------------------ MILLIoN-DoLLAR FIRE.
Flames Do Great Damage in New
 York.

New York. Nov. 2S.--A million dollars is the estimate of the loss by fire this afternoon in the vicinity of Ninth Street and East River. Several firemen were hurt, but none seriously. The blaze start- ed in the plant of w. E. Uptegrove d Bros, manufacturers of boxes, veneers and fine wood work, and this firm was the principal sufferer. One Of its buildings was a seven story structure. while those surrounding it were one-story buildings. All the Uptegrove & Bros. mill was de- strcytd From the Standard oil Com pany's depot on Eleventh Street thou- sands of gallons Of oil were drained into the river to prevent great explosion and resulting confagration.
 After the fire was thought to be under control, 1t broke out again and spread to the works of the Mutual Gas Company. This outbreak was caused by fireman dropping a burning window sash into the street. The street was flooded with water on which was a thick coating of oil This ignited and the flames leaped into the gas companys property. The fire then turned back across the street and the imm nse sto of lumber owned, by Hegemeyer and Sons was ignited. It comprised about eighteen million feet of valuable woods. The lumber yards of J. M. Saulpaugh were also reached by the flames and great damage done.
 Fire Chief Croker estimated late tonight that the total damage would aggregats a million dollars. He estimated that the loss of J. M Saulpaugh would be $l25,0O w. F. Uptegrove about $350,0J0; Mutual Gas Company $10o GOO; G. M. Hegemeyer sl51G0); Standard Oil Company $15,000. Smaller los es We're sustained by others.

ACCOUNTS OF YOUNG
SHORTAGE OF DEAD MAN NOT
 YET ASCERTAINED.
Estimated by Some That It Will Reach $5o,ooo, But This is
 Mere Surmise-Had Handled $11,00O,0oO

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2S.-Beyond the statement made last night to Mayor Grainger by one of the expert account ants that discrepancies amounting 10 S2S, ,OCO had been found in the books of the former City Treasurer, Stuart R. Young, who committed suicide yester- day evening, nothing definite Is known as to how accounts stand between the city and Its former Treasurer. When asked for an authoritative statement tonight, enc of the accountants said that beyond the amount mentioned last night he had abs olutely no idea as to what the alleged shortage is. He added that 1t would re- uuire' two weeks of co instant work to go over the books of the Treasurer's office. During his four years term as City Treasurer MT. Young handled $11, 900.
 There were various reports today as to the amount of the alleged shortage, some placing it at $5O,OOO aad some even higher, but they are all surmises according to the men who are examining the books.
 From dev. lopment3 today 1t seems ab- solutely certain that If Young had been found by his friends who were looking for4tim yes terday afternoon he would be alive now. His brother, Lawrence Young of Chicago, was taking train for Louis vile when a telegram was handed him saving Stuart Young was dead. Before the suicide occurred friends of Stuart Young had communicated with Lawrence Young and the latter had replied that he would come at once to Louisville. This, if is said. was unknown to Stuart Young. It became known today that several of Youngs friends having heard reports about the condition of the former City Trea slrer's accounts before newspaper publication was made of them, had ar ranged a tentative plan to secure any aid that might be needed. Their plan was frustrated merely by the fact that yes terday afternoon they were unable to ind Young. He seems to have spent the al- ternoon away from the business part of inc citv Yesterday morning Young ask ed for his revolver at the desk or the Louisville Hotel, where he lived.
 Laurence Young, the dead mans brotber said this afternoon: When l reached my home in Chicago yesterday afternoon I fund numerous telephone messages from persons in Louisville. called them up and learned Of the re- ports oe Stuarts shortage. l telegraph ed that I would come immediately and for all matters to be held up until l ar rived On ms way to the depot l receiv- ad a teIegram announcing Stuart's death.

the Panama end as they desired, he must of necessity have yielded the same right to the Liberals who hold the Colon end of the line. The result would inevitably have been conflicts and the provisional line would prevent the free transit that Captain Perry is there to maintain. Therefore his attitude Is held by the Navy Department to be entirely correct.
 However. the fact is recognized that the situation is dangerous from an in ternational point of view and 1t is hoped the pressure will be relieved speedily by the transfer of active military operations to some other field not near the Panama Railway

COMPLIMENTS FOR AMERICA Thanksgiving Dinner in
 London. J. M. RICHARDS PRESIDED Cambon, White, Doyle and Hope Among the Speakers. President Roosevelt Praised and the Assassination of MT. Mckinley
 Deplored- Friendship of the Nations the Keynote.
J. M. RICHARDS PRESIDED

