Philadelphia, March 26.--'In the
event that Russia is victorious in the
war with the Japanese the probable
result will be an agreement between
the European nations for the partition
of China. In this division each power
would control dts own territory. and as
we do not want and would not have
any territory we would not have an
equal chance. Such result certainly
would be unwelcome'

Social Science last night The subject
of discussion was srfle Struggle in the

NEARLY HALF MILLION LOSS
Entire Fire Department Called Out to
Fight the FIames-Express Com
panies Are Heavy Losers Eighteen
Firemen Have Narrow Escapes From
Death-one Slightly injured.

| New York, March 26.-The building
| on 81 Broadway, occupied by the Nor
ris Express Company, is burning, the
Adams Express building, adjoining 1t,
is doomed, and the American Express
building is threatened. The occupants
of all these buildings have removed, It
is believed, safely. The fire is spread
ing rapidly. From o'clock until II the
alarm was sounded. At noon the
flames attacked the buildings on 81 and
| SO Broadway, corner of Exchange al
ley. The top floors were occupied by
the Pinkerton Agency and their valua-
Bile records are in danger. The Empire
building, one Of the finest ofice build
ings in the city, is greatly endangered.
The fremen are much hampered in
their work by the immense crowd OF
spectators.
The "double-nine' alarm, the big
gest signal used by the fire department.
has just been turned in. The flames
have reached the roof of the American
Express Company building and that
building probably will be destroyed.
The fire has also attacked the buildings
on Church street used as stables by
the several express companies.
Eighteen fiji emen who were WORKING
their way into the Adams Express
Company's building had remarkably
narrow escape from betrg crushed by
the falling walls. They had just en-
tered the building when three upper
stories caved in and fell with crash
just as the men gained the street. With
the collapse Of the floors the fire biased
| up more fiercely than before.
Later-It Is now believed that fna
fire IL under control, as the flames do
not seem to be spreading beyond the
building on 81 Broadway where they
started, and No. So. into which the
flames burned an entrance soon after
the fire was discovered.
The loss is estimated at $400 900. Az
far as known only one person, fire-
| nan, was injured during the fire and
his hurts are slight.
The building at 81 Broadway was de-
stroyed; numbers ST. So and 63 were
scorched and damaged by water. The
American and Adams express compan-
les suffered considerable loss by water,
but their buildings were not greatly
damaged.
