issued by the War Office tonight. In some
Of the cases mentioned the blacks were shot

Dealing with present aspects of the war
Mr.. Brodrick said Beers had accepted

be no repetition of such actions. Within
recent weeks BOer commanders had shown

would before long reach crisis when they
could no longer be treated as belligerentS.
The speaker said that the government was
for no half measures in securing a settle

emanate from the Beers.
Referring critically TO the dissenSions in
the Liberal party Mr.. Brodrick created
amusement by declaring that had Lord
Rosebery been premier the Liberals would
have had right TO his counsels, since the
captain could not withdraw and sulk in his
cabin during rough weather, especially il

FIRE LOSS OF $25O,OOO.
Main Building of the University of
Wooster Destroyed.

WOOSTER, o., Dec. 11.-Fire of unknown
origin early to-day destroyed the main
building of the University of Wooster. The
loss is estimated at $3.50, 900; insurance, about
$4,000. 1t is supposed that an explosion
of chemicals in one of the laboratories was
the cause. The main building was six
stories high and built thirty years ago.
Owing to low water pressure the fire de-
partment was unable to cope with the
flames. All of the records of the college
were burned. together with the greater
part of its equipment. The loss includes
a fine collection of minerals and relics
valued at $4,000 TO $4,000, recently pre-
scented by the United States government.
At mass meeting of citizens tonight
arrangements were made to furnish suf-
ficent classrOoms so that no interruption
to the work of the college would follow
the fire. AS to the future of the institu-
ton no definite statement has yet been
made. but it will probably be rebuilt imme
diately.
