LONDON HAS CONFEDERATION
BIGGEST FIRE OF THE CENTURY
IN WORLDS LARGEST CITY.
LOSS IS TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS.
Many Historic Localities wiped Out or
Bailey Damsged-Ths Fire Ragged
For Four hours.

-
q century ragged in London Friday.
The fire broke out in a large block
Of buildings lying eastward Of tlders-
gate street and between that thorough
fare and Red Cross street just after 1
o'clock in the afternoon.
The flames were famed by q strong
wind and were fed by highly inAam-
mable stocks of Christmas fancy 90 DDS
and flimsy dress materials of all de-
scriptions that filed every floor Of the
six.story buildings in the old street.
Consequently the conhagration gained
Roadway with surprising rspidity and
was soon far beyond the possibility OF
being checked by the few engines
which were early on the spot. For
four and half hours the flames had
their own way and il was only after
more than hundred engines had
worked an hour that the chief OF the
fire brigade sent out the signal that
the fire was under control.
At IL o'clock at night the fire was
still the scene of great excitement.
Fifty engines were playing upon the
ruins, wagons were hurrying up coal
and tons of water were pouring into
the fiery debris.
The rescue Of factory operatives by
the firemen, the hurrying of hosts Of
clerks who were trying to save books
and valuable papers from the fire and
the rushing here and there Of many
employees, who we're attempting to
carry to 'places OF safety costly mer-
chandise or other valuables, added to
the confusion. Then, again, the heat
was 80 intense that several ffrsmen
were obliged to direct their operations
under showers of water.
But in spite Of the exertions of the
fremen, the fire crept on steadily
until Nicholl square, which is siturted
at the far end Of Hansell street, was
reached.
Amount Of the Losses.
II is officially reported that $50 ware
housas have been Quilted. A later es-
- -. q, tie ismsse done pi1css- ths'
amount at nearly f5, 100000 sterling
1915, COO, O00).
Nearly 800 telephone wires were
cut, thus interrupting communication
with many of the big provincial
towns. The fire will cause an enor-
nous advance in the price OF ostrich
feathers which rose 30 per cent. Two
feather firms alone have lost El6, 900
sterling 1875, 000l.
The Burned District.
A later cable dispatch received Sat
urday morning says: A very large
force of firemen and about twenty en-
gines have been working at a high
pressure all night. The district raw
aged by the fire is bounded by Alders-
gate street, Red Cross, Maiden Head
court and Bradford avenue and in.
cludes the intermediate streets OF
Jewin, Hamsell, Well and Edmund

A case of the mllady is reported from

chest and arms ard limbs.
John Connolly, burned about face and
chest.
The men are all connected With the
boat.
Immediately after the explosion an
alarm of fire was sounded, but the fiames
were quickly extinguished, and the fire
men had little to do but to assist and
care for the wounded. The explosion
was caused by the ignition of naptha
vapor.
When the boat returned from her trip
to New York this afternoon Burton M
Reed of this city, according to custom
went aboard to clean up the forecastle
and sprinkled the beds and mattresses
with naptha vapor and left. The steve,
dores were eating supper" on deck just
over the hold when the explosion took
place and the men were thrown in al
directions against the woodwork. Two
of the men were thrown overheard and
were rescued uninjured, while all of the
others were injured. The deck, undi
the supper table, was blown open ter
feet wide, while both sides of tn gang
way were torn into splinters and thrown
in all directions. A large quantity OF
fragments were thrown into the water
The dining room Of the forecastle was
wrecked also An examination showed
the hull to be uninjured.
The officials are reticent as to the cause
of the explosion. 1t was thought at first
that lightning caused the explosion, but
It was afterwards learned that deck
hand went into the forecastle to light
his pipe and it is supposed this caused
the explosion.
Coroner Dolen will hold an investiga-
ton tomorrow.

A very large part OF the population Of
Astoria was deeply agitated yesterday
morning. The cause OF the agitation
was the opening Of the public schools.
This was an event Of no little Importance
to the juvenile mind. II has been looked
forward TO for weeks, and there was
abundant evidence in the streets that
preparations had been made for the re-
turn Of school days. Girls appeared in
dresses, spick and span, with their hair
tied with new ribbons. Boys had on
broad. well-laundried collars. and neat
suits Of clothes, while all had bright, ex-
pectant faces. It is safe 10 say that a
very large part Of the public school chill
dren gladly returned to their tasks yes
terday. and they did so because instrue-
ton has been made attractive during
these latter days. Interesting books,
well supplied with good Illustrations,
have been provided, and the exercised 50
diversified that the young folks have
ceased to hate school; in fact, in most
cases, so remarkable have been the
changes in modern methods Of teaching
the young idea how TO shoot, that chill
dren now actually consider 1t a great
cross to be deprived Of the privilege Of
attending school.

THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD.

There are people who have objections
TO advertising matter In the columns Of
a newspaper. The ground Of objection
is That they do not want TO read ad-
vertisements. Now this objection is not
good, for oftentimes these advertise
ments convey valuable information.
For instance, how else would the trav-
cling public learn Of the excellent din

or the general comfort Of travelling over
this popular line. For particulars call
