THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1901. THREE LIVES LOST Fire in a Boston Newspaper Building. PROOFREADERS THE VICTIMS Upper Floors of the Advertiser Of fice Burned Ont Most of the Em ployes Escaped to as Adjoin ing? Roof. BOSTON, March A5. Three lives sacri ficed, nearly a dozen men more or less Injured, and many thousands of dollars of damage -were the results of a fire In the Dally Advertiser and Record's seven story, gray front building1 In Newspaper How tonight. The dead are: James Richardson, Sr., proofreader, of Boston. Judson Craft, proofreader, of Cambridge. Walter Luscombe, proofreader, of Sa lem, Mass. How the Are started is not known, but it was first seen in the pressroom. It spread to-the elevator well, and darted to the top so rapidly that before the pccupants of the two upper floors were aware that the building was on fire their rooms were filled with flames and smoke. In the editorial rooms on the sixth floor there were but Ave men. All had to run for their lives. On the upper floor, oc cupied by the composing-room, were 18 composers and proofreaders, whose slt nation was most critical. Panic stricken,, they rushed for the windows leading to the Are escapes, and all but three of them succeeded In gaining the roof of an ad joining building. Long ladders were raised as quickly as the network of electric wires over the street would permit, but before a ladder could be placed in posi tion the men had dropped through a sky light in the adjoining roof and reached places of safety. Except in the pressroom in the basement there was practically no fire in the building below the fifth story. No one was in the pressroom at the time the fire started except the fireman, who had not been seen up to a late hour. It took three hours of work to drown out the fire. The three victims were suffocated be fore they had time to reach the fire es capes. Late tonight the loss was estimated at 5150,000, with little insurance. A RAILWAY MUSEUM. "Where an English Company Keeps Its Collection of Criminal "Relics. TJtBits. "This bomb" pointing to an exceeding ly formidable-looking missile of the Or Elnl type "was found underneath (he seat of a railway carriage in a London and Edinburgh express. On being opened It "was found to contain nothing more dead ly than a copy of a weekly periodical. The proprietors of the journal in ques tion were just then offering a prize to the competitor who should best adver tise It, and a couple of very fooollsh read ers Inclosed copies In bombs and left them lying about in various public places." Thus spoke to the writer, one day re cently, the curator of the "Black Mu seum" attached to the Midland Railway Company's offices at Derby. Relics of some of the most startling and sensational railway tragedies of mod ern times are here enshrined, as well as quite a large collection of those even more Interesting because more mysteri ous ones, which have to do with at tempted crimes, concerning which the general public has never heard. For lustance, a simple-looking bundle of parti-colored flags, of the regulation size uid color used by railway signal men, was captured one Summer! evening, after a desperate struggle, from a mys terious American, who was found loiter ing on the mafn line far from station or signal-box. He was let go free by the magistrate before whom he was brought, as nothing definite could be proved against him; but the railway authorities have a grim theory that he belonged to a gang of transatlantic train robbers, who contemplated "flagging" the northbound express, and "holdlng-up" the passengers In true "Wild West" style. Another queer exhibit is a fowling piece of elegant design, captured from a man who one night in Midwinter Invaded a lonely signal-box at a remote junction and invited the occupant to throw up his hands. The desperado himself es caped, and to this day the railway po lice are at a loss as to the exact mo tive which inspired his act. That it was something sinister, however, they enter tain not the slightest shadow of a doubt. A dainty little revolver, Ivory-handled and gold-mounted, was found on the body of an unknown lady, who not long slnca committed suicide in a first-class railway carriage near Scarborough, on what should have been her wedding morning. Another mysterious railway-carriage tragedy, one which was the talk of Eng land for days, is recalled by a pair of lady's kid gloves about which there still lingers the faint, sweet odor of stepha notis and a long-bladed, stiletto-llke knife. A fragment of ordinary mottled soap, reposing upon a worn and rusty pocket- book. Is reminiscent of the career of Tomllnson, the would-be trainwrecker, whose exploits caused something very like a panic among the company's serv ants in the Autumn of 1898. Four separate and determined attempts at derailing trains took place within a week. In the vicinity, respectively, of Northampton (two), Peterborough and Bedford. The latter it was that proved the miscreant's undoing. A man was seen washing Iron rust off his hands near the place where the train dashed into the obstruction, and on Tomllnson's ar rest on suspicion, some days afterward, a cake of soap was found on him stained with Iron rust Also, concealed In the lining of his greatcoat was the pocket book in question, wherein were noted down the exact times of arrival of the trains upon which the