The origin OF the fire seems to be
q mystery. All the occupants were
upstairs when the fire was first dis
covered. 1t had gained considerable
Roadway, having burned through
the walls of the first floor. when the
alarm was giuen. The Wilson's lost
nearly all their furniture and hud

THINKS MR.. PLATT'S POWER IS WANING
j. AMBROSE BUTLER OF BUFFALO. SAYS THE
PEOPLE IN HIS PART OF THE STATE
ARE AGAINST HIM-PRAIsE FOR
MR.. ROOSEVELT


J. Ambrose Butler one of the editors and pro-
prietorS of THE Buffalo News" was at the Impe-
rial Hotel yesterday. Mr. Butler is one Of the ''up
the State newspaper proprietors who are antag-
onstic 10 ex-senator Plat. He thinks Nj. Platt's
power is waning and his idea is that Mr. Plat VIII
secure severe setback at the coming State conven-
ton In speaking to Tribune reporter yesterday,
he said: II do not think that Mr. Plat will be
able to control the next State Convention. Up in
nv part Of the State the people. / mean largely
the Republicans are united against bosssm and
Plattsm In Erie County the feeling against Mr.
Platt is especially strong. In Monroe County the
fight against Mr.. Platt has narrowed down TO a
contest over the election OF the State Commissioner
Of Public Works Aldridge. The defeat Of Aldridge
will mean that Mr.. Platt's delegates from Monroe
County will be in a minority. OF course Mr.. Al
bridge has Mr.. Platt's influence and the patronage
of office but do think that he will win even
with all this to help him.
THE good municipal government we now have In
Buffalo has aroused public sentiment Since We
have uprooted the Democratic gang in Buffalo and
repudiated the attempted bosssm Of Platt we have
had an era Of municipal prosperity. While Aldridee
has appointed all Plat men when offices were TO be
filled yet these Platt appoinees have not any in
huence that amounts to anything. They could no,
altogether control ten votes

he will become a candidate or not but think that

FIGHT FROM A DEMOCRATIC VIEWPOINT
Colonel J. NJ Guffey. the wealthy OIL merchant oi

day Colonel Guffey Is a power IN the fehhs!'
vania Democracy. He never wants anything i'll the
way Of political honors for himself bu' ne u inter

instrumental in overthrowing the Republican COM
bination in Pitsburg the last Mayoralty election
and securing the election of the Democratic hom-
nee. He is just at present Interested In the quay
Magee Porter Hastings fight in Pennsylvania ana
the effect that 1t will have on the political anars
OF the State. He thinks that Senator Quay will win
He said:
II don't how Senator Quay can be defeated
in Pennsylvania with the loyal support that he has
1t is surprise to me TO understand how ne gained
the wonderful hold the people that he has
He seems to be winning and his friends are hght-
ing as hard If 1t their own personal battle
Senator Quays strength lies largely in the fact
that he has always been a party man. The men
that are fighting him are apparently doing 1t from
selfish motives"
Speaking of the probable effect that victory on
Mr.. Quay's part would have upon the State Mr.
Guffey said:
Mr.. Magee is the local power in Western Penn
sylvania. He fought Mr.. Quay and was defeated
Mr. Quay forgave him and assisted him TO get on

If he wins. and show up some Of Mr. Magee's pc

Colonel Guffey has always been looked upon
loyal friend and bitter enemy. While he is not
saving much about 1t. there Is hardly any doubt
but that he will plunge into the fight in Pennsy-
vania which James Kerr is making against william
F. Harr.ty. Mr. Kerr is an ex-member OF Congress,
and was c.erk of the last House OF Representatiyes
Mr. Harrity Is chairman of the Democrats Ma
tcna Committee He undertook TO run William
NJ. Singerly's campaign for Governor in Pennsy-
vana last fall. with disastrous results Later he
tried 10 elect Ex-Governor Pattison Of Pennsy-
vana. Mayor Of Philadelphia. with as poor re-
suits. These defeats and the loss of power
have made him somewhat unpopular in Penn
syvania superb organization turned
over him. and to-day he has nothing TO show for
it. Mr.. Kerr has come out boldly, opposing his
choice for the State chairman. This prec plated
the fight and while both sides resting now it is
assured that a warm fractional battle will be fought
out this fall.
Mr.. Kerr was at me Gilsey House yesterday; He
has already said about all that ne has say about

1t is generally admitted by the leading furriers
of this city that the consular and other reports
concerning the approaching determination OF seals
are unfortunately only too well founded Appar-
entity however the circumstance is not causing
any undue feeling OF uneasiness among fur dealers
They maintain that seal fur is not now so fashioh-

popular favor.

the firm were in town. Their representative in
charge. however. said:
There is no doubt that the reports Of small catches
of seals true. How could anything else DC eN-
pected after the way in which poachers have been
allowed to kill the female seals al the year round
] do not think prices will be affected very mucn

been so fashionable and so largely purchased as IL
was at time Sable and mink have been more
generally worn Still. unless protective meas
ures are adopted for seals. shall see the price
go up to a high altitude during the next few years
and in all probability the fact of its i'm ending
scarcity will bring into fashion again Seal fur Is
seems greater because of the large amount Of
material that is used in a garment now because OF
the voiuminous sleeves that are worn. There is
often sufficient fur in the sleeves alone to make
sack-coat such worn before balloons came
in vogue
j. Beaven of the firm Of A. Jaeckel. No II West
Nineteenth-st.. said:
The price of seal fur has gone up at least 80 per
during the last four years. and the time is
coming when seal will be a luxury only for the
very rich. While DO not expect the market prices
will be much disturbed this season yet II the re-
ports speak truly the price of the fur will naturally
go gradually higher until II will be one OF the
dearest in the market.
