| An alarm of fire was sounded about
1870 yesterday morning for a blaze on
North Elm street. The fire was in a
small building used as a shop in the
rear Of Benjamin Church's house. The
first alarm was sounded by the gong at
Simpson, Hall & Miler's shop. When
the fire was discovered the flames had
nearly enveloped the building. The
Hubbard Hose company responded, but
was so delayed by the snow that the
building had been nearly destroyed be-
fore the fremen arrived on the scene.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, al
though it is thought that it might have
been caught from a fire which had
been left burning in a stove in the shop.
MIR. Church says that when he left the
shop al 1890 Saturday evening he left
the store as usual.
The damage done amounts to about
5000. The building and contents were
insured for 5000 in John A. Martin S
agency.
The snow storm which struck here
early Saturday afternoon started in as
though 1t meant business, and contin-
ued through the evening in such force
as to keep the many usual Saturday
evening shoppers indoors and in con-
sequence the merchants and clerks had
an easy time.

benign legislation. But what would
these ancient legislators think after

thousand pages of legislation in the for
ty-five states-all of it less than two

ENGLISH CRITICISM
OF our Chinese Policy May Re Taken for
What Il Is Worth.

London. Nov N-Tho London morning
papers are again agitated concerning the
stability Of the concert OF powers III
China. The attitudes of Germany and the
n!ted States meet with disapproval, the
former because Count Won Waidersee has
sent a column 70 destroy the Ming tombs,
an act which is regarded needlessly
vindictive. and the latter because II
threatens to break up the concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments strongly
upon the American attitude as q feeble
compromise which II is Impossible to &C

the Morning Post says: 1T would be
unreasonable Tor the United States to
break IN the concert because they do not
desire indemnity. The powers would
probably be willing to consider America $
objections. II. however. the United
States have in view some new combina-
ton of the powers, IL would be necessary
for Great Britain and Germany to agree
upon a common policy to be pursued IN
