"" URIAH'S CAPITAL BURNED.
Handalay Destroyed, Leaving
25,000 Families Homeless.
Several Hundred Natives Perish
in the Flames,
Despatohes frou Man .ialay. the Capital ot
Barmab, say that a disastrous fire has
ragpd, there. Three-fourths .or tne city n
? ashes. Among the buildings gone are the
Idpaiac*. the new Government telegraph
Wee, and two convents. The whole busi ni
portion of the city has been swept
way. The loss of life has been between.,
wveoty-five and a hundred.
No search has been made for bodies, as
Ike people have been fleeing to the open
country all 'lay, trying to save their household
goods and escape the intense heat
which envelopes the ruins.
. They are camping at a distance from
ha city without food or shelter, and calls
hr help for them have been sent
at by the authorities. The Are is
aid to have been caused by the coals
*w? flr? in a native's hut in the
lower quarter of the city. There is no prowon
against fire in the city and the people
did not wait to fight it but fled panic stricken
before it. Phe roads to Amarapura are
arowded with fugitives, who will seek help
in that city. The suffqdju^will be intense,
as about 25,000 families will be homeless.
The residence of Sir Alexander Macftaaxie,
Chief Commissioner, was burned
asri two of his servants were mortally inland.
The total number of those severely
namedto thdag&t to be about 2500. Latest
nporte say the loss of life was underestimated.
It may reach 200 and perhaps

Mandalay fell into the bands of the British
when they conquered Upper Burmah a few
years ago. It was the Capital of King
Thebaw, one of the most inhuman rulers
who aver sac on a throne. Before that oonfoest
a white man could visit Mandalay
only at the peril of his life. Now, however,
the great city is connected with the out*<de
world by rail. Soon after the
British troops marched into the city
it was fired by daooits, as the robber
bands of Burmah are called, and thou
hnm?d Bamboo enters
nodi or nousen o ? -?
largely'rHto tho construction of the houses.
The British have been putting up soma sub tantial
buildings, but the rest of the city is
ad always has been a tindor box.
Ib 1886 this city was inundated br ? treat
freshet ib the Irrawady River, though an
embankment forty feet high is supposed to
famish adequate protection. A tract five
ales long by two wide was under water
trotn four to twenty-fire feet and 50,000
eople were driven out of their houses. So
Caadalay in recent years has had her full
ahar? of great misfortunes.
Tbe greater part of the natives lived
within the walled city. Thi fact that the
palace, which was outside of the walled city,
was burned dhows that the European buildings
put up for official or commercial purpone
were also endangered and very likely
destroyed, as they were all in the neighbor*
stood of the place. Newspapers in English
were printei in the city. The population is
about 900,000.

SMOKELESS POWDER TESTS.
Successful Trials With Four and
Eight-Inch Guns.
Some very gratifying results have been obained
with u hand-made sample of smokeess
powder at the naval ordnance proving
ground at Indian Head, near Washington.
The test* with the powder made by the Ordlance
Bureau's chemist at Newport. R. I.,
lave hitherto t<?aa confined to small arms,
cludin; the one, three, aai six
pound guns and the four-inch rapid-fire
jun. promising results having been
obtained in all cases. With charges about
one-half those used with ordinary powders
the velocities were increased from 1-50 to 200
foot seconds, with no increase of chamber
pressure. The Naval Chief of Ordnance at
the time expressed the hope that smokeless
powder might come into exclusive use in all
juns of six-inch calibre and below it.
" The test which has just taken place was
with a four-inch gun and with an eijht-lach
gun. In the former weapon a thirty-threepound
projectile was used, with a powder
charge of five and a half pounds. The
velocity obtained was 2160 foot seconds, at a
pressure of 14.6 tons. In the case of
che eight-inch gun an eighty-pound
projectile was used, as is done in the
foreign service?. The powder charge was
sixteen pounds, and there was developed a
velocity of 2415 foot seconds aud a pressure
13.6 tons. These results compare favorably
with those obtaihed abroad under much
better conditions.
This seems to settle the question, if any
aver existed, of the merit of the naval
smokeless powder.

