Eultan of Oman Compelled to Repudiate
Agreement with France.
BOMBAY, Feb. 24.--Important details
the action Of the British au-
,horities at Muscat, the capital of the
|ultanate of Oman, have just become
public. 1t appears that the news of the
base by the sultan of Oman of coaling
tation to France on the coast of Oman
baked out while the British political
Egent at Muscat, Major Eagan, was
bsent. He promptly returned to his
Post, but the sultan refused to furnish
i'm with any information. The COM
handler of the gunboat Sphinx there
tpon dispatched a lieutenant and armed
Iarty to Bandar Josh. But the sui
an, hoping to receive aid from the
French, continued to be recalcitrant.
he arrival of the cruiser Eclipse, with
tear Admiral Drummond on board,
brew the sultan subjects into panic,
hough the sultan himself still remained
bdurate. During the morning of Feb.
IS Admiral Drummond sent word ashore
hat unless the sultan attended dur
lar ON board the Eclipse at Q O'Clock
pat afternoon he would lombard the
brts at 2:20 p. m.
Notice of the admiral's intention was
bnt to the foreign consuls and the
pwn was speedily in confusion. The
ivisers Of the sultan entreated him to
hbmit and the Eclipse took a position
roadside to the town, while the other
ritish ships cleared for action. The
lltan thereupon posted q notification
the custom house and at the gates
the town that the agreement with
be French was cancelled. At noon the
lltan sent his brother on board the
clipse, but the British admiral refused
receive him as substitute. Just be-
pre- 2 o'clock the sultan of Oman al
ost unattended, arrived on board the
agship and remained there for two
purs, while the whole population lined
e beach and anxiously awaited the
ltcome. The sultan, it appears, com.
etely acquiesced to the British de.
and and handed over to Admiral
rummond the treaty with France On
e following day the admiral went to
q palace, where a great durbar was
I'D and the sultan publicly repudiated
S agreement with France.

BAD FIRE YESTERDAY.

| Early Morning Blaze Quilted the S. Fl.
Street Companys Building on Crown
Street
| The largest fire that has occurred in
| this city since the Bowdtch Furniture
company fire two years ago broke out
| yesterday morning about $50 o'clock in
the building occupied by S. FL. Street &
Co., 81 and SO Crown street. 1t is be-
lieved the fire started on the second floor
of the building in the portion rented by
Charles w. Foster, who has a corset
shop there.
The flames spread very rapidly and
before the firemen had reached the place
they had gained much Roadway. Mr.
Foster, who with Mrs. Foster lives in
the building, was alone at the time the
fire was discovered. He was aroused
from his sleep and after dressing found
the hallway full of smoke and the pas
sage cut off. Some of the spectators
tried to break in the door and rescue
Foster, but were unable to do so. The
crowd in the street finally abandoned
the attempt to get into the building and
when they saw the flames making such
rapid Roadway they advised Foster to
jump from the window from the second
story.
Foster lowered himself from the win
dow to the top of a billboard that stands
about eighteen feet from the ground,
and from this he jumped to the ground.
I, hyr t,n
smoke and two men in the crowd assist
ed him away from the building. He was
soon revived
When Superintendent Fancher arriv-
ed the flames We're bursting through the
roof and a second alarm was rung in.
Soon ten streams of water were being
poured into the building and the flames
We're being controlled
The building is owned by Mrs. Thorn
as Alling, widow of Thomas Alling of
the old planning mill firm of G. & 7. Al
ling of Water street The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000 on the building
and as much again on the stock on
hand.
The heaviest damage will probably
fall upon Street & Co., whose stock is
almost completely ruined by the water
that flooded the building. The loss on
the building will probably be about $S,-
900 and the loss on contents will also be
quite heavy.
The Foster Corset company has a con-
siderable stock on hand, which is prac-
tically ruined, and some valuable ma
chinery has been badly damaged. Mr..
Painters grocery stock is badly dam
aged. Water flooded through the up
per floors and drenched everything
His cellar is full of canned
goods, which. while not unsaleable, are
yet considerably injured The loss to
the two firms is estimated at $4,000.
All the property is covered by insur-
ance
