London, Feb. 23.-The Times in its edi-
torial comments upon the statement of the
British foreign office regarding the ad-
iournment of the high commission, does
not take a serious view of the matter. 1t
says: "Eyen if the commissioners had
agreed the agreement would have been
submitted to the new congress, entailing
about equal delay.
The Times believes that neither country
would quarrel over the Alaskan dispute,
and is, therefore, still hopeful that some
means may be found of resuming the ne
gotiations and arriving at a satisfactory
settlement.

whole city was thoroughly patrolled
and guards were doubled. Every avail
able man was dispatched to the region
of the fire. Impediments were placed
in the way of the firemen and the hose
was cut five times. This resulted in all
the natives being driven off the streets,
those in the immediate vicinity OF the
blaze being corraled in vacant lots and
guarded until the excitement was over.
In many instances the natives were in
solent and paid no regard to the orders
given them, and the soldiers were COM
PEELED to use harsh measures. The
butts of their rifles and their bayonets
We're freely applied.
The danger from live electric light
wires necessitated the closing of the cir
cult in the burning region, and the only
light in certain parts of the city was
that furnished by the blaze.
Shortly after midnight another big
fire was started in the Tondo district,
where the natives are thickest, and
ed to work, regular fusillade of rifle
and revolver shots was fired from the
windows and roofs of buildings The
firemen, escorted by soldiers, proceeded
to clean out the houses, while the fire
was unheeded. The 18th Minnesota
was reinforced by detacfmehts from the
Sd infantry, I'd Oregon, the Sd artil-
lery and 10th Pennsylvania. Bullets
flew in every direction in almost every
street in the Tondo and Bnondo dis
tricts, causing the most intense excite
ment.
Captain Robinson of Company c, 18th
Minnesota, and three men We're wound
the rebels had effected an entrance
through the American lines and were
advancing INTO the Guy, hurried ITdnll-
cally from the hotels and houses, only
to be stopped at the first corner by a
guard. The sounding of native bugle
call, Immediately preceding the firing,
lent color to the story. Thousands of
Chinese crossed the bridges and plazas
under fire, hurrying with their bundles
to the Chinese consulate. All night long
the fire spread through the Tondo dis
trict, sweeping away rows of houses
and devastating acres of territory.
The damage was inestimable. With
daylight punitive measures were de-
cided upon and the Americans, although
tired after their sleepless nights work,
soon cleared the district of every ma
tive after slight resistance.

REEDS SWELLED HEAD.
General Shafter Says a New Speaker Must
BE Elected.

BE Elected.
Los Angeles, Feb. 22.-Just prior to
his reception at the Westminster ho-
tel to-day, Major General w R. Shat
ter said:
II have been a republican all my life
and l think that Mr. Reed showed ex-
ceedingly poor taste and very little
courtesy in his recent actions in work
ing against the president. In my opin-
ion, if there is an extra session of con-
gress a part of it's work will be the
election of a new speaker of the house
Mr. Reed has grown very rabid of late
and is at present suffering with a
swelled head. When any man gets to
that point in his career he is lost. MI
Reed is, to say the least, acting very
unwisely and will in time see the error
of his way.
II doubt if there were so men in this
country at the time of the outbreak of
the recent war who had a suspicion of
the complications which have resulted
from it. No one could foresee the pres
ent Philippine troubles. but nearly ev-
cry, one was anxious for the conflict
and now it's results should be accepted
as natural part of the war. The idea
of suggesting that the Filipinos be per-
mtted to establish a government of
their own is ridiculous. Much as We
may dislike, it is the duty of the gov
ernment to continue the policy already
adopted relative to those islands. Sup
pose we were to let the natives try a
government of their own, it would be
only a short time before all European
powers would have the islands divided
among themselves, just about as long
as it would take them to split it up
This, in substance, is what General
Shafter said in a conversation with
Conerressna an-elpct Waters. The con-

Washington, Feb. 22-The authorities
here are giving close attention to the
daily developments in the military sit

cided to push the campaign against
the rebellious blowers of Aguinaldo
with energy. Every casualty report that
comes from General otis notes the

When the Legislature made the APP
preparation for the Gorham dormitory
Ex-Gov. Robe promised to pay $1,000 to
the State toward making up any differ
ence there might be between the APP
preparation and the actual cost of con-
structing the building. The appro-
priation having been reported insuffi-
cient to meet the cost Gov. Robbie has
promptly sent to the State a check for
the $4,000 he agreed to pay. While it
may be said that he has done no more
than he agreed to. on the other hand
we imagine that very few gentlemen
would have made the promise in the
first place and that not very many
under the circumstances would have
so readily admitted that the conditions
of the promise had arisen and turned
over the money so promptly as Gov.
ROBBIE has done. This is by no means
the first time that Gorham has profited
by the Governors generosity No
