mourn The death of Gen. Joseph Wheeler on yesterday at 5:35 p. m.' after only short illness removes another Of the few surviving general officers of the Confederate army, one of the most unique and striking figures developed by the great war between the United States and the Confederates States. He was pre-emi- nently one of the greatest cavalry leaders and the historians will with pride ac- cord him a rank with Forrest and Hamp- ton and Stuart. Of superb and dauntless couraget and restless energy, on thous- and fields he earned a record, the fame of which will grow brighter and larger each passing year In peace his life was an example of heroic endeavor and achievement. A splendid hopefulness and a faith in his fellows largely dominated him. He had the love of his people, he had the respect and admiration of others. He lived noble, earnest and useful life, and the world is better that he lived.
 The great lessons of the life of this gallant man should not pass unheeded and therefore, 1t is ordered that the camps of the Confederation hold, as far as possible, memorial meetings in his honor. At these meetings an excellent opportunity will be afforded to bring the Veterans and the Sons of Veterans into closer relation, and to that end 1t is suggested that in all programmes the leading place be given the Veterans.

SIX LOSE LIVES
 IN LOWELL FIRE
HOTEL BLAZE HAD GAINED GREAT HEADWAY BEFORE THE FIRE. MEN REACHED THE SCENE. MANY WERE INJURED.

Lowell, Mass, January 27.-Several per- sons are thought to have lost their lives and more than twenty are injured in a fire which partially destroyed the Rich ardson hotel. one of the leading public houses in the city. early this morning.
 The fire started a few minutes before o'clock and the flames rapidly communi- cated to various parts of the structure A large number of guests were in the hotel. and those who were in the upper part of the building had little chance to escape by the stairways.
 The firemen at 2.3O o'clock found the dead bodies of six women on the top floor of the hotel
 The Richardson hotel is moderate sized structure of brick and Is four stories in height with a flat roof, situated at the corner of Middlesex and Dutton streets. The hotel was usually largely patronized by commercial travellers When the firemen reached the scene the flames had penetrated to several of the floors and dense smoke was issuing from the windows to which many of the guests in the upper part of the structure had fled to escape suffocation. The firemen and police rescued many guests, twenty or more of whom had been injured.
 At 2:30 o'clock the firemen reported that they had seen half a dozen bodies of women on the opper floor.
 There is some doubt, however. about the number of fatalities. It is thought that several persons lost their lives, but up to a. m. 1t has been impossible to tell the exact number as the hotel continues to burn fiercely in places.
 In the panic which ensued during the excitement attending the fire, many per sons were injured. Shortly after the fire broke out two unknown men were re- moved from the burning building. It was then thought there were others in the building, but the fire was burning so fiercely that search was impossible.

Paid Money to Reporter.

"Sir:-I forward herewith the report of MT. Morrison, the United States attor- ney at Chicago, showing that one of the counsel for the defendants in the indict- ments against the beef packers, has given a sum of money to a reporter of the Chicago Inter- Ocean. engaged in report ing the proceedings of the case, and un- successfully attempted to give a sum of money to another reporter of the City Press of Chicago, who declined to receive if. Tn view of the fact that the articles of the reporter of the Inter-Ocean have been misleading, contain many false state ments of fact, and have been circulated widely throughout the country, I deem it proper to bring the subject to your at tention. Under the statute which rigidly restricts the power of the federal courts to punish for contempt of court there seems to be no remedy I am advised by the district attorney that proceedings for disbarment of the offending attorney would not be likely to prevail in the fed eral courts.
 q await your instructions with refer ence to the subject. if you have any to give. Very respectfully,
