cry of fire, and in "A very short time
it seemed as if the whole city was at
work in trying to save the mill and
syrup factory Of Mr.. John G, Martin,
in the northern part Of the city.
From Mr.. Martin we learn that he
and his engineer had been at work
in the mill up to 8 o'clock. when they
shut down and retired TO the house
for the night. At about l0:3O o'clock
Mrs. Martin awoke from her sleep,
and chanced to look out Of window,
which faces the mill, discovered the
same on fire. She called her hus-
bund, but by the time he arrived at
the scene, the flames were beyond
control. and the onlF thing to be done
was to save what they could Of the
contents. 800 gallons Of syrup, some
grain and five pigs besides the en-
tire mill and factory went up in
flames, causing "a loss from $1,000 to
isl.2 200. with no insurance.
The fire started in the engine room,
hut Mr.. Martin il at sea az TO the
origin Of same, as he examined
everything very closely when he
suspended work for the night. The
mill will be rebuilt at once.

RELIEF FOR THE ICEBOUND wEIALERS.

DROMPTIY from Washington comes response to the
Call for relief for the sailors of the whaling fleet icebound
in the Arctic Ocean, The Bear will be at prepared
for the expedition, and speedily possible will make her
to the norh carrying food and supplies sufficient to save
the crews from all danger of deStitution.
THE CALL speaks for all Americans in commencing the
vigor with which the administration has acted in this
gency The sympathes of all with the brave who,
in carrying American enterprise into that frozen REGION have
been overaen by the swift approach of winter and threat
with peril whose horrors can hardly be imagined by
persons who not familiar with the terrors of the Arctic
winters 1t gratifying know that the power of the nation
will be used these brave men, and that there will be
delay in employing it
From the time when the danger of the whaling fleet first
made known THE CALL has active in urging the Govern
ment to send the expedition of relief furnished 10 Sec
tay Long the information which the Cabinet based its de-
termination dispatch the Bear and also pointed out the plan
by which the supplies could be carried north.
Nor did its activities end in words. When the Secretary
of the Navy expressed doubt of the ability the Govern
ment to provision relief expedition without appropriation
from Congress for the purpose The CALL offered to
furnish all the supplies required This offer intended by
THE CALL and understood by the Secretary and the
President to willingness the part of THE CALL to
provide all the supplies be taken by whatever ship the Gov
ernment sent to the relief of the unfortunate whaers
The Government saved from the difficulty in the way
of provisioning the eefshp by the arrival of the
authority possessed by the Department of the Navy for
the equipment of relief expeditions and accordingly the sup
plies will be obtained for the expedition in the usual way and
the will be sent forward she be made
ready for the voyage
Although this solution of the difficulty fortunate it
does not any separate THE CALL from the work has
undertaken for the relief of the unfortunate sailors Although
not called upon furnish the complete outfit of the expedition
THE CALL will nevertheless cordially cooperate with the Gov
to increase its value and efficiency.
must not be overlooked that the who to for
ward with the Bear and particularly those who to carry
the supplies Point Barrow have been called the perform
of dangerous duty The difficulties will require hero's
strength and the dangers will demand heros to
them. Such noble deed this relief be done
only by noble THE CALL recognizes this fact, and
while commencing the administration for its prompness in
authorizing the expedition gives honor the brave who
will undertake it and by heavens grace succeed.
