LONDON. March 24-Tho Derln corre-
spndent of the Times telegraphs that It
scarcely needed Emperor William's letter to
Ismack , In which his majesty expressed hIl
profound ) Indignation at the refusal at the
Helchstag to authorIze Herr von Lo\'ltzow ,
president of that body , to congratulate PrInce
Dsmarck In the name at the House on the
approachIng nnnlversary of his birth , to give
a polItical character to thIs unedlylng spec-
tncle
, Te correspondent adds that I Is difficult
to avoId the Impress , , ) that Prince Bis-
marck's admIrers set the demonstration afoot
with a definite , though as yet veiled , purpose.
In the same manner ns that In which they
used the cry for religion , morality and social
order to Chancellor von Capri vi , I they
hall real ) wIshed a majority In the Helchs-
tag , there Is reason to believe they could have
obtaIned it , but for a fortnight last the press
oC the cartel parties has surpassed itself In ,
recrIminatIons against the centre party and
the radicals , which slowly but surely ex-
chulell every possibility of an amicable compromise -
promise No steps were taken to obtaIn any
courtesY that could not be wrung trout them
by force.
Stl ne oppositIon must bear a share oC
the hlame. The conduct oC the centrists wa
scarcely.wcrthy oC a powerful party. I may
he asmmed that thc centrists were Influenced
by time unyielding attitude of Herr Richter ,
the radical leader. Many nersons think that
herr Richter repeated his mistake of 1&93 ,
and carrIed his dCpotsm too far. As It b
the centrists and radicals have In the eyes
or a large part oC the country allowed them-
solves to he drIven by the macnlnalons of
their enemies to exhibit to time world a tes-
tamonlnm 11 per ts.
It would be hazardous to venture to conjecture -
jecture ns to the final object of the cartel
pa rle !
TheIr clamor for the dissolution of the
Reich stag Is a fitting sequel to theIr conduct
as a whole , but the correpondent says he
knows from excellent authority that there
Is no InclinatIon In influential c'reles to
listen to this queston about admnce. The
vote on the resolution was not equivalent to
the government's death. Neither the go v-
ornment nor the conservatives who arc cry-
Ing the loudest have anything to gaIn by
a dlssolulon oC the Relchstag.
I Is needless to remind the conservatives
oC what their position would bo In a general
election . with the government opposing the
Von Ianltz scheme for grin control by the
general govornrnont. With the single exception .
cepton of tie extreme radical and Catholic
and socialistic papers , the whole press admits
that the Reichstag , by its acton , lowered
Its prcstge , I Is probable that the new !
president oC the house wilt be a member of
the centrists , that Is . time clerical party.
LONDON March 24.-The Paris correspondent -
spondent of the Times says the press of that
city condemns the acton of thc Rcchstag !
A dispatch to time Times from Vienna says
there Is a universal expression of unrnitl.

day morning at 4:20 : , alt before ho could
make his escape he was so badly burned that
he tiled seven hours later at the Emanuel
hospital.
Maguire halt been occupyIng the blacksmith -

The buiding was formerly a traIning stable ,
but was later fitted u ( for blaclwnlthlng by
Smith Coffee , who ownell I nt the tme It

Maglro had been asleep for sOle hours
w'el he was awakenell by the roaring anti
crackling oC the flames , which were rahll'
enveloping the entire building , I wooden
structure anti very dr ' . Ills first effort to
make hIs escape was at the front door , and
being unable to get It open he rushed through
the fire to the rear , and failed In hIs attempt
to make his escape In that direction. The
bulling at this point , where the fro had
evidently started , was a mass oC fames , and
lImo ! heat and smoke were st ng. The night
clothes oC Maguire were now on tire , and hIs
body was being burned In a horrible manner.
The torture was becomIng unbearable and
crazed with paIn he made a last effort to free
himself from the burning building , and again
rushed through the flames to the front part
oC the buIlding , where , gathering all the remainIng -
mainIng strength he had , 'Ie hurled hIs body

DESPERATE RUN FOIL HELP.
The site of the blacksmith shop Is a block
from the nearest business house or dwelling ,
and up to this time the 11eoplo nearet to the
burning building were not aware that a fire
was In their vicinity. MaguIre's cries for
assistance had not aroused any one. In a
pitiful condition , with his night clothes burn-
lag and the flesh pealing from his legs , arms I
and hands , ho male his way a block distant
to a building , 3802 Sherman avenue where
with lila cries he aroused L T. Foreman ,
whom he begged to extInguish the fames
that were burning his back and which he
was unable to reach with his mangled hands
Mr. Foreman . rendered all the asslstanco that
was In. his power , and , In obellenco to Mr.
MaguIre's wishes , he led hIm a block further '
north to where a friend pf lagulro's lived.

In conversation wIth his frIends he stated
that seine one had tried to bur him up , amid
that the doors had been barred cn the out-
sIde , melting his escape almost Impossible.
FrIends oC Maguire stated that they knew
of no one that could be construed to he an
enemy of hIs , and that all oC his acquaIntances -
ances seemed to tblnlt a great deal oC him.
Time only difculy they had ever known
Maguire to have was a few weeks ago , when
a colored man went to his shop and bad a
horse shod and paid for the worle. 'In a few
days the same man returned and had another
horse shod and asked for credit , but this was
denied and the horse was held until the
money was paId over. A few words were

lag was expressed on eIther side
Although the building was entirely burned ,
which destroyed time chances of learnIng

outside , the friends are unanimous In saying
that they do not think that such was the
case , and explain time tact thut Maguire was
unable to escape at first from eIther of the
doors as being cause from the excItement ot
