The miners’ commissary department and the headquarters of the strike leaders are in the same building as the Il Trovatore Italiano’s office.

A large number of strikers were locked outside the build- ing and an armed picket was placed | outside. As this was one of the days of each week on which supplies are issued to strikers and their families some hardship was entailed.

After lunching with Emperor William the King went on board the | Italian flagship Sicilia, wh he was rejoined by the Emperor, with whom he inspected the Italian fleet, com- posed of fifteen warships, besides tor- | pedo-boats. During the Iuncheon on the Hahen- zollern king Victor Emmanuel toasted Emperor William. He said: “My people and I recognize and love in your Majesty a faithful and sure friend. The bonds which for so many years have united our states to one common ally have been the strongest guarantee of European peace. They should so remain.” Emperor William replied: “The idea of the triple alliance is engraved in an ineffaceable manner on the minds of our subjects. The alliance contracted by our illustrious predecessors and by the venerated head of the House of | Hapsburg has become for our peopie a blessing and for Europe a sure bul- | wark of peace, under the protection of | which peaceful development of the na- tions will continue without interrup- tlon “Always loyal to engagements en- tered inte, I raise my glass and drink of the brave Italian army and navy and of the sympathetic Italian peo- ple.” While the King was driving from the station to the harbor a man pushed through the crowd, and, approaching the royal carriage, tried to hand a pe- tition to the King. The man was ar- rested and taken ta a police station, where he wus identified as an ex- policeman, who on the occasion of a | former visit of King Victor Emmanuel | to Naples arrested &n anarchist named | Guerrero, who threw stones at the royal train, breaking a window.

It took 500 policemen to main- tain order. The building burned was an old fashioned five-story structure | overiooking Trinity Church. Smoke poured into the offices of the Wellg-Fargo Express Company at §3 Broadway, compelling all in the bufld- | ing to flee. Before g the clerks $100 in gold, siiver | anvas bags and car-| ried easufe in safety to a bank. | Several alarms called out forty-four | companies to fight the fire. Chief Cro-| {ker was called from the deathbed of his mother in Bloomfieid, J., so | threatening did the blaze appear at one tume. : The fire was confined to the build-| ing in which it started. | When the neighborhood in which | | the fire occurred is taken ipte com- | i.idemtio:: it was the most alar i daytime blaze that has occurred for | a long time in that part ef the city. Thousands of people poured from the | thickly populated financial distriet into the narrow canyon of Broadway and massed back for squares above | and below the blaze. The towering skyscrapers that face group of es at every window. burning buildings reached| | ugh to a narrow alley in the rear, and as the wind eddied through it/ swept clouds of smoke into Broadway. k that only occasionally could the flames be seen. The smoke roiled up the street, hemmed in by the tall buildings, and great flaming brands leh | thickly in the érowds. Closely following the first alarm a| “four”” was turned in. and them, with the warning of the Baitimore fire in mind, a “two-nine,” the dreaded gen-/ | eral alarm, followed. Engine after en-| gine, followed by their hose trucki.. water towers and ladder trucks, swept | clanging down Broadway, the only street of aceess to the fire, bringing in| | their wake additional thousands of peo- | | ple to swell the crowd that already packed every inch of standing room in the vicinity. Bursting hose and a back| roll of choking smoke now and tk drove them back and aided the poiice | reserves to clear the streets. | Eighteen firemen who were working their way into the Adams Express| Company’'s building had a remarkably ! narrow escape from being crushed by | falling walls. They had just entered | the building from the Trinity place side when the three upper stories caved i and fell with a crash just as the men gained the street.

LOUIS. March 26.—The trial of United States Semator J. R. Burton of Kansas, charged with having illegally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company, was conciuded this evening and the case submitted to the jury. It was announced at a late hour to-night that there would be mo verdict returned before to-morrow. Postoffice Inspector W. J. Vickery of Cincinnati was placed on the stand to- day to rebut the testimony given yes- terday by Colonel W. W. Smith, pri- vate secretary of Semator Burtom. In- spector Vickery testified that he had listened to the testimony of Colomel Smith, in whi e latter stated that as Chief Postoffice Inspector Cochrane S in company had said to Senator. that you did one any depart- present any | ment for compensation.”™ Vickery testifled t az no such state- then opened the ar- Sovernment. No Hmit gumen was placed o e time for argument by either side. Dyer was wed by Attorney F. W. Lehmann, made the opening argument for the defense. He briefly summed up, the evidence brought out Lehmann lald espe- cial stress upon the testimony given by Semator Eurton, and brought out strongly the expianation givem by Burton as to the reasons for his em- ployment by the Rialto Grain and Se- curities Company. QUOTES FROM EVIDENCE. Lehmann was followed by Bert D. Nortoni, Assistant District Attorney. who confined himself almost exclusive- I¥ to the reasons alleged by the Gov- ernment for which Senator Burton was employed by the Rialto Company. He quoted freely from the transcript of nee given by the witnesses to re the jury the con- prosecution that Sen- s engaged by the Rialto lely for his influence as tates Senator in any mat- ters that might come to the atteation £ ihe Postoffice Department affecting that concern. The closing argument for the de- sq, was made by Judge Chester e called the jury’s attention on of section 1752 of the tes, under which the in- tment was found. that should the icted he will forever of the Government, and attempted bring strongly bde the tention of tor Burton ed this, he said, so the ering the case, would the fact whe(har a ited States, a lawyer ted man would render e forever debarred from 1 office for the eonsid- the Rialto a not review the evidence in detail, devoted his argument to placing the facts in the case, as deduced by the evidence, be- fore the jury. ATTACKS INDICTMENT. Judge Krum attacked the specific charges alleged T the ment. He declared th vernment had failed to prove that Senator Burton d at- tempted to use his influence with any officer of the Postoffice Department {to prevent the issue of a fraud order against the Rialto Grain and Securi- ties Company. He asserted that “not one iota of evidence had been intro- { duced in which a projected fraud was mentioned.” "nited States District Attorney : Dyer delivered the closing argument. He asked the jury to put aside the fact that the defendant is a Senator of the United States in coansidering the evidence. He referred to the ex- ecution -of Collins at Union, Mo.. by -aymt that the law could not whether the hanging of Collins brought tears to those who loved him. The law, Colonel Dyer said, is the im-~ portant factor—it must be obeyed, notwithstanding who or what the per- [son may be. He quoted from section 1782 of the Revised Statutes and re- ferred to the testimony of the Govern- ment witnesses in general terms, call- | ing particular attention to that part which referred directly to the allega- | tion of the Government that Senator Burton accepted fees from the Riaito Company for appearing before the Postoffice Department in the imterest of the Rialto comcern. —_— Slowly Get Rich.
