CAUSED BY OARELEsSNEss,
Twenty Aores of Lumber and Railroad
 Property Destroyed.

Twenty Acres of Lumber and Railroad
 Property Destroyed.
 Minneapolis, July 30.-Twenty acres of lumber piles, containing about 23,- 900, 900 feet of lumber, belonging to the shevlin-Carpenter Lumber company, situated on the west bank of the river, within a quarter mile of the center of the city, was destroyed by fire this af. ternoon. In addition to this the Chi cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad roundhouse was burned with twenty-one freight cars and the Pintsoh gas plant.
 Carelessness on the part of the engineer and fireman of an Omaha switcher, who neglected to close the dampers of their engine, is supposed to have been the cause of the fire. Long before the fire men had arrived the fire was beyond control. St. Paul sent two engines and crew and Saltwater started an equal number, but had to recall them owing to the breaking out of fire at that place. All the flremen could do was to seek to conflne the fire to the district in which 1t originated. Eleven engines standing in the roundhouse and long line of cars in the yard were saved. t
 When the flames reached the Pintsch gas plant, where the Illuminating gas for the Omaha trains was generated it blew up with detonation heard all over the city, scattered blazing brands for blocks around. The Shevlin-Carpen- ter mill did not take fire. although the flames reached within forty feet of 1t.
 Brands fell all around the Star ele- vator. containing 100000 bushels of wheat, and 1t took fire in several places but was practically uninjured. Numer- ous fires were also started in different parts of the city, but they were extin- guished in short order.

WHAT GOMPERS SAYS.
workingInen Have Secured Many Advan- tages by the Recent Strike.

Workingfnen Have Secured Many Adpan-
 tages by tho Recent Strike.
 Detroit. Mich. July S0.-Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fedora ton of Labor, who was here to-day, in speaking of the recent strike, said:
 Although failing in the dramatic sense, workmen have secured many ad- vantages by 1t. Concessions of more or less importance have been made by em- ployers in over one thousand instances for the purpose of avoiding what they imagined would be a general strike for improved conditions The injunctIons, while they had the effect of defeating the railroad strike, have made the workingmen feel more keenly than ever that if they expect any material change from existing wages they must depend wholly on their own efforts. The strike has given great impetus to organiza- tions in the trades and callings. There are 100000 more men in the unions than there were two months ago."
 Speaking of the initiation of the po- litical movement, MT. Gompers said that a political program had been made out for the Federation of Labor at the Chi cago convention and 1t was expected that at the next convention matters would take form. Pending the adoption of a platform, local bodies are at liberty to take such political action as will best subserve their own interests.

CHINA IS WAITING.
She VIII Declare War When She Has
 Plenty of Ammunition.

 Plenty of Ammunition.
 Shanghai, July 30.-It Is understood that China will not formally declare war until the vessels and ammunition which she has ordered abroad shall have been got safely into Chinese ports.
 The transports Nee Foo and Toonan, which the Chinese feared had been cap- tured have have arrived in Chee Foo. Sixty torpedoes were sent up the Kian- Gyin channel of the Yang -Tse-K -Kiang.
 London, July 30-The foreign office received important dispatches late this evening from British representatives in China. No definite statement was made, however, concerning the declaration of war. Soon after the dispatches arrived the foreign office communicated by pri- vate cable with several British embas- sies abroad. The owners of the Row Shung have made 8 claim through the government for compensation from Ja- pan. They base their claim on the grounds that the Row Shung flew the British flag, and war had not been for mally declared.
 The Central News says the Row Shung incident is regarded as forcing the sit uation, and involving serious complica- tions.
 Sir H. Mccartney, secretary of the Chinese legation. made long call at the foreign office to-day. He urges ne- gotiations for peace.

Some of the Steamship Lines Arc Tired of
 Losing Money.
 New York, July 30.-The emigrant rate war is of for time, at least SO far as the German lines are concerned. The North German Lloyd announced to-day temporary suspension of the s1O smigrant rate to Southampton.
 The reason given is that the conti- mental business of the company has so greatly improved that the line is una- ble at present to continue its fight against the English lines. Agent Emil iBoas of the Hamburg-American Packet company said to-day that while his company has not suspended the sl0 rate, 1t would in all probability do so in . few days.
 An agent of an English line when spoken to on the subject said that the rel reason for the suspension of hos tilities on the part of the German lines is that they have, had enough of the light and are now anxious to end the row and restore rates.
