OTTAWA, Ont, April 28.-Over five
square miles of territory burned over,
more than 1850 buildings destroyed,
seven lives lost, several thousand men,
women and children homeless, and
property loss of $17, 900, 600 according to
the latest estimates, insured for about
half its value, are the results. as viewed
Of the destructive fire which swept this
city and Hull. Although under control
for many hours the flames were not en-.
tirely extinguished until about noon.
The dead are Miss Minnie Cook, aged
II years; John Pumple, car repairer;
George Peeley, shoemaker; John Dare,
fireman; unknown man, Mrs. Carron,
and A. Baudin, years old.
A relief committee has been formed
by the citizens and this, together with

things about the sad scene was that no
smoke was to be seen. There were no

fire touched was burned to ashes. All
Of Hull's principal buildings, with the
exception Of the Catholic church, were
wiped out.

DEWEY AT CHICAGO
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION GIVEN
Vim AT CHICAGO.

Crowds Fill the Depot Almost to suffoca-
ton and jam the Adjoining Streets.
Admiral Puts in a Busy Day and Winds
Up With Naval. Military and Civic
Ball at the Au litorium.
CHICAGO, May 1.-Admiral Dewey's
train arrived at the Grand Central de-
pot six minutes ahead of schedule time.
A strong platoon Of police had been sta
toned at the platform gates some time
before the arrival Of the special, and the
immense crowd which had congregated
in the streets surrounding the station
and had packed almost to suffocation
the big depot building itself was not
allowed to 90 inside the train shed,
however, and when the white-mous-
tached naval hero was seen a huge
cheer went up from the fortunate ones
inside the station and was quickly
taken up by the thousands in the
streets.
Escorted by the members Of the gen.
eral executive committee Admiral
Dewey and Lieutenants Caldwell and
Crawford proceeded down the long
platform and mounted the steps lead
ing to the driveway where carriages
were in waiting. Even under the Wig
orous pressure Of the police the immense
crowd would hardly yield enough room
for the carriages, but cheered contin-
ually and pressed closer. The police
finally succeeded in clearing the street
and the party proceeded down Harrison
street, en- route for the Auditorium An
mex, where apartments overlooking
Lake Michigan had been reserved.
Streets Packed With People.
The route to the Annex lay along
Fifth avenue to jackson boulevard,
thence down Michigan avenue to the
hotel.
Along those streets for hours before
the arrival of Admiral Dewey were
gathered crowds that literally packed
the sidewalks and that kept the police:
busy from filling the streets also, and
the cheering started and swept along
the streets as the admiral and his party
were slowly driven to their apartments,
the applause being almost without ces-
sation until the admiral entered the
hotel.
Arriving at the hotel Admiral Dewey
proceeded at once to- his apartments
where, however, he was allowed to rest
but briefly, tor at 1880 he was escorted
to an informal breakfast given the ad-
;s=..iiral and Mrs. Dewey by the members
Of the women's reception committee.
At $50 p. III. the admiral was given a
reception by the Canadian American
association, which presented all invita-
ton to him to visit Canada at his pleas
ure.
The evenings programme included
al illumination Of the lake front at 1880
p. M, reception to committee mem
bers at the Auditorium at D. M, and
the naval. military and civic ball in the
Auditorium at 10 ?. m. at which fully
2,OO0 people were present.

REMAINS UNANSWERED.

No Reply From Turkey to the Note of the
American Charge d'Affaires.
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Saturday, April
28.-The porte has not yet replied to the
note handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turk
ish foreign minister, by the United
States charge d'afTaires, Mr.. Lloyd
Griscom, regarding the indemnity claim
and the situation is unchanged: 1t is
believed in some quarters that q settle
ment will yet be made by means Of some
arrangement with private American
contractors, concealing the actual pay
ment and relieving the Ottoman gov
eminent from admitting responsibility
for the losses occasioned at the time of
the massacre.
It is not considered here that simple
rupture Of diplomatic relations will
render the porte easier to deal with; but
a rupture of formal relations is not
thought necessary, as the sending Of a
warship to Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain a settlement of the mat
ter in less than a hours.
The same proposition for settlement
Of the indemnity question by an order
for a warship in the price of which the
indemnity should be included was for
merly made to France and Italy, but NJ
Constans and Signor Panza rejected the
proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and com
ments upon the attitude of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation at

IA ZINC TELEPHONES

Owing to recent decision of the
Supreme court of Iowait is necessary
to enact some legislation for the pur-
pose of taxing telegraph and tele-
phone companies in the state other
than that now in vogue. Several
bills have already been prepared, but
the clearest and best one yet devised
was gotten up and introduced by
Senator Blanchard. 1t provides for
ascertaining the value of the en-
tire plant in the state, and distribut-
ing that valuation to the several
counties and municipalities through
which the lines run, in a manner
similar to that by which railroads are
assessed. When telephone or tele-
gragh company has paid to the cities,
towns and counties, and to the state
of Iowa, the same rate of tax upon
all of their property which other per-
sons pay upon theirs they have done
all that they should be required to do
in the matter of taxation. This the
Blanchard bill will accomplish.

We believe Attorney General
Remley leaped before he thought
when he delivered his TRADE against
Iowa Insurance companies and Build
ing & Loan Association. There may be
some questionable methods persued
by some of these concerns and il so
he should have pointed out these de-
fects and not punched all this class
of business together and intima mated
that the whole thing was rotten. Un-
less certain ones are specified, the in
definite attack delivered hits all alike.
His declarations already have hurt
Iowa associations to the advantage
of eastern concerns, and being so
sweepting have done no good.
