sired-that we should not remain perma-
nently isolated from the continent Of
Europe, and l think 1t must have ap-
peared evident to everybody that the nat
ural alliance IS between ourselves and the
German empire. We have had our diff
ferences, quarrels anu tentions, but
they have all been about petty matters
Those difficulties have been gradually re-
moved until now 1 cannot conceive that
any point can arise In the immediate fu-

many into antasonism of interests. On
the contrary, I can foresee many things
in the future which must cause anxiety

our interests are clearly the same as
Germany's, and in which the understand

AIMED AT FRANCE.
Referring to the attacks of the foreign
press, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain said these
newspapers had not even spared 1.-The al
most sacred person Of the queen"
This" continued the speaker" provok-
ed natural indignation, which may have
serious consequences If our neighbors do
not mend their ways"

threat of the colonial secretary.

threat of the colonial secretary
1t was a matter for congra tula ton. Mr.
Chamberlain asserted, that the worst OF
these 'dirgracefull attacks did not APP
pear in the German papers. a new triple
alliance between the Teutonie race and
the two great branches of the Anglo
SaXons, would, said the colonial secre-
tary. be potent influence IN the future
of the world. The speaker explained that
he used the word alliance but it mat
tered little whether they had an alli-
ance committed to paper or IAN under
standing which existed in the minds of
the statesmen of the respective coun-
tries" determination In every case to
look for favorable motives upon the part
Of those whose friendship was desired
would be of enormous advantage to both
the nations concerned and others.
SPEECH CAUSED A STIR.
1t has been long since a pubic speech
has been delivered that has excited so
much comment as Mr.. Chamberlains yes
terday. Every provincial paper impor-
tant Or not, has lending editorial this
morning, discussing the secretary's utter
ances. The Liberal pape1ssnaturaHy are
little pleased They, think England ought
to continue the policy of holding her
self from entanging alliances and they
attack Mr.. Chamberlain roundly for the
irritating tone he adopted towards
France. They remind the secretary that
this is only repetition of the splash
he made in his speech of May IL last,
when he irritated Russia. One paper asks
whether the foreign secretary still exists,
or whether the foreign Office has been
merged in the colonial office.
In most cases the Conservatives and
moderate Liberal organs comment upon
the subject with approval saying
there has never been time when
such union was necessary between ma
lions who were anxious for peace and
civilization. The Daily News remarks:
"Once more Mr.. Chamberlain has acted
as interpreter fer the nation. The new
alliance of Great Britain, the United
States and Germ any, with perhaps Japan
thrown in, and with Austria and Italy in
the background, is something to make
those foul-mouthed PaTisians shiVer. If
they cannot cease their Insults, their col
onies will be taken from them, ard given
TO Germany and Italy. England has no
quarrel with the present French govern
ment, but how long will it stand against
the Vaccinations of DR.. Leyds and the
general staff, who are deliberately seek
ing to make an Anglo-French WARP"
Tile Graphic says:
1.-The country will be glad to. hear that
its relations with the United States and
Germany are so cordial, and of so close a
character as to justify Mr.. Chamberlain
in speaking Of an understanding amount
i1.g to a new triple alliance"
The Standard says:
There are no other peoples who have
so much in common as these which have
the old Saxon blood in shcir veins. Ger
many and the United States can scarcely
deem each other aliens, and there are
few Englishmen ard Americans who will
not rejoice to think of Germany being as
ISOLATED with them in forwarding peace,
commerce and civilization. The new alli-
ance will assuredly crafty this feeling
inasmuch as it will add to their protec-
ton against external dangers"

effect Ladders were run up, both In
front and rear, and the fight made on the
flames from every floor while the stand
pipes in connection with the fire escapes
were also utilized, but despite every eff
fort at control the fire continued to gain.
There was stiff northeasterly wind
blowing, and as it caught the flames huge
volumes of glittering, lurid, spark-laden
waves swept toward the rear In this
part the fire burned fiercest until l. made
its way clear to the front of the building
and burst from the windows. When the
flames leapcd from the second story,
on the front side, four members Of En-
CINE Company No. were on the fire es-
cape platform and seemed envelOped by
the fire. Spectators below shouted to the
men to come down, and turned aside
fearful that some one of the fire fighters
would be carried away by the fiery blast.
But the men aVerted their faces and
stuck to their post until the hose was
dragged from the burning window sill,
when they were forced to abandon their
perilous position, all escaping without in
jury.
Famed by the draught as the windows
melted away under intense heat the
flames burst into renewed fury and almost
in an instant seemed to spread through
out the five stories of the threatened Sec
ton.
Spectators near by backed away
from the roaring flames and believed the
entire building doomed. But the twenty
four-inch fire wall dividing the extreme
eastern section of the building, 6OX160
feet, from the other part. stopped the
progress of the fire in a westerly direc-
ton, thus rendering the large part of the
big building comparatively safe, with
reasonable caution by the department to
keep the flames from breaking through
the wall or burning over by way of the
roof. To prevent this latter contingency,
Chief Cook placed half a dozen lines Of
hose on the roof, and when the flames
finally burst high in the air another
advantageous attack was begun from
above. But it seemed to make little
difference how vallantly the f1remen bat
tied with the flames deVourlng the
doomed mart of the building. Fire crept

