ATLANTIC city Block in Business Section of the City Totally Destroyed. The Loss is List of the Buildings Estimated at $200,000— Burned. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., October 8.—The most costly block of amusement buildings and stores on the beach front was de- stroyed by fire early this morning within two hours of the time the fire broke out. Twenty buildings, occupied by about fifty business establishments, were burned and a half dozen families were rendered home- less. The loss is estimated at $200,600. For a time the fire threatened to get be- yond the control of the local fire depart- ment and assistance was asked from Cam- den and Philadelphia. An hour later two steamers reached here from Camden, but the request ‘for the engines from Philadel- phia was canceled before they had been placed on the train. The burned district covers the block ex- tending from Tennessee to New York ave- nues and from Ocean avenue to the beach front. In the confines of the block were lo- cated two large merry-go-rounds valued at 220,000 each; two of the largest bric-a-brac emporiums in the city, each carrying a stock valued at nearly $5,000, and tite Pal- ace Amusement building, recently erected ait a cost of $30,000. Considerable ware and bric-a-brac in the two large emporiums were saved, but the caroussel buildings, with their contents, with the exception of the orchestrions, were totally destroyed. Wilmington Factory Burned. WILMINGTON, Del., October §.—Ladman & Hickman’s five-story morocco factory was gutted by fire late last night. The fire is supposed to have originated in the boiler room. The loss will reach $30,000 and is covered by Insurance. ————— PARIS PEACE COMMISSION. The Spaniards Have Already Outlin- ed Their Expectations. PARIS, October 8—The United States peace commissioners began their usual three hours’ sessions at 10 o'clock this morning. They are understood to have taken into consideration direct suggestions and counter propositions from the Span- iards, of which the Americans now have enough to engage their attention at the daily session. It may be regarded as quite likely that the Spaniards have already out- lined their apparent expectations and that they are beyond the line of possible ac- quiescence by the Americans. ‘The latter are now acting along well-considered lines, consistently and with a definite end in view. They have to some degree disclosed American ‘expectation and determination. The Spaniards, however, seem unable or unwilling to understand or believe the Americans have at the outset set forth their requirements and that they are des- tined to remain virtually unchanged by finesse or counter-diplomacy. While the Philippines have not yet been reached in the deliberations, this question is doubtless relatively not far distant, and at that point is likely to come to the full stress of the diplomatic controversy. Referring to the Philippine phase of the negotiations the Gaulois today says: “The question was somewhat touched upon, though not discussed, yesterday: but there was enough to indicate serious diffi- culties when it does come up.’ — + THE COMING HOT SEASON. FEAR Surgeons in the Philippines Expect More Sickness There. SAN FRANCISCO, October 8.—The trans- port Ohio, which left Manila on the same day as the Valencia, has arrived, but owing to quaraniine regulations no mail :at‘er bas been landed. The Valeacia left Manila a few days a the departure of the China. She reports that nothing of importance had happened in the Philippines up to the time of her sailing. The hot and dry weather was ccming on, and some of the army doctors were apprehersive lest the health of the troops in Manila may not be si during the previous rainy season. Several cases of malarial and typhoid fever had developed, and the sickness was attributed to the bad water supply. The volunteer troops stationed Philippines are anxious to return now that the war is over. es | RAISE TROOP: Minnexota Governor Tired of Nego- tinting With War Department. MINNEAPOLIS, Mirn., October 8.—The government has notified Goy. Clough that it has revoked the order putting the com- panies of the 14th Minnesota. Volunteers a Duluth and at St. Paul under his orde He had all preparations made to send the Duluth companies to the front at once to protect the settlers, and was arranging to mobilize the remaining companies at St. Paul. He supposes that the revocation is due to Gen. Bacon’s message saying that the trouble was over and that there was no more danger. He added “‘I shall pay no more attention to the War Department. “It necessary I will issue a call for vol- unteers, arm them with such guns as I can pick up and let the government go to the devil. I am tired of doing business with Washington. ‘There is too much red tape about it. Orders are issued one minute and revoked the next. I am not an alarmist, but it is the safe thing to be prepared. It will reassure the settlers and perhaps pre- vent an outbreak.” The governor has received a message from Mayor John H. Nevers of Brainerd, saying: “I have just returned from Walker. Indians concentrating at Leech lake in large numbers. Think they held council last night, Situation looks grave.” w.

