Is Commander-in-chief in All Matters of Control of Army and Navy and Creates Something of a Sensation. Washington, May 8.—'Three members if the United States Senate have re ceived letters from President Roose velt within the last few days, declar ng his supremacy as commander-in chief in all matters of control of the trmy and the navy. The letters have created intense feeling in the Senate tnd it is not unlikely they will pre cipitate a conference of Republican members. The letters in every case ire in defence of his course in dis charging without honor, the negro soldiers he believes were guilty of ‘shooting up" the town of Browns ville, Tex., and his action in banish ing Col. William F. Stewart to an abandoned military pest in a deserted part o.' Arizona. The third letter came today to senator Stewart of Vermont. A few lavs ago during the debate on the HTownsville case, Senator Stewart ask 'd a question indicating that he had iolibt. as to the wisdom of granting the President the power of passing on [lie innocence or guilty of ex-soldiers applying for re-instatement, in view of the fact that it appeared that the President still believes all of the ne groes were guilty of complicity in the affray. The senator was surprised today to receive from tlie President a letter bearing on both the Col. Stewart and the Brownsville eases. Attached to the communication were letters to Sena tors Raynor and William Alden Smith. The one to Mr. Raynor asserts chief ly the President’s right to deal with an ollieer in sucli manner as he pleases, as commander-in-chief, while the one to Mr. Smith is confined to the Brownsville affair and reiterates the President’s belief that lie dealt •with the case as conditions demanded. PORTLAND HIGH WINS Debate With Edward Little High In Interscholastic League. Brunswick, Me., May 8.—(Special).— Portland High won the debate tonight with Edward Little High of Auburn, having the negative of “Resolved, That Granting Cuba's Willingness, the An nexation of Cuba by the United States Would Be for the Best Interests of the I'nited States.” The speakers were: Portland, Roger B. Snow, Wilford G. Chapman. Jr., Fred B. Wish; alternate, Charles E. Wright. Euward Little. Harold C. Alley, Jeffrey II. Craig, Charles F. Evans; alternate, Ray D. Marsh. The judges were Prof. .1. W. Black of Colby and Profs. W. T. Foster and Hastings of Bowdoin. The vote was two to one for Portland. The biennial council of the Society of Colonial Dames Friday at Washington •e-eleoted the present officers except Miss Wharton, the historian, who declined to continue. Miss Alice French of Iowa ,vas elected historian in her place. The President goes farther still in his letter to Senator Stewart. He de clares that from the question he asked in the debate. Senator Stewart appears to be proceeding under a misappre hension of the duties of the President of the United States relative to the army and the navy. He quotes the law as lie understands it, and denied that he is under any obligation to grant the discharged negro soldiers or Col Stewart any court of inquiry. Several paragraphs are devoted to a discussion of Col. Stewart's case and his faults which have brought him into disrepute in army circles. The President adds that in every commu nity there is maudlin sympathy with murderers and the Thaw ease in New York is cited by him as an example. The senators who have received let ters from the White House have not decided whether they will make them public. All have been asked to do so. Senator Smith of Michigan declined or the ground that it would be im proper and Senator Raynor is pre paring to use the letters to him in a speech whit li lie will make to the Senate denouncing the action of the President in banishing Col Stewart to Fort Grant. Ariz. Senator Stewart showed tlie letter tie received to sev eral of his colleagues, but thus far lias made no disposition of it. Several senators said today that the letters would have the effect of com plicating the proposed legislation in the interest of the innocent members of the battalion of negroes discharged on account of tlie Brownsville affray. There are two bills before the Senate looking 'o that end. It is generally be lieved that the Republican senators will hold a caucus for the discussion of the entire question including tiie President's letters early next week. THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. Plenty of Interesting Proceedings At Baltimore Session. Baltimore, May 8.—An attack upon polygamy by a woman delegate, the report of the missionary work of the church in southern Asia and the re quest by Missionary Bishop J. M. Tho burn for retirement from active ser vice, were the chief feature of today’s meeting of the Methodist Episcopal general conference here. Bishop James W. Bashford of Shanghai delivered an eloquent address on China. A dele gate from the Far West created a stir just before adjournment by denouncing some literature which had been dis tributed among the delegates. The ob jectionable matter was contained in a souvenir pamphlet and turned out to be whiskey advertisements. Killing the Irish Coercion Act. Condon, May 8.—By a vote of iiOl to 7, the bill repealing the Irish coercion act of 1887 passed its second reading in the House of Commons today. Chief Secretary for Ireland Birrell strongly supported the measure, declaring the coercion act to be unconstitutional and intolerable. He maintained that Ire land as a whole was law-abiding, al though there was in certain parts a spirit of lawlessness which he deplored. He said that any attempt to govern Ireland by coercion would be political insanity. DIAMONDS WATCHES CUT GLASS STERLING SILVER GUY O. VICKERY THE JEWELER apr2r>eo(Hf Shoe Bargains Extraordinary!

