COLISEUM GONE.
Great Fire Visits Chicago-A Fifteen
Minute BLAZE.

Great Fire Visits Chicago-A Fifteen
Minute Blaze.
CHICAGO. December 24.-The great
Chicago Coliseum is in ashes. A spark
of fire flashed into blaze in one OF
the galleries a few minutes before q
o'clock tonight. In Is minutes the roof
had fallen and the mammoth structure
was nothing but mass Of blazing
wood and twisted red-hot iron girders.
And the wonder Of it all is that only
five lives were lost. Even this is not
certain. Five persons are missing.
When the Chicago football team
played with the Michigan boys on
Thanksgiving day, it took the immense
throng just Is minutes to get out Of the
building. Tonight, in 10 minutes from
the time the spark appeared, there
was not a girder standing. All the
walls were down except those on the
ends. and all that marked the place
where the house had stood was mass
of melting steel and cinders.
The money loss is more than S7OO,OOO
most Of it falls on the Chicago EXhib-
ition Company, which owned and oper-
ated the Coliseum. The rest will be
felt by the men and women who were
employed in different departments Of
the Winter Carnival that was in pro-
gress in the building.

SHERMAN TO HOSHI.
Japan's Interests IN Hawaii Are AS
SUPed.

Interests IN Hawaii Are AS
sured.
WASHINGTON, December 22.-Minister
Hoshi OF Japan was in conference with
Secretary Sherman at the State Depart
ment today. The status of the Hawaiian
negotiations has changed materially since
the Minister'S return from Japan. There
is no further protest on the part of the
japanese Government to the annexation
Japan's policy never went to the extent
of a protest. In any event, that branch
of the question is considered closed and
the present purpose of the japanese au-
thOrities IS 10 secure specific assurances
from the United States that, in case Ha-
wall is annexed, Japanese interests will
be fully protected.
IN a letter Mr.. Sherman wrote to Mr.
Hoshi on the subject of annexation, he
makes prominent the assurance that all
the Japanese interests in Hawaii would be
amply safeguarded. The desire, there
fore. is to convert this assurance into spe-
cific guarantees. 1t is said this does not
include an assurance of the continuance
of the existing immigration treaty be-
tween Japan and Hawaii, as that is re-
vocable by its terms in six months, and
the revocation would apply in case Ha-
wall became a part of the United States,
There is likely to be considerable differ
ence of opinion and rather prolonged ne
gotiations over the extent Of the guaran-
tees to be given Japan.