The area of the fever has so enlarged that infec- tion may be said to be general throughout the state, as there is not a section that has not been visited. Three interstate rail- roads have practically suspended business, and several short lines are on the verge of a temporary shut down, due to the lack of trade. Twenty thousand or more people have hurriedly left the state and are refu- seeing in northern cities, eagerly awaiting the approach of cold weather. The disease continues to increase steadily in Jackson, the state capital. Since Sep- tember 27 there have been 44 cases there, of which 24 were negroes. Only 5 deaths have been reported since the beginning. The weather for the past 36 hours has been considerably cooler throughout the state. es TRIAL TRIP OF THE KASAGI, New Japanese Cruiser Ready for Her Voyage to England. PHILADELPHIA, October 8—The new Japanese cruiser Kasagi left Cramps’ ship- yard early this morning for a short run out to cea, under command of the mikado's own officers and crew. The Kasagi has left the builder's hands and has been ready for some days to leave for England, where she is to obtain her guns and have them mounted. It was considered advisable to have the vessel make a trip to sea with the Japanese officers and crew in charge before starting on the trip across the Atlantic. ——— Nominated for Congress: Sed Ohio, October 8.—The republicans of the fourth district nomin.

CARLINVILLE, Ill, October 8.—Sheriff Davenport today called on the governor for troops to preserve order in Virden, where coal miners are on strike. At Springfield yesterday Operator Luck- ens, Sheriff Davenport and Secretary W. D. Ryan of the State Miners’ Union held a conference with Lieut. Gov. Northcoit, the acting state magistrate. Luckens asked to have troops sent to Virden, but Acting Governor Northcott declined to do so, say- ing there was no present necessity, He said, however, that troops will be furnish- ed by the staie if Sheriff Davenport called for them. z Today, when Sheriff Davenport returned to Carlinville, he learned that while some striking miners had left Virden, more were coming in from Mount Olive and other min- irg towns. Several deputies had been driven out of Virden, and the sheriff thought the presence of troops was neces- sary to preserve order there. He accord- ingly made his request to the governor. a LEAGUE ISLAND AFFAIRS, Lieut. Knapp's Report Being Consid- ered by Secretary Long. Seeretary Long now has under considera- tion a report made hy Lieutenant Knapp of the navy upon an investigation secretly conducted into the administration of af- fairs at the League Island navy yard. The charges affect several of the leading offi- cials, in the case of the civilians the mat- ters charged being grave, such as violation of nearly all of thg civil service rules and inancial irregwlarlifes, while in the case of naval officers gyoss pegligence was invol but no moral ;urpikud: The Secretary will decide whether there shall be legal procegdings in the matter. ———— FOR THE NAVAL MILITIA, ‘The Fern inito Be Brought Up From * Norfolk. Secretary Lépg tbday ordered that the U.S.S. Fern, y@w at Norfolk, be brought to Weshingtoy, ang turned over to the Naval Battalion of the District National Guard.

Seventeen men killed and S# casualties all told were the loss suffered by the United states navy during the war. The figures have just been compiled at the Navy De- partment, and they pres:nt some curious features. For instance, in Dewey's great fight in Manila bay not a man was killed, and every one of the nine men wounded was able to return to duty and did return. In the battle of Julv 3. off Santiago, wh the Spanish fleet made its desperate at- tempt to run the gauntlet of the North At- lantic fleet, one man was killed, and there were eleven casualties altogether. In that fight, also, every one of the ten men wounded returned to duty. The loss suffered in the attack upon the forts at the entrance 40 Santiago by the American fleet June 22 was slightly larger than in the case of the great naval battle of July 3, for while the list of killed was the same, nam>- ly, one sailor, eleven men were the subjects of casualties, and only seven of these wre able to return to duty subsequently. The heaviest loss of the war. so far as the navy was concerned, was at Guantanamo bay, when the gallant Marine Corps mad> the first landing on Cuban soil in the face of a greatly superior force of Spanish troops. Th2re were twenty-two casualties in that 100-hour fight, and of the list six marines were killed. Of the sixteen wound- ed men, nine returned to duty, three were invalided from the sarvice and four con- tinue under treatment. Next after Guantanamo, the battle with the forts and gunboats off Cienfuegos caused the greatest number of casuulties, the list aggregating twelve, with one man killed. Another man died subsequently from wounds, nine returned to duty and one continues under treatment. More fatal in its results, though the casu- alty list was only eight, was the flerce bat- tle between the torpedo boat Winslow, ccmmanded by Lieut. Bernadou, and the little rev cutter Hudson with the Span- ish land batteries and artillery forces at Cardenas. Of the eight casualties five were deaths, though three wounded men after- ward returned to duty. This fight stands next to the marines’ battle at Guantanamo as the most fatal of the war so far as the navy was concerned. In the bombardment of San Juan the casualties numbered eight, with one man killed. One of the wounded men was in- valided home, while six returned to duty. There were four other casualties, occur- ring in as many separate engagements, and that completes the list of naval lo: 3 These were: One man killed on the Ban- croft, August 2; one on the Amphitrite, August 6; one man wounded on the Eagle, July nd one on the Yankee, August 11. Of the total aumber of men wounded in the war (sixty-seven), fifty-four were turned to duty, one died of wounds, Were invalided from the service continued under treatment. Considering results obtained, number of casualti six and six the small said to be the most remarkable in the naval history of the world. ———_——__+-» ELL SHAW ACQUITTED.

