CHASE & SANBORN ABLAZE.
Chicago Has a Half Million Dollar
Fire

Chicago, March 13.-F'ire broke out
last night in the building occupied by
the John Tolman company, grocers, at
Michigan avenue and Lake street, and
driven by a strong northwest wind,
spread to the upper stories of the build
ing at TO- u and IA Lake street occu-
pied by Chase & Sanborn'S coffee and
spice house
The flames gained headway through
out the entire upper part of the Toll
man building and spread to the tower
floors. On the Michigan avenue side
the firemen were badly handicapped by
the loss of the water tower, which fell
into the flames on account of some ac-
cident to the steering apparatus. On
the opposite side of the avenue the
buildings occupied by Bell, Conrad &
Co. and the Thompson & Taylor Spice
company caught fire several times from
flying sparks, but were not seriously
damaged.
After three hours hard work the fire
was gotten under control.
The stock of the ToIman company,
which was valued at S400, 900, will prob
ably be complete loss. Chase & San
bOrn'S stock was valued at $175, 000 but
with the exception of the destruction of
a stock of tea on the top floor, their
loss will not be heavy. Both firms were
fully insured.

TURNING FROM OUR SHORE.
immigration From Europe Falling
OH-South America Gets It.

Washington. March 13.-A statement
prepared at the immigration bureau
shows that during the six months that
ended December 81, 1896, the number
of immigrants which arrived in this
country was 149, ,SOS. a decrease as com
pared with the same period in 1895 of
42,200 For the month ending January
last the decrease. as compared with
January, 1896, was 1926, making the
total decrease for the seven months
45, ,525. This decrease is said the be
largely due to the difficulties and un-
certainties attending landing on this
coast.
The many deportations and the strict
examinations enforced in this country
is stated to have caused a large in
crease of immigration from Europe to
Brazil, Argentine republic and other
South American countries, where in
ducements are offered A factor in the
decrease in this country is believed to
be the proclamation of the Italian min
lister of the interior warning undesira-
BILE classes from embarking for this
country and refusing them passports

De Haas Robson Declines an Otter
for His Base Ball Club.

New York. March 13-President F. de-
Haas Robinson of the Cleveland base
ball club, at present in this city, said
to a representative of the Associated
Press that he had positively refused the
offer made to him by the representa-
tives of the Brooklyn baseball club:
President C. H. Byrne and F. A Bell
made a cash offer of 100000 for the
franchise and players of the Cleveland
club.
The Brooklyn officials, according to
Mr.. Robinson offered $4,000 for five of
his players during the recent national
league meeting at Baltimore, and nav
ING refused this, Mr. Robinson sees no
reason why he should accept $4,000
more for, all his players and the forfeit
ure of his franchise.
Unless some better offer is made Mr..
Robinson is more than inclined to face
all his difficulties in playing his club on
certain days and retain the franchise

LOST RIVER IN INDIANA.
Underground. Stream is Believed to
Have Been Located at Orleans.

Indianapolis. March 13.-For many
years the invisible course of the ia
nous Lost-river, which suddenly sinks
from view at a point near the town of
Orleans, has melted scientific inquiry.
No trace of this underground river was
ever discovered until the recent heavy
rains.
1t is now. believed that Lost river runs
directly under the town of Orleans.
This belief is based mainly upon the
fact that during the recent flood the
water burst forth from what was sup
posed to be a small cave in such vol
umeS that the town was flooded. The
water has now ceased to flow from the
cave, but anyone standing near the en-
trance can hear the rushing of the tor
rent, apparently hundreds of feet be-
low.
The explanation of the sudden ap-
pearance of the water at the cave is
that owing to the great volume caused
by the rain the Subterranean channel
was insufficient to carry it off and the
pressure became so great that it sought
relief through the cave.
