A Serious Blow to Colorado
Springs.
EIGHT BLOCKS
WERE BURNED
Famous Antlers Hotel Total Loss
Fire Started in a Pile of Rubbish
Under the D. & R. G. Freight
Depot.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. This city
had visitation of fire this afternoon
which threatened for hours to destroy
the entire business district.
The wind was blowing at the rate of
fortv-fiye miles an hour from the south
west when the fire started at the Denver
& Rio Grande freight depot, at the foot
of Cucharis street, at 2 80 p. M, and the
flames spread with great rapIdity. A
strip four blocks long from north to
south, and two blocks wide from east to
west, has been burned over, but at this
hour the confagration is believed to be
under control. The flames are still leap
ing high over the burned district, but
the wind has died down, and there is no
doubt that the fire engines, which have
come from Denver and Pueblo in re-
sponse to appeals for aid, will be able to
Its.
The Antlers hotel, one of the largest
in the West, three lumber yards and
two blocks of business houses have been
destroyed. In round numbers the loss
is estimated at 81 600, ,OOO, and insurance
at half that amount.
The fire started in pile of rubbish
underneath the platform of the D. & R..
6. freight depot. Within five minutes
it had communicated to freight cars
standing near, and it spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to move any of
the cars. Half car of powder con-
sighed to G S. Barnes & Sons exploded.
The cans were thrown hundreds of feet,
and the wonder is that no one was in
jured.
While the big fires were burning sew
eral small ones broke out throughout the
city, destroying several residences and
throwing people into conformation
Several arrests have been made to-
night of persons suspectee of having at
tempting to start fresh fires, but there is
no question that the first fire, at the
Denver & Rio Grande freighthouse was
entirely accidental. possibly being caused
by spark from locomotive.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal

WANTS AN AL LANCE.
A London Preacher Who Occupied Boston
Pulpit Yesterday.

Boston, September 25.-Rev. John
Clifford, pastor Of the Melbourne Par4
Baptist church, London, and also presi-
dent of the Free Evangelical churches of
Great Britain, preached at fremont Tenn
pie this morning on "The Anglo-Ameri-
can Alliance"
He said it was the desire of nearly
every true citizen OF. both countries that
there should be an alliance, and that both
nations should cooperate in the service
of mankind. 1t would bring about a
solid and enduring progress and the ad-
vancement of the Kingdom of God.
He said that he could confidently speak
with regard to the people of England,
the churches and the ministers. The
upper classes in England were coming
into line on this subject, with the lower
classes. There was almost a universal
pulse of interest in England for the con-
solidation of these two peoples.
The preacher contented that an Anglo
American alliance was the inevitable
step that must be taken, because thestwo
nations were of one stock; because the
two nations spoke one tongue; because
they read one literature, and because they
had one religion.

THE TROUBLE IN CHINA.

His Majesty Wants Assistance of England
in Proposed Reform.
London, September 26 6-The Times
Shanghai correspondent telegraphs: On
the arrival of Kang Yuwei he was placed
safely ON board the steamer Ballarat
which sails for Hong Kong tomorrow. In
the course of an interview yesterday he
in compliance with secret message from
the Emperor, warning him of his danger
and urging him to obtain assistance from
those interested in the country's welfare.
He further stated that recent events were
entirely due to the action of the Manohur
and Vioeroy Yung Lu, and including all
the high Manchur officials. The latter
were displeased by the Emperor's leaning
toward the reform party and decided to
restore the regency of the Dowager.
The Dowager Empress party is bound
by an understanding with the Russians,
whereby the latter in consideration of the
support of Russi an interests, undertake
to preserve Manchuria as the seat of the
dynasty and to maintain Manchu rule
in China.
In pursuance of this compact the
gradual substitution of Manchus in all
high offices and military commands began
last year under the direction of the
dowager thus creating sources of friction
with the Emperor whose dethronement
was frequently threatened.
The present movement is entirely
Manchu as opposed to Chinese. The in
fuence of Ii Hung Chang is now subor-
dinate to that of Yung Lu and is likely
to decrease.
The Emperor's health is excellent and
his capacity for work and earnestness for
progress are remarkable. His Majesty is
convinced, however, that it will be i'm
possible to overcome the opposition with
out the assistance of England which he
endeaYors to obtain for his recent pro-
gressiye measures.
Kang- g-Yuwei urges that England now
has an opportunity in intervene and re-
store the Emperor to the throne, by doing
which, he asserts, as he will earn the
gratitude of the Chinese people. He also
observes that unless protection Is afforded
to the victim of the coup d'etat it Will
be impossible henceforward for any native
