DAMAGES
Bic WAREHOUSE

Flames burst forth from the wagon and
hardware material establishment of Wa
terhouse & Lester on Howard street near
First shortly after midnight this morn
ing, and before the Fire Department had
the blaze under control the center of four
floors of the building had been eaten
away. The fire was hard to fight, as the
firemen were unable to get at it. The
damage will amount to about 100000, fully
covered by insurance.
Watchman Henry Beatty of the Morse
patrol smelt smoke shortly after II
O'Clock and turned in still alarm. The
underwriters hurried to the scene and
worked for nearly an hour without find
ing where the blaze started. They were
about to abandon their search when
flames began to shoot out from the top
floor Of the building. Beatty then turned
in an alarm and when the engines ar
rived a second was sent in and a third
soon followed -.-.
. The fire worked its wsy.rapidly down
to the fourth floor of the big building,
but confined itself to the center of the
structure. The firemen rugged up the
water tower and batteries and spiayed
them on the walls of adjoining struc-
lures to prevent the spread of the blaze.
It was feared at first that the fire
would get from under control of the de-
adjoining. But the firemen did their work
well, and in half an hour the blaze was
pretty well under control.
The FIRE created great excitement in the
neighborhood, which is composed largely
of tenement houses. The occupants of
the various apartments rushed into the
streets Chief Sullivan while giving or
ders to his men had a narrow escape
from being struck by a huge standpipe
which was being raised near the Howard
street side of the building.
On the eighth floor, where the, fire
started is stored quantity of paints,
oils and sawdust, and it is the opinion
of Fire Marshal Towe that the blaze was
the result of spontaneous combustion.
On the four floors underneath were stored
quantities of wagon wood and dimsy
material which furnished food for the
flames.
F. w. waterhouse, vice president and
secretary of the firm, arrived on the scene
shortly after the flames were under con-
troll He estimated the loss at about
$3e, 600 He said the building was valued
at $4,000 and that it was separated into
two parts by a fire wall. The flames
only damaged the rear portion of the
place. The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.

From either moral or material participa-

claimed all sympathy but which is never
theless made to appear to be the policy
of this Government by the Interpretation

REPLY TO PRESIDENT.
ssThe members of this delegation feel
confident that they will not appeal to you
in vain in asking that remedy should
be sought for the anomalous and un-
satisfactory condition of the existing re-
lations between this country and the
Chinese empire.
President Roosevelt responded cordially
He took exception to the intimation that
the immigration officers were too insistent
in the enforcement of the law, but in
other respects agreed with the delegation
that it would be proper for this Govern
ment to encourage friendly relations with
China. He proposed to do all in his power
to promote United States trade with
China and to promote generally the ex-
port trade of American producers, farmers
as we'll as manufacturers. He promised to
take up the subject with Secretary Met
calf of the Department of Commerce and
Labor and other officials, and to do all
possible to remedy the difficulty
The immigration officials insist that
there is no undue severity in the enforce
ment of the laws and tnat they are only
carried out to the letter, because the sit
uation demands 1t. In the matter OF the
admission of Chinese students. of which
the Asiatic Association complains, the
record shows that during last year there
were only seventy-two applications. and
all except two were admitted The ex-
illusions were on account of disease, and
not due to the operation Of the exclusion
laws at all, but to the immigration law.
