NO LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS
Leland Hotel at Springfield, ILL.,, De.
stroyed by Fire,

Springfield, ILL.,, March 27.-Fire
practically destroyed the LELAND hotel,
one Of the best known hotels in the
country. The flames originated from
some unknown cause in the upper Dor
ton OF the northwest corner of the
building and, driven by heavy wind,
spread throughout the top story and
burned through the roof.
The Republican state convention
was In session at the armory several
blocks distant and all of the delegates
were there. The most of them, how.
ever, lost all their baggage.
So far as known no lives were lost.
All OF the attendants were able to
make their es cape.
Many of the guests acted like mad
men, being determined to save their
valises at the expense of their lives.
They fought with the policemen at
the doors, who endeavored to keep
them from entering the building, and
while an officer was wrangling and
struggling with them half a dozen
others would slip past him and dash
Into the flooded lobby and up the
stairs in the effort to reach their
rooms and save their handbags.
The attendants of the hotel strug-
gled frantically with furniture and
sample trunks, saving some of the lat
ter and little of the former.
The hotel was five stories high, was
old and almost entirely of wood con-
struction.
The damage by fire comprised the
burning of the entire roof and as low
as the fourth floor in the front and
down to the third floor in the rear of
the hotel. The loss by water was
heavy. The total damage was about
$4,000.

Washington Officials May Ask Ambas

Letter Stating Reasons Why HE
Successor Was Turned Down.

Berlin, March 27.-The intimation
from the German government that Dr..
David Jayne Hill was not regarded as
adapted to the post of American am.
bassador to Germany appears to have
been made at the suggestion of EN-.
peror William. His majesty, during
the months that have elapsed since it
was announced in November that DR..
Hill would succeed Charlemagne
Tower, the present ambassador, re-.
ceived various impressions adverse to
DR.. Hill. 1t is difficult to trace the
origin of these opinions. Some OF
them came from members of the suite
OF Prince Henry, who saw much OF
DR.. Hill during his visit to the United
States six years ago; some from the
German legation at The Hague, where
DR.. Hill is at present minister, while
others doubtless were obtained In
quarters not yet apparent.
It Is clear, however, that the per
sonal conviction grew up in the EN-.
peror's mind that DR.. Hill would not
adequately and agreeably represent
the United States at this court. Some.

from a resident of Tenstrike in

(Mrs. Dyer) about a year ago and
that they had child six months

INNOCENT MAN CONVICTED
Negro Admits Murder for Which An
other Is Serving Time.

Emporia, Kan, March 27-Lewis
T. Archer, a negro recently released
from the penitentiary after serving a
sentence for assault with a deadly
weapon, has made a written statement
on the famous John Collins murder
trial, in which he alleges that an offer
was made to him, together with two
other negroes, to kill Collins father.
He asserts that John Collins, who is
now serving life sentence for the
murder of his father, is guiltless. J.
S. Collins of Topeka, a wealthy real
estate man, was murdered in his
home on May 10, 1898, supposedly by
robbers. His son, John Collins, then a
student at the Kansas university, was
convicted upon the testimony of two
negroes.

Cotton Mill Men Do Not Propose to
Restore Wage Cut.

Cotton Mill Men Do Not Propose to
Restore Wage Cut.
Boston, March 27-Cotton mill off,
Gals here hold out little encourage
ment that the wage scale prevailing
before the pending cut will be re-
stored with the recovery of business.
1t Is assumed that when business
revives all branches will proceed on
scale proportional to the new condi-
lions. Prices for goods and for raw
material are already in many lines
much lower and the average price of
commodities has sagged sharply, re-
ducing the cost of living. u
The mill officials say that they do
not look for any strikes as the result
OF the present reduction of wages, al
though with the large stocks Of goods
now on hand shutdown, they claim,
would distress the mill owners much
less than the operatives.

New York, March 27-Retail prices
of meats of all grades have increased
2 cents a pound within the last week
and before another week has gone by

of a strange combination of circum-

tons become much worse it will be
necessary for the big packers of this
country to import sheep and cattle
from the Argentine Republic and Aus
