FOUR STUDENTS ANH . THRES TOWNSMEN PERISH IN FIRE. CHI PSI HOUSE BURNED Great Heroism Is Displayed by the Boys and Volunteer Firemen in the Work ,.«f .,*,,4. Rescue. . / Ithaca, N. Y.--The $200,000 man­ sion of the Chi Psi fraternity at Cor­ nell university--the finest chapter house in the world--burned early Fri­ day, and seven persons perished in the conflagration. Of these four were students, and the others prominent townsmen who had responded to the alarm in the capacity of volunteer firemen., , x The bodies of the dead, with the exceution of those of W. H. Nichols, of Chicago, and P. W. Grelle,, of East Orange, N. J., were recovered. Friday night it was decided to dynamite the ruins to facilitate the search for the missing jH><fies: " The dead are: Attorney Alfred S. Robinson, hook and ladder company No. 3. John C.

The heroism of the volunteer fire­ men who died attacking the fire was matched by the heroism of Schmuck, who reentered the burning building in a futile effort to save Nichols, his room-mate, and who died later from his injuries, and by the courage of McCutcheon, who remained in the flames until fatally burned, to assist his comrades to escape. Pope, the freshman, received his injuries while seeking to rescue other members of the fraternity. Among .those earliest on the scene, and who contributed most of the work of rescue from the flames which had already converted the first floor of the doomed dormitory into an in­ ferno, were several Cornell football men. All did effective work. It has been declared that the work of Sam Halliday, the old fullback, and * of Earle and Gibson, the halfbacks of the season ended, united with that of the Chi Psi men who risked their lives that their brothers might live, will be remembered long in the an­ nals of Cornell. The cause of the fire will probably never be discovered. The building is an unsightly wreck, with no particle of Its Inner furniture remaining.

Around the house have clustered the memory of the great fight for the Fiske millions waged between Prof. Willard Fiske* the husband, and Judge Boardm&n, as the representa­ tive of Cornell, to which Mrs. Fiske had left the bulk of her estate. INDICTED FOR UNO FRAUDS TRUE BILL8 RETURNED GRAND JURY IN UTAH. mt Railroads and Officials Charged Again** .Certain; " Shippers. ' v V Salt Lake City.--The federal grand jury that is investigating coal land frauds in Utah and charges that rail­ road corporations have discriminated against certain shippers made a par- tial report Friday afternoon. Indict­ ments were returned against the Union Pacific Railroad company, the Oregon Short Line Railroad company, the Union Pacific Coal company, the Utah Fuel Coal company and several of the highest officials representing the Harriman and Gould corporations in Utah, „ Bench warrants for the arrest of persons accused in the two indict­ ments were issued. Bonds in the case of each individual accused was fixed at $3,000. Fred R. Maynard, of Washington* assistant attorney general, who has been conducting the investigation be­ fore the grand jury, is authority for the statement that two other indict­ ments charging perjury before th# grand jury have been returned. The lands were filed on in March, 1905. Assistant Attorney General Maynard state<f that when the grand jury recon­ venes after the holidays the, inquisi­ tion will be resumed. The indictments returned Friday, he said, mark only the beginning of the government's probing operations in Utah and Wy­ oming, and the violations of laws al­ leged In these indictments are only in­ cidents ^ef a gigantic system of fraud that has been in operation in the west for many years. The indictment against the Utah Fuel company and the six agents of that company is based on the methods used in acquiring about 1,400 acres of coal lands in Sevier county, Utah. The two men indicted for perjury proved to be Theodore Schulte, the employe of an insurance firm, and Thomas/A. Moore, abstractor in the county Recorder's office. Both were arrested Friday night and released on $2,500 bail. The other defendants have not been formally arrested, but have, it is. giv­ en out, arranged to appear before Unit­ ed States Commissioner Baldwin to­ day.

Eleven Persons Are Injured and Many Buildings Burned. Lynn, Mass.--The explosion of a boiler Thursday in the four-story factory building of the P. J. Harney Shoe Manufacturing company on Alley street and the fire which immediately followed destroyed 14 buildings in the West Lynn manufacturing district, causing a total loss estimated at about $520,000. Eleven persons were injured, one, Miss Celia Tradenburg, an opera­ tive intone of the burned factories, be­ ing in a critical condition at a hospital. In addition to the direct loss, the shoe manufacturers will suffer severely from the interruption to their Christ­ mas business. The fire swept over several acres, burning three other factory buildings, the Boston & Maine railroad station and a number of small dwellings.

