The paymaster general says that In
view OF the past unsatisfactory expert
enoe with combinations OF rations and
particularly as the new navy ration Is
considered sufficient In all respects to
actually subsist the men. Il would seem
that the time has surely come when
Communication should cease. His re-
port expresses qualification over the
practical elimination Of the middleman
and speculator IN bidding for naval
supplies and the fact that the number
OF reputable dealers and manufacturers
not heretofore dealing with the navy
has materially increased

started fire which swept over sew
eral acres, burning three other factory
buildings. the Boston G. Maine rail-
road station, and a number OF small
dwellings. besides causing injuries to
II persons. That there was no loss or
life Is attributed to the fact that the
explosion occurred just before the time
for the factory operatives to begin
work. The financial loss is estimated
at $4,000.
OF the injured, six are at the hospital.
None will die, II is believed.
The explosion, besides shatterlng the

NJ. J. Worthley Shoe company.
The force OF the explosion burst the
four machinery loaded floors of the
Harvey factory and lifted the roof.
The wreckage spread outward, shat
tering the walls OF nearby structures
and aiding the spread of the flames,
despite the heavy snow and sleet
storm that had started early in the
day.
In a brief space OF time the West
Lynn station of the Boston q Maine
railroad was ON fire. Unchecked by the
wide gap occupied by the railroad
tracks. the flames reached structures
on the other side, licking up nrst me
leather stock factory of the Jacobs
company and then sweeping through
the district covered by small wooden
tenemente.
Al 0 O'Clock the police reported that
apparently no persons had been killed,
but up to that time nine persons had
been taken TO the hospital. II Is be-
lieved none was fatally hurt.
BY 10 o'clock the fire was under con-
