relic of cholera Scare burned.

SANDY HOOK, N. j., Dec 27.-The
office. storehouse, stable and one Of the
lodging houses, all old wooden buildings,
at Camp Low, have been destroyed by
fire. Camp Low was established at the
former landing of the Sandy Hook
boats. During the cholera scare a few
years back the wharf and platform were
inclosed and rooted over and several
hundred passengers were kept in quar-
antine there. The marine hospital serv-
ice abandoned the station last year,
and the buildings were purchased by a
contractor, who used them as a large
boarding camp for the men employed
building garrison quarters at Fort Han
cock. An overheated stove is supposed
to have caused the fire. Damage small.

To uumor steel billet Makers.

CLEVELAND. Dec. 27.-There is talk
among steel men Of a further extension
OF the scope of the new wire trust. 1t
is now said that efforts viii be made
to induce all the steel billet mills in
the country to ally themselves with the
trust, not as members, but as contrib
utors. The trust will seek to induce
the manufacturers of billets to promise
not to sell to wire manufacturers that
may possibly start outside of the trust,
and in return the trust will promise to
take billets from all these manufactur-
ers as 1t may need them. The object Of
this is to keep the billet makers in good
humor and prevent their going into the
wire business themselves.

Back Consul's Protest.
RUSSIA MUST LEAVE KOREA ALONE.
Another Report Says a British Force
Compelled Reinstatement of McLeavy
Brown, Adviser to the Korean Gus
toms, Who Had Been Dismissed.

LONDON. Dec. 27.--A special dispatch
from Shanghai says:
1T is reported that II British war;
ships are Off Chemulpo. Korea, south
west OF Seoul supporting the British
consups protest, really amounting TO an
ultimatum, against the kings practical
ly yielding the government Of Korea in
to the hands of the Russian minister.
"The protest is specially directed
against the dismissal of Mr. McLeavy
Brown. British adviser to the Korean
customs, in favor Of the Russian norn-
inee. The news has produced constsT-
nation at Seoul which is heightened by
the knowledge that Japan has feet
Of 80 warships awaiting the result Of the
British representation, that Japan fully
supports. Japan is irritated by the ar
rival Of Russian troops in Korea, and
1t is believed she will oppose them.
According to advices from Toxic,
Japan has offered TO assist the officers
at Peking in drilling the Chinese army
and to consent to a postponement Of the
payment Of the war indemnity. Many
of the viceroys and Peking officials ia
vor the proposal"
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Shanghai, it is reported there
from reliable sources that a British
force landed at Chemulpo on Saturday
and caused the reinstatement of Mr..
McLeavy Brown. The same dispatch
refers to "a native rumor that the union
jack has been hoisted on an island in
the mouth Of the river Yang-tse-
Kiang"
The Pekng correspondent of The
4 Times saws:
THE government refuses to place the
| likin under foreign control as security
| for the loan proposed by the Hongkong
and Shanghai bank and asserts Shat
unless the loan is proourable without
this condition arrangements will forth
with be made for Russian guaranteed
4 per cent loan Of 100000, 600 taels, to be
issued at SO net.
The security would be the land tax
which would remain under Chinese ad-
ministration. China, in return, would
give Russia a monopoly Of the railways
and mines north of the great wall, oper
a port as a terminus of the railway
| (transiberian) and would agree thai
Russian should succeed Sir Robert
Hart as director of Chinese imperia
maritime customs. II these conditions
should be permitted, British trade in
terests would suffer severely"
The Shanghai correspondent of Th'
| Times says:
"The sloop Phoenix sailed yesterda,
under orders to join the British squad
ron. The utmost secrecy is preserved
with regard to the latters movements
but gossip here suggests that its desti
nation is Taiien Wan"

Ex-Champion of Amateur Athletes Sue
cumbs TO an Operation.

cumDs TO an Opefations
ALBANY, Dec. 27.--John Cosgrave, the
well known athlete, died in the city
hospital after an operation for appen-
dicits. He was a member OF the New
Jersey Athletic club the Ridgeheld Ath-
letic club and the Tenth Battalion Ath-
letic association of the national guard.
Cosgrave won the all around athletic
championship Of America in 1895 and
finished second TO Clark Of Boston in
this years competition. Cosgrave's
work has always been considered Of the
highest order, and in all around work
in the athletic field and the sack he had
few superiors.
His amateur standing was recently
questioned, but the registration commit
tee Of the Amateur Athletic union
threw the charges out as being abso-
luteiy without foundation. His afilla-
tlon with the New Jersey Athletic club
of Bayonne had won for him friends in
and about New York, where he was ac-
corded the distinction of being the best
athlete In the central part Of the state.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27.-The long

formation not presented at the trial Of

Durrant, Sr., says that Smyth talked
OF the case TO reputable persons before
