NO FAST TORPEDO CRUISER.
Requirements Are Too High for the
Amount of Money Appropriated
by Congress.

Washington. June 2--Secretary Herbert
has given up hope of being able to build
a torpedo cruiser in accordance with the
act of June 80, 1890. BY this act an ap-
preparation of 1000 was made for the
construction of vessel of 750 tons dis
placement. having a speed of not less
than twenty-three knots. The depart
ment at the time was unable to find any
one willing to build a ship in accordance
with the provisions of this act, and the
money has remained uneXpended.
Recently Secretary Herbert gave con-
sideratlon to the act authorizing the
construction of this vessel. The matter
was referred to the chief of bureau OF
construction and repair and the chief OF
the bureau Of steam engineering, and II
is their report that has caused the secre-
tary to abandon the idea of building the
vessel, unless congress agrees to make
certain notifications In the act authoriz-
ing her.

SILVER BULLION.

New York. June 2.-The advance in sill
yer bullion is attributed TO three causes;
The buying by Paris for Russian account;
the decreased Leadville production and
the speculative buying of futures by local
interests based professedly upon the atti-
tude OF political matters regarding free
silver. The purchase Of futures on spec
ulative account through one broker alone
were 800, 900 ounces.

The welch Block Almost Gutted by Fire
Last Night

At l0:i6 last night an alarm or FIRE was
turned In from Box ?. the cause being n
blaze In the Welch Block Every de-
partment In the city turned out. the
chemical being the first TO arrive at the
scene. The fire originated In the oven OF
the German bakery, and In some manner
set fire to the tables surrounding, Al
first the house was fun OF heavy smoke,
making work difficult
A stream from the chemical was run In
to the bakery, and the fire In that part
OF the building was quickly extinguished,
In the mean time the rear OF the building
was burning furiously, and owing TO a
lack OF hose, that portion, despite the
strenuous efforts OF the fire boys, was
entirely gutted, For about an hour the
fire ragged, at the expiration Of which
time Il was well under control
The West Astoria Hose Company, re-
Gently organized, did excellent work, ar
riylng on the scene In an Incredibly short
space OF time, Their hose was badly
needed, and their opportune arrival was
fortunate. The other three departments
did equally well and It was due to their
efforts that the building was saved,
The block Is occupied by Gramms &
Co, retail grocers Welch Bros, insur-
ance and real estate, and owners of the
building; Corey Brothers, railroad con-
tractors; Exchange of all Nations, re-
tail liquor establishment; the German
bakery, all on the ground floor The up
per story was occupied as a lodging
house. and the occupants narrowly es-
capped with their lives, Nearly every
lodger lost his personal effects. Gramms
& Co. will sustain slight loss, II any,
but the other occupants all lost heavily.
The loss TO the building is about $1,000,
and the insurance Is but $1,000.
The total loss will aggregate something
In the nelghborhood of $4,000,
Another practical demonstration Of the
usefulness of the hydrant system was
given last evening, and the standing OF
this indispensable part of Astoria's fire
department will probably have raised In
the opinion of some aldermen by the next
meeting OF the common council.
At midnight the fire was entirely extin-
guished.

TO PROTECT THE BIRDS.
Appeal for Observance of bird Day"
in the Schools.

Washington, July t3.-An appeal for
the observance of Bird Day" in the
schools throughout the country has
been made by the Agricultural De-
partment. The object is TO devote the
day, to be set apart once a year or to
be combined with "Arbor Day. to in
struction in the value of our native
birets and the best means of protect
ing them from wanton destruction.
The idea originated with superintend-
ent of schools Baibcocll, of Oil City, Pa.
1t has been already adopted in two
cities, Oil City and tort Madison, Ia,
and Secretary Morton, the author of
"Arbor Day" and who endorses the
'sBird Day" movement, wants to see
the latter extended generally.
The department in its published
protest against attacks on birds, sug-
gests that it is equally important to
teach the best means of preserving the
timber, game and fish as to teach stu
dents how to develop the agricultural
products of the State.

There was great scare on the Mexi- can side Sunday night, says the No gales Vidette, occasioned by the news that letter was placed upon the desk of Presidente Ramirez and signed by Valencia and Guitimea, both leaders of the last Yaqui raid on Nogales, So- nora. The letter was full of threats against the officials and people on the other side of the line and very bitter toward Consul Mascarenas, who was largely instrumental in subduing the Yaquis. Arms were hurriedly col lected and should the hated Yaquis again appear their reception will be 2 warm one indeed as the indigp ant citizens are prepared to wipe tEem of the face of the earth
