Ing to over half million dollars started
In Chicago Monday morning in elevator
A of the Chicago & Pacific Elevator
Company and practically consumed the
two immense structures filed with wheat,
which are situated on the north branch
of the Chicago river, near Bliss street.
Elevator a, where the fire started, is sit
uated on the bank of the river. while
elevator e is farther back. The capacity
of the two buildings is ] 100000 bushels.
There was stored in them at the time
the fire broke out something like 1, ,250,-
600 bushels of grain, most Of this being
wheat. The fire, it is thought, origin
ated in the engine-room and spread so
rapidly that the fremen were unable to
get the flames under control. Before the
structure had burned to the ground the
flames threatened the large mailing
house of Hales & Curtis, adjoining, and
a special call was sent for ten extra en-
gines in order to make an effort TO keep
the flames from spreading. Firemen had
a narrow escape. They were working
close to the building when section of
wall fell, almost burying them.

The Japanese Government stands ready

seal protection, and is desirous also of in

The cooperation of Japan is said to be
of much Importance to the United States,
as the seal poachers and pirates have

at Yokohama and Nagasaki. Notwith-
standing this, Japan feels it to her inter

the Canadian poachers go to Japanese
ports and either ship under the Japanese
flag or take out sealing permits from the
British consuls there. The japanese
Government wants the prohibitions made

HANSON G. IIllABII w WHITE aGnz~s STORE,

here to take charge OF the Colfax it had
been the custom for the revenue cutters
in the various ports to fly the custom
house flags, but several months ago when
Secretary Gresham died and the vessels
OF the United States were notified to half
mast their flags in memory of the dis
tinguished dead, Capt Smyth had the
United States flag run up to the peak of
the Colfax for the first time. His Anne
ricanism led MIN to take this act upon
himself and from that day to this the
flag of the republic has remained at the
masthead of the Colfax. Not only that,
but Capt. Smyth's example was followed
by the commanders of the other vessels
of the revenue marine service, so that
now the cutters in all the ports fly the
United States flag.
Capt. Smyth was a gentleman of clas-
steal education and his manners were
open and cordial, winning the kind re-
gard of all who came in contact with
him. He was man of the most fearless
integrity, honesty and sincerity of pur-
pose, and certainly he had no tolerance
for duplicitty or double dealing. During
his stay in our midst he won the high
esteem of all with whom he came i'll
contact, and his death will cause great
regret to all who knew him.
The funeral will take place at II O'Clock
tomorrow morning at st. Johns Episco-
pal church, and the interment will be in
Oakdale cemetery. The officers of the
Colfax and of the North Carolina Naval
Battalion will act as pail bearers. and
the Naval Reserves, Wilmington Light
Infantry and crew of the cutter will turn
out as escort. The interment will be
with military honors.
The Colfax, which has been to Sayan-
all, Ga, returned to Southport yesterday
evening, and the news of Capt Smyth's
death was telegraphed there last night
to Lieut. Moore, who is in command.
The cutter came on up to the city and
her flag is at half-mast in honor of Capt
memory.

Sullivan Seriously Sick.

Springfield, ILL.,, January s1.-The
condition Of John l.. Sullivan is less
satisfactory this evening. The wounds
on his head are suppurating and are
much infiamed, and the patient is irri-
table, restless and feverish. A change
was made in the physician today from
DR. Dixon to DIR. Ryan. This change
was due to the fact that DR.. Dixon de-
clined to go to the hotel in the middle of
last night when Sullivan's wound
became painful. There is no immediate
prospect of the patients recovery and
should eresypelas intervene it would be
very serious matter for the ex-champion.
