In It and partly on the' aldewalk and aust'atned in juries which probably will cauae his death In a short time; Kent waa left lying on the floor of hie room and evidently . died of suffocation. Hla body waa badly burned after death. Three hours after the outbreak of the fire he waa ' found on- the floor of his room, one leg being burned, to a crisp and the head burned off. He was Identified by means of his clothing'.' ,. Haa Marveloas Escape. In a room on the second floor was Dr. William Hunker of Chicago, who aome time ago lost uue of his legs In an acci dent. He waa In bed when the Bra broke out and on going to the - door of his room fonud escape In that direction cut off. Hobbling to the window he climbed out on the window till. He wat without clothing and when he saw the great crowd below he crawled bick Into the room and came out again wrapped In hla clothing. He wat aoon taken down by the firemen and when being carried away In an ambulance aid that he would rather have been in jured than- have come out through that window undreesed. Later bla wooden- leg waa found and restored to him. He es caped without Injury of any sort. A acene that wrought to the pitch of madness the great crowd that had gathered around the building waa enacted at a fourth story window on the north aide. Across this window waa a heavy wire screen and on the outside of the screen were iron bars running parallel to the 111. The space between these bars was too email to allow the passage of even a small boy and behind them were gathered crowd of men, whose numbers were after ward found to between twenty-five and thirty. Only War to Get Oat. Escape In other direction waa Impossi ble, for fire filled all the halls and was steadily eating lta way toward the window t which the men were atandlng. The one chance for life for that crowd of men lay through that screened and barred window. The men closest to the screen tore and tugged at It in a vain effort' to tear It from Its fastenings and the men behind them fought madly to get close enough to the screen to fasten their fingers In it. So fiercely did the prisoners tug at the screen that from the street below atreama of blood could be aeen trickling from lacerated hands and flowed over the window sill. A number of the men at the window were In straight Jacketa and manaclea and those, not being able to help themtelvea or others, ere the wildest of all in their frantic efforts to break through the bars. The crowd In the street watching the desperate situation of the wen behind th? scene was Imply an insane mob. ' They shouted all torts of commanda and dlrectlona at the coen and gave orders to the firemen, who were doing all that .men could do' to get through the bars from the outside. . la Helpless Race.

As the flames came steadily toward the men the people' In the street Jumped up and down and screamed In helpless rage, (t aeemed as though nothing could be done, ind that all the men would die within six Inches of freedom. That any of the men escaped la owing to the work of W. E. Davla of Cedar Rapids, ta., a patient In the Institution. He Induced the men to cease their dlaconnected pull ing at the screen and to unite their efforts. Pour men at first took hold of the screen tnd In almost a minute the crowd behind them pushed them away and before the tour men could get to the screen again they were compelled to fight with tbelr fists. Davla managed to get his men to the window Igala and after a few desperate pulls they maaaged to tear down a portion of the screen. .. ;, ,:. . . Nerved to the fork, te bodies of the men swayed back and forth as they put all of their strength Into one last effort. The tands of one of the- men were covered with blood, but he hung on and pulled aa best he could nad he and all with him were to live not ten minutes longer, unless that screen came down. - , , ' Icreea Cornea Down. And finally down It came, la their des peration pulling with 1t large pieces of the mortar In which Its sldea. bad been en cased.

Bo qulokly did the men be hind them spring to grasp the second bar that those who had torn down the first were badly tramped on before they could rlaa. Another bar was aoon torn away and the path to safety was opened. Then a new danger assailed the prisoners. The crowd behind, hearing that at laat the way was open, poshed forward with auch haste that those nearest the window were nearly forced through to meet death on the aide- walk four atorlea below. The men at the windows foucht to' keen their nlani-a until the firemen could raise ladders and the men In' the rear, some of whom were al ready being, reached by the flamea. fought to gain the window.

