Snow Prevented Greater Connagratlon

Snow Prevented Greater Confiagration.
The most disastrous fire in the his
tory of the village of brooklyn COM
mencCd at $50 a. IN. and eleven bust
ness places on the west side of the
public square were wiped out of exist
encc. The fire started in the bakery
and grocery of George c. Gilbert, and
spread with great rapidity to the adj
joining buildings, which burned like
finder, and it was soon evident the en-
tire row of buildings must go. The
heat was so intense ii cracked the glass
in all the store windows on the OPP
posite side of the square, and if the
buildings had not all been covered
with snow there would not be a dozen
buildings left in the village. There
was much excitement and many mar
row escapes but no one seriously in
jured. The total loss is SIS, 900.

WASHINGTON, March 9.--In view of
the possibility of war between the
United States and Spain, there has
been a great deal of speculation in
Washington as to the attitude likely
to be assumed by other European
powers, and especially by Great
Britain. There has been no idea that
Great Britain would be actively drawn
into such war in any way. and it is
now generally believed that the United
States would have her moral support

Summary of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

NOIES'
MINISTER WOoDFORD has warned the
state department at Washington to
watch the future movements of Spanish
warships. 1t was stated that Spain.
urged on by the party in power at Mad
rid. was preparing to begin hostilities
against the United States without
waiting for formal declaration of war.
In reply to telegram on the 4th
from Secretary Long, of the navy de-
partment, Adm. Sicard stated that he
had talked with the president of the
court and they had agreed that it was
not yet possible to fix date for the
finding of the court as to the cause of
the Maine disaster The court of in
luiry finished its investigation at Key
West, Fla, and left in the evening on
the M angrove for Havana.
The cabinet meeting at Washington
On the 4th considered the killing of
Baker. the colored postmaster of Lake
City, s. c., and it was decided to in-
crease the governments reward to
I'll, 500 for the perpetrators of the crime.
THERE was recently considerable
talk in senatorial circles in Washing
ton about a proposition to be sub
mitted to congress for the United
States to guarantee $500, OO0, 900 Cuban
bonds as the price of the islands free
dom.
A WASHINGTON dispatch stated the
other day that the Cuban question was
nearing an acute stage, President Nc
Kinley being resolved to press for the
ending of the war in the island by
May 1, realizing that then the rainy
season would commence and it would
be impossible to intervene before Octo.
Der. and thus there would be six mon tbs
more of starvation for the unfortunates
in Cuba.
The Spanish government, it was an
nounced at Washington, has demanded
the recall of Consul General Lee from
Havana and that merchant vessels
take supplies to the Cuban sufferers
instead of United States warships
The government at Washington has
complied with the latter demand, but
will not recall Gen. Lee
SECRETARY ALGER, of the war de-
partment, has entered into contracts
for the delivery, within 80 days. of o.
500 pairs of ambulance wagon wheels,
$500 sets of harness and 500 ambu-
lances. Contracts have also been
made contingently for army horses
and mules.
A HIGHLY feverish condition pre-
vailed in Washington on the 18th. caused
by the announcement that Spain had
asked for Consul General Lees recall,
and the backdown by the Spanish gov.
eminent did not relieve the strain. 1t
was feared that war was imminent.
Reliable information from Havana was
to the effect that the report of the court
of inquiry had found almost unmistak.
able evidence that the Maine was ex.
ploded by a mine.
SECRETARY LONG has issued an order
directing that the Minneapolis and CO.
lumbia be put in commission immedi.
ately. He also sent orders to Philadel.
phia, New York and Boston for the en-.
listment of 500 seamen at once.
THE federal supreme court on the
18th rendered an opinion in the maxi.
mum freight rate case. Justice Har.
Ian held the Nebraska law to be con-
trary to the 14th amendment in that it
authorized the taking of property
without due process of law and was
therefore invalid. The opinion was
favorable to the railroads.

