SOLVE THE PROBLEM
AMERICAN DELEGATES SUGGEST
A SOLUTION OF MOROCCAN
DIFFICULTY.

TIUbdooddOf NFItbCy FCdtitlH GfodStCS
ment, Submits New Proposal for
Settlement of Police Question-Plan
Is Approved by Interested Powers
and Is Believed to Be Acceptable to
Germany and France.
Algeciras, Spain, March 28.-Am-
bassador White and the others of the
American delegation to the conference
on Moroccan reforms were showered
with compliments during the day for
what is regarded as their sagacious
Intervention, which has assured a solu-
ton of the last remaining serious diff
iculty of the conference and a final
settlement of one of the most delicate
and complicated questions ever
brought before the conference for de-
cfsion.
Austria's police proposal Monday
left the German and French delegates
still occupying totally opposed stand
points relative to the police inspection.
Mr.. White, seeing the danger of dis
agreement, took the initiative in an at
tempt to save the situation. He and
his colleagues drew up a fresh scheme,
laying down the proposition that the
inspector shall report simultaneously
to both the sultan and the diplomatic
corps at Tangier, the latter having au-
thority to order inquiries into the
working of the Franco spanish police
scheme, thus guaranteeing the carry
ing out of the conferences decision
and safeguarding foreign interests and
commercial transactions. The diplo-
matte corps, after informing the sui
tan, may also at any time order the
inspector to inquire and report, should
any interested government present a
complaint.
Before presenting this plan to the
committee, Mr.. White approached the
principal delegates. The British,
Italian and Russian delegates unhesi-
tatingly approved the proposal and
promised 1t their fullest support. Mr..
White then conferred successfully
with the French and German dele
gates, who agreed as to the practically
ity of the idea and consented to submit
the scheme to their respective govern
ments, whose concurrence they con
slider to be virtually certain.

WALTER WELLMAN.
Journaifsf-ExplOrer Again to Visit
the Polar Regions

a new interest in Arctic exploration
has been aroused by the announcement
of Walter Wellman that he and Santos
Dumont. the aerial navigator, will start
in the near future upon an expedition
which they hope will carry them to the
North pole. They will 60 in an airship
and will describe their journeys as they
proceed northward by aid of the wireless
telegraphy and submarine cables. 1t is
the most spectacular undertaking in the
history of Arctic exploration.
Walter Wellman is an able journalist.
Washington correspondent of leading
dailies. and a reliable writer. He is also
an explorer, having twice visited the
polar regions. On his first expedition in
1894 he reached the S1st degree. His
ship was crushed in the ice and he suf-
fered many hardships. On his second
xpedition-1S9S-9-he went to Franz
Joseph Land, by way of Archangel, Rus
STA, having 81 dogs with him. After
fruitless efforts to push his ship farther
north in waters which the following year
were free of ice ian example of the luck
that runs in the Arctic, he was forced
TO establish his base at Cape Yagethoff
latitude so degrees 4 minutes. In the
autumn an outpost was established &C
miles farther north. From this outpost
Wellman and his men eventually moved
north and explored hitherto unknown
regions, but their cherished hope of 60
ing further north than other explorer:
was spoiled by an injury to Wellman':
leg and by the destruction of some oil
the camp equipment.
Ever since the second expedition Mr.
Wellman has been a close STUDENT ot
Arctic work and conditions. Probably
he has never been able to get the polar
fever entirely out of his system. In ad
dition to his newspaper and magazine
work he has written much on geograph
zeal and exploration topics. He has lee
tured before the Royal Geographical SO
ciety of London, the British Association
for the Advancement of Science, the Ma
tional Geographical Society OF Washing

TEN DIE IN FIRE.
DISASTROUS Blaze i'm West Hotel,
MINNEAPOLIS.


Minneapolis.
Fire in the West Hotel at Minneapo-
lis early Wednesday morning cost the
lives of ten persons, damaged the great
hostelry to the extent of $4,000 and
gave throngs of spectators views of
thrilling rescues by the firemen that
called forth cheers from the crowds.
Feats of heroism by the firefightVrs
kept down the death list, although
Captain John Berwin of hook and lad
der company No. l persisted while
working to lower a woman from the
fifth story.
The fire was discovered at 7:15
o'clock and the guests and employees
were given prompt alarms by the no.
tells system of electric bells. Fire es-
capes cut off by roaring flames, famed
by a cold and strong wind. and halls
filled by impenetrable smoke caused
three people to jump from windows to
their deaths. The firemen had the
flames under control within an hour
and at 8 80 it was reported that it was
eXtinguiShed.
The West Hotel has for many years
been regarded as the leading hosiery
of Minneapolis. 1t was built nearly
twenty years ago by the late Colonel
John T. West and was made as nearly
fireproof as possible. Located at 9Th
street and Hennepin avenue, it occu-
pied a commanding position in the city
and was regarded as a show place and
one Of the leading attractions of the
city. The facilities afforded by the
hotel brought scores of conventions and
other gatherings to the city and rarely
were its accommodations overtaxed.
The Republican national convention
of 1892 was secured to MINNEAPOLIS
chiefly because of the West Hotel. The
vast lobby, declared to be the largest
in the United States, was easily able
to accommodate the crowds which filed
the place. Many other notable gather
ings were held within its walls and in
the afternoon and evening it was the
center for business and professional
men to gather. With the death of Col.
West the property passed into other
hands

az MILES OF BUILDINGS.
value Of Chicago Structures Erected
in 1905 Is $82,OOO,OOO.

