left the dolphin promptly at noon. the
Texas and Dolphin firing salute of
seventeen guns. Meanwhile the band
played the Porto Rican Rational air
and the boats in the harbor kept up a
continuous whistling until the launch
reached the landing. Mr.. Allen ran
quickly up the stairs and the families
Of Gen. Davis and the new civil gov
ernor were introduced to each other.
A crowd of 5000 looked on but was
kept at distance. The police and

than 1900 buildings destroyed; seven
lives lost. several thousand men, wo-
men and children homeless and prop
erty loss of $17,00O,O0O, according to
latest estimates. insured for about
half it's value, are the results of the
destructive fire which swept this city
and Hull Thursday and Friday. AL
though under control for many hours.
the flames were not entirely ex-
tinguished until about noon yesterday.
A relief. committee has been formed
by the citizens of this, together with
the Catholic archbishops Of Ottawa
and Montreal, which will make an APP
most serious problem that confronts
householders who We're burned out
are poor and have large families. 1t
is not expected there will be employ
ment for a considerable period, and
the way in which many of the poor
are going to live in the meantime is
doubtful. On the Ottawa side fully
two-thirds of Dalhousie ward is de-
vastated. and an estimate by residents
of the district place the number who
are without houses OF their own in
this district at 5000. The destroyed
property in this district included some
Of the finest residences in Ottawa. as
well as a great many Of the humblest.
The fire area was viewed by hun
dreds of people yesterday afternoon
and evening. One of the most re-
markable things about the sad scene
was that no smoke was to be scene.
There was no haif-burned buildings
or smouldering logs anywhere. Ev-
erything that the fire touched was
burned to ashes. All of Hull's princi-
pal buildings. with the exception Of
the Catholic church. were wiped out.
The buildings destroyed are valued at
$2,7OO,O0O, and Of this over $1,OOO,0OO
may be put down as loss. Then in
stock. fixtures, equipment, household
effects and wearing apparel there is
less of nearly $3,O0O,OOO. The vast
piles Of lumber which went up in
smoke may be reckoned at $2OO0,OO0.

NATIONAL PARK IN MINNESOTA.
Bill Introduced for the Appointment
of Commission.

Washington, April %. - The house
committee on Indian affairs yesterday
directed a favorable report on the bill
providing for the creating of a com
mission to consider the establishment
Of national reserve or park of the
Leech Lake, Winnibigashish or Cass
Lake Indian reservations in Minnesota,
comprising about $4,000 acres. The
commission was fixed at three menu
bers from each branch of congress and
an appropriation OF $4,000 was al
lowed. The committee also reported
favcrably the bill allowing Indians IN
the Indian Territory to emigrate to
Mexico. the emigration to be under the
direction Of the secretary of the in
terror and in bands of 300. Mexico
gives the Indians an opportunity to re-
turn to their tribal relations and no.
madic habits. and they prefer this to
the restrictions now imposed upon
them, and also as a means OF avoid
ing the spread of tuberculosis or other
diseases which have decimated them
of late.
