past congress paid out over half mill

members and senators who died. Under
the constitution they have just as much
right to appropriate money to bury dead
citizens as dead congressman. But you
have never heard those statesmen who
are so quick to say the ownership OF
railways by the government and the sub
treasury are unconstitutional, say
word about these appropriations funeral

prove inadequate to protect England's
food supply defense would then become
a question, not of fighting but of hold

this evening. The blaze was seen shoot

The fire spread rapidly and soon the
adjacent buildings were in flames.

finest in the city, is completely Quilted.
In two hours twenty buildings were en-
tirely destroyed and many others badly
damaged. In an hour the whole CITY
was alarmed and many private fire com
panies were called out.

incendiary are freely made.

estimate of the losses. As far as can be
ascertained, the losses, with one excep-
ton, are fully covered by insurance. 1t
is rumored that one failure will result.

was no cause for apprehension of any
financial disturbance.
