Flames in Downtown Section of
New York Create Intense
Excitement.
GENERAL ALARM SPREAD

NEW YORK, March 26.-All Wall street
and the downtown section of New York
We're thrown into unusual excitement to-
day by fire which started in the building
at 81 Broadway, occupied by the Norris
European and American Express Company.
The flames spread to the adjoining build
ing, occupied by the Adams Express Com
pany, but the fire was brought under con-
troll shortly after l o'clock, nearly two
hours after it's start, and the loss was es-
timated by an underwater at 100000, but
nothing could be learned regarding the in
surance.
When the neighborhood in which the fire
occurred is taken into consideration, it was
the most spectacular daytime blaze that
has occurred for long time in that part
of the city.
The fire occurred in two numbers of
series of old-fashioned five-story buildings
of the iron and glass that was common
fifteen or twenty years ago. The two
burned buildings were on the extreme south
of the block bordered by the Exchange al
ley. On the north these buildings reached
to the big skyscraper known as the Empire
building, from which the tenants were or
dered out just before it was seen that the
fire was under control.
Deputy Chief Binns explained that he
turned in the ''two-nine" alarm in order to
get as large a force of men possible at
work in the rear of the buildings, foreseeing
that If the blaze were not checked there 1t
would rage until ii burned itself out.
Closely following the first alarm a -four
was turned in, and then, with the warning
of the Baltimore fire in mind, ''two-nine, >"
the dreaded general alarm. followed. En-
CINE after engine, followed by their hose
trucks, water towers and ladder trucks,
swept changing down Broadway, the only
street of access to the fire. bringing in their
wake added thousands of people to swell
of standing room in the vicinity Bursting
hose and a black roll of choking smoke
now and then drove them back and aided
the police reserves to clear the streets.
The fire started in the basement of one

adjoin each other. Smoke was first seen

necessitating hurried efforts to save books
| and effects.
The firemen were much hampered in their
| work by the immense crowds of spectators
| Coming during the middle of the day, when
many thousands of persons were leaving
work or going to their lunches, the streets
| became so crowded that even the fire en-
| gines had trouble getting through the mass
| of people
| About 500 600 in cash in the offices of the

RUSSIANS TO UTILIZE
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY

NIEU-CHWANG, March 26.-It is under
stood that negotiations are about to begin
through Picking for the purpose of arrang-
ing wireless telegraph communication with
Port Arthur from a small rocky island
off Che-Foo, which was acquired by France
after the war of 1SS4-S5 in which France,
Great Britain and China were involved.
While the difficulties in the way of obtain
