THE JACKSONVILLE FIRE,
Representative Davis Says People
Will Rebuild the City.

Representative Davis of Florida is at the
Metropolitan. Mr.. Davis came through
Jacksonville, which is in his congressional
district, on his way to this city, and to a
Star reporter today said the people of that
place are looking hopefully to rebuilding
their property which has been destroyed by
the fire. They have 5000, 900 of insurance
money to depend on, and although the de-
struction by the flames amounted to S15.-
100000, it will give them a good basis for
action. Features of the city that it will
take quarter of a century to replace are
the splendid shade trees which We're utter
ly destroyed.
The disaster to our orange groves in
1885, said Mr.. Davis, was met with the
same spirit of courage that our people
show now. In two hours $50 100000 in
orange groves was destroyed, as We're two
thirds of the orange crop of 100000 box
es worth S1.50 a box. But they took that
disaster quietly and now our orange crop
In Florida amounts to 800 900 boxes an
nually, or nearly a third of what 1t was in
1875. The people are planting orange
groves now, and that industry will again
equal what 1t was before the freeze which
killed every orange tree In the state"

OHIO DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
Proposed McLean-kilbOurn Alliance
Against Tom johnson.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 22.-Lewis ].
Bernard, political agent of John r. Nc
Lean, spent last night here in conference
with Col. Jas. Kilbourne undoubtedly try
ing to arrange an alliance with Col Kill
bourne for Mr.. Mclean, with which to op-
pose Tom Johnson's proposition that the
democratic state convention shall nominate
former Congressman John ]. Lentz for
United States senator Two weeks ago,
while here, Bernard said he was not in
favor of Kilbourne for governor. The Lentz
declaration of Tom Johnson seems to have
changed this. The history of the demo-
cratic campaign so far is this: johnson
sought alliance with Mclean, imme-
diately after the municipal elections, but
received a rebuff from Mclean, who con-
sidered Johnson's democracy too much in
clined to populism. Then Johnson turned
against Mclean. the LentZ announcement
being open declaration Of war. While
Mclean and kilbourne have never agreed
in politics, Mclean at least sees that II Will
be necessary to bury grievances and Join
hands If the energetic mayor of Cleveland.
with the aid Of LentZ here and Mayor
Jones at Toledo, is to control the state
convention. OF course, Mclean wants as
surances from Col. kilbourne that If elect
ed governor he will use his influence in
that office in the interest Of McLean's cam
didacy for the United States Senate. Prom
Using this, kilbourne can have McLean's
support for the nomination for governor.

United States Advancing at the Ex-
penSe of the British.

The State Department is In receipt of a
communication from Mr.. II. G. Squiers,
the United States secretary of legation at
Pekin, concerning China's foreign trade for
1900. The annual statement issued by the
imperial maritime customs says Mr..
Squiers, shows that the great expansion of
chinese foreign trade during 1899 was con-
tinued In 1900, up to the time of the Boxer
outbreaks in June. which stopped all trade
for time at Niuchwang and Tien Tsin,
and naturally had a depressing effect on
all other ports A remarkable fact in this
connection was the quietude of Yangtze
province in the very face of the most
alarming reports from the north, and the
revenue was the largest of any year dur
ing the past ten, with the exception of
1873 The imports exceeded any previous
record, and the exports We're only s2s SIS
