Among those consulted as 10 the pos
sibility of Mr.. Spofford's American
academy was Mr.. Bronson Howard,
who is without doubt our leading
Iiramatist and whose opinion on such a
subject is of high value. Mr.. Howard
said that he now heard of the project
for the first time, and felt that it was a
matter requiring careful consideration.
He ventured to suggest, however, that
the first question TO be raised is this:
Would such a body as an American
academy, by whatever name it might
- known, be appropriate to the repub-
&c of art, science and letters in DO
litical republic, t. e., Is the fundamen-
tai principle of such an academy cor
rect principle to develop in any way or
under any form in this country? He
would not say that it was not, off
hand; he would only say tina. this was
q very serious question.

A DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION
An Ohio Town Almost Totally
Consumed.
Many Families Rendered Destitute
and Homeless.
The Fire Department Unable to Cope
With the Difioulty-The Loss Foots
Up to Nearly a Quarter
of q Million.

BY the Associated Press.
WAPAKoNETA, o., Feb. 11.-Wapako-
meta is experiencing the most serious
fire in her history. The best business
block in the city has burned and other
blocks are on fire. People for elk squares
are on the top OF houses pouring water
on sparks. The fire originated in no.
ton store. A lot of frame shantiss in
the rear caught rapidly and spread
along the rear end OF the buildings.
Firemen could not reach the blaze from
the rear on account of the proximity of
the river, which is very high from recent
rRins. The fire became complete master
of the situation, owing to the fremen
being unable to fight it..
The fire department is very poorly
equipped, with nothing but a small
steamer and hand engine. Clothing
stores, cigar shops, notion stores, banks,
dry goods stores and drug stores were all
burning at the same time. The
light could be seen for fully 10
miles around the country. The Me-
chanics' block, the finest in the city, is
completely destroyed. The walls have
fallen in. The Lima fire department
was sent for, but were too long in get
ting here.
The Masonic temple, Royal Arcanum
and Knights of Honor halls are among
the ruins. The First National bank is
burning now. The fire ia not yet under
control at 20 a. m. AuglaiHe whole
sale and retail whisky store has burned.
Explosion after explosion followed as
the whisky barrels caught. Kauhn's
dry goods store. is in ruins. Eisher's
clothing store is totally destroyed. The
Buckeye Cigar company and a number
OF other stores are buring and cannot
be saved.
1t ia impossible to place any accuratd
estimate on the loss or predict the ex-
tent Of the fire. The loss will exceed
$3.50, 900. A hundred families, at least,
will be rendered homeless, and there
may be double that number.
At 3 80 q. N. the fire was still burn
ing, but with fair prospect of soon
being under control. The loss is now
estimated at 100000.

wOman's Chances on the Stage

"The feminine element is very impnr-
tant on the modernzstage, and genius
and every quality applicable to drasI
matte performance may find employs
ment there, - writes A. NJ. Palmer, ths
dramatic manager, in The Ladies' Home
Journal. "Acting is certainly distinct
and honorable profession open to wom-
en-, but it lacks that uniformity of re-
suit that belongs to effort in other di-
rections.
1.-The stage requires peculiar apti-
tude. l would counsel no one to at
tempt its chances without this aptitude
and capacity to learn. Good looks are
of no value whatever without special
intelligence. Under my management,
covering long period, many young
women have appeared. Some of them
have become famous; many others have
sustained themselves in the profession;
great many have failed. Positive
qualities are required. Weakness of
any kind-in voice or physical attrib-
utes-is a disqualification.
''It is not always possible to tell if
young woman can act at all until she is
seen on the stage, and this complexities
the difficulties of advice as to partic-
ular line of acting"

New YoRK, Feb. 10.-The World 8 spe-
cisl from San Salvador says: A message
from Tegucigalpa says Vasquez's army
made brilliant sortie against the be-
siegers, during which 100 of the enemy
were killed. Vaequez drove Bonilla and
Gutierrez back south, and ia engaged in
repelling repeated assaults by Ortiz on
the north. Three cannons were cap
tured by Bonilla. At the time the
message was sent Ortiz was preparing to
attack in force. Vasquez, it is said,
could hold out indefinitely.
MANAGUA, Feb. 10.-General Ortiz
telegraphs he has cut off band of In
dams who were on their way to join
Vasquez. A Telegram received here at
noon says there was terrible battle to-
day, which ended in Vasquez being re-
pulsed. Losses on both sides were
heavy. General Ortiz said he would be

Papers in the Boundary Dispute Laid
Before Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Documents in
the boundary dispute between Brazil
and Argentine, which has been refer
red to President Cleveland for arbitrs-
ton, were presented to the president
this morning by the representatives OF
each country. No ceremony was OBJ
served, but the occasion was made
rather impressive.
The Argentine minister, DIR. Zeballer,
is also the bead of special mission on
this subject appointed by his govern
ment, owing to his thorough knowledge
Of the questions at issue. he was the
first to call, at about IL O'Clock, accom-
panied by the secretary OF the special
mission and servants carrying volum
nous records.
Baron de Rio Branco, Brazilian envoy
on this special mission, came about II
O'Clock accompanied by Senior dc Men
donca and an extensive suite.
The cause in dispute grows out OF the
disappearance OF river which ct one
time marked part Of the boundary line
between Brazil and Argentine. The
problem to solve is to decide on the To-
cation of this old river and 30 fix the
boundary line. The appearance of the
papers indicate that the settlement oil
the question will require many months.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-The Chron-

Colonel Graham, commander of the
forces at the Preside, and Lieut..Col.

arrest at the Preside. All the army
men implicated refuse to talk, but the
story is that Colonel Young has pre-

Colonel Graham, alleging capricious
and tyrannical conduct against
his subordinatea, and that the
charges, in accordance with army
regulations we're presented to Colonel
Graham, the complainant's immediate
superior. to be laid before General
Ruger, commanding the department.
Graham, it ia said, Immediately ordered
the arrest of the complainant. Both
men are old in the service, being veter-

If General Rnger does not order court
