THIRTEEN PEOPLE DIED FOR THE
REVENGE OF ONE.
CHOSE OF NEW YORK’S LATEST FIRE
■ Destruction of Andrews’ and Adams’
Residences Fired to Kncomimss the
Death of Hervant.
A New York special says: Despite
•reticence on the part of the police,
facts became publio Saturday which
make it appear that the fire which last
Friday destroyed thirteen persons was
of incendiary origin. It transpired
that a few hours before the flames were
seen a policeman wus sent for from the
Andrews house, .and was mysteriously
dismissed by a servant, who said he
■was not wanted.
Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of
Mrs. St. John were found. It is be
lieved that the motive for incendiarism
was revenge, and that the affair arose
out of a quarrel between the servants.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews fam
ily, is under surveillance, and the
police are hard at work investigating
the clews, which chiefly rest upon the
anonymous letters.
Mary Flanuagan, the dead maid
servant, seems to have been a central
figure in this alleged plot, and the
chief object of the supposed perpe
trator’s hate., The police have given
out three scurrilous, threatening an
onymous letters which had been sent
to members of the Andrews house
hold. One was addressed to the serv
ant, Mary Flannagau.
The letters made charges against
Mary Flannagan and the butler. In a
letter addressed to Mrs. St. John, the
writer said:
“I hope you and Mrs. Andrews
don’t think for one moment that I am
reconciled with Mary Flannagan, for,
indeed, I am not, and what is further, I
will not be until I get my revenge. I
feel that I have given warning enough,
and I am going to fix her life, and be
cause you and Mrs. Andrews did not
give heed to warning, I am going to
fix you too. I am going to make
some one thro.w something in your
nurse’s and children’s faces that will
disfigure them and eat all the flesh off
the bones. This I will do for spite,
because you did not let Mary go—as I
told you to do. You bad just as well
let her go first as last. You will have
no girl alive when I get through with
her.”
Funeral of the Victims.
The funeral services over the re
mains of the members of the family of
Wallace C. Andrews and G. C. St.
John, who perished in the terrible
fire, were held at the Fifth avenue
home of the Andrews family Sunday
afternoon.
None but tbe very intimate friends
and relatives of the family were in at
tendance. The funeral oration was
delivered by Professor Felix Adler, of
the Ethical Culture Society.
There were no ceremonies save the
ovation delivered by Professor Adler.
Nor was there any music. All was
plain and simple, in accordance with
the wishes of Mr. St. John.
The pallbearers were: Russell Sage,
Gen. Burnett, Colonel Robert G. In
gersoll, James W. Hawes, W. J. Hitch
cock, 0. E. Orvis, Mr. Williams, Sen
ator T. C. Platt, Horace A. Hutchins
and H. S. Ford.

Admiral Saya He Won’t ISc a Candidate
l f or the Presidency.
Admiral Dewey has given to the Ma
nila correspondent of Leslie’s Weekly
an interview regarding the suggestion
that the admiral be made a candidate
for the presidency Dext year. The
admiral said, as to his politics:
“I am a sailor. A sailor has no pol
itics. The administration is his party,
and republican or democrat, it makes
no difference. Then, again, I come
from Vermont, and you know what
that means. To be anything but a re
publican in Vermont is to be a man
without a party. My flag lieutenant
comes from Georgia. He tells me that
to be anything but a democrat in the
south is to be a nobody. If I lived
south I would probably be a demo
crat.”
“Have you ever voted?” the corres
pondent asked.
“Yes, years ago, but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditions. I am not a
politician, have never held political
office, and am totally ignorant of party
intricacies and affiliations.”
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. Ha said that he was too
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad
mit it. All his life’s work was in dif
ferent lines of effort, and that, while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him, and the
generous tributes of the American peo
ple were dear to him, he could not and
would not be a candidate for the pres
idency of the United States under any
conditions.
THE L. – N. WINS.
Georgia Railroad Reas© Litigation Set
tled By Judge Pardee.
An Atlanta dispatch says: There is
no longer any question about the fu
ture control of the Georgia railroad.
Judge Don A. Pardee settled that Sat
urday by a decree which vested all
title to the lease of the Georgia road
in the Louisville and Nashville rail
road.
By the same action the court en
joined the Central of Georgia from
ever hereafter asserting any claim to
the lease, thus disposing of a long
litigation. f
Twenty some odd years ago, when
William Wadley leased the Georgia
railroad, he did not dream that the
Louisville and Nashville would ever
get complete control of the road. He
was then president of the Central
Railrord and Banking Company, and
after leasing the Georgia as an indi
vidual, he made another lease to the
Central and the Louisville and Nash
ville as joint lessees. Each company
was to have equal voice in selecting
the officers of the Georgia road.
For years the Georgia w-as operated
as a neutral line. When the Central
railroad went into a receivership it
failed more than once to put up its
proportion of the deficit in the rental.
The Louisville and Nashville made the
rental good to the stockholders to pre
vent the lease being annulled.
When the Central’s properties and
assets were put up for sale, the old
company’s half interest in the lease of
the Georgia l'oad was bought in by
Messrs. Thomas and Ryan, who were
conducting the reorganization.
About two years ago the Central
Railway Company made a claim upon
the Louisville and Nashville for a half
interest in the lease of the Georgia.
The claim was denied by tlie Louisville
and Nashville. Then Messrs. Thomas
and Ryan asserted their claim, de
claring that they had bought the old
Central’s half interest in the lease.
The matter was carried to the courts
for adjudication.
TENNESSEE JUDGES SKIP OUT.
They 'Will Test Action of Assembly In
Ousting Them.
Some strange developments seem to
be following the action of the Tenues
see general assembly on the judicial
redistricting bill.
Judge T. A. R. Nelson, of the Knox
county criminal court, and District
Attorney Fred Mynatt have, it is
stated, left the state in order to avoid
service of notice that their offices are
to be vacated,
It is said that a number of other
judges affected by the bill have taken
the same course, and are where the
sergeant-at-arms cannot reach them.
Where this will leave the legislature
is problematical.

