Manager Marshall Of the Union Mer-
camille company relates the most interest
ing and unusual circumstance Of the day.
There was a $500 insurance policy on his

pired at IL o'clock noon today. The COM
pany VIII get its money, as the place was
IN ashes by III a. m. Agent Dick COnley
was writing new policy for the same
amount when the fire broke out.
Alma Swenson IS a hard working citi-
zen. who had succeeded I'm getting him

merchandise store. His place was doomed
carly and for two OF three hours he
struggled 10 get some sugar and other
provisions out Of his store and up on the

The telephone connection between Mer-
cur and the outside world was not in
terrupted more than four hours. and then
only so Ear as the Rocky Mountain Bell
system was concerned. The private line
10 the telegraph office at Fairvicw was
always in operation, for the fire never
reached the depot That the Rocky
Mountain line was so promptly put in
condition was due to the efforts of G. +.
Baker, agent of the Telluride Power
Transmission company. Mr.. Baker
climbed a pole and twisted the broken
ends of 2 wire together. then slid down
with hardly trace Of skin on his palms.
10 Us a most remarkable fact that not a
single casualty has been reported The
explosions at the beginning OF the fire
were severe enough 10 break windows and
shake down electric lights and Chande-
tiers, but SO far as known. In all the
confusion and chaos that eusued nobody
was even injured. Even narrow escapes
were few and far between.
Landlord Thompson Of the Mercur ho-
Gel and saloon bad been carrying insur-
snce amounting TO $500. The policy
lspsed on Tuesday and Mr.. Thompson
was TO have met the agent at noon yes

we are confronted with two great and
serious problemS-from the adminiStra-
ton point of view, and that is appar-
emily the one most likely to give form
and color to the legislation now looked
for In other words, benevolent legiS-
lation of this sort must not, in it's
practical effects, put a single penny
into the pockets of the American re-
finers of raw sugar or of any other
American--it must go directly and sole
" into the pockets of the allegedly
suffering Cuban planters; and its ill
effects, if any, upon American indus
trial interests must somehow be reduc-
led to a minimum. This latter PROPOSE
ton is possible of accomplishment
only through mutual concessions to be
made by the opposing interests, whose
influence will presumably be a most
important factor in reaching an agree
ment in advance of official action by
Congress. The lengths to which such
concessions would go cannot be def
nitely forecast at this time.
The other proposition is easier: The
most practical plan would seem to be
one that comprehends the collection of
the regular duty on Cuban sugar as at
present: the observation-disclosures it is
to be sequestrated by the Secretary of
the Treasury; the resulting fund of
$40, 600, 900 or 10000 or $50, 000,-
600 q year to be passed over to a COM
mission or fiscal agent of the United
States who shall pay it back pro rata
directly to those Cuban planters who
actually exported the sugar to the
United States on which the duty was
collected, and all the expenses of in
vestigation, keeping tally and dis
bursement to be deducted from the
fund before distribution.

CUBAN SUGAR TRADE.

IObAN SUGAR. Trade.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Amer
lean Beet Sugar Association, by it's
president, Henry T. Oxnard, has sub
: mitted to the House committee on
ways and means a petition urging that
a committee be sent to Cuba for the
purpose of obtaining by actual inquiry
on the ground and by an examination
of the accounts of the Cuban sugar
factories, the facts in regard to the
Cuban sugar industry. The petition
suggests that the Investigations of the
special committee will be facilitated if
the committee be authorized to invite
representative of the American Beet
Sugar Association, Of the Cuban plant
ers and of the American Cane Growers
Association to accompany the commit
tee to Cuba and to cross examine wit
nesses. The petition states that while
General Wood in his letter to the Sena-
tors and Representatives asking con-
cesSionS for Cuba, says the cost of pro-
ducing sugar in the island is 2 cents
a pound, experts have testified that it
is from IL to IA cents, and the Cubans
are now making a small profit on their
product.

lminaries of a combination of northern

CONTEMPLATING DUTIES.

BERLIN, Feb. 10.-The newssreceived
here from the Brussels Sugar Confer
ence that Great Britain intends impos-
ing countervailing duty on sugar
against bounty-paying countries, has
alarmed the German and Austrian SUI
gar manufacturers. The delegates of
both countries met yesterday and dis
cussed the action to be taken. They re-
solved to do their utmost to prevent
the abolition of bounties at a moment
when the sugar industry is experience
ing q severe crisis and to appeal to
both governments to do nothing which
may disastrOusly affect the industry.
