Philadelphia, June 14.-Fire broke out
at 7:30 O'Clock last evening at the ex-
tensive plant of the Philadelphia Oil
Refining company at Point Breeze, on
the Schuylkill river, in the extreme
southwestern section of the city. The
burning oil was soon running in blazing
streams all over the place and into the
river. At 10 o'clock the fire was burn
ing furiously, and three vessels in the
river were on fire.
Hundreds of men were endeavoring to
stop the progress of the flames by build
ing entertainments, water having no ef-
feet. The fire was extending toward
the Point Breeze Gas works, one of the
city plants now under lease to the
United Gas Improvement company.
At II o'clock the fire was under con-
troll, and the destruction was confined
to the refining company's property. ex-
cepting that two oil carrying steamers
were destroyed and a third steamer

Veracity" in the Senate.
Washington, June IA. - The senate
yesterday passed a bill granting the
Cripple Creek Railroad company right
of way through the Pixies Peak, Colo,
timber reserve, and also an act for the
appointment of a non-partisan commits
sion to gather information and recon-
mend legislation on the problems pre-
scented by labor. agriculture and capt.
tai.
The resolution to investigate the pay
ment of the claim OF the book concern
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
south was then discussed. it being
charged that in getting the claim
through deception had been practiced
upon the senate. A heated colloquy be-
tween Chandler and Pasco was the
feature of the discussion. Chandler
said that Pasco was unwittingly and
unwillingly the agent through which the
deception had been practiced. Pasco
demanded the withdrawal of the state
msnt, but Chandler insisted that it was
correct and refused to withdraw it. al
though he disclaimed any intention to
reflect upon Pasco's honor.
Pasco then said that Chambers state
ment was untrue and he (Chandler)
knew ii, and Chandler retorted that
the truth is the exact opposite of that
Statement" The incident then closed
and the resolution went over.
The debate upon Hawaiian annexa-
ton continued in the house. ten speeches

Have a L. :. Bond.
1t is probable that never before has 50
systematic and energetic an effort been
made to actually reach the people. The
treasury will not wait for the peopls to
come to it; it has gone to them: and
every man, woman and child who has
$50 70 invest will not lack an opportunity
to buy q government bond and thus
participate in the war loan. Already
many have subscribed heavily to the
loan, not by single subscriptions, but by
several, expecting thus to be allotted
among the first. 1t is the intention of
the department. under the law, TO con-
sicer several subscriptions by the same
individual. firm, or corporation, in the
aggregate. as one subscription.
Thus, fifty separate subscriptions,
each for a 500 by the came person, will
be considered as a single subscriptions
of $1,000 for $40 bonds, and such sub
scription will have TO wait for ailot-
merit until the $1,000 cease is reached.
Another important feature in floating
the new loan is found in the fact that
Secretary Gage for all subscriptions of
$500 and less will begin the allotment
at once. This fact should be borne in
mind by small investors in order that
they may not delay their subscriptions
until the last moment. when the heavy
subscriptions are taken up for consid-
GRAFTON.
For all amounts received of $500 and
under receipts Will be given immediate
ly, and the bonds delivered at the earli-
est practicable date. This course is
taken. it is understood, because 1t is be-
lieved that after all the small demands
are satisfied there will still be enough
left TO be distributed among the large
subscribers, although the Indications at
the present tine are that the loan will
be participated in to an unusual extent
by people of small means
