A HARD FIGHT WITH FIRE.

The Pittsburg Confagration Last Night
Caused q Loss of $500, 900.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 12.--The great Wood
street fire was not entirely subdued until 4
o'clock this morning, but the flames were kept
within the bounds Of the Weldin and Germania
Bank buildings Both these structures are
completely ruined. Nothing remains of the
Weldin building but a portion Of the
front and side walls. The Germana building
was an iron structure, and all that is
left of it are the four walls, which will prob
ably have to be torn down. Occupants of
buildings for block in either direction suf-
fered considerably from water and small fires
occasioned by flying sparks. The wind was very
high, and at one time the fremen we're kept
busy with dozen miniature fires withina radius
Of quarter of mile Of the great conHagration
The worst scare was caused by a spark that
alighted in the cornice of the Duquesne
Theater, on Penn avenue, fully FIVE blocks
away. The cornice commenced to burn but
the flames were subdued without much
damage.
As near "a can be estimated today the loss
will be about 10000, upon which there is an
insurance of S225, 900. The heaviest losers are
]. r. weldin & Co., the German;a Bank, Adam
Reineman, Carnegies. The chamber Of CON-
merce and the custom house also sustained
quite heavy losses. The origin of the fire ia
still a mystery. There were two heavy explo-
sions Of natural gas, but they occurred after
the fire had been discovered. No lives were
lost. although there we're many narrow escapes
from falling walls.

CHICAGO, March 12.-Wheat opened brisk
this morning with the May option at 101 sa1O111S.
There was rush to sell at the start and the
price receded to 1914. This was followed by
the receipt of buying orders from the outside,
and the shorts starting to cover at the same
time the price jumped at once to 1925. Fol-
lowing this came the cable news of financial
trouble in Paris and the shaky condition of the
London stock market in sympathy and May
sold off to 1919.
At this point private cables said that the
Paris financial trouble had been bridged ever,
and the price advanced to 102, but soon weak
encd to 1918. Corn was in wild and nervous
condition. Opening at 62&a62I for May it
sold right up amid much excitement to 6S1S,
the highest point yet touchedon the present
crop. Then it eased off to $50 on
sales to take profits; rallied to 63A and receded
to 50. Oats followed corn. May going as high
as "a at one time. Provisions opened strong
and higher at Sl0. 90 and, in sympathy with corn,
advanced to S11. Later there was break to
Sl0.7719 and a recovery to 5000.

Charge of Bigamy Brought Against Mich
igan State Senator.
CHICAGO, March IA special dispatch from
Lansing, Mich, says that the senate was the
scene of turbulence yesterday when the presi-
dent declared adopted a resolution that the
committee on the contested Friedlander cleo
ton case be relieved from its further considera-
ton. Friedhnder is the democratic senator
who is charged with bigamy in having married
an Indian woman and then deserving her for
another.
During the session Friedlander retired to
the lieutenant governors room to escape ar
rest on the charge Of bigamy. 1t is said that
he practically admits the truth of the charge.
and that last night he offered the attorneys of
wife No. 81 900 if immunity from criminal
prosecution be granted him. This the attorneys
refused to accede to.
The democrats feel assured thatif Friedlander
is once arrested and taken to Petoskey to an
swer the charge against him the republicans
will unseat him and give his seat to Morse.
Therefore they are prepared to serve writ of
habeas corpus.as soon % the arrest is made and
if this plan fails the democratic senators pro-
pose to slip away to Canada and thus leave the
senate one vote short OF a quorum until Fried
lander obtains bail and can return to Lansing.

associates ahead Of any personal considerations.
At this time nothing further could be said con-
corning the recent event in connection with
that company. As to the electric company, he
said his negotiations have progressed to his

Mr. Blake, the Liberal, Thinks 1t Probable
Though Not Desirable.
ToRoSro, March 12.-Mr. Blake, who IL at OF
taws on supreme court business, sends the fol-
lowing note to the editor Of the Globe.
SIR: The contradictory differences to which a
sentence in my Durham letter, detached from
its context, has in several quarters unexpect-
eddy given rise conquers my reluctance to
trespass again SO soon upon your columns, and
crave space to say that think political union
with the United States, though becoming
our probable. is by no means our ideal. or as
yet our inevitable, future.
lSigneD EDWARD BLAKE.
lowing editorial comments upon this note:
Annexation is certainly not the ideal future
Canadians have now in view. Mr. Laurier and
the rest OF the liberal party believe that it need
not be our inevitable future, provided the
people are allowed to make most of their in
dustry, to turn their industry, to turn
their resources to account. and to secure
cooperation Of foreign capital and labor
through tho removal of the tariff wall which
now divides us from the rest of the continent
But with all respect to Mr. Blake, his position
still remains obscure. For in his former letter
cial union had failed and was making for an
nexation, that an imperial customs union with
protection as its basis was ont of the question,
that the revenue tariff policy had well nigh
ceased to be practicable owing. to the
enormous growth of our burdens and
for other reasons, and last of all that
unrestricted reciprocity with theUnited States,
which his old friends propose, probably could
not be obtained without, and in any event
would in all likelihood terminate in political
union. He closed or appeared to close every
door Of escape from that which he now says is
becoming our probable, though it is now as
yet our inevitable destiny.
''Mr. Blake docs not wish to keep the public
guessing about his attitude on this vital ques-
ton. nor is he the man to shrink from giving
a full expression Of his views even when he
knows them to be unpalatable to the majority.
We venture to suggest that he should take
every opportunity of explaining his position in
detail. SO that no one shall be able to miscon-
strue it."
