FIRE AT THE TREASURY
SOME OF AUDITOR YOUNGBLOOD'S
SUPPLIES DESTROYED.
Origin Not knOwn-ArEument for a
Several Hundred Dollars.

Fire was discovered about noon today in
a room used for stores and stationery in
the Treasury Department. The room is
No. 60, on the third floor, adjoining that Of
Mr.. Kimball, superintendent of the life
saving service, and contained stores belong
ing to the office of Mr.. Youngblooo. auditor
for the Interior Department 1t had not
been opened for some time, and the origin
of the fire is not known, but is supposed
to have been either from spontaneous COM
bustion or a defective fiue.
When the fire was discovered the treasury
clerks quickly manned the fire hose hang
ing in the hallway and turned a stream into
the room of blazing papers. An alarm Of
fire likewise turned in, and when the
tiremen arrivou they took charge of the
hose. The blaze WAS quickly put out but
not until a great deal of water mad been
put in the room The water flooded the ad-
joining Railways and rooms and did some
damage in the rooms below. The total loss
viii not exceed $500 or $400.
There was something of commotion
among the treasury employees for awhile
but as the fire soon put out the com
motion subsidized.
1Ou couldnt have a much plainer oh
ject lesson than this, as all argument for
4 hall of records, said an employe of the
department shortly after the fire as he sur
veyed the water which came down in a del
uSe IN the southeastern corner of the
structure. IF that fire had started at the
right point he continued, 'it would have
cost the government good many thou
sands of dollars to replace the records de-
stroyed and some of them could never have
been duplicated. There is never the slight
est danger of a fire in this building in any
place outside of the file rooms, and why
some persons are shortsiehted enough to
want them kept here in the building when
they should be in strictly fire-proof build
ing by themselves is more than any of us
can see. Besides there is the additional
room which we could utilize to advantage
if the files were removed to some pIace
of safety. few more blaZes such as this
one, will do more in the way of argument
for the new hall of records than all the
contentious that can be put forth by it's

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.
Auditor Lawshe Reports the Results
of His ImXestiEatiOna.

Auditor LaWshe Reports the Results
of His Investigations.
The report Of Special Auditor Lawshe,
who was sent to Cuba by the Secretary Of
War to make a supplementary investigation
into the Cuban postal frauds, has been
received at the War Department. It was
made direct to Secretary Root. and 1t was
announced in the adjutant generals office
today that 1t will not be made public.
General Corbin when asked as to the pros
pect Of the report being given out replied:
1T will not be given out. 1t Is confden-
tial report made to the Secretary of War
for his own information. A document of
this sort that is prepared to enable him
to properly administer affairs I'm the is
land is not matter for the public, and 1t
will not be given to the press.
There is another report of Auditor Law
she which may be given out, however. 1t
is to be made to the committee on Cuban
affairs of which Senator Platt of Connec-
ticut is chairman 1t was report for which
a special demand was made by the Senate
committee, and the prospect is that when
II gets to the Capitol either the text
the substance will be given to the press.
Both Of the Lawshe reports are voluminous
affairs They cover practically the same
ground as that of Mr.. BriStow, fourth as
sistant postmaster general, but are even
more in detail and it is said that being
drawn on strict Treasury Department lines,
the list of items for dfsallowance Is even
larger than that drawn up by Mr.. Bristow

AN ENERGETIC SESSION.
What Senator Frye Says of the Com
ing COnSsess.


