In other words, the fire had about burned itself outand the fire department and twenty-nine engines ou the spot were pouring water on mountains of smouldering debris. A estimate of the diimace done places the amount at £300,000, or £1,500,000, but this is thought to be under the real amount. Two million dol- lars, it is said, may eventualiy prove to be the cost of the fire. THE FARM AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Rusk’s Views on Government Ex- maga ie Exposition.