AN INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT.
Arbitrary Actions of General Torres In
Levying Double Duties Causes
Vigorous Protest,
A letter to The New Orleans Pica
yune from Bluefields, Nicaragua,
dated March 21st, says that Gen
eral Torres, the special agent of
President Zelaya, has again noti
fied the merchants they would have
but twenty-four hours to pay the
duties again, which had been already
paid to the treasurer of Nicaragua,
who served after the revolution began.
Torres also undertook to prohibit
the American consular agent from
cabling to Washington or the presi
dent of Nicaragua at Managua.
He is in charge of telegraph wires
which lead to both the capital and to
San Juan del Sur, the cable station.
The American consul, after discov
ering that it would be impossible to
secure satisfactory information from
Torres, withdrew with the American
merchants, who accompanied him to
the palace. also declined
At this meeting Torres
to state what steps will be taken to
force the American merchants to sub
mit to double charges.
A vessel was chartered promptly,
and after considerable difficulty a
clearance was secured from Torres
and this vessel sailed for Port Limon,
Costa Bica, with dispatches for the
government. dispatches,
The consul, iu these
asks that at least two warships be sent
to Bluefields at once.
The next move Torres made was to
issue a decree doubling the duties,
notwithstanding the fact that the
schedule of duties for this section of
the republic have been fixed by a law
passed by congress. This law has
never been amended or repealed.

at the urgent request of the state de
partment, to which American residents
both in Bluefields and in Costa Rica
have appealed for protection of Amer

tortionate policy adopted by General
Torres at Bluefields, who on more
than one occasion has made himself
persona non grata to this gov
ernment and whose restoration to
has been followed by the acts
which power at this time Amer
ican residents resent and protest
against, is the main cause of the ves
sel’s dispatch.
The state department at the same
time has cabled instructions to the
United States diplomatic representa
tive at Bluefields to lodge an energetic
protest witli th'e Nicaraguan govern
ment against the action of General
Torres and a disregard of this protest
will be followed up by a more positive
step on the part of this government.
In Costa Rica the American business
interests and residents are in trouble
as a vesutt of au insurrectionary move

surgents are levying forced loans on
them, besides collecting exorbitant
and double duties on its ports.

A dispatch of Wednesday from Ha

Tuesday night, does not cause any
particular comment upon Cubans or

been discounted two weeks ago.
The American military authorities,
while pleased that an obstacle to the
disposal of the Cuban army lias been
removed, had been preparing to dis
tribute the $3,000,000 with the aid of
the assembly’s roil, by causing to be
drawn up dr.plicate rolls.
In this work the provisional gover
nors were co-operating with the Cu
ban commanders in their provinces.
In addition, the assembly’s rolls are
being verified and corrected by inde
pendent inquiries, a task that may last
another month. In spite of this, the
distribution of money to the Cuban
soldiers will possibly begin in the
vicinity of Havana within a fortnight.
The general rules controlling the
distribution are to exclude all men
who have enlisted since July 17, 1898,
and to exclude former soldiers now j

