FIGHTING FLAMES IN BOSTON
Seven Story Building Burned
 Loss About $125, ,OOO.

Two Book Binders and Two Publish
 CTS Burned Out-The Deep Snow and
 Ice Hindered the Bremen So That
 They Could Not Do Their Best
 Work.
 Boston, Dec 15.-Incased in ice and hindered by deep snow, almost the en- tire force of the city's fire department fought flames in the seven-story block, 21O to 21S Summer street, early to-day. A loss estimated at between $1O0,O0O and $125, ,O0O resulted from the fire, two bookbinding firms. E.. Fleming & Co and Mcdonald & Sons, being burned out, while several other concerns, in cluding the Estes Press and very L.. Rand, publisher, sustained heavy dam age by water.
 For more than three hours the work of the fire department seemed to be fruitless. Oceans were poured upon the flames only to run down the stair ways. soak through the floors to rooms below. The torrents running down the stairs rushed out into Aldine street. a narrow thoroughfare in the rear of the building. and as the sewers were choked with snow, the water filled the street, rising so high that the fires in engine 39 were put out and firemen waded up to their waists.
 At other points fremen suffered greatly. Incased in coverings of ice, they climbed the seven stories over slip pery fire escapes and ladders. Two casualties were reported. Ladderman Taylor had his hand cut by falling bricks and Patrolman Lewis was slightly overcome by smoke.
 The firms burned out: E. Fleming & Go bookbinders; Mcdonald & Sons, bookbinders.
 Damaged by water: Estes Press. publishers: Avery l.. Rand. large edi- ton printer; Nicholas S Stephenson machinists: George 0. Scott & Go. elec- trotypers: Fish Printing Go. All these firms carried insurance.

 The employees of the rubbing ,senart, ment at the clock case shop on Popd street have gone on strike and ar, likely to remain out until some under standing has been reached betweer them .,,, ana Superintendent Dennison me men say that the work is hard ana that by keeping at it all day at thu olu prlces they could make a coupE ol uoliars, but since the cut they couN not earn over $1.50. It seems th, Doss didn't stop at cutting prices fl TWO, as the sharp advertiser wouE say. but kept slashing right and lcf until the men could not tell where the, were at. Work they used to get S3.5t per hundred for was cut to S1 hun dred and so on, so that the help con ,cluded that there was no use trying ts stand it any longer and quit Saturday There were nine or ten men empIoyes on the job and all are out.

It is this kind of tactics that gives the unions their grip and fl it continues as it is likely to the time is not far off when every man wbs earns living by the sweat of hH brow will be glad to get an opportuE ity to join some sort of. an orgarsiz& ton which will help him to get enough in return for his labor to maintain himself and his family. With the cost of everything a man wants in bis home going skyward and the price of labor moving the other way. surely the prospect is not encouraging.

PACIFIC CABLE LANDED.

Slaughter of CaIifOrnia's Governor
 Christcns the Great News Carrier.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. Tn ile Pacific cable. May it always carry messag ges of happiness"
 With these words Lucille Gage, the tleven-y year-old daughter of H. E. Gage, governor of California, christened the transpacific cable and, breaking a bot tie of champagne over the shore end, inaugurated new era in the conner cial development Of the Pacific coast. The landing and splicing of the shore end. which is to connect the mainland with Honolulu, was accomplished with out hitch and was witnessed by nearly 10000 people. Ideal weather.preyailed there being scarcely any surf.
 The steamer Newsboy, carrying six miles of cable, steamed close inshore early in the morning and by a life say ing boats crew sent rope to which the cable was attached ashore. Word was sent to President Clarence H. Mackay and the cable and Postal Tel egraph officials that all was in readi- ness. The work of hauling in the cable was done So expeditiously that the of ficials arrived on the beach only two minutes before the cable, which touched the beach and was christened at 9:55 a. m. While the cable was be- ing spliced to the land end Mayor Schmitz delivered q short speech, con graduating MT. Mackay on the success full beginning of the work. He also spoke of the importance of the under taking and the benefit to the world at large that would result from it's com pletion.
 Clarence w. Mackay, president of the Pacific Commercial Cable compa- ny, thanked the mayor and those pres ent.
 Governor H. T. Gage on behalf of the state of California paid fervent trib- ute to the late John w Mackay. The formal exercises closed with cheers for the cable and all those taking part in it's landing.

ANOTHER MANIFESTO ISSUED
Venezuelans Object to Methods
 Adopted By Powers.

Bombardment of Puerto CabeIloa
 Made Without Previous Notice Being
 Given-They Claim It Was an Act
 Against the General Principles of
 Civilization.
 New York, Dec 15.-The following presidential manifesto is now being protusely distributed here, says a world dispatch from CaYacas:
 Another act ot very grave nature on the part of the perfidlous foreigner has just been etfecLed against the city Of Puerto Cabelloa, viz, the bo1nDardment Of that port by the combined fleets of England and Germany without any previous declaration of war or the full nllment of any of the formalities es- tablished by law for carrying on an act of force.
 It is 10 longer an act against the government and the people of Ven ezuela, but against the general prin- ciples of civilization and against those nations who have valuable assets in that port, and who, therefore, have a perfect right to expect the fultillment of the necessary formalities i'll such cases, which were utterly ignored, as no time was given for the withdrawal of women and children from the dan gers of the bombardment.
 This is not only coWardly, but it is an insult to all the nations, and I de- nounce it as such in the name of the principles of civilization professed by Venezuela.
 The august shades of our Iiberators are no doubt rising from their tombs. majestic and severe, to awaken in the Venezuelans in these solemn moments the love of their country, which is, once more under painful trial

SECOND VICTIM DEAD.

Edmund Hewitt, Injured in Power
 House Accident at New Britain.
 New Britain, Dec Edmund Hewitt, the second victim of the ex- plosion at the power house of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Co, died yesterday afternoon at '3:30 o'clock at the New Britain General hospital. The death of Hewitt com pletes the coincidence between the ex- plosion of last week and the one of several weeks ago. In both cases the accident was due to the giving way of connections with the boilers i'll . most inexp1icable way. Tn both cases there was delay and difficulty in getting the men to the hospital be- cause the city had no ambulance and to complete the similarity both vic tims in each explosion died in simi- lar manner. Tn each accident one man died soon and after a few days the other victim, when he was appar- |ently getting better, took a sudden turn for the worse and then passed |aWay.
 Edmund Hewitt was about 24 years old. He had been working for the company only about week as fireman when the accident happened. He came here from Bridgeport and with his wife lived in the Damon block on Church street His father and broth Ter were here from New Haven and were with him when he died. Now that both victims of the accident are dead Dr Lyon. the medical examiner, will forward their ante mortem state ments to Coroner Taintor with a com plete report of his own investigation as we'll as his recommendations as to the necessity of holding formal in-. quest.
