I'm particular, what are your views on
the question of the powers of the governor
ernor Of Finnish provinces? On the sup
preston Of the right Of public meeting and
of the expression of the popular will in the
Finnish press? On the conversion of Finn
ish government funds to purely Russian

Further Is II the cars intention to call

IF so, will he permit the free and open
discussion of the various administrative

Fire Of Unknown Origin.

Fire broke out in a shed at the rear Of
52 r street shortly after 1 o'clock yssters
day afternoon and before 1t was extin.
guished It caused damage amounting to five
hundred dollars, partly destroying the
sheds adjoining Nos. 4S, 80. 81 and o. II
street. The loss Is partly insured. The
origin of the blaze is unknown. but IL 10
thought to have been started by the care
less handling of matches by children In the
alley. or by the explosion of some comous.
tible material. AS nothing of the latter ma
ture was discovered. the first-named reason
seems the most plausible.
A small boy. discovering the smoke creep-
ing up under the roof, ran 10 No II engine
house and turned in a local alarm The
fremen when they arrived found the
flames had gained such Roadway that an
alarm was turned in from box 235 at lsS
and r streets northwest. Engine compan-
les O. and ~ and truck ID responded and
soon had the fire under control
Firemen Bergauni and Barker disttr-.

This is one of several advantages of the
floating dock over the fixed masonry type.
II there is a strong tide running the dock
can be laid parallel to the current and a
vessel fioated into her with n great deal
less trouble and danger than IL there were
a swift current sweeping along at right an
giles to the sill. Also the floating dock is
not dependent on the tide for taking in a
ship.
It Is true that there are no machine shops
at Sullivans Island capable of handling
heavy repairs and vessels at present can
only use the dock there for inspection and
painting. But even for that it is very use
full. and In addition there is the considera-
ton urged by some officers that in the
emergency of war the floating dock could
b. moved to Guantanamo or some other
point where 1t was especially needed.
It is possible, therefore, that the Secretary
of the Navy may be induced after all to al
low the dock to stay at home, naval off,
GER talking to Star. reporter on the sub
ject, said:
ut might have made all the difference in
the world II the Russians had taken the
trouble to carry a floating dock with them
on their trip from st. Petersburg to the Sea
of Japan. They went slow enough on that
trip for a dock in tow to have kept with
them. When the time to fight came they
were unquestonably very foul and they had
not the speed either to maneuver or to run.
"If they had taken a dock along with
them, they could have clea ned up before
the fight and have gone into action with
the best chance that they could have had
of success. AS it was the japanese vessels
could outsail them every point and had
the advantage in the fight of being able to
choose their own positions. We need an
other dock on the Atlantic coast and L
would like very much to see the Dewey
stay here"