Senator Frye, president pro TEN. of the
Senate was at the Capitol today. having
returned to Washington last evening.
He WIS deprived of his usual fishing this
year or account of the demands upon his
time made by the campaign, and there are
some folks out in the west who probably
wish he had fished more and campaigned
less, but he looks remarkably well, ana says
he is feeling well.
1t was great campaign all around .
he said. "and pretty well prolonged for me,
because of the early election in Maine.
was in the campaign from about the 10th
of August: that's what broke up my fishing
for this year. It was very interesting
campaign. Senator Hanna and l had a
great time out west especially in Nebraska
and South Dakota. No: was not sur
prised at the result in silose states. After
seeing what we did of the sentiment there
we expected to carry boih states"
The senator said that the three fighting
measures of the session would be the
shipping bill, the army bin and the Mic
araguaE canal bill.
Il reached the city only last night and
have n>t talked with many people yet and
can't say much about the program: but
think t is going to be an energetic ses-
sion of Congress this winter. do not know
just what the disposition of the minority
will be. but l should MT think they would
Dc uHi-dSoidDe L see 10 reason why
things should not go on smoothly. or
course we shall pass the usual appropria-
tion bills and there is the usual lot
or matters to claim consideration. l
am desirons that the shipping bill
should be passed. 7 hope to have
the bill before tine Senate at an
early day, and if vote ctn be had 1t Will
pass. The Nicaragua bill and the army
bill Will. think, be passed. I do not know
whether the Panama people are going to
make fight on the Mica ragua bill, but the
report of the commission will have an in
luence upon the situation, and / do not
suppose it is yet known what the report
is, though there has Deen some speculation
in the newspapers on the subject.
You cannot tell just what can be done
until you know what opposition has to be
met but we ought to be able to pass these
three important measures in addition to
the ordinary work of fhc session.

JRpan's Proposed Monument to Her
Murdered Diplomat.

1t is understood that the ministers at
Pekin have not included in their prelimi-
nary agreement the proposition of Japan
that monument be erected by China to
the memory of the Japanese chancellor of
legation, who was killed at Pekin during
the early stages of the troubles The idea
of Japan appears to have been to have a
special Chinese envoy appointed TO convey
an official expression of China's regret over
this incident and also suitable memorial
for the deceased. While there was no OBJ
lection to the proposition itself. il seems to
have come so late in the ,ieIiiDera tons that
it deemed advisable not TO include it

THE CANAL ON THE ISTHMUS
HAY AND THE PANAMA'S
PRESIDENT CONFER.
Report of the Walker Commission Not
Yet Compieted-IntentiO of
the Administrations.

Presiue Hutin of the Panama Canal
Company called, by appointment. upon Sec
retar Hay today and had long talk with
him touching the prospects of the Panama
canal as affected by the probable legisia-
ton of the approaching Congress. The
Panama Company has Yet made no oiii-
Cial tender of the property TO the State De
partment.
Panama C0mpnny'S Statement.
1t has, however presented to the 18th
mia1 canal commission. of which Adlr!rH!
Walker is president. a full statement of the
affairs of the company and the conditions
upon which it might b. willing to pass con-
troll of its property 10 the United States
government, in the event that the Panama
should be chos n in preference to the Mic
aragua route. The mmiSSion will include
Mr.. Hutin's communication in its repo.'i
that Congress viii have before it ma
teriai for exercising d choice of its own d.,
between III" NicaraGuan and the Panama
routes 1t - probable. however. that before
The latter can be taken under serious con
Sideration mere definite proposition az 70
the exact terms under which the Panama
Company's rights could be acquired by this
United States will be required.
The canal commission is making a siren
uOus effort to finish its preliminary report.
which. according to promise was to be de-
liverei to II President today 1t is now
said thlt the document will be sent to Con
gress as an accompaniment of the Presi-
dents message, and that meanwhile it VIII
probably not be made public.
Intention of the Administrations.
Il is evidently the intention of the admin
istration to press canal legislation upon
Congress earnestly and speedily from the
very beginning of the session. 1t is eX
pected that long before final action can be
had in the Senate upon the pending House
bill providing for the construction of the
Nicaragua canal the executive branch of
the government viii! have succeeded in re-
moving certain obstacles which now lie in
the course of the pending HayPauncefote
treaty, and after this latter convention is
ratified the administration influence can be
properly east in favor of the pending bill.
There have been several conferences of
late between Secretary Hay on one side and
Senors C0rea and Calvo, the ministers for
Nicaragua and Costa Rica respectively,
and ii is believed that by way of antici-
pating action upon the Hay-Paunce-
fCtr treaty the bases have already
been laid for the treaties with the two
isthmian republics which would be neces-
Sary to give effect to the canal bill and
to secure for the United States the eXclu-
sive right for the canal construction.
