There is an art in making a fire in
CRATE. An expert first clears the
CRATE, then fills it full of coal. on
which is built wood fire. The wood
ashes on top of the coal. it is said,
prevents its rapid consumption. and
tire thus constructed. burning
slowly with moderate heat, will
last all day. Thus saveth an ex-
change. But most people who con-
slider themselves experts in the art OF
ire building believe the best way is
TO hrst put in the wood and after it
begins to burn freely add the coal.

BOSTON, February 2.-The New
England coast is covered with the
fragments of wrecked vessels, and 32
corpses have been cast ashore by the
roaring surf. AS many more sailors
are missing and doubtless have found
graves in the ocean. Wires are down
in many places, small buildings are
in ruins. The loss will exceed a mil

place the total number OF dead at 40.
Fully a hundred vessels, mainly
small finishing craft and coasting
schooners, were torn to pieces in the
storm. The storm in the vicinity of
Cape Ann was the worst ever expert
enced. The beach is strewn with
wrecks and many corpses have been
picked up
The cost of the storm in this city is
estimated at S1,429,0OO, including loss
to business.
The loss in New England is estimat-

United States and Japan Settle a
Point or Two.
STATUS OF JAPANESE AFTER 1899
In Event of Annexation They May
Become Electors After
Naturalization.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-Japan
has been removed as an element in the
opposition to the consummation of the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by
the United States. This result has
been attained by the conclusion of an
agreement between our Government
and that of Japan, as represented by
Minister Toru Hoshi, which, by prac-
tically settling the status of the Jap
anese in Hawaii, removes the only sub
stantial difference that has existed be-
tween the two governments.
The Japanese Government, for its
part, announced some time ago that it
no longer cared to interpose any OBJ
lection to the annexation of Hawaii.
Since that time the correspondence
between Mr. Hoshi and the State De-
partment has been directed to a salts
factory settlement of the status of the
resident Japanese in Hawaii, and this
last point has now been adjusted, so
far as the executive branch of our Gov
ernment is capable OF acting lndepen-
IDENTIFY, the agreement being reduced
to the shape of written memoran-
dunn.
This document goes into effect in
July next year, and, among other
things, it confers upon japanese with
in the territory of the United States
all of the rights accorded to the citi-
zens of the most favored nation, which,
of course, carries with it rights of nat
uralization and the exercise of the
rights of franchise. Presuming that
annexation is effected, the Japanese in
Hawaii will, in 1899, have the same
rights as those in the present limits
of the United States. All that remains
to be fixed is the status of the Japan
ese during the time that must elapse
between the ratification of the annex
alton treaty and the beginning of the
operations of the Japanese treaty of
1899.

CANNOT CLAIM ISLAND.
State Department Says Clipperton Is
No Part of L. y.


No Part of L. y.
WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The
State Department has rendered an
opinion that the Oceanic Phosphate
Company has no valid claim to the
guano deposits of Clipperton Island:
that the United States has never had
any basis for a claim to the island In
addition to this the Oceanic company
has never perfected its own filing upon
the phosphates. Secretary Sherman
says in his letter to Senator Perkins,
announcing the decision, that France
has claimed the island by reason Of
discovery in 1909 and by the raising of
her flag over the island in 1858. Go
ing further, it is said that statutes
governing such cases have not been
complied with in the case of Clipperton
Island, and consequently there is no
standing for the United States and the
California corporation.
In explanation of the decision there
is inclosed lettr from Assistant Sec
retary Adee to the Post Office Depart
ment, written in 1895, when there was
question of extending the postal SER
vice to Clipperton Island. 1t set forth
that in 1892 Frederick w. Permian of
San Francisco filed an affidavit setting
forth that on July 4, 1892, while on the
schooner Caleb Curtis, he discovered a
deposit of guano on an island put down
on the charts as Clipperton Island.
Soon after Shafter Howard, as president
of the Stonington Phosphate Company,
filed three affidavits setting forth Per-
mains discovery and saying that,
though this was not the first time the
island had been touched, yet Permain
was the first man to land in years, and
undoubtedly found guano.
In May, 1893, Melvin Chapman, as
president of the Oceanic Phosphate
Company, laid claim to the island un-
der Permain's discovery and assign
ment, but nothing on file at the depart
ment showed the change of interests.
No further action was taken after this,
so the State Department held that
there was no claim to the island by
the United States and no mail service
was necessary.
France Owns Clipperton.
The State Department at Washing
ton decided on January %, that the
United States has no claim to Clipper
ton Island although F. w. Permian of
San Francisco found guanO there in
1892. The French flag was raised on
the island in 1858, following its dis
covery by a French subject in 1909.
Secretary Sherman asserts there is
positively no standing for the United
States and the California corporation
