aster Might Have Been Averted but fo
Two Great Blunders.
Boston, May 16.-Somebody blundered
That's why Boston had fire which con
Bumed perhaps S., ,00O 900 worth of prop
erty yesterday afternoon, burning owe
about 10 acres of ground, and rendering
close on to 1000 persons homeless.
It may have been that there was loss
of life, but this probability cannot be
verified; neither could it be positively
disputed.
Just who the blunderer was will prob
ably never be ascertained. Present in
dications are that he is sort of compost,
picture of several individuals who will
probably shift the responsibility from one
shoulder to another.
AS near as can be learned the authors
of the trouble were some youngsters who
were playing under the "bleaching
boards" on the right-field side of the
baseball grounds.
Some repairs had recently been made in
that vicinity, and under the bleachers
was lot of rubbish, consisting of old
boards, chips and the like. To this one of
the boys is supposed to have touched a
match in a spirit of fun, and from the
tiny blaze thus originated sprung the
confagration. This was blunder No. 1.
Blunder No. 2 began when the specta-
tors in the bleachers discovered the fire
and tried to put it out themselves by
pulling the pile Of rubbish apart, job
in which they were assisted by several
attaches of the place, when an alarm of
fire should have been given The fremen
were not officially notified of the trou BILE
until it was
Beyond Their Power to Check It.
The high wind which was blowing at
the time carried the fire over the fence,
and into the tinder-b box dwellings which
adjoin the baseball grounds.
From these it jumped to Others until
nearly every structure in the district
bounded by Burke street on the north,
the tracks of the Providence division on
the west, Sarsfeld street on the south and
Cabot street on the east, had been razed
to the ground. That is a rough state
ment of the case.
There are some few buildings standing,
but many of these are injured to a greater
or less extent but they only serve to en-
phasize the general scene of disaster.
When darkness had set in last night
the right hand side of fremont street,
looking toward Roxbury, was picture
for painter. Beginning at Burke street
and ending below Wslpole street, and
then extending westward to the railroad
tracks, the vast plain which but few
hours before was covered by the homes of
hundreds of inhabitants was
One Mass of SmoIdering Ruins,
with nothing to mark the homes which
had existed there but the naked Chin
neys, around the bases of which the little
flames still fitfully played.
1t was II tough battle for the fremen.
A strong northwest wind was blowing at
the time, and this was the principal en-
emy which they had to encounter. 1t
was that which carried the little blaze
which, under ordinary conditions prob
ably would not have burned more than a
few bleaching boards, over into the nest
of dwelling houses, and then urged it
forward with such rapidity that it seemed
as if nothing could check it.

WAsHMoToN, Jan. 10.--Thers = rsa-
son to believe that Yang IN, the Chiness
envoy in Washington, \ not mak1ng
much progress towards securing the new
treaty which was to take the plaps si
the one considered nullifisd by tho Qeary
law. Upon his hzst arrival here it was
hoped that the United States was about
TO be offered opportunities for valuable
extension Of our trade privileges in
China. Expectation Of this seems to
have been based upon differences drawn
from the Chinese envoy's talk. His
views, and it was supposed those Of his
government, were so entirely in
accord with our own, that
it was supposed this trouble
some question would not prove an OBJ
struotion to an agreement. The COM
pulsory photographing law Is the STUN
bling block. To compel Chinaman to
be photographed he considers an indig-
nifty. 1t is said to be the belief of the
Chinese envoy that this requirement was
inserted with intent to affront the
Chinese residents Of this country. He
considers that his sovereign is affronted
In tho same degree.
This may prove an unsurmountable
obstacle to the agreement for treaty
from which few weeks ago much was
hoped for the good Of our trade privi-
lege in the rich Orient.

A REORGANIZATION

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 1y.-There is to
be reorganization of the interests in
the Lake Superior Consolidated mines,
and John Rockefeller, who, by his bond
interests secured by a trust mortgage,
had practically obtained control of the
greater part of the Mesaba range by an
expenditure that would hardly have ex-
ceeded $1,000, 900, will now figure in
the deal like other stockholders. Rookie
Teller was given bonds for his interest
in the Gogebic and Cuban mines for
money he had advanced. He was not
able to transfer the Cuban and Gogebic
properties and has returned the bonds
given for them, and will accept in place
of the consolidated bonds held for money
advanced to the road, bonds Of the road,
which have just been authorized. This
will wipe out the bonded Indebtedness,
which stands against the consolidated,
and insures the stockholders, who put
money in the mines, some return fol
