started early yesterday morning in the
second floor of the six-story brick building

The Victims.
These dead bodies have been found: ia
cob Shapiro, Waterman; Isaac Penson and
an unknown man: Morris Dirschauer,

cause on the second floor of No. Z, and
spread with great rapidity through that
building and those Immediately adjoining.
Five alarms were sent in, and although a
large number of engines were playing on
the flames for hours, nothing could be
done to save the structures themselves
and the four buildings. numbered 3, 8,

Holding Republican Meetings.

The republican politicians held two meet
ings last night, one on Meridian Hill and
the other in Georgetown. Both meetings
were largely attended, and the different
candidates exchanged the usual compli-
ments. At the Meridian Hill meeting Mr.
Holland, DR.. Purvis, Perry Carson and
Daniel Murray held the fort, while over in
Georgetown went r. H. Key, C. J. Ortlip
Richard Laws, and later Mr. Holland ap-
peared. The meeting in Georgetown was
held in the old ZiCn Church, on 26th and P
streets, and was largely attended. The
sentiment of the meeting was seemingly
favorable to Holland, and his speech was
loudly applauded. r. H. Key of the seven
teenth district made a speech, giving the
reasons why he wanted to represent the
people here.
Richard Laws spoke in favor of c. j.
Ortlip as the white candidate, and when
presented to the meeting Mr.. Ortlp was
literally applauded.
Abraham's Hall, on 18th street extended,
was the place of the Meridian Hill meet
ing, and the candidates and different speak
ers entertained a large audience. Interest
in the political meetings is dying out and
it is said that they will be suspended for a
while, and the candidates will begin to or
ganize the several districts and make still
hunts for the nominations as delegates to
the national convention.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t is generally assumed that Great Britain,
in delaying her answer to the alleged repeat
ed requests of this government to submit
to arbitration her patent india-rubber bound
ary line in Venezuela, Is doing so in order to
persuade certain European powers to COM
bine with her against US. This is most like
ly, in spite of some contradiction. For a
century past England has never but once
fought a white people without raising a
coalition or alliance to help her, and the
practice is wholesome one, for the single
exception ended with Majuba Hill. The
strongest argument that the jingoes have
lately set forth against France is the threat
that England may join the triple alliance.
The English hunt in a pack except when they
covet the possessions of some dusky race.
But supposing that she succeeds in rails
ing combination, we need not be extremely
terrified. 1t is true that we have neglected
our navy. but all the fighting will not be
on the water; it is also true that some of our
coast cities are not as strongly fortified as
they should be, but all the hard hitting
will not be on one side; and we also can do
something in combinations. The United
States has hitherto refrained from entering
upon entangling alliances, but as circum-
stances alter cases, the time has perhaps
come when, by judiclous offers, we can in
duce couple of European powers to make
a very lively diversion in the enemy's rear,
or, at worst, get them all to observe a strict
mot British neutrality. We have few
friends, but England has not single real one
who will for any length of time pull chest
nuts out of the fire for her.
Those few recreants among us who insist
that we should wait until we are kicked very
hard, tell US that it would not have been
worth while to go to war for a few seals
or to save Nicaragua a fine" or now to
prevent the seizure of some gold milas in
Venezuela-but where is the spirit of ag-
gression on one side or of yielding on the
other to stop? Will it be at the stretching Of
the Alaskan boundary the control of the
1sthmian canal? The situation is becom-
ing intolerable, and war sooner or 'ater is
Inevitable. We must fight some day. md we
may as well have it over now. The Monroe
doctrine Is no jest, but Is the law of elf-pres-
ervation, and We will never have better or
juster cause.
And what a prospect would open before
us! The building up necessarily of home
manufactures and improvements, the stop
page Of the outflow of money whether for
excessive imports, bonds Of Indebtedness,
waste in foreign travel and other objects.
If they can stand it on the other side for a
few years, certainly we can. And when we
have tired out the other combiners we can
for the third time deal with our hereditary
enemy, and in such wise that she will never
again meddle with affairs on the American
continent NICK.
