FIRE IN LONDON
Biggest Coniiagration Since the Memor-

Biggest Confagration Since the Memoir
able Fire OF I868-Ss5. 100000 Go Up,
London, Nov 21.--One of the most
disastrous fires in London's history
since the great fire of 1866, broke out
in a large block of buildings lying
eastward of Alders Gate street and be-
tween that thoroughfare and Red
Cross street. The flames were famed
by high wind and were fed by high
ly inflamable stocks of Christmas fancy
goods and tiimsy dress materials of all
descriptions that filled every floor OF
the six-story building in the old street.
Consequently the conflagration gained
headway with surprising rapidity, and
were soon far beyond the possibility
of being checked by the few engines
that were early on the spot. For four
hours and half the flames had their
own way, and it was only after more
than a hundred engines had worked
an hour that the chief sent out the
signal that the flames were under con
troll.
1t is officially reported that l5o
warehouses have been Quilted. A later
estimate of the damage that was done
places the amount at very nearly S25-
600, 600.
Nearly all the British fire insurance
companies are involved, and fire in.
surance stocks were practically unsafe
able during the time that the fire was
under way.

Houses In Cuba for Relief.
New York, Nov 21.--In every town
N Cnba where there are American cit
izens, groups of starving islanders
gather every day IN front Of the houses
of those Americans and beg for the
crumbs that fall from the tables, That
the Americans have anything on their
tables from which crumbs could fail is
due to the relief fund of $50, 900 voted
last spring by congress
There are 400 Americans on the re-
lief fund list According to n state
ment made by Consul Barker, who is
stationed ut Sagua, about 10000 peo-
pie are being kept alive in Cuba by
these rations distributed for the sup

Water Supply Falls In a Kansas Town.

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. 22.-Save for
one or two artesian wells, this city is
without water. The continued efforts
of twenty men, who for two days and
nights have been dynamiting the Mar.
maton river bed for water to supply
the city, have failed and last night the
water company's pump-house began
drawing wind and the entire city sup,
ply was shut off. This condition is un.
precedented, and unless the men who
are still at work with dynamite and
powder can bring water down from
four miles above in short time many
mills and factories will be forced &c
shut down. The rainfalls for the past
month or so have been too light to af
ford relief. Owners of the artesian
wells are selling their water, and at
the shutdown of the pumping works
raised the price. The poor class are
suffering.

Trick l.. The original leader starts to play for

head TO the exclusion Of all else. The opening Is
choice between the singleton and the invita-

but the cross-r,If.
Trick >. b infers that his partner has either
q fourchettc over the queen oc held l. 10. and
that spades is probably his best suit.
Trick 3. B lerds clubs once more to dnd out
fall OF the 3 from Y shows that there is no cross
ruff in the hand. as viii overtrump A so
sees his only chance for his club suit Is to lead
in spades and a stopper in diamonds.
Trick ): A thinks his partner must be crazy
not to play for the ruff. and refuses to return
position for a moment. he must have seen that
his partner knew the situation Just as well as he
did. perhaps better and must have had good
reason. for le1ding trulnps instead OF clubs. B,
supposins his partner 10 be very strong in
trumps. takes the force and leads trumps again.
Trick :. Y plays. well In refusing to win this
trick. He knows that b dare not go on with the
trumps; cannot lead spade. because he has
none. and must either come M to Y in diamonds
or let him overtrump A in clubs.
Trick 8. Whether A or z has the best spade
does not matter; diamonds have never been led.
and hopes for something In the suit. II 4 has
the best spade he must make 1t in any Gu sc. un-
