BIG FIRE IN PlTTssURe.
For TwIeve Hours Thirteen Engine Companies Have Stubborn Fight.

Pittsburg, December 29.-For twelve hours commencing at o'clock ths morn- ing thirteen engine companies battled with a stubborn fire in the six-story stor- age warehouse of Haugh & Keenan at Third street and Duquesne Way. Crossed electric wires are given as the cause of the fire. The loss, according to James F. Keenan, president of the company, will not fall before $200O00 and may reach S00,- 600. The insurance will not cover more than one-tenth of the loss. MT. Keenan planes the steel shutters and doors which are approved by the fire underwriters for most of the damage.
 The building Is solid brick structure, equipped for a warehouse and constructed with slow combustible material. It is sup posed to be practically fire proof. Its pro- tected character was the means of mak- ing the fire one of the hardest to fight the department has had for years.
 From the time it was discovered in the morning until 1t was smothered this even ing, not once did the flames appear in any great volume, but slowly and surely ate their way from the fifth floor to the sixth and from the fifth to the third floor All the goods that were not burned were more or less damaged by the flood of wa ter poured into the building.

NEGROES ARE SAVED
 FROM AN IOWA MOB
TO PREVENT FURTHER TROUBLE
 THE TWO ASSAiLANTS OF MRS. SPARKS AND HER DAUGHTER
 ARE TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY.

Council Bluffs, la, December 29-Neily groes who last night nearly escaped lynching at the hands of an infuriated mob. were tonight taken to the state peni- tentiary at Fort Madison, la, for safe keeping. During the afternoon the men were taken before Judge Wheeler and waived preliminary examination. The judge then signed an order for their re- moval and the men were hastily spirited away, and Sheriff Cousins left with them on the first train for Fort Madison. Dur ing the day Sheriff Cousins learned of an organized plan to lynch Summerman and Burke tonight and again made request for company of militia to guard the county jail, and arranged for heavy force of police to assist in case their ser vices were required. Feeling against the prisoners has increased, and during the afternoon small groups of men gathered in the vicinity of the jail to discuss the matter.
 Sheriff Cousins then decided that tn safer course was to remove the men from the city and applied for an order of re- moyaI. Four assaults within a week. similar to those made on Mrs. Sparks and her daughter. had wrought up the work ing people of the city to pitch of fever ish excitement and this feeling was freely voiced on every street corner.
 Last nights experience and todays de- veIouments are sufficient to lead the ad- thorities to the belief that q bold attempt would be made tonight by a we'll organiz- ed mob to lynch the negroes, and they then decided to avoid all trouble by re- moving the cause of the disturbance.

BRYAN IS PLEASED
 WITH HIS JOURNEY
SAYS HIS STUDY OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ABROAD HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANY CHANGE OF HIS FINANCIAL VIEWS.

London, December 29.-Wiliam J. Bryan has returned to London from The Hague. He will sail for New York De- cember 30 on the Celtic. MT. Bryan said to the Associated Press correspondent to- night that he had found his European trip extremely interesting and instructive. Asked whether his study of the financial conditions abroad had resulted in any change in his views on the silver question, he replied:
 Not the slightest"
 Mr. Bryan regretted that lack of time had prevented him from making more extensive investigation of the social and industrial conditions which obtained in the countries through which he had passed. He had been received everywhere with the greatest courtesy, he said. and every facility had been extended him for investigation along those lines
 Asked concerning the possibilities of the democratic nomination for the presidency, Mir Bryan said that he was compelled to decline to discuss that matter in any way. because of the possible misinterpre- tation to which his views might be sub 1ected in the United States.

ROOT TO CONDUCT
 THE NEGOTIATION
Has Been Designated by the President to Treat With Represent atve ofCoombia During Illness ofSecretary HayCab-
 net Discusses the Panama Situation at Length

Colombian note filed with the state de- partment by General Reyes. but it can be said that no answer yet has been made to it. The note was submitted by the Colombian minister in Spanish Some delay was encountered in the translation of the document, but finally the transla- ton was laid before the President and Secretary Root for consideration. Sec retary Root informed General Reyes this afternoon that the reply of this govern ment was not ready, but that it would be given him as soon as possible. Sec retary Root will give the response to General Reyes when a decision as to it's precise nature shall have been reached.
 No intimaton of the contents of Gen eral Reyes note or of the reply of this government is given from any authori- tative source. It is known, however. that the administrator regards the rati- fication of the treaty with the Republic of Panama as the first step to be taken in the entire pending matter. What this government may do subsequently. will be determined. at least. in part by the circumstances then surrounding the case. Just now 1t Is said authoritatively there Is nothing in the situation to arouse serious concern
 General Reyes has not indicated to Secretary Root what his intentions are regarding his future movements. It is presumed he will remain in Washington awaiting the reply of the United States to his nc.s.

