Coffin Bros store and warehouse
at Toppenish was burned to the ground
on Tuesday night, together with the
contents. The total loss is estimated
at sl7,500. The building was worth
$4,000 and the stock of goods $4,000.
The total loss is estimated at $17,5OO.
About $4,000 insurance covered the
building and stock of goods.
The store was opposite the Northern
Pacific passenger station at Toppen-
ish. The first report that was receiv-
ed here was to the effect that the de-
pot was on fire and would be burned
to the ground. The local fire depart
ment was called on by Superintendent
Beamer at Spokane, but its services
were not required. The roof OF the
depot caught fire, but the damage
done was light.
I'VE have been in business for %
years" said Arthur Coffin this morn
ing. "and we never had a fire before
until this spring. Misfortunes seen
never to come singly. l hope this will
be our last fire. We shall rebuild al
Toppenish and will put up a fire-proot
building, or at least one that is sup.
posed to be fire proof. 1 do not know
what started the fire. Possibly it wa.
spontaneous combustion. That i.

not know how the fire started."-

priated for work on the isthmian
canal is payable from or reimbursable
to the treasury out of bonds that are
authorized to be sold for that purpose,

Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only s74l,o0O, 600 to be met out Of

NATURE SPARES


What n fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height OF its

were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable

Work Of CONGRESS,

I "a ,ytl
This session Of tho Interparliamentary
Union was called to pass upon the reports
filed in juno by tho two commissions
which were appointed ut the Brussels
session last August. II was considered
wise to have an extraordinary session Of
4 the union, SO that its entire weight might
+ be back OF theErequest for the conversion
of the Second Hague Conference into u
permanent body when this proposition
is represented to the members of that
conference next May In the form Of a
Z report approved unanimously by the mem-
I bers OF the Interparliamentary Commits
Jion.
This will be, of course, the most impor-
tant point on the programme of the ELon-i
i don Conference. but hardly less mpor-
8tailt is the report OF the commission on
! y model arbitration treaty. That COM
mission, like the one on International
Congress. is composed OF very eminent
men. It's president is Ernst Won Plcner.
ex-Minister of Finance of Austria. He
I was for many years the leader Of the
German party In tho Austrian Parlia-
ment. This commits sion had to grapple
with these problems:
~ How toadraG'a treaty Of arb- Il
Isl trntion which can be executed by all "A
nations, without holding the progress
sive countries back to the position of {
$,3 the least advanced powers.
it' (2) How to draw treaty which
can hope TO be approved by the Pres.
ident and Senate Of the United States.
without FORGETTING tho favor OF the
great powers OF Europe, that have 4
4 adopted rs their standard tho Anglo Is
French treaty Of arbitration.
Plan Proposed.
This latter problem arose from the
+ failure Of the Hay treaties to meet VILE
the approval of the United States In the
form In which they were negotiated, The
SHaystreaties proposed toirefer to arbltrf'
tion all questions OF q legal nat0le,
provided they 10 not affect the vital IN
i serest or the honor OF either Of the con-
\ tracing powers. or the interests OF
THIRD power A subsequent clause was
inserted which provided That when an!
particular controversy might arise su3,
81 Bequent agreement should be entered Into
Between the contracting powers, before
resort he had to the Court Of Arbitration
under the terms OF this treaty,
The Senate struck out the word "agree
g ment" and substituted the word treaty
and then passed the treaty thus amended
by practically unanimous vote, onl,