attempts had been made at the points where the obstruc tions had been placed. That piece of soap and that pocketbook sufficed to send their owner Into penal servitude for 20 years. The robbery of railway trucks in tran sit, and when left temporarily unguarded In sidings, has of late years been re duced to something very like a science among tiie peculiar brand of professional criminals who. make a specialty of this class of, work, and very varied and in teresting is the collection of tools which has been accumulated at the expense of the fraternity. One specimen is shown, for instance, -which might be described as a regular truck-robber's vade mecum, comprising as it does in one Instrument a jemmy, wrench, saw, screwdriver, gimlet, wedge, center bit and pincers. Other single jemmies there are, made to unscrew Into several parts, so as to be conveniently stowed away about the person, and side by side with these lat ter are several queer-looking lengths of rubber tubing and metal siphons, used by wine and spirit thieves for tapping the contents of casks. Hundreds of gallons of costly liquor are often -abstracted while in transit, by the aid of these pieces of apparatus, by or ganized gangs of clever rascals, some of whom even go so far as to don complete suits of uniform similar to that worn by the company's servants, in order the better to Vrosecute their nefarious call ing. The highest class of railway depredator and the mist difficult to circumvent Is the professional forger of waybills. There are, ki the Derby museum, innocent-looking bits of yellow paper by means of witch property to the value of thousands ot pounds has been been stolen. Printing, entries and signatures are all forged but so cleverly as to de ceive in some, instances even the very clerks who made out the original and genuine documents and the ofllclals who signed them. Then there ae also piles on piles of forged tickets tsed mostly by low-class betting men onblg race days notes on the Bank of Enrravlng, and bad money of every .kind. Afed in a separate depart ment Is the "Rjgues" Gallery," where ranged along the" walls are the portraits of -pretty well all the known criminals who make a specialty of railway "busi ness." ', These portraits arep rinted by the gross and copies exchanged, not Only with the chiefs of the detective departments of all English railways, but with most of those on the Continent and in America. So that a railway "cbok," once arrested and photographed, stands little chance of escaping identification captured In the future, no matter whre he may choose to renew his depredaons. POOR ROBINSON. Has "Marled Into theXa-ry" But Is Still Obscure. Chicago Chronicle. M.rs. John P. Robinson, daughter of the late Admiral Tompkins, V S. N. White satin veiled in silver-spangled net; dia monds. , Such was the paragraph the names being changed which appealed in the list of costumes at the Inaugural ball last Monday night. Let us stuy it a mo ment. These costume description! are writ ten by the wearers, who also write their names on the cards distributed for that purpose by the journalistic Jenkinses who perform the duty, technlcilly known as "doing society." Hence, it was Mrs. John P. Robinson herself who added the designation "daughter of Admiral Tomp kins" to her name. In other words, Mrs. Robinson prefers to be known as the daughter of her father rather than as the mere wife of her hus band. The fact constitutes evlQence of the growth of this country of due appre ciation of those "social advantages" so highly prized by Rear-Admiral William T. Sampson. Isn't it rather pitiful? Somewhere In the background there is a Mr. John P. Robinson. Very likely he hasn't hid any "social advantages" at all. Probably he Is in the wholesale grocery line or in hides or soap or shoe findings. We can imagine John P. Robinson working hard and late that his wife may shine at the Inaugural ball In "white satin veiled in silver-spangled net; diamonds." It is safe to say that John P. Robinson, like most other Americans, is an honest, hearty, unaffected fellow who loves and cherishes his wife and tries to make her happy. Tet when Jenkins came around with his costume card to be filled out, Mrs. John P. Robinson is not content to appear In the society column as the mere wife f honest John plebean John, who has pinched himself to furnish forth the funds for the court costume. She must advist the reading public of her early "social ad vantages." John P. Robinson is very well as a person for everyday use as a payer of bills and a provider of pin money but papa was an Admiral. It Is necessary that the world should know it. It Is proper that people should realize that, though she is married to a commoner, she is of the nobility. Unhappy Robinson! He Ib doomed to the fate of the untitled Englishman who marries Into the nobility. In England It would be "Mr. John P. Robinson and Lady Gwendolen Robinson," and Robin son would go down to dinner several couples behind his wife. In this country it is "John P. Robinson and the daughter of Admiral Tompkins." Robinson Is known if his wife can manage it that way as the man who married into our naval nobility. He has no personality of his own. Such is the Idea of "social advantages" in a democracy which is only a century and a quarter old. It took Rome five times as long to reach our advanced position. Poor Robinson!

