FLEE IN NIGHT ROBES AS
 OLD HOTEL BURNS

East Lyme, Conn, March 13--The Maynard House, with accommodations for twenty guests, and the Center Market were burned early today. AL though there were 12 persons in the hotel and many of them were rescued in their night clothes by means of lad ders. only Mrs D. o. Maynard was in jl1red, she having slight burns.
 The fire burned with intensity and for a time threatened the Maynard House stables, the Old Lynne town hall and three dwellings. the latter be- ing across the street. The totol prop erty loss is $5.00o, falling upon David o. Maynard, who has only a small amount of insurance. The fire appar- ently started from a furnace in the ho- tel, the door having been left open as customary. It was first seen by MT. TouIey, a bridge builder. Two auto mobile fire engines ran here from New London, 16 miles distant, and did eff fective work in saving the stables. The meat marker was managed by William H. Maynard.

tereSts opposed to democratic reforms he experienced considerable difficulty in forming a. cabinet The Liberals re- fused to aid him. At the second ses- sion of his cabinet on Nov. Il, a pro- ject was considered for placing the council of empire on an elective basis.
 Abonut this time there were serious labor troubles in all parts of the ern- pire. Serious threats on the part of the Poles to proclaim a revolution led Count Witte to advise the emperor to declare martial law in Poland. On Nov. 19, however, the workmen's coun- cil decided to end the strike.
 The number of enemies of The pre- mier steadily increased and the de- mand for his removal gained strength Dissatisfied with his treatment at the hands of the emperor and feeling that it was beyond his power to restore tranquility, Count Witte rendered his resignation as premier on Dec. 2, 1905, but it was not accepted and he was or dered to retain his office until he was relieved. Official announcement that his resignation had been accepted was received, however, on May 3, 1908, and his retirement from public life became complete.
 In his farewell rescript to Count Witte, Emperor Nicholas thanked him cordially for his services to the em- pire and attributed his retirement to the shattering of his health by his ar- duous, 1abors. Shortly after his re- tirement, Oount Witte left Russia with his second wife and visited various health resorts, undergoinc several op- erations. In recent years several ef- forts had been. made by friends to have him appointed to several impor- tant offices in Russia but they were
 unsuccessful and there was no evi- denec that he fostered them.

London, March 13.-Count zergius Julovich Witte, Russia's first prime minister, died last night, says a. Pet rograd despatch to Reuters Telegram comapny.
 1S49, at Tihis, was one of the Russian plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth, N. H., in the negotiationssfor peace with Japan. He retired in 1906 and held no important post after that time.
 Witte's desire to develop Manchuria commercially rather than politically led to powerful influence being brought ter of finance. He went for 9 time to Paris but returned to Petrograd when the Russo-Japanese war began. When President Rooseevlt prevailed upon the emperor, to consider terms of peace practically the entire nation united in demanding the see1ceion of Witte as plenipotentiary.
 At the Portsmouth conference he succeeded in gaining terms under which Russia was not obliged to pay a cash Indemnity to Japan. This achievement made Witte again a hero to the Russians. The emperor reward ed him for his services by making him a count.
 It was at this time that the Russian people began c1amoring harder than lever for a share in the government. When the imperial manifesto was is- sued which granted some of the de- mandS, Witte became premier in Rus sia's first real cabinet, on Oct. 31, 1905. His appointment as president of the council of ministers was announced a week later The next day he pledged himself to support the plan for a con vocation of the national assembly.
