Insecurity which the spectators felt
was the fact of there being boiler in
the basement. The sound of escaping
steam as this blew off occasionally
caused spectators to wonder what
would happen if the blOwing-off appa-
ia tus should fail to work, and as a re-
suit the firemen We're not hindered by
the ncarncsS of too many spectators,
as sometimes happens at fires.
Five minutes after the first alarm
was sounded, a second alarm was
pulled in by order of Chief Engineer
w. w. Berry. The companies respond
ing to the first alarm were Hose l,
Hose 4 and the Hook and Ladder. The
second alarm called Hose ..
The blaze was the hottest that has
been seen since that of the Lockwood
boarding house fire The telephone ca
bic which was strung on the eastern
side Of Ticonic street, was burned
through almost Immediately, and the
insulation of other wires over the
street took fire from the heat. a tCie-
phone pole on the opposite side of the
street was burning briskly.
Those who arrived on the scene early
say that the fire was breaking out of
window on the northern side, and
that shortly afterward the fire burst
through the other windows.
G. Fred Terry, manager of the COM
pany, was called by telephone, and ar
rived on the scene shortly after the
fire started. He tried to reach the Of
fee to save some of his personal be-
loncings, but the heat was so in
tense that he was almost oversome be-
fore he could reach the building. and
was helped to safety by the firemen.
A loss which Mr. Terry regrets more,
perhaps, than anything else, was that
of 81 portraits of Abraham Lincoln,
with which the walls of his office were
adorned.
At Gao Wednesday evening tele-
phcne call was received at the Central
fire station and the hose cart went
again to the scene to lay a line of hose.

The fire is believed to have been
caused by the electric wires. which en-
ter the building on the north side.
About 10 employees arc out of work
for awhile. but arrangements We're
made for starting up on small scale

Bishops Proposal Unex-
pected By Cabinet.
Varying Views Are Expressed
by Press Of Paris.
BRAND Asserts Conditions Pro-
posed Are Not Acceptable.

Paris Jan. 30.-Thc French cabinet
has hardly recovered from its surprise
at the proposition which the bishops
with the approval of the Pope, sub
mitted to the government for a modus
vivendi on the basis of 4 virtual lease
of the churches to the parish priests
! by the mayors and apparently some
confusion exists as to what course to
adopt.
While the off-hand remarks of Min
lister of Education BRAND in the Cham
| Der of Deputies last night during the
course of which he said that the condi-
tons proposed in behalf of the epis-
copate were unacceptable, do not
necessarily exclude the possibility of 4
compromise, the attitude of the ex-
IRENE Radicals, who are incensed at
the peremptory tone of the commune
cation and at the dispatches from
Rome representing the Vatican as be-
| ing determined unless the bishops
proposition is Immediately accepted, u
order the parish priests to leave their
churches and suspend public worship.

MANY STARVING.
Famine Conditions In
China Are Awful.
Thousands Hungry and Naked,
An Epidemic Is Feared.
Task Of Improving Conditions Too
Great For Government.

Washington, Jan. 3C.-The appalling
conditions in China as the result OF the
famine as told in Chinese newspapers
and other mail advices reaching the
state department, coupled with the
warning given by Consul General
Rodgers of the possible effects of the
outbreaks which daily are occurring in
the famine districts have attracted the
attention Of the government authori
ties and developments will be closely
watched.
One of the greatest dangers which
the relief workers confront is an cpl
demic. In the great concentration
CO amps which have been formed by ref
ugees who have fed from the stricken
districts to the south by the ten thou
sand. the people live, some of them
only partially clothed, others entirely
naked, in mud hutS held together by
mating. Medical supplies and skill are
badly needed in these camps as well as
feed and clothing.
The native authorities are doing their
utmost to control the situation, but the
task is now far beyond them and out
side aid is badly needed. Relief COM
centers, composed of high native Off
Gals and foreigners. The task appears
so gigantic that most serious conditions
will result before any Roadway is
made. The government opened public
relief works where men can secure
employment. The grand canal is being
deepeDed at Halchow. the work on the
Improvement being started merely to
give employment to some of the starry
ing persons. Estimates have been made
of the cost of feeding each starving
person and the total amount will reach
close to $4,000 daily. This estimate is
based upon calculation that 1000, 900
people are actually starving.
The government is selling grain and
salt where it can. In some instances
the public selling places had to be
closed because Of the great rush of ma
tives to buy. In Hsuchoufu in Deem
Der three or four women were crushed
10 death in the mad rush for food
The price of vegetables has doubled
and coal and coke costs more than ever
before.

