The fire started at 5:95 o'clock p. m. in the premi;:s of M. Saxe & Soms, whole- sale clothifrs, at Lemoine and St. Peter Streets. The streets in the locality were deserted at the time and the fire apparent- ly bad good headway before the first | alarm was sent in. The firemen found the | building, a three-story stone structure, a mass of flames. The flames soon lea) across St. Peter street, which is very narrow at this p and attacked the big five-story stone building occupled by Al & Sons Company, dealers in fancy goods. Here it spread as rapidly as it had in the Saxe building.

For a long time the efforts of the brigade were successful, a plentiful supply of water keeping the ex POT tions cool. But the flames extended | all along the north side of St. Paul street, oing west from Sliverman, Bolton & 0.’s, licking up half a dozen concerns in its way, untll it reached the big wholesale fur establishment of James Coristine & Co. This bullding extended all the way from St. Paul street to the Board of Trade building and the flames appeared to go through it like a tinder box. When the rear wall of this building was reached it was seen that the Board of Trade would nave to go too. Solid sheets | of flame sprang out and up and seized | hold of the big building In a dozen dif- | ferent places, driving the firemen back. The newer and more modern structure burned more slowly than those which ai- ready had fallen prey to the flames, but the firemen could not stay the march of | the devouring .element. | From the north side of St. Paul| street the flames leaped across the street | and destroy the premises of Thomas Davidscn & Co.. the dry goods establish- | ment of H.

Grosverer Fears That the Remark May Be Misunderstcod by Em- peror William and Disturb Friendly Relations’ WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—The House to- day passed the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill and -entered upon consid- Several provisions of the bill were defeat- ed on points of order, including that to give warrant officers the commutation for quarters allowed second lieutenants of the marine corps. A point of order was sus- tained against an amendment to Increase the number of chaplains in the navy from twenty-four to thirty-four. After the passage of the District of Co- lumbia appropriation bill the Senate res- olution for the celebration of John Mar- shall day, February 4, was adopted. The House then took up the naval ap- propriation bill. Foss of Illineis, chair- man of the Naval Committee, explained its salient features. He said that the American navy was larger than the Ger- man navy and was keeping a little ahead of it. Grosvenor cf Ohlo said he consid- ered this remark unfortunate and capable of misconstruction. America, he said, was friendly with Germany, and there was no reason why toat country should be singled out for the purpese of compar- ison. Foss disclaimed any idea thh: the Government was directing its - ward keeping ahead of Germany. He had simply stated a fact. He believed in 2 strong and efficient navy, not so large as England’s, but of moderate size, built on conservative lines and capabie of uphold- ing the honor of the country and the flag. Richardson of Tennessee, the minority leader, called attention to the fact that the bill “‘carries an increase of 312,000,000 time of profound peace.” “This bill carries $5,000,000 for carrying on work previously authorized,” inter- posed Dayton of West Virginia, ~and $3,- 009,000 for rehabilitation of the naval acad- emy. That may be,” answered Richardson, ut last year the bill carried $13,00,000 more than the bill for the previous year. Last year the size of the bill was apolo- glzed for. What I desire to emphasize is that year by year there come these great increases for the navy. The present bill is $20,000,000 larger than the bill of two years'ago.” After completing five ty-eight of the bill the journed. GREEK LETTER SOCIETY GIRL BRANDED FOR LIFE With Nitrate of Silver Letters Are Burned on Her Forehead and the Scars Will Remain. WICHITA.
