OOO-One Fireman Injured.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 15.-The most
extensive fire. in point of losses, that
ever visited this city broke out early
today in the business part of the city.
When the flames were brought under
control, at 10 O'Clock, the loss had
reached, at a conservative estimate,
$3.50, O,00o.

surely be destroyed. The tlre was
discovered in the basement of Matthews
Bros wholesale drug house, No. 800

sent in, and when the four companies OF
the district responded the building was
a mass of flames and had spread to No.
3l6. occupied principally by Gross &
Foster, one of the largest dry goods
stores in the city. Another alarm
brought six more companies to the
scene. The fire continued to spread,
and at o'clock general alarm brought
the entire fire department of the city
into service.
When the flames were under control,
Numbers SIG, 318 and 800 Lackawanna
avenue were completely destroyed.
Numbers 800, 322 and 324 were Quilted
and the stock of No. Sl4 badly damaged.
AT 8 o'clock. three tiremen fell
through the roof of No. 316. Two
landed on the first floor and one went
through to the basement. They were
eXtricated by ropes few seconds be-
fore the walls collapsed.
Charles f. Breckett was seriously
injured internally. The losses. SO far
as can be asce.tained, are as follows:

TorpedOes In Toxic Gulf.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia dispatch
was received at the state departmen:
today from Minister Dunn announcing
that the Japanese government had
biockaded with submarine torpedoes
the entrance to the Gulf of Toxic and
the harbor of Maya saki. The United
States minister was given notice on
Aug. II that the blockade would take
effect Aug. 25.and that all vessels would
be prohibited from entering or leaving
the gulf and harbor without the con-
duct of pilot vessel having on board
an officer of the imperial navy. No
vessels will be permitted to leave be.
tween sunset and sunrise. Those arriv-
ing from distance will be notified by
government boats stationed outside the
the harbor.
Notice was given by the minister to
masters of American vessels. As soon
as the announcement had been received
the navy department authorities took
steps to notify the vessels which may
be starting for Japan.
The action was, of course. taken for
protection against the Chinese fleets.
1t is the most serious step of the war up
to date in its effect upon foreign COM

who was in a condition that would soon
reveal her criminal connection with

AduIteration of Rubber.

The adulteration of rubber is some
thing remarkable, and in order to make
it weigh more barytes, white lead or
most anything is used. The consumer is
attracted to the product because it is
cheap, but he pays just so much more
per pound for the heavy minerals COM
pounded. Insulating men use very
cheap rubber coming from the eastern
coast of Mexico and Nicaragua 1t sells
for about Is cents per pound and can
hardly be called rubber. Chicle is very
cheap and used in the manufacture of
chewing gum. The whole subject is
one of price, and as you cannot get some
thing for nothing you cannot get last
ing mechanical goods at a quotation
which will not pay weight for weight for
