FIRE DESTROYS
HOTEL RUPERT
At LANSF0RD
Guests and All Help Aroused in
Time to Save Their Personal
BELONGINGS

Lansford, March 2S.--The Hotel
Rupert at this city, owned and oper-
ated by William Winney, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire at an early
hour yesterday. The fire was discov-
cred at 2:45 o'clock but had gotten
under such headway at the time that
it was impossible to save the build
ing. The origin of the fire is. un-
known, but it probably started from
kindling on the second floor. The
bidding was heated with stoves.
The structure was a two story
wooden building and was worth with
its contents, all of which were de-
stroyed, something like $4,000. There
was $4,000 insurance on the building
and furnishings.
The guests and all the help were
aroused in time to get out with all Of
their personal belongings, but with
the fire rapidly sweeping the upper
floor it was impossible to remove any
thing from the rooms. The fire was
confined to the one structure and no
other damage was done.

Washington, March 2S.--Wilson
will have to be positively definite and
specific in every detail to get what
he wants from congress: This is the
impression on the hill. A vast ma
jority of the 40 per cent of the mem.
bers who are already here for the eX-
ira session feel that way about it.
They say that if the president shows
any inclination to be general or to be
timidly suggestive of what he wants
wide difference of opinion will re-
suit and perhaps be disastrous to Il
real program.
Congressional leaders and men in
the ranks say fatty that the temper
Of congress is that they must be told
why they were called into extra ses-
sion and what he wants them to do.
Speculation was rife as to what will
be the attitude Of Senator Stone on
any warlike move asked of congress.
Stone, chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee, is really more Of
an enigma than the presidents forth
coming message. Reports here are
that Stone will come out openly
against any more warlike act than
has been taken against Germany.
Whether he will go as far as he did
in regard to the armed ship resolu-
tion is causing much speculation.

STALLION DIES .
IN FLAMES THAT
DESTROY STABLE
Government Barn Near Weather
Station Burned Early To-
day-Loss About $4,000

Fire, presumably caused from a
spark of a passing westbound extra
freight, destroyed the government
barn, south of the railroad tracks
from the weather observatory, at $
o'clock this morning. One brown stall
lion, owned by Orris w. Roberts, who
paid $4,000 for the animal six years
ago, perished in the flames. A buggy,
several sets of harness and other par
aphernalia were destroyed.
George Stroll, a hired man employ
ed by Roberts, broke his left hand
in an attempt to break his way into
the barn to save the stallion. Stroll
was taken to the st. Alexius hospital.
The westbound freight passed the
barn about 4:40 o'clock. Shortly af-
terwards the flames were discovered
and made good headway under the &c.
mile an hour gale. The barn was in
sured for about $500. The loss to Mr..
Roberts is about $4,000.
