The alarm from box 81 at 6.25,

the double tenement structure known
as the BoWmau house on School street
occupied by T.. r. Motherweil and AL

ton. When discovered the flames had
gained considerable Roadway and the
frelnen found Il brisk blaze on their
hands when they arrived on the scene
Considerable water waS used, as the
ire could be reached in 10 other way,

FRIENDSHIP PROGRESSED
BY China, but Seizure of the Ryesh
telni Has Not Been Answered For.

St Petersburg. Aug. 17.-China has re-
piled to Russia's representations regard
ing the Ryeshitelni. but her reply is
couched in general terms processing
friendship and desire to preserve the
strictest neutrality. 1t shows disapproval
of Admiral Sah's inability to protect the
Ryeshitelni and represents that he took
all the precautions possible but could nor
prevent the night attack. The reply also
says that one of the Japanese cruisers
was overhauled as she was leaving the
harbor and that a protest was lodged
against her action, in view of which the
Japanese captain promised to return but
did not do so. The reply does not say the
Ryeshitelni's restitution was demanded.
Chinas reply lis considered unsatisfac-
tory by Russia. the main question-what
mas China done to secure the restitution
of the notwithstanding unanswer-
ed. Russia also demanded the punish
ment of Admiral Sab.
Information received in St. Petersburg
foreShadows that Japan will decline to re-
store the Ryeshiteln or make any repara-
ton and that on the contrary she will con-
tend that Russia in sending the destroyer
to che Foo on an important military mis-
sion herself became responsible for the
violation of China's neutrality. which
Japan at the opening of the war promised
to respect to the extent which Russia did
Nevertheless it is understood that Great
Britain the ally of Japan has advised
her to apologize. 1t is believed that Japan
realizes that this course will please the
Western powers, but that she will not fol-
low it because it would mean a loss of
prestige in China, where concession has
always been translated to mean weak
ness.
Further interesting details of the sea
battle of Aug. 10. received at the admiral
ty from Capt. Matousevitch of the Care
witch. now at Tsingtau. show distinctly
that it was long range fight and that the
Russians. sailing in close formation, were
placed at great disadvantage, not only
by the superiority of the Japanese num-
bers. but owing to the fact that after
encompassing Admiral Withoft's semi
circle they were enabled to pour in re-
markably deadly fire on the fleeing ships.
Capt. Matousevftch says the japanese
kept at distance of eight and never less
than five miles The efforts of the Rus
slams to close with the japanese and sink
some of their vessels by ramming them or
by gunfire, even at the cost of themselves
going to the bottom, were consequently
unsuccessful The Japanese would not
permit the Russians to approach, but the
rain of projecties never ceased.
The Finch shell which glanced over
the Czarevitchs forward turret and blew
up the bridge on which the late Admiral
Without and his staff were standing, was
fired at a range of eight miles.

CLEAR AND EMPHATIC.
United Sattes and England Have a
Whisper With Russia.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 17.-2 p. M.-The
United States and Great Britain have
formally raised the question of food
stUffs. as contraband of war, except
when directly proved that they are des-
tined for belligerent armies or navies.
While acting on parallel lines, the
United States and Great Britain are
proceeding independently.
The American case was presented
through Ambassador Mccormick and
follows the lines of the American dec
laration of the Spanish war. 1t is in
the form of a protest against the con-
fscation of flour on board the Arabia.
The general American contention re-
garding coal naphtha, etc, as set forth
in Secretary Hays note of June 10. are
also placed before the Russian govern
ment. Great Britain followed by rails
as contraband, but the legality of sink
as contraband, but the legality of sink
ing neutral ships. This communication
was presented through Ambassador
Hardinge.
The views are practically those en-
bodied in the Kings speech at the pro-
rogning of Parliament. The commune
cation takes exception to the Russian
doctrine that foodstuffs are contra
band takes position against the right
OF Russia to sink neutral merchantmen
and demands compensation in the case
of the Knight Commander.
With regard to food stuffs consigned
to an cnemy's ports the communication
maintains that proof that they are in
tended for belligerent's military or
naval forces is necessary in order that
they be considered contraband. 1t illus
trates in this contention the case of the
cour on board the Arabia which was
consigned to British firm at YokOha-
ma and which was declared contraband
by the VladivOstok prize court.
Great Britain contends that the Rus
sian doctrine is equivalent to declara-
ton that all food stuffs consigned to an
enemy's port are Internationally con-
ira band. The British note argues the
question at length against the right to
sink neutral ships as being contrary to
international law and usage.
Althoug the communications Of both
governments are couched i'm friendly
terms. they make the positions of the
United States and Great Britain quite
clear and emphatic.

BANK NOTE CURIO.
An Old Timer Which Is of Interest to
All Who See 1t.

Lowell G. Salisbury of this city, has
an old bank note which is something
of Il curiosity nowadays, when such
money has long been out of circulation.
The note is Il SO silver certificate is
sued by the Erie & Kalamazoo Rail-
road Bank of Adrian, Mich. 1t is of
the old issue of the times when state
banks issued their OWL notes. printed
from steel or copper plates. having a
deposit in the national treasury as
surety for the payment of the same.
The note is dated Jan. ,, 1854, and
is signed with the names of \. Ii. Com
stock, president, and y. Parker, cashier.
In the upper right hand corner of the
note is a blank line on which the num-
Der $3.50 has been written with pen.
The face of the note bears picture of
IL freight train, with the old-fashioned
funn-l-sha ped SmokcStack on the loco
motive, just pulling into station
where a crowd is awaiting it's arrival.
The note is numbered in the upper
right and lower left hand corners with
the figures 10. and on the other COR
ners bears a representation of an In
dian chieftain and a cOlonists wife.
The reverse side of the note is blank.
The note is printed on much better
quality OF paper than is used III the
notes OF the present day. OF course
these notes were very common ut one
time. but now most of them lave been
redeemed by the banks which issued
them and have been destroyed, so that
they are now of value as souvenirs,

FAIR TREATMENT
Is Now Promised the American Schools
in Turkey.

CUnstantinople, Aug. 1.-THE Porte
has addressed formal note to the
American legation confirming it's I'M
dcrtakins to accord equal treatment to
American schools and kindred institu-
lions as granted to the most favored
nation subject to the accomplishment OF
the usual departmental formalities. In
spite of the seeming reservation it is
not believed that The Porte will raise
further difficulties in executing the
agreement or run the risk of crea ting
a fresh crisis which American diplo-
matte circles declare would follow
promptly any failure to loyalty carry
ont the arrangement.
There is some comment in diplomatic
and official circles regarding the al
legged incompleteness of the American
settlement compared with the settle
ment obtained by France on the ,Occa-
sion of the occupation Of the Island Of
Mitylne In 1891.
Diplomatic circles point out however,
that Minister Leishman got what he
wanted and is now awaiting the execu-
ton Of the understanding.