MEMBERS OF THE FIRM ARRIVE.
AS soon as members of the firm could
be notified of the fire they hurried to the
scene. c.. NJ. Gr.ggs and Theodore
Griggs were the first to arrive and with
a force of employees, who had been at
tracted to the store, began carrying out
the valuable Office effects and records.
Mi Cooper did not arrive until the work
of destruction was nearly complete. No
member of the firm was able to give &C
curate estimates of the loss. The build
ing cost 100000, while the entire stock
amounted to 100000. BY reason of the
value of the stock in the burned portion,
c. NJ. Griggs says the loss will be dis
proportionately heavy, estimating the to-
tai loss as in the above table
Considerable damage was caused in the
section beyond the fire wall by water
and smoke. The whole building was
filled with dense smoke for several hours
and some of the stock must suffer Sc
verely from this, while water entered
the entire basement and the two lower
floors of the part adjoining the fire wall.
The salvage corps. did unceasing work
during the fire, spreading no less than hVe
wagon loads Of tarpaulins, some OF which
were burned On the first and second moor
of the destroyed section.
The Northern Pacific Express company
and the National Express company occu-
DIV the basement of the building, in the
rear, on Wacouta street. and had their
rooms full of packages when the fire
broke out. Everything was hurriedly
taken out of the rooms, however, and re-
moved to places of safety before 1t was
realized that this part of the building was
not endangered.

COLOMBIAN REVOLT.
1t Is Reported to Be Gaining Great
Strength.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 3O-Colom-
blan advices received here by the steam
er Louisiana say the revolution is
spreading throughout the Colombian re-
public and gaining great strength De-
tails as TO the movements of the Lfber-
ais are lacking, but the stereotyped CEN
sorized cable dispatches relating to gov
eminent success are discredited, the fact
being that the main bodies Of the
insurgents are avoiding action until the
revolution is thoroughly organized Sew
eral casual bands of recruits have been
dispersed, and few reverses have been
suffered on the water but the insurrec-
ton is not fully launched yet and is ap-
parently awaiting further outside aid,
presumably Venezuelan, which, 1t Is as
serted is delayed owing to the outbreak
of counter revolution there.

LONDON, Nov. SO-Dealing with the
attitude Of foreign nations in a speech
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, said:
II rejoice, and it is perhaps natural,
for l have taken a pei sonal interest in
the matter. in the friendly feeling which
hope is now permanent between the two
great branches Of the Anglo-Saxon race
l have so many friends in the United
States-almost as many as I have here
and can conceive of no greater disaster
to the two countries than to find them
selves hostile to each other Yet l re-
member when I first visited America my
surprise and establishment at the evil
dence given me by statesmen and politi-
clans and in articles in the press Of con-
slant suspicion of the objects Of Great
Britain; constant doubts as to her in
tegrity and a general unfavorable esti-
mate of our prospects and character.
Once, addressing a great meeting III
Philadelphia, ventUred to say that what
we wanted was a new Columbus to set
out from America, discover the United
Kingdom and return TO America and tell
them something they did not know of the
strange inhabitants Of these islands.
This ill-feeling was due, 70 doubt, to
many causes, due to the fact that the
United States bad never been at war
with any great power but England, due
to their traditions. extending over a CEN
fury, due to a feeling that the sympa thy
of Great Britain was not with them in
their Civil war, and to the general belief
that the people of Great Britain would
see with satisfaction any harm that might
befall them. It appeared to me almost
opinions.
But what the reservations Of states
men could not do was done by the sym
pathy We were able to give when the
United States found itself the object Of
the suspicion which has so otter charac-
terized our own transactions, when en-
gagged in q war of justice against op.
preston, war in favor Of civiliZa ton
and good government. Our action proved
to the Americans that We were indeed
one people, Of the same thoughts and
guided by the same principles The as
sur&nce that was given them in the
course of the Spanish war WILL believe,
never be forgotten, and has placed our
relations III an amicable condition.
