Voted for Baltimore ns Convention city-Opposes Race Gambling. Washington, .lan. M. When seen to-day at bis otllce al the Capitol, af ter tile National Democratic commit tee had closed its work by selecting [{altimore as tho place tor holding tho National Democratic Convention. ?in .lune ?J5th, Senator Tillman ex pressed himself as pleased with the general situation and outlook of the party. The Senator voted against seating duffey as committeeman from Pennsylvania, but voted for Baltimore as the place for holding the convention. In fact, the Sena tor's vote settled the matter, for if he had voted for St. Louis the ballot would have been a tie. S? natur Tillman was asked if he had any opinion with regard to the horse racing question in South Caro lina. He said that he was against gambling; that be was not opposed ? to hoi . ? -acing as such, but was em phatically against the bookmaking! feature, and hoped that the Legisla ture of the State would enact a meas uro to prevent it. Representative D. E. Kinley said; that lie, too, was opposed to gani-! hiing, and hoped that horse racing with that feature attached would be' prohibited in South Carolina. Ho said that if any such racing were permitted on the grounds of the ..State l'air Association, the manage-j nient would be acting without au thority. He said this as a member of the association.

Equitable lii?S?\S Splendid HOIUC Six Liven Lost in Fire. New York, Jan. 10.-The Immense tnarhle mid graulte home of tile Equitable Life Assurance Society, covering a whole, block in lower Broadway, an historic landmark of New York's early period of skyscrap er buildings, and one of the city's Im portant financial centers, was yester day destroyed by tire, with ll loss of six lives and probably $6,000,000 In property. A dozen persons were In jured. Valuable records, including the au tobiography ol' IO. H. I larriman and two priceless libraries, which can not, bo replaced, went up in (lames, and the fate of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of securities, stored in safety deposit vaults, was for sev eral hours In question, although it was believed fireproof construction had saved them. Business Suspended, Fought in the heart of tin? finan cial district, tho lire upset the finan cial machinery of Wall street and business practically was suspended throughout the day. The great structure, which, be sides containing the main o til COS of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, was the home of the Mercantile Trust Company, the Equitable Trust Company, tho banking house of Kountze Bros..

Besides involving heavy financial loss and serious disturbance of big business interests. f.he fire was spec tacula r. The intense cold acted almost in stantly upon the water poured on the flames, and a thick Ice coating speed ily formed on the facades of tower ing skyscrapers adjacent and upon pavements for blocks around. Raved (he District. The bulwark of modern fireproof structures nearby, according to Fire] Commissioner Johnston, was Invalua ble as a protection to the entire ll-? nancial district. As it was, the dam age, except by water, was confined entirely to the Equilablo structure. Ol' those who lost their lives, three men were killed by jumping from a coping nt' the roof of the structure, to which tliey were tl riven by the j flames. They were employees in the building. Battalion Chief Wm. J. Walsh dis appeared when a cave-in occurred on the thinl floor. No trace of his body hail been found at this hour. Two other men. Wm.

