SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLAR LOSS
CAUSED BY A ZENITH CITY
FIRE.
TENANTS WERE IN DANGER.
WOMAN AND BABY TAKEN OUT
OF THE BUILDING BY
FIREMEN.
THREE-sToRY STRUCTURE BURNED
The Occupants UuabIe to Save q
Dollars Worth of Property
From Destruction.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 1.-The An
drews and Osborn block at the West
end was destroyed by fire this after
noon, involving a loss of over $6O,000
partly covered by insurance. The fire
broke out in the basement at 2 o'clock,
and quickly spread through the build
ing, which was a three-story brick
with 100 feet frontage on Superior
street. The ground floor was occupied
by stores and the two upper floors by
flats and not a dollars worth of stuff
was saved
Several tenants had narrow escapes
in getting out Of the building. Mrs
Wallace Smith and baby were taken
from a third-foor window and carried
down a fire escape by f1remen. Sew
eral men were forced to come down by
ladders. One man was penned in
back room ON the second floor by the
fire. F'iremen were putting up a lad
der for him but he concluded to take
risk on his own shoulders and jumped
into a vacant lot at the rear Of the
building. He picked himself up and
walked away apparently uninjured.
In little over an hour the building
was entirely destroyed, nothing but the
bare walls remaining. The fire is sup
posed to have caught from a furnace,
as it started in the basement.
The building was owned by F. M.
Osborn, Of Cleveland, Ohio, and Hugh
Andrews, of Cincinnati, Ohio. 1t was
built in 1892 and was valued at $685.
600. The insurance on the building was
$4,000. On the ground-f1oor, c. o.
Nelson had a stock of furniture, crock
cry and an undertaking establishment,
filling several stores. His stock was
valued at $12. 900 to $4,000 and 81 500 OF
insurance was in effect Olson & Peter
son had grocery store, also on the
ground floor, and their stock was val
ued at about $1,000, with insurance Of
$1,000. The upper floor tenants lost
nearly all they had in the world and
but one or two had insurance on their
goods. following were tenants: Gus
Peterson, D. Shesgren, Druggist A. J.
Briggs, John Callahan, w. R, Cole,
Patrick Spellman, o. Bergh, Wallace
Smith, o. Bergen. D. O'ConneI and D.

COMMONS BY THE LIBERAL
LEADER

VIII Revolt.

LONDON, March 2.-The house n
commons was crowded today when the
Liberal leader, Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, moved an adjournment in
order to call attention to the Cretan
situation. He asked if the powers had
consented to the British proposaIs or
IL the latter had been modified, and
SAID that there was no hope for Crete
unless Turkey was substantially re-
moved. The Cretans, he continued
wanted union with Greece, and he ad
VoCated the annexation Of Crete tn
Greece. He expressed sympathy with
the action Of the Greeks, and warned
the government that it had entered
upon a path where it was not it's own
master, and asserted that it might be
forced to deeds against which the con-
science of the English nation might re-
volt. Sir William further remarked
that the opposition reserved the right
to pass Judgment upon these transac-
tions
Mr.. Curzon, the parliamentary score
tary for the foreign office, replied. He
SAID that the policy of the govern
ment was to thoroughly reconstruct
the administration of Crete and rnitI-
gate the authority Of the sultan. Con-
unu1ng, Mr.. Curzon assured the house
that the government which would be
established in Crete could displace the
turkish government, though, until the
new gendarmerie was established, the
Turkish troops would need to remain
in occupation.
The Earl of Kimberley. the Liberal
leader, called attention in the house
or lords today to the Cretan policy of
the government. He argued that IL
would have been wiser and safer to
join Crete to Greece, and held that I'M
der any circumstances the Turkish
troops should be withdrawn from the
island simultaneously with those of
Greece.
The premier, Lord Salisbury, reply
Ing for the government, said the policy
which was fOreshadowed on Thursday
was, in the main, that which had been
accepted by the powers. Continuing,
his lordship explained that there was
not, however, complete unanimity in
regard to the withdrawal Of the Turk
ish troops, and he added that Crete
would not be Joined to Greece. The
premier thought the question should
be deferred for quieter and more DELHI
crate consideration. His lordship then
said that he sympathized with Crete,
and desired to see an end put to their
oppression, but, he continued, 1t was
the duty Of the government to main
tain the existing condition until they
saw the way to a safe, peaceful issue
therefrom.
In conclusion. Lord Salisbury said:
II can assure the house that we are
resolved upon an effective autonomy
for Crete, whereby IS meant the with
drawal Of the arbitrary power Of Tur-
key"

