NICARAGUA CANAL.
Hearings Before the House Commerce
Committee Continued.


WASHINGTON. April 2.-The hear
ings on the Nicaragua Canal were con-
tinued to-day by the House Commerce
Committee, Linden w. Bates of Chicago
being the speaker. He was familiar
with the reports of the canal company
for the past seven or eight years, and
had frequent conferences with the Off
GERS of the company and those who did
the surveying. He was now connected
with the Chicago Drainage Canal. He
compared the dredges used on the
Drainage Canal with those used on the
Panama Canal The former could do
the work of 10000 men with shovels and
wheelbarrows, and had a power greater
than all the machinery and men used
on the Panama Canal
Speaking from the standpoint of a
sproperty-owner on the Pacific Coast, he
said he thought the Nicaragua Canal
would prove the salvation of that sec
ton
Replying to a question, he said that
nearly all the prominent contractors on
the Chicago Drainage Canal were fa-
miliar with the Nicaragua Canal. In
his opinion most of them would like to
take part in the construction of the
Nicaragua Canal. They had some SO,
100000 invested in plants at Chicago,
and parts of these plants could be profit
ably used in Nicaragua. As an ex-
pert. he saw no reason why contractors
here would not undertake the work and
successfully complete It,

BRUNSWICK (Ga), April 2.-Over
half a million dollars worth of property
was destroyed by fire to-day. The
flames originated in the Plant Railway
system warehouse at II o'clock this
morning, and, famed by a high wind,
spread with great rapidity. AT IL o'clock
tonight the fire was still burning.
The property destroyed includes the
! warehouse property, cotton sheds and
freight warehouse belonging to the
Plant system, and comprising their To-
cal terminal freight facilities; a num-
Der of freight cars and between 10000
and 10000 ties, the property of N.
Emanuel and James E. Broadhead; the
Plant system docks, 25.000 barrels of
1osin and 1000 barrels Of spirits of tur-
pentine; all the wharf sheds, wholesale
grocery building, grocery stock and
warehouse buildings of the Downing
| Company; Segus' fishhouse, and vari-
Gus small fish and oyster houses on the
waters edge of Bay street; Briese-
nick's three-sory brick building, includ-
ing the machinery and supply stock;
the retail dry goods store of Cohen, the
wholesale liquor stock of Tobias New
man, the wholesale warehouse of the
I1Oy L I1dTUWdTe COInpdl1y dllO lut LII SS-
story Ocean Hotel.
| Extending up Monk street, the retail
store of the Hoyt Hardware Company
was burned, and the Bears two ware
houses of goods, the Haas Liquor Com
pany and the ice depot. In Bay street,
from Monk street up, the fire swept Her
zog's brick building, used as retail
! dry goods store; Hirsch'S wholesale and
retail liquor store and several smaller
stores, all in Block of brick buildings.
AT this hour it is impossible to gain
anything like an accurate statement OF
the losses, but the estimates place the
principal ones as follows: Plant sys-
TEN, $4,000; Downing Company, $40
coo; Briesenick and occupants, S6O,-
600; Lott, $4,000. Downing and Lott
covered by insurance.
Business was suspended, and the en-
tire population viewed the flames. When
Hoyt's building caught it was ex-
pected that the entire business portion
of Brunswick was going, and merchants
began moving their stocks to the out
skirts of the city. Pandemonium
reigned, drays and other vehicles were
driven at breakneck speed up and down
the streets to store doors, and flying
clouds Of sparks sent property-owners
home to guard their buildings.
j Waycross, Savannah and Jackson
vile were wired for assistance, but the
water supply was exhausted before the
neighboring firemen arrived in special
trains, rendering their presence useless.
| The fire interfered with the gas and
electric works, and no lights are burn
/ ing tonight, while the dense smoke
keeps Brunswick in total darkness.
! The Brunswick Rifles have been called
out to do guard duty.
Later.-At midnight the fire was un-
| der control The insurance is said to
be quite heavy.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Justice
Brewer presided to-day over the first
formal meeting of the Venezuelan Com
mission held for the past two weeks.
All the members were in attendance.
After a careful individual study of the
British blue book, they entered into a
discussion of its arguments and evil
dence.
To-day's session is considered the
most important so far held by the COM
mission, which is now possessed of all
the main features of the contention
and the principal points upon which the
dispute depends.
The question of sending one or more
representatives of the commission to
Europe to qualify the accuracy of the
documents submitted by Venezuela and
Great Britain was discussed, and while
no definite action was taken, the indis-
pensability of the examinations of the
Spanish as well as Dutch archives was
recognized, and no doubt is expressed
that search will soon be ordered.
The commission has now been at
work three months, and its labors are
thought to be about half completed

they talk of invoking the aid of the

WASHINGTON, April I'm the SEN
ate to-day Sherman introduced a bill
to regulate the use of a uniform flag in
the army and navy, its proportions and
the location of the stars in the blue
field. The flag proposed is to be used
on and after July 4, 1900.
The arrangement of the stars is as
follows: Three in each corner and a
central star around which shall be en-
twined a sufficient number of stars so
that the total number will represent the
thirteen original States, according to
their geographical location on the map,
assuming the top of the field to be north,
and other States are represented in the
circle of stars in the order in which
they We're admitted to the Union, plac-
ing the oldest star nearest the center.
The idea carried out in this bill is that
