NEARLY So, 900, 600 WORTH OF
PROPERTY WIPED OUT By
FIERCE FLAMES.
Elevators, Cars, Freight and Resl-
dences are Devoured by Flames
Many Firemen Injured But No
Lives are Lost.

New Orleans, Feb 17.-Fire involv-
ing millions of dollars loss in property
and one that strikes a serious blow at
the immense export trade of New
Orleans swept the river-front last
night and wiped out the vast freight
terminals of the Illinois Central,
known as the Stuyvesant docks. Near.
ly dozen squares of modern wharves
and freight sheds, two magnificent
grain elevators, hundreds of loaded
cars and vast quantities of freight in
cluding 10000 bales of cotton, were de-
stroyed. together with large number
of small residences.
The fire was still still raging furi-
ously at midnight, at which time it
had almost reached the upper end of
of the Illinois Central property.
1t has not been deter mined whether
there has been any loss of life. The
ocean-going shipping seems to have
escaped serious damage. A number of
fremen and employees of the docks
were injured. Actual estimates of the
losses are impossible now, though they
may exceed $1,000, 900.
The Stuyvesant docks extend from
| Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon
avenue, a distance of twelve squares
! The wharves between these two points
were covered with miles of trackage
and steel and iron sheds ran the whole
distance.
The two grain elevators were of the
most modern construction, the upper
one having a capacity of a million
bushels. Thousands of bales of cot
! ton, several hundred thousand pack
ages of sugar, great quantities of cot
ton seed oil and oll-cakes, lumber and
every conceivable variety of freight
filed the warehouses and sheds
Practically all the export business
handled by the Illinois Central was put
abroad ships at these docks. The
docks and improvements have been un-
der construction for ten years, elabor-
ate extensions and immense invest
ments having been made after the CON
stitutional convention of 1898 made it
possible for the road to invest perma-
nently at this point.
At midnight more than nine squares
Of terminals had been completely de-
stroyed and it seemed unlikely that
the fire would be checked until it
reached Napoleon avenue which is a
| very broad street.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Don't Elevate Railroad Tracks.
Q Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
No one who has ever seen the railroads
leading into Chicago from the southwest
would consider for a moment the eleva
ton Of the railroad tracks in order to do
away with grade crossings.
The southwestern portion Of Chicago is
hopelessly ruined, as far as appearance is
concerned, by the monstrous ernbank-
ments of crushed rock, which are not only
hideous in themselves, but practically
throw all adjacent property into deep
holes, and also make even more conspicu-
Gus than before the vast numbers of
freight cars loaded with cattle, hogs, coal
and other useful but unlovely things that
are carried upon the railroads.
In this matter we are building not for
ten nor for twenty years, but for q hun
dred-perhaps for hundreds. Let us do
it right. The only right way is to sink the
tracks below the surface.
The question of the additional cost
should not be considered for a moment
If the expense is greater than the rail-
roads can justly be required to bear lei
| the city bear a fair share Of it. 1t will
be worth it's cost many times over.

DIR. HANsRRoUGH AND DR.. SHAW
New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post.
Senator Hansbrough, in a personal let
ter to Secretary Shaw, renews his pro-
est against the wheat drawback in
the following terms: First, tariff duties
are imposed either for protection or for
revenue, or for both purposes; hence
cannot DO reduced unless the reduction
can be shown to be protective or reve-
producing. Second the drawback
on raw materials manufactured for eX-
port is legal only when the material can
be traced from origin to shipping invoice.
On the first count Senator Hansbrough
seems to set up the principle that any
provision in tariff law for reducing the
rates is immoral, unconstitutional and
void. Under the second head he demands
that each grain of wheat should be traced
from it's Canadian sheaf thru the hoppers
of ST. Paul and Minneapolis to the hold
of its transoceanic freighter-in short
that the simple method Of tallying Cana
dian wheat into the mill and export flour
out is illegal, because no man can say
that that flour was made from that wheat
Two such subtle doctors as Senator Hans
brough and Secretary Shaw must be lef
to their own solution Of this coil. It is
only to be hoped that, if the senator
should ever be called to administer TIN
national finances, he will close no nationa
bank because it's reserve happens to be IL

ed in by the receiving teller.
