THE CHIEF REPLIES.
Denies That There Was Delay in
Reaching a Fire.

Chief Paris today submitted to Com
missioner Wight his report in the matter
of the charge made several days ago by
fire department was very much be hind in
responding to the fire at Riley's stables
l1th and Water streets. Tuesday last 1t
will be recalled that Messrs. Hensey &
Co. wrote the Commissioners that Mr. Riley
had charged that the department was half
an hour in reaching the fire after the alarm
had been turned in. 1t appears from the
report of Chief Paris that, as stated in
The Star last week, there was a delay of
about minute in sending out the alarm
from the box t416) because of the fact that
two or three boxes were pulled a about
the same moment. The department re-
Sponded very promptly afteI receiving the
alarm, says the chief. and promptly went
into service. The fact that a special alarm
was turned in from the scene of the fire
ten minutes after the first alarm was
sounded shows in itself, the chief explains
that the department reached the fire inside
of ten minutes at the longest One conf
pany, engine No. 4, reached the fire in a
very few minutes after the first alarm was
sounded. at once going into service, and
the other companies quickly followed.
In his report Chief Paris submitted a
letter from Mr.. W. W. Riley, the owner of
the burned property. in which Mr.. Riley
says: L have no fault to find with the Dis
trict fire department III putting out the fire
at RileyS stables, June T." Similar letters
were also transmitted by the chief from
Mr.. W. w. Ierkes, superintendent of the
Ice Company, and Messrs. c. W. Bennett
property.
Chief Paris also reported that Mr.. Riley
denies making the state rent attributed to
him by Messrs. Hensey 4 Co.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1898-05-04

WITH their characteristic gen
crosby the Duluth politicians have
made up the allotment of Offices
for the ranges to the enormous
total of one which they say we
can have. Duluth in itself is a
Democratic stronghold and the
ranges haye year after year elect
ed the Republican ticket. The
larger part of the Duluth Repub-
licans are in favor of giving the
ranges fair representation but
the political bosses are not so
liberal.

Subscription So per Year

THE northern part of St. Louis
county has one commissioner on
the county board. His district
comprises the Mesaha and Yer
million ranges and covers an area
so large that trip over it would
require months. The townships
about Duluth have one and Duluth
proper has three men representing
il on the board. Now this should
be different and an effort will be
made to make it different. Three
commissioners for Duluth and the
outlying towns should be an ele-
gaat sufficiency and the Vermilion
range should have commits
sioner and so should the Mesaba
range. 1t sin the present commits
sioner's power to re-district and
steps will lie taken to bring the
matter before them at their next
meeting.

fut Treaties.
No army has invaded China since
the Japanese retreated. No feet has
shelled her ports. There has been no
rebellion in any province. The EN-
peror is as absolute as ever, the organ
ization of his Government is quite
complete, his counsellors are those he
has always trusted, his people are sub
missively loyal, but the life of the
whole is apparently suspended. Any
Power asks anything and it is unwil-
lingly conceded, the energy to offer
even passive resistance, to sit still and
await the will of the superior Powers.
is apparently absent. The Emperor
weeps silently as he signs disgraceful
treaties, but he signs them. His coun-
sellers rage as each demand is pre-
scented, but they advise acceptance.
His army fits from port to port at the
bidding of each foreign invader, ap-
parently without an idea Of firing a
shot. His people, 300,000,000 of peas
ants and artisans, who have held ts,
gether for 5000 years, who are indi.
vidually brave, industrious and eff
cient, look on quietly, striking no
stroke, making no cry, deserving, yet
worshipping their imperial lord.
They are beyond measure proud,
but their pride does not stir them to
action. They hate the invaders as In
dams hated Spaniards, but their hate
gives them no energy. They possess
resources even for war almost without
limit, but they accept passively the
dictation of the owners of a few ships.
They do not even rise in magnificent
incohorence as the Peruvians did, and
try to crush the invaders by mere num-
bers, but look on passively as II the
terrible scene going on, which makes
even the greedy invaders from the out
side lament, were no business OF
theirs. Nothing like it in history, says
Mr.. BaIfour; there is nothing like it
in fiction or In verse, for no magma
ton, once stirred to exert itself, could
dream of such passivity. 1t seems ill.,