GREAT DISTRES8 IN CLIFTON. Town Swept by Flood IS In a Most Deplorable Condition. Solomonville, Ariz.--Late details of the Clifton flood disaster indicate a most deplorable condition among the inhabitants and tremendous loss of property. Practically every building in the town is damaged. Many were swept entirely away. Numerous es­ capes from death are reported. Two men were swept "through the streets and .saved themselves by catching the awnings of a store and breaking through the plate glass front. Pa­ tients in the hospital were placed in a car and sent to higher ground before the flood reached the building.

Shaw, secretary of the treasury, reiterates his recom­ mendation of a restricted credit cur­ rency and suggests that if more pow­ er is granted the secretary panics can be prevented or their evil effects greatly reduced. He points out the danger of the "central bank" plan, and urges his own methods to increase circulation when there is a stringency in the money market, and to contract the currency when mdney is redundant. A taxed credit currency he considers the best method, supplemented by power granted the secretary to handle a $100,000,000 reserve fund, sending it into the market when needed and withdrawing It when not needed.

Guilty of Murdering His Sweet­ heart, Grace Brown. Herkimer, N. Y.--The jury in the trial of Chester E.. Gillette for the murder of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, at Big Moose laket, on July 11 last, Tuesday night returned a verdict of guilty in the first degree. The jury, which had deliberated for five" hours, sent word at 11 o'clock that a verdict had been reached. A moment later it filed into the court­ room and at 11:15 o'clock an officer who had been sent for Gillette, re­ turned with the prisoner. It was learned that the jury had some difficulty ih reaching an agree­ ment and six ballots were taken be­ fore the 12 men agreed. Up to that time the jury had stood 11 for convic­ tion and one for acquittal. There are, and have been for some time, all kinds of rumors that Gilette has been overheard to make some kind of a confession that he killed Grace Brown. Some of these stories are that jail officials heard him con­ fess to his lawyers; others that he told a visitor who called on him that he had struck the girl and that the visitor told the district attorney. No­ body connected with the case In any way will confirm any of these stories. District Attorney Ward refused to confirm or deny the report that Gil­ lette was overheard to make a confes­ sion to his attorney that he struck Grace Brown at Big Moose lake. COUNT BONI 18 SNUBpED. Many French Deputies Leave Cham* lifer When He 8peaks. Paris. -- Count Bonl de Castel- lane spoke in the chamber of depu­ ties Thursday during the debate on the Algeciras treaty. Half the mem­ bers of the chamber of deputies ab­ ruptly left the house when the count' ascended the tribune. 3 The snub was given deliberately in the presence of the diplomatic corps and the entire cabinet. Count Bonl stood, hands in trousers pockets, with a flippant smile on his face during the confusion occasioned by the withdrawal of more than 200 deputies. When quiet was restored Bonl ad­ dressed the chamber, apparently not having been disconcerted by the re­ buke. He was jauntily attired, wear­ ing a lavender colored waistcoat, a red necktie, and he spoke easily, al­ most airily, He argued that France was continuing the policy of ex-For­ eign Minister Delcasse, which aimed at the conquest of Morocco. Then he took his seat, in the midst of almost deathlike silence in th chamber. No one applauded him or replied to him. He was treated with contemptuous indifference. The chamber ratified the Algeciras treaty by unanimous vote. Oil Magnates Are Subpoenaed. New York. -- John D.

