Register Company Take Fire.
About 80 last evening Fireman Jerry
Griffin of steamer No. noticed smoke
issuing from the cellar entry to the
store of the National Cash Register Co.
in the Boardman building, corner Chap
ell and State streets, and promptly sent
in an alarm from box 26 His prompt
ness probably averted what might have
been a serious blaze for when the fire.
men arrived smoke was pouring in vol
umes from the entry. Chemical engine
No. 1 was first on the spot. line of
hose was pushed down into the cellar
while another was taken upstairs into
the Boardman building and stream
played into the ash pipe leading into the
cellar. BY this time the rooms of the
Cash Register Co. We're filled with
smoke and the doors were opened to let
some out AS soon as entrance was OBJ
tanned into the cellar the firemen locat-
ed the blaze in a pile of empty boxes
in the rear. A line of hose was then
introduced through the jewelry store of
M. Frank and the water played into the
flames. The cellar, although kept in
good shape, was piled with empty boxes
from floor to ceiling and these Super
intendent Fancher ordered taken out,
as being dangerous.
The damage sustained from the fire
by he~merchants in the building was
very slight. Mr.. Seaman of the Ma
tional Cash Register CO. said that his
loss was chiefly from smoke. He also
had bicycle and some cash registers in
the cellar which were ruined by fire
and the action of the chemical. The
playing of the latter into the ash pipe
on the second floor Of the building caus-
ed a slight damage to the fixtures in
Hull's drug store on the corner by leak
ing through the ceiling ana flooding the
goods. Mr.. Seaman is insured by the
firm of V. F. Mcneil & Co., of so
Church street, and the insurance on Mr..
Hull's goods is carried by the firm of
George r. Burton & Sons. The cause
of the fire is thought to have been
spark from passing engine.

THE $50 900 900 PAYMENTTO SPAIN
Whftelaw Reid Describes the Principal
Under w htch IL yXns NEane E1N-


London, June 14.-The principal liter
ary feature of the first number of Lady
Randolph Churchilps new magazine, the
Anglo-Saxon Review, to be issued with
in the next ten days, will be paper by
Whitelaw Reid editor of the New York
Tribune, discussing the advances in in
ternational law and the changes in na-
tional policy resulting from the treaty
of Paris, 1899, which he helped to nego-
tiate The most important point in Mr..
Reid's paper is that the $20,O00,000 paid
to Spain upon the cession of the Philip
pines to the United States was not in
the remotest degree intended as COM
pensation for the islands, which were
taken, the writer asserts, because the
Americans had a right to them as in
demnity, if not for conquest, and that
the money paid was solely in recogni-
tion of the principle that debts attach
ing to territory and incurred for its
benefit should be transferred with Its
sovereignty. Mr. Reid contends that,
while the Americans were much re-
preached because they were unjustly
accused of ignoring this principle in Gu
ba. where it is not practicable, they have
not received any credit abroad for rec
ognizing it in the Philippines, where
there was at least o possibility Of 1T
seeming to apply. He also argues that,
while the Monroe doctrine stands un-
shaken what has been unsettled by the
war with Spain and the treaty Of Paris
is the old-time American idea as to the
sphere of national activities and the
power under the United States aim for
their extension.

am-Thetr Stnte Campaign

Harrisburg, Penn, June 14.-Four
hundred and thrty-five representatives
of the democracy of Pennsylvania met
here to-day for the purpose of nominat-
ing judges for the supreme court and
state treasurer. Shortly after midnight
the convention adjourned until to-mor-
row morning without having accom-
plished the first and most important
piece of work cut out for them namely,
the selection of a candidate for supreme
court judge, The fight appears to have
narrowed down to Judge Kennedy of
Allegheny and Judge Yerkes of Bucks.
Ten unsuccessful ballots were taken.
The platform adopted refers to Will
liam Jennings Bryan as ''our matchless
leader" denounces the increase in the
number and in the salaries of state off
Gals and censures Gov. Stone for his
indecent haste" in appointing M. S.
Quay to the vacancy In the United
States senate. The platform also says
that the campaign shall be confined to
fight on the alleged republican misrule

New York, June 14.-The Mazet COM
mittee held but one session to-day and
that was productive of but little import
ance. Comptroller Bird S. Color was
the main witness examined and he was
called to explain the refusal to approve
the issue of city bonds, made by the mu-
nicipal assembly. Mr. Color gave it as
his opinion that the issuance of these
bonds was a matter of necessity to the
citys public works and if their issuance
was not soon approved all the contem-
plated improvements would have to be
abandoned. The comptroller did not
hesitate to make vigorous criticisms of
the municipal assembly and declared
that the legislature should curb the pow-
ers of that body.

former years. Thomas L. Johnson and

FRENCH CABINET CRISIS.
Nj. Poincarc Meeting with Difficulties
in Forming New Ministry.


Paris, June 14.-M. Poincare who has
accepted the task of forming cabinet
is continuing his efforts, but meets with
numerous difficulties. He has been es-
pecially desirous of having NM. Bour-
geois, Krantz and Delcasse in the min
istry. M. Bourgeois declines to aban-
don his mission to The Hague. M. Del
casse declines to take anything but the
foreign office portfolio, while M. Poin-
care wants him to be in the ministry of
the interior or the ministry of marine;
and M. Krantz raises difficulties con-
cerning the Dreyfus trial. pointing out
that he has discussed the matter already
with M Casimir-Perier. 1t is under
stood that several other prominent men
have refused to enter the cabinet. These
rebuffs are likely to discourage M. Poin-
care, who is modest and inclined to steer
clear of political troubles.
