Where the Hotel Formerly Stood.
NEW YORK, March IS,— Throughout
the incessant rain, today, their efforts
hindered by a choking smoke that arose
from the half quenched ruins, more than
200 men from the building, police and
fire departments, sought, but with only
half satisfying results, for bodies of per
sona believed to have perished in yes
terday's fire at the Windsor hotel.
Most of the time this smoke was so
dense that the workmen couM scarcely
see their hands before their faces, and
the heat from the mass of debris, glowing
red In places, held the rescuers almost
beyond its limits. Besides, the remnants
of the walls left standing were so shaky
and threatening that it would have been
dangerous to allow the men to work
about the mass of riveted iron and
brick.
Efforts were concentrated on clearing
away the debris, removing weak walls,
digging the chimneys and other parts of
the walls for blasting, and making the
ruins safe for the men to dig in. No
more bodies were taken from the ruins
today. The estimate is sixteen dead;
, Bixty-six missing and fifty-seven injured.

THE IMPERIALISTIC FUTURE
OF THE UNITED STATES.

Copyright by the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 18.— The newspapers
this week reprinted the interview had
with Mr. Cecil Rhodes on the subject of
American Imperialism. The remarks of
Mr. Rhodes on America's future have
attracted a great deal of attention. The
Spectator, however, Buggests that . the
energy of the Americans may not prove
persistent enough for the vast task of
conquest and occupation which the South
African statesman sets before them,
adding:
"Their system, though It produces men
of ability, Is probably not favorable to
the development of a meteoric genius,
and without such a man the work can
hardly be done rßpidly. Elating up
South Ajnerica like an artichoke, state
by state, is a task to overstrain any peo
ple, even the Americans. The carrying
out of the work, too, might bring to a
head the great danger of the United
States— the difference In the ideal and
permanent tendency between the North
and South.
"It is true that the state system of
America is a wonderful Bystem of em
pire; but it -holds also a wonderful pro
vision for disintegration. The North may
refuse to persist in a career of conquest
which wearies it, and, with Canada, may
elect to form a republic with another
ideal than governing, which, although
attractive, wears out the surplus energy
of the governors. If any one tells us
the United States will expand to the
straits of Magellan, in spite of them
selves, we may believe him. But if he
says, as Mr. Rhodes says, that this ex
pansion will be deliberate, we shall hes
itate, and ask for evidence that they
wish the expansion to last."
MR. RHODES' PERSONALITY.
Mr Rhodes' striking personality stood
out in bold relief this week against the
political background of minor interest.
The press of three countries— Great Bri
tain, Germany and France— was full of
him. His visit to Berlin marks an im
portant onward step in the Anglo-Ger
man understanding, and the French pa
pers realize this, and that the idea that
the assistance of Germany eventually be
counted upon in a war between France
and Great Britain is preposterous. The
Figarro sees in Mr. Rhodes' reception at
Berlin sure proof of a secret convention
between Great Britain and Germany,
while the Temps says:
"Frankly, it is impossible to overrate
its importance. It is plain proof of the
emperor's desire for approachment with
Great Britain, and the power and weight
of such a combination cannot be exag
gerated. It ought to furnish food for
reflection for those who fancied that
France only had to make overtures in
order to bring Germany to her feet, and
who, acting under this delusion, have
been striving to bring about a rupture
with Great Britain."
Mr. Rhodes, however, has not yet ar
remged a hard and fast agreement re
specting the Cape to Cairo railroad. Po
litically Mr. Rhodes and the emperor have
agreed; but financially their agreement
is hanging fire, and the negotiations be
tween Mr. Rhodes and a German syndi
cate respecting financing the German por
tion of the railroad have not yet been
concluded, though Mr. Rhodes has ex
pressed the hope that an early agree
ment will be arrived at. '
It further appears that Mr. Rhodes ex
pressed astonishment at the German em
peror's surprising knowledge of the de
tails of the matter, and German official
quarters in their turn were surprised at
Mr. Rhodes' candid allusions to future
political projects, including an Anglo-
German partition of Portugal's East Af
rica possessions which Mr. Rhodes fully
expects Portugal will be willing to sell to
the two powers within three years. At
present Mr. Rhodes is at Amsterdam ar