One day about the year 1S18, George Crulckshank was passing Newgate on his way to the Exchange, when, seeing a crowd collected, he went forward to learn what was the matter, and saw that it was the execution of several men and women. He was horrified at the spectacle, and on .inquiring, learned that the woman was being hanged for passing counterfeit 1 notes. He learned also that this punish ment was quite a common thing, even though the poor wretches often sinned in ignorance, being the dupes of men vrho sent them to buy some trifle and return the change to them. Crulkshank went home, and immediately, under the inspir ation of his feeling, sketched a grotesque caricature of a bank note. He called it a bank restriction note not to be imitated. He represents on it a place of execution, with the spaces about filled in with halt ers and manacles, a figure of 4Britannia devouring her children, and transport ships bearing the lucky or unlucky ones who had escaped death to Van Dlemen's Land, or Australia,- while in place of the well-known signature of Abraham New land Is that of "J. Ketch." He had just finished tnis, when his pub lisher. Hone, entered, and, seeing it, begged to have it for publication. So Crulkshank etched It, and gave it to Hone, who exhibited it for sale In his window with startling effect. Crowds quickly be gan to gather and purchased so eagerly that the issue was soon exhausted. Crulkshank was kept hard at work mak ing more etchings, the crowds grew so great that the street was blocked, and the Mayor had to send soldiers to clear It. Hone realized over 700 in a few days. Patting Wires Underground. CHICAGO, March 1.5-The Times-Herald says: "An experiment Is -to be made within a few weeks, which it is thought, will be the beginning of the end of over head wires throughout the city. The downtown district Is free from overhead wires, but In the other parts of the city are many miles of overhead wires. Five corporations the Western Union, the Pos tal Telegraph, the Chicago Telephone Company, the Chicago Edison Company and the City of Chicago have decided on a plan of action. The meeting of the rep resentatives of the five companies was held in City Electrician Elicott's office. It was resolved to make an experiment In the form of a combination conduit, which is to accommodate all the wires of the five corporations. The city will own the conduit, but the four other corporations will have rights equal to the city, with the exception of positive ownership." Berlin is to have a school for coach men, in which drivers are to be taught to get along in the crowded city streets. THE POWERS DISAGREE VOX BULOWS STATELIEST OX THE CHINESE SITUATIOX. Germany Opposed t Territorial Ex. tension Gnardinfc Her Otto In terests, Xot the British. A BERLIN. March 15. The Imperial Chancellor, Count von Bulow. In a speech In the Reichstag today, admitted that differences of opinion had arisen between the powers in regard to Chinese affairs, but ho hoped they would be overcome. The debate on the supplementary esti mates for China furnished the opportuni ty for the statement. The Chancellor be gan by declaring that the negotiations on the Chinese question were making slow but steady progress. Although it had not been easy to secure an agreement, ow ing to the naturally conflicting interests of the different governments, it had been possible to draw up a reasonable peace programme. The harmony of the powers, thus far, had been preserved, and hope was entertained that the feeling of solid arity among the civilized nations would suffice to overcome the difference of opin ion which had lately become apparent In regard to matters in China. The Chancellor traced the deliberations of the powers, following which negotia tions had been entered upon with China. Referring to the punishments inflicted on the Mandarins as a result of Boxer atroci ties, the Chancellor declared that the powers were not actuated by thirst for blood, but by a desire to make an ex ample of the guilty. To let them go free would have amounted to a charter for similar misdeeds in the future. He sug gested that the mission of Prince Chun to Berlin was agreeable to the Emperor, but it could not occur until China had yielded to the demands of the powers or had given satisfactory assurances that their conditions would be carried out. The question of indemnities, the Chan cellor continued, offered such difficulties as have thus far prevented the draw ing up of a programme acceptable to all the powers. But China had unconditional ly admitted her obligation and had grant ed compensation. Experts had been called in to revise the methods of paying In demnities. They were opposed to the con trol of the whole Chinese state system and regarded the maritime duties, an in crease in