LARGE ELEVATOR is BURNED
over SOO.OOO Bushels of Grain De-
strOyed by Fire in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9-The Santa Fe eleva-
for, controlled by Harris, Scotten Co,
and containing sI5, 900 bushels of grain. was
destroyed by fire today. Loss S725,OOO; fully
insured.
The building, located at Twenty-seventh
and Wood streets, was a ive-story frame
structure, covered by sheet iron and CORFU
gated steel.
The fire is thought to have been started
by spontaneous combustion in a wheat bin
on the top story. An explosion was heard
by several workmen, who hurried to that
floor. When they arrived they saw flames
Issuing from one of the bins. Efforts were
made TO extinguish the FIRE. but after a
short hght the men were forced to fee
from the building. Meantime the fire de-
partment had been notified but before the
FIRST detachment arrived the flames had
made a way to the first floor OF the build
ing and got beyond control. The hremen
experienced considerable dicfiulty in reach
ing the fire and obtaining water, although
twenty engines and two fire tugs were at
the scene. The nearest water plug TO the
fire was more than 200 feet away. while
others were almost 400 yards from the
building. The elevator is controlled by the
Harris-Scotten company, grain brokers, and
was valued at $4,000.

RUWoRs OF A SECRET AGREEMENT
London Hears that Japan and Russia
Have Not Disclosed All the
Terms of the Treaty
of Peace.

TOXIC Sept So p. m-CDelayed in
Transmission To-day and this evening
were almost without incident A few
crowds collected at various points and
made slight demonstrations against the
police stations, but there was no fighting or
disorder.
Better feeling followed the conferences at
Premier Katsura's house today, the actual
provisions Of the treaty proving slightly
more satisfactory than had been expected.
This had a tendency to allay resentment
against the government, and the premier s
promise that there would be a session OF
the Diet in October also tends TO improve
the situation.
There is a growing belief that physical
violence will speedily end and that the OPP
ponents of the government will use only
ordinary political methods.
It Is generally believed that the Katsura
cabinet will retire when the Diet meets
General Sakuna, who established his
headquarters at the War ONCE and directed
the military operations and policing Of the
city from there. has withdrawn the guards
from the foreign legations, which are
deemed In no danger and without the> >neces-
sity Of strong protection. However. sem
tries in small squads, continue to watch
the legations and the military patrols have
been extended in order to completely pro-
tect the city.
There have been no further demonstra-
tions against churches or missions. 1t was
feared for a time that the crowds might
menace the larger foreign missionary es-
Establishments at Tsukiji and Aoyama but
the principal establishments have not been
disturbed.
The suspension Of street car trafic about
town has made the city more quiet than
usual and in several cases guards have
patroled the deserted streets. The police
lines about the Nokumin office have been
drawn in around the building.
The situation in other cities is being
keenly watched. Apparently the trouble is
not spreading. There has been some dis
order at Chiba, Kobe and Kyoto, though It
has not been serious.
Anti-peace meetings held In n1as1y cities
and towns are passing resolutions denoun-
cling the stttlement at Portsmouth, but are
not interfered with unless they result in
breaches of the peace.
The destruction of the statue of Marquis
Ito is generally resented and deplored. 1t is
pronounced to have been an act of ire
sponsible rowdies. 1t is reported tonight
that the statue was recovered and con-
veyed to a warship lying in Kobe harbor.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

The indications are that farmers are
not going to sell much cotton for less
than ten cents, and very little under
the minimum fixed at Asheville OF
eleven cents. the hammering of the
market, therefore, by the bears has
not created any panic among growers
and the commotion is confined almost
entirely to the ring habitues. The
banks in the country towns are TAX
ing care of holders who are pressed
for money on a safe margin and the
grower is entirely content to wait un-
til the spinner, in the vernac,llar of
the street, is ready to come across.
Granted a crop of ten and half
million bales and consumption of r.
100000, there will be deficit in sup
ply to meet the demand and that
means that cotton is worth more than
the price offered for it today The
spinners are not vitality concerned:
the price of the finished product is
fixed by the cost of the raw material,
and if twelve or fifteen cents is paid
for the staple, the consumer of dry
goods pays the difference. The mills
are all busy; more spindles are at
work today than ever before in the
history of cotton manufacture and
there is no prospect of any diminution
of activity. The logic of the situation.
then, is that the grower is entirely
justified in not yielding to the hammer
of the bears. who alone are vitally
and acutely interested in keeping
down prices.