BOSTON NO WORSE
 OFF THAN OTHERS
SECRETARY SHAW REFUSES TO
 CHANGE HlS DECISION WHICH
 REvokEs PRIVILEGE OF OBTAIN ING IMPORTED GOODS QUICKLY.

Boston, December 29.-Secretary of the Treasury Shaw today heard the com plaints of Boston merchants on the sub ject of the recent treasury department order, revolking the long time privilege of obtaining imported goods shortly after they have arrived at this port. This priv ilege was made possible by the use of the released bonds. More than 100 inn porters were present at the custom house when Secretary Shaw opened the hear ing today.
 Charles Shamlin. assistant secretary of the treasury under President Cleveland. representing the chamber of commerce. offered the protest of that body. He termed the revoking order an unjust dis crimination, since none of the other large ports of the country had thus been re- stricted. Under the release bond he said importers gave surety to double the value of the goods, and no possible loss to the government could ensue. The abrogation of the privilege, he said, would occasion a loss of some seven to ten days time and inconvenience, and money loss would follow, which could not be estimated. Representatives of several large import ing houses who followed MT. Hamlin ex- pressed the belief that the order would act as discrimination against the port of Boston, which should not be permitted.
 After all who wished to be heard had spoken, Secretary Shaw outlined the mo- tive of the government in changing the rules. He was emphatic in declaring that there was no thought of discrimination against Boston, but said it was the pur- pose of the treasury department to in- stitute a uniform system covering all customs ports,
 He declined, however, to change his de- cision with reference to the release bond. which he said in itself is q violation of the law requiring collectors to accept nothing but money for dutible goods
 Incidentally the secretary said:
 q do not see wherein Boston is so very badly off. In New York they handle more goods day after day than you do here in months. But you are going to get your goods on time. If the fault is with the custom house there are things that can be done to eliminate the trouble"

Wentz, general manager of the Stonega Coal and Coke company. is soon to leave Big Stone Gap. returning to his former home in Philadelphia where, in the future, he will make his residence. It is reported in this connection that the main offices of MT. Wentz' companies are to be moved from Big Stone Gap to Ston- ega, where his company's operations arc located. The report could not be verified. however but there is little doubt of its authenticity.
 It Is said that MT. Wentz' decision to return to Philadelphia and there make his home is in accordance with his faml ly's wishes for his safety since the dis appearance of his younger brother two months ago.
 For years MT. Wentz has been most prominently identified with the growth and development of the vast mineral in- terests of southwest Virginia, and through his labor in this section which was only a few years ago an undeveloped region Is possibly the most valuable coke and coal operation in the south.

SINNERS CONDEMN
 COTTON GAMBLING
MASS MEETING OF MANUFACTURE FRS IN MANCHESTER WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT IT.

Manchester, Eng, December 29.-At a here today a resolution was adopted strongly condemning international cotton gambling which has greatly injured the trade, resulting in serious losses and less ened employment thus bringing distress and also inviting the government to re- eeive a deputaton with the object of taking measures to prevent gambling" in cotton. The meeting was well attend ed by representative men.
 MT. M A. McCara, president of the Masters Federation, in moving the reso- lution, said the development of the cot ton industry throughout the world had been such as to make 1t necessary If the situation was to be effectually met to form an international commission to re- duce consumption. Want of foresight in allowing combinations of gamblers" to assume gigantic dimensions before taking steps to counteract them by equally pow erful combinations was responsible for the prevailing abuses. Legislation was required to deal with the present grave national danger.
 Reports to the cable message inquiry suggest short time in the cotton trade sent December 15 to the American and continental associations engaged in the cotton trade showed there were difficult ties in the way of securing an interna- tional convention.
 The meeting further adopted a resolu- ton recommending that the Masters fed eral convention organize an immediate re- sort to short time, forty hours per week on the part of the firms using American cotton, also passed a resolution in sup port of the British cotton association to insure supplies of raw material.

 as Result of Collision.

New York, December 29-Proceedings to recover s45O,QOO damages for the sinking of the steamer Kiowa in Boston harbor by the steamship Admiral Dewey, on De- cember 26,. were begun here today when counsel for the Clyde Steamship com pany, owners of the Kiwo, filed in the United States district court a libel against the American Steamship compa- ny, owners of the Admiral Dewey.
 The Proctors ask $3O0000 for the loss of the Kiowa, s1OO.00O for its cargo and $5O,- GOO for the effects of its officers, crew and passengers.
