ing at this port that are offered at Bal
tlmore. Newport News aud other out
ports No charge is made at some OF
the Southern ports
The indications nov are hat the de.
sired result will be brought about Vol.
unfairly by the railroads. for they see
that the business interests Of this city
are identical with their own, and that
they have been heavy losers by refus.
lag to offer as good facilities 10 shippers
as the Southern roads do.
IL ~ HOt kUOWE tHas t.e UC!ut 1IdiilC
association has taken definite action.
bat such is believed to be the case.
since the organization is not so strict
that there are believed to be no viola.
tions of the agreement If so. there is
a thorough understanding i'll regard to
the action of several of the roads. The
steamship Edwin is now taking on a
cargo Of Il 600 bushels of No, 2 old
corn at the Erie grain elevator in Jer.
sey City, 1t goes to Cork. Ireland. for
orders Thu corn vas shipped from
the West. and it is said to be expressed
on a through bill OF iading. in which
the the terminal charge is probably
abrogated.
The incident is important because il
is said to be the first large steamship
that has loaded at q railroad elevator il
this vicinity for a number Of years
although it is no uncommon thing fol
smaller craft to do so. Grain men take
1t to mean that inducements wer'
promptly offered to the shipper in thu

THE PRIMARY LAW
San Francisco Populists Will Make
Test Case

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20.-All ar
rangements have been made to bring
the new primary election law. passed
at the last session of the Legislature.
before the Supreme Court for decision
as to it's constitutionality.
At recent meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Populist party. reso-
lutions were passed instructing Thomas
V. Gator. the legal light of the organiza-
tion, to take steps to test the act. AL
though the law is looked to by the peo-
Pile of the State, and particularly Of this
city. as a deliverance from the arbi-
trary control of the bosses. is is not
generally known that there is already
pending in the Superior Court of Tu-
ARE county, case which was brought
Us G preliminary step towards the over
throw of the enactment. Mr.. Gator has
Just returned from Tulare. where he ap-
peared as counsel for the plaintiff in
this suit. Today he said that whatever
the action OF the Superior Court might
he, the case would be appealed. and that
he expected TO secure hearing by the
Supreme Court in the early part of jan
unry.
Mr.. Gator says it is similar to the suit
brought against the Supervisors of Los
Angeles county to declare null and void
the act of the Legislature Of 1895. In
that case the Supervisors were re-
strained from carrying out the primary
.i.w because of constitutional defects.
and the Supreme Court, in deciding the
a,pea al. declared the law null and void.
& Mr.. Gator has prepared his brief.
!, hich he says he has submitted to prom
inent attorneys. who have approved it.
tie declares that he has no doubt that
the court will declare the act Of the
Legislature unconstitutional, but the
friends OF the new law declare that the
objections to the law of 1895 cannot be
sustained in this instance, and are con-
f1dent that the law will be upheld as
Mr.. Gator is that 1t will be knocked out.
The Supreme Court will be asked to
make an exception in favor Of this case
and decide 1t at as early a date as pos
sible. because Of the great Importance
Of the matter involved to the people Of
the entire State.

3 THEIR DAMAGE
LOSS CONTINUES TO SWELL
Belief Expressed That the Bulk Of
Loss Will Fall on American
Insurance Companies

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEw YORK. Nov. 2o.-A dispatch to
the World from London says:
" Fridays fire streets a quarter of q
mps In length were involved, 100 great
warehouses were destroyed. 300 import
ant firms and hundreds of minor ones
were burned out and damaged at a loss
estimated close upon $25.000.0 900.
!. At midnight the scene was appalling.
The flames had been extinguished. but
s the vast blocks Of warehouses. as far as
the eye could reach. right and left. were
one huge furnace filled with mass OF
smoldering ashes, on which streams
from numerous hydrants seemed to
make no sensible impression. The
streets ran like rivers. Twenty steamers
were pumping water through gaping
windows of burned out buildings, while
. the sky overhead for miles around re.
fiected the lurid glare Of the still glowing
cmbers.
Every avenue leading to the scene of
the fire was blocked by police. The rea-
son why the fire assumed such gigantic
dimensions was, first. because of the
highly in1ammable character of the
contents Of dry goods and tobacco
warehouses, where 1t originated; second,
because Of the extreme difficulty OF
handling 1t effectively. owing to the ex-
ceptional narrowness of the surrounding
streets. Few OF these streets permit two
vehicles to pass abreast. and the fire
brigade had therefore great difficulty
in manipulating the engines and getting
them into position. The delay thus
caused gave the fire tremendous head
way.
In the early stages OF the fire the
flames tore up through the elevator
shafts Of the warehouses and spread
over each successive floor with incredi.
bic rapidity. then bursting out through
the windows roasted the fronts of the
houses on the opposite side. which
smoked and cracked until their wood
work broke into fee.

