nearly $2,00o,O0o. The blaze started in
the big show windows of the Havens &
Geddes company, wholesale and retail

clothiers, $4,000.
There were q number Of small con.
Germs which were utterly annihilated in
the fall of the rear wall Of tho Havens
& Geddes wholesale house and the loss
in their case will more than bring the
total losses up to the q, DOC, 900 mark.
Number Of People Injured.
The fire started about $50 O'Clock
when half the employees Of the establish
ment were at their homes for supper.
There is force of 800 or more In the re-
tail department of the establishment,
and had the entire force been present
the loss of life would have been fright
full. As it is Kate Maloney, q clerk in
the notion department, is lying at the
point or dearn. Sne spranY 1rOIn q Wa

son, clerk in the same department,
also jumped but was caught by some

the show window when the blaze
started, is frightfu1ly burned about the
head and arms. Firemen Austerloo,
Walsh and Shay were badly injured by
the falling of floor in tho Albrecht
building and are now in the city hos

D2EYFUs REVISION A FARCE
Assertion to That Effect Boldly Made by
D
an Anti-Semite Member Of the !;
=
Chamber Of Deputies. :

PARIS, Dec. 20.-There was q repeti-
ton during the afternoon Of the now
familiar scenes in the chamber of depu-
ties. M. Lasies, Anti.Semite, interpret
lated the government on the subject of
the alleged indiscrehons Of the Brisson
ministry in the Dreyfus affair. He &C.
cused the former minister, NJ. Brisson,
Of violating the constitution and vio-
lently attacked the court of cessation
whose president, M. Loes, he said, was
q brother of German official. The
speech of NJ. Lasies elected uproar and
protests.
The minister of war, M. de Freycinet,
replied that he did not desire to appear
a wishing to influence the decision Of
the court Of cessation, but the minister
added. while willing to submit to the
court all official documents in his pos
session, he was absolutely determined
not to submit the secret batch of docu-
ments in the case, which, he pointed out,
contained papers affecting the security
Of the nation. He added that, if tho
house did not approve Of his attitude he
was willing to resign. >
M. Lasies said he thought that, under
the circumstances, the revision of the
Dreyfus trial was only comedy, and
he thanked M. de Freycinet for furnish
ing official confirmation Of the report
that the secret documents so frequently
referred to really existed. He then
withdrew his Interpolation.

THE kLoNplke RUSH.

The rush to the klondike has com meneed, the most adventurous of the gold-seekers hraving the half-over winter in order to get ahead of their fellows. These daring but not over wise chaps are all going into the Klondike in spite of the fact freely announced that claims for fifty miles around Dawson City have already been taken up. That is. all those open to miners, the alternate claims being reserved for the Canadian Government. This is not the case on the American side of the bound ary, where every claim is open to fling, and where every claim is open to fling, and where there are no duties, royalties, restrictions or penalties under the United States mining laws. The early rush of men into Alaska is composed mostly of "tenderfeet, who have had the dor mant gold fever all fall and winter and with whom it has broken out too strong to resist. 4 repetition of last years experiences on the trails will be a severe but a good lesson to many of them.
 The biggest strike yet reported from the American side of Alaska is made by David Ward. who has found q region on one of the largest tribu- taries of the Yukon, where he pros- peeted streams and gulches. finding rich gold deposits everywhere On his return last fall he brought back all the gold he could carry, and he only came out so that he could go back this spring prepared to take advantage of his rich strike to the fullest extent. He is building a boat with complete machinery for placer mining, will provision her for two years and will carry a party of twenty selected men with him. Alter takink up claims for his party. Ward will announce the exact location of his new Eldorado to the world. He says there is room for ten thousand miners where he made his find He is now in Philadelphia, Pa. and will be glad to give information or advice concerning the gold fields % any who write to him.