ranging for the financial support of the
Dutch financiers.
Dealing with the report that an ar
rangement has been arrived at between
the three powers on the subject of Samoa
the Morning Post today says:
"It is a mintake to suppose that the
whole question to In a sure way to satis
factory settlement. This is Impossible
while the Berlin act remains in force,
and as the present would be a most unde
sirable moment to make a change it may
be assumed that things would be patched
up for a while. Just now, when the re
lations between Great Britain and the
United States and Germany are the most
friendly in many years, it would never
do to run the risk of a sudden rupture.
Perhaps the difficulty will solve itself.
At any rate the Australian federation
should assist In the solution, as not only
will the federation increase the interest
of Australia In Samoa, but in any diplo
matic negotiations in the future federat
ed Australia will greatly strengthen the
case for Great Britain."
The Indian government bill, imposing
counterveillng duties on bounty-fed sug
ar, has caused a flutter in Radieal-Cob
denlte articles. It is frankly and avow
edly a protectionist measure.
Mr. Henry Labouchere, in Truth, calls
the bill a "contemptible and iniquitous
measure," and says: "The government is
going to try an Indian, reactionary, pro
tectionist policy which it would not dare
to introduce at home. The bill may be
the first step towards a general system
of protection which will destroy our com
mercial supremacy once for all."
The pope has just indulged in a joke
at the expense of Cardinal Oreglia Di
Santo Stefano, who, as cardinal cham
berlain of the church and prefect of the
congregation of ceremonial, has to make
sure that the pope is dead by tapping him
three times on the forehead with a little
silver hammer. When Cardinal Santo
Stefano was summoned to the Vatican
in hot haste, on the first news of the
illness of the pontiff, he put the hammer
In his pocket, in case it might be needed.
The story reached the pope's ears and,
' on afterwards receiving the cardinal, his
holiness thanked him, commended his
foresight and said:
"And as a token of our sincere appre
ciation of your thoughtful attention we
ask your eminence to accept this little
golden hammer as a souvenir of our re
covery."
A millionaire named Alfred Stern, son
of the late Baron Stern, was declared in
sane yesterday. He is said to be worth
$15,000,000, and recently created a disturb
ance at Maryborough house, the town
residence of the Prince of Wales, under
the hallucination that he Is the Prince
of Wales.
WITHOUT A SENATOR.
Probable Final Adjournment of Cal.
Ifornla Legislature.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 18.— The
104 th ballot for United States senator was
without choice, and the joint convention
adjourned, after being In session sixty
consecutive hours, during which time
nineteen ballots were taken. The pro
ceedings were marked with much confu
sion, the lobby invading the floor of the
assembly chamber. At the end of the
seventh ballot today a resolution pro
viding that, when twelve or more ballots
had been taken, adjournment be taken
sine die, was adopted by the close vote
of 61 to 58. The nineteenth ballot today
gave the following result: Total number
of votes cast, 120; nea c *sary to choice. 61.
Barnes (Rep.), 18; Estee (Rep.}, 1; Burns
(Rep.), 30; Grant (Rep.), 30; Scott (Rep.),
4; Patterson (Rep.), 4; Devries (Dem.),
1; Phelan (Dem.), 6; White (Dem.), 24;
Rosenfeld (Dem.), 2.
The journal for the day was then read
and Speaker Flint declared the joint as
sembly adjourned. The legislature, by
current resolution already adopted, ad
journed at midnight.
Unless the resolution adjourning, the
assembly be set aside, no ballot for sen
ator can be taken. It is not thought that
the action suggested can- be taken, as the
same vote which supported the resolu
tion would be cast against an attempt to
reconsider it.
STARS SEPARATE.
The Potter-BelleTV Combination Is
a Tiling of the Paat.
NEW YORK, March 18.— Mrs. James
Brown Potter and Kyrle Bellew have
agreed to part as co-stars. Word has
been received by a friend of Mr. Bellew
In this city that he has signed a contract
with Henry Irving to appear as leading
man in the production of "Robespierre"
in London, and to accompany the Irving-
Terry combination in the tour in this
country next season.
It was also learned from Mr. Bellew di
rect that Mrs. Potter has signed a two
years' contract to appear with Beerbohm
Tree's company in London, and come
with It to this country, if the proposals
made by managers to Mr. Tree are ac
cepted.
The breaking of the dramatic partner
ship between Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bel
lew was not unexpected here.

