FIRE IN CHIC AGO.
Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Will Probobly Cover the Loss.

Chicago, March 12.-Fire broke out at
o'clock this evening on the fourth
floor of the wholesale grocery house OF
John A. Tolman & Co. at Michigan
avenue and Lake streets, and before
it was extinguished resulted in a dam
age of about S350,000.
Chase & Sanborn, proprietors of the
big coffee house at s, 10 and u Lake
street, will share a considerable por-
ton of this loss, while the building,
which is the property of Joseph Kohn,
is damaged to the extent of $4,000. 1t
is not known how the fire started. The
stock that was destroyed by the flames
was badly damaged by smoke and
water. Representatives of the Tolman
company said that the stock of this
concern was worth 100000 and esti-
mate that the salvage will not eX-
coed third of this amount. Chase
&, Sanborn will probably sustain a dam
age of $4,000.

to have him show cause why he should

JACKSON AND WALLING.
Former Must Hang, But the Latter
May Get Reprieve-Jackson
May Make a Confession.

Frankfort, KY, March 12-This eve
ming Governor Bradley handed down
his decision in the case of Scott Jack
son, convicted of the murder of Pearl
Bryan. 1t is that he viii not interfere
in Jackson's behalf Jackson must
therefore, be hanged March 20 next.
The case of AlonZo Walling, Jack
sons accomplice, was not mentioned
by the governor. This silence indicates
almost positively that Walling will get
a reprieve, probably for 80 days. 1t is
believed that this reprieve will be given
largely with the hope that Jackson will
make a confession, thrgwing more light
on Walling's connection with the muir
der.

BIG FIRE AT KANSAS CITY.
Flames Sweeping Through the Audi
tOrium building.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. q, a. m.-Fire
broke out this morning at 1:15 O'Clock in
the big auditorium building, Ninth and
Holmes streets. which contains the biggest
theater in Kansas City and one of the
big hotels
The fire originated in the servants quar-
ters on the sixth floor of the hotel. The
widest excitement prevailed among the
guests of the hotel, but no one was hurt
in the panic which followed the alarm of
fire and all escaped TO the streets
AT lao O'Clock the fire was believed to
be under control, but at 1:55 o'clock the
flames burst forth again and seemed to
be making headway against the efforts of
the firemen.
AT 2:l5 a. m. the fire had eaten down
into the fourth story of the building, and
1t is believed the entire structure is DOOM
ed
All persons have been ordered out of
the building. All the guests on the low
er floors of the hotel have succeeded in
saving most of their personal effects.
The Auditorium building cost about $225,-
600, and is owned by Alexander Frazer
who also owns the hotel and the furnish
ings.
At 2:3O O'Clock the fire is still burning
fiercely. The east wall threatens to fall
at any moment, and all spectators have
been driven back from the streets. A part
of the roof has already collapsed.
The building will be destroyed, but II
stands alone and there is little danger of
the fire spreading.

GERMANY NOT TO BLUFF Us.
story of n Menacing Naval Demon

Washington, Dec. @.-The assertions
that the German fleet, under Prince Hen
ry, will so to Samoa and Hawaii. thus
creating menacing situation for the
United States are ridiculed in all official
quarters here. When the report was
called to the attention of the German rep
resentatives they laughed heartily at the
idea of a German demons tration against
Samoa or Hawaii. Nothing of this kind
has even been considered. The German
fleet will go to China via the Suez canal,
and its destination is I<iao Chou bay. Ger
many, the United States and Great Brit
ain are parties to a tripartite arrange
ment for the government of Samoa, and,
although the plan has not proved salts
factory, there has been no recent friction,
and at no time a condition which would
call for a naval demonstration. Germany
has taken no interest in the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States, and her
only interests there are those of the 1,400
German citizens, who form a considerable
part of the wealthy sugar planting COM