c
Th? trMtr or rvinvnnfnnn nrovifHna for \
arbitration in the settlement of the differ- b
en cos between Great BritSta and the United b
States over the jurisdiction of the Bering ?
Sea has been ratified by the Senate, at p
Washington, by a unanimous rote. 0
The s:cret session which resulted in the ^
ratification lasted two hours?from two to *
four o'clock?and was of the quiet, conserve 4
stive character. y
Its detail is of little interest, in view of n
the ratification. Shortly after the doors p
were closed a call of the Senate was ordered, c
and an unusually large number of Senators j,
answered to their names, the number being ^
increased to seventy-two when the vote on 1
the treaty was taken. r,
There was some general discussion con- n
earning the perfection of the treaty, and Mr. ei
Sherman announced that the propositions v
mad# by some Senators at previous sessions p
that the arbitration procedings should be
conducted in English had met with a favor- w
able response from Lord Salisbury. ?
The treaty does not stipulate the language {j
in which the proceedings'shall be conducted. w
Mr. Sherman said that the suggestion that M
they be conducted in Engllnh had been com- j,
municated to Sir Julian Paunceforte, the ?
British Minister, who replied that he had no j.
objection, bakpreferred-'to oommunicate r
with his own Government before agreeing ~
to it. h
This he did and Lord Salisbury approved. r
After Mr. Sherman made this statement the a
treaty was amended so thtit English should1 ?
be the language used in the conduct of the 1.
proceedings. _
There was some discussion over article XI
of the treaty, which provides that "the de- m
cision of the tribunal shall, if possible, be +
made within three months from the close ofi u.
the argument on both sides." +1
SUvaimI f.hnnvht: f ho 11
for decision should be longer, and as there
was no objection to this the time was extended
to four months.
i After a discussion over these points and
some others of minor importance, the treaty
was ratified' (irtthout further change' and
without the passage of any resolution) by an ?
ave and nay vote, and resolutions informing
the President of its ratification and removing
the injunction of secrecy from the vote, 88
were adopted.
A well-Informed Washington correspond- n
ent writes; The unconditional ratification,
of the treaty leaves President Harrison free 0-,
now to complete arrangements with Lord
Salisbury for a new modus vivendl on terms
which will doubtless be satisfactory to both *
Governments, it is the President's intention
to accept substantially the first proposi- el
tion of Lord Salisbury's note of March 28th, P
stated as follows:
We are, however, willing, when the treaty h
has been ratified, to agree to an arrangement f,
similar to that of last year, if the United
States will consent that the arbitrators
should, in the event of a decision adverse to a
the United States, assess the damages which
the prohibition of sealing shall have inflicted
on British sealers during the pendency of the
arbitration, and. in the event of a decision *
..a - A._ r\ * V>
flavor so w urruaii cirnniu, iuuuiu unu luo
damages which the limitation of slaughter p
shall, during the pendency of arbitration, gi
hare inflicted on the United States or its
lereeM, 3
The arbitration of damages provided for ifi
here covers, will be noticed, only the period
from the ratification of the treaty to the t1
time a final decision is announced by the 0
Board of Arbitrators. It contains no re- ?
utriction of liability such as Lord Salisbury p
maintains as to damage done the United
States since 1855, and can be accepted without
a renewal of the discussion which threw ?
the original article as to the general arbitra- <
tioo of damages out of the treaty just rati*1
8ed. i d
There was a full Cabinet meeting at the ?
White House after the ratification of the h
treaty. TheCahlnet practically agreed to
accept Lord Salisbury's proposition for a re- v,
newal of last year's modus vivendi, with ^
certain limitations as to the cfepracter of Q
damage* to be left to the determination of
the arbitrators.
The trenty provide* that the whole ques- "
tion shall be submitted to arbitrators to be
appointed by prance, Italy and Sweden, the d
main question involved being whether seals
are to bo considered as ferae naturae, or S
whether the peculiar circumstances attend- le

ripLls were recognised by Great Britain^
wnat rtgacs, 11 any, nasis cwuaou

FIVE SHOCKS KILLED, ,
Murderer Cotto Executed by Eleotricity
in Sing Sing (N. Y.) Prison.
_ Jeremiah Cotto. the Italian ragpicker t
who murdered Louis Frankeloso, a fellowcountryman,
on the morning of July 36th h
last in New Utrecht, N. Y., paid the death d
penalty in the eleetric chair at the State ?
Prison in Sing Sing. At 11 the night before ?
Warden Brown went to the condemned J;
man's cell and read the death warrant to ?
him. Cotto, who has little knowledge of Cl
the English language, looked friehtanea.and 6
apparently thought that the War Jen had a
come to take him to his death. After the ,
Warden left him ths murderer seemel more a
calm, and was induced by his keepers to lie "
down on the cot in his cell. The priests ar- ?
rived at the orison at about 8 jl if., and a
went to Cotto's cell. ?:
At 10:3-5 o'clock everything wai in readi- a