IN IcOO Is $OS,OOO,OOO.
The equivalent of over forty-seven
miles of buildings, single frontage, cost
ing approximately $62, 0OOOOO-a record
exceeding only by the phenomenal activ-
ity of 1892, the year preceding the
worlds fair-represents the colossal
building operations in Chicago during
the past year. The real estate transac-
lions of the year. with a total of APP
proximately $14O,000.0O0, also exceeded
those of any year since 1892. Consider
ing all the circumstances, this record is
probably the most remarkable in the
history of the city and testihes to its
phenomenal growth and prosperity.
While Astounding in interesting details.
there is probably no other feature of
the years building operations of so strik-
ing and suggestive a character as that
covering apartment house or fat con-
struction. This has been on an UMPIRE
cedentedly large scale. For 1904 the
total reached S14,339, 600, as compared
with 81 $50, 300 for 1903, breaking all
previous records. The figures for this
year, estimating the last half of Deem
Der, show the enormous total of SOL
SO9,9O0, counting only permits of $4,000
and upward. 1t should be said that in
Guided in this are buildings containing
both flats and stores, but these cut q
comparatively small figure in the total.
These figures are fairly staggering in
their magnitude. But when it is said
that the total residence construction
counting only permits above $1,000
amounts to $2,S49,6OO, some idea may
be had of the rapidity with which Chi
cago is becoming a great city of fats.
1t also serves to suggest the rapidity
with which the city is growing. For
despite all these new buildings, builders
and agents having them in charge report
that they are being filled as soon as com
pleted. The fact that rents generally are
being we'll maintained would seem to
confirm this.

FROM COMEDY TO TRAGEDY.
Boarder Entertaining Children Is
Clicked to Death.

Ernest Dozois, a man of middle age,
who had lived for twenty years at Mrs.
Annie Books boarding house in Brook
lyn. y. ", started to play with her three
children after dinner the other night. He
took piece of beefsteak from the table
and amused them by tossing it in the air
and catching it between his teeth, growl-
ing while he did so. He did it many
times and the chilren were greatly
amused. At last he began to laugh a
good deal himself and while he was
laughing heartily he caught and bit the
beefsteak again. 1t went into his throat
and caught in mis- windpipe. Dozois stop
ped laughing suddenly, making motions
with his hands and coughing hard. The
children thinking this part of the game
laughed all the more and ran TO tell their
mother. The woman realized at once
what was the matter and forced her fin
gers down the mans throat in an at
tempt to extricate the meat. She was
not successful, however, and the dying
mans jaws closed on her fingers, cutting
them to the bone Dozois died and his
jaws had to be pried open to release the
wOman's fingers which were cauterized
TO prevent blood poisoning.

Succuinbs to Long Illness.
William Rainey Harper, president
of the University of Chicago, is dead.
His long struggle against the ravages
of an intestinal cancer-a terrible, ira
gle, losing fight of nearly twelve
months duration-ended Wednesday
afternoon, when, exhausted by suffer
ing and wasted from lack of nourish-
ment, his life slowly flickered out His
last words, before he passed into the
final coma from which he never awOke
were murmured, half-incoherent mes
sages Of farewell to the members OF
his family, all of whom were at the
bedside. The sentence. God always
helps" was repeated often by the dy-
ing man.
Six weeks ago it became apparent
to DR.. Harper's physicians that the
sands of his life were almost run. His
friends, his wife and children, and
even the patient himself, recognized
that the end was at hand.
His strength failed rapidly, and the
pain that tortured him became so ex
treme that opiates were administered
constantly by hypodermic injection

WAGES SMALL FoReIoFAMILIEs
Chfld-Labor Secretary Discusses
Presidents Theory.

AhcOTys
President Roosevelt's declaration in
favor of big families was discussed be-
fore the New Rochelle Peoples for 1
in New York Sunday. The Rev. Owen
II. Lovejoy, secretary of the National
Child Labor committee. declared that ex-
cept in special cases the President was
mistaken in promulgating such ideas
among the American people. Many men,
he said, were working to-day at the
bench and in the factory for less wages
than their fathers received for the same
amount of work and it was costing them
more to live.
Such men, he said, if they were of con-
scientious type, would hesitate at the re-
sponsibility of bringing children into the
world to struggle and toll for bare hv-
ing without prospects of advancement.
Mr.. Lovejoy estimated the number Of
children employed at manufacture and
mining in the United States at 1000, 900.
which, he said, is far too many, as they
are crowding men and women out of
work and lowering wages.
He said that the National Child Labor
committee, in conjunction with the Ma
tional Consumers League, would go to
Washington this winter to try to have
Congress pass bill to establish an ad-
ditional child-labor bureau, which would
raise the condition of working children to
that Of France and Germany.
