By throwing kerosene oil Into n kitchen steve to make the flro burn quicker , Mrs. JInry Camera , an Italian woman , started n conflagration In her living apartments last evening that burned herself and three chil dren so severely that one ot the llttlo ones is now dead. The life ot the mother hangs in the balance , the attending physician being unable to tell whether shu will live or die. Mrs , Camcro , with the two little girls , was taken for treatment to Clarkson hospital. The younger of the two will recover. A B-yenr-old boy , burned about the head and hands , was cared for nt the homo of a neighbor. The flro occurred nt 7:30 : o'clock in the two-story frame building , 1110 Davenport Street , where several Italian families occupy apartments , Mrs , Camera's room being on the second floor , opening Into the hall by nn cast door , There were many people In adjacent rooms , but the accident happened BO quickly there was not titno for any of them to bo ot assistance. Mrs. Camera was preparing supper for her liusband , Nlchol , who IB a shoemaker hav ing a shop on Sixteenth street near Capitol avenue. Her apartment serves the purpose of kitchen , dining room and sleeping room combined. In a bed with Its foot almost touching the stove were the three children , Ilalpb , Rossle , 2V6 years old , and a 3-month- I'4 old baby , Maggie. ' ! VHVI ( he Oil. Because the flro burned slowly Mrs. Camcrn poured from the kerosene can a cup of oil and opening the steve door tossed It onto the 'blazing ' wood. Instantly there was a burst of flames that Ignited the woman's clothing and the carpet where the oil had dripped , spreading to the bed , con- Bumlng like cotton the straw mattress on which the children lay. The half-frantic mother tried to carry all their llttlo ones out of the blazing room , but Bhq dropped Rosslo from her arms near the door. The other two having been gotten eafcly outside , Mrs. Comoro ran screaming downstairs to the street where she fell. John Taylor , n colored man living next floor , saw the smoku pouring from the win- flows and hastening up to the second floor , eclzcd a pall and dashed water on the flames until they were extinguished. It was Tay lor who found llttlo Rossle burned nearly to a crisp , The police were summoned and while waiting for physicians Captain Her and his assistants procured materials from the sta tion to relieve the suffering of Mrs. Camero and the children temporarily. Assistant City Physician Ralph ordered them sent to Clarksqn hospital , but the boy having been cared for.by some neighbors was left with them. Rossle Camero died at 10:15 : last night. Tbo mother was burned about the head and liands , but if she has not inhaled the flames her chances of recovery are good. The physician Bays It will require a day or two to tell If she Is burned internally. The other children will recover. , 'i.uvl.a A 1IHJ TU.MIH.I3. Driven Over a Klffy Foot Iliiiik and In Hardly Scratched. John Ryeburg , teamster on one of T. J. 1 O'Brien's"'coal' wagons'- drove a team ot horses hauling a ton of coal off from.a bank fifty feet high last night and escaped with only n slight Injury on the knee. The accident occurred near Tenth and Tine streets , where Pine street Is ended by ' a high blurt. At the foot of the 'incline Ilyeburg , a companion named August Mundst , ' horses , wagon and coal were piled in n heap , but when they were untangled the principal damage was found to have been done to the wagon , -which was nearly demolished. Mundst picked himself up and walked away ; the horses were driven off by RycburB.'s eon and Ryeburg himself was carried to a neighboring house to wait the arrival of a physician. Ryoburg was sent by his employer shortly after dark to deliver a ton of coal at an ad dress on Hickory street. Mistaking Pine street for that thoroughfare , ho did not dis cover the error until ho came to the bank. Then ho attempted to turn and drive to Hickory street along an edge of earth be tween a fence and the bluff. In the dark ness he failed to keep close enough to the fence and was tumbled fifty feet Into n brickyard. ( Mrs. James L. Hamblln , who resides at the end of Pine street , heard Rycburg's wagon rattling past and a few seconds later ehe heard the crash as It fell. 'Mrs. Hamblln summoned help and. several men ran to Rycburg's assistance. The wagon , having fallen across ono of his legs , had to bo raised before the driver could bo released. Mundst had taken his departure before help came for his companion , but ho Is known to have taken the tumble because his hat was found near Ryeburg's cap and a motor conductor saw both men on the wagon seat when It turned from Tenth street into Pine. Ryoburg was carried to the house of F. M. Whitney , a few yards distant , and was aft erward removed to the station. City Physi cian Ralph said his Injury was n slight ono.

