THREE OUT OF THE cirYs LARo.
EST DEPARTMENT STORES b
BURNED.
$500 PEOPLE ARE OUT or WORK
FIRE APPARATUS WAS MADE.
ouATE AND ASSISTANCE
WAS CALLED IN.

Rochester, N. T., Feb. 27.-Ten fire
engines were pouring streams STof
water last night on the ruins OF what
was practically the entire retail dry
goods district Of the city, for three of
tthe city's five largest department
stores were consumed in yesterdays
disastrous fire.
Insurance men place the loss at
100000. OF this amount $3.50 900
represents the loss on buildings and
the remainder the loss on stocks Of
goods and the occupants of offices. It
is estimated that $500 people are
thrown out Of work, temporarily at
least, because of the fire.
Big Buildings Destroyed.
The burned district lies on the
north side of Main street, between st,
Paul street and Clinton avenue north.
running from St. Paul street almost
the entire length of the block. The
fire started in the store Of the Roch-
ester Dry Goods company and worked
west, taking but one store east of that
establishment, that of the Walkover
Shoe company, before its progress
was checked in that direction. Next
west was the store of the Beadle-
Sherburne company, which was de-
stroyed, then the Marble block, and,
finally, the thirteen-story Granite
building. Only the front wall Of the
Marble building is left standing. The
shell Of the Granite building is intact
and the floors are in place but the
building was Quilted. There were no
casualties and no one was injured.
An Explosion Occurred.
The fire was discovered by the
night Waterman in the employ Of the
Rochester Dry Goods company. It
was first seen at 1850 o'clock, and the
Waterman says it started from fuse
which blew out in the electric eleva-
tor connection. Almost Simultaneous
ly an explosion occurred in the base
ment of Beadle & Sherburne's. next
door. Smoke and flames poured
through the elevator grating in the
sidewalk. and in an incredibly short
time the buildings were a mass of
flames.
The fire department did good work,
but the apparatus was inadequate,
and requests for assistance were sent
to Buffalo and Syracuse. Each city
responded, sending two engines and
men to man them.

The House Passes the Naval Bill A.
ter Much Discussion.
Washington, Feb. 81. - The house
passed the naval appropriation bill
yesterday after having had it under
consideration for a week. There was
a party contest on number of prop.
ositions during the day, especially on
an effort of different minority men,
bers to secure an amendment to fix
the price of armor plate at the figure
bid by the Midvale Steel company.
Several amendments were ruled out
on points Of order and the Republic.
an leaders by skillful parliamentary
tactics left the matter of armor plate
in the discretion of the secretary Of
the navy. An Intellectual attempt was
made to have the eight-hour law ap-
piled to all ship construction. The
contest over submarine boats was
quite exciting and an amendment was
finally adopted which leaves the ques-
ton of the type of boat open but in.
creases the amount of the appropria-
ton for such boats. The minority
failed to secure a record vote on the
proposition to recommit with instruc-
tons, the proposed instructions being
declared out of order.
The senate yesterday considered at
some length the bill requiring the use
of American ships carrying govern
ment supplies, but without action, and
adjourned for want of quorum.

Important Move by Japan.
London, Feb. 27.-Spencer wilxin.
son, the we'll known war expert, writ.
ing in the Morning Post, says that
the rumor that the Japanese have
landed troops at Possiet bay Is by far
the most interesting piece of news re.
garding land operations which has
yet reached this country, if it should
prove true.
1t will settle the question as to the
Japanese estimate of the character of
war and as to the nature of the JAP
anese strategy, for by choosing this
landing place the Japanese would
snow that they do not mean merely to
seize strong places on the coast. and
then allow Russia to tire herself out
In an attempt to recover them, but
that they intend to seek decisive re.
suits and aim at the destruction of
the Russian army. That is beyond
doubt the best strategy, if the re-
sources Of Japan are equal, to it. The
Russians on the Yalu, once in touch
with the Japanese force in front Of
them, cannot be moved back in
body and sent north on trains. They
would have to fight for their retreat,
and not more than half of them could
be moved north. The distance from
Possiet bay to Hardin is about equal
to that from Hardin to Mukden, so
that the Japanese army, starting from
Possiet bay, is making by the shortest
route for the Russian communica-
tons.
If the natives should damage the
railways as is not improbable, the
Japanese army may in few weeks
compel the Russians to fight with
their faces toward Russia, situation
in which defeat would be irretrievable
ruin.
