Our friend of the Ninona Democrat is
mistaken in saying that if Congress pass
the bill to refund this tax it will send
agents to the State for the purpose of ia
cilitating the collection of their claims
There is nothing in the pending bill nor
in the usage of the Government, to war
rant such an inference We have alrea-
dy pointed out as most Objectionable
provision of the bill that the Commission
to adiudicate claims shall sit in Wash
ington for the whole time (two years. its
functions continue, instead of holding a
session for stated period in each of the
Cotton States, so that it will be conve-
nient of access to the mass of producers
for whose benefit the bill should be pass
cd. If the Commission is to remain In
Washington, the producers who hold
small claims, will necessarily have to lose
heavily in paying for their collection. In
no event, is it likely to be provided that
agents will be authorized to facilitate the
collection of the claims. The holders
will have to pay something to have this
service performed for them, and the
probable cost of collection will depend
upon the convenience of the Commission
to the producers and the regulations
which they may adopt for obtaining evil
dence
1t is a great fault of the bill that the
1s 4
that its existence is limited to two years,
which viii not be time enough for deci-
ding the immense business that will come
before it. Ii the bill is to be passed,
and it is designed in good faith to restore
to the producers, monies that have been
wrongfully taken from them, we trust
that its friends Will divest it of the OBJ
iections we have mentioned.

In recent speech Senator Trumbull
charged that in the last seven years the
Navy Department had spent
the enormous sum of one hun
dred and sixty-one millions of dollars.
He declared openly and definitely, and
read the law to prove what he said, that
Secretary Robson had in the most fla
grant and illegal manner paid the Secor
claim of 1913, 600. He quoted the report
of the Senate Naval Committee on the
Secor claims, to show that this particular
one was expressly excluded.

Observations Off an Impartial
LOOker-Ou at Cincinnati.

Hon, J. H. McKie, of Lafayette
county, leading Democratic member
of our State Legislature, was present at
the Liberal Republican Convention in
Cincinnati, to observe the proceedings as
a quiet but vigilant looker-on, in order to
form his own opinion as to the animating
spirit of the Convention-the character
of its delegates--and of the numbers and
strength its constituency so far as they
could be judged by the delegates. The
result of his observations are communi-

Terrible COnJsa0rotion In Boston
The Wh0fe Business District
Burned. ~

terrible fire broke out in the city of Bos-
ton. at the corner of Kingston and Summer
streets, early ON last Saturday evening. 1t
rapidly extended in all directions and by ten
O'Clock was found to be the most serious that
had occurred for many years. 1t was in the
midst ofthe heavy dry-goodls stores of the city
and the losses We're already enormous. By
eleven o'clock the fire had traversed half mile,
and was spreading with frightfnli apidity. Fire
engines were sent from other cities. At mid
night the large Cathedral was burning, vessels
were on fire at the whawes, and the Hartford
and Erie Railroad depot was consumed. The
flames resisted all efforts to extinguish them,
the engines and extinguishers brought into
play being unavailing
AT one o'clock on Sunday morning all the
splendid granite warehouses on Franklin and
Winthrop Squares had been consumed, and
some of the newspaper Offices. The fire then
spread without check, until by four o clock on
Sunday morning almost the whole business
portion Of the city was burned. 1t was COM
pletc parallel to the destruction of Chicago
year ago.
Firemen with their engines rapidly arrived
from other cities, but they were unequal to
the work panic spread among the people,
and many were in such danger of their lives
that no effort was made. to save property
During the night it was determined to try to
stop the fire by blowing up buildings in it's
PATH and toward morning this course had a
good effect. AT that time the fire extended
over space not less than 900 acres.
1t was not until afternoon on Sunday that
the flames were got under control, and the full
extent of the ruin ascertained. The Mer-
chants Exchange and Post Office were burned
but Faneuil Hall was saved. The fire did not
seriously injure the part of the city occupied
by dwellings, but the commercial section is
nearly destroyed Almost every wholesale
establishment in the city is gone. The loss is
estimated at $S0000,00 to 800, 000 600, and
the insurance ut $40, 100000 to $12, DOC, 900.
Many persons were injured and several killed
The first reports of the destructive effects
were somewhat exaggerated, as was natural
from the terrible excitement and confusion
that prevailed. But the sober reality is apall-
ing enough. The fire fiend, in one huge and
greedy mouthful, has bitten out the business
heart of the city. The loss equals the destruc-
ton of five such cities as Trenton.
Yet this calamity, great as it is does not
approach in loss or direful effects the great fire
at Chicago. The loss in Boston is about $50,
600, 600; that at Chicago was over $500, 100000.
The area burned in Boston is about half mile
square I; the burnt district in Chicago was near
ly mile wide by five miles in length. In Bos-
ton but few are made homeless while in Chi
ed cut Of house and home. In Boston but few
lives We're lost; in Chicago over five hundred
persons are known to have persisted
