FIRE AT HOUGHTON, MICH
Finest Hotel in the Upper Peninsula Is
Destroyed.

Houghton, Mich, Oct. 1.-The
Douglas House, the pride of the upper
peninsula was partially destroyed by
fire early in the day. The loss is esti-
mated at between $75, 900 and 100000.
The building was heavily insured.
The fire broke out in the kitchen and
developed almost the entire structure
before the guests could be aroused.
All got out safely, but for a time
there was slight confusion. The COM
bined Houghton, Hancock and Huron
town fire departments fought with
nine steamers, but could not get it I'M

The flames spread to the main por-
ton of the building, but were kept
from the front part, in which the Pos

Telephone Men on Strike.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Three hundred and
fifty linemen and repairmen employed
by the Chicago Telephone company
have struck because their demands for
higher wages were not complied with
by the company. AS result, the
strikers assert, the whole telephone
system of this city will be badly
crippled within a week. At present
the wage scale in 1915 a day for line
men and $500 for foremen. The strik-
ing employees demand an increase re-
spectively to 1926 and 1915 a day. In
view Of the extremely hazardous ma
ture of their work they maintain they
are justified in asking for the increase.
Officials of the company say they can
operate their lines unhampered.

The Eskimos at home in their native
frozen wilds do not believe in cooking.
Their meat, be it seal, fish, venison,
trout, salmon, whale blubber or cod
fish, they devour In it's natural raw
state and with the same gusto with
which the average small boy tackles a
watermelon. AS for bread and vege-
tables, they have none. They set their
seal oil lamps going, suspend a SOAP
stone dish filed with snow over it, and
with the water thus obtained they mix
an equal quantity of molasses procured
from the Hudson Bay company. That
they drink and are happy. That is the
sum total of an arctic cuisine

The captain of an ocean steamer is
often warned of the proximity of ice
bergs by the men in the engine room.
When ship enters water considerably
colder than that through which it has
been going its propeller runs faster,
and as such water surrounds the vi
cinity of icebergs for many miles the
engineers know when the propeller's
action is greatly accelerated without
any increase of the steam power ice
bergs may be expected. OF course the
thermometer is the most useful indi-
Gator of icebergs.

Another Severe Engageme1
NEWS CREATES A SENSATION
Island on Which the Fight Occurred Never
Occupied by the Spaniards.

Washington, Sept 3O-News of the
disastrous fight between troops of the
Ninth infantry and the insurgents in
the island of Samar Saturday was sent
promptly by General Hughes COM
manding in that island to General
Chaffee at Manila, and by him trans
mitted to the war department. 1t
reached the department during the
early hours yesterday, and Adjutant
General Corbin, realizing its impor-
tance, at once made it public, after
sending a copy to the White House.
The news created a sensation in Off
cial sircles. It was the first severe re-
verse that has occurred for long
time. Still the officials were not I'M
prepared for news Of just this charac-
ter from Samar, in which the revolu
ton started by Aguinaldo still con-
tinues. Samar is a country about as
large as the state of Ohio, and the
American forces of occupation number
in all between 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts in the island, large number be-
ing located at the more important cen
tiers. Spain never made any effort to
occupy Samar, and it only has been
for probably three months past that
the United States has undertaken that
work.
The latest report made by General
Hughes to the war department was
that the number of insurgent rifles in
the island aggregated about 300. The
Filipinos carried on a guerrilla war
fare, and operations against them were
difficult. Immediately upon receipt of
the dispatch Adjutant General Corbin
cabled General Chaffee to send COM
piete report of the fight and a list of
the casualties.
A well-known official of the govern
nlent, in speaking of this outbreak
against the American forces in Samar,
said he regarded it as a consequence
of the assassination of President Nc
Kinley. In all probability the insurg-
ents had received, he said, only meager
reports of the tragedy, and possibly be-
lieved the shooting to be the result of
some popular outbreak against the
president The natives had seized the
opportunity in the Pickering hope Of
retrieving some of their lost ground.
