Small Fire.

About 1880 yesterday evening
the alarm of fire was sounded, and
after considerable excitement on
the streets, the fire was found to
be in small dwelling house be-
longing to Miss Maggie l.. Brown,
in the extension, on Ohio street.
The house was occupied by Con-
stable Jas. p. Monroe and family.
The fire was discovered in bed
room up stairs in the back part of
the house, and was caused by a
lighted match being thrown on the
floor by the occupant upon leav-
ing it.
A bed was burned, but no
serious damage done to the prop
erty.
Had it hot been for the timely
services of some few citizens in
the immediate neighborhood, a
bad fire would have ensued.
The fire company promptly re-
sponded to the call and had their
services been needed, would have
been equal to the occasion.

PEACE WITH CHINA.
Details Will Not Likely Be Com
pleted For MANY Months.

New York. Nov. 15.-The conclusion
seems to have been reached at Pelkin to
conclude peace with China without I'M
dertaking a present the complete revis-
ion of the treaties of commerce, says a
dispatch from Washington to the Jour
nal of Commerce.
A general article will be inserted in
the treaty of peace subscribed by the
powers, providing that China shall con-
sent to the revision of the treaties of
commerce, but shall deal with each
power separately. Whether the result
of these negotiations will be so satisfac-
tory as a general treaty, guaranteeing
to the citizens and subjects of all the
powers complete freedom of traffic in
the interior of China, remains to be
seen. 1t appears to be thought at the
state deparement and among some of
the ministers at Pekin, that difficulties
and delay would arise in seeking to deal
with desired changes in detail at pres
ent.
1t may be possible for the leading
powers to secure concessions regarding
interior trade which will drive the en-
tering wedge for like concessions to all.
Most of the powers are entitled to the
privileges of the most favored nation"
and will be able to ask for themselves
whatever is granted to any Of the 9TH
er powers. The fact that the Chinese
imperial government consents to the re-
vision Of the treaties as a general pro-
position is considered at Washington an

HAVE A SUSPECT.
Police Think They Hold the Assail-
ant of Mrs. Potter.

Chicago. Nov. 15.-Captain Schuettler
of the Sheffield Avenue police station,
has under arrest a man whom he sus-
poets not only of committing the assault
in the o. W. Potter residence early on
Tuesday morning, but also of having q
hand in another Lake Shore drive rob-
berry which thus far has not been made
public, but which is declared to be of
startling magnitude.
The suspect in the mysterious North
side house robbery and in the Potter
case is a prisoner at the Sheffield Avenue
station. He was arrested last evening
at Diversey boulevard and Lincoln ave
nue., after drawing a revolver and
threatening to shoot the detective who
made the capture. The man answers
the description of Mrs. Potters assail-
ant. When arrested he had in his pos
session two revolvers and a billy and
also q package containing a letter car
rier's uniform.
In regard to the other robbery, which
it is said will outshine the Potter affair,
the police absolutely refuse to divulge
anything. 1t is learned, however, that
a large house in the Sheffield Avenue
district was broken into last week and
much valuable property taken
