she had pursued.
On the other hand. It is said. that Rodcs who
paid her tuition at Snyre Institute and called

The Washington Office OF the Western Union
on Wire and About 400 Wire. Out Ont.


on Fire and About 400 Wires Gut Out.
WASHINGTON. Sept 13.-Fire was discovered
in the Corcoran building in this city a few
minutes before 9 o'clock tonight which great
ly damaged tho wires OF tho Western UniCn
Telegraph Company. whose Offices are on tho
upper floors OF the building. and shut OF all
telegraphic communication OF the city by that
company. The fire originated in the cupoa
on the roof. directly above the operating ROOM
whore the wires are strung to connect with tho
switchboard. The cause has not yet been
definitely ascertained. but the supposition Is
that during the wet weather now prevailing
an electric light wire became heavy and
sagged. rubbins across another wire until the
insulation became defective, thereby starting
blaze which caught in tho woodwork Of the
cupola.
1t is now thought that about 400 wires have
been burned and cut out by the Nremen In get
ting at the blaze. Tho only wires available
are a few at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
depot. whore several telegraphers have boon
detailed for duty. Much damage was done by
lated wires. rendering them totally useless
until they become dry. The operating room
instrpmentss, and papers. no serious damage
was done, None of the switchboards suffered
from tho fire.
The fire was Cotton under control by 6:2O
and in about half an hour the debris was
cleared away sufficiently TO enable Manager
Marean and a corps OF assistants to begin the
work Of repair. They went up in the cupoln to
make the connections with the largo switch
board in the operating room, but progress was
necessarily slow. owing to the extreme dark
ness on the roof OF the building and the steady
downpour Of rain. Messages and other tele-
ness Office subject to delay.
Up to 8 O'Clock all efforts to patch up any
wires suitable for working purposes have been
unsuccessful. and II is thought that 1t will be
late before any connection can be made. Tho
Postal Telegraph Company furnishes the only
telegraphic outlet. and thor wires are crowded

Operations against these forts were nxod to

WASHINGTON. Sept. Notwithstanding
statements from cable companies that Gov
eminent messages to and from Brazil pass
without Interference via Galveston, the State
Department has received no information
whatever for two days from Minister Thomp-
son. who IL supposed to be ut Rio. According
to international agreement official messages
to foreign Governments from their representa-
tives in country must be sent without subjec-
tion to censorship. and because Of this agreo-
ment and from tho fact that official mes
sages from Brazil have boon received by diplo-
matte officers OF that country in European
capitals. the non-receipt OF another message
from Mr.. Thompson has created some sur
prise at the State Department. The Navy De-
rartment has been as unfortunate in this
respect as the diplomatic branch OF the Gov
ernment but this Is not so strange. for the
department has 10 knowledge that any OF its
ships are In Brazilian ports.
The Navy Department has decided to leave
