CLEVELAND PROPERTY BURNS.
Riv Businens Buildings in Ashes-
Fire Famed by High North
west Wind-AbOut Seventy.Five
Per Cent Covered by Insurance.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 24.-Fire broke
out in the business center of the city yes
terday afternoon, and, famed by a high
northwest wind. destroyed property worth
close to a million dollars. The Powers
block on Frank fort street, owned by j..
b. Perkins, six stories high and made of
brick, was consumed above the second
story. and the rear of the brick Wiltshire
block. six stories high, owned also by Mr..
Perkins and fronting on Superior street,
was burned. The fire started by the ex-
ploson of large can of benzine in the
lithographing establishment of Johns &
Co. in the Powers block. Windows were
blown out and several of the employees
escaped with difficulty by the fire escapes
and bridge leading to the Wiltshire
block.
The losses will be much heavier than
at first estimated and it is believed they
will come close to $l,OOO,OOO. The prin-
cipal losers are Johns & Co., Autograph
ers, Powers block, $225,OO0 j. L. Hud
son. clothier, on stock, $4,000; j. b.
Perkins, Powers block, 100000; j. b.
Perkins, on Blackstone building, $4O,-
600: J. Il. Perkins. on Wiltshire block.
$4,000; H. c. Rouse, on Century build
ing, 100000.
The losses of scores of tenants, espe
cially in the Powers and Blackstone build
ings, the latter of which was occupied
mainly by lawyers with their costly IL
braries. will be heavy. About IS FER
cent of the losses are covered by insur-
ance. Lieutenant McFeers of the fire de-
partment, fell through the floor in one
of the buildings and was badly hurt.

SENATOR DANIELS VIEWS.
He CiVis Them il a Letter on Inc
Arbitration Treaty.
HIS SENATE REMARKS MISQUOTED.
lie Says Their sense Wa Perverted an"
NoOne Could Ien from the Press h"-
ports of the secret session What
They Nerc-His Opposition.

LYNCHBURG. VA, Feb. 2i.-special.--
senator Daniel has written letter to
Mr.. Lawrence +. Nichols, president OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
Literary and Debating Society. OF this
city. i'm which he briefly outlines his po-
sit.on on the arbltnton treaty. Follow
ing are extracts from the letter:
THE discussion OF the Anglo-American
treaty now pending In the Senate. has
been in secret session, and 1 am not able
to send you the condent-al correspondence
concerning it, because II has not been
made public, and there are no speeches
which have been made except Ia secret
sessl ions. My own remarks on the subject
In secret session. which like those OF
others, have been referred TO IN the
press. have been msquoted, and their
sense perverted. NO one could judge cor
rectly Of my views by the press reports.
CHIEF OBJECTION.
II send you a copy OF The pending treaty.
My chief objection was that IL submits
hy anticipation ali questions which miy
hereafter arise between the United states
and Great Britain. without the action ot
the Senate In each case. or rather m
each class Of cases. and that 10 disfran-
chises the great mass boy requiring that
they shall be selected from tho judiciary
"It should De- conformcd 10 our insu-
tutions. which are different from those
Of Great Britain. and. under no circum-
stances. could 1 vote for a treaty which
advocates the functions Of the body OF
which / am member. which turns the
judiciary into o. body of diplomatic agents.
There is inherent difficulty m construct
ing permanent board 10 consider DIS
putcs which have never arisen. There are
some matters which no nation can ever
afford 10 submit TO arbitration-such
matters. for instance. as those which
led 10 the war of independence and the
war of 1872.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
"Wo should be sure before signing a
treaty. TO See 10 it that clear and DIS
tinct limitations were put 10 the class or
questions 20 bee submitted
The letter closes ms follows:
Not long ago We were being urged
20 intervene against the barbarities OF
the Turks i'm Armenia. What do the
good people who wanted MS 10 intervene
then think of the picture presented now
Great Britain firing on the Greeks and
assisting the Turks in their damnabe
cppression?'
Senator Daniels letter was written IN
reply 10 a request from Mr. Nichols foE
Information i'm regard TO the treaty th'
question Of arbitration b,ing before th'
literary society fer discussion.
