BIG FIRE AT OTTAWA.
Several business Places burned Out
at Loss of 100000,

ottawa, Dec. 3.--The most disastrous fire
in the history of this city broke out this
afternoon about 1890 o'clock in Mrs. Tur-
ner's confectionery store at 1OS Sparks
street. The losses win probably foot up
100000. The fire had gained considerable
headway before the alarm was sent IN, and
by the time the fire brigade got to work it
was beyond control, the entire building be-
ing In flames.
Macdonald Brothers establishment, ad-
joining, quickly caught and was destroyed.
Holbrook's tailoring establishment, next
door east, was the next to go.
The second floor of this building was oc-
cupied as offices, while the third story con-
tained the Masonic lodge rooms.
Continuing on its way east, the fire next
attacked c. Ross & Co.'S establishment.
The contents of this building were of a
most inhammable character. and 1t was a
blazing furnace in few minutes. Here
the progress of the fire was checked, for
tunately for the Dominion Methodist
church, which adjoined IT, and which had
been in great danger.
Ross & Co.'s loss is about 100000, insur-
ance 100000.
Il. Partney, owner Of the building in
which the fire started, loses $4,000. partly

Holbrook's loss is $4,000, also partly in

$4,000.

a slightly injurious effect on American
maritime interests.
Prior to 1883 no vessels of the United
States were subject to tonnage dues. This
policy had prevailed since the United
States became a nation and when COM
merce was conducted between the United
States and the Hanzatie league, Prussia,
Hanover and Mecklenburg-Schw The
Presidents proclamation of 1883 therefore
exempted vessels from German ports from
tonnage dues imposed upon vessels from
other countries which Disseminated
against the United States.
Mr.. Chamberlain said this afternoon he
would, in accordance with the President $
proclamation, Immediately begin the pre-
paration of regulations to carry the pro-
clamation into effect. The regulations will
be issued In circular form and a copy will
be sent to all United States navigation
officials at the ports of the United States.
When Mr. Baxard was Secretary of
State, in 1886, this tonnage question was
the subject OF extended correspondence.
and was formally submitted to Attorney
General Garland for an opinion as to the
bearing of the favored nation clause upon
the matter under debate Mr.. Garland
ruled that the favored nation clause aid
not apply, but Mr.. Won Alvensteben, then
German ambassador, quoted the provis-
ions of a treaty entered into in 1928, be-
tween the United States and Prussia, and
insisted that Germany was entitled to tho
same favorable conditions as to tonnage
dues that were accorded to other coun-
tries.
The discussion which was most vigor-
Gus. ended by the United States acceding
to Germany's request, and on Jan. 26, 1885,
the President issued the proclamation
which he now revokes.
The tonnage tax levied by the United
States is applied to the maintenance of
the marine hospital service. The amount
collected last year was little over $685.
