CONFIDENCE PREVAILS.
The Mayor Has the Situation Well
 in Hand.

Paterson, N J Feb. 10.-A feeling of confidence in the future pervades the minds of citizens of Paterson tonight Mayor Hinchliffe has the situation well in hand and to an offer of assistance which came from Mayor Low of New York an answer was returned containing thanks and the assurance that Paterson is managing to care for those in need.
 Money and securities said to amount to S, ,0o0, GOO were recovered from the two huge vaults under the ruins of the First National Bank this afternoon. Books. papers, bullion and paper money were found uninjured. Guarded by files of SOL diers with fixed bayonets, the treasure was conveyed to the Paterson Savings Institution in a two-horse dray.
 Buried beneath the ruins of the city hall were found the safes which belonged to the controllers office and in these also the papers, legal documents and public records were found unharmed. The safes of the Passiac Water Company, under the ruins of the building. which stood at Nos. 107 and 109 Washington Street, were destroyed and the only part of their contents recovered was $500 in silver.
 The greatest tangIe in city affairs will be in the tax office. So far as can be ascertained the records of the depart ment are destroyed. There is a set Of books which show the valuation, etc, of each piece of property in the city ana the assessors have their field books rom which all this could be duplicated with out overmuch work. It is said, however. that it is almost certain the records showing who paid their taxes and who had not, are destroyed and that there Is not in existence anything from which the information could be obtained.
 The work of clearing up the burned dis trict has not begun, but the firemen were busy until night with ropes and dyna- mite. tearing down the shaiSy walls that endangered those who had to be inside the burned area

consumed.
 Springfield, O.. Feb 10--The great East Street shops, built by William N. Whit ley. the Reaper King, at cost of $2 900, = 000 were destroyed by fire today, the loss being over $1, ,0O0, O00
 The shops were occupied by the Spring. field Foundry Company. Progress Stove and Furnace Company. Indianapolis Frog and Switch Company. Kyle Art Glass Company Kreil French Piano Company, Miller Gas Engine Company, Champion Chemical Company and Owens Machine Tool Company. The building vSas bought by Senator Fairbanks of Indiana ten years ago. Water pressure was fnsuffi- cient and hremen were handicapped from the start. Hundreds of buildings in the vicinity, many of them right across the street. were in imminent danger. Resi- dents were out dashing water against tn m and soaking the contents. As soon as the fire was discovered, one alarm after another was sent in. A wind from the west was sweeping the fire back over the wings to the rear.
 At 10 o'clock the whole front of the building which Is five stories high, was ablaze. Half an hour later the walls be- gan to tumble in. tons of them falling with a great crash at a time. The heat so SO intense that 200 feet away it was almost unbearable. The top of the Krell French Piano Company. part of the building, was the last front to catch fire. The fire burned downward and soon it was wrapped in flames. which rapidly spread to the rear.
 The fire started in the attic. Instead of going up. it burned downward. shoot ing down an elevator shaft. It spread rapidly to the part of the building rapidly to the part of the building occupied by the Owen Machine Tool Company. The wind swept it north and south through the building.

SCHOONER BURNED AT SEA.
Ice Prevents Life Savers From
 Reaching the Vessel.

Cape May, N. J., Feb. 10.-A three masted schooner, the name of which has not been learned. was burned at sea to- night The fire. which was plainly visi- ble from here. started about o'clock this afternoon and burned until after 9 o'clock.
 The schooIer was caught in the ice fields floating out of Delaware Bay. The crews of the life saving stations at Cape May Point. Cold Spring and Turtle Gut Inlet. attempted to go to the rescue of the sailors on the schooner. but ice pre- vented them from reaching the schooner. It is believed from what can be seen through glasses. that the men are in their small boats floating around in the ice waiting for assistance. The life sav- ing crews had not returned up to Il o'clock tonight.
 The vessel seems to be burned to the water line.

WILLIAM DID IT.
The Kaiser Prevented Interference in
 America's Plan.