income, times were hard and money
scarce, and congress was going to help
the general saving by doing as little
spending as possible. Our Republican
contemporaries, that had been f1outing
the 'cheese-p pairing economies of DEM
ocratic congresses, suddenly discovered
that economy is virtue, and told
their readers what Speaker Reed and
Chairman Cannon were going to do to
curb the treasury raiders and keep the
appropriations within limits. From time
to time information has been given
out leading the country to understand
that the speaker and the chairman
were doing what was promised, al
though the strain upon them was
something terrific. Cannon even hint
ed dismal things of what might be, if
he and Tom had not sat down so hard
on the boys.
And now, when the long columns Of
appropriations are finally added up,
and it becomes useless to keep up the
farce Of economy any longer, because
the total shows that this precious con-
gress has distanced it's predecessors
and provided for the spending of about
$1,050, 100000, our contemporaries face
the music with nerve that is sublime
! and declare that. any way, this is
billion dollar country, and a Republi-
can congress must keep up with the
head Of the procession, even if it does

dred million dollars annually. But they
should stop at that. 1t spois the effect
to go whinlpering about the senate be-
ing made up Of a majority Of Demo-
Gratis and Populists, and they are just
as much to blame as we uns, anyhow,
because, you see, it takes the starch
out of that fine bluff about the country
being billion dollar one. BIubber has

Are you not inclined to believe that you

Not at all. There is no more reason to

billingsgate upon a Democratic admin

we shall see practically the whole body
Of the Democrats In the senate sup
ported by large body Of Republicans,

lican administration.
The Republican party is about to
reap the reward of it's short

with energy and zest by the anti-ad-
ministration Republicans. 1t will go
hard with them if they do not make
Mr.. McKinley's term Of Office a failure
Perhaps, by that time, it will have
become clearly revealed to the people
of this country that the purpose of the
senate is to constitute itself their sole
ruler. When that fact penetrates the
public mind, the inevitable end of the
senate itself will not be far distant.

The trip was without incident, save
that the people crowded the stations
along the route and cheered the train
as it passed and f0cked about it when
it stopped. No speeches were made,
but at Philadelphia the party went to
the rear platform of the train and were
introduced one by one to the crowd in

REMOVAL BILL KILLED.
PopuIists Again Control the South

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., March 1.-THE killing Of
the capitol removal bill today cleared the
house atmosphere, which has been stormy for
the past week. The Popullsts by that action
got back the votes Of their five members who
have been voting with the Republicans and
with their majority proceeded to take any
thing they wanted. To be certain there would
be no foolishness, il any indication of debate
showed itself, the previous question would
be moved. Under these methods they pushed
through the Investigation bill which provides
for a commission to be composed Of one
from each Of the three parties, the insurance
commissioner and the regency bills. They
also passed the wolf bounty bill and a
bill for artesian well in state lands in
Meade county. The senate passed the osteo-
pathy bill to its third reading and will pa 81

Not in the Constitution.

To the Editor Of the Globe
I have just read item from st. Cloud
regarding Mr.. Rocholl and prayer in school
affairs. What are all those expenses for?
Does not the house OF representatives and the
senate have a chaplain, and does not the
constitution of the United States provide for
chaplains in congress and senate? Why not
teach the younger element (esNecially boys)
to know the Lords prayer, so II ever they
should become representatives senator's con-
gressmen senator's of the United States
they would understand the meaning Of the
same? 1t seems very ridiculous to have any
such sensation. I believe 1t is merely malice
upon the state, and Mr.. RocholI. who is the
representative Of the state, in the superin-
tendency of schools of Stearns county The
writer knows neither the complainant nor the
defendant superintendent but 1 will say that
right is right, especially when 1t Is in con-
formity with the constitution Of the United
States. What did Kaiser Wilhelm say after
a year or two, after the bishops priests and
laymen were driven cut Of Germany. He
SAID: Bismarck. bring religion into my
country as soon as you can, 1 cannot rule
without religion" Mr.. Heinnen ought to
take to the back woods and learn the prayers
of the savage, and in course Of a very short
time he would realize that even the savages
adore and believe in higher supreme being.
