Believe Gaskill is Alive.

Boston, Jan. TO- Yesterday Philadelphia
parties interested in the remarkable career Of
the famous forger, Benz III. Gaskil u came
TO this city and made the discovery that the
coffin which was brought to this city by a
Philadelphia undertaken last June, am which
was supposed TO contain the remains Of Ben.
iamin II. Gaskili had not been consigned to a
grave. hut was yet resting in the receiving
vault at Fore't Hill cemetery. This discov.
cry following so closely on the revelations of
the great Nor.Uik & Western forgeries, many
of which have been laid at the door of Gaskill
tends to more strongly convince the Phila-
delphians that their first suspicious that the
man was not dead were correct and every eff
fort possible will be made to have the casket
opened for investigation. According to the
attitude expressed by superintendent Potter,
of the cemetery. it will not lie an easy thing
to secure the permit to open the coffin. A.
coriiug to regulations the superintendent OF
the cemetery is obliged to open that or any
other coffin only on the request Of the heirs OF
the deceased and in this case such request
would have 10 come from the wife Of the sup
posed dead man and it is extremely unlikely
that she can he located, and even il she were
that she would make such request.

however, that there was ground for com

Burning Of a Hotel and Loss OF Lie
Minneapolis. Minn., Jan. l0.-lhe
Wes. Hotel, the bigges: hotel between
Chicago and the Pacific coast, caught
Ere at 7;S0 this morning from crossed
electric wire in the elevator snsl.;
People jumped from windows and IN ai'
directions. Eight persons are known 10
be dead, and dozens are missing. Many
women we're in The building. Two men
jumped from a seventh-story window,
and we're instantly killed. 1t is SAID
that l72 people were in the hotel on inc
upper floors. There we're many thrill
ing escapts. Doe woman, panic strlck-
en-, leaped from the seventh floor: Al o
O. clock the FIRE was under control. Inc
FIRE spread up the elevator shaft rapidly
and panic followed. Dozens were
saved BY jumping into the hre depart
ment's nets. The hotel is ruined. Ter
rible scenes were enacted during the nre.
When the fire started great crowd
gathered and witnessed one man and one
woman jump to instant death from the
top floor of the hotel. They were un-
known. Roth we're instantly killed.
The loss will reach $3.50, 900
The first horror occurred fifteen min-
utes after the Ere had started. Fire Cap
tain John A. Berwin had thrown a seal
ing ladder to a seyenth-story window
where a woman was wildly pleading for
help. The crowds below could see that
she was nearly suffjcated by the smoke
which rushed through the window past
her. The crowd gave cheer as the
brave fireman reached the woman, and
took her into his arms. He began to
descend the ladder slowly. They had
nearly reached the top round OF the big
ladder, below them when the woman be-
gan to kick and scream. The fireman
struggled to hold his place on the ladder
but failed. The woman threw herself
from his arms onto ledge. The fireman
tried to keep his poise. For half a
second, be swayed, then bis body leaned
far out. The crowd watched, horror
bound, as the fireman fell. He was dash
ed to death on the pavement. The

Mabel Larsen, of Omaha, threw herself
fr,m the seventh story to the pavement.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 10. 1906

THE "insurrection" OF House repub-
licans has begun to resemble reVolu-
ton in South America, in which every
one wants TO run away. The scheme to
defeat the statehood bill and the Philip
pines tariff bill by forming combination
with the democrats against both measures
has virtually been defeated by a refusal
Of the democrats to be used for aDy such
rur, oses as the recalcitrsnt republicans
have in view. Mr.. Williams, the dem
ocratic floor leader, announced IN the
House yesterday that the democratic
policy will be to vote for the Philippines
bill, not because it is entirely sstisfacto-
nv. but because it reduces duties upon
imports, and promises a better condition
than if the present law, remains in
force. Without democratic assistance,
The beet sugar men and the tobacco men
on the republican side are powerless,
while their alliance with the anti-btate-
hood men is rendered senseless, inasmCch
"a they care nothing about the statehood
measure, except as the efforts against it
might help their own cause against the
Philippines bill. The development oil
this situation caused CONSERVATION in
The insurgent ranks followed by whole
sale desertiOns.

legislative.

The Senate and House held caucuses
last night in the assembly room of the
Mechanics Institute.
There was no fight for the speaker
ship, as hsd been expected, both Lee
and Churchman Withdrawing at the last
moment On account of many Of their
supporters not having arrived in the
city. w. d. Cardwell, Of Hanover, was
elected speaker without opposition.
John w. Williams, OF Giles, was elected
clerk; ]. NJ. Johnston, of Rockbridge,
sergeant-at-arms; S. NJ. Newhouse, OF
Culpeper, first doorkeeper; P. E. Lips
comb, of King and Queen, second door
keeper. All OF these officers were prac-
tically nominated by reclamation.
The Senate went into caucus imme-
diately after the II use had finished.
Judge William Hodges Mann was chair
man of the Caucus, and Senator Henry
T. Wickham, of Hanover, was nomi-
mated for president pro tempore. There
was no contest. All of the old officers
we're renominated by scclamati)n. They
are Henry t. Wickham, president pro
tempore; Joseph Button, OF Appomat-
tox, clerk; F. B. Watkins, of Char
lotte, sergeant-at-arms; S. M. Donald,

when the. officers named by the caucus
we're formally elected.
Senator W. w. Sale, Of Norfolk, has
perfected his redistricting bill and will
offer it soon after the body shall get

same bill which he has twice before
presented suG which passed the Senate
and vas first vetoed b, the governor,
and tho second time lost 10 the House.
The bill changes every district in the
State more or less. The Third district
will have to take care OF Charles City
county, while the First gets Newport
New, Williamsburg, James City, Eliza
beth City, York and Warwick counties.
The First district will lose Fredericks-
burg, Caroline and Spottsylvanis, those
counties and Fredericksburg going to
the Eighth district
Mr.. o. Fuller, of Richmond, will Of
fer today in the House bill 10 amend

mission, the bond to be q guarantee that
the company will be organized and will
make deposit Of 500, 900 as required
by Law.
Mr.. Fuller will also offer an anti
graft bill in the House. The pro-
posed bill will make it a INSIDE
meanor to offer a bribe, gift, or
any other valuable thing to an employe
of a corporation, firm or individual for
information concerning the business Of
the employer. The punishment for such
an oHense is fixed ct fines ranging IRON
$40 to $500, or 6ne aud imprisonment,
or both.
Mr.. Barrett, of Newport News, will
offer ia the House new Jim GRO"
street car bill, taking the matter out Of
the railway companies. The plan 10
force at Rjchmbnd is the nobel amer
which the bill is drawn.
