Receives the Attentions of the French
Government.

Paris, July 24.-M. Witte continues
to be the center of official and popular
attention and homage which are both
a tribute to his rugged personality
and evidence of the continued French
devotion to the Russian alliance. The
Russian peace plenipotentiary had a
two hours talk with Premier Rouvier
Saturday and was received in audience
by President Loubet, at the Elysee
palace. No authoritative statement was
given out concerning either meeting
One report is that NJ. Rouvier and NJ
Witte went over the prospective peace
negotiations dwelling particularly up
on the influence France could exert on
Great Britain to induce the latter to
moderate the Japanese demands. 1t is
also the accepted view that M. Witte
is favorable to Russo-Japanese un-
derstanding by which a lasting peace
in the far east would be secured. The
prospects Of this understanding are
regarded as one of the chief means by
which Japan may be induced to abate
the severity of her conditions, particu-
larly upon the question of indemnity
The French officials speak favorab bly,
of such an understanding, the conclu-
sion Of which besides benef1ting Rus
sia and Japan would strengthen France
in the far east as an ally of Russia
and Great Britain as the ally of Japan.

DANIEL 5. LAMONT is DEAD.
Grover cIeveland's Famous Secretary
Expires at Summer Home.

New York, July 24.-Daniel s. La
mont. who was President. Cleveland's $
first secretary and afterwards secre-
tary of war, died at 9:15 o'clock Sun
day evening at his country home at
MiIbrook, Duchess county, twelve miles
from Poughkeepsie, after a brief ILL.,
ness.
Grover Cleveland at his Princeton
home was the first to receive the news.
He received a brief message from Mr..
Lamont's daughter Francis, telling OF
her fathers death and asking him to
come at once
News of Mr.. Lamont's death was un-
expected in this city. It came as a
distinct shock to many who had not
known that he was Ill:
Long Career in Politics.
Daniel S. Lamont was born in Cort-
landville, Cortland county, N. Y, in
1851. His father, John B. Lamont, and
his mother, Elizabeth Scott, are still
living at McGrawville, in Cortland
county.
He was appointed by the governor at
the age of 19 one of the deputy clerks
Of the assembly. At 20 he was sent as
a delegate to the state convention at
Rochester in 1871. That was a famous
convention, the one that followed
closely upon the exposure Of the cor
ruption under Tweed in New York
City. When Mr.. Lamont was 21' he
was nominated by the democrats for
county clerk of Cortland county, and,
altho opposing one of the most pop
ular men in that strongly republican
county, he came within few votes OF
reversing a majority that had stood at
1000 on the other side. The next year.
1874, found him running for the as
sen1bly on the democratic ticket, and
again he had the prize at the ends OF
his fingers, but lost it by few votes.

Burned to Death = Property Loss is

Humble Texas, July Recovering
an area of three-quarters of mile
square with canopy of smoke spread
ing over two square miles, the oil tanks
of the Texas Company continue to boil
under the great heat of burning OIL
the fire having burned all night. 1t
cannot be extinguished until 1t has
burned all of the oil in the eleven big
tanks which held two and a half mil
lion barrels when the lightning struck
them Sunday 1t is known five negro
workmen perished and rumors place
the. number of dead as high as fifty.
There are hundreds of homeless people.
many of them only awaiting their turn
to go to Houston for shelter. During
the night there was a heavy downpour
of rain and this covered the ground
with sheet Of water, the coating OF
which is a thick film OF oil. IL this
waste oil catches fire, it is probable
the tanks of the Guffey Company, the
Sun Company and smaller owners may
go. These tanks hold four and a hall
million barrels.
Shortly after the big tank began to
blaze 200 workmen with seventy-hve
mules were hurried to the place to
throw up earth embankments to con-
fine the fire to the tank where 1t ORR
ginated. Suddenly the oil gave an un-
heaval, bubbled and lifted aigreat mass
of burning 1,iid bodily from the tank
and the fire las communicated to three
other tanks The burning oil caught
the men and mules and hemmed them
in. There was wild scramble for
safety. Some of them mounted mules
and got them out. but at least forty
mules were cremated. Five negroes
were seen to be down and it is not be-
lieved possible they could have escap-
ed. While all of the men have not
been accounted for, five are all that are
certainly known to have perished. Ear
ly today the fire broke out in the steel
tanks of the Texas Company at a
pumping station a mile from the ORR
ginal fire. What damage Is being done
cannot be ascertained, because 1t is i'm
possible to reach that part of the field.
At 10 o'clock this morning the fire
was still raging with no prospects OF
its immediate control. 1t is believed.
however, the flames will eventually be
confined to the tankage district. There
are three million barrels of oil in these
storage tanks, all of which will be de-
stroyed. The losses are already esti-
mated at three quarters of million,
with practically no insurance. The re-

MOTHER GIVES SON TO POLICE.
Hunts Out Alleged Murderer in Swamp
and Persuades Him to Surrender.