the execution chamber. Mr. Davis, the u.
State expert, was at the switchboard testing 8!
the voltage o? the current, which was shown si
to be 1800. *
At 10:43 Cotto entered the death chamber,
being supported by Fathers De Raueta ?
and Milo. Warden Brown led the little pro- ?
cession. As Cotto caught sight or the death
r-hair be tottered and would have fallen *
had he not been supported by the priests. 11
Cotto was hurriei into the chair and 01
quickly strapped. The electrodes were then v'
applied, one at the calf of the right leg and 01
the other at the foreheAd, it being decided
not to use the same method as at the exeou- ti
tion of McElvaine, when the current was w
introduced throuzh the hands. hi
At 10:45 Warden Brown nodded to Mr.
Davis to turn on the current. Instantly bi
there was a convulsive movement of Cotto's
body and the straps began to creak. Contact
after contact followed in rapid A'
succession until five had be?n given ?J
to the condemned man. The in- ^
terval between each contact was twelve
seconds. After the third contact Drs. Abbott
and Irving felt the dyin* man's pulse
and al >o listened to the beating of the heart. J?
The l?\st contact was given at 10:48:03.
Three minutes after this all action of the
heart and pulse had ceasei. The doctors ^
present were then invited to examine the re
Dody. All those who did so agraed that "
Cotta was dead.
Immediately after the first contract cot- -p
to's face tnrned purple, and then, after each -t
successive shock, the feature became distorted
and discolored The strap over the A
forehead and eves slipped down and exposed
the features. Trie body was carried into
the autop3j-room adjoining the death chamber,
where an autopsy was performed by Drs. te,
Irving and Abbott. T}
Drs. Abbott and Irving said that Cotto
felt absolutely no pain after the first con- *'>
tact, and that, in their opinion, three would in
have been sufficient. tif
After the autopsy Cotto's body was placed tw
in a rough pine coffin, which was filled with
quicklime. The coffin was conveyed on the th
shoulders of four convicts out of the prison th
and up the hill to the burying-ground, where th
it was lowered in a grave near the graves of w

L number of engagements are reported. A
ody of Insurgents numbering 800 wu overrun
by the Imperialists at a place sixty
ai es from Kulun, and over 100 of them
rere killed and three leaders mads
risoners. In a second engagement
ver fifty of the enemy were ? put
a the sword, and the .remainder were
bilged to retire to pawnshop, the strong
rails of which made it an admirable place to
efend. The Imperialists closely Invested
Ite building and Killed over 150 of the in*
lates. Intelligence later reached the Imeriallste'
campthat a force of the enemy,
3 m prising 000 cavalry and 800 u>

ig to the rescue of their confederates. -
"hev were attacked in the front and the
ear by the Imperial forces and lost 400
ten during the battle. Those who escaped
a countered another party of Imperialists,
'ho shot fifty of them and made a score of
risoners.
Another detachment of rebels wu posted
t ACeiyaokoutze, to which plaoe the Im*
delists continued their march. The rebel
etachment numbered about 100, of which
xty were killed and twenty made prisoners,
moug the latter being the so-called
lader of the vanguard, Le Hung Tea,
'ho was instantly decapitated. A still
urger force of the enemy was posted ih the
ihteo Chang district, where they had an entrapment

WALT WHITMAN.
Walt Whitman, the "food rray poet," ^
died at his home in Camden, V. J., at 0:43 d
a few >venings ago. His en 1 wm peaceful,
and he was conscious until the last. The e:
aged bard had been struggling with death ?
in December 17. when he was taken down a
with pneumonia. His death was looked for a
daily. His vitality was so great that he
rallied from the attack, although his
Jihysicians said he was very weak and d
iable to expire at any time. Five days be ti
fore his death a change was noticed in ?
Whitman's condition, and for the last three
days he took no nourishment at all. About 1
4 o'clock in the afternoon his attendants t
noticed he was growing worse, and Or. AJ- 0
ezander McAllister was sent for. He saw
the poet was dying and remained until the ?
end. The other persons by his bedside were n
Mrs. Mary Dans, his housekeeper; Warren
Fritzinger, his nurse; and Thomas B.
Harned and Horace Traubel, two warm P
friends. Dr. McAllister asked Whitman if
he was in pain, and the dying poet ans wered: ,
"No." Whitman's last woros were a re- 1
quest to his nurse to shift him in bed. Then,
reaching for his handkerchief, respiration
ceased, although his heart beat for ten
minutes afterward. Artist Ait ken made s
plaster cast of Whitmsn's face. It was de- j
cided that Whitman should be buried in

