READINESS and ability of our government
TO protect its citizens will act it is
believed, as a mCs5 influential deterrent
OF any similar outbreaks. The energetic
steps We have thus taken are all the more
likely to result in future safety to our
citzens in China because the imperial
government is, l am persuaded, entirely
convinced that we desire only the liberty
and protection of our own citizsns and
REDRESS for any wrongs they may have
suffered, and that we have no Interior
u.s'gns or ohj'ots political or otherwise.
emma will hot forget either our kindly
service to her citizens during her late war
nor the further fact that, while Furnish
ing all the facilities at our command to
iuIther the negotiation of peace betwecc
her and Japan, we sought no advantages
ana lnterposed no counsel. The govern
mehts of both China and Japan have in
special dispatches transmitted through
their respective diplomatic representatives
expressed in a most pleasing manner their
grateful appreciation Of our assistance to
their citizens during the unhappy struggle
ana OF the value of our aid in paving the
way to their resumption of peaceful rela-
tons.

TWO MEN KILLED
And 100000 Damage by
Fire at indianapolis.
AFalIing Store Floor Ignites immense
Stock of ParIor Matches.
Firemen Able Only to Prevent Sprsad-De.
pariment Poorly Equipped.

indianapolis, Ind , Dec. 3.-Fire re-
suited in the death of two men and in
jury OF three others, and did damage
amounting to nearly 500, coo in the
wholesale district on South Meridian
street, this morning, laying quarter Of a
square in ruins and burning out seven
large concerns. The dead are Patrick
Murphy, fireman; Frank Sloane, fireman.
Injured, Captain J. d. George Warren
Sloane, Frank Arnett.
The fire started at 3 80 by the collapse
of the third floor of the wholesale grocery
hous Of Schnull & Co. The falling debris
struck stock Of parlor matches and
ignitcd them. The house was full of
employees and clerks. and the escape of
many were marvellous. In two minutes
after the crash, the whole building was in
flames. The fire spread rapidly to the
wholesale drug house of Ward Bros. on
the south, and the liquor house of Eek
house Bros. and Woodford & Pohlman on
the north.
There was heavy explosion in Ward
Bros store, followed by the falling of
walls. and Patrick Murphy was pinned
in the ruins He was rescued with diff
Guilty, but died before reaching the hospi
of the wall fell, catching Frank Arnett,
Frank and Warren Sloane and Capt.
George. Frank Sloane was So badly in
jured that he soon aftcrward died. The
others were not badly hurt.
The fire was under control at noon. The
extreme cold weather impcded the work Of
the firemen, and all they endeavored to do
was to prevent the spreading of the fire.
This was difficult from the nature of the
stock carried by the burncdout concerns.

call attention to the unsatisfactory delimi-
tation of the respective jurisdictions Of
the United States and the Dominion of
Canada in the great lakes Mt the approaches
TO the narrow waters that connect them.
The waters in question are freQuented by
fishermen of both nationaltties and their
nets are there used Owing to the I'M
certainty and ignorance as to the true
boundary, vcxatious disputes and in
furious seizures of beats and nets by
Canadian cruisers often occur, while any
positive settlement thereof by an accepted
standard is not easily to be reached. A
joint commission to determine the line In

measured courses following range marks
on shore is necessity for which imme-
diate provision should be made.

icty and called for prompt and careful
attention. Either as a result of a weak
control by the central government over
the provincial administrations, following
a diminution of traditional governmental
authority under the stress of an over

OF the government fully and plainly ex-
hlblt what has been accomplished within
the scope of their respective duties and
present such recommendations for the
oetterment of our country's condition as
patriotic and intelligent labor and obser-
vatlon suggest. l therefore deem nv ex-
ecutive duty adequately performed at this
time by presenting to the Congress the
important phases of our situation as
regard to our intercourse with foreign
nations and a statement of the final prob.
lens which confront us, emitting except
as they are related to these topics any
reference to departmental operations. l
earnestly invite, however not only the
careful consideration but the seyerally
critical scrutiny of the Congress and my
fellow countrymcn to the reports CON

In regular legal form, though 1t looked as
if the work had been carelessly done, and
the backing (of coarse brown paper did
not contain any lawyers name. as is
usual, nor any other marks OF 1dentl1ca-

The letter was written on both des of
an almost square white sheet, and the
postmark on the envelope which contained
both letter and statement showed that the
letter had been taken up In the 20 col
lection yesterday morning, and that 1t had
passed through the main Postoftlce. Cor
oner Hawkins allowed the newspaper men
to take copies of the communications, and
then forwarded them at once to Captain
Lees.
Coroner Hawkins said he had no desire
to investigate the letter until he had rea-
son to believe that the writer had indeed
carried out his threat OF suicide.
"Both the letter and the statement Il
said the Coroner, "have the appearance OF
being genuine. Durrant or some one con-
nected with the defense may have pre-
pared this story, as this man said. The
statement shows careful work, and was no
doubt drawn up by some one who had
made close study of the case. If Durranl
could prove what is stated in these docu-
ments he would go forth from court a free
man.