Berlin, Feb. I0-The official North Ger man Gazette this evening joins In the controversy regarding the attitude or the several powers previous to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. It says Lord Pauncefote's proposal of April IA, 1898. to send collective note to the gov ernment of the United States declaring American intervention in Cuba to be nnjustihable, is a historical fact and The Gazette proceeds to characterize as ab- surd the 'attempt now being made to ob- scure and dispute an event which did not only occur in the presence of the repre- sentatives of the powers hut on which the representatives of all the powers at Washington. after reaching an agree
 nent. reported to their respective gov ernments April A. 1898. simultaneously and identically."
 The German official declaration In The North German Gazette is a direct conse- ouence of the incredulity expressed by American and English newspapers re- garding the disclosures from here or the action of Lord Pauncefote of April H. 1893. The correspondent of the Associat- ed Press learns that transcript of the dispatch from Dr. Holleben. the German Ambassador at Washington. communicat- ing the proposal of Lord Pauncefote. was sent to Emperor William immediately af- ter it's receipt and that the Emperor am notated his flat refusal on the margin of the message. The informant of the cor respondent added: "Rut for the action Of Emperor William. Lord Pauncefotes pro- posal would have been accepted by the other powers

England Claims Credit.

London, Feb. 10.-The efforts of the German official and SC ni-official press to reopen the controversy concerning the attitude of the powers toward the United States prior to the Spanish-American war are rapidly leadinr to complications which at least will be entertaining and which possibly nay have important de- velopments
 Henry Norman, M P, who on January %. first interpellated Lord Cranborne. Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs in tho House of Commons on this matter will ask Lord Cranborne tomorrow whether his attention has been called to the statements widely made in the Ger man press and alleged to have received official confirmation that Great Britain on April 14, 1898. through her ambassa- dor. proposed fresh joint note in which the powers should declare. that Europe did not regard the armed intervention of the United states in Cuba as justifiabl9 and that in consequence of Gerpnany's re- susal to accept this proposal, the step was abandoned s.4s.
 The Associated Press Is in a position to say that if the cabinet agrees to allow Lord Cranborne to mak4 frank answer to MT. Normans qaestions he will not give anything but 3 hat denial to the al- legations of the German press Accord ing to the Foreign Office it is inconceiv- able that Lord Pauncefote could have en- tered into any such negotiations are sug- eested hV the "e-man press and much less instigated them.

'cial DISPATCH TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. November 26-Speculation
was again confused by the unfortunate
disagreements among leading railroad and
financial interests and prices in the main
were lower. London sent over a lower range
OF prices and sold a few stocks In anticipa-
uon OF an advance in the Bank of Eng
lands minimum rate OF discount tomorrow
The leading foreign houses stated posi-
lively that no gold would be shipped during
the present week. but the announcement
had no marked effect The money market
does not relax, and time money is scarce.
This fact discourages new business and
the prospects are that there will be no ma
terial change for the better during the bal
ance Of the year. Public interest does not
Increase and and brokers are not urging
clients to assume new risks
The professional element sells on all rail-
lies, and is mistaken in it's belief that long
stock must be sold In volume before the
market rights itself
Manhattan stock rallied to top prices and
the manipulation was quite as fragrant as on
previous days.
Rumors that a prominent head Of west
ern railroad system was heavily short of
Manhattan as the result of the friction be-
tween the Goulds and certain business ri
walls lacked confirmation. but served a mar
ket turn. Any attempt to discipline Mr..
Gould for his circular on the subject of
Colorado Fuel would scarcely be conferred
upon the strongest and most worthy Of the
Gould properties.
More vulnerable issues are at hand for
such purposes and more plausible story
would undoubtedly have been supplied mad
the stock needed help from interests not
Identified with the manipulation. Union
Pacific was heavy and lacked support for
time, although there was some evidence
n q n IN q IN ard aE,,.&
Colorado Fuel was strong because of the
three-cornered fight now in progress and
the streets whimsical argument that so
many buyers indicate value. Sales OF the
stock four points under today's prices to be
delivered seller 90 were recorded
Baltimore and Ohio was heavy under pres
sure Of long stock although some excellent
buying OF quiet kind has been in progress
for several days Earnings for Norfolk
and Western, Southern and other properties
were decidedly favorable but the market
ignored them.
The hard coal shares were heavy as the
result of the decision of the operators to
make no concessions at this time
The industrial list was lower as the result
or selling based on probable antitrust de-
bate in Congress.
During the final hour official notice was
published of the lease of Manhattan ts the
marlborough company for 900 years. with
dividends guaranteed after 1905 at the rate
of per cent per annum.
From April. 1903. to January, 1905 will be
the net earnings of the Manhattan Com
pany. An increase In capitalization Of ST.
100000 will be prorated to present holders
