FIRE At SOUTH H4RWICH, MASS.
Fourteen Dwellings and Numerous
Other Ruildimgs DESTROYED.

South Harwich Mass, Sept. 6.-Four-
teen dwelling houses, together with nu-
merous sheds and outbuildings, in this
town, We're completely wiped out by
fire to-day which, starting in the woods
to the northwest, swept through the lit
tie hamlet, is tonight still continuing
unconquered to the south, famed by the
same gale that first started it on its
destructive career. The fire apparently
started in the woods near Long Ponds
from some logs which were left burning
on Monday and the underbrush, being
very dry, caught to-day from the
sparks. Although men were quickly on
the scene they could not stay the flames
which continued on towards the little
village, only half mile away, and soon
the people began to realize that many,
if not all of their houses We're doomed
to destruction.
A great rush was made by the fire
fighters to the village, and as much of
the furniture as possible was removed
from the lines of the flames. The fire
soon reached the main street, where the
houses We're the thickest, and by this
time the entire population was almost
panic-strickn. The smoke was so thick
that it was feared at one time that
many women and children would be
lost. The first house to go was unoc-
cupied, but the flames continued to 9th
ers and thirteen families had their
homes destroyed before their very eyes
The general stores and lumber yard
of Fred Sears were on fire at one time,
but were saved, as were other houses in
the village which also caught.
1t looked at one time as if every
house in town would be destroyed, but
the fire went on into the woods to the
south where, at a late hour tonight,
it was still raging. The losses aggre-

do not think the emperor will permit me
to make a statement Have we not al
ready adopted a line of conduct in the
matter? We have done so twice. First
our ambassador to France declared that
he had had nothing to do with the af-
fair. Then Count Won Bulow German
minister of foreign affairs) confirmed
the statement plainly and distinctly in
the Reichstag What was the result?
One stuck to ones opinion. What good
can be done by furthsr assurance
that could have no other result?" At
noon to-day Colonel Schwartzkoppen
said he had not received any commune
cation from Rennes, Paris or German
sources. The semi official press consd-
ers that Maitre Labori showed want of
tact in personally applying to Emperor
William. The German foreign office
will await the arrival of the French
communication through the ordinary
diplomatic channels before taking any
step.

EGGS SCARCE IN NEW YORK.
Hens in the East Refuse to Lay and There Is Prospect of an
 Egg Famine

New York, March 6.-Eggs are scarce and growing scarcer. The man who eats them for his breakfast these Lenten mornings must pay for them at the rate of 3 cents apiece and run the risk of getting last years lime-pre- served product at that. The hens re- fuse to lay, and the dealers are much disturbed at the prospect of an egg famine. At this time of year they can get good enough price when the sup ply of eggs is normal.
 The dealers can give no explanation for the scarcity except to say that the recent ccld weather has affected the hens, and the people must wait until the hens have thaWed out. They say that the best fresh eggs are selling for $ cents and in some parts of New York for 38 cents. These prices are about the highest that have been paid for eggs in New York for some time.

THE zUNI SCARE OVER.
Dr. Knapp of Albuquerque Returns From His Trip, Having Stayed the
 Smallpox Scourge.

pr. Knapp, who was sent to the Zuni settlements on the Arizona border to fight the small pox scoUrge which threatened to annihilate the entire pueblo, has returned to Santa Fe leav- ing the Indians in very good shape and further fear of small pOx removed says the Albuquerque Citizen. The doctor would of cOudse, have been un- able to carry out any effective meas ures had he not been given special au- thOritY, as the Indians were disposed to fight any measures taken to stop the disease for they are fatalists and will not do the first thing to avoid cOntagiOn. The doctor was made 2 deputy United States marshal by Mar shal Foraker, the governor delegated him special authority, and in addition he received further powers from Wash ington. So he went fixed for business. As he expected, the Zunis proposed to resist this ''unWarrantable interfer- ence' in their private affairs, and at the outset the doctor was compelled to resort to a show of force. But when the Zunis found that the doctor was a government and territorial official. as we'll as medicine man" and could call any amount of assistance to carry out his orders, the Indians gave in, and after that there was no trouble. The usual precautions and quarantning were put into force, no one was per mitted to enter or leave the pueblo for or from Gallup or adjoining towns, and by a liberal use of disinfectants and a severe quarantine system, the disease was so far stamped out that the plague is practically stayed. and only per haps a dozen or more deaths may be 6XOectp1 at the fart hfreSt
 The population involved was 1,80O souls, and there were 600 cases, of which 233 died. This makes a big hole in the Zuni tribe, and they will have to be watched in the future to prevent further ravages of the disease

NEW PACIFIC MAIL SHIPS.
They Will Be the Largest American
 Built Vessels Afloat.

Newport News, Va, March 6-The general dimensions of the two large Pacific mail liners, the contracts for which have been awarded to the New port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company are given out semi-oficially as follows: Length, $50 feet; beam, 63 feet; draught, 31.5 feet; ground depth, 40 feet; displacement, 1S,500 tOnS and speed IS knots.
 Both ships will be luxuriOusly fitted out for passenger service, and in addi- tion will have superior facilities for handling freight and the United States mails. While the contract speed is put down as eighteen knots. it is known here that the builders will endeavor to give the vessels higher rate of speed than that. The Pacific Mail, it is un- derstood, has contracts with the gov ernment to reduce the mail passage Oe- tween San Francisco and ports in China, and it is with this object i'll view that the two leviathans will be built here. It is reported that the fastest time now between the two coun- tries will be reduced by from twelve to eighteen hours
 When finished these ships will be the largest ever built at an American ship yard. Compared with the American liner St. Louis, the largest American built ship afloat today. the Pacific Mail ships will be of 7,S70.79 tons greater displacement, 145 feet longer, and will have a draught AZ feet greater The beams of the two ships are the same.
 When the vessels are completed they will rank third in displacement among the notable big ships afloat The Oceanic, now building in England, will have a displacement of 2S,500 tons The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse has fu displacement of 20,0C0 tons The Pa cific Mail ships will rank next with 1S,500 tons. The Campania, though her general dimensions are larger, has only 18.000 tons displacement.
 A large electric cantilever crane, 750 feet in length, is now being constructed in the north end of the shipyard, and under this, one on each side, the Pacific Mail leviathans will be built
