Washington. February 9.-The condition change of any importance, and as it is probable in the nature of the illness that it will be several days or more before the outcome will be apparent, the President is not likely to return to Washington from Groton, Mass. until at least the end of the week This afternoon the White House made public the following message re- ceived from Groton
 "rhe President saw his son shortly after arrival here. Boys conairion is unchanged but he is holding his own we'll"
 Groton. Mass, February 9,-President Roosevelt, upon his arrival at the Groton school. at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon. did not find his son. Theodore, Jr.. alarmingly ill with pneumonia, but the boys condi- tion was not sufficiently reassurring to warrant the Presidents immediate return to the national capital. Mrs. Roosevelt has been with her son for two days.
 He greeted his father cheerily this aft ernoon.
 Tonight it was stated that his condi- ton is unchanged and he is holding his own well. The school has been dismissed, and the 150 boys have scattered to their homes upon an enforced vacation.
 All the sick boys are having the best medical attention and nursing. The Pres ident's stay here is indefinite. although It is not believed it will be prolonged much after Wednesday unless the boys condi- tion takes a turn for the worse
 A number of the boys have contracted colds during the past three or four weeks, probably from strenuous exercise and lack of caution afterwards. Only four, however, contracted pneumonia, although one case resulted fatally, that of Edward Hodges. who died about ten days ago.

STREET ARcHED BY
 CANOPY OF FIRE.

Main street was soon arched over with a canopy of fire for a block and then for two blocks. The fremen fought desper- ately but the flames found new avenues in Ellison and Market streets and got beyond all control. Calls for relief went out to every city in this portion of the state. The city hall a magnificent struc- ture. surmounted by a great clock tower. situated on Washington. Ellison and Market streets, finally caught and with it went all of the splendid business structures that surrounded it.
 There was series of explosions and scores of walls fell when the fire left them strengthless Flying fire brands carried the cenhagration over some build ings and around others and it therefore burned in an irregular course. These brands finally cleared the tracks of the Erie railroad and Ramapho avenue and alighting on Straight street, started an- other great fire, in which the destruction and desolation wrought was nearly as great as in the other.
 This second great fire started at the angle of Park avenue and Washington street and swept almost unchecked until on three thoroughfares there was no more fuel. On the right hand side of Market street it encountered Sandy City cemetery as barrier to check it, but on the left hand side at Carroll street it claimed St. Joseph's church, a gres classic stone building.
 The final and one of the most desper- ate fights of the day occurred in mid afternoon back in the first fire area at the Hamilton Club situated at the corner of Church and Ellison streets. A tor rent of water kept the fire to the prem ises but the interior was completely hurned out

GAINED HEADWAY
 BEFORE DISCOVERED.

The fire started about 3:30 a. m, when but few persons were abroad and gained considerable headway before 1t was dis covered and the alarm given. When the engines reached the scene the whole front of the building was in flames, and the in- terior was a seething furnace. By that time all who escaped death had gotten out of the building by jumping from windows. climbing down ropes made of bed clothes. few escaped from the ground floor through the front door. All most everybody who got out suffered some injury or was frost bitten. The guests barely had time to get out when aroused. the flames having spread so rap- idly.
 Some saved their clothing but others lost everything. After some delay nearby houses were opened to the unfortunates and they were given shelter from the bit ing cold weather. 1t was one of the cold est nights of the winter. the ground being covered with ice and snow and every one suffered from exposure. Harry Cline. Walter Johnson, Henry Robinson and an unknown man, who died later. were taken to the City Hospital. Robinson recovered enough to be taken home.
 After a short fight the firemen got the flames under control and assisted by the police, made a search of the ruins. The first body found was that of John c. Lueders who was killed by Jumping from the third story. Sarah Harris was found on the first floor. Her body had been burned The remains of the other victims were found in their rooms where they were suffocated or burned.

THE HOuS E.

Washington. February 9.-A varied pro- gramme confronts the House for the coming week. Owing to the absence of large number of Republicans who will go to different points of the country to par ticipate in the celebration of Lincolns birthday on Wednesday, consideration of the bill to repeal the war taxes will be postponed until next week. Tomorrow is District of Columbia day. On Tuesday consideration of the oleomargarine bill will be resumed. The passage of the bill by a good majority is considered assured. The committee on war claims will have a day following the disposition of the oleomargarine bill and the latter part of the week will probably be devoted to consideration of the Indian. postoffice, or army appropriation bill and all of which are expected to be reported earlier in the week.
