CATALAN M1N1srER,s HOUSE
Partly Destroyed by Fire Occupants
 Escaped in Ntght-RObes.

Washington, Dec. 25,-Fire which broke out shortly after 2 o'clock to-day partly destroyed the house occupied by Senor Carlos Morla Vicuna, the Chtlian minister, at the corner of Connecticut avenue and N street. The roof and top story were destroyed and the furniture of the whole house was ruined by the smoke and water, entaling loss of S10,- 900. The minister and his family escap- ed owing to the energy and coolness or the twelve-year- son, Carlos, but the flames made such headway that the in mates were unable to secure clothing and were compelled to hurry out in their night robes. All took refuge for a time in the British embassy, just across the street, where they were car ed for by Lady Pauncefote and her daughters Two maid servants were overcome with fright and had to be taken from the house. The governess, Signorina Manfredi, received a bad fall in climbing upstairs in an attempt to secure clothing for Senor Vicuna. The fire was caused by an overloaded flue. It was discovered by the son, Carlos, who slept on the third floor, through whose instrumentality his three sisters occupying rooms on the same floor, the maids who slept upstairs, and the fath- CT and mother, who slept on the second floor, were awakened and appraised of their danger. The house was formerly occupied by Senor Mendonca, the Bra gillian minister.

All night long the twelve men argued, sending out communications twice, to find out the according penalty, and also to state they could not agree.

During the evening Secretary and Mrs. Gage and Postmaster General and Mrs. Emory Smith called and spent some time socially at the executive man. sion. The president and Mrs. Mc- Kinley took advantage of the fine weather and went out for drive dur ing the afternoon. The president ac- companied by James Barber, Mrs. Mc- Kinley's nephew, attended divine ser vices at the Metropolitan church at Il o'clock and listned to a sermon by Rev. Dr. Bristol, who is the course of his talk said:
 This nation has presented to an op- pressed people the unspeakable gift of freedom; yes, and to the world it has given longer liberty. Gods Christmas gift of freedom has come to the suffer- ing and wronged through the agency of a nation that was obedent to the heavenly call and had caught the spirit of liberty and helpfulness sent forth from Angelic lips-Good will toward men," It was not hatred or ill will to- ward any nation that caused this coun- try to unsheath the sword of war.

THE TALK OF 4 WHEAT FAMINE.
J. K. Dodge, Stattsttcian, Controverts
 Statements of Sir William Crooks.

Albany, N Y., Dec. 25.-J. R. Dodge,
 for many years statistician of the Unit
 ed States department of agriculture at
 Washington, has written to the Coun-
 try Gentlemen, an exhaustive answer
 to the address of Sir William Crooks
 before the British Science association
 in which the latter predicts a great
 wheat famine. He takes Sir William to
 task for presenting inaccurate figures.
 He says: sir William Crooks declares
 that there is already a deficit of wheat
 area of S1,000 square miles, or approXi-
 mately 20,000,000 acres, rather unreas-
 onably, in view of the fact that this area. at present rate of yield, would produce nearly 260,0O0,000 bushels, while the European deficiency, which is the principal one in the world is by the Beerbohm record only 210,000,000 bush els average in the last eight years.
 He assumes the present annual re- quirement fer bread is 2,324, ,000, GOO bushels of wheat, while the official and
 export estimates of the period since
 1890 average more than that figure the compilation of such estimates for seven years by the department of agriculture
 averaging 2,477,S ,0G0, an excess of over one hundred and fifty millions; though the eminent scientist Is almost as lame
 in his statistics of consumption as he is in those of production really mini | mixing both. He makes the supply of
 the year only 1921 000,000, while in the statement quoted above the product of 1897, the smallest of seven years, is
 given as 2,214,000,000.
 Tt is very unreliable forecast that undertakes production nearly ten per cent. It would be uncharitable to hope for a scarcity of bread rations; still l our wheat growers would not feel very despondent over a prospect of good prices. The Crooks view is a distinct encouragement to them; and similar views have been put forth before, some times apparently in the hope of raising prices. Unfortunately, when exaggerat- | ed, a temporary rise of ten per cent. is
 followed Gas the result of natural reac- tion, and from the effect of increase of area, stimulated by temporary advance
 in value) by fall of twenty to thirty 1 per cent. as between 1891 and 1885 It Is hard to convince people, scientists as well as plain people, that honesty is l the best policy, and truth in statistics
 cannot safely be departed from. The
 practice of stock exchanges, as well as 1 that of bucket shops to secure a tem- porary advantage, can never aid the
 cause of science or of rural economy"

WRECK NEAR LEXINGTON. KY Freight Train Crashes Into m Engine
 Mine Men Badly Injured,

Lexington, ky, Dec. 25.--A serious train wreck occurred in the suburbs of the city near Peppers distillery at two o'clock this afternoon. A Louisville and Nashville yard engine and Chesa- peake and Ohio engine No. g, pulling an extra freight train, collided, and as a result nine men are badly injured, two probably fatally, and both engines de- molished. The yard engine was back ing down in the yard and the freight train was coming from Louisville The engineer of the former heard the latter (which was around a sharp curve) whistle and started for switch as the only way of avoiding collision. He was unable to make the switch and the two engines collided. The Louisville and Nashville engine was completely demolished and the wreck was carried 300 feet down the track. The Chesa- peake and Ohio engine was run back through the tender and the whole of the front beaten in.
 All the Louisville and Nashville en- ployes jumped and all were injured, two probably fatally. The Chesapeake and Ohio men remained at their posts and were not seriously hurt. Yard Clerk Hornbrooke and Foreman Morrissey on the Louisville and Nashville engine will almost certainly die.
 The injured: Lester N. Hornbrooke, Louisville and Nashville yard clerk, arm broken, skull fractured, will proba- bly, die; R. o. Vaughn, fireman, leg broken; Alfred Clark, switchman right arm broken and right shoulder fractur- ed, head bruised; William Morrissey, foreman, internal injuries, probably fa- tai; James Douglas, Louisville and Nashville foreman, scalp wound in back of head, right leg broken, body badly bruised; George Hunt, Louisville and Nashville engineer, badly bruised and left shoulder mashed John Collins, switchman, badly bruised. Conductor Meadows and Fireman John Jones of the Chesapeake and Ohio both escaped serious injury, but they were badly bruised

TERMS "NORTHo AND "SOUTH.' Nashville Minister Wishes Them Wiped
 Ont ms Applied to Church.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec, 25.-Rev. Dr. J.
 I. Vance of the First Presbyterian
 church in his sermon to-day urged the wiping out of the terms North and
 South" as applied to the church and saving: q wonder if the time is not at hand for the effacement of geo. graphical marks from the name of our beloved Presbyterian church in Amer ica. She should be the first to put into practice the gospel she proclaims. And vet, it must be admitted that while Mason and Dixon's line has disappear ed from the geography of citizenship, it survives in the geography of the church. I speak to-day for Presbyte- rianism that shall no more be marked North or South" but whose territor- ial boundaries shall be co-terminus with the uttermost limits of the repub- lie and American Presbyterian church. .'
