BATTLE HOUSE BURNED
The Destruction Of a Famous South
ern HOSteIry.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 13.-Already losses
estimated at a quarter of a million dol
lars have been caused by fire that
tonight left the famous Battle house
ruin and swept on to the buildings adj
joining The blaze was discovered
shortly before IL p. m. Sunday and at
, o'clock this morning the firemen were
still fighting the flames which appar-
emily were still beyond control. The
Commercial hotel is threatened.
The fire broke out in some unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen of the
Battle House, which although an old
hostelry, was one of the largest in the
south. The flames spread so quickly
that a number of guests lost all their
belongings and not a few of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take
to the fire escapes in their night clothes
Two elevator boys, Jos. Parks and Ber-
nard Constantine, stuck to their posts
until all the guests had been gotten out,
although the elevators caught fire and
the youngsters were burned about the
face and hands.

THE HOUSES PROGRAM.

Washington. Feb. 12,-The naval ap-
preparation bill will be taken up by the
house on Monday as soon as the legis-
lation for the District of Columbia has
been disposed of. The naval bill will
be attacked on several grounds. The
issue is to be taken with the commit
tee in its provisions for new ships.
The topic of armor plate contracts is
to fill it's accustomed place on the pro-
gram while submarine boats and tor
pedo boats are to form a basis
of offensive and defensive argument.
The best estimate that can be made
is that at least four days will be con-
sumed in getting Legislative action on
this bill in the house. It Is to be fol-
lowed by the river and harbOr bill.
Should the decks be cleared at any
time, the proposed legislation on the
Panama canal project, which is contin-
uing in order, will be discussed.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review Of Prices and Conditions of
the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 11.-CattIe re-
ceipts last week We're rather light as
the continued bad weather has made
it hard to get in from the country. The
same conditions were in effect yester
day and only 1000 head are here and
small runs elsewhere. The light run
last week met higher prices for the
best cattle, but probably the majority
of the receipts sold barely steady me-
dunn to common cows and heifArs
were lower. Packers claimed the wea-
ther made it hard or impossible for
them to ship out their product, as
many refrigerator cars were tied up in
the east. Now, however, the run is so
light that no arguments are of avail to
the buyers and market is strong to ten
cents higher, covering pretty well
everything. Stocl1ers and feeders have
been quiet, and the supply of them has
been small for two or three weeks. De
mand has also been limited. as few
feeders like to put cattle in the feed
lot in zero weather, but prices are
about steady. Fed western steers sell
at $3.75 to $500, unless extra finished.
Western fed she stuff sell at $500 to
1915, stocllers and feeders $2.75 to 81,
a few just right, above that. Texas
fed steers sold up to s4.30 last week,
Nebraska fed westerns $4.65, Pan
handle feeders $4.05 western and Pan
handle calves $500 to $6.25, heavy
calves S2.75 to $3.50. The market
should be able to take care of liberal
runs if the weather breaks up soon.
The sheep and lamb market gained
steadily every day last week, and clos
ed at the highest point of the season
on all classes. Monte Vista lambs
sold at $735 to $3.50 and native lambs
up to $3.50 and practically all the
lambs above Sis. Yearlings sell at
$6.25 to $3.50, wethers up to 1856, ewes
$50, although market on ewes was not
fully tested. These prices were all for
westerns. The market has every ap-
pearance of extreme strength, but
good many are afraid of it, as present
range looks dizzy. and could become
top heavy on a slight scare. Buyers
evidently have urgent orders, though,
and markets are not only strong, but
active and snappy.

SOUND MONEY IN MEXICO.
An Inducement for Heavier American
Investment.

New York, Feb. 11.-GeneraI Mana
ger Schaff of the Big Four, who has
been out in Mexico says of the railroad
business there:
THE stabilizing of the currency will
be of the greatest help to the railroad
interests, both in the Improvement of
the service of the present lines and
stimulating the building of other lines.
Heretofore many American capitalists
have refrained from investing in Mex
lean railroad stocks because there was
considerable danger of loss from the
fiuctuatiOn of silver and because the
profits of a road were uncertain ow-
ing to the fact that most of the sup
plies of the road would have to be pur-
chased with gold while the earnings of
the road, which would have 10 pay the
bill were subject to depreciation
through the changing of the value OF
silver.
This tended to making the invest
ment in Mexican railways an uncertain
venture"

European resorts in search of health,
has been secretary of state Of the United
States since 1898. Previously he had
been ambassador to England and secre-
tary of the legation at Paris, Madrid
and Vienna, and also first assistant Sec
rotary of state from 1879 to 1881. Mr..
Hay was one of the private secretaries
of President Lincoln, and is part author
of the life of the martyr president. He
was born at Salem, Ind, October s, 1888,
and was graduated from Brown univer-
sity in 1853 His wife is a daughter of
the late Amasa Stone, of Cleveland, 0.
Secretary Hay is intensely human.
At 81 years of age he still unfolds in his
home and among his close friends de-
lightful personality, which is the equa-
BILE complement of his brilliancy in af-
fairs of state.
He is something of pessimist con-
corning himself, looking at his own

It is known that MIR. Metcalf brought
with him wife, nine children and d
servant, whose passage could have cost
no small sum.
Michael Metcalf was born in latter
ford, county of Norfolk, England, in
1886. He followed the occupation of
Dornix weaver, the maker of kind
of stuff used for curtains, carpets and
hangings.
Michael Metcalf was a selectman in
Dedham in 1641, and his name stands

He was much respected for his intelli-
gence, and when more than 20 years
old his townsmen turned to him to
keep their school. They made con-
tract with him in 1886 ito keep the
schoole for the year ensuing, to teach
the children that shall be sent to him
to reade English and to write,' for
which he was to receive from the town
"the summe of twenty pounds two

the town or countree rate and the other

the price above mentioned.