SATURN'S NEW SATELLITES.
Protf. Pickering, of Harvard, Makes
a. Rare Discovery.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 18. — A
new satellite of the planet Saturn has
been discovered by Prof. W. H. Picker

lite is three and a half times as distant
from Saturn as lapetus, the outermost
satellite hitherto known. The period is
about seventeen months and the magni

among the satellites of Saturn was made
in September, 1848, by Prof. George B.

| Spain's Remainlno Fleet Salutes me flmerican Flag. |

Nothing Stronger Than Tea—At
torney General Re»ents an Ugly
Insinuation by Mr. Archliold.
NEW YORK. March 18.— The hearing
in the case of the attorney general of
Ohio against the Standard Oil company
was continued here today, with John D.
Archbold, of the Standard Oil company,
on the stand. Mr. Archbold, replying to
Mr. Monett, said the Standard Oil com
pany of Ohio. 1b carrying out the order
of the Ohio court t"> withdraw from the
Standard Oil trust, as speedily as possi
ble.
' "Was not the entire interest of the
liquidating trustees committed to one^
attorney?" asked Attorney Flagg, for the
complainant, "and did he not vote for all
their interests in the stockholders' meet
ings?"
"The liquidating trustees," he said,
"have never voted since the dissolution
of the trust. Before that they did vote
for officers of the Standard Oil com
pany."
A number of other questions were ask
ed as to the duties of the liquidating
trustees, and then Mr. Kline, for the
Standard Oil company, objected to Mr.
Flagg asking questions after the attor
ney general had completed his examina
tion. Commissioner Brinsmade ruled that
only one lawyer should conduct the oross
examination.
"Did the officers of the company make
any reports of the board of trustees of
the trust company, after the decree of
1892?" asked Mr. Monett.
"I object," said Mr. Kline.
Commissioner Brinsmade told Mr. Aroh
bold to reply, and he answered:
"I don't know what he means, and I
don't think he does."
"Did the defendant company know of
ficially of the* meeting of March 21, 1892,
when the trust was dissolved?" asked Mr.
Monett.
"I don't know," replied Mr. Archbold.
"I suppose some of us knew about it, in
dividually."
"Did the company oppose In any way
that resolution?'
" Whatever t action was taken by the
company was in careful compliance with
the ruling of the court."
"You evidently did not understand the
question," remarked Mr. Monett.
"Well, I'm not to blame for that," said
Mr. Archbold, and he requested his an
swer stand, when the question was re
peated :
"Was not the defendant company pres
ent at that meeting by some of its stock
owners?"
"Doubtless some of the stock owners
were present. I don't see any sense in
the question."
Nearly every question asked was met by
an objection from counsel. Mr. Monett
tried to show by the witness that the
Standard Oil company was as effectively
represented at the meeting of March
21, 1892, as it was at the formation of the
trust in 1882, but he could not frame a
question proof against the objections of
the counsel, and the ruling of the com
missioner. At last he gave up the at
tempt, and asked:
"To your knowledge has any act or
effort been made by the defendant com
pany to disentangle itself from the
trust, except to fall in with the resolu
tion passed on March 21, 1892?"
"The company is absolutely disentan
gled from the trust, and it has done no
act not In accord with absolute disentan
glement from the trust."
DETAILS LACKING.
"What has the defendant company
done to disentangle itself from the
trust?" asked the attorney general.
"It has been managed entirely inde
pendently of any suggestion from it, and
apart from it. It has acted entirely in
accordance with the order of the supreme
court of Ohio."
Mr. Monett took up the Archbold state
ment of yesterday, that the effect of the
selling at once of the trust certificates
by the liquidating trustees would have
been disastrous to the business general
ly and to the small shareholders who
could not have protected themselves.
Mr. Monett asked what shareholders
were meant.
"Holders of certificates of the Stand
ard Oil trust."
Mr. Archbold said yesterday that such
a sale would have thrown thousands of
laborers out of employment, and he was
asked how that would result.

"Is it not a rule of what you call a
liquidation that about three-sevenths of
the defendant's stock is still subject to
the disposal of your board of trustees?"
"It is not," replied Mr. Archbold. "Af
ter the liquidation there was no stock of
the corporation remaining in the hands of
the trustees, either in their hands or
under their control."

While Mr. Flagg was suggesting some

Mr. Archbold leaned his elbows on the

of terrific wind storms swept through
portions of Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas, today, doing an immense
amount of property damage, and killing
a number of people. The storms covered
a radius of several hundred miles, de
stroying telegraph wires and cutting oft
communication with a large part of the
affected country.
Cleburne county, Ala., seems to have
suffered the most severely, the storm
there assuming the proportions of a tor
nado. The reports of fatalities in the
county vary from six to twenty, and
many more are said to have been Injured.
At Sellers and Luverne, Ala., much
damage is reported, and at Rob Roy, '
Ark., one man was killed and several
were badly injured.
Dumas, Ark., was practically wiped out
of existence, and several other towns in
the vicinity suffered severely.
One person is reported killed at Hickory
Flat, Miss., and as the farm houses in
the vicinity suffered heavily, it is not
unlikely that many fatalities occurred
which have not yet been reported.
SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March IS.— A
cyclone passed through the country near
here, today, creating great havoc in the
country between Hefin and Edwardsville.
It is known that seven people, members
of the family of Mr. Coffee, a farmer, are
dead, and it is thought many others are
injured, although, on account of the dam
age done by the storm to the telegraph
wires, it is impossible to give details. The
house of Mr. Coffee contained eleven peo
ple when it was struck by the storm. The
building was entirely demolished, and
seven inmates were killed outright.
The path of the atorm was about twen
ty-five miles wide and it tore everything
to pieces that lay before it. The tele
graph wires and poles are down in every
direction, trains are delayed greatly on
account of debris piled on the tracks. It
is thought that great damage has been
done in the farming district, but it is not
believed that the cyclone struck any
town.
TOWN DESTROYED.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., March IS— A
cycline passed over different portions of
