DESTRUCTION OF CITY
 HALL IN SPRINGFIELD
SWEETEST MOVING BLAZE EYER
 FOUGHT IN THAT PLACE.

Confagration Only Ayerted by Absence
 of wind-Food Fair in Progress on
 Second Floor but Few Were in At
 tendance at the Time-Sixty Occu-
 pants of the DuiIding Had Narrow
 Escape.
 Springfield. Mass, Jan. 6.-City hall,
 a two-story brick structure completed
 in 1855 at cost of s75.O0o, was destroy ed to-day by the swiftest-moving blaze ever fought in this city. The building,
 facing Court square on Court street, was separated from the rear of large business blocks by only a narrow alley
 way, and but for the absence of wind a contiagration could hardly have been averted. ..l 5,s-.r .
 There-is a general feeling of relief to- night that Ilo. lives were sacrificed, as
 must almost certainly have been the case had the flames broken out at.
 less oppOrtune hour. A food fair was in progress on the second floor, and
 later in the afternoon the large audito-
 rum would have been well filled. As it was, the fire occurred at the noon hour, when the building was practically de-
 serted. : The flames originated in an anteroom at the rear of the second floor, and are supposed to have been caused by the upsetting of a kerosene lamp by a
 trained monkey owned by an exhibitor. A score of booths constructed of soft
 wood and canvas and hundreds of
 yards of bunting, with which the hall
 was decorated. afforded ready fuel for the flames, and City Messenger $. P.
 Burns, who was the last to leave the | building, said that; three minutes after the blaze was discovered the whole in : terlor was in flames. Before the fire- men from the Pyncheon street house. situated less than seyenty-fiye feet from the rear of city hall, could get to work on the fire the building was be- yond the possibility of saving. .+* X e The sixty people in the building, for " of whom were on the second floor, barely escaped with their lives. Miss ! Helen Emery, of the mayors office, and Miss Emma Fuller, of the city clerks office were partly overcome by smoke and required assistance in leaving the building. The exact loss to the city ' Will not be known for some time as it IS believed that valuable papers have been destroyed. A city official said to- might that he feared the loss to the Eeity would not De. less than s20o, GOO. l The contents of many of the safes in the offices Of the city officials on the first floor will, it is thought, be found { intact. E There is. however, much doubt about the recovery of any of. the con, tents of the assessors office. Here an old fashionel vault was in use. and 1t is believed that valuable city records which cannot be replaced have been de stroyed. >.F$ s7&a
 Tonight the city government met at the court house and put on foot a4l in vestigation of the city's loss. There had long been an agitation against the use as a public hall of the building, which had only front, and rear exits, and at to-night's meeting it was suggested that a. new structure might be built for the use of the city officials, but without provision for a public assembly i hall. ~.5s * .s

Fall of the Fortress.

ot hhG N VEthSSss
 Washington, Jan. 6.-Japan has made no overtures for peace to Russia, di- rectly or indirectly, through the Unit ed States or any other power, she con- templates no such action, and now that Port Arthur has fallen purposes to press the war in the north all the more vigorously by reinforcing the Japanese armies at Liae Yang with the greater part of the troops which have been be- seiging Port Arthur. This in brief rep resents the views of Mir. Kogoro Taka- hira, the Japanese minister, who re- gently has resumed charge of the lega- tion at Washington after long illness at New York. .:-
 'The fall of Port Arthur" said the minister, 'is but a step in the war which Japan is waging for principle. Certainly 1t is an important step but nothing could be further from the truth than the assumption that because Ja- pan has captured stronghold, the fall of which has been long expected, the Japanese government will now make overtures for peace. Japan is too busy fighting.
 We are as much in earnest to-day as we were at the outset of the war. We have made no overtures for peace either directly or indirectly, nor have the pow CTS approached us with any idea of in- tervention." At the Russian embassy it was re. iterated that Russia would fight all the harder in view of the loss of Port Ar thur. ,... - Europe, it Is learned, is firmly of the conviction that however dark the out look for peace in this moment, when the prospect brightens 1t is to President Roosevelt that the neutrals as well as the belligerents will look as the inter mediary through whom peace negotia- l tions will be initiated. A European ambassador said: The American gov ernment is practically the only govern ment to which both beiligerents will be willing to look for assistance in se- curing settlement when the time comes. and aside from this fact the high personal regard in which the president is held both at St. Petersburg and To. kio makes it all the more probable that through him, when Russia and Japan have fought their fight, the powers may 1 hope for peace"

 Washington. Jan. 6.-The nomination of Dr. W. D. Crum. a negro. to be col Iector Of customs for the port of Charleston, s. C., was confirmed by the senate in executive session to-day by a vote Of s3 to IT. Crum had been nominated by the president three times and in addition had received three recess appointments. He is now serving under the last of these recess appointments. Confirmation was op- posed by Senator Tillman, who ob- jected to the appointment of a negro.
 Senator Tillman made speech de- voted almost entirely to the question of the constitutional right of the pres ident to make a recess appointment when no actual recess had occurred, the senate having adjourned one ses- sion and begun another at noon of the same day. He introduced at the last session of congress a resolution on the subject of constructive recesses, which was referred to the committee of the Judiciary. Senator Platt of Connecti- cut, chairman of that committee, said the resolution had been referred to a subcommittee and that he expected a report would be made later.
 The race issue played a very insig- nificaut part in the debate, which, was participated in by fully a dozen sena- s8TIsEF*E 2f2H = F %t tors.
 When Crum receives his commission he will be entitled to receive the sal- ary which has been accumulated since his first appointment. :
