President Hitchcock Claims Nicar@ qua
Canal Company Has Done Its Part
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-HIram Hitch
cock, president of the Nicaragua Canal
company, has written a letter TO Secre-
tary Olney in reply to Senior Rodriguez
statement. which the secretary sent 10
the senate.
Mr.. Hitchcock says that when Senor
Rodriguez says the company has for
feited its charter because of neglect to
make the surveys as required, ''he
omits to inform you that the final sur
veys and location of the canal were
made and concluded by a commission
of engineers in strict conformity with
article AZ of the concession and were
formally accepted by the government
of Nicaragua on Oct. 5, 1883.
Mr.. Hitchcock also asserts that the
company has fully complied with the
requirements of the concession. 'The
letter of the minister" he concludes,
''is an attack upon the integrity of the
Maritime Canal company, and its con-
cessiOns and on behalf of that COM
pany i ask the protection and aid OF
the government of the United States
in the defense and maintenance of Its
concessionary rights and its property"

A Big BLOCK BURNED.
The Fire Loss at Philadelphia

Thirty Buildings Destroyed Before the
Flames Were Gotten Under Control.
Several FIremen Injured - One Man
Dropped Dead-A List of the Losses.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-The fire here
DESTROYED one of the most valuable
blocks of real estate in the city. Ii
was the block bounded by Market,
Thirteenth, Filbert and Juniper streets,
in the very heart of the city. A few
steps to the right looms the massive
city hall: around the corner stands the
Pennsylvania railroad terminal and
directly across the way John Wana-
makers great store stretches from
street to street. So fierce was the
fame and so strong the wind which
aided its destructive work that even
this building, distant the width of
Market street, was saved almost by
miracle from total destruction and Mr..
Wanamaker places his loss at 100000.
The total loss Is variously estimated
at from 81 ,000, 900 to 81, 800, 900. but IN
the chaos and confusion now existing lt
is all but impossible TO secure accurate
figures. The losses are very generally
covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the basement
of the six story building, extending
from 1909 to 1917 Market street, occu-
pied in the lower floors by Hanscom
Bros, grocers, and above by the UNI
brella factory of Hirsch Bros. The
smoke was discovered by policeman.

the fire made such headway that before

uncomfortable rapidity it then spread
in all directions, destroying about 80
buildings before 1t had been hnally
controlled The fire reached the big
tower of Wanamaker' store about an
hour after il started and the energies
of the department were concentrated
. upon saving that building. The tower
was entirely destroyed and other dam
age done.

stroyed and the estimated losses were

With regard to the rumor that Senator
Sherman might reconsider his accept

phatically.
Mr. Sherman, said he, 'was ten
dered the premiership by Mr.. McKin-
