BALLARD is VISITED.
Another Big Fire Yesterday
Morning.
THE LOSS ESTIMATED AT Sl4, 400
A Rumor. That II Was Started
for the Sake Of In
surance.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 23.--Bsllard
the northern suburb OF Seattle, was WIS.,
tied by very disastrous tire this morn
ing. Shortly after o'clock tile lire
originated in the Snug saloon on Ballard
avenue about two blocks from the depot,
in manner that Is unknown. When
first seen by passer. on the street II
could have been extinguished with
dozen buckets of water. A genera!
alarm was at once sounded, but the fire
spread rapidly in all directions, and was
soon beyond control. To the south of
the saloon was a large two-story hotel,
owned and occupied by ID. Z. CoIligan.
The hotel contained, twenty-four
rooms, all of which were crowded to
their utmost capacity. The guests were
at once warned of their danger but so
RAPIDLY did the fire spread that mum
Der of them barely escaped in time TO
prevent being burned 10 death. At the
time Of the tire light breeze was blow
ing, and this was in a southeasterly di.
rection, directly away from the business
portion of the town. A bucket brigade
was hastily organized. but all the water
that was brought was used to wet down
the neigh boring buildings, /, being seen
that it was an impossibility to extin-
guish the flames that had already
ignited, so iiercely did the fire burn.
In the meantime the fire was spread
ing in all directions. The one and one
halt story residence of Mr.. Callahan. IN
the rear OF the hotel was soon ablaze.
and the building to the north of N ad-
igan's saloon, occupied by A. Osier as a
saloon, Twedie & Callaban's saloon TO
the south, and across the street the Rus.
sell block and Mckechnic building were
ON fire. These latter two were soon ex-
tinguished. with the aid of the buo kets.
However, the fire was finally stopped by
the tearing down of small building be
tween Bier saloon and the Maple Leaf
saloon. At this gap men worked with
buckets until the flames were extin-
guished.
LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
The losses ana insurance are esti-
mated as follows:

THE POLICE ARE PREPARED.
Fears of an Anarchistic Outbrssk In
New York City.

New YoKx. July 23.-Inspector Byrnes
last night ordered all the police reserves
of the city held in the station house. II
was prompted by threats OF the striking
cloakmakers made at various times, and
particularly at their meeting yesterday,
from which reporters we're excluded.
One of the inspectors men was present
and made notes of the fiery speeches and
threats OF trouble to-day.
The inspector, when asked to-day
why he issued the order, said: because
l am not going to have any trouble in
this town If can help 1t. If these men
want TO make any we propose to be there
from the start, and to settle it in short
order. ! think the knowledge that we
were ready for them had something to
do with the quiet of this beautiful day"
While the inspector does not say SO,
it is evident that he fears an anaIchistIc
outbreak similar TO that at Chicago four
years ago.

PRECAUTIONARY NEAsuRxs.

Early this morning a meeting OF the
council OF Ballard was called by the
mayor, and it was agreed to purchase
a lot of hose at once and provide for
three force pumps to be so stationed
that nearly any portion Of the city could
be reached by the hose. At present
there is one force pump and 1000 feet
OF hose, but the pump Is at the upper
part of the town, where it was OF no use
at the present fire.

The origin of the fire is matter OF
conjecture. 1t is said that it started in
gambling-room in the rear OF the Snug
saloon, in which 1t was claimed that
there had been no one for several hours
ON Monday +. J. Madigan, proprietor
OF the saloon, it is reported, increased
his insurance from $500 TO 1880. There
was a great deal OF talk on the streets
of Ballard to-day, to the effect that the
fire was of incendiary origin, but no
evidence was produced to substantiate
the statement
, 1890-07-24

The Washington Post this morning
con tains the following paragraph. writ
ten. 1t Is supposed. by Walker. who is a
candidate for the Helena postothce:
'.The announcement that T. II. Carter,
Of Montana, would not run again for
congress was something of a surprise.
The only explanation that Mr.. Carter
gives for retiring at this time, when
opposition to him has been developed,
is that the entire congressional delega-
tion from Montana, the two senators and
himself. are from Helena. The rest OF
the state, he asserts, should have
same representation. Neither of the
senators could be expected 10 sacrifice
himself and as Mr.. Carter's own prefer
ence is to return 10 ;he senate, he vol
unfairly assumes to do the retiring
act"
This apparently plausible explain
alton of his course Is taken with some
grains OF allowance by his friends.
Thomas has been regarded as pretty
smooth politician, and this sud.
den burst of unselishness has
caused his acquaintances to be-
leye that his aspirations reach
higher than a seat in the house.
1t is supposed that he desires TO succeed
Senator Sanders, whose term expires in
1894. and that he proposes to spend the
intervening period in keeping his fences
in repair. There is scarcely any truth
in the paragraph. unless Sanders should
re fuse to be a candidate, when Carter 8
chances would be good.

Slr Julian fAunceiote, from
Bar Harbor last Saturday.
In IL the secretary says: ~ am in
structed by the president to say that
the United States is willing to consider
all the proceedings Of April is, 1888, az
Cancelled, SO far a. American rights
may be concerned. This government
will ask Great Britain to adhere only to
the agreement made between Lord Sal
isbury and Mr.. Phelps the 25th Of Feb.
ruary, 1888"
Mr.. Blaine also refers to Lord Sails
bury's statement that political events In
the United States had caused the inter.
ruption of negotiations and not Cana
dian objection, and closes with volumi.
nous correspondence, practically as
follows: 81 am justified in assuming
that Lord Salisbury cannot recur to the
remark of Mr.. Phelps as one of the
reasons for breaking of the negotla-
| tions, because the negotiations were
in actual progress for more than four
| months after the removal was made,
and Mr.. Phelps himself tooS q large
part In 1t. Upon that recital Of facts
am unable 70 recall or in any way
TO qualify the statement which ]
made in my note OF June 4. to the effect
that Lord Salisbury abruptly closed the
negotiations.
"Lord Salisbury expressed the belief
that even II the view that have taken
of these transactions be accurate, they
would not bear out the arguments which
founded upon them The argument
10 which Lord Salisbury refers il. l pre-
sumo, the remoustrance which
l made by the direction of the
president against q change Of policy
by her majesty's government, without
notice, and against the wash Of the
United States. The interposition of the
wishes of British province between
two nations, which according to Mr..
Phelps had come 70 virtual agree
ment, except as TO detai!s,' was, in the
presidents belief: grave injustice to
the government"
, 1890-07-24


June the secretary writes Sir Julian
that the president believes that tho arbi-
tration can not be concluded in time
for this season, and suggests that Lord
Salisbury make for single season the
regulation which In 1855 he offered TO
make permanent, as step which would
certainly lead to a friendly agreement.
To this the minister replies, June 8.
that n further examination of the quos-
ton has satisfied his iordship that such
an extreme measure as that proposed in
1888 goes far beyond the requirements
OF the case.
Secretary Blaine, replying. June 4,
says: THE president does NOS conceal
his disappointment that even for the
sake of securing imperial arbitration, her
majesty's government is not willing to
suspend for single season practice
which Lord Salisbury describcd In 1888
as the wanton destruction Of valuable
industry. and which this government
