THE DAMAGE YET UNKNOWN.
The Fire in the Atlantic Coast Line Offices ct
Wilmington
Especial to the News and Observer)

Especial to the News and Observer)
Wilmington, n c., Nov. 24.-An AS
sociated Press telegram from Whining
tton early yesterday morning briefly told
of fierce fire that was raging at 2:
o'clock in the passenger station of the
Atlantic Coast Line III this city. The
fire is thought to have Started from
spontaneous combustion in an oil and
waste room in the basement OF the build
ing and it was nearly o'clock when the
flames were finally under control. For
a time the passenger shed of the COM
pany and part of the shop buildings
were threatened. Under the shed were
a number of private cars belonging to
officials of the road which were quickly
shifted out into the yards beyond danger.
In the building which was destroyed
We're the offices of the general purchas-
ing agent of the system and also that
of the general storekeeper of the COM
pany In these offices We're millions of
blanks, books, office supplies, etc, and
it will be several days before anything
like a correct estimate of the damage
can be made Temporary quarters for
the burned offices have been established
in a store room i'll the Atlantic Inn
building, opposite the general offices on
Front street The fire will cause great
Inconvenience all along the line of the
road, as many of the blanks, etc., were
to be sent out on the supply train on
the first of the month.

WAR ON THE MORMON
APOSTLE.
Ministerial Alliance Opposes
Smoot's Election to the
Senate.
(By the Associated Press

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov 24.-The
Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake today
adopted resolutions strongly opposing the
proposed election to the United States
Senate of Reed Smoot,' one of the twelve
apostles of the Mormon church. A copy
of the resolutions will be sent to every
Ministerial Alliance of prominence in
the country at once, and also probably to
President Roosevelt, every Congressman
and United States Senator, and every one
prominent in political life. The resolu-
tions, in part, follow:
1--WE protest against this endeavor to
elect Apostle Smoot to the United States
Senate as an endeavor to force upon the
citizens of Utah a union of the church
and the State.
The election of a man who holds the
highest office save one in the gift of the
Mormon church to the highest office save
one in the gift of the people of Utah or
the United States would be a menace to
our civilized and religious beliefs. No
ether churcn has dared to attempt such
an ecclesiastical invasion of Congress.
''The election of Apostle Smoot for the
United States Senate would virtually be
the election of the will of the Mormon
first presidency and twelve apostles to
that body.
"As a consistent member of the Nor
mon apostolate, Apostle Smoot cannot
make an important move without get
ting permission or taking counsel of the
quorum Of Mormon high priests to which
he belongs. BY virtue Of his apostolic
VOWS he must act first as Mormon
apostle and second or third as a citizen
of Utah and patriotic American.
''We protest against the proposed cleo
tion of Apostle Smoot to the United
States Senate because the majority of
the Mormon apostolate to which he be-
| longs, and with which he works in har-
mony, are living in polygamous relations
in violation of covenants made to the
people of the United States as we'll as in
violation OF the criminal statutes of
Utah. The two or three apostles who may
be living homogeneous lives are obliged
to defend the righteousness of the polyga-
nous system Of marriage and to wink
Pat the law breaking polygamous relation
OF their fellow apostles.
"The Mormon apostolate stands as one
man before the community as directly or
indirectly encouraging or conniving at
the continuance CT polygamous relations
throughout the Mormon church. The
vigorous and rigorous execution of the
law like the Edmunds- -Lucks law in this
State would drive the Mormon church and
the majority of it's apostles into exile or
throw them into prison within twelve
months and Apostle Smoot dare not op-
pose such polygamous conditions.

Cologne, Nov. 24.-In an evidently in
spired note, the Cologne Gazette today
says:
England should certainly teach Vene-
zuela sharp lesson, since President Cas-
tro refuses to recognize the demands of
Jusllce and equity. Germany and other
states nave also serious grounds for com
Ilalnt, and it is time the relations of
Venezuela towards foreign powers should
be defined"
Washington, Nov. 24-The State De-
partment is thoroughly well-informed of
the length to which Great Britain. Ger
many, and other European powers pro-
pose to go in their dealings with Vene-
zuela. Great Britain and Germany have.
in fact, sounded the department to learn
whether any objections would be made to
active measures on their part to secure
the collection of debts due their citizens
on account of violated concessions and
the destruction of their property incident
to the internal dissensions which have
ragged in Venezuela for several years past
The department. has been extremely eau
tious i'll dealing with these inquiries
but the substance OF its replies in all
cases has been set out in the declaration
of President Roosevelt that the United
States did not construe the Monroe Doc
trine to mean that it should shelter any
of the American republics against the
results of cheir own misdeeds or viola
tions of international amenty. The only
condition made by the President was that
the punishment inflicted upon any of these
South and Central American republics
by a European power must not include
the seizure by hat power of any Ameri-
can soil.
