says the Chronicle this morning. When
Interviewed in regard to the matter Ho
Vow said:
"Tea, the minister has been informed
by the foreign office that charges are
on file and has telegraphed me to In
vestigate and learn ' their source.
There are a number tit charge, the
greatest stress being laid on the alle
gation that T am not conducting the
tight against exclusion as aggreasly a
the complainant think Ishould. An
olher charge Is that I am neglecting
my official duties and not protecting
the Interests and welfare of my coun
trymen. We are Informed by the for
eign office that the charges bear, the
Imprint of the Six Companies. I
Informed the companies and they at
once entered a' disclaimer on their
minutes, and that disclaimer will be
forwarded to the minister and by him
to the foreign office. I am Informed
that the signatures and Imprint of the
companies are forgeries. It is quite
possible that the charges emanated
from disgruntled highbinders Incensed
at the efforts to stop their practices."
A prominent member of the Six Com
panies said:
'We were Informed that the charges
comprised 18 articles. - One was the
charge that a great deal of his time
was devoted to his racing stable and
that his Jockeys wore the national col
ors, a yellow dragon Jacket The roy
al government will not permit this.
"Then there were other charges of
official and personal misconduct The
charges against the minister were that
he had previously been notified of all
this but bad failed to call the consul
to account, and In that had shown ne
glect of his duties."
Minister Wu and Consul General Ho
Tow are brothers-in-law.

himself to disciplinary treatment
While Miles did not expect, when he
gave his testimony, that It would be
made public In any form, he is now
willing that it shall, be published by
the committee, making himself th
broad statement that statements which
were given to the press aa those made
by himself before the committee were
misrepresentations totally unwarrant
ed.

WASHINGTON. March JO.-In the
contested election case of William H.
Horton vs. Jame J. Butler, from the
Twelfth Missouri district Republican
members ot the election committee

about 14,000 names which could not
be located at places of residence de
signated, nor were these names In last
census returns or in the city dlreotory
of St Louis. The committee found
that about 9500 of these doubtful name
appeared in the voting lists, ot which
It is estimated Butler received about
700 and Horton about Z30C-. In vitw
of these facts Republican members
declare the seat vacant. ! f '

On Aeeoutit of Crowded Condi

Appropriation.
LEXINGTON, Ky., March 20. The
Bradley dormitory at the State School
of Reform near this city was destroy
ed by Are shortly after midnight, but
all the Inmates, numbering 12S boys.
were saved. The fire was discovered
in the third story of the dormitory at
12:25 o'clock by the night watchman.
He at once notified Superintendent
Doak, who promptly aroused the in
mate and got them safely and with
out disorder out of the building. The
officials' and the boys went to work to
save the office furniture tout the flames
spread quickly' and., the : domitory was
soon in ruins.
A telephone message tu sent here
for help and .the local fire department
quickly responded and an engine was
started at onoe. They had about six
miles to go and although they were
too late to save any part of the dor
mitory, they prevented the flames from
spreading to the manual training
building which is near the dormitory.
At 1:10 o'clock the dormitory collapsed
and at 3 ociock the Are was practical
ly extinguished.
The burned building was erected in
1896 during the administration ot ex-
Governor W. O. Bradley, at a cost of
125,000, and was Injured for two-thirds
of its value. It was. the only dormi
tory completed' to this time excepting
the one occupied by the girls three-
quarters of a mile' away.
In it were the superintendent and his
family, the guards and the white boys,
numbering. about 125. The burning ot
the building leaves these young crim
inals and the superintendent without
quarters. The colored boys occupy the
manual training building in which are
the factories, etc., and the colored
girls occupy an old house, which stood
on the place at the time of the farm's
purchase by the state.
Because of the badly crowded condi
tion of the dormitories and the in
complete plans of the institution, the
state legislature has Just passed an
appropriation for the school's benefit.
