PROTECT BOTH
 BLACK AND WHITE
QUESTION OF SOUTHERN ELEC- TON METHODS BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEEMAN HAMPSHIRE MEMBER CHAMPIONS BLACKS.

Washington, February S.-The bill sup ported by a number of Southern Repub- lican Representatives proposing strong Federal election law against intimidation ballot frauds etc, was considered today by the House committee on election of President and Vice President. Messrs. Bartholt of Missouri and Gibson of Ten nessee, who have assisted in framing the proposed bill. were heard on the extent of the election irregularities in their states and elsewhere in the South.
 They explained the alleged partisanshir of election boards as made up by the Governor, and also recited recent decis- ions of the courts which showed they con tended that the judicial branch took rath- CT a lenient view of ballot box irregulari- ties.
 Mir. Gibson said it was bad enough to deny the franchise to the negro. but when the white man was also denied the fran chise the situation became intolerable. This drew spirited rejoinder from Rep resentative Subway of New Hampshire who maintained that black and white alike were entitled to protection in exer- cising the franchise.
 The hearings will continue next Thurs day.

DISASTROUS FIRE
 IN PATERSON, N. ].
AT EARLY HOUR THIS MORNING FLAMES ARE BEYOND CON- TROL AND WIND IS AIDING THE WORK OF DESTRUCTION.

New York. February 9.-Fire broke out shortly after midnight in the car sheds at Paterson, N. J., and the flames, driven by brisk wind, spread to the surround irg buildings. At this hour it seems as though the fire is getting beyond control The First Baptist church is burning and it is feared the loss will be enormous Even an approximate estimate now is i'm possible.
 At this hour the Baptist church has been completely gutted. The flames have started from a dozen different directions in the vicinity and the wind is adding to the fury of the flames.
 The police report no fatalities so far. The office of the Paterson Guardian Is burning and that of the Call is threat ened The electric lighting system is completely disabled and the town is in darkness
 Assistance has been called from nearby towns and there is a panic amongst the citizens. The old city hall one of the most ancient structures in Paterson, is doomed. The dan1? ge w.ll amount up into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 At this time the firemen have no con- trol of the fire.

Law Prohibiting. Holding Civil Office Does Not Apply in Philippines.

Washington, Febraury S-Secretary Root has rendered a decision on an in- teresting question raised by General Chaffee, commanding the military forces in the Philippines It appears that in many instances in the establishment of civil government in the provinces army officers who have been administering semi-civil functions. have been elected to office by the natives.
 In relating these facts to the Secretary of War, General Chaffee inquired if the general statutes of the United States prohibiting army officers from holding civil positions in the United States ex- cept in certain specified cases will be ap- plicable to civil offices in the Philip pines under existing conditions. Secretary Root has cabled General Chaffee that the War Department does not consider the statutes in question as applying to such cases in the Philippines

 HE'S MISUNDERSTOOD
Did Not Wish to Cast the Slightes Reflection on the Laboring Man
 of America-is Surprised.

Washington, February S.-The Chinese minister MT. Wu, made the following statement today intended to correct a statement that he regarded misinterpre- tation of his attitude toward the labor ing men of the United States regarding the Chinese exclusion act The minister said:
 There seems to be some misunder- standing in regard to the letter l wrote the state department in regard to the Chinese exclusion act now before Con- gress. I am told that the impression pre- vails that I antagonize the laboring men of this country. That is not true. I have never said anything to cast the slightest reflection upon the laborers of America who are useful members of a community. Why, even in China, according to our classification of profession, theNworking- man ranks higher than the merchant and the tradesman. This shows how China appreciates him, and nothing was further from my thoughts than to say any thing which could be construed as refecting upon ellis class"
