 The destruction of three department stores will cripple the dry goods trade for a time. The Sibley store was one of the landmarks of western New York, having been established here upwards of forty years ago. Rochester is the retail trading center for an immense territory hereabouts, notably in the line of dry goods.
 The fire was discovered by the night watchrnan in the employ of the Roeh- ester Dry Goods company at 4:5o.

MINISTER GRISCOM
CONFERS WITH THE
JAPANESE PREMIER

TOXIC, Saturday, Feb. I3.-
United States Minister Griscom
called upon Premier Komura last
night and an extended conference
was held, the nature of which has
not been disclosed. 1t is thought
it related to the effort of the pow
ers to obtain a statement of the
attitude of Japan toward preserv-
ing the entity of China, as has
been proposed by Secretary Hay.
The situation in the north of
China is exceedingly delicate.
The Japanese have legation
guards at Peking and Tientsin in
close proximity to the guards of
the Russian legation and there is
danger of a conflict. 1t is feared
that if the north of China is in
cluded in the sphere of operations
it will be impossible to prevent
disorder and uprisings as blind
for attacks on all foreigners.