three months ago, learing his property to I
those who nursed him in his last illness. $i
Life and Llterarjr Productions.
Walter, or Walt Whitman, was born at
West Hills, Long IslAud, N. T.t May 31, c'
1819. His rather, whose name he bore, was d
a farmer; and the boy, the eldest of tha
family, was brought up with slight knowl* 11
edge of even the tew refinements obtainable Q
in the country sixty years ago. e
He . was strong and sturdy, a good
rider and swimmer, fond of out-door oxer- ?
cine, and impatient of all the amenities of
life. What book education he had he re- .
ceiled in the public schools of New York and
Brooklyn. It was not much, for when only E
sixteen he was back in the country, teach- n
ing others and learning from them rather r
than from books.
After a year or so of teaching he became P
a carpenter for a time; then he learned c
printing, working at the case in New York
City and Brooklyn, and editing papers in
New Orleans and in Huntington, Long j
Isian \ In 1847-8, with his brother Jefferson
Whitman/ be went on a long pedestrian tour 0
of the country, working his way fl
along by doing carpenter's Jobs, tramping
it, one might almost say. ror two years
the brothers wandered about, down the Ohio
- ?? . oi I. .M<|
and Mississippi ruvCI S, 1U mu
Texas duriag the Mexican War, along the
lakes, into Canada, and down the Hudson
back to Long Island, where Walt Whitman a
betook himself onoe more to the printer'*
case. (
Up to 1855 he had been known, so far u
he was known, limply a* a carpenter-printer <j
of no especial steadiness. In 1855, however,
appeared bis first and most famous book. .
"Leaves of Grass," a volume of rhspsodiaal 1
poems, always without rhyme, generally
without rhythm, dealing especially with the t
interests involved in America life
and progress of the time. f
The first edition of this book Whitman sat
up and printed himself, and for thirty years .
he has been revising and adding to the oook.
At the beginning of the war Whitman
was living in New York City; but his r
brother George was wounded at Fredericksburg
in 1863, and the poet went to the front I
to nurse him. He remained with the army t
?ui nf tha war ai?#rward crivins?
UUtU lUO v?vrv V*. ^
bis experiences in two volumes, "Drum
Taps" (1865), and "Memoranda During the S
War" 11867). His most conventional poem
is in "Drum Taps"?"Captain, My Captain,"
in memory of Lincoln. ?
In 1864 be bad been compelled to (ire up *
for a time bis work as nurse, because of a
fever caught in the hospital camps among f;
the sick From the effects of this fever d
Whitman never recovered fully, though he
returned to his nursing; as soon as he was able ?
to be about. 0
At the close of the war he obtained a clerkship
in the Interior Department, from which
he was dismissed when his superior officer *
learned that be was the author of 6
"Leaves of Grass," He obtained a clerkship
in the Attorney-General's office, how- li
ever, which he kept until 1874. In February, ^
1873, he bad a stroke of paralysis, resulting
from his fever of 1864 ana the exposures of n
bis army life, and went to Camden, N. J. n
He was recovering rapidly when in May his
mother died suddenly in his presence. The ?
shock caused a relapse, and he was incapacitated
for any work for m^ny months.
On his recovery he resigned his clerkship
and settled in Camden, where he resided "
the rest of his life, 0
Before this, while In Washington, he pub- ' 0
lished "Passage to India" (1870), "After
All Not to Create Only" (1871), "As a a
Strong Bird on Pinions Free" (1872), and a v
volume of Drose essays, "Democratic Vistas" fi
(1S70, republished in 1873 and 1888). In 1881
a new edition of "Leaves of Grass" was j,
published in Boston, to the sale of which the ^
Massachusetts authorities objected, on the ^
ground of immorality. In 1883 Whitman
published ".Specimen Days and Collect," in ..
1885 'November Boughs," and in 1888 *
"Sands at Seventy." ?
In the latter year he had another stroke of r
paralysis. It crippled him almost entirely, ?
and on his seventieth birthday his friends ?
S.ve to him a pony carriage and pony, and ,
e "good gray poet" drove himself about
Camden, enjoying the outdoor life he had h
always lover). His infirmity was physical, ?
not mental, however, and within a few J
months he has published a farewell volume of ?'
poems, '"Good-By, My Fancy." -<
Of late years the bitter attacks on Whitman
have ceased, and he has been admitted "
to b* indeed a poet.
Whitman was dependent entirely on th?
sale of his books, and while never rich, of
late jrears has been absolutely poor. He
steadily refused to accept charity, however. .
Whitman was described by the admirer,
who gave him the title by which he is most
widelv known, that of ''the good gray
poet," as tall and stalwart, bis
race rosy, and seamed with kindly 12
wrinkles; with heavy-lidded, firm blue P
eye-, and with a short thick beard, and thin- w
ly flowing hair. Of late years his hair and
board have been almost snowy white.
He never was married. It was said that 00
a disappointment in early life was the cause. ^
