DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Thirteen Business Blocks and a
Number of Residences Burned.

WEBSTER CITY 0a.). Feb. S.-Bel-
mond, town of over 1000 inhabitants
in Wright County, had a disastrous
confiagration to-day, the fire having
started at 1920 a. m. The thermo mom-
eter was 21 below zero, and a strong
wind was blowing. Little could be
done by the firemen to check the
flames, as the fire plugs were frozen
up. Many residents were driven from
their homes, some without sufficient
clothing to keep themselves warm. Ii
was useless to call for help to fight
the fire from neighboring towns, for
the water mains could not be thawed
out.
The flames started in the Union block,
occupied by the Iowa Valley Bank

about & o'clock this evening Thirteen

HAzELTON TRAGEDY.
State Department Declines to Rec
ogn1ze Austro-H Claim.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The State
department, after mature considera-
ton, has declined to recognize the
claim of the Austro-Hungarian Gcv-
ernnent for indemnity on account Of
the Hungarian strikers killed by Shei ifs
Martins posse at Hazelton, Pa, Sep
tember 10, 1897.
The departments action is based up
on special opinion prepared by So
ncltor w. l.. Penfield, covering the en-
tire field of national responsibility in
such cases of mob violence or rioting
Solicitor Penfield recites the evidence
which resulted in the acquittal of Sher-
iff Martin, and finds, in effect, that
the strikers were dsturbers of the
peace and violators of the law, and
that they brought destruction upon
themselves in refusing to- obey the law
ful command of the Sheriff to dispense.

GENERAL EAGAN.
Still Retains His Office at the Head
of the Commissary Department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-An interest
ing factor in connection with General
Eagan's suspension from the army was
developed to-day on inquiry at the War
Department. Although General Eagan
has been suspended without rank or
duty, he still remains Commissary, Gem
eral of the army, drawing the pay of
that office. and there is no way in
which he can be displaced until he is
retired. In this the army differs from
the navy. In that branch of the SER
vice such staff appointments are made
for term of four years at the end of
which time the incumbent may be
changed or reappointed.
In the army the appointment is for
the remaining term of service. General
Eagan is still in Washington and the
acting Commissary General, Colonel

vanced in price, and, too, to such an
extent that the consumers have suf-

true that where there is no local mill