London, Nov. 2S.--Three hundred guests assembled this evening for the Thanks giving dinner given under the auspices of the American Society in London.
 John Morgan Richards was in the chair. Paul Cambon. the French Ambassador to Great Britain. proposed the health of President Roosevelt.
 Henry White. the United States Chargs d'Anairs. responded to the toast The Charge dAffaires.'' proposed by Justice Walton.
 M. Cambon paid feeling tribute to the late President Mckinley. whose death. he said, had shocked France and knit the sister republics in closer bonds of sympathy and sorrow. While President Roosevelt was an unknown quantity in the world. said M. Cambon. his was cultured. energetic and charming per- sonaIity, and his elevation to the Presi- dency had been received in France with the happiest anticipations of carrying on those cordial relations which had existed. between the two countries for over a cen- tury past.
 Justice Walton paid high tribute to Mir. Whites efforts to promote goud feeling between Great Britain and the United States.
 The Reply of Mr. White. MT. White, replying. said ne had long been acquainted with the cordial feeling Great Britain entertained for the United States Mr. White said he hoped to be forgiven if he referred to that American prosperity which made the Secretary of the United States Treasury the envy of every treasury-secretary in the world. If America.s friendship for Great Bri- tain was pronounced, this did not mean. went on MT. White, that Americans held any less cordial feelings toward rfaiice or any other nation of the world. Mfr. White then spoke highly of President Roosevelt.
 Conan Doyle. the novelist, produced perhaps the greatest effect of the even ing by declaring the pendulum of the British world had now shifted to some where between New York and Chicago.
 There is no use in disguising this im- portant fact" continued MT. Doyle, yet If the English speaking races should be compelled to meet a common foe, the world would soon see how quickly these same English speaking people would close up their ranks and march shoulder to shoulder for civilization"
 When Anthony Hope the novelist spoke, he said the only thing that remained to be done to bind the nations more closely together was for some one to find com mon denomlnator for English and Ameri- can jokes
 Admiral Sir Edward Robert Frsmantle referred to the friendly relations existing between the Eavies of Great Britain and the United States.
 A brilliant Thanksgiving day reception was held at the American Embasy here tonight. American business and private houses were decorated with the stars and stripes.

WAS IN THE PULPIT
Roosevelt Talks to a Big Chicago Con
gregatiOn

Chicago, September Two lay SER
nous, a luncheon with several Illinois
politicians and visit to Hull house
were the events that occupied Vice
President Roosevelt in Chicago today.
He left tonight for Minneapolis where
he will deliver II Labor day Grafton
tomorrow.
After breakfasting at the Chicago
Club with Paul Morton, of the Santa
Fe road, the Vice President was driV-
en- to the Trinity Dutch Reformed
church, on Marshfeld avenue. This is
the church Mr.. Roosevelt usually at
tends when in Chicago, and he is
known personally to many members
of the congregation. After the sermon
the pastor invited him to the platform,
and the Vice-President, as has been
his custom when visiting this church,
made a short, informal address, tell,
ing the worshippers that true happi-
ness could be found only by Trusting
in God and being faithful to the
country.

WILL NOT OPPOSE EVANS
Kansas &. A. K. Will Try and Pre-
vent Criticism at Cleveland.

Topeka, September kansas will
line up solidly in opposition to any
resolution censuring the management
of the pension bureau by Commission
er II. Clay Evans if any are presented
at the Cleveland encampment next
week. This will be in striking con-
trast to the action of her Kansas dele
gates in past encampments. For the
past three years Kansas has taken the
lead in the fight on Evans, but it will
fight him no more. There are two rea-
sons for this. The first is that a diff
ferent faction is now in control of the
G. y. Il. department of this state,
The old crowd that had been running
the department for years was routed
at the junction City reunion. The old
soldiers clamored for new deal until
they got it. The men in control now
are not rabid anti-Evans men. Tine
second reason is that if Kansas joins
in any movement to denounce Evans
this State will not land the pension
commissioner.
Senator Burton came back from
Canton, Ohio, the other day and gave
il out that Evans would notb be deposeC
as pension commissioner if the Cleve
land encampment denounced his man
agement of the bureau He was givinl
publicity to the Presidents privatel.
expressed determination. If Evan
escapes any criticism at CLEVELAND
there will be new pension commits
sionet within thirty days and he vii
be n Kansan. If he is criticised h
will hold over for another four years
1t therefore behooves the Kansas dele
CATION not only to not join in an
demonstration against Evans, but t
attempt to quell one if some other stat
springs it, And that is just what III
Kansas delegation will do.
