MEMORANDUM FURNISHED.
President Is Receiving Testimony fl
 the Hartman Case.

the Hartman Case.
 Washington, July 9.--At President Roosevelts request. the Interstate Commerce Commission has forwarded to Oyster Bay a memorandum giving the substance of evidence collected by the commission in the Hartman in- quiry. It is understood that the Com- mission made no recommendations to the President, and that the complete report is not yet ready and may not be for some time.
 Attorney General Bonaparte stated tonight that If the Interstate Com- merce Commission had submitted any report to the President, he was not aware of 1t and no copies of 1t had been received by the Department of Justice; that he had not been notified of the completion of the report and had received no communication regarding the Hartman inquiry from either the President or the Interstate Commerce Commission. He expressed the opinion that when the Commissions final re- port is submitted to the President 1t will be accompanied by some recom- mendations as to what action shall be taken by the Department of Justice.
 Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce Commission. when asked if the report had been completed and for warded to Oyster Bay. declined to dis cuss the subject. Commissioner Lane, however, stated that the Commission has not completed Its final report
 It is said here tonight that the Presi- dents request for a memorandum of the evidence in the inquiry probably was at the suggestion of Special Coun- sel Kellogg, who insists that MT. liar riman. should be prosecuted for vio- lation of the Sherman antitrust law in his alleged manipulations of the finances of the Chicago and Alton Rail road. Several members of the Com mission, it is said. take the view that there is no way by which the Govern ment can prosecute MT. Hartman for these alleged violations of the law Mir Kellogg visited the President in Oyster Bay today, and it Is suggested here that his visit may have been for the purpose of urging the institution of proceedings against MT. Hartman.

Fire, as a servant, is necessary to
the life of man, but when it escapes
from its,-captiyity and obtains the up
per hand it more than avenges itself
upon its sometimes puny master. In
this respect Americans are especially
unfortunate Old World cities have
been building their houses of stone for
many centuries.
In the United States, however, it has
been the custom to put up whole blocks
cities and towns. Now buildings of
strne and steel are taking the places
of the cid fire-traps and in the larger
cities the danger from fire is being ma,
terially reduced. Still, when one
glances over the following figures which
we quote from the Fireproof Magazine,
it will be seen that the annual loss from
fires may we'll be regarded as appail-
ing:
New York averages s,Toe fires 4

apartment houses. three department

flats, and nearly 1000 homes burned vi

I'VE INDUCED in $4,000 fires last year,

Americans, and seem placidly to take
our chances on fire, believing, in all

what Cigar Terms Mean.

Of every hundred men who profess
anxiety for the quality of their cigars
owing to the Cuban rebellion, scarcely
one could, if put to it, interpret the
meaning of the various words which
are stamped on the lid and sides of a
cigar box. These are not mere fancy
names, but terms actually descriptive
of the cigar. On the lid is the name of
the cigar. as Pedro Murias, Villa y
Villa. The front of the box describes
the shape and size, as Conchas, Reina,
Regalias, which state the shape, and
Perfecto Infantes, Princesses, which
signify the size. These may be COM
bined as Conchas Speciales, Conchas
Finas. to state both shape and size.
At the back of the box, where the lid
turns over, is stamped the quality Of
the cigar-Superfina, Fina, Flor, Supe-
rior and Bueno, being the terms in the
descending scale. The color of the ci-
gar is declared on the right-hGnd side
or end of the box. Claro signifies the
lightest colored, Colorado Claro rather
darker, Colorado dark, Colorado Ma,
duro darker, Maduro very dark, Oscuro
extremely dark, Negro darkest.-Lon-
