fire, which started last night. Details OF the
destruction were hard to obtain this morn.
ing. The news of the virtual wiping out oi
this city came through the Western Union
Telegraph Colnpany's officials here. They
report the telegraph Office in Spokane as
having been swept out Of existence. Every
effort wss being made, they stated, to re-
store communication, but when success
would be attained they could not say.
Later information showed that forty
business blocks had fallen q prey to the
flames. 1t was definitely ascertained that
the Northern Pacific depot and all the
public buildings in the city were carried
away in the general havoc. The first es-
innate received placed the loss by the fire
at $50, ,OOO, 900. Spokane was one OF the
most prominent of the many new cities in
the iniant state OF washington, situated on
the line of the Northern Pacific railroad,
close to the Ceur d'Alene mining region.
The city has been the site for many large
Industrial establishments, such as srnelt-
ers and kindred enterprises. Expensive
public edifces had also been recently
erected, and the population was easily sup

ALASKA FISHING LAWS.
No Appreprlatisn Made by Con-
gress fer Their enforcement.

WASHINGTON. July l3.-The secre-
tary Of the treasury has received .
letter from the collector Of customs at
Sitka, Alaska. IN regard to settling the
fisheries Of that territory, in which he
suggests that, inasmuch as there are
over forty fishing and canning corr
poratlons actively engaged in catching
and preparing salmon for market,
distributed over large area. he lie
authorized TO visit such portions Of
the territory and see that the la xs for
the protection OF these fisheries be
properly enforced. He has been in
formed that bis request cannot be
granted because of lack OF appropri
ation out Of which his expenses would
be paid.
II seems while congress passed an
act for the protection Of the salmon
fisheries Of Alaska. and to prevent
unauthorized killing Of fur-bearing
animals in Alaskan waters, il made
no appropriation for carrying out
such provisions.
