GEORGETOWN IAIL ON FTRE.

A fire which threatened to destroy a
large part Of Georgetown occurred last
night. The flames originated in an old
storehouse adjoining the Sussex county
Jail. Several times the jail caught fire,
and the crowd outside working to ex-
tinguish the flames could hear the
prisoners begging TO be released AZ
ter small frame buildings had been
torn down the flames were checked. A
defective flue IS supposed to have
caused the FIRE.

WAS TT A METEOR?

Many residents of this city were
batly alarmed yesterday afternoon,

rohte over the lower portion Of the

FAVORABLE FOR A PEACH DROP.

Denton, Md, Feb. 12.-The Winter
thus far is regarded favorable to a
peach crop by those interested in
peach culture. The recent cold snap
had the effect to keep the buds from
swelling, and as there was but a par
tlal crop last season there was a good
growth of wood and if not killed by
late frosts, there Is good reason to ex-
pect an excellent crop.

are selling second class tickets from ST.
Paul to New York for $13 and first-class
transportation for $14. The regular
ilrst-class rate Is $3.50 and the author
ixed second-ciass fare $3.50. A big per-
centage Of the St. Paul-Chicago passen-
ger business is being done on these
rates, and as a result the Chicago
brokers are well supplied with tickets
which they can sell at almost any price.
As a result the lines mentioned are do
ing most of their local business between
here and Bunalo n beyond at very low
rates. said to average about one-half
rent per mile. The regular second class
rate from Chicago to New York Is 81.
1t will be seen. therefore. that h rate
from st. Paul 10 New York Is very much
less than the rate from Chicago.
The tickets which are so manipulated
are those issued to meet the competi-

A FINISHED PERFORMANCE.
Robert Manteii and His Company Are a.
Perfect as Can He.

Robert Mante1i and HIS Are as
Perfect as Can He.
An unqualified success in every re-
spect was Robert Mantell's appearance
at the Mcguire last night. OF Mr.. Man
tell 1t is fair to say that the physical
as well as the mental qualifications are
well balanced in the actor. He has a
good presence. which he carries with
ease and grace. and thus looks the
heroic character of Louis de Beaumont.
The play of The Secret Warrant
gives to him a character to play. for
which. as already remarked. he is in his
appearance well equipped. The good
looks and makeup which nature has so
bounteously furnished him would not
of themselves enable him to carry
through to the appreciation OF the audi
ence the part he played unless that Gull
tivated mentality. or I'm other or more
correct words. the psychological power
was possessed by the actor to do and
say things as Louis de Beaumont would
say and do them under the very circum-
stances and conditions which are given
by the author In the cleverly written
and interesting play. The Secret War
rant"
Mr.. Mantell did all this In a way
which captured his audience and
brought them in under that magnetic
enjoyment which only good acting can
give to an apreciative audience. The
play is certainly In advance of many
OF the class called romantic. II is a
pretty story of a picturesquely histori-
cal period. well told n admirably
acted by all the ladies and gentlemen
who are identified with Mr.. Mantell.
Special mention should be made Of each
member OF this company. for. while
their individual work was so well done.
the enjoyment afforded by the complete
performance, free from flaws or defects
which in the smallest way would mar
il. cannot be overestimated. A better
dressed performance was never excelled
by any company heretofore in this city.
So great a treat 10 In store for the pa
irons of the opera house, that The Face

morrow night ought to pack the house

While this n the state Of affairs in the

growing more and more grave. The
from taking any part In the transcon-
men warfare. For some special rea-
son.. however. the Lehigh Valley ar
ranged to cooperate with Its Western
connections In the sale of North Pacific
coast tickets. The Lehigh Valley all
along has claimed that 1t was securing
its full proportion of regular rates out
of these sales. No complaint was for
mulated against IL. but the West Shore
suddenly announced that IL would meet
the transcontinenta1 cuts of $35 first
class and $25 second-class out of the ex-
treme East. including New York. On
this basis tickets are sold from New
York to St. Paul for $3.50. with a re-
bate Of $3.50, which makes the net rate
to st. Paul via Chicago SIS. This is
lower than regular authorized rates to
this city. The result will be that Chi
cage passengers from New York will
purchase ST. Paul tickets and sell the
remaining portion for whatever they
can get. thereby severely cutting Chi
cago-St. Paul rates.
As a retaliatory measure some of the
lines are threatening to put in a rate of
SO from New York to Chicago. If this
is done the Klondike rate war will have
taken on a new phase. and one far more
interesting than has been observed dur
ing the last few months.

ALASKA DISCUSSED.
Debate i'm the House of Commons on
Treaty Rights.

LONDON Feb. 17.-Mr. Curzon, the par
liamentary secretary for the Foreign Office,
in the House of Commons to-day, answer
ing a question as to whether the rights
and obligations respecting Alaska, under all
the then existing treaties, had been trans
ferred when the United States purchased
the country, said that only certain articles
of the Anglo-Russian treaty of 1927, regard
ing the geographical limits, were recited in
the Russo-American treaty under which
Alaska was coded. Article rs of the treaty
of Washington of 1871, Mr.. .Curzon added,
provided that the navigation of the Yukon,
Porcupine and Stickeen rivers was to be
subjects and American citizens subject to
the laws and regulations of either country
within its own territory, and not inconsist-
ent with the privilege of free navigation.
Inquiries he continued, had been made by
the British ambassador as to what regula-
tons We're best applicable to the naviga-
ton of the Stickeen river.
Mr.. Davitt asked whether the fact of the
contemplated supervision referred to was
in consequence of threats made by Canada
to Iegislate against American interests in
Mr. Curzon answered: II have heard moth
ing to that effect"
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, Conservative
member for the Ecclesial division of Shelf
field. asked if steps had been taken to de-
Intimate that territory.
Mr.. CrIZon said in replying he wanted
notice of that question. In reply to James
+. Hogan. anti-Parnellite, Mr.. Curzon said
ii was true Germany had expressed her
Willingness that Chief Mataafa should re-
turn to the Samoa il the United States and
Great Britain were agreeable, and that
Great Britain, on the advice of the British
consul at Apia, had replied that it would
be a wise precaution to postpone his par
don until the powers were assured that the
rebellion i'll certain districts was ended