| claiming that that showed that Port
| land is in earnest. He also spoke of
| the hotel accommodations of his city
and said that the hotel keepers had
agreed to give the legislators the same
rate as the travelling men.
| j. Putnam Stevens of Portland be
gan his remarks by stating that he
had done time in Augusta" He call
ed attention to the fact that the pres
ent building is not fireproof.
| Hon. Nathaniel Jones of Bangor said
that he did not represent any particular
| city or town, but that something ought
to be done, whether the capital be TAX
en- to Portland, Bangor or Caribou
Charles H. Randall of Portland called
attention to the crowded condition Of
the Hall during the hearing. He es-
| tinated the cost of new building at
S2,000,000, being the first speaker to so
far commit himself. According to his
way of figuring the State would pay
for the new building in four years.
J. II. Montgomery was called into
the hearing from the committee on ju-
dietary. He raised another laugh by
cleverly lodging anything that would
tend TO commit him in favor of Port
| land or any other city. He said that
| he should want to hear from his con-
stituents before he expressed himself
| in favor OF moving the capital to his
own beautiful town Of Camden.
| Frank Il. Milliken of Portland said:
| Let every citizen of Maine have say
| in this matter"
Luther r. Moore was found in one of
! the committee rooms and hustled into
| action. He stated that there was
strong feeling in York county that the
capital ought to be changed.
Mr. Reed closed the presentation of
arguments in favor of Portland. In
reply to questions put by members Of
the committee, he stated that there
were several sites in Portland, suitable
for the State House, that can be pur-
chased for s25. 900 or $4,000. He failed
however to say where they were To-
Gated
The Hon. Leslie c. Cornish of Au-
gusta opened the case for this city. He
said in part: Mr.. Chairman and gen.
tlemen Of the committee: / rise for q
single purpose and that is to move the
adjournment Of this hearing to such
time as will give the people an oppor-
tunitv to understand exactly what the
situation is. This is the most important
lquestion financially and otherwise that
will come before the Legislature this
winter.
Your finance committee meets every
week. but when it shall have finished
its work for the session and made up
lis appropriation bills, the amount in
VOWED which the people Of this State
must meet. viii not be as large as the
amount involved in question which you
are now considering. That being SO. I
know that this committee will agree
with me in saying there must be no
haStc-no hurry.
Everything must be done so that
every citizen Of this state, as Mr.. Reed
OF Portland says. should have an op-
portunity to be heard-heard not mere
ly on the referendum, which he pro-
poses, but heard, if they so wish, be-
fore this committee before any such
action Is taken.
Commenting on the order he said:

The latter believe that the government,
having accomplished the separation of
church and state, can afford to ac-
cept any definite solution of the diff
culties in the interest Of peace.
Commenting on the situation, the
Eclair today says: The moment for
the reflection has arrived. The Vatican
offers "a solution compatible with its
dignity and duty. The Indispensable
ity of serious negotiations is demon
strated by the vain and Wiked quarreis

unity
The Echo De Paris remarks: "The

The Figaro says: The whole world

NJ. Jaures, the Socialist leader in his

was on the ether side Of the freight
house and was at first not sure wheth-
or the smoke came from fire or not, but
as he ran toward Chaplin street a
burst of flame confirmed his suspi-
cions and he Immediately pulled in an
alarm from Box Al on Chaplin street,
directly opposite the Sawyer Publish
ing Co. building.
The building appeared to be afirc all
over. and scarcely had the alarm been
lullci before the flames were bursting
from the entire western side of the
building, except at that point where
the office was located. Hose l started
from tho house before the arm struck
