FIRE GETS IN THE DRY GOODS.
Shopping District of Detroit Visited by
the Red DESTROYER

Shopping District of Detroit Visited by
the Red Destroyer.
Detroit, Feb. 27.-Fire which broke
out in the center Of the Woodward ave-
nue. shopping district at noon yester-
day Quilted the four-story building oc-
cupied by Mari & Taylor. retail dry
goods, and by George G. Darwin's la
dies clothing emporium. Streams of
. water thrown from the front and rear
and from adjoining roofs, aided by the
protection of fire walls, prevented hte
fierce blaze from spreading to adjoin-
ing buildings.
Mari & Taylor's loss is estimated at
$4,000, fully insured; Darwin's loss,
$4,000, insured; Mrs. III. S. Weaver,
millinery, $1,000, partly insured; Ros-
enzweig q Co., shoes, $4,000, insured.
The damage to the building, which is
owned by Lowrie Bros, and insured
for $4,000, will equal that amount.
The blaze started in the basement
from the fire Of n plumber, who was
thawlng out some pipes. 1t rushed up
the elevator shaft and stairways so
quickly that several persons narrowly
escaped being burned. Among these
were Messrs. Taylor and Darwin and
Miss Hunter, the cashier, who were
carried down from the third story on
ladder.

SYMPATHY WITH THE BoERs.

No country in the world has taken
single step in the interest of the
Beers except the United States. Presi-
dent Mckinley went further than any
nation in Europe In approaching the
British government to see whether
our good offices would be accepted.
There is one thing remarkable about
these Beers. They get no encourage
ment In Holland. where they originat-
ed and were their forefathers went

Germany. 1t is now proposed that in

THE CoUR D'ALENE sCARECROw

One of the features of the late Pop
ulist convention in Sioux Falls was a
speech by female agitator from
Washington in the result of the inves-
tigation of the labor troubles in Idaho
and the picture she drew was enough
to curdle the blood. The following
resume of that investigation by the
Associated Press is interesting in the
same connections:
The Occur d'Alene riot hearing be-
fore the house committee on military
affairs is devoid of much of the sensa-
onitaiism that was promised by Repre-
sentatives Lentz and Sulzer. Bartlett
Sinclair. auditor of the state, and the
man whom the compliments charac-
terized as "the arch fiend Of all the
tyrants," has appeared before the com
mittee and made favorable impress
sion. Mr.. Sinclair had exclusive con-
troll of the bull pen," and all the le-
gal proceedings at Wardner. He rep
resented the governor and possessed
his authority.
A fair and impartial review of the
hearing throws the blame for the
riots upon the miners union of the
Occur d'Alene district. 1t was shown
that reign of terror existed there for
ten years, and that the blowing up of
the mine about year ago was only
the elimination OF the acts and plots
of These lawless men. The duty of
the governor to call out the federal
troops at that time, when the state
militia was in the Philippines, is unde-
niable. 1t was shown that Mr.. Sin
clair kept continuously In open action
the civil courts and other civil Offices
Of that county. In this action he was
upheld by the state, district and SUI
preme courts. 1t is not denied that
blunders were made. the soldiers were
not always as gentle as they might
have been, and innocent men we're &C.
cassionally arrested and held without
trail. The severity of the military au-
thorities was evidenced by their action
in forcing some of the prisoners to
work the pumps at the mine. This was
necessary to prevent flooding. 1t was
also show that every case Of injustice
was righted sooner or later.
1t Is said the end sought by the in
stigators of the investigation was a
blow at the administration. In this
they have failed. The attempt de-
clined from the day the governor of
Idaho took the stand and refused to
throw any of the responsibility for the
situation on the federal authorities
and assumed 1t himself. The tele-
grams of the president and the war de-
partment were also presented, showing
how they attempted to withdraw the
troops from that post, and how the
complaints of every labor organization
received prompt attention and investi-
cation hy order of the nresidenf

DRINKING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Chaplain Pierce of the regular
army, VINO has been in the Philippines
ever since the treacherous Aguinaldo
attacked Manila on Feb. 1898 says,
in his report to the adjutant general:
When | first saw Manila the streets
were practically lined with little nipa
huts, perhaps about twelve feet square,
in which the natives were selling, at
merely nominal price, not only fruit
and tobacco, but also native gin.
These gin shacks" should certainly
be included in the number of drinking
places existing at the beginning; and
their number was very large. The
character of this native drink was so
fiery and villianous that it's effect on
such of men as used it was deplorable.
1t became my duty to bury two SOL
diers who never recovered from the
effect Of drinking it. One of them had
been in the service about eighteen
years, and received from the officers,
in personal conversation with me, a
commentator so fiattering with re-
gard to his character for sobriety and
soldiery honor that it might be cot
ed by any man. He had never been a
drunkard, but this native poison was

restrict this traffic, by system which
finally resulted in its prohibition.

saloon but am forced to give my testi-
mony that the substitution of regi-

was sold, In place of this traffic in ma

the day when all men, out of the army
as well as in 1t, might find 1t agreeable
by their abstinence to crush out the
market for all malt and spirituous pro-
ducts. That millenial age has not
dawned, and my opinion is that it is
better to accept such forms of restric-
ton as are reasonable than to insist on
a theory which, however ideal, Is i'm

Virginia, Mimi, June 1O.-The en-
terprising citizens of the all but ruined
city of Virginia are not standing idly
and bemoaning their loss, but are
taking hold in an intelligent and ener-
getinc manner to recoup their losses
as best they may. One business man
who lost heavily by Thursdays fire,
cast his eye over the fire-swept town,
and with grim humor said: "Well.
we will have chance to get in on the
ground floor once more" The recon
struction of Virginia, destroyed by fire
for the second time I'm seven years,
began yesterday, within twenty-four
hours after the fire and before the
ashes Were cold. Both of the new
buildings which are being erected are
for business purposes. Within week
scores Of new buildings will be going
up.

they have never been able to do so

the Rockefeller interests, single-hand-

tied up in this harbor capacity for
nearly 100000 tons every ten days, be-
longing to the Rockefeller company.
The waiting fleet includes ten whale
