INCENDIARY FIRE ON Pike
ATTEMPT MADE TO DESTROY
SEVERAL BUILDINGS.
Loss of $4,000 Caused-Suspect Is
Arrested-The Blaze Causes
Great Excitement.

st. Louis, Dec. 5.-A confagration
which gave the firemen a stubborn
fight, and which, owing to the high
wind; threatened the entire exposition
grounds, was discovered in Ancient
Rome on the Pike shortly after mlo-
night The flames spread with great
rapidity and destroyed part of Fair
Japan, all of Quo Vadis, in Ancient
Rome, Old st. Louis, and the
Rowery. Flying sparks also caused
incipient blazes on the roof OF
the varied industries building, but
they were extinguished without ma
terial damage The loss on the burned
buildings is $1,000. In addition to the
loss Of the buildings, a collection OF
oil paintings, depicting scenes in the
novel, "Quo Vadis," valued at $4,000,
were burned. They were painted by
Jan Styka, a Polish artist, and were
brought to this country under bond
of $4,000 The fire was of incendiary
origin, and man named Dunn has
been arrested as suspect.
The widest excitement prevailed
upon the Pike and many hundreds Of
people were attracted to the vicinity o.
the exposition grounds by the glare o.
the confiagration, which was visible
from all parts of the city for nearly
half hour. Alexander Dickson, the wal
ter who, it was believed, lost his life il
the fire, turned up safely Saturday.

ALL QUIET AT ZEIGLER.
Few Shots Fired During Night, But
Nobody Observation-Disclosures
Case in Court.

Duquoin, ILL.,, Dec. 5. = Comparative
quiet reigned at Zeigler through the
night, though there was some sporadic
firing. The guard at the pump house
was fired on, four shots coming from the
brush. The militia men and deputy
marshals on guard there responded with
about 80 shots. Shortly afterwards as
Gen. Barclay, who is in charge OF the
deputy marshals, and Lieut.. Kinni-
colt, of company G, from Carbonate,
were near the Dyle blockhouse, two
shots were fired at them from the dense
woods. AS they were between the
shooters and the blockhouse, the officers
did not return the shots, fearing they
would draw the fire on tbs blockhouse.
Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 5. : The case
of the union miners of the seventh dis
trict against whom was directed by
Judge Humphreys temporary injunction
forbidding interference with the opera
ton of the Zeigler coal mine came up in
the federal court here Saturday, on mo-
ton by defendants asking that the In
junction be dismissed because the Zeig,
Ter Coal company had failed to file
replication to the amended answer OF
the miners. The motion, however, was
withdrawn, and the case was referred te
a master in chancery to take evidence
Upon his report the matter of making
the temporary injunction permanent
will be disposed of by the court.

Rural Mail Causes Postal Deficiency
But Promises Heavy
Returns.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Because of the
great increase in rural mail routes, the
post office department shows an in
creased deficiency of 92.53 per cent. over
the previous year. According to the re-
ports of Assistant Postmasters General
Madden and Bristow it is estimated that
$500 900 will be needed Immediately to
continue operations of established
routes during the remainder of the fiscal
year, and an appropriation of 100000
will be asked with which to establish
new routes during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1906. Mr. Bristow reports that
by next June approximately $4,000 rural
routes will be in operation. During the
fiscal year ending last June there were
1851 post Offices discontinued, because
of the rural delivery, and 2,549 estab-
lished. The saving in postmasters' sal
aries aggregated Sill ,121. Mr.. Madden
declares in his report that as soon as the
establishment of the rural delivery sys-
tenn is completed, the department will
be self-sustaining for the first time since
1883.

OBJECTS TO DELAY.
Government to Remind Venezuela
That Decision in Asphalt
Case Is Due.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Venezuela's
attention will again be called in very
firm manner to the disappointment
this government feels at the continued
delay in the decision by the supreme
court of Venezuela in the case of an
American asphalt concern which has
been pending for a long time. The
dissatisfaction of this country with
affairs in Venezuela is shared by the
powers of Europe. Great Britain,
France and Italy, perhaps more than
the others, are having serious troubles
with their claims, their commerce and
their citizens. The European powers,
realizing the delicacy of the situa-
ton which would be created by
forceful collection by them of their
claims, hesitate to act. They would
prefer that the American government
bring Venezuela to realization OF her
shortcomings. The policy of this
government will not be announced for
the present The state department is
acting with all the patience it can
| command, and the American legation
at Caracas will again endeavor to OBJ
| tain at least an intimation regarding
| the probable date of decision in the
| asphalt case. This decision may or

consideration of grievances equally

COOL WEATHER HELPS TRADE
SITUATION IN COMMERCIAL
LINES rs VERY FAVORABLE.
Holiday Transactions Promise Well
"A General Review of
Conditions.

New York, Dec s. Bradstreet's
says: Developments have been main
ly favorable. Cooler weather has
helped retail trade, stimulated re-
orders from jobbers and improved
collections, except in portions of the
south, where holding of cotton is re-
ported. Heavy dry goods, clothing.
shoes, groceries and hardware note
relatively most activity. Holiday
trade has opened we'll and promises
very large aggregate. Railway earn
ings testify to heavy traffic, with
gains over year ago, and car short
ages are feature in widesy separated
sections. Among the industries the
feeling is optimistic, notably in iron
and steel, coal, lumber and kindred
lines. Money is more active. General
ly speaking, the feeling in trade and
industry is optimistic, the only draw
backs noted being that manufacturers
are confronted with prospective high
costs of production, and the prevailing
western drought renders the outlook
for the winter wheat crop unfavorable
at present"
R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says: Holiday goods are NOV
| ing freely, and in staple lines there is
more activity, even the products that
are between seasons finding fair
market. Packing and shipping de-
| partments are increasing forces, and
( traffic congestion at several points in
dicates that the growth of business
has overtaxed railway facilities.
Earnings of all roads reporting for
| November show an average gain or
| IL per cent. over last year. Struc-
tural work increases and car shops
are crowded with orders, while many
idle steel mills have resumed. For
eign commerce at this port for the
last week shows an increase of $2,3O4,
39S in value of imports as compared
with last year, and a loss of $2,O35, III
