Bushels of WheaL'Destroyed.
Toledo, O., July 25.--The Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton elevator, 10
Gated in East Toledo, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last night and the loss
on building and contents will figure
nearly u million dollars. 1t is not
known how much insurance is Oh the
grain, amounting to 100000 bushels of
wheat, but the building carries 1885,
600 in various companies.
The fact that it was Sunday pre-
vented the fatalities which might have
followed, for the forty men who were
employed at the place had quit work
early and had been ont of the place
about two hours. Passersby noticed n
blaze in the cupola and gave an alarm,
but before any engine could reach the
place n terrific explosion occurred that
shook the foundations of surrounding
buildings. A mass of flames shot up
into the air hundreds of feet. The
building was almost Immediately en-
veloped, and within ten minutes an
other and more terrific explosion oc-
Cured, which tore out the entire side
of the building, which was a mass of
ruins half an hour after the first blaze
was noticed.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton elevator was largely owned by
eastern capitalists and had a capacity
of 1,00O,900 bushels. 1t was equipped
with every appliance to prevent spon-
taneous combustion, and the fire is a
great surprise to those who have in
spected the place. The actual loss to
the company will be SIS, 1000, while the
grain which is on consignment will be
almost a total loss to the shippers. II
q believed the cause of the fire was
spontaneous combustion.

they were without foundation.

STATESMAN NEEDED
IN TIE PHILIPPINES
General Anderson Says We Should
Send the Best Man We Have
to the Archipelago.
MILITARY SHOULD Be SUBORDINATE
Should be Merely a Means of Garry.
Ing Ont the Policy of the
Civil Administrations
Otis Not Criticised.

Chicago, July a6.-~The greatest
statesman in this country should be
made governor general of the Philip
pine islands. and the military authori-
lies be subordinated to him"
General Thomas Anderson, com
handing the department of the lakes,
yesterday outlined in the foregoing
words what he believed to be the best
course to pursue i'll the far east.
General Anderson expressed himself
as follows when asked his opinion of
the results likely to follow the installa-
ton of the new secretary of war. He
said:
The greatest cxigency with which
we have to deal at present exists
in the Philippines, and to it we should
bring the best talent we have. The
governor general should be first
of all q statesman. He should have
the dictation, of course, to be pursued,
and the military representatives
should carry out the orders of the
governor general implicitly, but pref
erably in his own way.
"As 1t is, General Otis is both civil
and military governor in the islands.
Exercising both of these functions, he
is the most absolute and arbitrary
ruler OH earth, the car of Russia not
excepted. The military power, should
in my opinion, be merely a means of
carrying out the policy of the civil adj
ministration. Understand that l do
not means this as a criticism OF Gen
eral Otis, for he is invested with this
dual power and must do the best he
can. l believe that the task he is try
ing to perform is too great for any one
man. no matter how capable he
may be.
THE mar at the head of the war de-
partment at Washington should be one
of good business and executive ability,
aud common sense. Craftsmanship is
required on the scene of action. 1
have no intimation of change in the
department by Mr.. Root. One thing is
certain, however, SO long Al General
Otis is allowed to remain in command
he should receive the support of the
administration at Washington. An in
correct policy carried out with deter
mination is usually productive of bet
ter results than is a policy which on
the whole might be better, but the ex-
ecution is %wavering.< Whether or not
General Otis has acted wisely in the
matter of press censorship I am too
far away to tell. Personally, I have a
great deal of respect for the corre-
spondents with whom I came in con
tact in the Philippines. and believe
them to be men of truth and honor.
There may be other elements entering
into the case, however, which would
justify General Otis in that which he
is said to have DONE"

The meeting ended in the greatest
disorder. Personal violence was re-

stricken from the real with brass,
knuckles. Several others were struck,
and for a time it looked as if the meet
ing would end in a general riot. Piss
tolls n knives were drawn, and but
for a temporary adjournment nor
bloodshed would surely have followed.
The trouble was precipitated during
an address by Harvey Myers, of Cow
ington. Some one in the audience in
terrupted him with the question, did

picture you now face, In the race for
the speakership of the Kentucky house

confusion ever witnessed at a political
gathering in this city. Goebel and
anti-Goebel men were yelling. Dur

buttons reported, but not a half dozen
people could hear the report. At the
completion the vote was declared carr
ried, aud half the crowd left the room,
when several personal alterations oc-
Cured on the outside.
When part of the crowd had left the
hall something like order was again
restored, and Myers was given an OPP
portunity to speak.

Movement to Break Away From
the Spanish Priesthood.
Manila, July 24.-6:15 p. ma Fill
Pine priest named Gregorie Agripay,
with the insurgents, is trying to lead q
movement for the independence of tho
church in the Philippines from the
Spanish priesthood. He has issued a
proclamation declaring himself the
vicar general of all the Filipino priests
in the districts outside of American
control on tile island of Luzon, and is
melting the priests to disobey the reg
ulations of the church and brother
hoods. The archbishop of the district
has issued a bulletin communicating
Agripay, and this has increased the
feeling between the Filipinos and tho
church.
The archbishop threatened to eX-
communicate the owners of Spanish
papers publishing announcements OF
Protestant and Masonic meetings,
whereupon an American paper warmed
him that he might he bundled out OF
the island like any other disturber of
the peace if he should incite religious
animosities.
The Dominican friars have begun tho
publication of a newspaper under the
title of the Libertas, for the purpose OF
defending the brotherhood.

Trouble Caused by the Demands OF
tho Drooa>rs

Trouble Caused by the Demands OF
the Pressers.
New York. July 26.-It is said at the
headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Tailors that between 5000 and 1000
coatmakers in Greater New York
struck this morning. The strike has
thrown out the basters, trimmers and
others.
The trouble seems to have been pre-.
cipitated by the action of the pressers,
to the number of 100, who last week
made n demand for piece work, ten
hours q day and 20 per cent increase in
the scale. The coatmnkers are opposed
to the piece work system, and they are
at cross purposes with the prcssers.
Harris Filler, secretary of the hide.
pendent Coatmakers' union. said the
coat-making shops in Greater New
York had practically stopped work.
BY striking the coatmakers, it was
said, could force the pressers to desisi
from their demands, particularly as to
niece work