When Admiral Kautz arrived on the
p hila(le lphi» ho spent two days in
making i nqu i r i es and then called a
meeting of all the consuls and the
senior officers of all the warships in
the harbor.
As a result of the meeting a procla
mation was issued by the American
admiral declaring that the so-called
provisional government under Mataafa
can have no legal status under the
Berlin treaty, and therefore cannot b«
recognized by the consular and naval
representatives, and ordering Mataafa
and bis supporters to quietly go to
their homes and respect the laws of the
Berlin treaty.
It was further ordered that the peo
ple ejected from their homes be re
turned and the power of the naval
force, it was stated, would be used
against all who disregarded the rights
of peaceably disposed people.
The authority of the chief justice
was upheld by the proclamation, and
the admiral closed by saying that be
trusts that there may be no occasion
to use military powers. The procla
mation was signed by Admiral Kautz.
This proclamation was taken to Ma
taafa and read to him by Flag Lieu
tenant Miller. It was received in
silence and no answer was made. Ma
tnaffi and bis chiefs quietly left and
went to the western portion of the
municipality, and it seemed as if they
were about to obey the commands to
return to their homes.
The German consul, however,issued
a counter proclamation in the Samoan
language, which was distributed
among the Mataafans. The proela
mation read as follows:
Notion to All Samoan*.
By the proclamation of the admiral
of the United States dated March 21st,
it was made known that the consuls
for the signatory powers of the Berlin
treaty as well as the three command
ers of men of war had been unanimous
to no mofe recognize the Mataafa provisional
gevernment composed of and
thirteen chiefs.
I, therefore, make bnow^p to you
that this proclamation is quite false.
I am the German consul general, T
continue to recognize the provisional
government of Somoa until I have re
ceived contrary instructions from my
government. (Signed) Rosk,
German Consul General.
The immediate result of this act
was that the rebels turned back and
prepared for war, declairing that they
would not obey the admiral’s order
and would prevent any food supplies
from being brought in Samoa for the
Malietoa natives.
Hostilities commenced on Tuesday
afternodn when half a dozen Malietoa
j men were taken by the Mataafans.
They were taken to headquarters and

AN EXPERT ON FA.RM CONDITIONS.
Ke Saya Farm Investment Paid Better 4f
Years Ago Than To-Day,
The Industrial Commissi on gave a
hearing recently In Washington on
farm conditions, the principal witnoss
being Assistant Secretary Bingham ot
the Agricultural Department. Mr.
Brigham said that he had been con
nected with the Grange movement
nearly twenty years, and as master ot
the National Grange for nine years
had traveled over the country consid
erably. The number of men employed
on farms was about the same, he said,
as lifty years ago. The tendency, how
ever, was toward shorter hours and
lighter work, and in general the condi
tion and wages of the farm hands had
improved. Tills was largely due to the
use of machinery and Improved meth
ods, and not organization of labor. The
system of crop sharing, he said, was
increasing, and would, he thought,
largely supplant that ©f hiring men for
wages.
Mr. Briglmm favored the teaching of
the elementary principles of agricult
ure in the public schools, as arousing
the interest of the hoys- in that branch
would tend to keep them on the farm
and away from the cities. The money
invested in farms, farm implements
and stock in the United States repre
sented, he said, about $1,500,000,000.
Farm investments paid higher rates of
interest forty years ago than to-day.
Some reasons for the decrease were
the appreciation of land values and
higher wages for labor. The net profits
of farming, taking an average for the
whole country, he thought would not
exceed more than two or three per cent.
Farmers, he said, paid too great a pro
portion of the taxes, one reason being
that their property could not be con
cealed from the asssessors as can some
other classes of property.
Sphinx and Man.
Now, for the first time, a photograph
of the Sphinx with one man standing
on top of it and another half way up
the front, has been taken, showing at
a glance the tremendousness of this
monument which is more than six
thousand years old. Figures give so
poor an idea of size that they hardly
convey anything to the mind. Close
your eyes and try to imagine a figure
sixty-five feet high, ami its body a
hundred and eighty-nine feet long;
each ear is two yards wide, the nose
is five feet long, the mouth is seven
feet wide, large enough to swallow a
six-footer if it were opened, and the
distance across the face from one
cheek to another is fourteen feet.
If a five-story fiat house were built
by the side of the Sphinx the top of the
house would be below the crown of ita
head. Yet this wonderful statue was
cut out of the living rock as long ago
as 4,000 years B. C. There must have
been some great artists in that day
to think of so big a work, which has
never been since equaled.
The meaning of the Sphinx is one of
the hardest problems of scholars. Some
say it is the statue of some old Egyp
tian god, others that it is a symbol oi
the rising sun, but the most, probable
explanation is that the Sphinx is the
statue of some one of the Pharaohs of
old Egypt. Its head is that of a man,
and the body of the lion was only a
symbol of the power of the mighty
king who had it hewn. There are any
number of Sphinxes in Egypt, but this
'one is the largest and finest of them
all.
