SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
That Is the Loss Vancouver Suffers
from Fire.

Vancouver, B. c., July 3.-About
o'clock this afternoon, fire started in
the dry kiln of the Brunette sawmill
at Westminster, and the mill hands
attempted TO extinguish the blaze,
which spread rapidly, and by the time
the fire brigade reached the scene the
whole mill was in flames. Despite the
efforts of the firemen and tons of
water poured on the flames by the fire
steamer Surrey. the fire gained steadily
and, famed by the wind, reached
Laidlaw's salmon :.lnnery, adjoining
the mill, which, with its contents, was
totally destroyed.
The barges Bundaleer and North
west were loading lumber and che
former was quickly cast adrift and
escaped the flames. but the latter
caught fire and burned almost to the
waters edge. The mill, Lox factory
and nearly all other buildings were
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
500, 000 insurance about 100000. The
destruction of the mill win throw 200
hands out of work. The loss on the
cannery which had just commenced
the seasons operations, will be $4,000.
The Phoenix cannery was also des-
troyed on which the loss is estimated
at $4,000 and insurance at S30,00c.

FOREIGN TRADE.
Ideas as to How 1t May Be Extended

Ideas as TO How 1t May Be Extended
baltimore. July 3.-The Manufac-
turer's Record recently addressed the
state vice-president of the National
Association of Manufacturers and
let.ding manufacturers in the foreign
trade, the question:
What is necessary to secure a
greater extension of the foreign eX-
port trade of American manufactured
The replies to this are published in
this :, aeks issue. Hon. Warner Mil
Ter. of New York, takes the ground
that we must first establish and main
tain steamship communication with
all the countries with which we desire
Or expect to trade and that without
regular and rapid lines of transporta-
ton there can be little or no trade.
The government should help by giving
a subsidy or liberal mail fee. We
must also, he said, restore reciprocity
treaties and extend them.
Mr. E. 2. Wilson, secretary Of the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, takes the ground that American
manufacturers must have d practical
business organization free from politi-
cal or private control, which shall
adopt practical methods to advocate
and extend the doctrine sof reciprocity
The Lodge ana Davis Machine Tool
company, of Cincinnati, says we must
have a restoration Of reciprocity trea-
ties and American ships built in
America and owned by Americans to
insure fair and straight freight rates
TO encourage us.
Mr.. Stilibierce and Smith-Va;le COM
pany, who are already doing a large
export trade through their London
houses, say we must have frequent and
reliable means of communication by
regular lines of steamers at frequent
intervals, paying therefor liberal
subsidy.

THE NIEANEsT MAN.

I am always hearing stories of the
meanest man on earth. but 1 was told a
story on a man right here in Washington
Yesterday that gives him the distinction
above all others. The man keeps a big
store in one of the principal business
streets of the city. His wife died not so
Very long ago. He wanted fine looking
men for pail bearers. There was an en-
pIoyee in his store that struck him as a
model, and he asked him to help carry
the casket to the grave. The employee
consented. 1t took him three hours to
attend the funeral ceremonies from begin
ming to end. When he drew his salary at
the end of the week he found slip in his
envelope informing him that the pay for
the time devoted to the funeral had been
deducted. I suspect the man was glad
his wife had died. He was mean enough
for it-Washington News.

DAIRYING FOR THE MOST PROFIT.

Profits in Dairying vary with the
articles produced, as well as with thel
prices of such articles, the breed, cost OF
feed, and care, says a writer in the
American Agriculture. The studies OF
New York experiment station results
show that the seven breeds under test
made an average profit for ten months
period Of $3S per COW. reckoning the milk
as worth $1.2S per pound or about 2igc
per quart. If instead of selling the milk
at this price, IL had been set for cream
and the cream had been so SKINNED as
to contain 20 per cent. of fat (the stand
ard quality) and sold at 2Oc. per quart.
the profit would have been S71 per COW.
or nearly three times as much as the
profit from milk. Had the milk been con-

profit would have been S25, while if put

The cost of feed. etc, in this test has

Great Powers Give Al Tip to Bull
Garia.
London, July 4.-The Standards Ber-
lin correspondent says that the great
powers which signed the Berlin treaty
have given a friendly warming to Bull
garia against raising the Macedonian
question.
The Times dispatch from Berlin says
there is every possibility that serious
events are imminent in Macedonia.
Large sums of money have been col
lected in Bulgaria and Martin rifles
purchased and secretly sent into Mace
donia.
The Times goes on to say: An out
break would entail such terrible afro
cities through the inability of Turkey
to control the turbulent Albanians
that the European powers may be
compelled to assemble a congress to
dixszss the sultan's offer of a grand
system of reform for the Christian

her child in the Niagara river. Soon
afterward she was incarcerated in the
insane asylum and then she stated
that she had given her child into the
custody of friends. Since Cottier be-
gan his suit for divorce every effort to
compel his wife to disclose the where
abcuts of the little girl has failed.
Mrs Cottier also pleads that her hus-
band would harrass the child if he
found out where she is. Judge Payne
declared positively that the woman
must disclose the whereabouts of the
child, but that if necessary he would
enjoin the father from having any
communication with the girl pending
the trial of the case. For several years
Mrs. Cottier has been employed in
New York and Washington as an eX-
pert stenographer. When court ad-
journed the woman still refused to
give the desired information.

various changes of a minor nature to
the laws governing the association
which were adopted after a. lengthy
discussion. The most important
change made was that of placing the
selection of the secretary of the asso-

committee instead of being elected by
the convention as now. The officers
of the junior prohibition Ieague met
this afternoon to make their annual
report and to discuss plans for the
