was destroyed. Practically the business
district of the town burned. All Of the
buildings were frame and as the town
lacked dre-fighting appliances, the citi-
zens, who formed bucket brigades, had a
hard time staying the progress of the
flames.
The fire started in Costons saloon,
which burned like finder, setting fire to
adjoining buildings. A strong wind helped
the flames, and for a time it looked as
though every building in the path of the
flames would be destroyed, but the citi-
zens, by diligent work, finally succeeded
in extinguishing the fire. The losses and
insurance are as follows:

Commission Is Not Authorized to

ONLY THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO so
Category to Which the Officers and
Seamen of War Vessels Do
Not Belong.

Washington, March 6.-The Spanish
treaty claims commission to-day handed
down a decision against the claimants for
deaths and injuries received by officers
and seamen in the wreck of the battle
ship Maine in Havana harbor The COM
mission holds:
Individual claims of citizens of one nation
may arise against the government of another
nation for redress of injuries to persons or
property which such citizens may have sus-
tanned from such government or any of it's
agents. But such individual claims do not
arise in favor of the officers and seamen of a
ship of war who receive, in the line of duty,
injuries to their persons for which foreign
government is responsible. The claim against
the foreign government is wholly national
and all injuries to such officers and sehlnen
are merged in the national injury: and they
can look only to their own government for
such remuneration as it may choose to give
them.
A seaman injured by the explosion which
destroyed the battleship Maine in the harbor
OF Havana, Cuba, Feb 10, 1898, bad no in
dividual claim against Spain, even if that
government was responsible to the United
States for the explosion, and therefore such
a seaman IS not entitled to an award in his
favor from the Spanish treaty claims COM

claims of citizens Of the United States against
Spain which the United States released t.

mission which will be affected by this
decision amount to about $500, 900, which
probably would be increased to $4,000, OO1

President Roosevelt's attitude has been
persistently misrepresented to- the house
republicans by certain ways and means
republicans, who have been saying the
president was unalterably committed to
certain definite Cuban program. mas
much as these ways and means republic
cans have had frequent White House con-
ferences it was naturally supposed they
knew what they were talking about. 1t
now appears, however, that the president
has no set program of Cuban relief. This
may be stated on high authority. All he
wants is that congress should inquire
carefully into the matter and then do that
which suggests itself as fair and right.
The ways and means republicans to-day
are being severely condemned for will

think the president had adopted some par

This remarkable state Of affairs has

the state cannot join issues with the corr
poration, either in the supreme court or
circuit courts, and as the state courts
cannot reach it, the bar is effectual
AS far as the recent suit is concerned,
the issue seems to be closed, but for

When the railroad interests of the coun-
try come to realize the full significance
Of this move by the president, results
will undoubtedly be apparent in frantic
demands for congressional action. Up to
this time no step has been taken toward
railroad legislation. There are two bills
sleeping in the senate and house COM
mittees on interstate commerce. Their
purpose is the amendment of the inter
state law to prevent rebates and to per-
init pooling. Both bills would repeal the
imprisonment penalty Of the present law.
The Elkins bill would legalize pooling,
while the Corliss bill is silent on this
head. :-. :.
President Roosevelt declared in his mes
sage in favor of the regulation by federal
authority of the railroads and he sug-
gested that congress do something to this
end. He intends that congress shall deal
intelligently with this problem if he has
to Jail every official in the country to
demonstrate the deficiencies of the pres
ent law.

PAYNE SPEAKS
Ways and Means Chairman
Says Cuba Must Be
\ Attended To.

Washington, March 6.-Chairman Payne
of the house ways and means committee
to-day made a statement regarding the
Cuban situation, in which he reviews the
three propositions pending. He says the
majority of republicans think something
ought to be done for Cuba, and adds:
Many misleading statements as to the at
titude of the president, the cabinet and the
house republicans are appearing In the news
papers cannot speak of conferences with
the president, but have every assurance that
the cabinet is not divided, nor have ma
jority of the house republicans committed
themselves either to the Morris, the Tawney,
or the do-nothing policy.
Mr.. Payne says that to grant 20 per
cent reduction will prevent the annexation
of Cuba for many years and annexation
will mean free trade. He closes:
To refuse to do anything would put the
house in position of hostility to the presi-
dent, would cause uncertainty and feeling
of apprehension to the producers of sugar in
the states and would be utterly demoralizing.
1t is conceded that nothing will be done
at to-night's caucus.

If the dividend were raised to Z per cent

The statement of the Burlington &

been following the case with some inter-
est, says Of the decision:
1.-THE statement of the court is re-
markable one. Decisions are many on
the point that the attorney general is the
legal representative of the state, and is
presumed to stand for it's interests.
"The abrogation of this rule is likely to
lead to consequences .that are not real
lied. If the attorney general, governor
and legislature do not represent the peo-
pie of state, who does represent them
I know no other way in which they can
be represented.
"The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific companies are represented in the
suit by the majority stockholders. If the
minority interests are affected at all, it
is to their protection, and not injuriously.
Barred From Any Court.
''The court goes even further, however,
and by it's language bars the state of
Minnesota from any action against the
Northern Securities company. The ques
ton before the court is the Jurisdiction
of the supreme court, but in the opinion
1t is also held that the circuit court cannot
entertain such suit.
"The suit cannot be brought in the
state court, because the Northern Securi
ties company is not within the jurisdiction
| of Minnesota courts. The states hands
are tied, SO far as the great merger cor
poration is concerned. This is most
unfortunate situation. which should be
| remedied. Now that the rule is estab-
lished, I see no way to change it except
by an act of congress expressly comforting

by Senator Gebhardt has been referred to

is doubtful If the measure ever gets out Of
committee. Senator Gebhardt is demo-
crat and the introduction of the bill is
looked upon by the republican majority as
a political move. The bill, after recit-
ing that it has become publicly known
that the Northern Securities company was
organized with the express purpose OF
enabling the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern to violate the laws Of several
states, and that it has aroused great in
digna ton among the people, says:
The fair name of New Jersey should not

spiracies organized in other states for the

therefore, be it enacted that the charter Of

Of the affair was its informality. In.
stead of adopting a set program OF long
drawn -out speeches. the committee de-
cided to leave the guests to their own
conversational resources and it proved to

Mr. Dunwoody was impressed with TIL
