Pittsburg. Feb. 10.?At S::iO last nightfire started in the large six-story eoldstorage house of the Chautauqua Lakelee Co.. occupying l the block fromTwelfth to Thirteenth streets betweenPike street and Mulberry alley, andbefore the flames were subdued at 1:15a. in. nearly 82,000,000 worth of prop-erty had been destroyed, at least sixlives lost and many people badly in-jured. The fire in point of fatalities isthe most serious that Pittsburg hashad in years. The department re-sponded quickly and a general alarmwas sent in. Other alarms quicklyfollowed and at midnight Allegheny'sdepartment was called upon for help.The following' is a list of the killed sofar as can be learned:

Mrs. Site, aifed 50 years.Stanley Sife. a«ed 15 years.David Loveless, aged 35.Police Captain Berry.Two unidentified men.The fire started in the storage build-

ing of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co.

aud the origin is unknown. The vicini-ty is composed of a mixture of hugewarehouses and many private resi-dences. the inhabitants of which fledin alarm, carrying with them as muchportable household goods as possible.There were frequent explosions, whichgreatly added to the consternation audalarm. The streets were blocked withpeople and their goods interfered withthe firemen, who were already handi-capped in their efforts to control theflames, on account of the windows anddoors of the burning buildings beingstrongly barred by heavy iron shutters.

At 11:15 p. m. an explosion of whiskyoccurred, which blew out the Mulberryalley wall with terrible results. Atthe time the alley was filled with lire-men, policemen, newspaper men andothers. Many were caught by the fall-ing wall. Many people were injuredby flyingbricks and beams and all theambulances and patrol wagons of thecity were in constant service.

Just after the explosion the largewarehouse of W. A. Hoeveler & Co.,

situated on Pike street, directly oppo-site the Chautauqua Co.'sbuilding, was

ablaze and in a >liort time was beyondhope of sa. ing. At about 1:15 the firewas gotten under control. Until thefallen walls have been cleared awaythere can be no certainty as to thenumber of victims.

FREE STORAGE CASES.

Inter-State Commission Decides Them(Against the Kallroads.

Washington, Feb. 10. ?The inter-statecommerce commission yesterday an-

nounced itsdeeision.of the case broughtby the American Warehousemen's as-

sociation against the Illinois Centralrailroad and 52 other carriers, knownas the "free storage case." It holdsthat a common carrier with no generalduty to act as a warehouseman for in-definite periods in connection with itsprimary obligations as a common car-rier, cannot provide shippers with val-uable warehouse facilities which areessential to its business as a carrier,without furnishing them for all ship-pers at all times and upon the sameterms and notifying the public.

Carriers will therefore be requiredto plainly indicate upon the schedulespublished and filed with the commis-sion what storage in stations, ware-

houses or cars will be permitted, andall the terras and conditions uponwhich the same will be granted.

The order takes effect April 1 andfrom that date all carriers must ceasegranting storage which is not a neces-sary part of receiving and deliveringfreight, unless the same is specified inthe schedules.

LUETGERT IS GUILTY.Jury Decides that the Sausage Maker Must

l>e Imprisoned for Life.

Chicago, Feb. 10. ?Adolph L. Luetgert\u25a0was last night convicted of the murderof his wife and sentenced to imprison-ment in the penitentiary for life, liereceived the verdict with a laugh. Itwas 10:50 when word was sent to thecourt room by the jury that it hadagreed upon a verdict and was waitingto bring it into court. The news of averdict spread like lightning to thestreet and in a few minutes the courtroom was jammed with people.

The sound of Clerk Knopf's voice hadnot died away after reading the ver-

dict when Attorney Harmon entered a

motion for a new trial, which was en-tered and will be argued in a few days.

Luetgert was led back to jailin ap-parently good spirits, glad for onething that his long suspense was endedat last and comforted by the assurancesof his lawyers that he will get a newtrial, and that the state will not beable to convict him a second time.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.Story of a Kansas Woman Who .Married a

Convict After (.al>oriii|; for Three Vc»ri

to Secure Ills Kelease.

