FIRE AT AGUSTA, GA.
Solid Business Block DESTROYED, EN-.
failing n Loss of About One
Million Dollars.

Augusta, Ga. Dec. 11.-A fire which
had its origin in a dry goods store
here shortly after o'clock Sunday
morning burned four hours and laid
waste solid block in the center of
the business portions of the city. The
damage will approximate 81, 100000.
There are no casualties. The flames
were discovered in the second floor of
the big wholesale and retail dry goods
store of j. b. White and by the time
the fire department. had responded to
the alarm the flames were beyond
control. Chief Roulette sent in a
general alarm and seeing that the en-
tire department would have great
difficulty in overcoming the fire wired
Macon and Savannah for help.
The Arlington Annex and the
stores beneath it, all II part of the
old Central Hotel property, abutted
the store of j. b. White on the up
town side, and all were involved in
the first onslaught of the flames, af-
ter getting outside of Whites big
store. Next came Masonic Hall, Il
handsome threestory building, occu-
pied by Offices and lodge rooms. Into
this the flames ate their way from
the rear. Soon the structure was
thoroughly ablaze, and it was seen
that there was no longer any possi-
bility that the Abingdon Hotel could
be saved.
AS soon as the fire WAS discovered
the guests of the Arlington were
awakened. There was much excite
ment in the hotel. Guests, bewilGered
at the noise and the glare of the
flames, ran hither and thither, appar-
emily dazed. All made their escape
by the stairways. Many commercial
men, stopping at the hotel, lost hun
dreds of dollars worth of samples
which they had displayed. The guests,
however, managed to save much of
their effects,

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR,
1t fs Thought in London That Dam
ger Still Threatens Gen. Lord
Mcthuen's Forces.

London, Dec. 9.--Lord Methuen's
restoration of the railway while re-
lieving load of anxiety here eccen-
tuates the dangers still threatening
his force. 1t is gathered from the bfief
official dispatch that Commandment
Prins Loos' contingent was taken be-
tween forces acting from Belmont
and southwark from Modder river.
1t is quite possible, however, that re-
Inducements were sent to Belmont
merely as a precautionary measure.
There is little other news of import
ance. Reports continue to come from
Ladysmith that dissension exists
among the Beers, and especially that
the Orange Free State troops are dis
contented. There are also all kinds
of rumors of movements of comman-
does from place to place but the fact
is that little is known here regarding
the actual position of the Boer forces
Moreover the rumors of a collapse of
Boer spirit have been heard so often
as not to cause much satisfaction
now.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.
Total Estimates for the Year Was
$73S,S5J,24S, Against S694.OO6,-
$50 the Preceding Year.

Washington, Dec. 9.-An analytical
comparison of the estimates for this
year, the appropriations of last year
and the various increases was issued
Friday by Messrs. Cleaves and Courts,
the clerks of the senate and house ap-
preparation committees, respectively.
1t shows total estimates this year,
$73S, ,S55,24S, against $694, 4,0O6,4s0 last
year. The estimates this year are
$l14,29S,57S more than the amount ac-
tually appropriated last year. The
chief increases are, army $47,2s1 ,929;
Notifications $6,s19,O36; navy $26.145,-
$50; post Office SIS. .l43.661; sundry civil
$21,6s6.777. The total estimates for
this year exceed the total estimated
revenue for 1901 by s71,Os1, 1894, but
counting the sinking fund this excess
10 reduced to $1S,Os1,994.

GEN. ALEJANDRINO.
He With His star, 1t Is Reported,
Has SurPendered-Insurg
Camp Captured.

