Fire at Columbia, B. C,

COLUMBIA, b. c., Aug. I6.-This town
had narrow escape from being wiped
out by fire yesterday. AS it was, Escalls
hotel and half a dozen other buildings
were destroyed. The timely use of DIV.
Mantle in blowing up the PRESBYTERIAN
church alone saved the situation. The
loss will exceed $25, 900, insurance oply
partial.
Shortly after noon flames burst forth
between the sidewalk and the ground
moor OF the hall adjoining Escalls hotel
on Government avenue. high wind
was blowing from the southeast and in a
moment both buildings were ablaze. The
Escall is three story wooden structure.
So quickly did the flames spread that the
guests had barely time to escape, manv
OF them losing their baggage. Little fur
niture was saved.
The city is unprovided with water
works and the bucket brigade was prac-
tically useless. Ten minutes after the
hire was discovered the flames leaped from
the rear of the buildings to A. Krinple's $
blacksmith shop, adjoining OH Columbia
street, spread to kringle's residence next
door and leaped across the roadway to
the Model stables of w. III. Henninyer &
Co. kringle's residence next caught !.
but was soon blown up by dynamite.
Nearly all the contents of the Model
stable were saved.
Flying embers ignited the roof of the
Presbyterian church, three blocks away.
The structure was seethiny mass of
flames and sparks showered on the sur
rounding houses. 1t was then decided
to blow up the church. This was done
under the direction of Captain DesBrowe
and George Simmons of Grand Forks.
Twenty-Five pounds of Dynamite were
utilized and the building was blown to
atoms. The force of the explosion shat
tered all the window glass in the vicinity.
The residence of ex-Mayor Hay had a
narrow escape The explosion STAYED
the further prog ress of the fire and saved
the residence portion of the town.

General Funston tells of some late fight
ing with the insurgents, and comments
on the criticisms of having hanged some
bandits. He speaks highly of Captain
koehler, regular army officer. Capt.
koehler, is a brother of the Lieut.. Koch
ler whom the bandits waylaid and killed.
Gen. Funston's letter says in part:

Plenty Of Gold Left.

WASHINGTON, Aug. i6. - Secretary
Gage was asked by reporter If the out

iy to trouble or impair the gold reserve.
The secretary replied that he was suffer-

The movement" he said, ais entirely
natural and nature always tends to es-
tablish just equlibriums. The nepotia-
ton on this side of so large part Of the

LONDON, Aug. I6.-"The allies are re-
ported to have reached Pekin Monday"
says the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express, wiring yesterday. "Chi.
nese ofhcial news is without detail"
A Paris message reveals this, but the
statement, especially as it eranated from
Shanghai, must be accepted with consd,
cradle reserve. London papers, basing
their remarks upon Washington dis
patches, which, with the exception of the
foregoing from Shanghai, form the latest
news regarding the advance, are divided
Ill opinion. Some believe that the allies
must have already reached Pekin and
others prefer to believe the relief will not
be accomplished until the end of the
week.
Telegraphing from Yang thsun August
3, Daily News correspondent saws: "Sir
Alfred Gatetlee hopes to keep the enemy
running and to follow him right into Pc
kim"
Ngan Ping was occupied without firing
shot, according to dispatch to the
Daily Express from that place, dated
August IL.
1T is believed the message adds,
"that Generals Tung Flu Slang, Ma and
Ching are entrenched with 10000 strong
at Tung-chau. The allies may avoid
Tung -chau; pursuing the route northwest
of Chang kia-wan"
Tung g-chau appears to be about II
miles from Pekin.
dispatch to the same paper from
Shanghai, dated Yesterday, says that the
officials profess to be willing to hand over
the foreign ministers, their families and
servants, but will not permit the depart
ure of native Christians.
"The Russian government, says this
telegram, 'has notified Lii Hung Chang
OF its willingness to receive M. de Giers
outside The walls of Pekin, thus averting
the entrance of the Russian forces This
independent action is calculated to EN-
barass the allies seriously. Japan de-
nands that General Yung Lu shall meet
the allies outside the city walls and de-
liver the ministers and all the native
Christians"
The Chinese minister in London is
quoted as saying: "The powers must
not press too hard on Pekin. If you de.
feat the Chinese it will not be possible to
control the soldiers. They may turn and
rend the legations. ! do not believe the
legation food supplies will be stopped as
long as the powers refrain from attacking
Pekin and negotiate for the surrender of
the ministers -
