Golden, Colo, Nov. 3.-Early Friday
morning fire broke out in the Golden
paper mills and the plant was entirely
destroyed. A large stock of paper
ready for shipment was also burned.
The plant was owned and operated by
Wells & Peppard and valued Mt about

near which was great quantity of
waste paper and other inf1ammable ma

through the plant and by the time the
alarm was given the fire was beyond
control. The Golden firemen responded
promptly and did magnificent work in
saving Senator Wells residence and the
Rock flour mills, both of which are To-
Gated in the same block. The large
warehouse near by was also saved.
This was the first mill erected in
Golden and has been one Of her most
profitable industries. Senator Wells
has been connected with these mills for
over thirty years. OF late years the
attention of the management has been
devoted to the manufacture of building
paper, and it was the only industry Of
the kind west of the Missouri river,
which gave these mills practical mo-

ENJOYS HARMONIZE
ON CHIEF POINTS

Pekin, Nov. 5.-The foreign ENJOYS
met again this morning and virtually
agreed as to the points of chief impor-
lance. 1t was decided to leave minor
differences for future discussion.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Minister Con-
gers last advices to the State Depart
ment indicate that satisfactory prog
ress IL being made by the ministerial
corps at Pekin, toward the arrange
ment Of a basis upon which negotia-
tons shall be had with the Chinese
government for final settlement. The
ministers have passed upon the ques-
ton Of punishments and also upon sew
eral other important points which are
to figure in the negotiations.
The Russian minister is understood
to be participating actively in the dis
cussions and the proceedings are har-
monious.
London, Nov. 5.-Dr Morrison, wir-
ing to the Times from Pekin, Nov. /.
says:
"The evidence in the PaO Ting Flu
trial to fix the responsibility for the
massacre showed that an American
lady, before execution, was led naked
through the streets and that her
breasts were cut of. The destruction
of two temples is not an adequate pun
ishment for such inhumanity."

! The coast and geodetic survey has
recently completed some very careful
leveling operations which show that
the surface of the Gulf OF Mexico lies
perceptibly higher than that of the At
lantic ocean. Btween the surface OF
the ocean at st. Augustine, on the east
ern snore of Florida, and the surface
of the gulf at Cedar Keys, on the west
ern shore. there is mean difference
In level of nine-tenths Of foot. This
is considered to be sufficient to account
for the outpouring current of the gulf
stream, which in the narrower part OF
the Strait Of Florida touches bottom.
The surplus Of water which raises the
gulf above the level Of the ocean 10

catan channel. being driven in by the

committee Of men and boys captured a
Dowie elder, Mark Loblaw Of Chicago,
accompanied by woman, presumably
his wife, here about noon to-day. E. H.
Leiby, local Dowieite, who was with
them, was chased to swamp and
made his escape. Loblaw and the wo-
man were taken to the Erie depot and
after being held there for two hours
were compelled to buy tickets for the
next town.
Meantime another elder, who refused
to give his name, was also brought in
by citizen and depOrted on the same
train. Both men were kicked and
cuffed by the crowd, which numbered
several hundred, before the train ar
rived. While the unknown elder en-
deavored to make speech from the
rear platform Of the train he was pelt-
ed with stones and gravel.

to cause a panic. The engines were

that during that time the whirling ma

One Of the engineers of the st. Paul

$3.50, 600 to 100000. The starboard en-
CINE Is a wreck. The ship did not
strike a derelict, but an unusually big
sea struck her, throwing her stern ont

no resistance, made frightfully rapid
revolutions, which caused the star

DIRE PREDICTIONS
FOR GREAT BRITAIN

London, Nov. 5.-The reconstruction
Of the British cabinet and the climax OF
rowdyfsm/ which marked the home
coming Of the City Imperial volunteers
were the topics of the week. The seri-
ous weeklIes frankly almit the shame
fulness OF last Monday nights mob
rule, for which the return Of the City
Imperial volunteers from South Africa
was the excuse. The Speaker declares
the degrading Influences Of the last
twelve months have left neither self
control nor self-respect In the populace,

