not been determined.
The fire, though small one, occurred at
a critical point. and but for The effective
work OF the department. would have spread
to several marine stores. ice houses and
shipping.
Giittcring spark-louds rose from the burn
ing mill and fell among the spars of ships
aud the rigging OF river craft, over the
decks OF steamboats,, and upon the roofs
of nearby buildings.
The river had not been SO brilliantly
lighted since the night the Lady of the
Lake went up III smoke.
INFLANMA BLES ALL ABOUT.
The sawmill OF Carter 4 Clarke stood
on the river side OF Water street, at the
foot OF Tenth street. 1t was a two-story
structure, fitted with boiler engine and
machinery for saving and splitting wood.
Adjoining il on the west was the stable
containing four horses and various traps.
The loit was filled with pine kiDdiing.
AT the rear or the mill were tie docks
on which We're piled hundreds of cords of
wood. Moored at the docks Were the
schooncrs ana iongDoats Mary lcnby,
Mary Anne Shea, Minnie TIticn, 0sceoia,
Silver Star, Shining Light. and others.
On the west were the houses of the Great
Falls Ice Company, and lying at its dock
was the steamer City OF Richmond.

A few yards further eastward were the

Three river men, Charles Raclly. Frank

chemical engine and truck C, started on the
long run TO the boxes. The three alarms
caused confusion. Policemen Hattuu and

soon sounded. Tie impression OF the police
is that the flames started from u badly
banked fire in the furnace.

LONDON CoMMENTSvARY.
How the New York Yacht Clubs Find.
Ing Is Accepted.

London, Jan. 3l.-The Standard. to-
morrow, commenting on the findings OF the
committee of inquiry OF the New York Yacht
Club, in the matter OF the charge made by
Lord Dunraven against the Defender syn
Gicate, will say;
1t may be acknowledged that the find
ing although hostile TO Lord Dunraven's
is well calculated TO lay the unpleasant
business to rest. The paper adds that IT
regrets that Lord Dunraven was unable
TO hear all the evidence.
No doubt If he had, and deemed 1t
sufficient 10 elucidate his suspicious. he
would have been the first TO admit his
mistake. II remarks that the committee
carefully avoids saying that Lord Dun
raven had no grounds for his charge
/ The Chronicle will say: THE committee
was so strong and distinguished that its
finding must be received. as a conclusive
verdict. The verdict is expressed in
language of the most studied courtesy and
consideration. The only question that
now remains, is, what is Lord Dunraven
going to do? II Will be the opinion. we
are confident, of all British lovers OF the
best kind of sport that there is only one
rcourse open for him, and that is to make
an instant ami complete apology in terms
which shall be exhaustive and which shall
rival in consideration the language of the
gentlemen whose painful duty it has been

WALLER MAY BE RELEASED.
One Reason Given hor the Delay In
Informing Congress.


IL Is understood that the state Depart
ment is only delaying its transmission TO
Congress of the docHpents in tie case OF
eX-United States Consul Waller, OF Mazda
gascar, now imprisoned III France, pending
negotiations still ProSfeding by which 1t
hopes TO announce release of Waller
from prison. No other Explanation has been
youclsared regarding the matter.
The Senate resolution. calling for all
the documents in the case, was passed
December 8, and a similar resolution,
which was introduced in the House, was
amended after consideration by the For
eign Affairs Committee, aud presumably
after conference with the State Depart
ment To exclude the correspondence be-
tween Conrad Wetter, Mr.. walters Sue
cessor in Mada gascar, with Assistant
Secretary Uhl, it having been learned that
il would he incompatible to public iu-
terests to publish these.
The House resolution wsS adopted Decem-
ber 2Sth and very soon afterwards ii was
known al the State Department that all the
letters were copied for transmission. 1t
was also understood that these papers got
as far as the White House ON their way to
theCapitol. Therethey seem tO have rested
Developments are daily expected in the
negotiations and probably unless walters
release is shortly secured the correspondence
will GO to the House of Representatives
The objection to that course is said to be a
desire that the friendly relations so long
subsisting between the United States and
the French Republic should not be even
temporarily interrupted.

THOSE RMENIAN RESOLUTIONS
President Said TO Not Favor Forward
ing Them 10 the Powers.

There is reason to believe that the
request made in the Armenian resolutions
adopted by the Senate and House, that Il
copy of these resolutions lie transmitted Ia
the six treaty powers OF Europe, does not
meet with the favor OF the administration.
The President and Secretary Of state
have eobtainctl the vie VS. of several prominent
persons on the propriety OF transmitting
such request and ii is said that as a
result they are impressed with tue hclief
that the government of the United states
will have exceeded its International func
tions should the suggestion OF the Senate
and House be acceded to.
The question came up at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday and it is understood that
the President and his advisors do not see
their way clear TO comply with the wishes
of Congress in the manner in which action
is asked. The matter. however. is said
to be still in ahcYance.
