FIREPROOF, BUT IT BURNED
John Bulls Out-of- Dateness On Fire
Fighting Again Demonstrated,

London, April 1.-THE British metropo-
lis escaped a calamity today. which might
nave rivalled the horrors witnessed az the
destruction by fire recently Of the Wind
sor hotel, in New York City. Hyde Park
Court, Albert Gate, one of the finest and
most fashionable blocks of residential fats,
overlooking the famous Rotton Row,
caught fire at haf-past nine this morn
ing. The building. which is eleven stories
high, was built by the notorious Jabez
Spencer Balfour, the former member Of
parliament who was responsible for the
collapse Of the Liberator Building asso-
citation and other companies, by which
thousands Of people were ruined, and who
is now undergoing a sentence of fourteen
years penal servitude as a result of his
conviction on charges of fraud. 1t prac-
tically adjoins the house occupied by SIR
Herbert Naylor-Leyland, Bart, Liberal
member Of parliament for the Southport
division Of Lancashire, whose wife was
Ohio.
The fire broke out in the lower part of
the building and spread up the elevator
shaft with great rapidly. The flames in
volved the upper stories before their occu-
pants were aware of the danger When
the alarm was raised the affrighted SER
wants dropped from the top windows to a
veranda on the ninth story.
The defective arrangements of the Lon
don fire brigade were again demonstrated,
and even when the fire escapes reached
the scene, they were too short to reach the
people in the upper stories, who only es-
capped with the greatest difficulty, while
the residents of the lower stories streamed
out Of the building carrying what they
could of their belongings. The flames were
not under control until 1 o'clock, when
the upper part of the structure was gutted
1t is considered lucky that the fire occurred
in daylight, as otherwise it would have re-
suited in loss of life. All the floors were
supposed to be fireproof.
The investigation made into the cause
of the fire shows it to have been due to
the overheating of an. electric wire. Sew
eral of the occupantstof the building es-
capped in their nightdresses. A whole army
of iremen. under Commander Wells, was
engaged in subduing the flames. During
the con1agration the windows Of the
French embassy, which, overlooked the
scene, were crowded, and an immense
concourse of people watched the fire from
the streets. The property destroyed in
cluded quantity of jeWelry.

PARTITION The GROUP
Senatar Morgan's Solution of
the Samoan Problem.
THAT OR DETERMINATION
How the Bombardment Looks
From the German Side.

New York, April 17.-Senator John T.
Morgan Of Alabama, a leading member OF
the foreign relations committee when
asked for an expression on the Samoan
problem, said; There is but one perma-
nent solution of the Samoan question.
That is partition of the island by the
three great powers, which have by com
mon desire just formed a commission TO
reconcile the differences between them
selves and the native Samoans. In the
pending diplomacy on this question the
United States with grace and fairness can
take the initiative as she did several years
ago in the treaty arranged with MaHetoa.
England and Germany then lost no time
in following our example and in securing
the same recognition accorded 70 US. The
immediate purpose OF the three nations Is
to secure permanent coaling stations upon
the island. Once established, however.
these stations cannot be peaceably main
tanned under the existing condition of the
natives. Until completely subjected to the
control of the whites these savages will
be a constant menace. and bloodshed viii
follow. I am thoroughly impressed with
the Importance of partition, as 1 believe
that the immediate division of the islands
viii bring about the speedy solution of a
trouble that may terminate gradually with
the practical determination of the Samoan
race. The United States should have
coaling station at Page Page. And then,
with the long desired cable in the Pacific
reaching TO Honolulu and to Sidney. there
will be little to interfere with the spread
of civilization on the Samoan islands"