" In answer to Inquiries General Manager Kenyon of the Union Stock Yards company sold : "It means several things. Primarily , It means that local packers bought PO many cuttle at Kansas City , Sioux City , St. Joseph or some other point and that the cattle were simply sent here to bo slaughtered. This raises the question , Why do our local pack ers buy cattle at oilier points ? The answer Is simple. They cannot get enough cattle here to suit them and they can buy some grades of cattle a great deal cheaper at Kansas City than they can here. There are practically no Texas or southern cattle re- | colved In Omaha. These cattle arc very de- 1 slrablo for some purposes and packers are j forced to go elsewhere "to get them. Then , loo. medium grade native cattle sell much higher hero tlian ot Kansas City , for the very reason that here they nro not brought Into competition with the southwestern - western grass and meal fed cattle. Stockera and feeders nro high and prospective feeders prefer selling t-holr corn to taking chances on fc edlng It to "high " priced cattle. There are now undoubtedly 23 to 40 per cent more stock cattle In Nebraska than last year and with anything like n. good corn crop this year the close of 1899 will again BCD the food lots of the state as full as ever. Local packers will bo glad to buy Texas cattle shipped direct to this market. Arrange ments Imvo bem made by which the shipper can go on to Chicago at the balance of the through rnto In the event that ho docs not sell here. " This comment of Mr. Kenyon will doubt less answer ftlio questions of the shippers who have written asking about shipments made direct to local packers. What Is known ns the winter campaign of hogs ended on the last day otFebruary. . The winter pack commences on November 1 and ends on March 1 , and the number of hogs slaughtered and packed at the different hog centers Is watched with interest by provision dealers and speculators all over the country. Last year the winter pack nt South Omaha was 550,000 , as compared with 795,000 during the winter of 1898-99. This is an Increase of 245,000 hogs over the pack of last winter. While Omaha shows an Increase in the pack of nearly 250,000 hogs , Kansas City shows n. decrease of C3.000 'hogs ' , Milwaukee a decrease of C3.000 and Cleveland a decrease of 38,000. The South Omaha market compares favor ably With any of the markets of the country and shows -that the business of packing hogs at this point Is constantly on the Increase. During the winter campaign of 1897-98 the stock yards received 583,943 hogs , whllo 550,000 were packed here. The recent cam paign shows receipts of 799,224 hogs re ceived nere , with 795,000 packed hero. In brief , all but 4,000 hogs shipped to this market during the winter of 1S9S-99 were sold and packed here. This Is a remarkable showing and one which -tlie buyers and shippers - pers at this market are Justly proud of. J. Evans , jr. , of Emerson , la. , was at the stock yards yesterday making arrangements for his sale of fancy stock to bo held on March 9 and 10.

CECIL RHODES UN AMERICA Predicts Within Century United States Will Control All of American Hemisphere , GIVE BARBARIANS THE WHITE MAN'S ' RULE He Would Ilnve Iliiinllril Spain Out ot UK PnftNpMNltiiiii nnil Made that Nation I'ay n AVar lu ll e in tilt y. ( Copyright , ISO ? , by Associated Press. ) ALEXANDRIA , Egypt. March 2. Cecil Rhodes , who , In the eyes of most English men , Is the Incarnation of the Imperialistic policy , holds views concerning the future ot the United States even more far-reaching than most American Imperialists have broached. Mr. Rhodes , In conversation with a repre sentative of the Associated Press on board the steamer Hansburg , by which ho came to Egypt In the Interest ot the Cape-to-Calro railroad and telegraph , predicted most con fidently that within a century the United States would have advanced the work begun In the evacuation of Cuba until it controlled all ot the American hemisphere except Canada. The substance of the conversation is re produced without absolute verbal accuracy. Mr. Rhodes expressed admiration for the work already done In Cuba and predicted that It would bo carried on In the Philip pines. The United States ho considered one of the nations best equipped for colonization and repeatedly exclaimed : "You are taking to It Hko mothers' milk , apparently with the greatest delight. " Ho Inquired with great Interest what wcro the arguments of the opponents of Imperial ism In the United States and commented that they seemed to be animated by selfish ness. "It la the duty of civilized nations Co take charge of the barbarians and glvo them a whlto man's government , " he said. "Tho United States Is one of the great powers and cannot escape this duty. " Surprised at Our I'ayliiK Spain , He did not believe ttio United States wouTd over withdraw Its authority from Cuba and thought the manner In which Spain had been evicted and the United States had taken pos session most businesslike. America's action In compensating Spain for the Philippines surprised 'him. "I would have bundled the Spaniards out and made them pay a war Indemnity , ' " was his comment. He declared that the United States could never withdraw from the Philippines , be cause it was its duty to give these people n strong and good government ; nor did he be lieve that when they had begun to realize the results of their work there , Americans would deslro to abandon the policy. They might grumble for a time over the expense , but that would bo a "mere flea bite" to a nation so rich. Why not abandon some of the expenses of the pension list , which seemed so unreasonably Targe , if economy was necessary ? Even if a largo navy must bo built , the United States could well afford one. So far as the fear of provoking foreign entanglements and war went , as long as En gland and the United States stood together and maintained their present understanding , which was practically an alliance , no com bination ot powers dare menace them. To govern colonies , the United States must or ganize Q staff of colonial officials , but it could do that as easily as It could organize a new navy. Next We'll Expand Southward. To the sUBEestIons."r V tno anti-imperial ists that the Philippines would bo only the beginning of colonization , he said : "There arc no more Islands of the sea to bo acquired. They are all taken up. The territory of savage races Is practically all pre-wnpted by the civilized. The ultimate work of the United States will be to govern South America. You will TTobably begin with Mexico , acquire the Central American states , then those on the continent of South America , until you hold all the country to the south of you. These states have Incom petent governments practically barbarian governments and It will bo your duty to glvo them the white man's governments. Mexico Is well governed , but n nation can not depend on one man , and when Diaz Is dead It may be ruled no better than before his time. Southward Is the logical direc tion of the expansion of the United State- ) . "Tho Philippines came to you by accident ; these neighboring peoples It will be log ically your duty to provide for. " When Elaine's efforts to arrange a friendly compact between the North and South American republics were mentioned Mr. Rhodes called them visionary. "You will possess all those states by force of arms , and that within a centuiy , " he sold , emphatically. AN to Canada. Asked if Canada would logically be In cluded In this expansion , be said that Can ada had a good government , and therefore there was no need for change. Summarizing America's policy he said : "You people of the United States cannot always remain within yourselves. You can not always go on making money. You must get out Into the world and take up your share of the world's burdens. Already you are outgrowing your own country. You will absorb other countries and give them good government. Why should you not ? You have It In your blood. The Philippines will furnish new careers for young men. The whole work will strengthen you and jroaden your national character. Yes , al ready you are taking to It like mothers' milk. " TEXAS CONGRESSMAN DIES IteiireMeiitaUve John " \V. C'riinford of Fourth Dlxlrlet RxiilreN from Heart DUeiiNe. WASHINGTON , March. 2.
