FAMOUS HOUSE BURNED
Ranch Home at SiIkviIIe, Built so
Years Ago, Total Loss

Ottawa, Kan, May 2.-The old
home built by Ernest Valentine de
Boissiere, a wealthy French nobleman,
at Silkville, near here sixty years ago
was destroyed by fire late Sunday
night. The home at one time con-
tanned sixty rooms and was said to
have cost 100000.
De Boissiere came to Kansas with
the hope of creating a great silk in
dustry. He imported silk cocoons from
France and devoted several thousand
acres of land to his venture. 1t did
not prove successful and De Boissiere
was bankrupted in the failure of his
scheme.
In 1892 he made a donation of the
home and 3,156 acres of land to the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows of
Kansas as an orphans home The
property passed finally to D. NJ Hud-
son, the present owner. The holdings
were in constant litigation, forming
one of the principal chapters in the
legal annals of Kansas.

Many Messages Exchanged
With Washington.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

Berlin, May 2.-Germany's reply to
the American note demanding a
change in submarine warfare under
threat of diplomatic break, has been
completed.
Some few alterations may be made
in it's text. These, however, will not
alter the character of the note, which
was decided upon several days ago.
Nothing definite can be learned as to
when it will be dispatched but it is
probable it will be put on the cable to
Washington tonight or tomorrow.
The American embassy received
from Washington yesterday message
explaining the Interpretation placed by
the United States on certain points of
international law involved in the note.
This message was telegraphed at once
to Ambassador Gerard, who was in
conference with the kaiser.
Ends Visit With Kaiser.
The embassy received word that
Gerard was leaving the kaiser's head
quarters last night and would probably
arrive here this morning.
The ambassador telegraphed that he
would cable to Washington a long re-
port on his conference with the kaiser
Whether he will bring a private mes
sage to President Wilson from the
kaiser is not known.
Officials prefer that correspondents
cable nothing indicative of Germany's
reply until the communication is re-
ceived in Washington. 1t was stated
however. that nothing has occurred to
change the situation materially since
last Wednesday when this correspond
ent made the exclusive statement on
excellent authority that the crisis had
virtually passed and there would be
no break between Germany and the
