this government has been and now is

Omaha. Feb. 3.-Shortly before +
O'Clock tonight fire broke IL in the
show window of the Boston store and
five minutes later the entire building
was ablaze. The store was crowded
with clerks and customers. it being
the custom TO keep open Saturday
nights. The third floor was occupied
by a night school.
CONSERVATION reigned among the peo-
pie in the store and Il mad rush for the
exits began. Men, women and children
crowded for the streets, the sales girls
and cash girls leaving their wraps and
other belongings.
Everybody escaped alive, but q
number of girls, employed in the mil
linery and cloak department, were
scorched and blistered, several losing
al The hair from their heads.
On the west stood st. Nagdaline's
church. It was quickly on fire and
burned like a tar barrel.
On the south, across Douglass street,
was the Y. NJ. G. A. building and a
row Of three-story flats. On the ground
floor of the Y. NJ. c.. A. Building is
Thompson q Belden's drygoods store.
This firm suffered considerable loss.
The upper floor of the flats was cleaned
out.
The intense heat from the Boston
Store building kept the firemen out of
that portion of Douglass street half
an hour and this gave the flames a
chance to get across the street.
SO rapidly did the Boston store burn
that the cashier abandoned the cash
in the drawer and the bookkeepers
had to- leave the books on which
they were working. The safe door was
open but no II dared to tempt death
by trying to close it. The escape of
the inmates from the burning finder
box was all but miraculous.
The loss to the Boston store is $685.
600. Other losses are estimated at
100000. Insurance on Boston store
$4,000.

Suit.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 3.-The suit
against the Kittson estate for an al
legged dover interest by Mrs. Crevier
in the $4,000. 600 left by Commodore
Kittson, was dismissed this morning
for lack Of proof in the probate court.
The suit was on a contract between
the two lawyers and Mrs. Crevier,
which was based On the claim that
Mrs. Crevier was the first wife Of
Mr.. Kittson. The testimony of Mrs.
Crevfer's brother and on, of the
priest who married her to Mr.. Creyier,
and others, was all against the claim,
Mrs. Crevier's brother and son testi-
flying that she had never claimed to
have been married to Mr.. Kittson.
but that the contract was signed
through a misunderstanding as to its
meaning. The suit tended to tie up the
big estate.

Rio JaneirU, Jan. 31-The action of
Admiral Benham in protecting Ameri-
can ships i'll an effort to land at the
wharves in this harbOr has had a salu
tary effect. The English merchants
ships and those of other n~ationalities
are now coming up TO the wharVes
without any sign Of molestation OF
the part Of the insurgent vessels.
Admiral Benham'S bold stand against
interference with the vessels Of his
country is generally applauded.
The exchange Of shots between the
insurgent and government forces has
practically ceased during the past
tWenty-four hours. This is the first
time for four months that a day has
passed that there has not been more
or less firing.
The unofficial warning Which Admiral
Benham gave Admiral D'Gama that
firing upon the wharyeS for the mere
purpose of creating 4 blockade by ter
ror must cease, has been needed. All
foreigners are delighted with the re-
suit of the American admiraPs con
duct.
The commanders of foreign fleets
held Il conference today to discuss the
action of Admiral Benham and reso-
buttons were adopted fully endorsing
the course that he pursued.
Admiral D'Gama feels grieved at
Admiral Benham. He sent Il letter to
the American admiral today, protest
ing against the ostentatiouS manner
in which tba American commander
Inundated him. He says he will yield
for q time to this superior force, but
as he is compelled to allow American
ships to come to the WharyeS, he Of
ticially notified the representatives of
all other nations that they may do the
same.
He declares that the insurgents held
the harbOr for five months, and says
that now, if the shore batteries fire
on him, lie will be unable to reply for
fear of hurting neutral ships, and will
also be unable 10 protect his men.
Admiral DGama also sent 4 letter
to the officers who gathered in con
ference to discuss Admiral Benham's
action, asking that he might be per-
mitted to lombard the city without
notice.
Admira Benham said later to an
Associated Press correspondent that
he would grant the %insurgent admiral
permission 10 lombard the city. but
he would require the forty-eighf hours
notice to be given that n0n-combat-
ants may be able TO seek shelter.
