London. Nov. 22.-In the great fire
streets a quarter of a mile in length
were involved, 100 great warehouses
hundreds Of minor ones were burned out
and damaged at a loss estimated al
close upon 25,000,0Oo. At midnight the
scene was appalling. The flames had
been extinguished. but the vast block of
warehouses, as far as the eye could
reach right and left was one huge fur
mace, filled with a mass of smouldering
ashes, on which streams from number
less hydrants seemed to make no sensi-
BILE impression. The streets ran like riv-
ers. Twenty steamers were pumping
up water through gaping windows of
burned out buildings, while the sky
overhead, for miles around, reflected the
intense lurid glare of still glowing en-
bers.
Blocked by Police.
Every avenue leading to the scene of
the fire was blocked by police. Tens Of
thousands Of people had gathered in the
vicinity, largely composed Of London's
very toughest element but they were
overawed by a few hundred policemen.
The reason why the fire assumed such
gigantic dimensions was. first, because
of the highly inflammable character or
the contents Of dry goods and tobac-
conist warehouses, where II originated;
second, because of the extreme difficulty
of handling IL effectively. owing to the
exceptional narrowness Of the surround
| ing streets Few Of these streets per-
| nit two vehicles to pass abreast and the
| fire brigades had therefore great diff
Guilty In manipulating the engines and
| getting them into position. The delay
| thus caused gave the fire tremendous
headway. The flames leaped through
windows and across these narrow thor
oughfares and caught houses on the OPP
posite side. The heat then became so
intense that the fire engines had to be
| withdrawn and worked from distance.
[ Fire Brigade Too Small.
I In the early stages Of the fire the
flames tore up through the liftways EEL
\ evator shafts) Of the warehouses and
)spread over each successive floor with
| Incredible rapidity; then bursting out
|, through the windows they roasted the
fronts OF the houses on the opposite side,
J which smoked and cracked until their
! woodwork broke into fire. 1t will be
several days before the fire is complete
ly extinguished and the ruins thorough
ly explored. The conviction Is general
that the London fire brigade Is entirely
too small to deal with great emergen-
CIV, though the energy and resources of
Chief Wells and the courage Of the men
are fully recognized.

circumstances. Two years ago, when

he was elected mayor. After occupy.
ing the Office for four months he was
~impeached by the common council be.

present campaign Starkweather ran as
an independent candidate against
Perry J. Ekstrand, the Republican
nominee. and William Munro, who had
the Democratic and Populistic nomina-
tons. No newspaper supported him
and he had few helpers to make
speeches for him. He carried on the
campaign single-handed and has a ma.

two competitors.