The dead are: Mrs. John Wilson, 40 years; Miss Mary Lee, her sister. 16 years; Sarah Wilson, her daughter, 3 years old; John Wilson, her son, 2 years. The boy John was alive when he was taken out of the smoke-filled kitchen, but died at the hospital. While the cause of the explosion is not known, as all the persons in the tenement were killed, it was believed by the firemen that one of the children turned on the gas in the stove and that Miss Lee started to light it with dis astrous results. Mrs. Wilson was sick in an adjoining room and was shut off from safety by the flames in the kitch en. The explosion occurred about ft A. M., about two hours after Mr. Wilson had gone to his work at the Fair banks Scales Co. The Wilson tenement was on the second floor of the house so that when tfie neighbors attempted to reach it they were driven hack by the flames and dense smoke. The fire men entered through the rear win dows, after putting out the fire and found the body of Miss Lee and the two children on the kitchen Moor. Mrs. Wilson's body was beside tile bed, but it was not burned, death being due to suffocation. It was found that the younger child was alive and it was hurried to the hospital, but it died an hour later. The body of Miss Lee was near the stove. The clothing was nearly burned off the upper part and the face was badly disfigured. The older child was also considerably burned about the head and shoulders and it was the opinion of the police that both Miss Lee and tlie child died almost immedi ately. but that Mrs. Wilson struggled out of bed but was overcome by the smoke before she could reach the kitchen. The fire was confined to the wood work of the kitchen and caused little damage. Mr. Wilson is a native of this town and is employed as a moulder at the Fairbanks Co. $1,250,000 LOSS. Two Blocks of Business Center of At lanta, Ga., Wiped Out. Atlanta, Ga., May 8.—A million and a quarter dollars is the loss conserva tively estimated tonight, on a fire which broke out at 3.30 o’clock this morning and swept over two blocks of Atlantic business property, bounded by Forsythe, Nelson, Madison and Hunter streets. The police and fire depart ments dynamited what was left of the ragged walls and tonight half of At lanta's fire fighting force is playing water into a dozen razed structures. The origin of the fire is unknown. It was discovered in the building occupied by Sehlessinger Meyer Co's, bakery. It SEC. METCALF Reviews the Fleet of 44 Warships at ’Frisco. Admiral Evans Not So Well and Unable to Go Aboard. His Active Naval Career Ends—Will Leave For the East Today. San Francisco, May S.—The com bined Atlantic and Pacific fleets of bat tleships, armored cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers and auxiliaries, aggre gating in displacement the enormous total of more than 400,000 tons—the greatest assemblage of armorclads thus far to mark the advance of the American navy to second place among the floating forces of the world—were reviewed in picturesque San Francisco harbor today by Secretary of the Navy Metcalf. The 44 vessels of the two fleets lay at anchor in four long col umns, and proceeding from the Oak land shore, the secretary on board the little gunboat Yorktown—a reminder of the days when the navy was in tts infancy—proceeded southward through the lines formed by the armored cruis ers of the Pacific fleet nearest the Oak land shore, and the second squadron of the Atlantic fleet, headed, by the Min nesota. Turning back to the north and at the end of these two lines, the York town traversed the lane formed on the starboard by the battleships of the first Atlantic squadron, and on the port by the grim little destroyers. The day was brilliant with sunshine I ran in all directions until it reached the Terminal hotel, one ol' the largest 1 in tile city, which it destroyed. Guests in the hotel and numerous 1 small hotels in the district had warn- ings and there were no causalities. The insurance is placed by insurance 1 ^nen at $750,000. c One of the heaviest losers is M. In man of Atlanta, who owned the entire block bounded by Forsythe, Mitchell and Nelson streets and Madison ave nue, and in which were the Schlessin- 1 ger-Meyer Co., a branch of the city