Leavenworth, Kas., March 31-The
military prison at Fort Leavenworth
was destroyed by fire late tonight.
The prisoners were removed from the
cell houses under a heavy guard of
United States troops and confined in
a stockade. None of the prisoners es-
capped, so far as hasty resume Of the
situation after midnight showed, but
this may not be definitely known till
daylight.
Owing to the low water pressure
the fire department of the Fort was
almost useless. The fire was fought
by the soldiers, who were ordered out
of their quarters, and those who
were ON leave in the city were at once
called back to the fort.
Two soldiers were injured while
fighting the flames, but none Of the
prisoners were hurt.

is much speculation among Venezue-

which she is preparing to set out is
one not friendly to the present ex-

gloves Of the poor, who are least able
to stand 1t. and Al per cent advance
on the gloves OF the rich, to whom in

In the matter OF hats, the duty up

means-is placed at rs per cent. Hats
valued at SIS per dozen are made du-
table at 48 per cent.
The cheaper grades of fblankets-
the kind used by the poor-are du-
table at 105 per cent, which means
that on every dollars worth of blank
cts shipped in a tax of $1.05 is added
for the consumer to pay. Or, another
way of looking at 1t is that the Payne
bill will force the poor to pay $2.05
for every 81 worth OF blankets used.

Plain cotton goods and all woolens

KANSASPEN.
IS BURNED

Leavenworth, Kansas, April l.
200 U. S. soldiers were required to
maintain order and prevent the es-
cape of prisoners this morning when
fire destroyed four buildings of the
Federal military prison The fire,
which probably started in the prison
tailor shop, gained rapid headway and
the fire department of Leavenworth
was called out. When the fire became
distressingly hot near the cell houses
guard lines were formed about the
buildings.
The convfcts at first were overjoyed
and yelled "let her burn" but when
the flames leaped nearer, panic seiz-
ed them and they begged to be let
out. Col. Laughborough, seeing the
danger, ordered the doors open and
the prisoners were marched out to a
far corner and huddled under the lev
eied rifles of the guards. Later infan-
try was called out and then the Leav-
enworth fire department responded
but could not save the buildings. The
burned buildings will not be rebuilt
owing to the fact that a new prison
is now under construction. The priS-
oners number 500 and are practically
all short term military convicts.

Until three months ago it is charged
that Nichols and Mullens had lived

selves as agents for the Southwestern
