BIG TANKS BLOWN UP.
Thousands OF Gallons of blazing varnish
Hurled skyward.

New York, May 7.-Explosion after
explosion followed the breaking out Of
fire in the extensive Standard warm
ish works at Elm Park, Staten island,
shortly after midnight this morning
Vast tanks of varnish were blown to
pieces, and the blazing material,
hurled high into the air, made pyro-
technic display that was wonderful to
behold. The damage was S150,00O.
After a hard fight of four hours the
fremen saved the main plant Of the
works.
The flames started from an unknown
cause. There was an explosion that
shook buildings for radius Of mile.
The flames spread rapidly. Fire en-
gines from Port Richmond were soon
on the scene, and a general alarm was
sent in, calling all Of the apparatus
from the north shore of Staten island.
Within an hour four of the big tanks
bad blown up. Each of these tanks
contained 5,v., gallons OF material.
T.e tiremen were driven back again
and again, but kept up their efforts to
save the buildings Of the plant. These
are of brick, one-story high and cover
several acres.
Fire tugs from the Standard oil
works at Bayonne were early ordered
to the scene, but they could not ap'
proach the main blaze, and they were
compelled to confine their efforts tc
keeping burning oils from floating
down the slips to points where ship:
and boats were tied up.
Time and again the oils were carried
| to the tugs, which had to turn theil
| hose upon each other to save them
selves. To have let the fire escape
down the slips would have not onl,
endangered the docks and boats alon2
the Staten island shore, but under thu
influence of the current the blaz'
might have been carried across thu
coal docks and oil works in Bayonne.
Eight of the new tanks blew VI
| within two hours. Each explosion
threw the burning contents in ever!
direction and repeatedly endangered
the lives OF the firemen and sent tn,
fire among the buildings.
The flames upon the water finall,
communicated to and destroyed thu
docks and some OF the smaller build
ings out near the waters edge in TIL
vicinity of the varnish works.

Victoria, B. c., May 7.-Sandon, a
British Columbia mining town, was all
but obliterated by fire. The big Reco
hotel and the Canadian Pacific rail-
road station were among the first
buildings to go, and then, famed by
a strong wind, the fire climbed up the
hills to the residence portion Of the
town. Sandon, the destroyed town, is
situated twenty miles from Kaslo. 1t
is the terminus of the Nakusp & Slo-
can railway, and has population Of
1000 people. The big silver mines at
Sandon are reported to have lost their
offices and plants by the fire.

FIRE MEMORIAL is DEDICATED


Chapel Marks the Site of the BAZAAR
Disaster la Paris.
Paris, May 5.-The chapel on the
Rue Jean Goujon, built in memory Of
the victims of the charity bazaar fire,
was dedicated this morning by Card
inal Richard, archbishop of Paris. The
ceremony was deeply impressivee. Just
two years ago today the terrible fire
broke out in the crowded bazaar, caus-
ing one Of the most terrible tragedies
Paris has ever known. On the spot
where the catastrophe took place now
stands handsome little chapel, whose
dome Is surmounted by golden
statue of st. John. The building only
holds between 800 and 400 persons.
Thus very few were admitted this
morning. The family Of each victim
Of the fire received two tickets. Sew
eral hundreds of people waited in the
narrow street to see the heavily yelled
mourners enter the little echapel. The
mourners were followed by nuns. who
took the places during the service OF
those who had been praying in the
chapel since early morning.

Surplus of Mexican Dollars in the
Treasury.

Washington, d. c., May Gov.
Leary has sent to the navy department
another of his characteristic official
reports about affairs in Guam, includ-
ing the results of a. thorough census
taken under his direction and finan-
cial statement of the first six months
of his administration, which shows a
gratifying and growing surplus of
Mexican dollars in the island treasury.
American money has not yet entered
into circulation in Guam, and the fig
ures in the balance sheet represent the
silver currency left there by the Span
iards. The amount in the treasury on
July /, 1899, was $2,17l. The receipts
from July to Jan. last were 9,4l5,
and the expenditures for the same pc
riod were S3,767, leaving in the treas
ury on Jan. /, 1900, $4,S19. The receipts
will not be so large for the remainder
of the fiscal year, as the tax on mar
rage licenses will not be so produc-
tive, but the expenses will be proper
tionately reduced, as many OF the i'm
provements have been completed. The
governor reports that the evaporating
plant Is in excellent condition, but he
is still without an ice machine, with

gagged on the Typographical survey CT
the island, which would have been fin
ished in a few months. In fact, all
was well at Guam, and life there would
be perfect with a refrigeratlng plant
and a good library. Gov. Leary ex-
plains to the department that his re-
quest for library did not contemplate
a circulating affair for fiction. He
needed an encyclopedias set OF revised
statutes, some law books and other
reference works Indispensable to his
office. Some books OF this sort were
