Fire Destroys the Business Portion of
Carrolton.

Carrolton.
CARRo11roS, July "a AT o'clock
this afternoon fire started in the coal
room of the Davis Manufacturing COM
pany. In few minutes the entire
building was in sheet of flames. From
this the fire communicated to the other
buildings in the block, all of which were
brick and occupied as follows: Pelteier
& Scott, groceries-the second story Of
this building was occupied by the re.
corder's Office, owned by W. F. Chalfall !;
Selland l. Crouch, hardware; 3. F.
Berry & Sons, groceries; Pelsue Bros.
notions store; Combs g. Gruzenberry,
groceries; Wilcoxson & Co.. bankers;
Seibert's barber shop, Isaacs' saloon,
Willard s. Sons. furniture. and Coffse
building-frst floor OF which was used
as storeroom for furniture, and second
floor as Republican Office.
The burned district takes in all the
buildings on the south side of the Gus
tom house square, including Wilcox and
S on's bank on,the corner, and from there
south on the west side of Main street to
the southeast corner of the block. Every
building in the block is more or less
damaged and some totally destroyed.
At 4 80 O'Clock the fire was still burning,
with fair prospect that every building
in the block will be total loss, as the
water works is giving out. The loss of
property will not be less than 100000
Most of those burned out are partially
insured.

FORCE NECESSARY
Senator Davis Secures the Pass

1t Was Only Passed After Secret
Negotiations Utterly
Failed.

Davis late this afternoon called up and had
passed without any opposition the Canadian
retaliation bill which passed the house
yesterday. The bill is thoroughly under.
stood in the Northwest, and is meant to1
the protection Of American commerce on
the lakes. 1t is identicaly the bill which
was introduced by Senator Davis in the
senate some time ago and was reported
iavorably.
In connection with the passage Of this
bill there is very interesting story. 1t is
understood that there have been in Wash
inston tor some time past secre: agents of
the Canadian government 1ryin. to induce
action by the executive department which
would prevent the passage OF the bill.
Pending these negotiations, about which
the senate has confidential Information, the
bill has been allowed to rest on the calen.
dar and no action takerr. Some hope was
INDUCED in by the president and secretary
of state that an adjustment might be
made with Canada which would not
necessitate this legislation, viii CHI is
very obnoxious to the Canadian govern
ment. But the executive department and
the Canadian agents could not come to q
satisfactory understanding. The Canadian
press and men in the Canadian parli lament
have
BROKEN OUT IN BLUsrER
and as q consequence it was deemed best to
put the bill through, and Senator Davis
took charge OF the matter. AS no amend
ment had been made TO the house bill, it
will 20 directly to the president and prob
ably become u law tomorrow. Some peo-
Pile think 1t the beginning of rather serious
complications with our Canadian brethren,
and the passage OF this bill may result in .
rupture between the governments If it is
found necessary 10 carry out its provisions
The tact that the bill did not cause the least
discussion in the senate indicates that the
situation has been thoroughly discussed in
executive session.
Since the bill passed the house q ques.
ton has arisen as to the navigable channel
at the point below Detroit, and which viii!
greatly affect the commerce of the great
lakes. This channel Tor some distance is
not the center Of the stream which is the
boundary between the United States and
{ Canada. but runs into the Canadian side for
some distance. The question raised now is
that the Canadian government would have
jurisdiction over that channel, and the
United States would be compelled to ADAM
don its position OF retaliation relative to
! the 500 canal. There are some others who
hold that tn. channel OF the river, whether
on one side or the other OF the actual
stream. should be the International bound