and passion"
As an appropriate conjunction Of this
self-analySis and confession of at least
temporary degeneracy, the National Re-
view publishes striking articles forcibly
pointing out Great Britain's dire need
Of political and economic recOnstruc
tion, the inadequacy Of both the navy
and army, rs mt present organized, to
meet possible and even probable efner-
gencles, and the inability Of the coun-
try to cope with sudden invasion.
These come from the pens Of English
authorities which are neither historical
nor ignorant. George J. Goschen, the

Germans, and the British feet In the
Mediterranean Is asserted to be far
below the necessary strength, without
coal stores and basis, while the home
dock yards are congested with reserve
ships that cannot be kept in order,
and an effective mobilization at short
notice is out OF the question. Captain
Cairnes with convincing detail, exposes
how comparatively easy 1t would be
for France to land several hundred
thousand men in England blasting his
belief on the landing Of American
troops near Santiago and marching
them into London before the whole mo-
bilization scheme could be put in ac-
ton.
Throughout these articles there is the
evident conviction that Great Britain
must soon fight one Of the great pow

ready overlies the land, which Ia not

PROF. SChURMANN ANSWERS
SENIOR AGUINALDO'S AGENT

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 5.-Prof. Jacob
q. Schurmann, who passed through
this afternoon en- route from the west
to Ithaca, furnishes the following re-
ply to an open lteter addressed to him
by SixtO Lopez, an agent Of Aguinaldo:
"Mr. SixtO LOpez's open letter of the

rations, confirms all have said of the
promising educational possibilities In
the Philippines and Of the admirable
character OF the educated Filpinos,
few though they are, who may be
taken as type of the promise of the
future. Nor does Mr.. Lopez deny that
the masses Of the inhabitants Of the
Philippine islands of all tribes and
races, are uneducated and ignorant.
Furthermore, by silent acquiescence
In the report of our committee, Mr.. Lo-
peg acknowledges that the majority of
the FilipinOs either desire American
sovereignty, as IL the case with the
men of education and property, or &C.
Qulesce in 1t, or are Indifferent to 1t,
and that the demand for Independence
originated with the ambitious Tagalog
insurgent leaders, who have diffused 1t
with fire and sword, aided by atrocious
Misrepresentation of the aims and
purposes of the United States,
Lastly, Mr.. Lopez does not question
the finding of our commission, that the
inhabitants Of the Philippine islands
are marked with great racial and tribal
differences, by immense varieties Of So
cial conditions which range all the way
from the civilization of Manila, down
through all phases of barbarism to the
naked savage of Mindanao and north
ern Luzon, by a bewildering multiple

The international Railway Surgeons
convention recently approved certain
hygienic suggestions made by DR.. ]. N.
HURRY, and 1t is said that two of the
western railroads have already agreed
to carry them out. They call for the
removal from passenger cars Of plush
coverings, carpets. boxes over steam
pipes, carved work, Stat blinds and all
other materials, fittings and ornaments
that are likely to catch or disseminate
disease germs. Doctor Hurby said I'M
pleasant things, too. about the tin
drinking cups used by everybody, and
advocated providing individual paper
cups. or course. he did not fall to give
4 thrust at the yentilating appliances.
In all these matters there is room for
Improvement, and doubtless travellers
by railway would willingly dispense
with plush and gingerbread work In
favor Of clean, airy. wholesome cars.
Preliminary work has begun on a
great bridge to span the St Lawrence
at Quebec. At least two years will be
occupied in its construction. and its
cost will probably reach four million
dollars. When completed 1t will be a
notable triumph of engineering, with
a cantilever span more than a third
of a mile long. Its commercial advan-
tages in bringing the maritime prov
iuces nearer to Quebec will be quite
a. notable az Its political effect In
binding together more closely the
members Of the Canadian confedera-
ton.
