AT FARGO
Packing Plant and Great
Northern Sheds Burn
at Same Time.
to The Journal.

SpeclaI TO Inc journal.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 5-The Fargo Pack
ing company's plant and the Great North
ern freight sheds were destroyed by fire
early this morning, entailing loss of
$4,000, fully insured
The department was first called to the
packing eompanys plant, which had
caught fire in the highest part of the
building over the ice house. The flames
had gained such headway that only the
books were saved. There was a large
amount of fresh and packed meat on hand,
which, with the buildings, made a loss of
at least $4,000; $4,000 insurance was
carried.
During the progress of this blaze a Sec
ond call was turned in from the Great
Northern freight depot on the north side
of town, where it was found flames had
started in the center of the large frame
building, which burned very rapidly, de-
stroying the depot and six Great Northern
box cars in addition to several thousand
dollars worth of freight The exact
amount of the loss is unknown yet, but
1T is thought it will be between $50 900
and 100000, all covered by blanket insur-
ance.
The fact that both fires were in prog
ress on both sides of the city at the same
time led many to believe the flames were
or incendiary origin for purposes Of
burglary but there is little to confirm
this theory. The packing company fire
may have been started from sparks from
locomotive, but the origin of the fire at
the Great Northern depot is a mystery.
1t was in the center of the long sheds
where no fire had been kept, as the Offices
are at the east end of the building.

Admiral Caillard should occupy a couple OF
ports on the island of sIitylene which is
conveniently close to Smyrna. Should the
governments impression that the sultan
VIII satisfactorily settle the monetary
question without delay prove unjustihed
and the customs receipts at Mitylene not
suthcient to meet the French claims,
Smyrna can yet be occupied. Meanwhile
the occupation Of the ports on the island
OF Mitylene Is more convenient, from q
military point of view, as the French
cannot be easily disturbed on that island,
whereas, Smyrna being on the main land,
It's occupation might have more serious
developments than desired The French
government, however. trusts that the
whole difficulty will very shortly be ar
ranged to it's satisfaction and hopes that
the treaty stipulations will be carried out
by the issue Of trades, such as giving GER
tain French schools permission to open.
which thus far has been withheld, and also
by giving official recognition, throughout
the Turkish empire, to diplomas issued by
the French medical faculty at Beirut, etc.
Admiral Caillard has occupied the three
principal ports Of the island of Mitylene.

AT MITYLENE
French Squadron Arrives and VIII
Seize Customs.

Paris. Nov. 5.---Admiral Caillard's
squadron arrived off the island Of Syria,
Grecian archipelago, yesterday and de-
tached a dispatch boat, which entered the
port OF Syra and received from the tele-
graph station a batch of dispatches con-
tanning definite instructions from the
French government regarding carrying out
the sealed orders which were handed to
the admiral previous to his leaving Tou-
Ion. These dispatches directed Admiral
Caillard to proceed to the island of Nifty
lene where he will seize the customs at
Midill and at another port. The0 squadron
arrived at Mitylene this morning.
The foreign office here has not yet re-
ceived the sultan's reply to the note pre-
sented by M. Baptiste, councillor of the
French legation at Constantinople, follow
ing out the instructions OF M. Delcasse,
the foreign minister, under date of Nov. 8.
When the French government decided to
send a French squadron to Turkish wa
ters, ii debated whether to seize the Gus
toms at Salonica, Beirut or Smyrna, as it
was realized that the receipts of one of
these three big ports would be required
to produce a sufficient sum to pay off the
French claims without long occupation,
which was considered inadvisable. The
occupation of Salonica was at once dis
missed because it might create the false
opinion that France was aiming to reopen
the Macedonian question. The occupation
Of Beirut was also set aside owing to the
French position and interests In Syria.
where the population looks on France as
its protector.
The occupation OF Beirut, therefore. was
certain to create effervescence, and, per-
haps rebellion. The choice OF M. Del
casse consequently fell on Smyrna, which
offers equal advantages to the other ports
without having their political drawbacks.
Saturday, however. came the dispatch
announcing the issuing Of the sultan's
trade accepting the Lorando claim in it's
entirety, as France demanded. This dis
patch slightly modified the situation, In
asmuch as NJ. Delcasse came to the con-
clusion that the sultan would now settle
the money claims and would, within few
days, produce the guarantees which France
demanded for their payment The neces-
sity for seizing customs. therefore, became
less pressing, although the necessity for
occupying Turkish territory in order to
exercise pressure and compel the sultan to
concede the demands respecting Turkeys
disregard of French treaty rights, still
remained urgent
The government, therefore, decided that

Washington, Nov. administration
officials are beginning to take more seri-
GUS view Of the Franco Turkish crisis now
that the warships Of the powers are as
sembling in Turkish waters than they
held few days ago. At first they thought
the who affair was merely little stage
thunder for the benefit of the sultan, but
now they are looking for an explosion.
The assertion that France intends de-
manding protectorate over Catholics in
the Levant and the probable dispatch of
the British squadron to Beirout, Syria, is
what has caused this serious view Cath
olics in the Levant in Turkish territory
are nearly all in Syria. The boundaries
of that Turkish vilayet extend to within
sixty miles of Port Said, the northern
end Of the Suez canal. The French have
never forgiven the British for securing
control of the canal. The demand for a
protectorate over the Catholics in Syria
for protectorate over the vilayet and
the first move toward fight for the con-
troll of the canal
All the fleets except Admiral Caillard's
are moving toward the eastern end of the
Mediterranean off the coast of Syria. That
fact drew the attention of officials to the
crisis. The Italian squadron is headed
for Smyrna as a counterbalance of the
French under Admiral Caillard, which is
supposed to be going toward the Dardan-
elles. The Russian squadron Is at Smyrna
and a Greek force is also getting ready
to 90 there 49,.

CUSTOMS HOUSE SEIZED
Report That Turkey Has Called Upon
England for Protection.

Paris, Nov. Sit is unoficially reported
that Admiral Caillards division of the
Mediterranean squadron has reached
Smyrna, and that the French troops have
occupied the customs house there The
rumor Is based on. dispatches reported to
be received by the government.
1t is rumored that France has notified
the powers of the triple alliance of con-
templated naval action in Turkey
A profound sensation was produced here
by the announcement, coming from the
-Constant1nople correspondent of the
Echo de Paris that the porte had called
upon Great Britain to fulfill the terms OF
the convention Of 1878, and guarantee the
integrity OF the sultan's Asiatic posses
sions. This agreement was entered into
by England to bind the bargain whereby
she received the island of Cypress. The
possibility of English interference, hither-
to left out OF the reckoning, has caused
a furry Of excitement and. has served
partially to change the defiant attitude
of the French people.

TO SAVE WAR REooRps
Next Legislature to BE Asked for
Additional Money.

1t is probable that the next legislature
will be asked to make an additional appro-
priation for preserving in permanent form
the records Of the Minnesota troops which
took part in the civil war. The last leg
islature appropriated $4,000 as a starter,
and the appropriation to be asked will be
no more than that. From constant use
the original records have become dilapi-
dated. The present act requires that the
records shall be transcribed in duplicate;
that one copy shall be placed in metallic
boxes and kept free from exposure, while
the other shall be used for reference
No appropriation has yet been made for
the preservation of the Spanish war rec
ords. The last legislature was asked for
one, but killed the bill. The next legis-
lature will be asked to appropriate about
