Bloomington, ILL.,, June 20-Fire has
swept the business portion of the city and
entailed a loss estimated at over million
dollars. Word was sent to Peoria and
Springfield to send engines. As every eff
fort to check hte flames proved futile the
blowing up of buildings with dynamite
was resorted to after the fire had ragged
three and half hours A strong east
wind made the work of the fremen ex-
tremely difficult. The burned district in
cluded some of the handsomest buildings
in the city.
One death resulted from the fire. Robt.
Schmitt, 10 years of age, died from the
shock occasioned by the noise OF the explo-
sion of dynamite, which was used by the
firemen in blowing up buildings to stay the
progress of the flames. The fire depart
ment was badly handicapped by an almost
total failure of the water supply. The fire
started in the Model laundry, on Monroe
street, in the block east of the courthouse.

1t is said that the operations of the
Boxers are rolling up a heavy bill of
damages against the Chinese government
and that this will be the subject of a
strong demand for indemnity by the Unit
ed States as soon as order is restored in
China. 1t is held 1Aat under the terms
of our treaty with China, not only are
American missionaries entitled to the pro-
lection of the Chinese government, but
even their native converts. According to
the doctrine that we have laid down in
the case of the Turkish missionary claims,
the Chinese government can be held re-
sponsible for outrages committed against
American citizens, even in times of riot
ing, if the government troops or its
agents fail to respond to the call or par
ticipate themselves in the rioting. This il
