MILITARY PRISON BURNS.
Prisoners Were All Rescued without
Single Escape.

Leavenworth, Kans., March 31.--The
military prison at Fort Leavenworth was
destroyed by fire late tonight. The
prisoners were removed from the cell
house under heavy guard of United
States troops and confined in a stockade
None of the prisoners decamped, so
far as a hasty resume of the situation
aftermidnight showed, but this may not
be definitely known until daylight.
Owing to the low water pressure, the
fire department was almost useless. The
fire was fought by the soldiers of the
fort, who we're ordered out of their
quarters, and those who were ON leave
in the city were at once called back To
the fort.
Much excitement attended the removal
Of the prisoners, many of whom were
desperate characters. II was feared they
would make an organized break for
safety.
The fire broke out at 10 o'clock in the
tailor shop and soon il was seen that
the building was doomed A great cry
at once broke out in the prison, the con-
yicts fearing they would be burned to
death. They battered on the doors of
their cells as the light of the fire
strcamed in through the windows. Many
screamed in terror as the authorities for
the moment refused to remove them.

The Patient West.


We have some statesmen In Wash

dence of that portion of the United
States lying west of the Allegheny
mountains in claiming voice in ma
tional government.
we have senators, and even repre-
sentatives, who apparently act on the
theory that the territory embraced by
the thirteen original states is still the
real American republic and that the
great West, the Northwest and South
west are still in n state of tutelage,
almost like the Philippines and Porto
Rico. This class of statesmen consid-
ers the Vest too immature to have any
political voice worthy serious consid-
GRAFTON. The Vests protest against a
robber tariff. for instance, is to them
like child's resentment against neces-
sary discipline.
The Payne tariff bill is deeply
scared with these marks of dlstrust.
1t bristles with evidence of contempt
for the Vests Judgment on economic
matters There is the usual studied
slight of the wishes and needs Of the

the interests of those Americans who
populate the New England and Allan
