 All On Equal Terms.
 Many side lights of an interesting char acter might be thrown on the situation here, but without question that whleh strikes one most is the equality upon which the millionaire and the paoper stand in this community. To see the man of means shouldering the poverty-sfrlek- en laborer in the long lines extending from the baker shops, where the bfeau is dispensed, is almost as much or spectacle as was the great fire itseif.
 At a joint meeting this evening Of the finance committee and the chairmen or all the emergency committees 1t was as serted that the loss of life caused by the catastrophe is fewer than 300. It was also ascertained that the expense incurred by the different committees in carrying on their divers duties are thus far con sidered far less than expected. The state ment of MT.