which was possible, as the best means of covering the outlay. The Chan cellor alluded to the Anglo-German agree ment, saying Its tendency was to pre serve the integrity of China so long as possible, and to protect German trade there. The agreement did not refer to Manchuria and did not contain secret clauses. Germany recognized that the highly gifted people of Japan had at tained by their intelligence the position of a great power in the far East, and that Germany had been loyally supported by Austria and Italy, as a matter of course, because of the absolutely un shaken continuance of the triple alliance. Count von Bulow continued: "Just as good as our relations with Rus sia and Great Britain arc our relations with the United States, France and Japan. The United States is taking her part zeal ously In the negotiations, and is especially displaying the keenest Interest In the maintenance of China's Integrity. Be tween ourselves and France there Is In China no essential opposition. Our task Is, amid the claims of the different pow ers, to safeguard our neutrality, independ ence and peace, and our great and last ing Interests. All we are anxious for is to restore peaceful conditions in China as soon as possible and retain unimpaired our possessions and trade Interests. We Vish, by our Just and loyal attitude, ,o assuage the existing differences, and,, by the co-operation of others, to attain our cmmon objects and secure suitable com pensation for the costs of the expedition rendered necessary by the outrage upon the law of nations and to maintain the freedom of our trade." In reply to a question aB to how long the German troops would remain In China, Count von Bulow said: "That will depend on China's fulfillment of the conditions which she has accept ed But no longer will promises or the most cheering notes from Li Hung Chang be of any avail. As soon as we receive serious guarantees for the payment of the indemnities, we shall immediately with draw' our troops. It affords us no pleas ure whatever to remain in Chi Li. We shall leave with a sincere and lively desire that we may be spared as long as pos sible from entering It again. We shall not stay a day longer than la required. Until then. Count von Waldersee will fill his post as at present." Herr Richter, the Radical leader, said there was no occasion for Germany to be Great Britain's place-holder and to guard her position In China, so that af ter the South African War, as before, she might continue her course entirely unsympathetic. He would like the Chan cellor to say how the Manchurian agree ment between Russia and China stood Russia was mounted in the saddle, while Germany held the stirrup. He said that German politics in regard to China were proceeding In a blind alley. Count von Stallberg-Wernlgerde, in sup porting the Chancellor, declared that Ger many's Interests nowhere In the world conflicted with Russia's. Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, said there was no need for so many German troops in China. He must protest against providing troops for Great Britain. The most serious developments In China had yet to come. He feared that what had begun in the" East must one day be settled with arms in the West. He shared the Chancellor's wish to get out of China as soon as possible. After several other speeches, the Chan cellor again-spoke. He said: "I again say to Herr Bebel that we support In China simply German inter ests, leavim? the British to guard their own. Richter asks what is the position regarding the Manchurian agreement. That I do not know, nor Is it even known to certain governments which are more concerned In the Manchurian agreement than ourselves. It would, moreover, not have been In accordance with diplomatic usage nor to the advantage of German interests if we had betrayed to the gov ernments concerned too great assurance in this matter. When I learn anything of the agreement's contents, I will commui cate then? to Herr Richter. Minister Mumm von Schwarzensteln has never urged, that we should pursue a policy of annexation in China. Herr Richter said the German people were distrustful of the world's policy. If Herr Richter under stands, by 'world's policy' a tendency to Interfere in matters which do not con cern us, I am a decided opponent of such 'world's policy.' But that we must ad vance our Interests in Eastern Asia is a fact thatihas become historic It was in that sense that I said three months ago that we must have our place In the sun shine. I say today that we will keep that place In the sunshine, and not let our selves be pushed Into the shadow." A proposal of Dr. Bachen, Centrist, to discuss tHe question In committee was rejected, the Center and some Conserva tives voting with the minority. CASTELIiAXE-DE ItODAYS DUEL.

