A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
New York Grain stores Destroyed-Loss a
Half Million Dollars.

Half Million Dollars,
NEw YoRK, Nov. l3.-There was a
destructive fire this morning at Watson's
stores, extending from $50 to 1856 Fur
man street, which are about midway be-
tween the Fulton and Wall street fer
ries. People passing along Furman
street at Z o'clock this morning say that
there was no fire to be seen, yet seven
minutes later the whole interior OF No.
$50, in which tho machinery of the
grain elevator is located, appeared to be
In blaze. The property is owned by
Col. Watson and leased TO the Fulton
Grain Milling Company, who had $780,
600 bushels OF oats, wheat and corn in
the stores. After this building had been
gutted the flames communicated TO Nos.
l52, 154 and 15D, and before they were
checked the interior OF the stores were
pretty well burned out. Thousands Of
bushels OF wheat, corn and oats flowed
down from the different stores and COW
cred up half the streets. The fire was
prevented from spreading to Harbect 4
Roberts stores adjoining. The cause OF
the fire is not known, but it originated
somewhere about the engine room. The
loss on grain is about 100000, and on
machinery $4,000. The loss on the
building is about 100000, making a
total Of S55o,09o. There is an insurance
OF Sl5O, 900 on building and machinery,
and it is said the grain is mostly insured.
The engines were still pouring streams
on the ruins at noon.

He said he would make no change in
lake rates, the season being practically
ended. The reducing OF all ruil rates,
he thought, Tery unwise, especially at
the present time. He continued: ave

Epsland VIII Establlsh Free Trade Be-
tween nll Her Colonies,

tween all Her Colonies.
MONTREAL, Nov. 13.-An inspired dis
patch from Ottawa appeared in the Ga
sciic yesterday, saying that the Canadian
Government has decided to unite the
Australian and New Zealand govern
ments to send delegates TO Canada ut an
early date TO consider the question OF
trade relations and especially cable COM
munication by way OF the Pacific ocean.
In other words, after an agitation of
nearly ten years, the advocates OF impe-
rial federation have gained their point,
and movement is now fairly started to
her colonies more secure than ever by
having free trade between the different
countries under the British flag to the
exclusion Of every other country. This
action OF the cabinet is a direct thrust OF
retaliation by the Canadian government
against the United States, in that Eng
land product and free trade principles
will be sold and practiced right on the
American border. In Montreal, among
merchants, the governments action is
looked upon as the first step towards OBJ
tanning for Canada and her manufac-
turers the trade of Australia and New
Zealand, now held by English manuiac-
turers and Americans. The Canadian
Pacific company will next year begin
running a line OF steamers from Van
couver, B. G., to Australian ports to
compete with the American lines from
San Francisco. An Australian has re-
Gently been sent to England in the inter