More than $r>0.00n.n00 In stocks anti bonds was recovered from one of the smaller vaults in the burnell Equitable Life Assurance Society building lato to-day, but ' probably will be a week- perhaps longer- be fore the great vaults of tho society and tho Mercantile Safe Deposit Co. give up their half billion or more in securities. Further examination of the gaunt. Ice-shrouded building, swept on Tuesday by fire, showed more conclusively this afternoon that the vaults are intact. In tho opin ion ol' those who made *ho inspection their contents will suffi little, If at all But. buried as they are under hundreds of tons of Ice and debris, i> may be a matter of weeks before it <A ill be advisable lo open them, fiimrded Day anti Night. Meanwhile securities variously es timated in value from a half billion to a billion and ii half dollars can not bo reached. Special guards have been thrown about the building, anti day and night they will koop watch to see that no unauthorized person enter tile ruins. The smaller vaults ot' the Mercan tile Trust Company were the ones reached this afternoon. As soon as it was seen thai they could bo mi tered, fifty clerks were dispatched ' from the Bankers' Trust Company, ? a few blocks away, to transfer the securities. Between $50,000,000 and $70.000,000 in stocks anti bonds ' wore removed. .Mere (.'ness Work.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13.-Mnggbts masquerading successfully as hook worms. And that right here in At lanta, center of, the Rockefeller com mission activities. Gan you beat it? Dr. A. (?. Fort, of this city, and one of the oxpci ts now engaged In Invos tlgntlng hookworm conditions in the South, couldn't heat lt, hut ho could stop it. and he did, mighty quick. A well known store on Peachtree street advertised that it had somo real, live hookworms in a bottle on exhibition in Its window. Several well-known Atlanta physicians were mentioned, who had observed the hookworms, lt was said, and consid ered them a marvellously Interesting exhibit. Then Dr. Port went to look at them. Imagine his amazement when he found they were nothing but com mon maggots. "Who said these were hookworms?" he demanded. "Why, Dr. So and So, and So and So." responded tho owner of tho store, naming some well-known names. Dr. Fort got to tho telephone and called up the first ono whoso name he had heard. "Is it. true that you know something about tho 'hook worms' down here In this window?" "Why, what havo I got to do with that?" answered tho doctor. "You've got this much to do with lt: Your professional reputation ls at stake. Do you mean to tell mo that you saw those things and you thought they were hookworms?" The doctor began to smell a mouse and hastily admitted that, he hadn't really seen them at all. None of tho other physicians would stand sponsor for the maggots either, when called to taw, so they were removed from the window. Dut before they were removed I thousansd of Interested Atlantans had gazed In awe at the llttlo mag got8 and supposed them to be real specimens of the remarkable worm whoso scentiflc name sounds just like "OOHS Nercyusis," but which Isn't j spelled that way. Pasturing Wheat and Outs. ( Progressive Farmer.) I A correspondents asks if pasturing 1 oats and wheat doe:; not lessen tho j j yield of the grain i.ops. When these cereals arc sowed for j I grain or seed this is the Important point to keep in view and the pas turing must be done at such time and in such manner as to avoid in jury to the yield. The injudicious pasturing of oats or wheat, may re duce the yield, but on tho other hand, there may be conditions under which pasturing will not reduce the1 i yield, if indeed, it. does not actually Increase thc yield of grain. Oats are the most susceptible of all the fall cereals to injury from freez ing, and in order to guard against this and obtain the greatest yields, they must be sowed early in tho fall, so that they will make considerable growth and obtain a good root before j heavy freezes come. When this early seeding is made and the fall wea ther proves favorable they may make so large a growth ns to Ix; actually benefited by pasturing, if Ibis is done judiciously. In fact, if the oats are to be pastured, they should bo sowed early and the pasturing should only take place after they have made a good growth. It is not only Im portant, that the pasturing cease suf ficiently early In the spring to ena ble the crop lo mature under tho most favorable conditions, but at. no time should they be pastured so closely as to expose them to greater danger from severe frosts. The chief Injuries from pasturing arc (1) too closo pasturing during severe weather, I hus exposing t ho plants to greater danger of winter killing; f 2 ) too late pasturing in tho spring, thus retarding the maturity of the crop and exposing lt to danger of unfavorable weather conditions; and ('.'>) pasturing during wet wea ther, thus causing injury from tramp ing. If the oats aro sowed early and make a good growth, pasturing will not red ?leo Ibo yield if discontinued early enough in the spring, if they nro not grazed loo closely and Ibo Stock aro kopi off heavy lands when they are wet.

DETECTIVE BUHNS IS OLEARE?. Acquitted of Charge of Kidnapping. Mis Work Complimented. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 12.-Com plimented by Ibo Federal Cotirt for having "rendered a great sorvi?e to his country," Wm. J. Mums, the de tective, was released from tho chargo of having kidnapped John J. McNa mara, tho convicted dynamiter. AM tho charges in tho Indictments against Mums for having captured thc labor leaders in Indianapolis last April were held to be null and void. "If I or this court had had any thing to do with the arrest of Mr. Burns In this instance 1 should cer tainly now tender him an apology," said Judge A. M. Anderson In dismiss ing the Indictments brought by tho county grand jury under which tho detective bad been hold lu $10,000 ball. "Tho order which tho court shall enter will make lt Impossible for any prosecutions to be brought under tho Indictments." The court hold that when Hums and James lloslok, a dotectivo of Los Angeles, arrested McNamara on a re quisition from tho Governor or Cali fornia and honored by tho Governor of Indiana, they acted legally under tho Federal statutes and any conflict in the Federal law which made lt pos slblo to bring an Indictment, was not constitutional. Tho Federal Constitution and Con gress, tho court said, had delegated to the Governors of tho States tho power of honoring requisitions for fugitives from justice, and the indi ana Legislature had no legal right to take this power from tho Governor. Judge Anderson Indicated that If Hoslck, who also was Indicted, peti tioned for release, tho release would bo granted. $100 Howard, $100.
