WASHINGTON. Feb. l6.-The negotia
tions with the high joint commission
are at critical stage. and this fact has
negotiations. which are unwarranted up
to date The Americans have made a
number Of concessions on important
points. to such an extent, they say. as
to imperil ratification should treaty
be framed. On important points the
two sides have reached agreements. but
on others they have wholly failed to
agree. and matters are now about at
pass where it must be decided soon
whether to report treaty embracing
points agreed upon or to disagree on ali
points, because unable to agree on some
items.
LONDON, Feb. l6.-The Washington
correspondent of The Daily Chronicle
expresses the belief that the days ses-
sion of the Anglo-American high com.
mission will be the last and that the
negotiations will result in complete
failure, the american commissioners
refusing the concessions asked by the
Canadians" Commenting editorially
upon the dispatch, The Daily Chronicle
says:
.All this is black news which will
cause deep disappointment to all con-
cerned, including, We feel sure. Presi
dent Mckinley and all responsible
American statesmen. It is needless to
whitewash facts. The real obstacle is
undoubtedly the American senate. We
cannot believe Canada has been obdu-
rate and English sympathy with her
will be warm and undivided. The mat
ter is specially to be regretted. looking

POWER PLANT BURNED
A $4,000 Fire at the Butte
Electric Works.
LIVE WIRE WAS EXPOSED
1t Looked at One Time as IF the Whole
Plant Was Doomed-The Wires
Cut to Prevent Ac-
cidentS.

The power plant Of the Butte General
Electric company was damaged to the
extent of about $4,000 by fire this
morning. 1t was that portion of the
power plant known as the Silver Bow
station, on the east side of Montana
street, just south of Silver Bow creek,
and what was formerly the plant of the
Silver Bow Electric company.
The fire is understood to have started
from live wire becoming exposed.
When discovered the whole roof of the
engine and dynamo room was on fire.
BY the time an alarm could be respond
ed to from the Butte Reduction works
and two lines of hose laid, the whole
interior was enveloped in flames.
The fire burned fiercely, and it looked
at one time as If this whole portion of
the power plant was doomed. Chief of
the City Fire Department Flannery
with City Electrician Kessler, respond
ed to telephone call, and under their
direction the inexperienced firemen
made much greater Roadway. The fire
started about 2 o'clock and at o'clock
was so nearly under control that 1t is
assured that only the engine and dy-
namo room will be destroyed. The loss
is variously estimated at from $50, 900 to
$4,000, but it is conservatively thought
that $4,000 will be about the figure.
AS soon as it became certain the fire
would be disastrous, the wires were cut,
preventing any casualties. AS the cleo
trio power facilities have been greatly
mixed for some time it is likely the
power company will be hardly able to
supply all the power the city requires.

BUTTE News.
GAVE IT A BLACK EYE
New Hook and Ladder Truck
May Be Rejected.
HAS BEEN TWICE TESTED
Many Defects Discovered by the Com
mittee-1t Is Not Up to Specf1ca-
tons in Several Important
Particulars.

1t is not unlikely that the city coun-
Gil will refuse to accept the new hook
and ladder truck recently manufacture
ed by the Fire Extingusher company
for the fire department, There is little
doubt on the point, in fact none, if the
council should happen to view the new
purchase in the same light as the three
members of the fire and water commit
tee. who met yesterday to consider
what kind of a report should be made
to the council concerning the new ap-
paratus. Chairman Page and Alder
men Seibenaler and Ferns attended the
meeting, and after checking up the
points of the new truck with the specifi-
cations furnished by Fire Chief Flan-
merry, the gentlemen formulated a re-
port. While they do not recommend
rejecting the truck, they give it a pref
ty black eye and recommend that the
council sit as a committee of the whole
on the final disposition to be made of
the matter. After the formal manner of
subject the report reads:
1.-THE contract was for a 65-foot lad
der. We find the ladder will not work
at 65 feet, as the pulley ropes bind at
that length. The contract weight was
1856 pounds. We find the ladder weighs
AL, which is 26 pounds over the con-
tract. We also find that the ladder is
not safe for any more than three men
to go up on at any one time. The agent,
or the factory, will not guarantee the
ladder to hold any specific weight. We
also find that the truck is top-heavy
and the running gear is not heavy
enough for the top weight. The seat is
so arranged that it is not safe for any
man to drive team of horses running
to a fire, as he would be unable to hold
the horses in check. We find that on
the front running gear of the chemical
the axle is "A inches and on the back
"a inches, the seagraves axle is 25s,
wherein the new truck has one IL inch
axle, so we think that it is not capable
of carrying the weight. We recommend
that the council in committee of the

whole act in the rejection or accept
ance of the ladder
When the matter of purchasing a new
truck first came up some months ago,
two kinds of apparatus were consider
ed. One was the Seagraves and the 9TH
er the Fire EXtinguishers make. The
Seagraves truck cost something like $500
more than the Fire EXtinguisher's, and
in the interest of economy the council
let the contract to the latter company
against the strenuous protest of Chief
Flannery. who represented that the
Fire EXtinguisher ladder was so much
heavier than the other as to make it
far less adapta Bile TO the uses of a
small department like Buttes. Besides,
the old Seagraves truck now in the de-
partment had proven it's utility, while
the Fire EXtinguisher was an unknown
quantity.
In time the ladder arrived Tt has
been twice tested, disclosing the de-
fects enumerated in the committee re-
port The truck has been sized up a
dozen or more times by different alder
ment but the committee has not been
able to reach a report till yesterday
Should the truck be rejected, the
economy practiced may result in a law
suit, as the truck was especially man
ufactured and the company will doubt
less insist on being paid.
The committee decided to recommend
the granting of the petitions of resi-
dents of the Clark addition for the ex-
tension Of water MAINS
