Property Valued at Million
 Dollars is Destroyed
RREMEN ARE HANDICAPPED
General confiagratlon Prevented by Hard Work After Department Had combatted Flames
 Four Hours.

Butte. Mont, September A.-Fire caus- ing a loss estimated at one million dol lars today consumed the entire business portion of Butte lying between the Sho- dair block and Renshaw, on the south side of West Park street, and partially destroyed the public library.
 The fire call was turned in at $40 a. m. At noon the four-story Symons store was a mass of flames, and the public library and other places were burning simultaneously. At 1 O clock Mayor Mac Ginnk announced that the fire was un- der control. Had the blaze once crossed Main street into the old buildings on the north side of Park street, or had it not been checked at the Renshaw block, the loss would have been much greater.
 A cigar company occupied part of the ground floor and basement of the big symons Dry Goods company's building. At once the men realized that to keep the fire confined to the basement and away from the elevator shaft was the only hope of saving the block.
 The men could not enter the seat of the flames, but several went through the rear sidewalk windows and held the hose as ose as they could to the origin of the fire. Finally with a favorable change in the wind, which kept the smoke back temporarily, the firemen broke in three doors on the ground floor and poured the water in the direction of the elevator shaft. A perfect geyser of sparks and b. hing sh' ,gles spouted across the roofs of other buildings, starting flames in the Renshaw hall and in the Park building. From Il o'clock until noon the Symons building burned as freely as a bonfire, and the firemen confined their labors to saving adjacent property.
 The Miner Broadway, Harvard, Ar gyle and other buildings were licked by the flames, but good work on the part of the owners and the firemen prevented what seemed for a time a general con hagration.
 Some of the losses follow;
 Blocks totally destroyed: Maulee, York, Woodworth, Ogden.
 The following are among the estimated losses
 Symons store, Maulee and York blocks, owned by the New York Realty com pany, $6000o0 library building, s70,000; Wallkover Shoe company. $16.OoO; Ogden block. total loss; Atlantic saloon, s11 ,0OO.

 We are convinced that our delegates accepted only what was necessary for the maintenance of peace and not what would be prejudicial to the Norwegian people,
 The papers warn the younger element to avoid noisy demonstrations when the terms are published, as such demonstra- tions avail nothing and only damage the common cause

Only five of the new cases are above Canal street, and two of the new foci. The oth- brought into the city, one from Abita Springs, and one from Grand Lake, in the Barratara country.
 The Abita Springs case excites some in- terest, because that is one or the resorts in St. Tammany parish whither many Of the people of New Orleans went when the coast resorts were closed to them by quarantine. The young man it seems had been sick since last Tuesday on the third floor of the main hotel He was brought to the city and taken to the Touro in- firmary The health officer of St. Tam many parish has arranged to fumigate the hotel.

 Patients Walk to Hospital.
 The Grand Lake case was brought in on a launch to Westwego, and transferred to the Emergency hospital. This patient had only been i'll two days. The Elmer gency hospital is serving it's purpose, be- cause since the new institution has been in operation, many persons have walked to the hospital in the early stages of the Illness and the result has been that they miles in from Mllneburg. one of the lake coast resorts, to the hospital Sunday morning, just as soon as the first symp- toms of the fever hit him. Of the deaths. one Is a 12-year-old boy who was dis charged as cured from the Emergency hospital few days ago, but applied for Fe-sdn1issloh, When he had d relapse, duo to eating solid food, and the result was fatal. The other death was a 1e-year- old boy, also living down In Chartres street.
 Dr. White returned this evening from his trip to the quarantine station. where he went to formally take over the direc- ton of the business of fumigating the steamships bound for American ports and Porto Rico. This Is more of a technical than an actual change. the only differ ence being that henceforth the pratiques of vessels will be signed hy Dr. John N Thomas, the quarantine physician. as an vice Dr. White said that he found the work of fumigation carried on exactly as 1t should be done.
