Ten Millions Burns Up

A great fire swept through Patter- son, N. J., Sunday and in its desolate wake are the embers and ashes of property valued at $10,000000.
 It burned it's way through the busi- ness section of the city, and claimed as it's own majority of the finest structures devoted to commercial, civic, educational and religious use, as well as scores of houses. There was but small tribute of life and injury tc the confagration, but hundreds were left homeless, and thousands without employment A relief movement for the care of those unsheltered and un- provided for has already been organ ized, and it is said that Patterson will be able to care for her own without appearing to the charity of other com munities and States.
 The great manufacturing plants of the place are safe, and the community, temporarily dazed by the calamity has already commenced the work of reor- ganization and restoration. The fire came at midnight, and was only checked after a desperate fight that lasted until late in the afternoon. Every city and town within reach of Paterson sent firemen and apparatus to the relief of the threatened city, and it took the united efforts of them all to win the battle.
 A northerly gale gave the conflagra- tion it's impetus, and carried it's burn ing brands to kindle the blaze afresh at other points. The firemen made stand after stand before the wall of fire, but were repeatedly driven back, and when aid finally came to them, they were grimed and exhausted.

Recognizes Our Normal School

President E. T. Pierce of the Los Angeles State Normal School, eXperl- enced a surprise last week, when he received from Scotland a request for a CODY of the Normal School annual cat alogue. The request came from Allan Arniel, honorable secretary of the Ed ucational Institute of Scotland, and in closed clippings from the Schoolmas- ter published in London, concerning this catalogue, in which it said:
 "One has a glimpse in such book a mere calendar of training college of the American temperament, clear, methodical, daring and delightful fn innovation; a temperament whose ef- fleets are shaking already the more sluggish blood of the older nations.'
 Of the Los Angeles Normal School the Schoolmaster says:
 "rh the matter of building, grounds, laboratories, amplitude of provision In every department of training college the elaborate completeness of its prac- tice schools and kindergartens, we know nothing at home to compare with it. There is a completeness about their arrangements that rather dwarfs our own nipping developments"
 It must be borne in mind that these comments are from a high-class edu- cational publication of London, Eng.

CAUSE OF BoER WAR
Free Trade and Straightforward Compe.
 titi0n Too Much for B0ers

Count Albert Sternberg, who took part in the Boar campaign, and who declares that the treatment he has received from the British press and official and non-of1icial Englishmen leaves him no cause to be an Anglo phobe, has written letter to the Lon don Times, in which he says that while England is hated, the English man is respected and loved.
 The economic advantage to be de- rived from the gold fields, says Count Sternberg, was merely contributary cause for the South African War. The real cause, making action imperative, was the English principle, the essence of which is free trade and straightfor- ward competition. On the continent this feeling is not understood, because the continent does not enjoy the bless ings of civilization and a government based on the word straight"
 Count Sternberg says he always thought England was the enemy of the continent until he visited the United States and studied the economic con- ditions there. He now believes that the continental hatred of England Is ungrateful, and that the continent ! ought to awake and recognize that its true enemy is arising in the West, like a great sun of gold whose first rays all ready have been projected across the Atlantic. Germany and all Europe should join with England.

CANAL TROUBLES FOR WALKER
May Be Called Before Senate For Refusal
 to Answer Questions

Admiral Walker, chairman of the lsthmian Canal Commission, may be hauled before the Senate for declining to answer questions asked by Senator Morgan, chairman of the Cimmittee on 1nter-Oceanic Canals.
 Senator Morgan during the hearing before his committee, asked Admiral Walker about the present status of the negotiations with the Colombian gov ernment. Admiral Walker declined to answer, saying he was acting in the matter as diplomatic agent and could not be examined by the committee in that capacity.
 The position of Admiral Walker is somewhat anomalous. He was in- structed by Secretary Hay to conduct negotiations with the Colombian Min ister until an agreement was reached which would be satisfactory to both, and then the Secretary was to take the matter up with the Minister and frame protocol.
 AS the Isthmian Canal Commission is under the jurisdiction of the State Department, Secretary Hay doubtless believed he had the right to designate Admiral Walker to conduct these pre- liminary negotiations. The contention of Morgan is that Walker is not a diplomatic agent.

Labor Law Knocked Out

The Supreme Court has handed down decision that materially curtails the authority of State Labor Commissioner in that it declares unconstitutional an act passed by the Legislature in Feb ruary, 1899, regulating the sanitary condition of workshops.
 In summing up, the court decides: "The manifest objection to the law is that upon the commissioner has been imposed, not the duty to enforce a law of the Legislature, but the power to make law for the individual, and to enforce such rules of conduct as he may prescribe. It is thus arbitrary, special legislation and violative of the Constitution"
