 BY THE FuRIousaFLAmEs @.1s ss,

Cumberland, Md, February :. - At 5 o'clock this morning the farm house of William P Robertson. about 29 miles east of here on the Maryland side of the Po7' tomac river was entirely destroyed by fire and four of the Robertson children Pearl, Owen, Fife and Joseph. the oldest aged and the youngest aged years were cremated.
 The fire, which is thought to have started from sparks from an open hearth, spread so rapidly that MT. and Mrs Rob- ertson found all means of scape for the children, who were asleep in another room, cut off. and were compelled to jump from, second-story window dressed only in their night clothes in order to rave their own lives. The parents made several attempts to reach, the children. but were driven back by the flames, and after the fire had subsided somewhat they were almost frozen before aid came from neighbors.
 The tragedy recalls the murder Of an old man named Kessler and the burning of his house. also the burning of the house of an old woman in which she and Ter grandchildren lost their lives, both of which occurred several years ago in the vicinity of this mornings fire

CHICAGO SUFFERS
 FROM MORE FIRES
Two Buildings Destroyed With an Estimated Aggregate Loss of $40,
 oo0-Firemen and Others Hurt.

Chicago, February Fire this morn- ing destroyed the Sanborn building 3S Randolph street, and almost occasioned a panic among the tenants of the twelve story Trude building which adjoined the burning structure, and among the em- ployes of the cloak factory of Marshall Field & Company. The fire started in the paints and oils of the George F. Wat son Company, which occupied the first two floors. and destroyed the stock of George F. Rasche & Company. pianos, which occupied the three opper floors. In the Trude building several hundred pupils of the Chicago Business College marched out in good order. One woman almost suffocated and was carried out by fire men, but soon revived. Small explosions among the paints in the fire frightened spectators and several firemen were hurt by falling bricks. The damage to the stock and buildings was about s60,000

LARGER ARMY POSTS
 ARENOW NECESSARY
SINCE UNITED STATES BECAME A WORLD POWER THE PRESENT BARRACKS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE TROOPS.

Chicago, February Maj jor- General Otis, commander of the department of the lakes, has returned from Washington, where he was in attendance on the ses- sions of the army post board. called by the secretary of war to consider the needs of the different army posts.
 As to the recommendations of the board, General Otis said 1t would not be proper to speak in advance of the report to the secretary of war. It is underst ood, how ever, says the Chronicle, that the bar racks at Fort Sheridan will be enlarged and made modern in every respect. Since the United States became a world power and troops are required for work abroad the posts throughout the country have been found too small for the accommo- dation of the regiments and batteries re- cruited to fighting strength. In addition to Fort Sheridan, many of the other army posts will be enlarged.
 That the work at the fort will be under taken at once Is said to be assured
 '"The movement of troops is at present the business of most pressing importance in this department" said the general All of the Twentyninth Infantry is to be sent to the Philippines very shortly The place of the present garrison of Fort Sheridan is to be filled by the Twentieth, which is now on its way home from the Philippines. one battalion having sailed about the end of December and two others January IS.
 The post must have accommoda tions for larger number of men than it can now take care of properly"

Gould it Is alleged. claims that had it not been for the blowing up of the bank safe short time ago. in which his private books where he kept a record of all the forged notes were destroyed he would not have been detected and he would be still running the bank.

ADMIRAL WALKER ON
 VARIOUS CANAL ROUTES

Admiral Walker was also questioned re- garding the possibility of utilizing the Chagris river as part of the canal. He admitted that it is a torrential stream. but expressed the opinion that it could be safely confined. With reference to that estimate that ten years would be neces- sary to build the Panama canal, while eight years would suffice for the construc- ton of the canal by the Nicaragua route. He said the difference in the Panama route was due largely to the extent of the great Cutabuara cut and the Bohio dam. He thought that in ordinary weather steam vessels would be able to make their way through the Panama canal without being lowed, but that towage might be necessary when the winds are high.
 He expressed the opinion that Brito harbor at the Pacific end of the Nicara- qua route would possess an advantage over the Panama route in that vessels would immediately avail themselves in the former of the trade winds. while In Panama bay they would not secure this advantage until well out to sea. How ever, he thought good harbors could be cheaply secured by the western terminals of both routes.

 Recommendations for the improvement of the system of signals are made and the commission approves the proposed underground loop for suburban traffic It declares that the number of trains run through the tunnel is necessary because of the demands of traffic, and says that the time is not many years distant when, even with the contemplated improve ments in operation, the increasing trat- fc of the great city and of this trible railroad terminus. will require enlarged and better facilities The commission points to the interesting fact that in 1901 there were 177, ,450 trains moved through the tunnel. an average over 4S6 per day Therefore the commission says the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel at Balti- more and the Liverpool tunnel under the river Mersey bear no comparison to the New York Central tunnel in respect to traffic.