Pensacola. Fla, Dec. 20.--There was cons
erable activity on board the United States
steamer Montgomery yesterday owing to
information having reached her comman-
der to the effect that several suspected
hlibusters were in the harbor. Conse-
quently the cruiser started fires and made
preparations for getting underway at q
moments notice. The crew of the cruiser
worked In conjunction with the revenue,
cutter Penrose.
Later in the afternoon the Montgomery
put squad of armed men, in chage OF am
officer on board the Penrose and they will
be relieved every twenty-four hours un-
I'll further developments. The Montgom-
cry also fitted out several of her boats
with guns, ammunition and armed crews
to patrol the harbor while the Penrose
did duty outside around Warrington. All
the boats OF tnD Montgomery have orders
to fire two blank charges to bring to any
suspected vessed, and upon her ueglecting
to stop, a third shot, this time a loaded
shell, is to be fired.
The Somers ". Smith, a pilot boat,
vessel called the Britannia. and a schooner
are loading here under official supervision.
The Smith Is said to have run several ex-
petitions In the past. having escaped the
Montgomery once, and as she came I'm
from sea on Thursday night and has been
taking ON board all day long cargo of
some description, an unusual proceeding
for a pilot boat the Montgomery intends
to follow her as soon as she gets under
way.
The Britannia and the schooner have al
so been taking a cargo of boxes, supposed
TO be ammunition, on board and, 1t is re-
ported that the Dauntless is awaiting
somewhere outside the bar in order TO
ship the munitions al sea. tt Will thus
be seen that a well organized expedition
to Cuba Is apparently being equipped here.

CRISIS IMMINENT IN CHINA.
RUSSIA PROCLAINIS OCCUPATION OF
PORT ARTHUR.

Japan Starts Large Squadron to
the Scene on Receiving the Notif-
catiOn-A Suspicion That Great
Britain Is Working in Harmony
with JRpan-RumOr Current at
Berlin That Great Britain Is to
Seize Quelpaert Island.
Yokohama, Dec. q, a. m.-Russia has
notified Japan of the temporary occupa-
ton of Port Arthur and a large japanese
squadron has left Nagasakl.
Berlin, Dec. q, a. m.-The rumor is cur
rent here that the British East Aslatic
squadron has been ordered to sail for Quel-
paert Island, at the entrance of the Yel-
low. sea, presumably to occupy it.
The tone of the German press is favor
able to some such action on the part of
Great Britain.
Quelpaert Island which is sixty miles
south of Corea, is forty-fve miles long and
thirteen miles broad. 1t is subordinate to
Corea and has been used as a penal settle
ment.
London, Dec. 20-An unconfirmed report
is current here that part of the British
squadron will be stationed at Wei-Wei
this winter. If true, this indicates that
the British are working in harmony with
Japan. The latter power still occupies
Wei-Wei pending payment of the Chinese
war indemnity.
The evening newspapers are much dis
turbed over the situation. "And what do
we get" is the burden of their complaint
and they all insist upon the necessity for
immediate action.
The Globe says: Russia and Germany
now have the two most important strate-
gical positions in Northern China, and
Great Britain, whose commercial interests
there are ten times greater, must be con-
tent with crumbs from the st. Petersburg
and Berlin tables"
The Pall-Mall Gazette re-echoes the
Standards inquiry as to Americas atti-
tude, and says: "Of course the partition
of the coast which is bound to come, will
not be confined to Russia and Germany.
Every naval station in the world is active
ly concerned in the disturbance of the
equilibrium in the far east, Great Britain,
France and Japan especially. But the
United States cannot be treated as a guam
tity to be ignored. The tame acquiescence
with these seizures is not worthy of our
past and Is fatal to our future. We may
remark that we shall not be without sym
pathzers as the japanese will most joy
fully back any scheme to redress the Bit
ter humiliation they have suffered at the
hands of Russia"
Advices received here fram sRaRisn show
that France is awaiting Great Britain's
action. If Great Britain follows the lead
of Russia and Germany and occupies a
seaport France will forthwith follow suit
The newspapers are still discussing the
partitions of China"
The Daily Nails dispatch from Shang-
hal denying that Russia has seized Port
Arthur probably only means that thesRus-
slams have not yet actually landed