Kansas City. Mo., Feb. 9.?A scion ofa noble Mexican family languishing,unknown, in the Kansas state peniten-tiary for six years for murder done inself-defense: his pardon after threeyears of untiring effort on the part ofthe matron of that institution, andtheir final marriage by a justice of thepeace, culminating in a revelation ofhis identity, are the chapters in a most

remarkable story of real life made pub-lic here yesterday. The principals are

Presciliana L. Corpio, whose late father,

Presciliana Corpio, was a millionaireand ex-postmaster general of Mexico,and Mrs. Mattie U. Peebles, of Dis-patch, Kan., a widow.

In the eighties a young Mexican whogave his name as Camillo Lopez came

to Kansas City with a bunch of cattlefrom Guanajuato, Mex., his home. Howas a handsome, dashing fellow, whodressed well anil spent money freely.In a short time his money was gone.He went to Wichita, Kan., and made a

living as a street vender. One nightafter an unusually good day's businesshe was lured into a resort by a Mrs.Sam Dodsou. Sam Uodson soon ar-

rived on the scene and began makingtrouble for the Mexican. Mrs. Dodsonclaimed in court, later, that Dodsonwas demanding an explanation of theMexican's conduct and the Mexicansaid that Dodson and his wife hadtried to rob him. At any rate Lopeistabbed Dodson to death with a knife.Lopez could not talk English and hedid not know how togo about makinga defense. The court assigned him auattorney and he was convicted of mur-

der. .ludge Christopher Reed sen-

tenced him to 30 years in the peniten-tiary.

At the penitentiary Lopez learned totalk English fluently. He worked at

the tailor trade, but was sent into thelibrary frequently and there becameacquainted with the matron. Mrs. Mat-tie U. Peebles. The matron became in-terested in the Mexican and, as theyafter worked together, she learned hisstory.

Feeling positive that Lopez was in-nocent, Mrs. Peebles set about toprovtit to the governor. She visited Wichitaand gathered facts to show that thekillingof Dodson was done in self-de-fense. Then she obtained the signa-tures of prominent men to a petitionfor his release. It was three years agothis month that Mrs. Peebles began to

interest herself in Lopez's behalf andon January 19, 1398, he was pardonedby (iov. Leedy.

In the meantime Mattie Peebles hadleft the penitentiary and was livingwith a grown son and daughter nearDispatch, Kan. Both of her childrenhave recently married. When Lopezwas freed he wrote her a letter. It re-

sulted in bringing Mrs. Peebles to

Kansas City and they were married byJudge Ebert. They have gone to Mex-ico on a wedding trip.

covered Another (juldensuppe Case?AGhastly Find lu the Kast Kiver.New Y'ork, Feb. 9.?The mutilated

body of a man without a stitch ofclothing on it was found in the Eastriver Tuesday. Half of the head wasmissing, the right leg was cut off atthe knee, and both arms were gone,having been cut off close to the shoul-der. The police believe that anothermurder mystery of a similar characterto the < Juldensuppe case has been un-earthed. The man had apparentlybeen strangled to death, stabbed withsome sharp instrument and then cut topieces.

Zola, growing out of his denunciationof the Esterhazy court-martial,MadameDreyfus was called as a witness yes-terday, but wh/en Zola's lawyer askedher to tell under what circumstancesshe was told by Maj. Du Clam, in 1894,of her husband's arrest, the judge de-cided against the question being answercd. holding that no question notpertaining to the indictment could hianswered. Ex-President Casimir Per-ier, M. Le Itlois and Scheurer Kestnergave testimony, but nothing startlingwas developed. Zola came near beingmobbed after the trial.

