drag him down the hall to a place of safety,

Ing hla clothing. He ran to a window on
the aouth aide of the building, acroaa which
were Iron bar. Watt lea managed to tear
two or three of these from their fattening!
and, with two other men, who bad followed
him, climbed out on -the elll. ' They were
eeen by the Bremen, who called to them to
remain where they were and they would
aave them. A ladder waa' run tip aa high aa
potalble and the .two Men who were with
Wattlea were taken down. ' He 'became
erased with excitement, and not waiting
for the return of the Bremen- sprang for a
net which aome men were holding on the
ldewalk beneath. Ha fell partly. 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. The screen waa gone, but the bars
remained and they were heavy, placed there
for the purpose of withstanding all the ef
forts of lnaana men. Aa many men aa could
place their hands n the lower bar took
hold.. It bent almost double and six mea
went to the' floor with, a craah, holding
onto the IroA bar which they had torn troui
Its fastenings. 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.
'' Finally Breaks Devra,
The first man through was Dr. C. A. An

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.

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.

WASHINGTON, June 9. An Interesting
contribution to ths discussion of the isth

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

Paine's Celery
Compound
Banishes all Symptoms of Disease
and Nourishes the Nerv
ous System. ,
Patne's Celery Compound has saved
thousands of people from nervous prostra
tion and collapse brought on through sleep
lessness, weakened nervea, and Impover
lshed blood. Ths great medicine has made
thousands well. It baa conquered weakness
and 111 health when everything else has
failed. , " '
This Is the time 'when nervous debility
and nervous prostration begin to manifest
themselves. The coming hot weather will
only add fuel to the fire of suffering and
disease.
If there Is mental depression, loss of
energy, lack of vivacity, dullness of tho
eyes, blanched cheeks and lips, confusion In
ths head, defective memory, love of solitude
All these are direct Indications of coming
nervous collapse, and call for the Immediate
use of that nerve feeder, strength giver,
and blood enrlcher, Patne's Celery Com
pound. This Heaven-sent prescription la a
peerless remedy for your dangerous
troubles. President T. J. Shaffer, of ths
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers of the United Statea, writes
from Pittsburg! tt,., as follows:
"In 1899 I was compelled to abandon my
profession because of nervous prostration
consequent upon exposure, hard study, sad
overwork. A number or physlctana de
clared I would never recover, but I tried
Patne's Celery Compound, and In less than
a year Increased In weight from 141H to 215
pounds. During the recent strike of the
Steel Workers, finding myself ready to
collarse, and fearing a recurrence of my
former trouble, I returned to my former
friend, Palne's Celery Compound, and al
ready am feeling more vigorous and able to
meet and discharge the duties of my. office."