II
Baltimore, July 24.-Through the
persuasion of his mother, Hayes Don
aldson, the Anne Arundel county farm
er charged with the murder of Patrick
Cummings, a member Of the engineers
corps Of the United States army, on
the night Of July 16, surrendered yes
terday to the police. He is now held
at the Curtis Bay police station, where
he will have hearing today.
Mrs Donaldson had strenuous ex-
perience finding her son in the marsh
es OF Anna Arundel county, where he
was in hiding.
When it became known in Curtis
Bay that Donaldson had surrendered
the news spread like wild fire. The
streets were lined with men, women
and children, who treated Donaldson
as a hero, as the automobile driven by
Austin S. Dowler, bearing the party,
went by.
Donaldson was returning ito Ham
nrsEd's wharf in the same boat with q
party of soldiers who are stationed at
Fort Howard, when a quarrel started
which resulted in Cummings death.

Papers in the southwest quarter Of
the state and elsewhere where Gov. A.
B. Cummins is appearing on Chautau-
qua programs have taken to publishing
the governors statement before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce committee in full. It has been
given a wide circulation at Atlantic
and elsewhere.
The G. A. R. room in the state house
has been redecorated and yet can not
be occupied on account Of the delay in
getting the carpet. The carpet was
sent for Some time ago but has failed
to arrive thus far.
The machinery exhibit at the state
before according to Charles H. Turk
the superintendent of machinery.
There is serious question as to MAX
ing room for the exhibit as there is In
some other departments. Mr.. Turk
has arranged to occupy some space
on the north side of Grand avenue
for that purpose which has never be-
fore been occupied. The machinery
exhibit will be different from any year
yet also as there will be a number Of
novel features. One Of these will be
a silo which will be erected on the
ground and in full operation for the
inspection OF the farmers.
1t keeps one man busy at the state
house making out the warrants for the
pay roll of the state. Capt. Amos
Brandt is busy from one months end
to the other at that occupation. It
might seem strange but the state is
forced to keep a separate check book
with Duplicate" printed in bold letters
across the face Of each check because
Of the carelessness OF some Of the peo-
pie on the pay roll. District judges
are the most careless according to Capt.
Brandt. Every month there is the
usual number Of duplicate checks to be
made out. One district judge care
fully took out the check signed the
receipt and returned 1t to the state
auditors office. After signing the
receipt he placed the check in the en-
velope and tore them both up and
threw them into the waste paper
basket. Another district judge up the
state while rusticating in his orchard
lost his check under an apple tree. He
wrote for a duplicate but found the
original the next day.

contemplated which were current
since Friday, having met with the
flattest denials in official quarters. ana
the German ambassador having stat
ed that he knew nothing of any such

Emperor Williams action was in
stantly connected with the Moroccan
question and admiration for his politi-
cal astuteness in realizing his oppor-
tunities was expressed on all sides.
Like the last meeting between EN-
peror Nicholas and Emperor William
at hunting seat in Russian Poland,
where the European and Eastern
situations were discussed between the
strokes of a game of billiards, and
Russia was assured that she need
have no anxiety regarding her western
frontier while engaged with the Japan
ese, the conferences in the cabins OF
the Hohenzollern and the Polar Star
will be entirely informal and, probably,
without secretaries or other witnesses,
unless perhaps, Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch should be partici-
pant.
There is no set program of sub
jects for discussion. aside from gem
eral consideration of factors in the
present situation affecting the two
empires, but 1t can be stated that the
coming meeting of the Russo-J Japanese
plenipotentiaries will occupy place
in the foreground.
The action of Emperor William In
seeking conference at this moment
is generally interpreted as an assur-
ance of his moral support in the COM
ing pourparlers at washington and
Portsmouth, and to show that German
participation in the recent Japanese
loan was not a mark of the alienation
Of German sympathies from Russia.
Emperor William whose keen in
terest in the lessons of the Russo-Jap-
anese war is well know, has also taken
advantages Of the occasion to discuss
the details with eve witnesses and the
presence Of the naval officers who dis
tinguished themselves in the far East
is due to his special request.

On this piece are located the three
