SOUR LAKE SWEPT
BY A GREAT FIRE
MAIN BUSINESS SECTION OF
TEXAS TOWN is DESTROYED
AND 1T is FEARED MANY PEo-
PIE PER;sHED-Loss 100000.

Sour Lake, Tex, January PA de-
structive fire swept Sour Lake today
and destroyed the main business portion
of the town, causing an estimated loss Of
100000
The fire began in the second story of
the First National bank building. Wheth-
er there was any loss of life will proba-
bly, never be known. Hundreds of women
and men, half of whose names were prac-
hcally unknown, roomed in the second
story of the buildings that were de-
stroyed, and several persons could have
been burned to death and never missed
Screams were heard at different times
when 1t looked as If an exit from the
burning buildings was impossible, but the
destruction was so complete that no char
red remains can be found. of If they were.
they could not be identified.
After the fire had ragged for two hours
and destroyed four of the principal bus
mess blocks of the town. the efforts of
the fire department. assisted by hundreds
of volunteers and many other pressed In
to service, finally prevailed, and the fire
was gotten under control.
The flames, however, were carried to the
block north and for a time the Cannon
tract, with its $50 oil wells was threaten
ed with destruction. This catastrophe
was averted by a squad of volunteer
firemen, who with buckets and axes re-
moved the fuel from the fires path.

PANAMA QUESTION
STILL THE TOPIC
SENATE HAS NO PROGRAMME

Washington. January 24-TShe senate

the Panama question Tine fact that the
German resolution of inquiry was dis
posed of last week, does not change
the situation, except that it makes nec-
essary anew basis for speeches. This
will be supplied in the resolutions of in
quiry to be introduced tomorrow as a
result Of yesterdays conference of DEM
ocratic senators. A number of addresses
are still to be made on both sides of
the controversy, and it is quite certain that
the debate will continue for many days.
1t is we'll understood on both sides of
the chamber that in reality the treaty

Itself could not be discussed in open SEN
ate. whereas the resolution can be. The
democrats prefer an open discussion of
the question, and the republicans, as a
matter of policy, and in the interest of
the expedition of the vote on the treaty,
have not objected. When it becomes ap-
parent that the discussion in open ses-
sion is represed, executive sessions will
be ordered and the debate will proceed
behind closed doors.
1t is quite well understood that the
amendments to the treaty reported by the
committee on foreign relations will be
withdrawn before final action Is taken.

in SUSQUEHANNA
FOR DISTANCE OF THIRTY MILES
RIVER is ENTIRELY BLOCKED
AND MUCH SUFFERING REPORT
ED FROM SUBMERGED TOWNS.

Willkesbarre, Pa, January 24-Tele-
phone advices received here tonight by

several houses have been moved from
their foundations. The great majority of
the farms are also submerged.
At Bloomsbury, the Ice is jamed up

many had narroY escapes. Farmers in
many instances had all their livestock

SPINNERS ALARMED
BY THE SITUATION
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF COTTON
HAS DISTURBED MANCHESTER
MANUFACTURERS AND THERE
is MUCH COMPLAINT.

Manchester, January 24-As a result OF
the sharp advance in the price of cotton,
the position of spinners and manufactur-
ers has become increasingly serious. Spin
ners are complaining bitterly at the
meagre turnover and the difficulty Of me-
gotiating business. What little business
transpires comes in an irregular way, and
barely suffces to prevent srindles and
looms from coming to an absolute stand
still.
The tone of the cloth market, however,
was not worse last week and there ap-
pears to exist more confidence in the
maintenance of high values for some
time. Some time buyers, tired Of waiting
for a decline, placed their orders where
they were able to get favorable terms.
There were some transactions in fine fab
RIGS and lower qualities OF shirting with
India, while China and the smaller out
let's were quiet.
The turnover in yarns was restricted,
although in some directions cops from
American cotton were in fair demand
Stocks show no signs of decreasing, not
withstanding the shorter hours of work.

TWO BILLS WILL
Be BEFORE HOUSE
PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE WEEK
WILL BE DEVOTED TO CoNSlD-
GRAFTON OF THE ARMY AND
URGENT DEFICIENCY BILLS.

Washington January 24.-The house
will devote practically the entire week
to consideration of the army and urgent
deficiency appropriation bills. The former
is now before the house, and Chairman
Hemenway of the committee on appro-
priations has given notice that the latter
measure will be called Immediately on
the disposition of the former.
Friday will be private calendar day. OPP
portunity will be given each day imme-
diately on convening, or just before ad-
journment, to secure action upon minor
measures but any bill which is likely to
precipitate debate will not be permitted
to come before the public during the PEN
dency of the two appropriation bills mem
toned.
The army bill is being read under the
five minute rule in committee of the
whole for purposes of amendment, and
thus far less than one-third of its pro-
visions have been considered. Unless
some of the paragraphs become the sub
jects of extended discussion final action
cannot be had on the bill in one more
day.

articles of freight in the sheds and be-

After laboring from 5 o'clock in the
morning until 2 o'clock this afternoon the

Vienna, January 24-Reports are being

Francis Joseph and brother of the heir
presumptive to the throne, Arch Duke
Francis Ferdinand is determined to mar
ry Bertha Zuber, daughter of a professor
of mathematics in Vienna university, and
it is even asserted that the wedding is set

however. declares that these reports
should be received with the utmost
serve. 1t says also that Emperor Francis
Joseph, without whose consent it is in
conceivable that the arch duke will con-
tract such union, has never been ap-
preached on the subject, and that 1t is I'M
possible to foretell what his decision
would be In case the proposition reached
him.
According to all reports, the nearest
relatives of the arch duke are doing their
utmost to pursuade him to abandon the
project, but as to the result of their ef-
forts. the reports are conflicting.