Manila, Dec. 11.-An expedition,
headed by the battleship Oregon, left
Manila for Subig Saturday night 1t
is reported that the Filipino COM
mander, Gen. Alejandrino, with his
staff, has surrendered to Gen. Near
thur, and there is also rumor that
Alejandrino is at Aguilar, suffering
from wound received in fight be-
tween insurgents and bandits, and
that he will be given an opportunity
to surrender, and will be properly
cared for.
Maj. Spence, with column of the
Bad regiment. captured new insur-
gent camp, an uncompleted strong
hold in the Tassan district. He left
Dinalupan at daybreak Saturday
morning, and marched 10 miles along
mountain trails, finally encountering
a large band of insurgents, who re-
treated after brief skirmish. The
Americans had no losses.
The records of the treasury of the
so-called Filipino government, togeth-
er with a quantity of paper money
and another Nordenfeldt, have been
found at Mangatarem.
Three Americans. who, with a com
missary sergeant of the 18th infant
ry, were travelling from San Fernando
to Angeles, left their escort for a
moment and went into the BUSH AS
they did not return speedily, a search
was made for them but they could
not be found. They were probably
captured by the rebels.
A mail orderly disappeared between
Angeles and Bamban. He also is sup
posed to have been captured.
A force of 100 insurgents Saturday
attacked, near Baliuag, a wagon train
escorted by 30 men of the 10th in
fantry. A sharp engagement follow
ed. The insurgents lost IS killed and
nine captured. During the recent at
tack by the insurgents upon Vigan,
the Filipinos obtained possession of
the plaza and of a church in the CEN
ter of the town, from which the
Americans dislodged them. 1t seems
that the escaped Spaniards obtained
guns and fought with the Americans
against the insurgents.

UD-The Report Heard For
Thirty Miles.

Bradford, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE nitro
glycerin magazine of the Penslyva-
mia Torpedo Co., located in Bolivar
hollow, one and one-half miles from

port that was heard for 80 miles. The

earth Is feet deep by 80 feet in cir
cumference. Trees were torn into
splinters at the scene of the eXplo-
sion and the brick of which the mag
azine walls were constructed was re-
duced to reddish powder which COW
cred the snow over wide area. Much
damage was done i'm this city and Vi
cinity by the breaking of glass, over
turning of chimneys, etc. 1t is not
believed any one was killed. An oil
stove, fed automatically, is believed
to have caused the explosion.

The Week in the Senate Does Not
Promise to Be a Very
Active One.
PREPARATIONS FOR FUTURE WORK.
Resolution Declaring the Sympathy of
This Country With the Beers in
Their War With England.
The House VIII Devote the Week
to the Financial Debate On the
Currency BilI-RepubIicans
For the Measure.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE week
does not promise to be busy one in
the senate, the indication being for
routine business and short sessions
inside the chamber. with much prep
aration for future work in the COM
mittee rooms. Senator Mason will
open the week with a speech on his
resolution declaring the sympathy of
the country with the Beers in their
war with Great Britain. There may
be other brief speeches upon this and
other questions, though there is
general disposition on the part of
senator's to postpone speechmaking
until after the holidays.
The republican senators generally
feel that the most important work
for the present is to secure the reor-
ganization of the committees, espec-
tally the finance committee, as pre-
liminary to other work.
The finance committee may meet
on Tuesday for preliminary consider
alton of the finance bill, out this is
not yet decided upon. The expecta-
tion now is that the bill will not be
taken up in the senate until after the
Christmas holidays. The committee
on foreign relations will take up the
reciprocity treaties on Wednesday.
The committee on privileges and elec-
tions will consider the contests over
senatorial seats in a desultory way,
but the real work on these will not
begin until Saturday when opposing
counsel will be heard in the Quay
case.
The house will devote the week en-
tirely to the financial debate on the
currency bill. Under the terms of
the special order adopted on Friday
the general debate will open on Mon
day Immediately after the reading of
the journal and continue daily from
noon until o'clock Friday. On Sat-
urday the bill will be read paragraph
by paragraph for amendment under
the five minute rule. The vote will
not be taken until the following Mon
day. The debate will probably cover
wide range, including general re-
threshing of the campaign issue of
1896 and there may be some stormy
incidents. The republicans are ar
rayed solidly for the bill. but many
of them who have never before advo-
Gated the gold standard doubtless
will have to take the floor to explain
their change of position. On the
democratic side some of the mSmbers
are reported as favoring the bill, but
there has been no canvass made as
yet, and it remains to be seen how
many of them will join the republic
ans upon the measure. Representa-
tive Overstreet Gnd.), who will have
charge of the bill on the floor, will
