FROM WASHINGTON.
THE STAR ROUTE.
The Fugacious Spencer Gets a Flee in
His Ear.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.
In the Star Route trial this morning, Bliss
resumed his opening address to the jury, apol-
ogizing for the time already consumed by
him, and promising to conclude within an
hour.
Mr. Bliss stated that there was another
ex- Senator, also a carpet-bagger like Mr..
Dorsey Whose evidence he could not prom
ise with certainty to place before the jnry)
referring to Mr.. Spencer. He (Bliss) be-
lieved, however. that before the trial closed
Mr.. Spencer wopld conclude that it would be
better for him to come to Washington to tell
the TRUTH than subject himself to what must
be practically perpetual exile. The prosecu-
ton would show that the case was bristling
over with evidences of understanding be-
tween Brady and the other defendants and
then (having shown all these things) they
would leave the case with the jury, confident
that the jury would viadicate the cause of
honesty and of an honest administration OF
Justice in the District of Columbia. by rem
dering prompt verdict Of guilty against the
defendants.
Mr.. Jefferson Chandler then proceeded to
state to the jury the case of defence. He
spoke of the tyranny used in this prosecution
he hoped to be able to convince them that
this was an insincere prosecution; that il
had not been inaugurate1 and carried for
ward for public good; but that its animating
principle was malice. Adjourned.

SERIOUS FIRE IN BOSTON.
An Extensive Fire started i'm a Gun
shop DESTROYS esO, 900 in Property.

BosToS. Dec 49,
Three alarms have been sounded for fire
in five-story brick building. corner of New
Washington St. and Cornhill, occupied by
John p Lowell & Sons, dealers in fire arms,
powder and sporting goods, The fire was
caused BY an explosion, and for ten minutes
after the flames were seen, there was a ser
les of small explosions of cartridges, etc,
The fire is now blazing iercely through the
entire building, which will undoubtedly be
gutted, seeming to defy the efforts of the
fremen. 1t is reported that Mr.. Lowell and
another man, who were in the building at
the time of the explosion, are seriously in
jured.
At about midnight the fire was got under
control, having been confined to the building
in which it originated. 1t was caused by
gas from leaky pipe, igniting from the
furnace in the basement. The small quanti-
ty of powder in the building was removed by
the plucky firemen without accident. but
there was much apprehension at the first
stages of the fire, as it was supposed that the
building contained a large amount of pow
der. Mr.. Warren ID. Lowell and the watch
man, who were blown from the building by
the first explosion, are badly burned about
the head and shoulders. but their injuries
are not considered fatal. The stock of
Messrs. Lowell on hand was valued at from
Sl25,000 to Sl50000, and the damBge is
thereon roughly estimated at $4,000; loss
on the building about $40, 900. All insured
An adjoining building was damaged TO the
extent of 81 500.

the event OF future political dissensions,
which are not At all unlikely. We must re-
gard our former allies as friends, lest in an
evil hour they become our enemies.
The present billing aod cooing between
France and Mexico is . logical outcome Of
the cavalier manner of treating our bene-
fscfor in the transfer Of Louisiana. in 1903.
In fact, the logic was active long ago, but is
now more pointed by the assent of Mexico
herself to an alliance with France, against
the possible inroad of the United States.
And, mind you. this policy is shared BY
England a. we'll. who, operating quietly in
South America herself, uses France as .
blind in Mexico. There may be peace in it,
but il there is, the Monroe doctrine is dead,
and may as we'll be buried. B.

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. 49,
At 5-24 this evening, one of the severest
earthquake shocks occurred that was ever
felt here. The shock was like a heavy ex-
plosion. and shook the buildings. from which
people rushed into the streets. In one build
ing the conclusion was sufficient to extin-
guish the gas. Inside of the buildings, the
shock was like that of some heavy object
falling, seeming to be above rather than be-
low. 1t evidently travelled east and west
and was felt in Pittsfeld some four minutes
later than here. 1t was felt at Great Falls.
Manchester. Dover and other places. The
shock lasted about eight or ten minutes
At Great Falls and South BerwicS, Me. d.
