New York-The increase in the fire
loss of this country and Canada has
been abnormal. The record shows a
total loss of 1923, $4,000 for the first
six months of the year 1900, as against
$65, 699, $50 for the same period of 1899.
The great difference between 1900 and
1899 and 1898 is shown. The losses for
the first six months of 1898 were $58,
977,1OO; of 1899, $65, ESQ, and of
1900, $12S,199,9OO.
The heaviest loss this year was the
Ottawa-Hull conflagration, amounting
to $12,000,000, and the next in point OF
destruction of value, though taking
precedence as to loss of life, was the
Hoboken disaster of last Saturday
The Standard Oil fire is, of course

Long and Gage. The cabinet council last
ed for some time and the Chinese situation
was thoroughly discussed. In all probable
ity the president will come home within
the next two or three days to remain day
or two. There is reason to believe that
5000 or 10000 troops will be gotten to-
gether as rapidly as possible and hurried
to China. Some of these probably will be
taken from Cuba. If the situation requires
more men congress will have TO be called
together to provide for them.
