flames. Aid was summoned, but it's ar
rival made little difference. About . ~
D. m. the flames, having practically
burned themselves out for want OF i'm
mediate material upon which to iced,
were brought under control, but fire was
still burning brightly at midnight in
the center Of the burned district.
How the flames started is unknown.
Mrs. Phillips, employed in the museum,
is the only person known to have lost
her life in the confagration. A number
of persons received burns and other
injuries while fighting the flames.
1t is impossible tonight even approx
mately to estimate the amount OF the
losses. BY some they are estimated at
over $4,000, 900, while Others do not be-
lieve the total will amount to one-quar-
ter that amount. There is most un-
desirable crowd, consisting principally
of ghouls, who are reaping rich harvest
from the misfortunes of the burned out
people.
1t is said the insurance policies will
not more than half cover the losses.

Progressive Tax on Bachelors.

The bill for staying the depopulation
of France, which M. LIE Roy is preparing
to lay before the chamber, is by no
means laughing matter, as the French
bachelor of the future may discover.
For among its provisions is proposal to
put progressive tax upon bachelors,
while, on the other hand, creating q
sliding scale of taxation, to be reduced
in proportion to the number of children
in family.
M. LIE Roy proposes to follow English
law in reducing the legal age at which
man becomes his own master to twenty
one. and in giving a woman the right of
compelling the father of her child to
recognize and provide for his offspring.
1t was none too soon that this last pro-
vision became French law as well as
English law.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE AUSTRALIAN.
1t Was Battle of twenty-five Rounds,

or 1t from Start to
Finish.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 2O.-Billy
Smith, Of Boston, and Billy Maber, Of
Australia, fought before the Pastime
Athletic club tonight for purse Of
$1,000. Maber was knocked out in the
twenty-6fth round. The contest was
the most exciting that the Pastime club
has yet given, and was witnessed by O
large crowd. Jack Dempsey was referee
and announced that the affair would be
twenty-round contest.
Smith took the aggressive in the first
round. He swung his right on Maber's
ribs bringing him to the floor.
la the next few rounds Smith rushed
Maber against the ropes and got in some
good blows, In the seventh round,
Smith tried pivot blow, but fell short.
In the eighth round Maber was still
on the defensive.
From the ninth to the fourteenth
round but little effective work was done.
In the fourteenth round, Maber was
knocked down by right handler on the
breast. ecame up groggy and just as
time was called he was again knocked
down.
From the sixteenth to the twentieth
round Smith continued his rushes and
Maber began to show the effects of
Smiths body blows.
At the close of the Goth round. referee
Dempsey announced that the battle
would be fought to finish. The twen-
ty-first round found Smith apparently
fresh, while Maber seemed weak.
From the twenty-first to the twenty
fifth it was apparent that Mgber was
whipped, but Smiths attempts to de-
liver knockout were unavailing. Ma
ber was 30 weak that light tap would
send him to the floor.
In the twenty-fifth round Maber went
down four times in succession from pivot
blows on the chest. Smith then swung
his right, and landing on Maber's jaw,
sent him down and out.
They both weighed in under 14O
pounds. Maber was slightly the favor

Excitement in Dublin Over the Resump-

DUBLIN, Sept, 20.-There is renewed
excitement everywhere in Dublin in con-
sequence of the resumption of the eyic-
ton of tenants who are in ar
rears for rent. In county Glare
the sheriff proceeded, yesterday,
with large force of police, to
dispossees delinquent tenant, but in
stead of the resistance expected, the
tenant was ready to pay his back rent.
At the next house the sheriff found the
same condition of affairs. The result of
the raid was that the rents were paid,
and none of the tenants evieted. The
Freeman's Journal (Anti-P -Parnellite) de-
clares that the attempted evictions are
the result of the landlords desire to dis
credit the home rule government.
