DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Two Lives Lost and a Thousand
People Rendered Homeless

that broke out in a building adjoining
the general warehouse of P. Nase &
Sons, Main street, this afternoon, did
enormous damage. A leading under
writer estimates the loss at S5O0,U0tl,
and the insurance about $500, eco.
The flames srpead to the wharves
along st. Johns River, where much
damage was done but the general
course of the confiagration was away
from the river.
At ) o'clock the destruction of sev-
eral buildings on Main street by the
use of dynamite stayed the progress
of the flames.
The area burned over comprises Gf-
teen blocks, or portions of blocks, and
the buildings destroyed $50.
The district ravaged by the fire was
composed largely of tenement houses.
and probably LOCO persons are home
less, a majority of them laboring peo-
pie.
Two deaths are to be set down to
the fire. A Miss Cunard, an aged lady
was burned to death in her house, and
Mrs. Arnold Mowery, who resided a
short distance from the scene, died
from the shock.

that the appropriation was insufficient,

confidence in the Americans, who had

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
OF COMMITTEE ON
LAWS OF WARFARE.
Question of Competence as Re-
CARDS the Scheme for Revision
of Geneva Convention.

THE HAGUE, May 25.-Both sections
of the Committee ON Laws of Warfare
of the Peace Conference met separately
to-day, and begRn the examination of
subjects submitted to them, the Red
Cross section discussing paragraphs D
and OF the circular of Count Murray
Jeff, Russian Minister of Foreign At
fairs, and the Brussels conference sec
ton discussing paragraph Z. Both
sections met subsequently and discussed
the question OF competence as regards
the scheme for the revision of the Ge-
neya convention known as the Morg-
| nier scheme.
The Morgnier scheme comprises mod
lficationS on the Geneva convention in
connection with wounded and sick pris-
oners, members of the hospital service,
conveys for the wounded, ambulances,
hospitals, property belonging to neu-
trallzed persons, religious and medical
staffs and kindred subjects The
scheme applies equally to land and sea
warfare.
1t was proposed to submit the scheme
to another commission for discussion,
and the question was then raised
whether the conference was competent
to deal with the matter Those who
took negative view argued that the
conference had decided in principle. and
| that all the Governments represented
| had agreed that nothing should be sub
mitted to the conference beyond the
eight points in the circular of Count
Muravieff. They contended that if the
conference once infringed this rule a
precedent would be created leading to
numerous difficulties, including proba-
bly, the springing up of the Armenian,
Macedonian and similar questions upon
the conference.
1t was also pointed out by the op-
ponents of the proposal to refer that
! inasmuch as the Morgnier scheme dealt
| mostly with the wounded and with hos
pltals, it would be impossible to discuss
the proposed notifications effectively
without the cooperation of doctors,
who alone would be capable of deciding
many of the points at issue AS
matter of fact, there is no man of med
ical training among the delegates.
The committee finally adjourned
without reaching a decision.
| There is no truth in the statement
that a proposal has been submitted to
the conference to abrogate the provis-
ions of the declaration of Paris of 1886
| regarding the protection of private
property in time of war.

to say to DR. McGiffert, Go where you

be to run a plowshare through the
