Four Business Buildings at Johns
town, Pa, Burn, with Loss Of
More Than 100000.

Johnstown, Pa, March 29.-Fire
which broke out in the business Sec
ton of the city shortly after midnight
Tuesday night was not fully under con-
troll until after daylight. when 1t had
burned itself out, after destroying four
large business structures and causing
a loss of more than $50O,OOO. During
the progress of the fire William Camp
bell. fireman, was caught under q
falling wall and probably fatally in
jured.
Flames were first seen issuing from
the second floor of the Swanll Hard
ware company's five-story brick office
building at the corner of Main and
Bedford streets. Just how the fire
originated is not known, but when it
was discovered 1t was beyond control.
The following buildings were de-
stroyed: Swank building, loss, $780,
600; Henderson Furniture company's
store, loss $4,000; Fishers wholesale
liquor house, loss $4,000; the Journal

A score of tenants in the various

ing 100000. These tenants include
City Solicitor c. c. Greer, whose Of
fee confined many valuable city doc
uments. About Is per cent. of the
losses are covered by insurance.

COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED
sAoREE1ENT LOOKED FOR ON
STATEHOOD BILL.
Arizona and New Mexico Nay BE
Allowed to Decide Question Of Ad-
mission for Themselves.

Washington, March 29.-That the
senate and house will reacn q compro-
mise agreement on the statehood bill
which will permit Arizona and New
Mexico each to decide for themselves
the question of their admission as one
state seems a correct conclusion from
present Indications. The conferees
met Wednesday for the second time,
and while the session was devoted to
what are termed the minor amend
ments, there are indications that a
basis of agreement on the chief Ques-
ton is suggesting itself naturally, and
will result in the restoration of Arizona
and New Mexico to the bill with the
Foraker amendment. and inquiry
among the senators who opposed the
original house bill indicates that they
will accept this compromise. The SEN
ate amendment defining the limits of
the prohibition territory in Oklahoma
Is regarded as the result of q general
agreement among all parties interest
ed and is acceptable. Likewise there
seems little objection to the senate pro-
vision allowing lieu school lands to
be selected in place of school lands
found to be mineral land. Other SEN
ate amendments are to be considered
Friday.
Washington, March 29.-Canal legis-
lation at the present session of con-
gress is regarded as extremely i'm
probable. even by the members of the
senate committee, which for two
months has been meeting nearly every
day to investigate conditions on the
Isthmus of Panama and prepare itself
tosreport a bill. Several wasks ago it
was decided to postpone temporarily
the investigation of criticisms that had
been made against the management of
canal affairs and to devote the time
to a discussion of the type of canal
to be constructed. The committee is
divided on this subject, and there is
no indication that the witnesses called
and the testimony taken have tended
toward harmonizing the views of the
members.
Advocates of the lock level canal
proposed by the minority of the board
of consulting, engineers are apparent
ly confident that this plan will be fol-
lowed. They have pointed out that ii
no agreement is reached by congress
the president, in his message trans
hitting the two reports of the board,
has given notice that the administra-
ton will proceed with the construc-
tiOn of the lock canal. It Is generally
believed that the sentiment in con-
gress is largely in favor of building
the waterway by contract. 1t has been
suggested that congress by joint reso-
luton may take action In this regard
If a canal bill is not agreed upon.