TROUBLE OYER LEASES Eecretarj Hitchoock Holding Off Approval of Those on Cheyenne River. CORLISS CABLE BILL LIKELY TO PASS From Contest Over Principle of a Pas He or Private Cable It Has De eaerated Into Contest Between Telegraph Companies. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 9 (Special Tele gram.) Strong pressure is being brought to beer on the secretary 6f the Interior to induce him to approve the leases for grazing lands on the Cheyenne river In dian agency In South Dakota. These leases haVe been pending for some time and action on them has been prevented as a result of various difficulties, which have grown out of them from time to time. The district courts have decided that the offi cials acted clearly within their rights In leasing lands within the Standing Rock agency, and refused to grant a permanent Injunction restraining the leases of land. The officials are therefore in a position to proceed, but Secretary Hitchcock decllnea to proceed upon his own responsibility. Senator Klttredge of South Dakota Is very urgent In his recommendations that the leases shall be approved. He was at the Interior department today where he had a conference with the secretary and In dian Commissioner Jones. Secretary Hitch cock will confer with President Roosevelt before acting. Fight Between Rival Companies. The Corliss cable bill, which will prob ably be taken up tomorrow under a rule which the committee on rules of the house will report, and debate will continue until Thursday or Friday, will not meet with the opposition anticipated unleas conditions materially changed. Colonel Hepburn of Iowa, who haa alwaya opposed a govern ment cable, Is at home attending his con gressional convention, while Representative J. 8. Sherman of New York, who is also absent, is not expected to return to Wash ington until the last of the week. With this strength absent opponents of the Cor liss measure are In aomewhat of a chaotic condition. Representations were made to Speaker Henderson today regarding these conditions and asking that consideration of the bill be postponed until later. The apeaker, however, stated to those speaking for the opposition that the decks had to be cleared for the Philippine civil government bill,' which will be taken up on the ISth, and with the irrigation bill pending It would be out of the question to postpone considera tion of the measure which has excited so much attention throughout the country. Cable BUI Likely to Pass. The fight over the Corliss bill has re solved Itself in very large measure to a fight between the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The Mackay inter eats sre ambitious to construct a cable which they can control In cunjuuutlon With their overland and Atlantic systems, while the Weetern Union Is deslrlous that the government ahould construct the cable that all companies should have equal benefit. The fight on the rule, which will be re ported tomorrow, will uncover the hand of ths opposition. Representatives Richard son and Underwood, democratlo leaders, will oppose the rule as strongly as they know how, and it Is stated tonight that the democrats will vote solidly against the Corliss bill. i General.

The remainder of the day was devoted to the bill to transfer certain forest re serves from the Interior department to the Agricultural department and to authorise the creation of such reserve of game and fish preserves. President Roosevelt, in his annual mes sage, recommended such a measure. The minority of the public lands committee of fered a substitute for the bill a measure which eliminated that portion of the bill which transfers the reserves to the Agri cultural department. - Messrs. Lacey of Iowa, Kleberg of Texas, Perkins of New Tork and Williams of Mississippi spoke In favor of the bill. Messrs. Mondell of Wyo ming and Shafrotb of Colorado supported the minority substitute. Mr. Bell of Col orado opposed the bill. American Boer Prisoners. Mr. HItt, from the committee on foreign affairs, presented a resolution which after reciting the fact that peace has been es tablished In South Africa, calls upon the secretary of state for a complete list of American citizens now detained aa prison ers of war In South Africa, and for Informa tion as to what action la being taken to secure their release. The resolution was adopted without division. The house then under the order made last week, proceeded with the consideration of the bill "to the transfer of certain forest reserves to the control of the Department of Agriculture, and to authorize game and fish preserves In forest reserves." Mr. Lacey 'of Iowa, In charge of the bill, explained the growing intereat In forest reserves as a means of ' conserving the water aupply and of the protection of game. The bill provides that all forest reserves heretofore set apart and auch as may here after be set apart ahould be transferred to the Department of Agriculture for adminis tration. The present reserves, however, are not to be transferred until the boundaries shall have been established. Mr. Mondell of Wyoming, who signed the minority report against the bill, opposed the measure. He argued that the transfer of the forest reserves now under the In terior department waa an impracticable and radical change of policy which would lead to a ruction between the Interior and Agricultural departments and lead to the creation of many new offices. There are now forty-one reserves, containing 41.000, 000 acres. These reserves are now open to entry under the mineral lawa. They also contain thousands of persons living on perfected or unperfected entries made under the land laws, and he argued that all the public land and legal questions arising would have to be settled by ths Interior department and lead to endless conflict with the Agricultural department. HARRIS FOR NICARAGUA WAY Kansas grantor, Skilled Kngiaeer, Advocates Adoption of Ilepbarn Bill. WASHINGTON, June 9. An Interesting contribution to ths discussion of the isth mian canal project was made In the senate today by Mr. Harris of Kansas, a member of the committee on lnteroceanlc canals. who Is slso an engineer of recognized abil ity. His discussion of the technical de tails of canal construction was listened to with profound attention. He strongly ad vocated the selection of the Nicaragua route. He maintained that it was entirely feasible and practicable from an engineer ing standpoint and said that some of the difficulties presented by the Panama route were insuperable notably the construction of the Bohlo dam. Mr. Harris went Into minute details of the Panama proposition, his point being to show that ths valuation of the property of tbs Panama company, both aa to ths canal and the railroad property, was not only excessive, but that much of It, being use less for our purpor.es. would have to be re placed. He refe-.red to "the legal and dip lomatic differences which surround the Panama Car si company on all sides" and declared that they were absolutely Insep arable. Mr. Morgan discussed briefly tbs diplo mats negotiations between the United States and ths govsrnments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to show that neither Nica ragua nor Costa Rica could bave claims agalnat this government through the old Maritime Canal company. He pointed out that It was through he wisdom and fore sight of William McKlnley that the United Statea baa acquired the exclusive right to construct a canal through Nicaragua and Costa Rica and hs declared that this "was I Delivered J I No extra charge tor delivering" no mau lQfrf I ter where you live all you bave to do is to f ? jLr't I telephone, and a case of Blue Ribbon wljl be f 1 j 7T , at your door.
