance TO a minimum.
When the Senate last evening disagreed
to the House amendment to the smoke bill
and sent the bill back to the House after
appointing confereeS the House took the
matter in its hands and declined to have n
further conference on the bill. 1t looked
then as If the entire smoke law was up in
the air. This morning when it was learned
on the Senate side what the situation ac-
tually was Senator Gallinger in the Senate
asked unanimous consent to bring up the
smoke bill, and explained that the House
had declined to appoint cCnferees under
some misunderstanding. He said that the
bill as amended by the House was the Com
miSsioners' bill 1t was the bill that had
been decided upon means of expert
menting during the coming year to see how
such law would work
Mr.. Gallinger then moved that the Sen
ate reconsider its action in disagreeing TO
the House amendments and concur in those
amendments. This motion carried and the
Senate agreed to the bill as amended by the
House, so that 1t will not be necessary to
have any further legislative action. The
bill will probably be signed by the President
pro tenn. of the Senate and the Speaker of
the House today. 1t is identical with the
bill recommended by the Commissioners.

REVELATIONS OF A WILL.
Strange Story Of a Man Who Had Two
Wives.

BOISE, Idaho, March 3.-A strange story
has come to light here in connection with
the fling of the will of the late John Wood.
He died in the hospital a short time ago.
Before his death he made a WILL leaving
his property, valued at $4,000 to his chill
dren. None here knew he had children,
though he had lived here thirty-five years
He was married after he came here, and
was afterward divorced. but there were no
children of the union. 1t NOW seems he left
a family in Crawford county, Missouri, in
1860. They thought he went into the south
ern army and was killed. His right name
was Bruce Wood.
The wife and three children are still liv-
ing, but he had never communicated with
them or heard of them, and when he came
to make his will he did not know the num-
Der of children or their names. They have
been hunted up since his death. The chill
dren are Peter S.. Wood of Cuba. Mo-; John
Wood of Steelville. Mo, and Mrs. Maggie
Stemple of Florida.

they have found a one pound can of inn
ported bicarbcnate of soda. The can at
the Palo Alto home had not been opened,
but from the one discovered in the Cal
ifornia street mansion there had been taken
a small portion, presumably the amount
needed TO fill the small bottle that Mrs.
Stanford carried with her to Honolulu.
Both of these cans have been analyZed
by a local chemist, who has pronounced
their contents absolutely free from any
kind of poison. With this knowledge in
their possession the detectives have been
eager to discover who refilled the small
bottle. and possibly mixed the bicarbonate
of soda with strychnine.
