Fire on Tuesday evening destroyed
the Standard Oil company's ware
house and Office.
The agent, T. L. Mccormick, was
engaged, at the time of the explosion,
in filling a wagon-tank with oil which
was to have been hauled to Grey
Eagle in the morning, he managed to
escape with slight burns. The team
that was hitched to the wagon started
to run as the flames flashed around
them, but the wheels of the wagon
came in contact with the side of
the building in such manner
that they were unable to get out, and
before anything could be done to ex-
tricate them they persisted. The team
was very valuable one and the loss
is keeply regretted by Mr.. Mccormick.
The burning oil was fast and
furious, and gave the firemen all their
attention for while. The gasoline
tank was very near the Office and il
looked for a while as if that was in
danger of exploding, and had that
happened the loss of life and property
would have been great, but fortunately
the wind was not blowing very hare
and by good work of the firemen the
| fire was confined to the oil tank.
| Several cars of lumber caught fire
but the flames were extinguished be-
fore any great damage was done.
| The origin of the fire was no doub
due from spark from an engine. Al
the time the fire started there were
three freight trains in the yard, anC
one of the engines was switching cars
on the track where the oil tanks arr
located.

A little while later, and while tn,

at the foot of Birch street. Before the

for the supreme Importance of sea
power. 1t may safely be asserted that
this command of the sea. furnished by
ships and sailors, is the paramount
condition whereon the employment of
land forces in time of war depends.
What then. are the conditions that
exist to-day. and what will be the prob
able disposition of the contendins
energies? In the new theater OF war
the naval forces of Russia and Japan
in the China seas are in displacement
and tonnage so nearly equal that the
Japanese superiority measures less
than 5000 tons displacement. These
small odds are discovered in armored
cruisers, as in battleships the Rus
SLAMS have a tonnage greater by more
than 1000 tons.
But relative naval strength is rot
measured by size alone. and this ap-
parent equilibrium disappears when
the higher speed. the greater homo
seneity in type. and. as a whole, the
more modern character of the Jap
anese fleet is considered. Then. too,
Japan has a great strategic advantage
in the extent and situation of her
bases of supply and equipment, in the
immediate readiness of a reserve, and
in the availability of fishermen and
other seafaring persons to replace the
waste of battle and of disease.
The crews of both fleets are secured
by conscription but Russia has of late
been forced to employ her rural
classes. while Japan has over 1000, 900
of sea bred people on whom she can
depend for the personnel of her squad
ron.
1t can safely be assumed that in
courage. physical fitness and endur-
nnce. and in discipline. training, and
self-devotion the enlisted men of the
two conflicting fleets are equal Nor
can there be any great difference be-
tween the officers. as they are. in the
main, highly educated. scientifically
trained in the art of war, and used to
the sea.
4 well known expert, comparing the
battleships of both sides, says:
Il think it may be said that in
point of homogeneity. of weight of
metal. of protection. and of speed. the
six Japanese ships are superior to the
eight Russian ships
The probabilities of a sudden dash
at the outset must be kept in mind. as
Japan has of late been keen believer
