1T WAS FULL TO ITS CAPACITY OF
Mailing BARLEY.
BELONGS TO A TRUST COMPANY
Firemen Had to Work to Great Dis
advantage Owing to the Great
Height Of the Building-Was
Fully Insured.
(By Associated Press.)

. chocdgo. Jan. IA loss estimated ut
nearly $50pO00 was caused by a fire
that broke out at las O'Clock this morn
ing in the plant of the J. w. Well branch
of the American Mailing company. The
property Is situated at Fifty-seeond
street ana the Panhandle railroad tracks.
The fire started in the elevator, a great
structure 15O feet high, covering an area
800 by 200 feet and having capacity
of 300,0 900 bushels of grain.
1T was filled with barley almost to its
capacity. The building and its contents
Is almost II total loss. Just south Of
the elevator are the Panhandle's freight
yards and at the outset of the fire there
was serious menace to a vast amount of
rolling stock.
The burning elevator sent great glare
aloft in the light Of which scores OF men

efforts to roll the Panaa freight cars

roof Of the elevator, large sheets of iron
plates fell firm the building and great

The sheet iron plates were red hot and
there was sufficient blaze to throw Them
clear of the building, endangering the
lives OF the men working near.

upwards of 100 years, Is dying at Castle
Point.
The date of his birth Is somewhat un-
certain, but it Is probably in 1895 or
1896. He was born in Hoboken of slave
parents, the property Of COL John
Stevens.
He became free in the course of years,
but only once was he separated from the
Stevens family. He declared he remem-
bers the general mourning for the death
OF George Washington, in December,
1899.
He can recall the days preceding steam

ERIE SYNDICATE SECURE CON-
TRoL OF WATERWAY.
RUN BY ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Will Land Goods at English Inland
Towns-Now Merely a Question of
Securing the Consent of the
British Parliement.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 14.--One of the most inn
portant of American commercial enter
prises in Europe has just eliminated
here.
1t consists in the securing of all water
routes for American cargoes for grain
and other commodities from inland ports
dn the United States to inland ports In
Europe and embraces the purchase by
American capital of several British and
other canals.
Frank w. Hawley, vice-president OF
the Erie Canal Traction company, has
been on this side several months quietly
securing concessions for the operation
of European canals by electricity. The
Erie concern today secured control OF
about 5000 miles of canals in England
and on the continent. AS a result car
goes win shortly be shipped on the same
bill of lading from Duluth. Minnesota, to
Brussels. Ghent and Cologne, aud later
to many points In the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Italy.
The power plants Will be erected with
American capital, though their control
VIII nominally remain In British hnnds.
Mr.. Hawley said today to a reporter:
"Yes, 1t is true that the traction com
pany Is making considerable progress In
securing all-water routes by electrically
operated canals through Europe. ! can
not tell you the names of the English
canals which will figure in parliament.
Get Consent of Parliament.
There are in the United Kingdom
1l3S miles of canals, owned by railroads
which do not make very good financial
showing; but 276S miles of English
canals indeDendent of railroadg show
earnings of E729 per mile, which are
greater than those shown by many
American railroads.
However, we have been able to get
control of only portion of those. be-
cause their operation and maintenance
expenses are over 20 per cent of their
gross receipts. The largest canals In
England, vlx: the Birmingham, Grand
Junction, Leeds and Liverpool, Oxford
and Bridgewater, are not far removed
from the sources OF electric power sup
ply, at least nothing like so far removed
as the canal at Oakland. California,
where the power Is transmitted from the
Yuba river distance OF 40 miles.
Therefore, II Is merely a question of
getting the necessary consent or parlla-
ment for the conveyance of this electric
energy before the English canals will be
equal to the canals of America and Bel
GUM, where electric energy has re-
suited in increased facilities"

LONDON TIMES MAKES OUT A
CASE AGAINST GERMANS.
SCATTERED ON THE STREETS
Newspapers Deprecate Times ArticlS
as Unwise and Say That No Good
Can Come Of Setting English and
and German Peoples by the Ears.

London, Jan. 14.--A remarka BILE artf-
Gle appears In the Times under the cap
tion, Literature of German Anglopho-
bia," recounting the character OF the
anti-British cartoons which have ap-
peared In the German newspapers which
the Times says. "in coarseness, obscenity
ana venom are without a parallel In
modern times"
The wisdom of the publication of the
articles at this juncture is much ques-
TONED. The Star says: The Times to-
day of all days, begins a series of arti-
cles on the offensive German caricatures.
Every newspaper has long been aware
of these caricatures. but the RESPONSE
BILE journals have not advertised these
insults simply because no good could be
done by setting the British and German
people by tfn ears.
Hounding toward an Abyss.
"The Times ought 70 hesitate before 1t
deliberately iogs the passion of The peo-
pie. Are our publlcists dead? Cannot
they see the abyss towards which they
arc bounding this long suffering ma
tion?"
The Times article says: The papers
are not gutter-sheets, but are sold
everywhere at the stations of the state
railroads. even Mt Potsdam station,
where the emperor Is constantly travel
ing. He was finally Obliged to person
ally order their removal.