MAMMOTH BUILDING.
The Vast Foundations of Chicago's
New Post Office.
OAs OF the Greatest Superstrusturs~
m This Country-The Structure
Will Weigh 16O,-
600 Tons.

If all the materials in the recently
completed foundation for Chicago's
magnificent government building were
to be loaded on wagons. a ton to each
load, and IS feet allowed for each
wagon and team, the procession of
teams and wagons would reach 731
miles, or as far as from Chicago to
Rochester. Gen. William Sooy Smith,
engineer in charge of the foundation,
recently read a paper on the sub
structure at meeting of the Western
Society OF Engineers, in which he gave
many interesting data regarding the
work that has been done :he past year.
These are some of the facts:
The soil on which Chicago rests is
loose and sandy, in general, for about
IL feet. Then comes stratum OF hard,
brittle clay about three feet thick. Be-
low this, for 50 to 60 feet, there is avery
soft. blue plastic clay, with spots of
sitter clay here and there and traces
of gravel, but nowhere is the clay firm
enough to sustain any considerable
weight. AT depth of from 69H to 71h
feet below the surface hardpan is
struck, and this is almost impossible to
penetrate. On account of this peculiar
nature of the soil it was decided that
the most feasible, safest and also least
expensive foundation would be one of
piles, resting upon the hardpan lime
stone.
Piles of Norway pine. 5,0s7 in mum.
Der, and none less than 16 inches in di-
ameter at the butt and more than ten
inches in diameter at the end, were
driven by the powerful drivers, and
six to eight blows of the hammer to
drive the pile one inch. The piles were
driven with lower ends squared, not
sharpened, and were cut off 261l feet
below street level and 12H feet lower
than low water level of the lake. 1t
was nice job to cut off these tops Of
piles at the required depth below, for
the trenches kept filing up with water
that oozed all too freely through the
clay. The work, in fact, had to be
done under water. The piles and oak
platforms bolted to their tops are thus
perpetually immersed, insuring ever
lasting durability. Fifty-nine Of the
piles are driven under the place where
the subtreasury is to be.
AS the building is to weigh not less
than 10000 tons, each pile will have
its share to perform in sustaining this
great weight. But the building will be
safe, for each pile is required to uphold
but 30 tons. whereas the extreme load
it will sustain il l36.75 tons. There are
piles under London bridges over the
Thames, and also in bridges over the
Seine. which sustain weights Of from 30

to 100 tons each. When the new Chi
cago public library was being built SO
tons of pigiron were loaded upon the
top of one of the piles. and the weight
stood for weeks without settlement.
Upon the tops of the groups Of piles
white oak timber platforms are secure
ly bolted, and upon these platforms are
beds of fint-like concrete three feet
thick which have undergone thorough,
searching tests. The masonry for re-
tanning walls is of Joliet and Lemont
limestone. This was laid by eight der
ricks, laying from 1000 to 1,5OO cubic
feet of stone per day. In the excava.
tions for the basement in the center Of
the lot 22,267 cubic yards of earth were
taken out, and in the digging of the
outer trenches 54,294 cubic yards more
were removed. Concrete to the extent
of 5,122 cubic yards, 796, 1852 board meas
ure of timber Gaping, 2s4,144 cubic
yards of stone and 81 1877 cubic yards
of rubble masonry have been used.
The whole constitutes typical pile
foundation, one in which engineers and
architects everywhere are interested,
and one which builders cf edifices in
Chicago would do well to copy. There
is no danger that the new government
building will settle and crack. Anoth-
er significant fact, and one which re-
fleets great credit upon the architects
and contractors, is that not one of the
surrounding big buildings-Monad-
mock, Great Northern, Marquette or
Grand Pacifc-has been moved one
inch from its, place, Notwithstanding
the heavy pile driving that has been
going on for many months. The de-

was because the temporary plank wall
that had been driven in the outer side
of the trench was not strong enough to
prevent the spongy, watery clay from
coming in to fill up the depression
caused within the fence by the pile
