Origin of the Fire Unknown.

1t is not known how the fire started.
The first intimatiou of it was the ex-
plosion of large Oil tank in the build
ing of the Maddox Grocery company,
and a moment later the building was a
mass of flames. The entire fire depart
ment was Immediately called out, but
the fire had gained such headway that
it was impossible to either save the
Maddox building or confine it to this.
Almost Immediately alter the explosion
the flames leaped over the 20,foot alley
between the Maddox building and the
Markham house five story building, the
rear of which was soon fiercaly burning.
The Maddox Grocery company will
perhaps be the heaviest losers. They
carried an immense stock of groceries
and had hundreds Of orders which it

that they carried papers worth SI25,00O

tentions among the physicians, not

to whether the abdominal opening

all they all agree only in the conclu-

President Roosevelt's Policy.

Roosevelt's announced purpose to
continue absolutely unbroken the
policy of President Mckinley, is
more than a sentimental expression
of admiration for the life and public
services of his predecessor. AS a
confirmation of this the President
has taken occasion to outline in de-
tail further points in the policy
which he intends to follow during
his incumbency of the position OF
Chief Magistrate of the nation. This
policy as outlined to his friends will
be:
"For more liberal and extensive
reciprocity in the purchase and sale
of commodities, so that the overpro-
duction of this country can be salts
factorily disposed of by fair and
equitable arrangements with foreign
countries.
The abolition entirely of CONNER
cia1 war with other countries and the
adoption of reciprocity treaties.
The abolition Of such tariffs on
foreign goods as are no longer needed
for revenue if such abolition can be
had without harm to our industries
and labor.
Direct commercial lines should be
established between the Eastern
coast of the United States and the
ports in South America and the Pa
cifc coast ports of Mexico, Central
America and South America.
The encouraging of the merchant
marine and the building of ships
which shall carry the American flag
and be owned and controlled by
Americans and American capital.
The building and completion as
soon as possible of the Isthmian
canal, so as to give direct water
communication with the coasts of
Central America, South America and
Mexico.
The construction of cable owned
by the government, connecting our
mainland with our foreign possess
ions, notably Hawaii and the Phil
ippines.
The use of conciliatory methods of
arbitration in all disputes with for
eign nations so as to avoid armed
strife.
The protection of the savings of
the people in banks and in other
forms of investment by the preserva-
ton of the commercial prosperity of
the country.
The placing in positions of trust of
men of only the highest integrity"
Thus far, the only great question
of national policy upon which Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Roosevelt have
differed has been that involved in the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Mr.. Roose-
yelt was quoted in opposition to that
instrument in the form in which it
was drawn, and substantially in
agreement with the Senate amend
ments which failed to find favor with
Great Britain. Just now a new treaty
is nearly completed, drawn, it is be-
lieved, on lines that will meet the
approval of the Senate, since Secre-
tary Hay took great pains to ascer-
tain the exact wishes of its leaders
before embarking on a second series
of negotiations. Probably this new
instrument will be in a shape that
President Roosevelt would willingly
support, independent of any obliga-
ticn that he might feel toward the
policies of his predecessor. If so,
the real source of difference between
the two administrations will be elm
inated.-Phila Times.

OF OklahOma's social and religious status
Governor Barnes says in his report:
PeOped with the most enterprisine people
from all of the States of the Union, there is no
reason to believe that the social condition of
Oklahoma should be different from those of
the States of which all the people have lately
been residents, and yet there seems to be q
widespread conception throughout the East that
OklahOmans are kind Cf strange beings diff
ferent from the general run of mankind and at
national conventions and ssembes of all kinds
the delegates from oklahoma are gaZed upon

be disappointment over the fact that they are
but ordinary men and women.