postofflee; a branch of the Central Trust and Banking Co., and many smaller concerns. j The lire was discovered in the eleva- j tor shaft of the Schlessingcr building t and is supposed to have originated v from crossed wires running to the e motor, which operated the elevator, -j By the time the firemen arrived, the r flames had broken through the roof of the building, and owing to light water- pressure it was impossible to check their progress. j. In a short time tlie fire was eating r its way through Station B of the city postolfice, where mails received from the terminal station, just across the square, are aistriDUten. cut me em ployes of the branch postofflce, by quick work managed to save all the mail and most of the equipment. Leaping across Mitchell street, the (lames made short work of the Termi nal hotel, the Terminal annex. Child's C Cafe and hotel and Child's annex, but here the firemen succeeded in check ing the advance on the north side of Mitchell street. On the south side, however, the flames consumed every thing in their path until Forsythe r stret was reached. They destroyed the e buildings occupied by McClure’s 10- cent store, the branch bank of the Central Banking and Trust Co., the f Paragon Suspender Co., Moon Shoe store and the Liquid Carbonic Co. The Schlessinger building extended half a block on Nelson street, and from it the flames spread to several small store houses on Forsythe street, running the Dlac.es occupied by Alverson Bros.' t Grocery Co., and the Walker Cooley Furniture Co. A strong west wind scattered burn iag embers over the whole business section of the city threatening for a time greater losses. The guests at the hotels and rooming houses in the burned district succeeded in saving most of their effects. T ONE FATALLY BURNED. g Two Hundred Inmates of Infirmary s Near Marietta, O., In Danger. 1 Marietta, Ohio, May 8.—Following an explosion of gas today in the Washing- ton County Infirmary east of this city, the entire structure became enveloped r in flames. Director Young was fatally burned. The infirmary contained ‘200 inmates. Ail the inmates escaped and after a temporary panic they organized a fire brigade and saved the building, j Superintendent Young Is believed to be dying from his injuries. and a sighing breeze from the west set 1 the waters on the hill protected bay I dancing into white capped waves. The c heavy battleships and cruisers, dressed i with fluttering signal flags, paid no heed to the whistling wind, but the s destroyers rolled and swayed in the t choppy sea. Excursion craft crowded about the anchorage area and gave the patrol boats plenty of work. They added many touches of color to the scene, however, and gave the people of s Hie bay cities who again made black c the hillsides, their second splendid v water pageant within three days. The review, however, was the last of the shows on the water, for soon the ships f will be departing, some for the navy c yard for repairs, and others of the Pacific fleet southward on a practice cruise. t Rear Admiral Evans, who had hoped I to end his active naval career by ’arti- c cipating in today’s official ceremonies, i was not permitted by his physicians t to go aboard the Connecticut.

In health, the organs and tissues can do double their usual amount of work without strain or friction, because they; have stored energy to meet the extra demand. When you feel ‘‘all tuckered out.” these factors of safety are nearly exhausted and you need to resort to BEECHAM’S PILLS to renew the supply of energy, wherever it may be called for. Indigestion, bilious attacks, constipation, loss of sleep, ner vousness, dizzy spells, are warnings that the factor of safety in the stomach, liver, bowels or brain, is low, or nearing the danger point and needs to be replenished. Beecham’s Pills increase the supply of blood, strengthen the stomach, operate the bowels, feed the nerve cells, build tissue, and create a reserve supply of energy, which is the only natural and effective way to 'irtimttA Protect the Health In boxen with tall directions, 10c. and 2Sc. i. i J liitr I'.'V rlyi/n-ifii if ;;i bis q .1 m You Know What Patent Medicines Are Worth They have a set price and when It Is cut you know you are