Madrid, Feb. 11. ?At a meeting ofthe Spanish cabinet held Thursday un-

?ler the presidency of the queen regent,

the minister for foreign affairs. Senorliuiion, read a dispatch from Senor DeLome, the Spanish minister at Wash-ington, saying that the published let-ter to Senor ('analejas was written byhim and that his position had become

i untenable and he begged the govern-ment to accept his resignation. Thecabinet decided to accept the resigna-tion of Senor De Lome and the minis-ters decided to telegraph to Senor DeLome, accepting his resignation andentrusting the first secretary with theconduct of the affairsof the legation.

Washington, Feb. 11.?The state de-partment yesterday gave out for pub-lication the substance of the cable-gram sent Wednesday to Gen. Wood-ford. our minister to Madrid, in refer-ence to the De Lome letter. The state-ment is as follows:

"There has appeared in the pressa letter addressed by the Spanish min-ister to Mr. Canalejas. This letter theminister admits was written by him.It contains expressions concerning thepresident of the United States of suchcharacter as to end the minister's use-fulness as a representative of his gov-ernment in this country. (Jen. Wood-ford, therefore, was instructed at onceto say to the minister of state that theimmediate recall of M. Dupuy De Lome

i is expected by the president."In view of the news from Madrid of

the acceptance of the resignation of

the Spanish minister, it may be statedthat our government is not disposedto split hairs over the method of theoffending minister's retirement. In

i other words, it is not concerned as towhether he resigns or is recalled, solong as he leaves the capital.

It is said at the state departmenti that there is no time limit withini which Mr. De Lome must leave Wash-

ington.and being now only a private. Spanish citizen he may take a reason-

i able time to arrange his affairs herei without calling for criticism,

i When inquiries were made at theI Spanish legation as to how the letter

reached the hands of the Cuban junta,it was said that the statements madeby the junta as to Canalejas receivingthe letter were false. Private inquiries,it was stated, had been made througha New York gentleman which had dis-closed that Canalejas never saw theletter. This inquiry was sent by cabledirect to Canalejas, now at Madrid, andhe was asked if he had ever receiveda letter of the character described.

To this Canalejas answered that henever received the letter ami knewnothing of its contents; that if he hadreceived it he would have made an an-

i swer to the letter. There has neverbeen an acknowledgement ofan answer

i from Canalejas. After this statement1 direct from Canalejas the Spanish au-thorities regard it as plain that theletter was stolen in transit.

"If I am guilty 112 deserve death?thejought to hang me as high as <lilroy'skite. If lam innocent, I am entitledto my liberty. Luetgert is as innocentof the crime charged against him asany man in Chicago. There should havebeen no half-way verdict in this case.''

CAMERON COUNTY TRESvS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1898.

DRAWS A GLOOMY PICTURE.An Army Officer Telia of Conditions Kilat-

liilC In the Cold Keglon* of Alaaka.Washington, Feb. 12. ?The war de-

partment has made public the advicesreceived from Capt. Kay. of the Eigh-teenth infantry, who was sent toAlaska to report on conditions in themining country. The report embracesu period from October '?'> to Novemberand is dated from Circle City anil Fort

ukon. The report shows a seriousstate of affairs: that trouble is threat-ened at various places and that there:s serious danger at some points of lackof f.-od, owing to the failure of thetransportation companies to get insufficient supplies. Capt. Kay recom-mends the establishment of a post uponthe upper river, and that the mouth ofMission or American creek be chosenas the site, with a sub-post if necessaryat Circle City. On the food questionhe says:

"The question of food here is a veryserious one and the action of the N. A.T. and T. Co. is causing much friction.I try to reconcile all differences peace-ably and get all people who are with-out provisions down to Fort Yukon assoon as possible, where there is anabundance of food. I learn that whilefood is scarce in Dawson City, the min-ers in the outlying camps are fairlywell supplied. While the situation iscritical, I do not believe there will beany great loss of life ?>eyond that inci-dent to a climate so rigorous as this.That there will be much sufferingalong the river and the trail no onehere will deny, but there is nothingthat should cause undue anxiety amongpeople in the states who have friendsin this country."