De Rodays seconds, who is co-manager of the Figaro, in an interview koday, declared that the duel will be absolutely private. He said: "I shall not tolerate the presence of a stranger. If otherwise I shall retire from the field, in my opinion it is improper to permit persons attracted by unheal thy curiosity to be present at a duel in which two men are staking their lives." India's Population Stationary. CALCUTTA, March 15. Complete cen sus returns give the population of India as 234,000,000, an Increase in the last de cade of 7,000,000.

His Motion That the Papers Be Laid on the Table "Was Defeated in the Honsc of Lords. LONDON, March 15. The House of Lords was unusually crowded today. In anticipation of the reply of Lord Wol seley to the criticism of Lord Lansdowne. Lord, Wolseley, In his opening remarks, said he regretted being compelled to dis cuss .a personal matter, but he could not pass unchallenged the severe comments of Lord Lansdowne on the manner in which he had performed the duties of Commander-in-Chief. Lord Lansdowne's personalities were evidently premeditated; his Indictments were grave, and it al most seemed as if the personal attack was made in order to divert attention from the question at Issue and throw upon I lue uimuuu-m-vu:i nc """" "" the mistakes made by the government. Until the recent debate, he had never had any reason to suppose that he did not possess the full confidence of Lord Lans downe and the Cabinet. Early in 1900 cir cumstances arose which left him no al ternative but to resign, which he did. If he djd not possess the Cabinet's confi dence, that was an object which might have been used to appoint a new Commander-in-Chief. He refuted the specific charges launched by Lord Lansdowne. He said he had adopted every effort to Improve the auxiliary forces. In Febru ary. 1S96, he recommended that additional troops be sent to South Africa, and rec ommendai strengthening the Natal garri son, and the defensive occupation, not of the town of Ladysmlth, but of the Blggarsberg Range, which was 25 miles In advance of Ladysmlth. He had never considered Ladysmlth and Its surround ing hills to be tenable. Lord Wolseley admitted that, In common with all the other authorities, he had un derestimated the fighting power of the in dividual Boer. Three weeks before Mr. Kruger's declaration of war he had urged Lord Lansdowne to send out an army corps, a cavalry division and five battalions for the lines of communi cation, in addition to the 10,000 troops already m South Africa. Such a compara tively small number of troops employed early had often achieved results which five times their number could not pro duce later. The mobilization of this force at that time would have produced a con siderable effect in South Africa. If the country was not prepared at the outbreak of the war. It was not because he had not urged the gradual and unostentatious re inforcement of the forces. Lord Wolseley concluded: "I have said as little as possible consist ently with any justice to myself. The noble Marquis made strong personal state ments, which were not supported. I have made my reply, which Is also unsupport ed. I cannot, however, leave the matter thus. I feel I am amply Justified In mov ing that all the papers be laid on the table. I am prepared to prove by official documents all I have said." Lord Lansdown, in replying, said he thought Lord Wolseley had hardly com prehended the purport of his former speech when he said it was a personal at tack upon himself. Lord Wolseley could hardly expect that he would not retali ate. Proceeding, Lord Lansdowne ques tioned th' correctness of some of Lord Wolseley's statements. He remUiid the latter how, after the Glencoe disaster, he had suggested that the British should fall back behind the Tugela. If the order had been given earlier, It might have saved one of the most deplored events of the war. Lleutenant-General Sir William Butler had written a private letter to Lord Wolseley, suggesting that 40,000 men might - be necessary for tthe campaign. Lord Lansdowne did not like to excuse himself from underestimating the enemy, but Lord Wolseley should bear his full share. Lord "Wolseley suggested, among other things, the occupation of Delagoa Bay and an appeal to the colonies. Lord Salisbury said he thought It unde sirable that all the papers referred to In the debate should be circulated. He was not aware that any personal charges had been made against Wolseley. Lord Rosebery enumerated Lord Lans downe's charges against Lord Wolseley, and said they were personal In the gen eral judgment of the mass of the House and the men In the street. He alluded to Lord Wolseley's historic career, now closed, and defended the slngle-mlnded-ness of his purpose In seeking to Improve the War Office. Lord Wolseley's motion was rejected by a vote of 62 to 38. Daily Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON, March 15.