RUSsIA'S REASONS
II Turkey Is Flush She Ought to
Paw Up


CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2o.-The
officials OF the Russian Embassy sent a
second note yesterday to the Turkish
Minister. pointing out that in times Of
difficulty, Russia abstained from urging
the payment of the war debt due her
by Turkey, but since the government Of
Turkey has decided upon fresh arma-
ments. which are not warranted by the
present situation, Russia demands a
portion Of the arrears on the same
grounds that Austria u.ged the pay
ment OF the claims due the Oriental Rail-
road, an Austrian corporation, for trans
porting Turkish troops during the recent
war with Greece. In consequence Of the
communication. the Porte has informed
the Russian Charge d'Affaires that
nothing has been decided upon concern
Ing armaments, at the same time be-
slowing upon that official the grand
Gordon Of the Osmanli Order.
1t is believed the Turkish government
will now drop it's plan for the reorganl-
zation Of the navy, although the officials
Of the German Embassy have been in
structed to support the offers Of the Ger
man firms to reconstruct the fleet and
supply the Turkish government with
the necessary arms. ammunition and
uniforms.

/ FITTING MEMORIAL
TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
HENRY GEORGE
Before Building Monument the
Needs Of the Widow Will Be
Provided For

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The Henry
George memorial committee, Of which
Mayor Strong and Seth Low are men,
bers, met in the City Hall and drew up
an appeal which will be made to the pub
lie in few days. The appeal is as fol-
lows:
The sudden death of Henry George,
which was caused by his self-sacrificing
exertions In an earnest and unselfish ef-
fort to serve the interests Of the people.
has given rise to desire that some me-
mortal subscription should be raised in
token Of public sympathy and apprecia-
ton. This feeling is shared quite as full
ly by those who differ from Mr.. Georges
views as by those who agree with them.
The life Of Henry George was devoted
by him absolutely and without reserve
to the service of mankind.
He not only sought nothing for him
self, but sacrificed every chance for per-
sonal profit for the sake Of the highest
good Of his fellow-men. 1t was univer-
sally recognized that in standing as a
candidate for an important office, his
motives were entirely disinterested and
without thought OF his own profit or
fame. Such lives are SO rare as to de-
serve the fullest recognition and the
highest honor.
No memorial to Henry George could
be at once more grateful to him and no
more satisfactory to all who recognize
his worth than provision made by pub
lie subscription to put his widow in such
a position of comfort as she would un-
doubtedly have enjoyed had her husband
devoted his genius and his wonderful
power as a writer to the benefit Of his
family instead of the benefit Of human
ity. Therefore, at the request Of many
friends and admirers Of Henry George.
the undersigned have consented to act
as committee to receive public subscrip-
tiOns to such extent as may be neces-
sary to secure for Mrs. George a salts
factory support for the remainder of
her life. The surplus beyond that amount
will be used in providing such permanent
memorial as in the judgment of the COM
mittee acting for subscribers, will be
most suitable.
The will Of the late Henry George,
filed for probate today. leaves his entire
estate. consisting OF the home at Fort
Hamilton, worth about $4,000, and the
copyright of his books. to his widow
Mr.. Georges book on political economy.
in the writing Of which he spent the last
six years Of his life and on which he ex-
pected his fame to rest. will be published
in few months.
