FIRE IN A DYE HOUSE.
A natch in a Vest Ignites ana causes
$1,000 Damages.

A match which was in a vest being
cleaned by Mr.. Brooks, manager OF the
Hartford Dye Works at No. 2l0 Wesl
Seventh street. was responsible for big
blaze yesterday afternoon IL was 32l
O'clock when Mr.. Brooks began cleaning
the vest. He first lreaUed it 10 II solution
OF gasoline and nhpGha, then began Wig
orous rubbing. Suddenly there was a
flash and the vest was afire. The explo.
sives caused the fire to spread to a number
OF other garments which had been treated
in like manner rs the vest and before
the manager could get out Of the house
tho room was seethlng mass.
The garments which numbered 35, were
destroyed AS quickly as would have been a
handful of straw, and in almost as brief q
space of time the wood work OF the build.
ing was ailre. An alarm Of fire was
sounded from box No. 81, at Sixth and
Tatnall streets, and in five minutes the
district engines were at tho burning build
ing. The 1irelnen found tho flames Ok
cetiingly stubborn because of the inntm-
mable material which was feeding them,
and for Il time it looked as though the
building would bo destroyed completely.
The Friendship fremen took,a line OF hose
through the front of the building and
with the chemical engines assistance be-
gan work which soon showed results.
But Tor ntteen minutes the nalnes ragged
and when the water and chemical solution
were shut off the work of devastation was
evident. Tho dyo house was completely
Quilted and its steam pipes bent and b:ok-
en by the heat. Tho fire also burned an
out house aud tense. Colored families ad
joining had their goods ready for removal
when thero were fears Of tho fire spreading
to the adjoining houses.
MIR. Brooks was slightly burned about the
hands. as also was his assistant. Mr..
Brooks does not know whose vest 1t was
that contained tho InatcL. The total loss Is
about $1,000 which amount Is fully cover
ed by insurance.
During the evening an oil stovo cxplod-
ed in the office of DR.. H. W. Bryan on
Heald street iu South Wilmington and
gutted the Office the damage being estima-
ted at about 500. The loss to the building
will be about 500. The flames woro exiting
uisbed by the Lberty Company.

KAISER'S THREAT TO NORWAY.


81 VIII Crush Norway as Have AL

Chrstiania, Feb. 3.--The storthing
Legislative assembly, will open on Feb.
10. The Dagbladet believes the Hager-
up ministry will resign and that former
premier Steen will be entrusted with
the task of forming a cabinet
The Norwegian cabinet crisis arises
out of the failure of the efforts to agree
upon more workable scheme for reg
ulating the relations between Norway
and Sweden. The Swedish and Nor
Wesian conservative commissioners are
in substantial agreement in proposing
common direction for foreign affairs,
but the Norwegian Leftists maintain
that the fundamental laws of both
kingdoms provide for separate direc-
tion of foreign affairs. Fears have been
expressed in Norway that Sweden
might seek an occasion for armed in
tervention, and section of the Swedish
press has frankly suggested its hope Of
assistance form Emperor William.
According to the Christania corre-
spOndent of The Daily Chronicle of Lon
don prominent Swedish politician re-
rently attributed to the kaiser the fol-
lowing statement: IF the Norwegians
seek to accomplish their ends ] will
crush Norwayas l have alreadycrushed
Greece.

GREAT BRITAIN'S RACKDOWN.


All l'artleS Denounce tne fepOrted
Submission to Russia.
Lond on, Feb. 3.-A wave of indigna-
ton has swept over the press through
the country at Lord Salisburys al
legged backdoNn at Ta-Lien- Wan. Con-
servativts, no less than Liberals, bewal
the supposed retreat from an unassail-
able position, on the ground that Great
Britain, supported by the United States
and Japan, might safely have deted
Russia. 1t is understood that the gov
ernment is angry with The Times for
revealing the position. A StandSed ed
itorial advises the government to let
the country know as speedily as possi-
bic exactly where 1t stands.
The Liberals vigorously denounce the
reported backdown of the British gov
ernment, while the Conservative menl-
bers of the house of commons do not
conceal their bitter disappointment.
Many decline to credit the report until
1t should he officially confirmed. and
prominent Conservative offered a Lib
eral opponent to pay substantial sum
to public charity If the reported back
down should be confirmed. The Lib
erals declare it would be humiliating
to British interests and prestige.
An article in the St. Petersburg Novoe
Vremya, which has attracted the at
tentiOn of Europe. declares that France
and Germany supported Russia's de"
termination and opposed Engand's
with reference to Ia Lien Wan.

AMERICAN FRUIT BARRED.
Gcrmany's Retaliatian For Our Dis
Criminatinp DuIy on Sunnr

Gcrmany's Retalfatian For Our Dis
terminating Duty on Sugar.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Dispatches from
Berlin announce that the Prussian min
lister of finance, DR.. MIGUEL, has issued
decree, which goes into effect imme-
diate!y, prohibiting the importation of
every kind of American fresh fruit. The
United States embassy was not previ-
ous!y warned, and the United States
ambassador, Mr.. Andrew D. White,
sent formal letters of protest to the for
eign office. inquiring upon what au-
thority this inimical step was taken,
and calling attention to the evident
violation of the treaty. At Hamburg
$4,000 barrels of American apples have
been forbidden to be unloaded, and two
trains full of American fruit have been
forbidden to cross the frontier at EN-
merich. 1t is claimed that California
and other vermin threaten German
trees and fruit.
The officials of the agricultural de-
partment are disposed to believe that
the explanation is not sincere one.
but that Germany, having in mind the
recent legislation of the American gov
ernment imposing discriminating
duty on bounty paid sugar, has taken
this action as a sort of retaliation. An
official said: "The fruit from California
is the freest from vermin of any In the
whole country. There Is little or no
ground for the assertion that American
fruit shipped abroad Is unsanitary."
Chairman Dlngley and other con-
gressmen expressed similar views, Rep
resentative Tawney saying that If Ger
many began such course it was
game In which two could play. 1t was
said also that the result would work
serious results to German wines, Ger
man hosiery, German shoddy and many
other lines of German goods brought
in great quantities to this country.

Receiver Earle Thinks No Creditor
VIII Lose Anything.
Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-George H..
Earle, Jr,. receiver Of the Chestnut
Street National bank, returned last
night from Washington. where he was
in conference with Comptroller Of the
Currency Dawes, and gave out state
ment, in which he says:
Il am authorized to announce that
dividend Will be declared to the cred
itors Of the bank within the next 80
days. This cannot be done, however,
until the claims are proved. so that it
is to be hoped that every one will re-
spond proraptly to the advertisement
calling upon the creditors to do so.
"As has been announced by him, the
comptroller is having a re-eXamination
made of The Record itself. If that ex-
animation demonstrates the accuracy
OF information heretofore had there re-
mains sufficient value in that equity to
partially, if not entirely, secure all the
debts Of Mr.. Singerly and his concerns
to the bank and to the trust company.
l wish TO state. as strongly as l may,
my conviction that if Mr.. Singerly's as
sets are preserved and promptly ap-
piled. no one need lose anything."
