The most destructive conAagrs-
ton this city has had for many
years started last night about 8:45
o'clock. Fire was first discovered
in the rear part of the Opera
House, the largest and most cost
ly structure in the city. Before
the fire department could throw q
stream of water the flames had
made such Roadway that all
thought of saving the building
was abandoned and all their ener-
gies were directed to saving the
surrounding buildings which, at
ter the hardest kind of work, was
accomplished. A small wooden
structure adjoining the Opera
House was demolished, it being
mashed into splinters by falling
walls. Chief Frank Patin, OF the
fire department, had q very mar
row escape. He was inside the
frame building when the west wall
of the Opera House fell, but luck
lily escaped unhurt. The front
part of the building was occupied
on one side by the postofice,
everything being saved, and on
the other by the Enterprise, one
of the city's weeklies, owned by ].
B. Lswton, who lost all his presses
and type which we're partially CO.
vered by insurance. The Opera
House, which cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 was q total
loss. No insurance. The cause
of tho fire is unknown.

Unnecessary Fright.

For instance, tho president of

Such utteranoes, coming from the

Cotton Prices And The War.


Since it has become apparent
that the trouble with Spain was
likely to end in war cotton has
gradually weakened. 1t is true
that the drop has not been sensa-
tionsl in its proportions but it has
been steady, indicating . firm be-
lief that the effect of war would
be unfavorable TO the South's great
staple. It is true that the price
has within few days risen some
what in Liverpool, but that is cas-
lily explained by the fact that the
very cause which would prevent
thefrse shipments of cotton from
this country would make that arti-
Gle comparatively scarce abroad.
As the underwriters have alrea-
dy enforced the application of the
war risk clause the cost of ship
ping cotton has been enhanced
and there is no doubt that in the
event of war cotton shipments
would be in some measure distur-
bed, hence there is some founda-
ton for the unfavorable effect on
prices by the probability of war.
It is, of course, not at all proba-
bic that Spain would be able to
blockade any portion of our coast,
much less our large ports, and
without an effective blockade there
would be no means of stopping
shipments from American ports in
foreign bottoms. It il now we'll
established in international law
that even the merchandise belong
ing to an enemy is protected by a
neutral flag, except such merchan-
disc be contraband of war.
It is, therefore, probable that
the effect on the price of cotton
will not be lasting, as it is likely
that cotton will 20 forward with
out interruption as soon as it is
demonstrated that Spain is unable
to maintain q blockade. As war
preparations would more or less
interfere with farm work and plan
ting, and ss there would likely be
. good demand for cotton a. soon
as hostilities cease, it is probable
that prices would soon begin to
improve after war is declared.
It would be we'll for cotton grow
ers carefully to consider the war
question in preparing acreage for
planting this season. Another
bumper crop on top of the one
now being marketed, which every
prospect Of . general upheaval in
Europe at the moment, would GER
tainly sell for even lower prices
than those which have ruled this
year. As prices this season have
been Improbable, it is not hard to
realize what even lower prices next
season would mean for the South.

BEYOND STAINS REACH.

The people of New York city need have no fears about being bombaried by Spanish warships. The land forti- fications around it, without the as sistance of the navy, would be ample protection against any fleet that might be sent here. The guns of a warship like the Vizcaya cannot throw a shell further than eight miles. since it is impossible to get very much elevation for an eight or ten inch gun in the turrets of ship
 No warship could lie outside the Narrows and shell New York, as some people imagine for the distance is toe great, and moreover a ship attempt ing to perform any such unkind act would be under heavy fire in close range of the batteries Of Forts Hamil- ton and Wadsworth. the latter of which has a commanding position we'll suited to resist attacking warships. New York city is to be congratulated upon the means of active defence available for safety and security from foreign enemies.-Army and Navy Journal
