of the Middle or River States, on
which Idaho must mainly depend
for its immigration, and the settle

dyke to Walcott street, was ablaze
Three alarms and special calls were
sent out, bringing to the scene all the
fire apparatus in the lower half of the
borough, together with four fire boats
from Manhattan and the two belonging
to Brooklyn. There was considerable
difficulty tonight in arriving at an ac-
curate estimate of the losses. Among
the heaviest losers are: George L.

whose loss is placed at 100000, said to
be fully covered by insurance The

Spanish Commission Receives Another
Protest From the United States.

Havana, Oct 4.-Capt Foraker of
the United States military commission,
who has been suffering for the past
few days with severe Indigestion,
awoke today in very high fever and
the excessive noise of the Trocha Ho
tel, at Vedado, the headquarters of
the commission, rendered It advisable
to find him separate house at Veda-
do into which he will be moved.
Capt. Hart, this afternoon, delivered
note to the Spanish commission, re-
iterating the protest of the United
States commissioners against all sales
and removals of so-called immovable
property, the United States claiming
the right to such property.
The commanding officers of the vol
unteer regiments of Havana had a
meeting today with Capt. Cen. Blanco
in order to discuss the question of dis
banding these troops. Capt. Griscon,

ed for selection a site for a camp ca

acted upon.
Col. Hecker and his staff will leave

Griscom says he did not witness the
scenes of misery and want in Pinar
del Rio that he has seen here.

THE STATE ISSUES.
The Burden of the Address
Was Along These Lines.

New York, Oct. 24.-There We're bat
few seats to spare tonight at the open
ing of the mass meeting in Cooper I'm
ion Hall, held under the auspices of the
! Republican Club Of the CITY of New
York Charles F. Homer first vice
president of the club, presided
The platform was crowded with prom
inent republicans. The chief speaker
was Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts.
His welcome was a very demonstra-
tive one, and it was not for some min
utes that he had an opportunity to be-
gin his speech. Ladies' and gentle
men, he said, the sole proprietor and
manager of the state of New York says
there are only state issues to be dis
cussed." A voice: He has friends to
discuss them

he will probably take up national is

Reviewing Col. Roosevelt's career in
the various civil offices which he held,
as well as in the army, he asked his
audience to judge between the colonel
and Justice Van Wyck, as to who was
most likely to give an honest admin
istration, the canals included.
Touching upon the money question,
Senator Lodge said the triumph of de-
mocracy, while not meaning the pas
sage of a free coinage law, because of
a republican senate and president,
meant the reopening of the question
with the disastrous results to business
He pointed out the vast expenditure of
war and declared that the raising of
the money was to the highest credit
of the country. 1T should be honest
money, he said, "and a legislature
would send United States senator to
vote for honest money. This" added
he, SIS what | call the domestic ques-
ton" OF the work on which the peace
commission is now engaged in Paris
he said: THE dispatches tell us that
the Spanish commissioners are delay

gress antagonistic to the president will
be elected. There We're cries of
Never"
In closing, Senator Lodge said: The
election of Col. Theodore Roosevelt
will be a striking notice to this coun-
try and to the world that the great
people of the state of New York en-
dorse and stand by the president of the
United States in his endeavor to Sc
cure the full fruits of the victories we'll
