Scene of Ruin.
The action of the tremendous ca
tastrophe was more vivid and awful
than the city has seen for long time.
Buildings fell i'm on themselves or top
thrown yards away. smashing through
great walls. whole structures fell into
the streets on piles so tina, the line of
thoroughfare could not be marked out,
huge splinters Of iron. steel and wood
were flung into the streets and into the

property for blocks in every direction
were wrecked and damaged. There are
IS persons reported missing and 100
men, women and children are on the
list of he injured. Chief Croker said
that no fremen had persisted in the fire,
all his men having been accounted for.
Origin of the Fire.
OF the origin of the fire no exact in
formation is yet to be had. The flames
were first seen on the third or fourth
floor of the building at the northwest
corner of Warren and Greenwich
streets. occupied by Tarrant & Co. 1t
is possible that the fire resulted from
imperfect insulation of electric light
wires, but it is the opinion Of Fire Chief
Croker and Commissioner Scannell tina,
carelessness among chemicals was the
cause of the fire. Although the city
regulations against the storing Of
chemicals are Of the strictest kind
Commissioner Scannell made the spe
citic charge that Tarrant & Co. had paie
no heed to the law and had placed ir
storage chemicals and explosives fan
exceeding the legal limit.

southern Wheat Growers Arranging e

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 7.-Repre-
sentatives of Gulf grain shippers arrived
here today and began preliminary ar
rangements for the shipment to Europe
through Southern ports of Kansas, Okla
homa and Indian Territory wheat. A
committee from the boards of trade of
New Orleans and Galveston, accompani-
ed by the state grain inspectors Of Louis
lana and Texas, made up the party,
which later conferred with grain inspect
ors of Missouri and Kansas The con-
ference will adopt a standard of grad
ing the new wheat, and the movement
will begin as soon as the classification
has been decided upon.
George S. Stratton, of New Orleans and
Hamburg, a member of the party, said:
THE crop of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory is particularly heavy
this year, and the quality of the wheat
is particularly fine. The crop in other
sections of the country is poor, and ex-
porters are anxious to get hold of the
Kansas crop. This demand will make
good price. 1t will create an immense
amount of business in Kansas City, as
well as in the Southern ports, and the
result will be of great benefit to both"

Laws They Are Still Foreigners.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. Judge B.
D. Munroe, first assistant attorney gen
eral today issued an opinion in answer to
an inquiry by j.. M. Chamberlain Jr.,
editor of the Lebanon Leader. who ast1s
whether Miguel Panellas, a native Porto
Rican, who has resided in Leban one
year. has a right to vote.
Judge Munroe holds that Panellas Is not
entitled to vote; that, inasmuch as the
treaty of peace with Spain provided that
the question of the civil and political
rights of Porto Ricans who did not be-
come citizens of Spain within a year shah
be left to congress to determine, and
congress not having taken action upon
the matter, the Porto Ricans are still
aliens in the true sense of the word, and
that they are still regarded as foreigners
within the meaning of our naturaliza ton
hWS.