"While here I am constantly beingappealed to to act where 1 have noauthority. I can only act as an arbi-trator in the cause of peace. Appealscome to me to know when, if ever,the government is going to send inofficials to enforce the law. Minerscomplain that they cannot perfect anytitle to their mines, owing to the ab-sence of any land office. The depart-ments are sending out commissions tocommissioners, receivers and registerswho cannot qualifyfor obvious reasons,the principal one being that there isno official qualified to administer anoath within a thousand miles of thisplace. A commissioner is powerless,as he has no power to enforce his de-cisions. lam only surprised that mat-ters are not worse."

"I am satisfied that the greater partof the gold belt lies in our territory,along the range known as the UpperRamparts. Along the Tananali. Ma-nook creek, llircli creek and the headof Forty Mile creek there are diggingsthat will pay from $lO to S2O per dayper man now lying idle, as they willnot pay expenses at the present pricesof food. lam satisfied that with ade-quate means of transportation andcheaper food this will develop into oneof the greatest gold producing regionsin the world."

THE INCIDENT IS CLOSED.Our Government >Vlll Not Demand an

Apology from Spain llecauae of the De

l.ome l.etter?The Latter WillSoon LeaveTills Country.

Washington, Feb. 12.?The followingstatement was given out at the statedepartment Friday: "Oen. Woodfordtelegraphed that the minister's resig-nation had heen accepted before he

presented the telegram from the de-partment. He adds that the first sec-retary at Washington will be placed incharge of the legation and a new min-ister will be appointed at once."

The personal incident growing outof the publication of De Lome's letterto Canalejas may be regarded as set-tled. This has been brought about bythe foregoing cablegram sent by Min-ister Woodford. The officials here feelan interest in learning the detail*ofthe happenings in Madrid on Thurs-day and are waiting for Mr. Woodford'spromised full report. Hut unless thisshould contain some statement that isnot now expected, there is no disposi-tion on the part of the government toprotract the closing of this unpleasantincident, and it is not expected thatanything in the nature of a demandfor an apology will be made. If agraceful disclaimer should come itwill be taken in the spirit in which itis made, the De Lome matter will bedropped and the relations between thestate department and Spanish legationwill run smoothly once more throughthe medium of Senor Du Kosc. It canbe said for the president that he showslittle personal concern in the matterand is not disposed to pursue Mr. DeLome in any personal spirit.

As the representative of Spain, SenorDon Juan Du Kosc called Friday at the

?state department and presented inwriting the notification of the Spanishgovernment that the resignation ofSenor De Lome had been accepted, andthat Senor Du Kosc was authorized torepresent his government as charged'affairs ad interim. The notificationwas purely formal, giving the facts oftransfer, without mention of the inci-dent leading up to it. Having assumedhis duties, Mr. Du Kosc paid a call ofrespect to the state department au-thorities. He was not accompanied bySenor De Lome, who with this officialact hOQpmes a private citizen of Spaintemporarily sojourning in this country.

After leaving this country the futureplans of Mr. De Lome are not fixed. Hewould prefer not togo to Madrid, andunless the government commands himtogo to the capital he probably willvisit some other place and then gotohis large estate near Valencia.

N.ivel I'lan of Currency Kevlaion.Chicago, Feb. 12.?A novel sugges-

tion for obtaining a national basis ofcompromise between advocates of thegold standard and their opponents isadvanced by W. S. Harbert, of thiscity. The plan is for a circulating me-dium consisting of coin certificates,payable half in gold and half in silver?a $2 certificate for example to be re-deemed by SI in gold and -Si in silver..If the relative value of one metalshould diminish, the valueof the other,

to Mr. Harbert. .vould rela-tively increase and the value of thecertificates payable in both metalsjointly would be unaffected.