His Conduct Called Peculiarly IK* .gentlemanly, and Statement « f ' About Message to Pope Branded as Untrue. Washington -- President Roosevelt Sunday night made public a long letter addressed to Secretary Root giving correspondence between the president and former Ambassador Bellamy Storer, at Vienna, and Mrs. Storer, in which he says that Mr. Storer's refusal to answer his letters and the publication of various private letters justified the ambassador's removal; that Mr. fitorer's publication of private correspondence was peculiarly tingen- tlemanly and that he (the president) had stated with absolute clearness his position the reason why it was out of the question for him as president to try to get any archbishop made cardinal, though expressing his admir­ ation for Archbishol Ireland as well as leaders of other denominations. He says he thinks it well that the members of the cabinet should know certain facts "which he (Storer) either suppresses or misstates." He says he did not resent the action of the Storers "until it became evident they were likely to damage America^ interests." He says Mrs. Storer urged him to give her husband a cabinet place and that she stated Mr. Choate at London and General Porter at Paris were not proper persons to. be am­ bassadors, suggesting her husband in that connection. % The president incorporates a letter from Postmaster General Cortelyou contradicting the statement that Pres­ ident McKinley had commissioned a gentleman to ask the pope "as a per­ sonal fav^r to him," and as "an honor to the country" to appoint Archbishop Ireland as cardinal. Mr. Cortelyou says the president never made any such request The president declares that Mr. Storer's statement that he authorized any such message to be delivered to Pope Plus is ufttrue. He says that he never received a letter from Ambassador Storer giving an account of his visit to the Vatican and of the message he personally gave the pope on behalf of Mr| Roosevelt. The president's action follows the publication of "the confidential pam­ phlet" which Mr. Storer last week sent to the president, the cabinet and the senate foreign relations committed: FRANCE FACES A CRI8IS. Pope's Encyclical May Result In Grave Disorder^ France seems alarming religious crisis. Saturday night's reports of the Pope's eleventh hour rejection of the government's final proffer under which Catholic worship could be continued under the common law.turns out to be only tod true and the deadlock now is appar­ ently complete. According to the holy father's orders, declarations under l&w of 1881 are prohibited, but the parish priests must remain in their churches until driven out by violence. The government regards the action of the pontiff as little less than a sum­ mons of the French Catholics to open 1 rebellion, as - rendering the situation 1 exceedingly grave and possibly en­ tailing the most deplorable conse­ quences. -r";; Rear Admiral Asserson Diet.

"I came here eight years ago as th® renter of this farm, of which soon aft­ erward I became the owner. The time before that I like to forget. The chief impression is left upon my memory, now happily growing indistinct, is of being hurried faster than I could well travel. From the moment as a boy of 17 I first began to pay my own way my days were ordered by an inscrut­ able power which drove me hourly to my tasks. I was rarely allowed to* look up or down, but always forward, toward that vague success which we Americans love to glorify. "My senses, my nerves, even my muscles were continually^ strained to the utmost of attainment. If I loi­ tered or paused by the wayside, aa It seems natural for me to do, I soon heard the sharp crack of the lash. For many years, and I can say it truth­ fully, I never rested. I neither thought nor reflected. I had no pleas­ ure, even though I pursued it fierce­ ly during the brief respite of vaca­ tions. Through many feverish years I did not work; I merely produced. "The only real thing I did was to hurry as if every moment were my last, as if the world, which now seems so rich in everything, held only one prize which might be seized ufron be­ fore I arrived. Since then I have tried to recall like one who struggles to restore the visions of a fever what it was that I ran to attain or why I should have borne without rebel­ lion such indignities to soul and body. That life seems now, of all illusions, the most distant afnd unreal. It is like that unguessed eternity before wo are born,--not of concern compared with that eternity upon which we iurs now embarked. "All these things happened in cities and among crowds.

Rear-Admiral Sir,Edward Chiches­ ter of the British navy, who died re­ cently, used to tell this bit of history of the far east, just before Russia took possession of Port Arthur: "I ran Into Port Arthur one morning and anchored alongside a Russian cruiser. Well, there was the devil to do. The port admiral put off and told me S could not anchor there. I said I was already anchored. He said I must weigh again and get out. I told him I wouldn't budge an Inch until It suited me, and, in the meantime, 1 must have fresh provisions and vege­ tables. Then there was no end of ex­ citement, Russian jpinnaces and Chi­ nese pinnaces darting all over the harbor. I went quietly about my bus­ iness. The Chinese said they would complain to my government. I grinned. This went on for some time, and then I got orders from home- Salisbury was getting old then, and probably a little weak--to leave Port Arthur and sail for Chefu.
