count of the conhagratiOn at Guaya-

ION the night Of October 5th the port
and city of GuayaQuil was visited by
perhaps the greatest fire in history-if
we except that of Nero's Rome.
"The fire is stated to have originated
in suspicious manner in the store of
North American Jews. Their store was
located about the center of the city. At
the time q strong breeze known as 'el
morrow was blowing. and it did not
subside for so hours, long after the fiery
element had devastated the whole city
to the north and northwest About two
thirds of the house property and nearly
We're destroyed. The only four banks in
the city were RACED S also three out Of
the four neWspap per offices, the custom
house-cOntaining some $1,000, 009 worth
of gOods-and the church of St. Domin-
go, relic of the Spanish occupation.
THE fire spread with indescribab BILE
rapidly, and at no time was the fire de-
partment able to cope with it. It simp-
~ burned itself out.
The blaze lasted fully % hours. Only
five people have been known to have
lost their lives. 1t was stated that in a
launch, laden with furniture which
caught fire and was swept down with
the tide to the island of Puma, i've sis
tiers of the Sacred Heart persisted, but
this could not be verified.

BICYCLE FOX HUNT.
Member of Parliament First in at the
Death.

London. Nov. 6.-Pa trick O'Brien, a
Parnellite member of the British house
of commons for Kilkenny city, used to
be an enthusiastic hOrseman and keen
hunter. For a year or more he has Civ
en- the wheel the preference to the
horse. In the commons he is supposed
to be as fanatica1 in his devotion to BIZ
cycling as Mr.. Balfour in his devotion
to golf.
For a long time it was a puzzle to Mr.
O'Brien's neighbors how he could har-
monte his old passion for hunting with
his new one for wheeling. Early in this
month he solved the puzzle.
The Meath hounds had met at Fox
brook, and had started a fox. After an
exciting run the fox crossed the BOyne
and gained the shelter of Muchwood,
where it was run to earth and killed
That part of the country is well inter
sected by roads which are in condition
we'll suited to cycling.
Mr.. o Brien was present at the meet
on his machine, and following the
hounds by way of the roads, was first
in at the death. Mr.. Watson, the master
of the hounds, congratulated Mr.
O'Brien on his novel achievement. He
concluded his speech by presenting the
brush to Mr.. O'Brien, who waved it
triumphantly, and rode off amid the
cheers of the country people, who had
gathered in haste to see where Mr.
O'Brien and his bicycle would bring up
in the chase

IN THE WHITE HOUSE LOT.
Three Bicycle Riders Arrested for
ScOrching.

Washington, D. G., Nov. 6.-Three BIZ
cycle riders were arrested yesterday by
around the eclipse at the White lot
They were booked at the First pre-
cinct station upon the charge of fast
riding. Solomon Johnson, Frank G. Da-
wilson and Benjamin Knoop were the
riders stopped by the Waterman
The police had nothing to do with the
arrest, as it had been understood with
the police that unless Col. Wilson made
objections to fast riding in the White
lot, there would be no objection on the
part of the police. Riders have been al
lowed to scOrch all they please so far
as the Metropolitan police We're con-
cerned, but it seems that the park
watchmen looked upon the matter diff
ferently, and the arrests resulted.
