Electric Car on Fire.

The trailer on an electric train caught
fir, last night while turning into Fairfax
street from King. Considerable excite,
ment existed for a short time, or until
the flames were extinguished. The point
at which tie accident occurred is rem
devious early in the night for numbers
of small children who bring wagons on
the vitrifed brick pavement. Trains
are whirling around that corner at inter
walls during the night and there is danger
of some of the youngsters being run
over. Had any of them been near the
car which caught fire last night serious
results might have followed, as sheets OF
flame shot from the side of the car ana
extended several feet tEerefrom.

CADET GRAY.-A question often ask
ed is why the army cadets at West Point
wear a gray uniform, while the uniform
of the army is blue. The origin OF the
distinction dates back to the war OF
1S12-1S14, when the quartermaster-gen-
eral of the army could not procure the
blue cloth required for Gen. Winfield
SCOTS brigade, and so they were clad IN
gray. So distinguished was the conduct
of that brigade at Lundy's Lane and
Chippewa that when, after the war !r OF
1872 a reorganization of the West
Point Military Academy was made, out
of compliment to General Scott and his
brigade the uniform OF the corpse Of
cadets was changed from blue to gray.

owner formed the Consolidated Ice

CALLED TO WASHINGTON.
General Funston to Confer With Wa'
Department Officials.

Denver, March 9.-Brigadier Gen
eral Frederick Funston, commanding
the department Of the Colorado, has
received unexpected orders calling
him to Washington for a conference
with Assistant Secretary Of War San
ger. No reason was given for the
summons.
General Funston has been ordered
to assume command of the department
of the Columbia, embracing Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and the whole of
Alaska, succeeding General Randall,
who sails for the Philippines on April
1. His orders were to reach Van
couyer Barracks, Wash, the depart
ment headquarters, not later than
March 10.
General Funston declined to dis
cuss the new order or to make any
comment on the change in arrange
ments It is believed, however, that
the war department has in view exten.
sive plans for the handling of troops
in Alaska in connection with the i'm.
pending difficulties over the Alaskan
boundary question.

CONSIDERED IMPORTANT.
Concessions Obtained From Turkey
by American Minister.

by American Minister.
Washington, March 10.-The state
department has not been fully advised
of the concessions obtained from the
Turkish government by Minister
Leishman, as reported in press dis
patches from Constantinople. The
Turkish government has up to this
point declined to recognize American
medical diplomas, or even those is
sued to graduates from American in
situations in Turkey, fact which
naturally greatly diminished their use
fulness.
A more important concession from
a humanitarian point is that respect
ing the wives and children of natural
lied Armenians. The Turkish govern
ment has heretofore held that the wife
of Turkish citizen who is naturalized
in America does not by that act De-
come herself an American. Interna-
tional law admits the rights of the
woman to share the condition of her
husband, and while our government
has not set up the claim that under
our laws the wife becomes naturalized
by the husbands act, yet it has con-
tended that under the principle of in
ternatiOnal law above referred to the
Turkish government was not justified
in OBTAINING these women in Turkey.
The undertaking to recognize the
American educational, charitable and
religious establishments will, it is
said, greatly enlarge their usefulness
and add much to their security, for
there will hereafter be no question of
their right to claim full military pro-
lection from the Turkish government
if they are threatened in times of riot.

WATCHED WITH JEALOUS EYE
Development of American Trade in
British Colonies.

New York, March 10.-The develop
ment of American trade in the British
colonies is watched with jealous eye
by many people in this country, says
a London dispatch to the Tribune.
Complaints are raised that the Amer
leans have of late monopoliZed the
markets of Malta for -four and oil to
the disadvantage of British trade.
Formerly these articles reached Malta
from London, Liverpool and Hull, but
the cheaper prices quoted from New
York have ousted the British goods.
This result is attributed to the direct
steamship service inaugurated last
year.
The outlook in connection with the
Canadian trade is an engrossing sub
ject of discussion in Bristol. At an
early date the Canadian Pacific rail-
way will, it is stated, open a branch
office there and it is understood that
the Grand Trunk line will follow suit,
so that the port will soon be receiving
attention to an unprecedented degree
from two rival organizations of far
reaching influence.
