OVER G30O0OOO
Consumed In Four Hours
Most Destructive ConAag-
ration Since the Memorable
Disaster of 1666-Hun-
dreds of Buildings in the
Disaster.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-one Of the
most disastrous fires in London's
history, since the great fire Of 1866,
broke ont in large block of build
ing lying eastward Of Aldelsgate
street and betwee that thorOughN
fare and Red Cross street, just after
o'clock this afternoon The
flames were famed by a strong
wind, and fed by highly iuhamN
mable stocks of Christmas fancy
goods and himsy dress materials Of
all descriptions that filled every
floor Of the six story buildings in
the old street. Consequently, the
conhagration gained Roadway with
surprising rapidity, and was soon
for beyond the possibility of being
checked by the few engines which
were earlv on the spot.
For four hours and a half the
flames had their own way, and it
was only after more than a hun
dred engines had worked an hour
that the chief of the fire brigade
sent out the signal that the fire
was under control. The district
ravaged includes part Of Australian
avenue, Paul's Alley, Cripple Gate
churchyard, Wood street square,
Monkwell street, Nichols Square,
! and Fore street.
At II o'clock to, night the fire is
still the scer of great excitement
Fifty engines are playing upon The
ruins, wagons are hurrying up coal
and tons of water are pouring iEto
the fiery debris, Thousands OF
people are trying to penetrate the
Gordon maintained by thousands
of policemen, reinforcements for
whom were hurried up, when soon
after 6 O'Clock an increase in the
outbreak led Commander Wells tc
make a requisition for more en-
gines upon the outlying stations
The scene must occupy the fire
brigade for several hours, especial
ly IN view of the grave danger o.
the collapse of shells of buildings
which fall now aud again with q
loud report. The latest accounts
indicate that nearly a hundred
warehouses have been destroyed
while the loss will probably exceed
93,O0O,0OO,
The historic church of St. Gile
has been much damaged, the prin
cipal damage being to the roof, th
windows, the baptismal font an
MIlton's statue.

NO INSURANCE WAR LIKELY.
BOARD AGENTS BACK FROM THEIR
CHICAGO MISSION.
Milo r. LRwrance Issues a Decidedly
Pointed Statement IN the
Situation-Other
Views.

Kansas City agents say positively that
there will be no fire insurance rate war in
this city. The delegation of board agents
| which visited Chicago returned yesterday
and reported that the situation in Chicago
had been greatly relieved; that a COM
promise between the union and n~on-union
companies was certain to be made, and
| that all instructions to agents which might
lead to a Generalization would be with
drawn at once.
Milo E. LaWrance, who was chairman Ct
the Kansas City delegation to Chicago,
feels strongly on the subject of the pub
licity given the action of the local agents.
He authorized the following statement yes
terday:
Undue publicity and Misrepresentation
as to the object of a business trip made by
insurance men to Chicago prompts 4 plain
statement of facts as to the insurance sit
uation, which is as follows: There Is a con-
tentiOn but no war of rates between the So
called union and non-union companies over
the reduction of rates on what is known as
preferred business that is situated c%ontigu-
Gus to Chicago. Knowing of this. We went
there to learn the true situation, and can
state that no rate war is likely to occur
there, here or elsewhere
Mr.. Lawrance's remarks regarding pub
liCity and misrepresentation were aimed
particularly at newspapers which nave
published sensational reports regarding the
insurance rate war. His report of the sit
uaIlOn ul0eTS from mat WHICH comes from
Chicago regarding the probabilities of a
settlement of the differences between nom
union and union companies.
1t seems that the non-union companies
have been paying a higher commission than
that allowed by the union companies IN
preferred business. Many agents represent
both union and n~on-union companies. The
non-union companies offer in settlement to
cease to pay extra high commissions to
agencies representing both union and non
union companies, but claim the right to
pay commissions of 17l2 per cent, which is
2z per cent higher than that paid by union
companies. to agencies which represent
n~on-union companies exclusively. The
union companies refuse to aCcede to this
demand. and ii is on this rock that the
proposed settlement may be wrecked.
Other members of the Kansas City dele
cation of fire insurance agents. while not
making as strong claims as does Mr.. Law
rance. agree that the situation Is such as
to cause little alarm. and that insurance
rates will probably be maintained through
out all the Western territory. There is said
to be an understanding among Kansas City
agents that rates shall not be cut. even If
ordered by the companies, at present. All
of the agents favor uniform reductions, but
only to a conservative figure, and are anx-
iouS to avert a rate war.
