Millions Of Barrels Of Oil Destroyed at

Humble. Tex. July 25.-Ffre started
Sunday In tank belonging to the

ming striking the oil. 1t was held in

Covering an area of three-quarters
OF n mile square. with a great canopy
OF smoke covering two square miles.
the oil tanks of the Texas company
continue to boil and bubble under the
great heat of the burning oil. the fire
having burned since Sunday.
When 1t can be extinguished no one
guesses. Certainly not until it has
burned all OF the oil in the eleven big
tanks, which held 2.500,000 barrels
when lightning struck them Sunday
afternoon.
The loss of life in the oil fields as
near as can be ascertained is twelve.
but no names can be ascertained. The
company declines to make any esti-
mate OF its loss or to give out any In
surance figures. but oil men place the
loss at 100000 barrels of oil, valued
at s562,500; pumping plant. damage
to tanks, mules. etc, at $4,000 or
more. It is reported that the fire has
spread to the tanks of the Guffey com
pany- The property loss. therefore.

Shortly after the big tank began to
blaze 200 workmen with seventy-five

fine the fire to the tank where it origi-
mated.

got out. but at least forty of the
mules baked and were cremated

Kaiser and Gar Meet.

Berlin. July 25.-The foreign Office
here is advised that a meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Nicho-
las took place early yesterday off the
Swedish coast near the island of Bjoer-
koe.
The meeting of the two emperors
took place on the initiative of Emperor
Nicholas.
The prevailing idea is that the Rus
sian Emperor desired an outside opin-
ion from a ruler of his own rank on
the internal situation in Russia. His
invitation to Emperor William is re-
garded as being the result of friend
ship and confidence in him.
Although the meeting is considered
as being of high Importance for Russia,
1t cannot signify any change in Ger
many's policies toward Japan or Rus
STA. Emperor William had not seen
the Russian Emperor since the autumn
of 1903, at Wiesbaden. The German
Emperor went within easy distance Of
st. Petersburg because it would be i'm
polite for Emperor Nicholas to leave
the country and visit German waters.
The meeting is a sequence to the cor
respondence that has been going on be-
tween the two emperors concerning
peace in which Emperor William urged
Emperor Nicholas to take steps toward
peace.

Cabinet viii Not Resign.

London, July 25.-The government
has no intention of resigning in conse-

This was the gist of Premier Balfour's
eagerly anticipated statement in the
House of Commons yesterday.
Mr. Balfour. who was heartily
cheered by his supporters on rising.
tried the patience of his hearers
somewhat by long disquisition on
how former administrations had ig-
nored defeats similar to that of Thurs
day for resignation or dissolution and
announced that the government did
not propose either to resign or dissolve
Parliament because of Thursdays oc-
currence.
The premier considered that it
would be grave evil If the tenure of
ministers was made dependent on such
votes as that OF Thursday. He hoped
the practice would never prevail of al
lowing a government united in itself
and possessing the confidence of the
majority of the House, to abandon its
post merely in consequence Of such a
