successful Battle With Flames
DETROIT. Oct. 14-One of the most
disastrous fires which has ragged here
for many years occurred this evening
on ChamplaIn street, whole block of
business buildings on that street be-
tween Brush and Beaubien streets, be-
ing completely swept away. and Har-
monia hall, the scene of many
political conventions, burned to the
ground. The fact that the great conf1a-
grafton started in paint factory, that
of Boydell Bros. and the prevalence of
fierce wind, which famed the flames
and gave them every chance of spread
ing, accounts for the magnitude of the
disaster and explains why the firemen
could not successfully battle with the
flames. The fire had the ascendency
from the first to the last. and the fremen
could only work to prevent it from
spreading outside of the block which it
consumed, which they were successful in
doing.
1t was at II 80 that the flames were
discovered in the rear of the Boydell
factory. which is a five-story brick
building, filled with materials of the
most combustible nature. The flames
spread rapidly, and soon the entire
structure was mass of flames. The
firemen did not succeed in keep
ing the flames from spreading to the
adjoining buildings, which were soon
swept away. Besides he Boy dell
factory there were number of old
frame buildings, occupied as dwell
ingS and or 5, e and at
the corner of tle block was old Har-
monia hall. With the fierce wind
blowing it took but little more than
an hour to consume az these. AT IL
o'clock naphtha storeu ! the Boydell
building exploded, blowing out the
front wall of the ruined structure, the
falling debris narrowly missing the as
sembled crowd of firemen and curiosity
seekers.
The flames were still raging at 1
a'clock, but were under control, and
had caused loss estimated at at least
5000, 600. At this late hour it is Impos-
sible to get the individual losses.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Though some
what similar to the two great storms in
August, the West India cyclone which
visited this region Friday night does
not seem to have proved so disastrous.
This was largely due to the fact that the
path of the storm center, after
striking Northern Florida and Georgia
was overland,insteado of along the coast,
passing over Washington, ID. c., thence
northwest over Western Pennsylvania
and Eastern Ohio, over the lakes into

The arguments thus far in the Ben
ring Sea arbitration have touched
preliminaries rather than the inter
national questions at issue. Mr..
Phelps, the counsel of the American
side, has studiously avoided the cen
trail considerations. The British press
thinks this is done with the design of
ultimately defeating the purposes of
the court. We can hardly think 1T to
be more than the strategy of an astute
counsel to reserve to the last the main
argument. The work thus far must
be considered preparatory. The fore
es are selecting their positions on
the field, and will develop their full
strength in due time Both sides
come to the engagement with full as
surance of success. On one side there
must be inevitable disappointment.

TH4T SCHOOL, w.

The Burlington Free Press, which has
been struggling with its oonundrum Of
the new school law, recently asked
the opinion of Chairman Arnold of the
Committee of EducationWho were the
sponsors, if not the authors of the law
and received the following:
Ia response to your reQGest for the
intent and understanding the Com
nittee on Education as to the division
of the public money this spring and
the disposition OF the surplus remain
ing IN the hands of the several dis
trict. would say that at a meeting
held at Montpelier, ApriI7, at which
l. P Booth, L. II. Elliott John F.
Mead. State superintendent Mason S.
Stone and Fred Arnold were present,
the above points were fully discussed,
and all unanimously agreed that the
law was plainly and clearly expressed.
First = As to the division of the
public money AS TIE ''new'' law did
not take effect until April !, the public
money should be divided in March as
usual according to the old law.
eeThe selectmen of sglch town shall
annually on the Friday next preced-
ing the last Tuesday of March divide
the school moneys in the treasury of
such town among the school districts
in such town; and such moneys shall
be paid over, under the direction OF
the selectmen, to the treasurers of the
several districts"
We see no other alternative but to
comply with the above.
Second - AS to the disposition OF
any surplus that district might have
ON hand after paying its legitimate
school expenses. In our opinion Ii
belongs to the district and to the DIS
trict alone.

RUSSIAN FAMINES.
intended

Famine is not yet stamped out IN
Russia. Drought has ruined the crops
of more than 5000, 900 peasants and
hard hearted government wrlngs
money from them in taxes which was
needed for food to tide them over
single season "Freedom," says Step
MAX, els the remedy"
But a writer in the Edinburgh Re
Uieou tells different story. 1t will be
observed even Stepniak admits that
drought caused the famine in Bessar-
abba. The writer in the Edinburgh
Rerieau tells us what caused the
drought Both the writer's agree ON
one point = that there is no hope OF
permanent relief soon for the hapless
peasants of Russia. The cause of the
restitution Is not politics, however,
according to The RevieaO writer. 1t IS
simply and solely that for centuries
Russia has been stripping her hillsldes,
valleys and plains Of the trees that
protected her rivers and streams-in
a word, deforestation.
The woods were cut away from the
head waters of the streams, the
streams dried up, leaving the bare
fields to be sand swept in summer and
snow swept in winter and desolated,
until Russia is gradually becoming like
the desert of Central Asia. Central
Asia, now the home of few wander
ing savages, tortured by alternate cold
and heat, was once land of magnlfi-
cent fertility. So was Palestine; SO
the whole region bordering on the
Mediterranean. Deforestation dew
astated all.
The only hope for Russia is in the
reforesting of her lands. How fast
! the process of ruin has progressed
NAV be told from one fact. Peter the
| Great built and launched his first
! ships upon the river Woronesch. This
stream is now mere rivulet. Russia
| is gradually becoming overwhelmed
with sand. The moral Americans can
draw for themselves, especially those
! Americans who are seeking to cut
down every piece of woods in this Re

Geo. I. Seney, prominent Method
list of New York City died recently.
He was one of the most generous men
in America. His gifts to institutions
which had his warmest sympathy were
munificent. He gave $4,000 to the
Methodist General Hospital, of Brook
lyn: 100000 to the Long Island His
torical Society, S25O,O0o to Emory and
Wesleyan College, of Macon, Ca, be-
sides 800, 900 to various benevolent
objects in Brooklyn.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
contains several valuable pictures
which Mr.. Seney presented. Wesley
an University was largely aided by
him and to miscellaneous charities he
gave more than $500, 900. Perhaps his
contributions, made with a purpose OF
elevating humanity, will aggregate
81, 800, 900. These figures are testi-
monials of his splendid Christian gen
erosity. He gave to humanity cheer
fully and royalty, and he gave in the
name of the Lord.

South Carolina is to try an expert
ment ia the State regulation of the
LIQUOR traffic Under what is known
as the Evans Dispensary Bill, which
was passed by the Legislature at its
recent session, the State is to control
all sales of liquor. 1t is an adaptation
of the Gothenburg system, which has
been in use in Sweden and Norway
for some years. Under it licenses
are granted to companies to sell
spirituous liquors under certain l1m1-
tations. These companies are to re-
ceive six per cent for capital invested,
and to turn all profits in excess of this
amount over to the State. Each COM
pany has a monopoly of the business
in it's particular locality. Beer and
wines are excepted from the provls-
ions of the system; but in South Caro-
lima these are included, and hereafter
there can be no legal saloons In the
State except those controlled by the
State authorities. The Legislature
has appropriated $50, 900 as capital to
start the business, and Governor Till
man proposes to buy stock of liquors
with this money and on the credit OF
the State The purpose of the law IS
to insure, we suppose, that good liq-
uors shall be sold; that they shall be
sold only to persons entitle to receive
them, and that all the conditions of
restrictions shall be properly observed.
Whatever profit there may be in the
| sale will go to the State and not to in
4 diViduals.