OHIO REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

Ita Annual Convention tvaa Turbulent anilKxcitlnjf Kecognltion of Ctilian Inde-

pendence Demanded ltuahiiell Kulo-gized.Columbus. <>., Feb. 12.?The Ohio Re-

publican League convention, which washeld in this city Friday, was one of thestormiest in tiie history of the league.About 200 delegates, representing 72clubs, were in attendance. The fac-tional feeling which marked the latesenatorial contest cropped out. Therewere strenuous efforts to restore har-mony. however, both the retiring pres-ident and the president-elect advisingthe numbers of the league to lay asidefactional differences. Senator Forakerin his telegram to the Ittague also madea plea for harmony. The Foraker andKushnell element wore dominant inthe convention, however, and carriedall their points.

Trouble was started early in theproceedings. President John J. Sul-livan, in his opening address to theconvention, referred to the great serv-

ice which had been rendered the partyin the last campaign by Gov. Kushnell,Senator Hanna and Lieut. Gov. Jones.Hon. Clay Drinkle, of Lancaster, criti-cised Mr. Sullivan's omission of Sena-

tor Foraker's name quite sharply, say-ing that one would not infer from Mr.Sullivan's speech that Ohio had asenior senator.

While there was a contest on someof the officers, the big tight of the con-

vention was on the resolutions. Thechairman of the committee on resolu-tions was Charles Oriffin, of Toledo,and he drafted the report presented tothe convention. The last three sectionsof the report precipitated the tight, ledby A. S. Kickham, of Dayton. Despitethe opposition, however, the originalresolutions were adopted with the fol-

lowingaddition: "We send greetingsto President McKinley and SenatorsHanna and Foraker and assure themof our heartiest support."

The sections objected to by the Mc-Kinley and Hanna adherents are as

follows:Wo indorse the Cnban resolution Introduced

and discussed February by Senator Mason inthe United States senate and hope that it willbe promptly approved by the committee onforeign affairs. passed by the senate, and ener-getically carried into effect by our honoredpresident, to the end that Cuban independtneemay quickly become an accomplished ftctwithout being loaded down by an iniquitousbonded debt.

We cordially indorse every department ofour state administration, particularly that ofour beloved, level-headed and efficient gover-nor. Gen. Asa S- Bushnel!

We indorse and approve the energetic andefficient efforts undertaken by Attorney Gen-eral Monnett and the state senate to uncoverand destroy unlawful and hurtful trusts, syn-dicates and combinations. We hope such effortwillcontinue until all such hurtful trusts andcombinations are uncovered and destroyed andthat the general assembly will supplementsuch efforts by appropriate legislation.

The following officers were elected:President, W. E. Kundy, Cincinnati.

Vice presidents, John F. Golden-bogen, Cleveland; George W. Playford,Zanesvillc; Charles E. Gordon, Toledo,

and John J. Williams. Portsmouth.Secretary. George T. Crawford, Co-

The 11th annual Lincoln day banquetof the Ohio Republican league washeld at the Chittenden hotel last night.Itwas not as large as previous gather-ings of the kind.

ESTERHAZY'S GUILT.

It Appears to Have Keen Proven by the

Testimony of Col. I'icquart in the Zola

Trial.Paris, Feb. 12. ?In the Zola trial Fri-

day, Col. I'icquart testified that a tele-gram addressed to Count Esterhazy fellinto his hands in May, 1896. This tele-gram was of a gravely compromisingcharacter and led him and other officersto investigate further. Comparison ofthe handwriting of Esterhazy with theoriginal bordereau which convictedDreyfus, he said, convinced him thatthe bordereau was from the hand ofEsterhazy. Investigation of Ester-hazy's correspondence confirmed thisconclusion.

Witness secured positive evidencethat this had been done and then,while making further inquiries, lie wasastonished by the publication of thebordereau in the Eclair. At this pointthe noise in the court room became sogreat that policemen had to clearthe hull. After the interruption of thesitting. Col. I'icquart said: "The in-terest of my chiefs suddenly slackened,and I was sent away on a secret officialmission. This was after I had per-sisted in pursuing the investigation,despite the discouragements and thechanged attitude of my superiors."
