Monarchial Europe has not that
great love for republican institutions
that we have. nor does it see things
in the light that we do.
IN our recent trouble with England
over the Venezuelan boundary. we had
fine expressions of her opinion. Al
though little sympathy was expressed
for Great Britain the tone that per-
vaded the sentiment was not favorable
to us. Europe steadily refuses to ac-
cent the Monroe Doctrine and express
ed herself that sooner or later Eu-
rope must teach the United States a
lesson"
In the hypothetical condition stated
this opportunity would present itself
Would she declare war; Improbable.
If her demand for non-intervention in
Spanish affairs with cessation of hos
Utilities. We're not complied with, it is
probable that she would declare the
United States in state of blockade.
Our coasts would he natrolled bv tbe
navies Of the world 1t is doubtful if
further measures would be resorted to.
IT is improbable that material COM
nlications will arise from present con-
ditinns. These disturbances bother all
nations with sDasmodic regularity. but
GOOD sense usually prevails. and the
danger dies away with the passing ex-
citement
Should any nation ever make ag-
gression uDon onr positive rights the
vociferation of the lingo will not be
needed to call this patton to arms

SERIOUS FIRE AyERTED.

It is said that what might have been a
serious fire, accompanied possibly by the
loss of life, was averted at 467 1-2 Fore
street Saturday night by prompt action.
The ground floor is occupied by pool
room while Hebrew family has the next
floor.
Shortly before midnight young man
in the pool room happened to glance
across the street and in the windows of
the building saw the reflection of flames.
He stepped out into the street and a blaze
could be plainly seen overhead. The front
door was locked, so a rear entrance was
forced and several men ran up stairs. In
the front room an overturned lamp had
set fire to table cloth and was fast
spreading. A window was opened and
the cloth and chair that had also caught
was dropped out. The rooms We're full
of smoke and in one of them two chill
dren, aged about three and six years were
sleeping. They had a narrow escape from
suffcation. The mother had been out
visiting and upon her return was greatly
surprised at what had happened. The
lamp was probably overturned by q cat.

Mr.. DOUGLASS COTTAGE BURNED
Fire at Peaks Gives the Island Firemen
to Distinguish Themselves.

The cottage of Mr.. Charles G. Douglass
on Massachusetts, avenue, Peaks island,
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
about T. 80 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Douglass with his little daughter
went down to the island early in the
afternoon to do some little work about his
cottage and get some articles which he
wanted. The cottage had been closed all
winter and was cold and damp and Mr..
Douglass fearing that his daughter would
catch cold in the house started GOAL fire
in the house. He left the cottage about
half past three and an hour later some of
the people who lived in the Vicinity of the
cottage saw the smoke pouring out of the
windows and through the roof of the
building and gave the alarm.
The Peaks Island fire department has at
it's disposal an old fashioned hand tub but
is well equipped with hose and other ap-
pliances. A horse was soon found and
hitohed to the engine and the hand tub
hurried to the scene of the fire. The blaze
WAS so hot that it looked as If the whole
building must be destroyed as we'll rs the
cottages of Mrs. Holland and Mr.. Shat
tuck of Boston, which adjoin it. But
fortunately the Peaks Island file men
found large we'll near the burning
building and with all hands on the
breaks stream of no mean pretensions
was poured into the cottage. After hall
hour of good hard work the firemen sue
ceeded in extinguishing the blaze, but
not until the whole inside of the cottage
had been destroyed, together with the
furniture.
In the meantime the smoke of the burn
ing cottage had been seen in Portland by
the crew of the fire boat and others and
Chief Engineer Eldridge Of the depart
ment was telephoned and notified OF the
fire. Chief Eldridge was prompt to act.
He ordered Hose to hurry down to the
fire boat wharf with 1000 feet of extra
hose and the chief himself with Council
man Josselyn of the fire committee and
Assistant Engineer Hammett we're also
promptly on hand. Captain Goud was
not slow in getting his boat off from the
pier and she made good run to Peaks
Island, prepared to battle fire and aid tbs
Peaks island fremen in their efforts TO
save property When the fire boat reached
the island, however, the island f1remen
had subdued the blaze and had the fire
under control. The island fremen did
excellent work and were warmly COM
mended by Chief Eldridge for the way in
which they had handled the blaze.
Mr.. Douglass thinks the fire was caused
by defective chimney. He was insured
for about $500, but his loss will be several
hundred dollars more than the insurance.
The cottage had only recently been re-
paired and was well furnished.

WHOSE FlNDETH A WIFE.
A Story of Thrilling Interest Begun in the
PRESS This Morning.

The PRESS begins this morning the
publication of serial of more than ordi-
nary interest. It deals with the strategy
of diplomatists and relates to movements
of the great powers which involve the
fortunes of a pair of lovers in whom
everybody will he interested. Mr.. Will
liam Le Queux, the author, is one of the
foremost of present day novelists. he
has published number of successful
books, chief of which perhaps is 1.-The
Great War in England in 1897. On its
original appearance this story created
quite a sensation in diplomatic and mill
tary circles, and great furore in the
literary world. This is not surprising
when Mr.. LIE Queux's qualifications are
fully understood. He knows Europe as
perhaps no other man does, and has, in
addition, travelled extensively in the
East and even with Arab caravans in the
Great Sahara Mr.. LIE Queux is a master
in the art of describing the secret opera
tions of political strategy. His works are
characterized by realism, ingenuity OF
plot, and a brilliant and polished diction
and we have every confidence placing his
latest work before cur readers. Do not
fail to read the first installment, then
there will be no need to remind you to
read the following chapters.

CHESTNUT sT. SCHOOL HOUSE.

AS has been said it is the intention this
spring to remove the house on Chestnut
street south of the Chestnut street school
house. The city bought this land last year
for the purpose of making school yard
of it, and it now seems that this desirable
object is to be attained very shortly.
After the old house is removed 1t will be
necessary to grade down the lot to about
the level of the street. 1t is probable that
much blasting will be necessary to do this
as there is considerable ledge there. 1t
ought not to cost the city anything to re-
move this ledge, for the stone will be
worth enough to pay for taking it out. 1t
is thought that some ona can be found
who will take away the old house for the
material there is in it. When a good yard
is obtained for the Chestnut street school
it will be great advantage for all the
children of that district making it pos
sible to keep them off the street and out
of the way of the numerous heavy teams
which are constantly passing that way.

CARRIER PIGEON ALIGHTS II
PORTLAND.

Last Sunday afternoon about 43C
o'clock beautiful buff colored homing
pigeon alighted in the yard of Mr.. Mel
vile J. Pride Of Stroudwater. Mr.. Pride
took the pigeon into his house and on one
leg found small plate with the follow
ing inscribed ''7i36, q. S. N" on the
other leg was the small tube that is used
with carrier pigeons containing q note to
the effect that if the pigeon alighted on
board ship the master would confer q
favor by feeding and watering and after
the bird had rested, to release him again.
If he should alight on shore the finder
was requested to forward the bird to the
Portsmouth navy yard by American ex-
ress. This Mr.. Pride did yesterday morn
ing. When the pigeon was found it was
nearly exhausted and had evidently had a
long flight. Mr. Pride thinks it must
have been released from some United
States skip and had come from a long
distance over the water.
