A Defective fIue Causes the Loss Of Several
Buildings at Allegheny.

PITTsBURG, April "a defective fiue on
the second floor Of the four story paper
warehouse Of Godfrey & Clark on South
Canal street, Allegheny, started serious
fire shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. A high wind spread the flames, and
within half an hour this building had been
destroyed and the fire had enveloped the
malt house, the elevator and warehouse
of Ebernhardt a. Ober which adjoined
Godfrey & Clarke's premises. A row of
IL brick and frame dwellings also on South

ton mills, occupied as warehouse, were
next ignited and then the fire spread to
three buildings in the rear Of the last
named structure. They were all gutted-
1t Is rumored that child was burned to
death and that several people residing on

not DO over $4,000.

BUTTER IN SHORT SUPPLY.
Fruit Trade Dull-Apples in Poor De-
mand-Potatoes in Short Supply.

BosToN, April 5.-Trade in Boston mar
fc in vegetab' s Icing especially brisk.
cause attributed to the condition oi
the vegetable market Is that goods have
been received in much better condition
than In times past and the attractiveness
OF stock is potent factor to its ready sale.
In The Butter Trade
receivers have been short during the whole
week. Supplies from all sections are
small and there is but little stock held by
the dealers. Fresh creamery is worth
from 80 to 30 cents; the figures for the
same week last year were fully 8 cents
lower than those now current The pro-
ducer should now embrace his opportun-
ity TO place his butter on the market at the
present prices.
Fruit trade Is particularly dull, with
good supply coming all the time. Stan
dard Baldwin apples sell for 81 to 81 80 a
barrel. Almost all other varieties are now
rapidly deteriorating and are not wanted.
The Irish and Scotch Magnum potatoes
are yet here n large quantities, and sell
at s2.25 for "A bag of l6S pounds. Good
Aroostook potatoes bring almost 81 a bushel
on the average. Turban squash are 81 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds; native onions firm at

TRANSFORMATIONS FACILITIES.

Almost all the great railroads of the
country that have shared in the Worlds
fair passenger traffic have given notice
of a revision of their train schedules, by
which the accommodations offered to
the public are to be restricted. Some
of the railroads have already diminished
the number of their daily trains, while
the others are rapidly preparing to fol-
low their example at the earliest pos
sible day, This action of tho rail
road managers is undoubtedly to
a certain extent justifiable. They
had anticipated a heavy passen-
ger traffic during the continu-
ance of the Chicago exposition and
made their arrangements accordingly.
Many OF them put on extra trains,
pressed extra rolling stock into the
service, and in a few instances increased
the number of their train crews. Re-
~luctantly and tardily they put reduced
passenger rates into force and finally
began to reap the harvest which they
were awaiting. With a return to the
ordinary conditions of travel, it is hardly
reasonable to expect the railroads to
continue a service in its entirety which
was designed for an extraordinary oc-
casion.
But the railroads have no right to use
The fact that the Worlds fair traffic is
ceasing as a pretext for reducing their
their transportation facilities below
what they were before the Worlds
fair opened its gates. The
railroads W certain duties to the
public in return for the many privilege s
and fayors shat have been accorded
them at the hands of the government,
Omaha daily bee., 1893-11-09

both state and national. That they can
not stop operating the lines when they
wish has been more than once decreed
by the courts. II they cannot withdraw
their facilities altogether they should
not be permitted to reduce them below
what the needs and conveniences OF their
patrons demand. The passenger train
service before the Worlds fair extras
were introduced was in nc way too elab-
crate for the requirements OF the peo-
pie whom it was intended to serve.
Nothing less efficient han that should
o be imposed upon the public.
Other retrenchments in the matter OF
~transportion facilities on some OF the
western railroads have been even less
justiiable. Trains that had been oper-
ated for years nave been taken off branch
roads and local service has been pared
down to the very minimum. People are
compelled to ride in mixed trains, to
spend twice the time in reaching their
destination than would be necessary
upon ordinary passenger trains ana
to waste precious hours while be-
ing switched around to drop or
take on freight and cattle cars
Residents of the larger cities have not
been troubled much by this wretched
system, except when they wish to stop
at some small station. But country
people and townspeople are daily sub
jected to these Inconvenience and ln-
dignities. They are compelled to grin
and bear it at the railroad magnate's
pleasure, nor do they see any near source
of relief. The railroads have gotten all
the favors out of the people that they
could hope for. 1t no longer pays them
to be meek and accommodating. They
now run their roads solely for their own
profit, without the slightest re-
gard for their duties to the pub
lie. Some of them even talk OF
teaching the people a lesson. No one
wants them to furnish anything more
than reasonable facilities, but cattle
trains for human freight are not reason
able except in the eyes of the railroad
manager. Adequate train service will
be restored on these western railroads
only when the people refuse to put up
with the crumbs that have been thrown
to them.

