jacksonville, Fla, May THE most
disastrous fire in the history Of this
city began Friday shortly after noon
in small factory from a defective
wire, according to the best belief, and
burned for nearly ten hours. In that
time a property damage estimated at
$l5, 00O,O 900 was caused. According to
the city map 100 blocks were burned.
many of them in the heart of the bust
ness and residence section. The esti-
mate of houses to the block is ten,
hence 1900 of them went up in smoke.
Many of the finest public and private
buildings were destroyed, including
hotels, theaters, churches and resi-
dences. The casualties cannot be accu-
rately estimated. That there were
several seems to be we'll authenticated.
Six lives are reported lost. Among
them was that of the fire chief, who
sustained a bad fall. The mayor has
ordered all of the saloons closed, and
has impressed help to clear the wreck
age. The mayor ut late hour esti-
mated the loss at SIS, zoo, 600 and that
10000 to Is, 000people were homeless.

ASK CHINA FOR MILLIONS.
Indemnity Finally Fixed by the
Commissions Which Includes
All Private Claims.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS $s2s,ooo,ooo
Four Plans Are Provided for Makina
Agreed Upon-Povvers May Have to
Guarantee the Bonds Issued by the
Chinese Government.

London, May 3.-The Peking CORE
spondent of the Times sends sum-
mary of the indemnity commissions
report. Considering the improbable
ity of China paying from her own re-
sources the e65,O0O,OOO demanded,
which sum includes the private claims,
four alternatives, the report says, pre-
sent themselves:
First-A Chinese loan not guaranteed by
the powers. Such loan would be almost
ruinous to China.
Second-A loan guaranteed by all the
powers. Such loan would be easily OBJ
tainable. 1t would hasten the payment
of the indemnities and the restoration of
normal conditions. 1t would be advan-
tageous to trade, but would involve heavy
responsibilities for the governments and
might lead to difficulties in the event of
differences among the guaranteers. who
might require control of the revenues
hypothetical.
Third-To issue Chinese bonds to each
power for the amount of its indemnity. pay
able at fixed terms. Bonds bearing inter-
est could serve as security for national
loan.
Fourth-Annual payments. which would
be inconventent as involving an undue pro-
longation Of the time of payment.
The committee decided to leave the
decision as to which alternative shall

Taul was made by train the other
morning. The train was heavy, and
when it arrived at Fairchild, Wis.,,
the engineer found he was seven min.

Fairchild to Augusta is nine miles,
the track is straight and the grade
perfectly level. It is here that time

such speed was ever made as that re-

Sources of Revenue.

be adopted to the home government.
Sources of Revenue.
The committee unanimously agreed
upon the following sources of revenue
to be utilized for payment of the in
IDENTITIES:
First, the maritime customs. which al
ready are under foreign control Their
total revenue is .e2S,o0o0Oo or s29.000. 600. of
which GN,0O0,00 is absorbed in paying in
terest of foreign loans.
Second. an increase in the customs tariff
to an effective five per cent. ad valorem
This would give, opium being excepted,
from s2,5O0000 to s3,500,OO0.
Third, the native customs. II placed un-
der the maritime customs would yield from
s3.000,O00 to 100000 900.
Fourth, duties on goods such as -four
butter. cheese. foreign clothing. spirits.
ETC.. which are now admitted free.
The committee considers that the
above sources would yield a minimum
revenue of 5,50O,0O0 taels and maxi
mum revenue of 100000 taels.
What IL Recommended.
The committee recommends, but
not unanimously, the following:
An increase of the customs tariff to ten
per cent, which. 1t is estimated, would
yield from 1O,500.000 to 1S.0OO.00 taels. 1t is
estimated that the salt tax would yield
from 4,000.0 900 to 20,O000O0 taels. the Picking
octroi producing 50O.0O0 taels. The commu-
tation of the rice sribute, it is estimated,
would bring 100000 to 100000 taels. The
abolition of the Manchu pensions and a
reduction Of military expenses are recon-
mended.
The commission expresses the opin-
ion that neither the land tax nor the
likin can be touched. The increase in
the maritime customs applies to inn
ports only.
Ministers DO Not Agree.
All the ministers, with the excep-
ton of the British. American and
Japanese, favor an immediate increase
of ten per cent.
The committee concludes that with
out the guarantee of the powers China.
in order to pay s65,OOO,OO0 sterling.
would require to raise es5.000,0OO at
five per cent. but with a guarantee she
would not require to raise more than
6 "a, DOC, 900 at or AZ per cent. if the
creditors consent to postponement
of the redemption until the revenue is
increased. China meantime need pay
the interest only.

A Russian clergyman, whose church
is located at Woods Run, Pa, has
been making census of his country
men in the United States and finds
that there are in all only about six
hundred. These. he explains, are real
Russians, and do not include many
thousands who, though speaking the
Russian language and belonging to
the Greek church, are merely of Slav-
ic blood in partial degree.
