EIGHTEEN HORSES PERISH
WINSLoW BARNS DESTROYED
 EARLY THIS MORNING.
situated in the Rear of the Large Bak- ing Essabiishmsnt Near shs Corner of Elm and Garden strseta-No Chance Offered of Saving the Anima's-Loss Estimated at Between s5,ooo and se,uoo.

Fire at 1 o'clock this morning com
 pletely destroyed the large barns be-
 longing to Mrs. Harriet E. Winslow on
 Garden street, near the corner of Elm, and burned eighteen horses to death,
 two others being saved from nearby shed. Mrs. Winslow is proprietress of
 the large Winslow baking establish ment.
 The fire was discovered about 12:50 by Harry Dorman, an employe of the bak- cry. and at that time the whole lower
 part of the barns was mass of flames. He quickly notified MT. Winslow and then turned in the alarm. There were eighteen horses in the barns which were on fire, and two oth- CTS in a nearby shed. As the flames were so intense, although MT. Winslow made frantic attempts to crawl on his hands and knees to the door of the barn to lib- crate the horses, he was driven back by the flames and had to give up the at- tempt. He then turned his attention to a small shed. where two other horses were kept, and succeeded in saving them.
 As soon as the department arrived they saw that there was grave danger of the fire spreading to the large bak- cry, which is only about forty feet from the barns. and second alarm was therefore turned in. All this time the frantic horses were stamping and rushing about inside in a mad attempt to get out. but gradually all sounds from them ceased. and it was then
 known that they had all burned to death.
 At the rear of the barns is large
 lot, which is in back of the Trowbridge houses on Elm street, while in the near 1 vicinity of the barns in all directions are other structures, and it was only l by the hardest kind of work on the part of the firemen that any of them
 was saved At one time it looked as if the bakery was doomed, but it did not l ignite. There were a number of bak- cry wagons and carriages in the far thest end of the barn and most of them were saved.
 1 In addition to the loss of the horses and a few of the teams, all the har- ness blankets, hay and oats in the
 barns were destroyed, as well as every. thing else which was stored there. | MT Winslow stated that the horses were all insured and that there was a partial insurance on the barns and 1 their contents. He thought that the 1 total loss would amount to between $5,0 600 and $s,00O, and that of this i amount the personal loss, not covered by insurance, would amount to abou, l s1, OOO
 l MT Winslow said that he had no ides
 how the fire started, and that as the
 large gate in the front of the yards
 was locked he did not think any tramps
 could have got into the barns to cause l the fire

ALEXIEFF GIVEN FREE HAND
| AUTHORIZED TO DECLARE VAR
 IF FOUND NECESSARY.
Dispatch from St. Pstsrsburg Says That Russia Expects War Unless Japan Ac- cepts Her Conditions-Japanese Min- fsser fin London Quoted as Saying That the situation is csrtoiniy Very Threatening.

Threatening.
 London. Feb. 3, S:O5 D. m.-A despatch from St. Petersburg to Reuters Tele- gram company. dated yesterday, and forwarded by way of the frontier, says the Russian general staff has given sviceroy Alexieff authority to declare war and open hostilities on his own re- sponsibility, if circumstances render it necessary.
 The despatch adds that an imperial manifesto is to be issued declaring war is expected if the Japanese government does not accept the conditions proposed in Russia's response which, it is as serted, will be Russia's last word.
 Baron Hayashi. Japanese minister to Great Britain, described the situation in the far east tonight as certainly very threatening but said that every thing depended upon Russia's reply. Ut is highly improbable,' the minister continued,'' that Russia will make any aggressive movement before the Japan csc government has received and con- sidered the Russian reply. What Rus sia wishes to do is to throw the respon- sibility of taking the initiative upon Japan"
 The foregoing utterances were pro- coked on being shown the threatening press despatches from St. Petersburg.
 Just before the adjournment for the night session of the House of Commons a member asked the government wheth- CT it had any information concerning the rumor that Russia had declared war. To this question Home Secretary Ackers-D Douglas replied:
 None whatever
 Tokio, Feb. 3.--Although the govern ment officials continue reticent it is manifest that the situation is of the gravets and that crisis is near at hand. The time in which the Russian reply will continue to be a factor in the situation is narrowing.
 The patience of the government is be- coming exhausted and if the expected answer. is delayed many days longer the lSSuhHce OI dil ultiiHdtuil py Jdpdii will become inevitable.
 The Japanese feel that the existing conditions have entitled them to a more prompt reply and are bound to infer that the St. Petersburg government is determined not to yield but is utilizing the time to advance it's preparations for war.
 The statement printed abraod that the Russian reply is being held back while M. Kurino, the Japanese minis ter, communicates it's substance to his government is untrue.
 The Associated Press is semi-otficial- ly assured that the Russian response wifi not be sent before February 5, at the earliest.
 The tension unquestionably is in- creasing, and the bourse showed a ner- vous feeling, btu beyond the decided i. Russian military activity, there is little I definite news.

TRANsTAAL OUTLOOK GLOOMY.

Pessimistic Views of Lord nIiiner-- cooife Labor Absolutely Necessary. London, Feb. 3.--A Blue Book on South Africa issued to-day contains a pessimistic dispatch from Lord Milner,
 British high commissioner in South Africa, to the colonial office dated Jam uary p, in which, referring to the Transvaal legislatures approval of the introduction of Chinese labor, Lord Mill ner says he realizes the gravity of the action, but there is not the shadow of a doubt as to it's wisdom. The depres- sion in business is increasing daily, the revenues are falling off. many people are out of work, and unless the situa- tion soon changes great exodus of whites is inevitable. Public opinion, he adds, is decisively in favor of imported labor.

Tells Shareholders why Daly'West Div
idend Was Cut,

In the envelops containing the DAILY
West dividend checks sent out yester-
day was contained the following note OF
explanation from President Bamber-
ger:
In explanation OF the reduction in
the dividend rate, II has recently be-
come evident that the large extraction
of frst-class ore necessary 10 pay G5
cents per share, or $4,000 monthly, is
too great a tax on the capacity OF the
mine, and especially on the flrst-class
ore reserves, and for the purpose Of
conserving the latter and in the best
interests Of the mine and It's stock
holders the directors, following the adj
vice OF their valued and experienced
superintendent John A, Kirby, unani-
mously voted for the reduction OF the
dividend as above indicated,
"Mr Klrbys estimates give us assur-
ance that the i0-cent monthly dividend
can be maintained indefinitely without
any impairment OF the cash reserve

THE FUTURE OF LEAD.
IL Is Expected the Local settling Price
VIII be Raised Soon.

The future looks very bright for the
lead producers of this and other noun
tain states and It will probably not be
many weeks before the announcement
is made of the raising of the settling
price of that metal The fact that pro-
ducers are soon to enjoy the adyan-
tages of competition In the completion
of the United States lead smelter at
Bingham Junction is hailed with salts
faction. While the United States off,
clals are not talking very much about
what they propose doing when they are
prepared TO enter the market as buyers
of lead ores nevertheless they have In
tlnatod that they will bid above $3.50
per 100 pounds for lead; that good mon
ey can be made out Of II II the pro-
Queer is paid "a for his product
The fact that the big American COM
pany Is arranging to turn It's batteries
on the National Lead company in a
struggle for supremacy is another con-
dltion which, II Is believed, will work to
the advantage OF the producer for
awhile, at least.
