/ SAN FRANCISCO, March 31-The
wholesale hardware house of Miller,
Sloss & Scott was almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire tonight, the total loss
being estimated at about S400 OU0
| The firm occupied a four-story and
basement brick building at Is and y
Fremont street, near Market, and car
ried one Of the largest and most vailed
stocks of fine hardware on the Pacific
Coast
| The origin of the fire is unknown. 1t
was first discovered in the top story,
and within a short time the whole
building was enveioped in flames. AL
most the entire fire department was
] called out, and succeeded in con.lning
the conf1agration to the structure in
which it originated. The labor of the
firemen was not unattended by danger,
for there were frequent explosions of
cartridges, which We're carried in large
quantities by Miller Sloss & Scott, but
no one was injured thereby.
The building was located in the heart
of the wholesale district, and for time
great alarm was felt lest the flames
should spread to other large establish
ments in the vicinity. The absence of
wind, however, aided the efforts of the
fire department, and after three hours
work they succeeded in subduing the
fire.
/ The stock of hardware on hand was
valued by its owners at half a million
dollars, and was insured for S2G0,0tp0.
The building, owned by w. S. Foy, was
worth about $4,000. 1t was almost a
total loss, as it will have to be rebuilt
before being again occupied. The loss
of Miller, Sloss & Scott is not far from
S3JO,OOO. The firm is Incorporated, ard
| it employed 12S men. It's President is
c. E. Miller, and the Directors are A
L. Scott, A w. Mulligan, Joseph Slo IS
and Leon Sloss. Other losses include
that of the adjacent Pacific Paper Box
factory, estimated at $1,000 and the
Hicks, Judd Company about $1,000.

NEW BATTLEsHIPs.
The Kentucky and Kearsarge Will
Soon be Completed.

NEWPORT NEWS (Va-), March 81
Secretary of the Navy Long and party
arrived here to-day for the purpose of
inspecting the plant of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany and the naval work that is now
under way at the yard.
The Secretary expressed himself as
particularly pleased with the appear
ance of the big battleships Kentucky
and Kearsarge, which are nearing COM
pletion and will be commissioned in a
few months. His examination into the
structure of these ships and the Illi-
nols as we'll, was thorough and minute.
The greater part of the day was spent
on them. ~
Inquiry was made by the Secretary
regarding the progress thus far made
on the battleship Missouri and the
monitor Arkansas, which are as yet
in the office" The keels of these fight
ing craft will be laid shortly.
Late this evening the dispatch boat
Dolphin steamed into the harbor and
proceeded with the party to Old Point,
where the night was spent.

FIRE UNDERWRITERS.
An Effort to Form an Insurance
Board at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31-An eff
fort is being made to form local In
surance Board, to be known as the San
Francisco Fire Insurance Exchange,
and to be in a great measure independ-
ent of the Board of Underwriters of
the Pacific.
The object of the exchange is to
handle all city and county business
separately, and to endeavor to har-
monize existing difficulties between the
so-called board and non board COM
panies. Of the latter there are eight,
sufficiently strong to make some OF the
board companies restless by their COM
petition.
The movement on foot has for one
of it's objects the curtailment of in
surance getters and so of the number
of rebaters and the checking of the
payment of commissions indiscrim-
inately. The impression is general that
rates will be reduced soon locally.

VOLUNTEERS IN PHILIPPINES.

They Can be Spared.
/ WASHINGTON, March 31.-It was
stated at the War Department to-day
that the provision of the army law al
lowing the retention in service for six
months Of the volunteers in the Phil
ippines has been construed to mean the
officers as we'll as the men, and that
the volunteer organizations would be
retained just as they now exist.
General Otis was given large pIenary
powers in the matter, but was instruct
ed by cable to send all sick and wound
ed home, as we'll as volunteers who
had exceptional reasons why they
should return home, such as the sup
port of families and the loss of prop
erty by reason of their absence. Cen
eral Otis will decide such questions on
their merits.
The volunteers in the Philippines will
not be mustered out until they can be
spared, and the presence there of these
organizations the War Department be-
lieves makes it unnecessary to organize
the provisional army of $4,000 allowed
under the army law
