HELM Reaches scene.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 26.-At 1870;
a. m. four steamers from Syracuse ar
rived, having been delayed on account
of the severe cold. Several engines
from the Buffalo fire department ar
rived at II o'clock.
AT that hour the fire was still burn
ing fiercely, but Chief Little thinks
the flames will be kept under control,
as there is no wind blowing.
A portion of the Kirley building,
occupied by the Rochester Dry Goods
Company, fell.
The front of the building occupied
by the Beadle & Sherburne Company
also fell in with dull roar and with
it carried mass of burning timber,
brick and plaster.
Trolley wires were broken and eight
firemen had narrow escapes from in
jury. The fire scene is guarded by
large details of police.

Palestine Talent Good

The Palestine Dramatic club, play
ing Enoch Arden at the opera house
Friday evening, was only surpassed
by one professional theatrical COM
pany during the season. This company
of ladies and gentlemen of our neigh
boring city developed unusual strength
and talent for amateurs and the acting
of some of them-those having the
leading parts-was far ahead of many
of the o-called professionals. Those
of our citizens who did not attend the
play may well regret it, for they
missed treat. On account of the
downpour of rain, the audience was
small-much smaller than it should
have been under the circumstances.
The purpose for which the play was
given was most laudable one and
deserved the unstinted patronage OF
our people. 1t is the desire of many
of our citizens that this company again
make us a visit and it is believed that
full house can be given them under
more propitious circumstances

Paris, Feb. 26.-The French foreign
Office categorically denies the report
published in a London paper that
Corea having become an ally of Japan
under the new Japanese Corean treaty
France is thereby required to become
an active ally of Russia.
Officials say the situation does not
warrant such a conclusion and adds
that the new treaty does not make the
slightest change in the position OF
France.

Japan now claims to have been sue
cessful in her attempt to bottle up the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur. Toxic
cables that old hulks have been sunk
in sufficient numbers to keep the big
ships inside. st. Petersburg advices
are to the contrary.
Details of the latest fighting at Port
Arthur continue TO be lacking.
The czar's squadron from Jubutil is
anchored in the Gulf Of Suez and it is
making no effort to proceed to the
front.
Both sides appear to be putting
troops to the front and desperate
fighting will hardly be delayed much
longer.
