An Important
REMNANT DAY

feet goods. Hence one day friday OF each
week is given over to tho selling OF remnants
fragments, odds and ends, short lengths,
broken lines, incomplete assor.ments, imper.
feet goods and nything that mSy DO termed
q remnant.
This weeks remnant sale Is especially In.
tereIting, because Of the great variety Of the
assortment and the littleness Of the prices
and because the several classes OF goods offer
cd are worthy, and such az are in broad and
immediate demand. Thus the buying oppor-
tunities sfJrdsd are unusually attractive.

FIRE | IN ATLANTA
A Half Milhon-Doll Blaze Lays
Waste Nearly a Block Of
Buildings.
The Williams Hotel Burns and the
Kimball House Is Filled
With Smoke.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 9.-The most disas-
trous fire in the history Of Atlanta to-
day laid waste nearly a block Of buildings
in the heart of the city. The fire broke
out at o'clock this morning In the fur
niture store Of the Shook & Austin COM
pany, on Whitehall street. A strong
northwest wind aided the fire and sent
showers of sparks in every direction.
The fire soon spread to the NOrcross
building. on the corner Of Marietta and
Peach Tree, and in turn to the large drug
house Of the Jacobs company on Marietta
street, the liquor store Of the P. M. Rose
company and the Williams hotel.
There was no loss Of life SO far as
known, although Captain sJoyner of the
fire department expressed some apprehen-
sion for the safety of all the guests at
the Williams hotel. There was consider
able excitement among the guests Of the
Klmball house, half a block away, as the
sparks and flames were blowing IN that
direction, but the iron windows We're
closed and the guests suffered little In
convenience beyond the smoke in the
building. The windows Of the ten-story
Peters building, which was only recently
completed. were burst out by the heat and
other damage was done the structure
The Norcross building was filled with the
offices of professional men, and the entire
sixth floor was used as restaurant. l,
is rumored that several people were sleep
ing in the Norcross building who have
not been seen since the fire broke out, but
this lacks confirmation. The loss at this
time is estimated at half a million dollars

TAKES BRACES PLACE -
Consul Rublee on His Way From
Hongkong to Havana.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Dec. 9.-Consul General
William A. Rublee Of Havana. who was
recently transferred from Hongkong, was
in Milwaukee to-day with his family. He
will probably report to Washington in per-
son before the end of the week, and find
out how soon it will be necessary for him
to reach his new post. Jack" Bacon OF
Milwaukee, vice consul at ,Hongkong, is
now in full charge Of affairs at. that con-
sulate, and will remain in charge until
the new consul general, General Bragg,
reports for duty -
Mr.. Rublee left IIongkong over a. month
ago, and if Bragg should start for his
post at once it would be fully thirty days
before he could reach it. Bacon Is a
young man. who has been in service about
a year, but he is said to have mastered
the work of the consulate and to be per-
fectly capable of filling the place, tenn
porarly. at least. 49, :. +
f.. 1t has not been decided whether Bacon
will stay at Hongkong OR not, but 1t is
proba BILE that General Bragg, who IS en-
tirely unfamiliar with the country and the
office, will not dismiss him. Mr.. Rublee
makes no comment whatever upon his
transfer. which was due, it will be re-
membered, to the fact that Bragg became
dista steful to the Cubans. 8.

SOCIALISTS IN THE FIELD
Encouraged Even by Conservatives
Trouble for New B. G. Premier.

Special to The journal. <, . ~:
Vancouver, Be, Dec. 9.-To oppose the
newly appointed provincial secretary G. r.
E. McInnes, son of a deposed ex-governor,
in the colliery district of Nanaimo, Van
couver Island. who has an appointment to
office to seek reelection. a socialist Welsh
miner, named Parker Williams. is being
put up. So strong is the feeling against
the Prior government among its various
opponents, that even some conservatives
will adopt what is regarded from their
standpoint. a dangerous course and
strongly support socialist. The social
lists will probably put several candidates in
the field at the next general election in
this province with a policy even in ad-
vance Of that of the populists. -

PUSHING IT THROUGH
Mr.. Hay Goes on With the Treaty
and Expects Colombia to-
Ratify It.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-William e. Curtis, in
a Washington special to the Record Her
aid. says:
Secretary Hay will go on making trea-4
ties with Cuba and Colombia regardless
of the threatening attitude of the Cuban
congress and the fact that Colombia has;
no congress at all. and is not likely to-
have one until midsummer, for that is
no business of, ours. The treaties will be
concluded and signed and submitted for
the ratification of the senate. -
The charge daffares of Colombia, Mr..
Herran, Is reasonable and intelligent
gentleman. with practical ideas and pro-
gressiye. disposition. He was educated in
the United States and has spent a good
part of hts life in Germany and this coun-
try, so that he knows what is best for
| his country. Further his instructions
by Colonel Hay and rejected by Senior
| Concha, the late minister, who has gone
home In a huff The question of sover-
eighty will be solved without violence to
! the Colombian constitution by giving the
United States a lease for a hundred years
to the territory required for the canal,
with an option for a renewal OF another
100 years, and by that time Secretary Hay.
thinks it would be safe to negotiate an
other treaty. The financial question, is
also settled. Colombia is to receive
/ 81 OOO, 900 in cash as a bonus and $1,000
| IL
ping. The bonus is very much needed by
the Colombian government. It has not
been able to- collect any taxes for several
years and has been trying to run on fat
money, without much success. There has
been plenty of it., for paper and ink are
cheap and printing presses arc plenty
but it is not. worth much. Exchange is
something like 500 per cent and the money
could not be worth much less. It is about
| as useful as Confederate bills were in
| April, 1865. It is difficult to get anybody
to take it, and when it is accepted in trade
a. pair Of boots cost $4,000 or $4,000 and a
plate of pork and beans $780, Under these
circumstances a Wfndfall OF $1,000, 900 will
come in ha ldy: - kills. =
The congress Of Colombia will have to
ratify the treaty to make it good, but
there is no danger Of it's refusal to do so
with 81 900, 900 awaiting its action. The
congress has not met for four years, but
| the president has promised to order an
election as soon as arrangements can be
made, and it can probably assemble by
| the LIST Of June. .-3-..
President Palma will sign the treaty
which General Bliss has been making at
Havana, but will not. submit it to the
Cuban congress until after it has been
ratified by the senate Of the United States.
The Cuban congressman have been act
f. ing in an unfriendly manner, but they
have had good reason because Of the in
difference and opposition shown by our
government toward their interests, and it
is believed that: their mood will change
when we show little generosity T.