Y., warrants for bigamy and aban- donment, says that the whole thing is a blackmailing scheme. He was arraigned in Center strect court this morning. Before his case was called Maxim said that the woman causing him the trouble is Helen Leighton, but he intimated that there was another woman in the case with her. He said that fifteen years ago he met the Leighton woman on the Bowery in this city. He said that he was then living on Union street in Brooklyn with his wife and children. He stated that the same kind of a suit was instituted against him in Philadelphia at that time. The case, he said, was dismissed because the Leighton woman failed to appear in court. He said he had heard nothing of her or from her since that time. Maxim said that he has been traveling in Maine and Massachusetts for two months and is going back to London as soon as he can. es STRIKE SITUATION IN PARIS. Some of the Men Returned to Work This Morning. , PARIS, Octcber 8.—The situation is im- preving this merning. Some of the strikers are returning to work at the exposition grounds and other places. LONDON, October 8—The Times corra- spendent at Paris telegraphed today that the striking laborers last night rejected the municipal couneil’s proposals looking to a settlement of the strike, and that nearly all the unions and the men at work upon the greater part of the buildings in course of erection have decided to join in the strike. SS PRAISES HIS MEN. GEN. BACO) They Were Nearly All Recruits, but Fought Like Veterans. WALKER, Minn., October 8.—General Bacon speaks in the highest terms of praise of the conduct of his men in their fight with the Bear Island Indians. No soldiers ever put up a gamer figh’ he said, ‘and considering that four-fifths of the men were recruits, their showing was one that every soldier may feel proud of. The new men were entirely unfamiliar with Krag-Jorgensens, and when we were attacked it developed that many of them actually did rot know how to load their pieces. I had myself shown several men how to load. But they fought like vet- erans.”” Of the entire company but twelve or fif- teen were old soldiers. The men were as full of praise for their officers, and the officers are for the men. PRIVATE CHARL!I A. GILL DEAD. Member of the Sixth immunes, Whose Home is in This City.

SS ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. Auxillary Attends Vener- able Christ Church. Evening Star Burean, No. 727 King Street, Beil Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 8, 1898. Old historic Christ Church, in this city, Woman's where Washington and Lee worsaiped, and associated with which are so many im- portant events in Virginia annals, was filled this morning with members of the Woman’s Auxiliary, now holcing its tri- ennial conclave in Washington, invited by the Virginia board of the Wor Auxil- lary, of which Miss Sallie Stuart of this city is president. The pulpit and rostrum were beautifully decoraied with plants and flowers, and, as the da: as dark, the church was lighted in old colontal fashion with candles. Bishop Gibson, coadjutor of Virginia, opened the services with prayer. Addresses were made by Bishop McKim of Japan, who spoke particularly of mi: sionary work in Tokio, and Bishop Grave of China, who said foreign missions owed a great debt to Virginia, and especially to the Virginia Seminary, near Alexandria. She had sent many sons to foreign fields, and her course had been an inspiration to other like institutions. The speaker dwelt with force upon the fact that in China the reat need of missions was not so muc! men as it was women. A set of conditions, social and political, had made this so. In the churches, he said, men predominated because the women could not be approach- ed by a clergyman. Here, declared the bishop, is a great field for consecrated, able, educated women, and if the Woman's Auxiliary did net take up the work it would be gullty of gross dereliction. Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma and the ven- erable Bishop Whipple of Minnesota also made addresses. A reception was held after the service in Christ Church Chapel, and a dinner served later on at Odd Fellows’ Hall. Representative Babcock Indorsed.
