natl, Chicago and St. Louis railroad
between the Queen City special"
which left Chicago at 11.30 Friday
night, and !, freight train. Tell per-
sons were seriously injured and sew
eral badly hurt. The passenger train

an hour. =.
The entire train was destroyed by

dianapolis sleeper Seven Of the

TROOPS WERE CALLED
To Preserve Order After Disastrous
Fir. in Beaufort, S. C.-Negroes
Threatened an Uprising.

The most disastrous fire in the his
tory of Beaufort, S. c., occurred Sat
ur0ay afternoon. The loss is estlmat-
ed at between s5c9,09O and $70O,Ooo,
about one-third covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the Darn and
stables of F. w. Scheper, on Bay
street, and its spread was rapid, as 4
high wind was blowing. The water
supply failed and efforts to fight the
flames were fruitless. They only
stopped when they had nothing more
to feed upon in the direction in Which
they were being blown.
Among the losers was the city, the
town hall and the market being con-
sumed.
The large grocery store of F. W.
Scheper was destroyed, as was the
Peoples bank, of which NJ. Scheper
was president. The banks funds and
papers were saved. A score CT other
buildings, both stores and residences,
were reduced to ashes.
For a time it looked rs though the
whole town would be destroyed.
As an aftermath of the conaagration
murmurings of negroes Sunday caused
apprehension Of an uprising, and the
authorities at once sought to secure
military protection for The city. The
mayor telegraphed Col. r. w. Patter-
son, in command of Fort Screven, Ca,
asking for company of regular
troops, to be dispatched to Beaufort
fer the preservation Of order. In re-
sponse, at S:35 o'clock Sunday night
forty-fve men, fully armed and equip
ped for service, arrived under corl-
mand of Captain Joseph Wheeler. The
detachment came On the tug Gibbons,
and Immediately guards were estab-
lishcd and patrols formed.
The discontent among the negroes
was caused by the killing of William
Bennett. a negro, by a guard early
Sunday morning. The negro was dis
covered hanging about the ruins OF
the Peoples bank, one of the build
ings destroyed by the fire. To the
challenge Of the guard ca duty there,
no satisfactory response w1s made,
it seems, anil the guard fired.
The arrival of the United States
troops relieved the apprehension of
the citizens. The negroes, impressed
by the presence of the regulars, ceas-
ed their hostile demonstrations.

YOUNG THEODORE Is MISSING.
Presidents Son Has Not Been Seen in
Cambridge Since Monday.

BOSTON, February 21-Young Theodore
Roosevelts initiation into the Porcelain
Club Is presumably in progress here. &C
cording to schedule. but as matter Of fact
the young has disappeared from his
lodgings and from the vision of all Cam
bridge.
Whether it is a part of the ceremony is
not known, but the belief is that 1t must be,
as the young man is not the kind to run
away.
After submitting to closest discipline
Monday night in the attic of the Porcelain
Club he failed to appear next day at his
lectures. As he did not visit his room in
Dunster Hall, shaun Kelly. his roommate,
called UP. He said:
Roosevelt is not in Washington. he is not
in New York. and he is not in Cambridge.
l regret that l cannot tell you where he is,
but l expect he will return early"
Whether the youth was to be initiated in
the rooms of the PORCELAIN Club again last
night no Porcellianite would divulge. AS
the clubs limitations go on secretly with
more less intermittency''-for thus the
tradition runs-until Saturday, many Har-
ward men believe that the officers of the
club have sent him out Of town on an in
itiation errand Another theory for his
strange disappearance held by many Is that
he wants to evade newspaper men, who
have called on him in great numbers since
he announced his father was to address
members of the Harvard Union next Sat-
urday afternoon

HERCULANEUM EXCAVATIONS.
Notable Plans Of Italian Professor in
Charge Of the Work.

ROME, February 21.-Prof. Boni. who has
charge of the excavations in the Roman
and Trajan forums, and who has been re-
quested to act a member Of the interna-
tional committee to collect funds for the
furtherance of the plans of Prof Charles
Waldstein Of New York and Cambridge,
England. for the excavation Of Hercu-
laneum, informed the Associated Press to-
day that in his letter to Prof. Waldstein,
published in the Tribuna yesterday, saying
he would propose to give $1O,OOO,OOO from
the surplus of the italian budget for the
excavations at Herculaneum, instead of
having him "go begging to the dishonor of
Italy amidst non-1talians," he INTENDED to
appeal to the dignity of the Italian govern
ment and people against the interference of
foreigners in the excavations, not only in
Herculaneum but elsewhere, as well as
against the collection Of unnecessary money
abroad for work for which the resources of
Italy are sufficient.
Prof. Boni particularly points to the case
of Herculaneum. where. he thinks, it is i'm
possible to spend more than $1,000 yearly
If 1t Is desired that the excavation be grad
ual and fruitful. A hurried excavation,
the professor adds, would be injurious, and
he concludes with protesting against the
collection of funds abroad, which might be
contributed for personal advertisement and
not as spontaneous offerings made on ac-
count Of admiration for antiquities.

BLOW TO POOL ROOMS.
Bill in Illinois Legislature Aims to

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, February 21.-Rep-

a bill in the lower house carrying heavy
penalties for running pool rooms. bookmak-
ing or conducting any betting operations on
the result of trials Of speed or skill of man
or beast in Illinois The bill not only ap-
plies to pool rooms on land, but includes
boats used for the purpose of carrying on
wagering on horse races and is aimed at a
steamboat used by a Chicago syndicate on
Lake Michigan for betting purposes.
The bill makes it unnecessary to prove
that the trial of skill was actually had. It
also forbids the writing. printing. publish
ing or giving away of any information con-
corning betting or odds on such contests
CHICAGO, February 21.-Breeders and
owners of thoroughbred horses who have
been looking forward to a resumption of
racing in Illinois this spring will probably
be disappointed, as there Is no effort being
made by the officials of any of the tracks
in Cook county to open the gates. The
same state of affairs will undoubtedly pre-
vail until 1905, or as long as the present
state administration is in power. When
States Attorney Healy was elected two
years ago one of the first steps he took was
to issue an ultimatum, in which he de-
clared in emphatic terms that as long as he
remained in Office and the present laws pro-
hibiting wagering on the results of horse
races were In force there would be no rae
ing of the thoroughbreds unless the track
officials were content to hold their meetings
