HOSTILE TO ZELAYA. Growing Feeling Against the Nica- raguan Government. Kingston, Jam., Dec. 5.—Passengers by yesterd. Ss steam from Nicar- aguan ports say that there is a grow- ing feeling of hostility toward Presi- dent Zelaya on account of his recent e expelling Mgr. Pereira, bishop caragua, in reply to the latter’s protest against the law passed by the Nicaraguan congress on Oct. 14 declar- ing that all donations by the people of lands, cattle or other property to the church should be subject to the civil government and be sold and applied to the purposes designated by the donors by the municipal governments instead, as before, by the ecclesiastical authori- ties. Although President Zelaya is very popular with the Nicaraguan masses the edict of expulson is regard- ed as harsh in the extreme, and the president's political opponents are im- proving the present occasion to bring about a revulsion of popular feeling ‘by ‘taking advantage of the powerful undercurrents of clerical influence.

St. Paul, Dec. 2—One-third of Griggs, Cooper & Co.’s wholesale grocery house, on Third street, was burned last night with a loss of about $150,- 000. A desperate battle by the firemen kept the fire from passing the barrier of the fire wall that saved the western portion of the building. The fire was discovered at 10 o'clock, and by mid- night there was nothing left of the east third of the building but the roof- less shell. The fire started in the second story of the building in a part used by the firm for making crackers in connection with its manufacturing department. The alarm was given by a policeman, The night-watehman of the building had been in the vicinity of the origin of the fire shortly before it was dis- covered and everything was then all right. The fire had gained consider- able headway before it was discovered and when the fire department arrived flames were bursting from the win- dows of the second floor. A general alarm was sent in and soon all the apparatus in the city was engaged in the fierce battle with the flames. ‘The floor upon which the fire origin- ated and the two stories above it were filled with light, inflammable material, and the Games spread with remarkable rapidity. The whole interior was a raging furnace and fiames shot up in the air to a great height. The firemen realized the futility of attempting to queteh this seething cauldron and de- voted their greatest efforts to prevent- ing the fire from eating through the fire wall to the other parts of the building. Within an hour from the time the fire was discovered the east third of the building was completely gutted and the reof and part of one of the wal's fell, fortunately. without injuring any one. The heroic and ably directed efforts of the firemen alone saved the remain. der of the building from destruction. It was one of the hardest-fought bat- tles against the fiery element that St. Paul has witnessed for many years. The firemen continued until morning to pour streams of water into the burn- ing ruins. It is estimated that the loss on the stock and building will reach approxi- mately $150,000, about $35,000 on the building and from $115,000 to $120,000 on the contents. The less is partially covered by insurance. Almost eight years ago the same firm suffered the loss of their entire stock and the total destruction of the build- ing, their loss at that time being $350,- 000. Peculiar Shooting Fatality.
