soon as possible a proper home for the
children shall be found. and if possible

YESTERDAYS FIRE.
The McGillivray Residences Were
Badly Damaged.

The alarm of fire yesterday after
noon at half-past 2 was caused by the
burning of the houses of Mrs. John
McGillivray, No. 2221 G street, and
James McGillivray, No. 2219 of the
same street.
There seemed to be some doubt as to
the origin of the fire. Some children,
however, stated that it started from
the overturning Of ruby lamp in a
dark room at Mrs. McGillivray's resi-
dence, while a negative was being de
veloped. The roof and upper stories
of the two houses were almost entirely
destroyed and the lower stories con-
siderably damaged by water. The fur
niture was all removed from the build
ings in time, and the damage to the
buildings is about $1,7OO, fully insured
The firemen suffered from lack Of
water and it was fifteen minutes after
the alarm before sufficient force was
secured Had there been a chemical
engine station up town the fire could
have been easily handled.

AMERICAN COLTS IN LONDON.
Thoroughbred YearlinRs, Bred by James d.
HaRgin, Bring Good Prices.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-The Bureau OF AMI
NAL Industry OF the Agricultural Department
has received the information from London
that the first lot Of thoroughbred yearling
colts from the United States was landed at
that port from the steamship Marquette on
June %. and was put up for sale on July IL.
These colts were bred by Mr.. James b. Haggin
Of Sacramento. In all. forty-two colts were
offered and readily found purchasers. Tho
best price obtained was for an exceedingly
handsome Goldfinch colt. Fleurette mare by
Glenelg. which, after some spirited bid ding,
was bought by Mr. ?. Gipin for 1850 guineas
Laoopt so,250I: At this sale, about, one-half
OF the consignment was disposed OF and
the total amount realized was .075 guineas. or
the very good average Of 121 Ruineas. On the
day following a second lot was disposed OF ami
1t was quickly taken. Forty-three were sold
for 300 guineas. or an average again ofi121
guineas.
The average price obtained for these colts
seems to be good one. and it is believed that
Mr. Haggin's venture will tempt more OF our
breeders OF thoroughbred animals to try the
British rkets. Among the lots submitted
at the second sale were twelve yearlings sired
principally by the Derby winner Iroquos. The
average price obtained for these was 1919
guneas.

Switzerland. to examine into the collision be-
tween the Dolphin and the ferryboat New

the pilot OF the New York and to his vacilatlnR
course OF action after sighting the Dolphin !:
that all proper means were adopted by the
Dolphin to avoid collision ard that no one on
board Of that vessel Is In any way culpable.

OF the stem was broken. about In line with the
spar deck. and bent to port the first frame on
both sides was bent and broken similarly to
the stem, and the adjacent plating was torn
and bent out OF shape. The injury extends

below the waterine. The forecastle railing
was carried away on both sides as far aft as the

pletad In three weeks, The cost will be about
