PROGRESSO, YUCATAN,
 HAS $2,OOO,OOO FIRE

Consolidated railway of Yueatan, and also the municipal palace, two-story stone building. The two latter buildings were gutted. The aggregate loss will amount to about s2,OOO,000. divided as follows:
 Loss on municipa. palace and contents s450, 900; market house and contents, $26o,- 0O0 Consolidated railway of Yucatan, building and contents. ss00,000; loss on other business property. which was oe- cupied by general hardware, clothing, drug and store houses $1,000,O00. No reli- able estimate of the insurance can be ob- tained, but 1t is conservatlvely estimated that the loss Is about half covered by in- curance, mostly held with European com- panies.
 This Is by far the most disastrous con- fagration that has visited Mexico in the past six months. although the present fire will not entail any hardship on the poorer classes. such as did the recent fire in the port of Vera Cruz. when fire swept the district where lived the poorer classes, rendering homeless some 100 people.

ROSE TELLS HOW
 HE SPENT MONEY
ALLEGED DEFAULTER OF s1s7. .ooo IN CLEVELAND SAYS HE HAS BEEN CIRCULATING FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS.

Cleveland O.. January 2s.-George A.. Rose the alleged defauting cashier of the Produce Exchange bank, which closed it's doors January 22. made a confession this afternoon to the county prosecutor telling of his method of using the banks money. of which he Is said to have lost $1S7, ,0O0.
 The confession while brief Is ample In explanation. Rose said he was alone in his alleged speculation. and that his use of the banks money began about six years ago. He said that about three years ago. when the loss had reached only 520, : 000, an auditing committee was appointed to go over the banks books.
 Rose had hoped that his shortage would be discovered then, but at the end of a week or so of investigation the committee reported everything satisfactory with the banks affairs. Rose declares that he lived within his salary of s125 month and has not got cent of the money he lost to the bank by his speculation.

PASSENGER MEN
 AGREE ON RATES
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE REGARDING CHARGES TO BE IN EFFECT DURING WORLDS FAIR AT ST. LOUIo.

St. Louis, Mo. January 2s.-The Amer ican Association of General Passenger agents got down to business early today with President F. l. Whitney, general passenger agent of the Great Northern in the chair. A committee of representa- tives of St. Louis lines submitted in con- else form recommendations as to rate and conditions to prevail during the world s fair.
 It was decided this afternoon to recom- mend to their respective traffic organi- cations reduced rates to the worlds fair from all parts of the United States. Spe- officially, they agreed to ask for:
 1. A season excursion rate to St Louis beginning April 9 and continuing until November 25. selling tickets during the period at 80 per cent of double the one way fare.
 ?. Excursion rates with final return limit fare
 3. Excursion tickets of ten days limit in territory 200 miles distant from St. Louis at rate of one fare plus g. q-l9fithe CiavdCCqy etaoin etaointaoin
 That coach excursions be run not of tener than one day each week by each line at rates and with limits and other conditions as may be agreed upon by in- terested lines.
 These propositions will be considered at the meeting of the representatives of the trunk lines. New England Passenger asso- citation and Central Passenger association which will convene in New York Febru- ary 8.
 It is the belief of the passenger agents that no difficulty will be encountered in securing these rates.

IRON PRICES ARE
 BUT A REPETITION
LOW PRICE OF NORTHERN PROD UcT IS SAME AS LAST WEEK. SENTIMENT IS MORE oPTIMIs- TIC.

Cleveland, O., January Safeguarding the iron market the Iron Trade Review this week says the meeting. in, New York this week of the presidents of three south ern furnace companies has attracted much attention. It's outcome was the expected one. The experience with the last asso- citation made it certain that no similar movement would secure the support of one company, at least, and after a serious and prolonged effort to adopt a new plan better proof against evasion and price cutting, the New York meeting adjourned with the understanding that each com- pany would go its own way. That tho United States Steel corporation had any part in the negotiations or seeks to &C., quire southern properties can be denied.
 The past week has been repetition of the previous one in respect to low price for northern irons While $1250 at fur mace for No foundry iron is minimum with most furnaces on business In natur- ally tributary territory. this price Is cut where business is sought in more distant territory, and SIP at furnace has been shaded in a few instances.
 The demand for finished material does not widen greatly, though there are some hopeful indications and certainly more optimistic sentiment, though this view must leave out the railroad situation as 1t stands today.
 Good promise for structural material appears in several directions. The sheet market shows further shading of prices and it is difficult for independent pro ducers to make a profit with No. 2 black sheets selling openly at $2.25. while as low as s2.2o has been reported. Tin plates have been reduced 15c a box for hun dred pound coke plates, or to $3.45. The $3.6 price has been maintained since early November.
 The pool price of Bessemer steel bil- lets has been shaded on central western sales made from the Ashland Ky dis trict, and there are reports of cuts of $l to s2 ton on open hearth billets in northern Ohio. The Clarion Steel com pany is said to have maintained pool prices thus far. Reorganization plans for this company are under way and it's sale to the steel corporation Is again discussed.

 The business district in which the fire first broke out is located about half mile from the wharyes and fronts on the Alameda, the most beautiful plaza in the city.

 The square, which was entirely wiped out, consisted for the most part of one story buildings, which were occupied by business houses The market house, a large single story building, which fur nishes the only means of obtaining food supplies to the citizens, was completely destroyed.

 Men largely interested in this corporation are figuring in the negotiations which have been in progress here for several days They calculate upon taking in the other Alabama companies when the Tennessee, Sloss and Republic companies have been combined giving the other com panies rating so to speak, based upon the values placed upon the properties of three larger companies.

 Mr. Thompson of the Republic and MT. Maben of the Sloss will be in Birmingham Monday. Both left here today. At the Monday meeting in Birmingham, the nine commissioners will be named and in- structed to begin work at once.
