yesterday morning aggregate about $4,000.
The loss on the livery stable was figured at
y 1900. divided as follows: Building. 5000;
horses. 5000. and vehicles. 5000. The stable
was owned and operated by Arson j. Gard
ner. whose loss is fully covered by in
surance. Among the horses and vehicles
burned were many belonging to citizens.
some Of whom carried insurance. Fred
c. Gardner's business block was damaged
to the extent of 5000. wholly covered by in
surance. Charles d. Citizens. a tailor and
haberdasher, lost about $500. with insur-
ance Of $3.50. J. c. Stark, whose residence
was burned, lost about 1900, partly covered
by insurance. Frank Spaulding. living with
his wife and two children over the Citizens
store, lost all his effects and $23S in savings.
After getting out with his family he re-
money, but before he could get to ii his
exit was cut off by the flames and he was
obliged 10 escape by the roof. DR.. Stew
arts residence was badly damaged. The
business block of Thomas J. Cook, 'front.'
ing on Sixteenth street, was slightly dam
aged. and small losses by water were Occa-
stoned a number Of tenants.
Sparks from the stable set fire to a num-
Der OF the houses in the square. but the
vigilance of owners prevented any of them
becoming serious. Fires were also started
III several SINAI stables IN the nelBuDOT-
hood. II was thought for a time the fire
would spread to other dwellings,, and own
ers carried out much household furniture

Telephone and telegraph wires interfered
materially with the work of the hremen,
several of whom were knocked down by
the shock when coming in contact with
wires on the, Cook building. The current
was finally turned off.
The origin Of the fire is unknown. Some
Of the men about the stable think ii was of
incendiary origin. They say there was but
one gas jet burning in the stable, and it
was where nothing of an inflammable ma
ture could get near ii.

Professor Moore's Promotion.

1t may be of interest to the friends of
Mr.. George Thomas Moore, a former resi-
dent of Indianapolis and a graduate of
Wabash College, TO know that he is now
connected with the government Agricul-
tural Department as expert algologist, and
that he and Mrs. Moore. who was Miss
Emma l.. Hall. of this city. are living i'm
Washington. He has recently been chosen
one of seven American editors for the
BOtanisches Centralblatt, which is the prin-
cipal botanical journal of the world and
is published in Holland. The division of
botany, which Mr.. Moore is to edit. is the
Algae and Archegeniatae. The status OF
the Centralblatt central Sheet and the
standing of the other American editors is
such that the position is one of no incon-
siderable honor and influence. The other
six American editors. each of a special
division Of botany, are: Professor Ire
lease. head of the Shaw Gardens. of St.
Louis; Professor MacDougal. head of New
York gardens at Bronx Park; Professor
Chamberlain. of Chicago University: Pen
hallow. of McG University. in Montreal:

Church yesterday. While no official call
has been extended to Mr.. Jones 1t is said

charge because Of many improvements
made recently and Of a new mission lust
starting.
Ii is now certain the committee will look
elsewhere for a pastor. II is said there are
at least fifty names to be considered.

There are exceptions to the rule in both
cases, but, taking them as they come, the
Filipinos must be classed as fish without
any choice on our part, while the inhabi-
tants of Porto Rico have already attained
the dignity of flesh by their clinical de-
VelCpment. So. while we are required to
treat the latter as flesh from the begin

feared that we may be compelled 10 regard
the former as fish for a good many years
TO come.

THE M0HEY RATIO
 DOESN'T 60
An Arrangement for the P hilippine
 Disregarded

Manila. Jan. 7.-Numerous meetings Of merchants and others have been held recently at which resolutions were passed, urgently requesting congress sional action to meet the financial sit uation here. Since the ratio was of acialiy changed on January 1, for the first quarter of 1902. to be S2.lO MeXi- can silver to one American gold dollar. business transactions pf any sort have become difficult. The business houses have raised prices from , to 10 per cept, and some houses refuse to a"- cept any but American coin. which 1t is difficult to obtain, owing to the vast speculative shipments Of coin during the past few months.
 Some banks refuse to recognize the government ra.:o and are fixing their own ratio Of American gold dollars to Mexican silver dollars. Even the governments American employees, whose salaries are payable in Mexican dollars, object to the change, owing to the large increase in gold.
 The leading banks refuse to handle government checks. not because they have any doubt oT obtaining money. but because of the frequent delays over triainS irregularities. The postal au- thorities refuse to accept Mexican dol lars for American dollars at any ratio.

BREAK UP AT MEXICO
 OVER RESPIRATION
One Side or the Other Will Withdraw
 From the Conference.

Mexico City, Jan. 1.-The arbitration situation has reached a crisis. Today the Central and South Americans op- posed to the Chilians held frequent meetings to decide on a form of pro- cedure under which they will introduce an arbitration plan into the conference. IL they canont find q form acceptable to the other delesa tions they will prob ably withdraw.
 The Chilians have presented to the officials Of the conference a memoran- dunn stating that if anything whatever of a compulsory plan is presented to the conference they will withdraw. In making this statement the delegates of ChiI recall the conditions under which Chili accepted an invitation to the con ference. viz: That if any attempt was made to introduce into the conference veXatious questions for the purpose of covertiy or openly antagonizing Chili the delegates of that country would ba withdrawn.
 The object that the Mexican delesa- ton and w. I. Buchanan, the American member of the arbitration committee. have been pursuing during the recent negotiations has been to find q method by whicn compulsory plan might be introduced in such a maner as to satisfy it's advocates and at the same time avoid the separation of the Chilians. Now that the latter say that in what ever form such a plan is introduced they will withdraw, the friends of the compulsory plan are all the more in sistent to have their convention intro Guced into the conference concurrentlv a:fd, on exactly the same footing as the project by which all agree to adhere to The Hague convention. If they have their way and the ChIIians carry out their threat, the conference will have to finish it's labors without the Chilians.

My Sweetheart.

Twas a quaint rhyme scrawled in spelling
book,
And handed to me with bashful look.
By my blue-eyed sweetheart so fondly true,
In the dear old school days long years ago
''If you love me as love you
No knife can cut our love in two."
That SANDERS. Speller," so tattered and torn,
Has always halo of romance worn,
And never poet with honeyed pen
Has written so precious rhyme since then
"If you love me as love you"
All, dear, you know did, do
I've kept it safely for many year
This dog g's-eared, shabby old spelling book, dear
And now, as hold it within my hand,
Again in the schoolroom seem to stand
Reading once more with rapture new
eff you love me as love you."
How some foolish saying from out the past
Like rose branch is over the pathway cast,
And the time of flowers, we still remember
Till the winds blow cold in the bleak December
God grant it always may be true
THAT you love me as love YOU"
