LUMBER SWEPT AWAY.
Flames in Detroit suburb Destroy
Yards and aiIIs-Loss Esti-
mated at SsOO,0O0.


Detroit, Mich, May 13.-Fanned by
s5-mile an hour wind, fire Sunday after
noon swept the west bank of the Rouge
river in Delray, suburb to the south
of Detroit, for three-quarters of a
mile. and destroyed over 100000 worth
of property. Following are the losses:
saliotte & Furgason. lumber mill, $50
000 covered by insurance; Brownlee &
Co.'s sawmill, salt block and part Of their
stock OF lumber, SIS, 900, Insurance, $4,000;
the Western Union Telegraph company,
loss on cedar posts stored in yard which
was swept by the flames, about S6O00o0. in
surance unknown; Carkin. Stickney q
Cram, loss on dredge which was tied UP at
Salliotto g. Furgason's dock, $1,000 insur-
ance unknown; Maltby Lumber company,
cedar poles and sawmill. $4,000, Insurance.
SIS, O00
The fire originated shortly after one
o'clock in the roof of the Salliotte &
Furgason lumber mill. The mill had
not been running for several months,
and the roof was as dry as finder. The
building was soon in ashes, and the
fire swept across a dock to where
dredge No. 5, of the Carkin Stickney
and Cram fleet of dredges, was tied up.
Despite efforts to save her, this craft
was burned to the waters edge. Great
embers were picked up by the wind
and dropped on the roof of Brownlee
& Co.'s mill and salt block, and both
these buildings were destroyed.
Delray has a very small fire depart
ment, and call for help was sent to
the Detroit department., which re-
sponded with three engines and the
fire boat Battle. Even the great
streams from the fire boat were power
less to check the flames which were
rolling down the river bank for hun
dreds of feet.
From the Brownlee property the fire
jumped over into the large yard which
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany used as a storage point for their
cedar telegraph poles. The yard is the
distributing point for ten states, and
over 100000 poles were stored there.
The fire swept through the great yard
which comprises eight acres, in less
than two hours, but the poles bIazed
until far into the night. The plant of
the Maltby Lumber company was the
last one on the river bank, and it was
soon destroyed, together with large
stock of cedar poles which was stored
in the company's yard.
While this fire was burning the lum-
Der yard Of G. A. Raupp & Co., in
Ecorse, about mile from Delray, was
set on fire by sparks from passing en-
gine, and 500, 900 feet of lumber was de-
stroyed. The loss is about SIS, 900, COW
cred by insurance.

MAY CAUSE A WAR.
Mail Row in Turkey Leads to Serb
Gus Observation-Disclosures
by the Powers.

Constantinople, May 13.--The row
over the reception and delivery of mail
to the ambassadors of the powers has
suddenly assumed a threatening as
pect. The situation is so serious that
diplomats are INDUCING generously in
war talk. Sir Nicholas O'Connor, rep
resenting all the ambassadors, has
been exchanging notes with the porte
for the past week on the matter and
instead of assuaging the trouble the
Turkish government seems disposed
to be obstinate and refuse all con-
eessions.
Sir Nicholas O'Connor received a
third note Saturday, evidently ema-
mating direct from the sultan, demand
ing in peremptory language the i'm
mediate suppression Of the foreign
post offices and reiterat ting the charges
of smuggling against foreign officials.
The ambassador Immediately returned
the note to the porte, thus creating
a partial cessation of relations be-
tween the embassies and the Turkish
government.
Early in the week the ambassadors
of the foreign powers dispatched iden-
teal notes to the porte characterizing
the seizure by the Ottoman postal au-
thorities Of foreign mail bags as a
breach of international law and hold
ing the porte responsible for the con-
sequences. One of the mail bags
opened Sunday contained dispatches
of Count Won Marshall, the German
ambassador. In reply TO the protest
of the ambassadors the porte main
tanned the right of the Ottoman post
office TO receive and distribute foreign
mails.
The object of the Turkish govern
ment in maintaining strict censor
ship of the mail from foreign coun-
tries is to stem the plots of the young
Turkey party, which, it is known, is
conniying with the reform elements
Of all lands for the purpose of over
throwing the regime of Abdul Hamid.
Signor A. Pausa, the Italian ambassa-
dor, resigned recently because il is be-
lieyed his mail was constantly tam
pered with and his protests proved fu-
tile. The ambassadors of the other
powers, NJ. Gonstans, OF France; Baron
vous Calico, Of Austria-Hungary and
N. Sinowyew, Of Russia, have com
Cured in the action against the porte.

GlaIier and Glacier.

"Our boss is just about the most
absent-minded man in the world" said
one OF the clerks in Il large office in
Carondelet street, ''and his wife is con
tinually calling him down about it,
but it doesn't seem to do any good.
Strings tied around his fingers. cards

worse. When we had that last cold
snap few weeks ago, his wife told
him in the morning to be certain to

in one of their bedroom windows. He
knew how mad she'd be If he forgot,

head in the door he shouted to the
Office boy: Johnny! write 'glazier'' on
my desk blotter immediately With
that he felt safe, and it would hav
been all right, I dare say, if the fool
kid hadn't written glacier instead of
'glazier.'

the matter until late in the afternoon,
when he happened to notice the mem.
on the blotter and began to scratch his
head Glacier! glacierv he muttered:

claimed; 'glacier-a mass or ice. That