Small Military Posts to Ie Abolished In the
Near Future.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-ISpecial Telegram
to IHR BEE. IA member of the senate COM
mittee on military affairs, who is familiar
with the facts upon which that committee
reported adversely the bill appropriating
800, 900 to enlarge the military post of Fort
Meade, S. D., says there is TO be a constant
but gradual abolition of the smaller military
posts throughout the country and a CEN
tralization of tho military forces at the
regimental posts, There are five of
the latter. located in Nebraska,
Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota and
Illinois. There are now ninety-six
garrisoned posts in the country, thirty-three
of which are located east of the Mississippi,
and sixty-three west of that river. 1t is
stated that the eastern posts are to be
diminished in numbers as rapidly as pos
sible, concentrating the great body of
troops in New York, Columbus, o., and one
or two other points which are principally
used as recruiting stations. While the con
solidation of posts beyond the Misslssippi
will be less rapid, it will not be surprising in
the mind of the senator who gives IuE BEE
correspondent this information if one or
two of the four posts in Nebraska and two
or three of the five posts in each of the
states of Wyoming, Washington and Mon
lana are dispensed Win AZ an early Jay,
General Schofield contends that the small
and isolated posts should be abandoned i'm

in view of the fact hat the number Of

1t is cruel to keep the spoils from the

coming victors are 80 dim. The Office

Sad Outlook for Towns that Have Been

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-There will be no ap-

tion of the present structure. 1t is proposed
to provide an appropriation of $3.50, 900 to re-
construct and repair the present building so
that it can be used as an Office building. The
construction of the new building will proba-
bly, be put in charge of General Casey, chief
of engineers, as such a method of construc-
tion is considered more economical, both in
the matter of material used and in the time
of building, than to let the work out by pri-
vate contract. For the same reason an
effort will be made to transfer to his charge
the construction of the new city postofice

HOLDINGS In THE SOUTH SEA
United States Possessions in the Middle Of
the Pacific Ocean.
TWO VERY SMALL ISLANDS, BUT USEFUL
why They Came to he Acknowledgements
Bearing on the Present situation
In nawaii-Rumors Denied by
tho state Department.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Some sensational
dispatches, which were published yesterday
afternoon and this morning, TO the effect
that Lilioukalani was To be restored TO her
throne of Hawaii by the United States gov.
ernment, brought n flood Of inquiries upon
the State department. The unusually i'm
passive officials of this department ridiculed
the proposition, which is regarded by them
rs absurd.
An interesting fact has developed bearing
upon the Hawaiian annexation In the rec
ords of the Navy department. A glance at
n good chart of the Hawaiian islands will
show n long string OF very small islands, ex-
tending northeast from tho northornmost
inhabited islands, Nihau aud Kauai, of tho
Hawaiian group. Most of these belong to
the Hawaiian government and are consid-
cred n part OF the Hawaiian group. Two OF
them, Brooks or Mid way islands, were, on
August %, 1867, formally taken possession
of by Captain William Reynolds, command
ing the United States steamer LaCkaNa
on behalf of the United States. These
islands previously were discovered July 5,
1859, by Captain N. &. Brooks OF the Ha-
waiian bark Gambra, who formally took
possession of them in the name of the He-
waiian government.
why United States Annexed tho Islands.
Inc Unlteu states government wac
actuated by n request made of Secretary
of tho Navy Gideon Welles by Allen McLane,
then president of the Pacific Mail company,
who desired the use of the islands as n coal
ing station. Secretary Welles, thereupon
issued orders to Rear Admiral Thacker,
commanding the North Pacific squadron, to
take formal possession of the islands. Cap
tain Reynolds, in reporting the taking of
possession to Admiral Thacker, says: at is
exceedingly gratifying to have been con-
cerned in the taking possession of the first
islands ever added to the dominion Of the
United States beyond our own shores and |
sincerely hope that this instance will be by
no means the last of our insular possessions
Brooks or Midway islands are In latitude
$50 II minutes north. longitude reg min.
utes west. Their distance from San Fran
cisco is g $500 nautical miles, from the cost Of
Japan 1900 miles and from Honolulu 200
miles.
Description OF tho Islands.
A senate committee report says the largest
of these islands is one and a half miles long
by three-Quarters of a mile broad and fifty
seven feet high, containing q harbor facing
to the west and safely sheltered by a coral
reef. The harbor is said to be roomier and
deeper than that of Honolulu. There is also
a plentiful supply of fresh water on the
island.
In view of much which has been said and
written, the lack of precedent for an assump-
ton by the United States of dominion ovei
detached islands, such as the Hawaiian
group, this record of the Navy department
bears on the question with interest.

Greater than Ills Party.

President Cleveland evidently believes
that he is a greater man than his party.
Early on the morning following the adjourn
ment of the extraordinary session of con-
gress, he went into the woods to shoot
squirrels. Members of congress sought him
in vain, and they could not secure informa-
tion as to the probable date of his return to
the executive mansion. We cannot recall
the name of a president of the United
States who would have dared to slap the
members of congress in the face in this
way. President Cleveland undoubtedly is
a bold man. Perhaps he may exhibit a
specimen of this bravery when he comes to
deal with the tariff question after hearing
from Ohio.
