HOTEL GUESTS
ESCAPE FIRE
Blaze in Chester Palm Garden
and Restaurant Causes
a Small Panic

CHESTER. Pa, June 29-Fire Of ur-
known origin destroyed the first and
second floors of George ]. Reynolds s
palm garden and restaurant, at Sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween 2 and 8 o'clock this morning.
only the prompt arrival of the fire
companies that prevented the flames,
which had gained great headway, from
completely destroying the building and
communicating with the Pennsylvania
Hotel adjoining. The fire, entaling a
loss of $4,000, covered by insurance,
was discovered by a special officer. The
flames apparently started on the hrst
floor near the Office counter.
The room on the first floor was IL
Illuminated but before the firemen ar
rived. the fire had communicated with
the rear, while great tongues of flame
leaped up through the building and had
reached the third floor before the water
was turned on.
The Hanley Hose Company arrived
quickly, and as it turned a plug stream
on the burning building the flames were
reaching out over Market street. JUS
before the water was turned on the big
bulk glass window fell into the street
with a great crash.
The Hanley's engine, recently bor-
rowed from Philadelphias fire depart
ment, proved a capable apparatus. Fol.
lowing rapidly in the wake of the Han
ley Company were the Franklin, Moya
mensing and Goodwill Companies.
Several colored families resided on
the top floor of the cafe building. and
their only means of egress was through
a narrow hallway. They were aroused
by Griffith, a special policeman, and by
Thomas Hargreaves, a former Council
man.
Guests in the Pennsylvania Hotel
were also aroused, and those in the rear
of the building made use Of the fire.
escapes, as the hotel was rapidly filling
with smoke. Many carried garments
and other belongings in their arms.
The hotel was not damaged, except by
smoke
This is the second fire to occur n
the Pennsylvania Cafe in recent months
and there is little difference between
the two in extent Of damage. The build
ing is owned by General Henry CLAW
Cochrane. president of the Board OF

adding:
France, as the friend of both
nations is, like them, deeply inter-
ested in the maintenance of the sta
tus quo in the Far East, and is gra-
titled by this new pledge Of peace"
This idea that the agreement in
sures the solution Of the Pacific
problem and the maintenance Of
peace between the nations on its
eastern and western shores Is EN-
phatically dwelt upon by the Journal
des Debats (Parls) which praises ia
pans unselfish conduct in the mat
ter. Thus we read:
Japan has now gwen to Europe
full proof of her disinterestedness
Asia aud America will feel them
selves compelled to come to some
commercial agreement with Japan,
especially as the opening Of the Pam
anna canal is destined to change, to
the advantage of the latter, the var
ious routes of trade"
The fate Of China is also secured
by the agreement or treaty between
Washington and Tokyo, says the Lon
don Times, and it delicately express
es a hope that henceforth justice will
be done to those portions Of the Chi
nese empire which have been in the
occupation Of Japan, by the establish
ment there of a system Of real COM
mercial equality among the nations.
This is particularly desirable, thinks
the Action (Paris), because China,
at this present moment, is the OBJ
ject of the commercial aspirations Of
them all, especially Of Germany, hints
the Llberte PARIS. Germany will
be nightly irritated, thinks this
journal, by the last clause OF the
agreement, which provides for a mu-
tual consultation, before taking in
divldual action in case Of any emer-
gency which threatens the status
quo.

The worlds fears have been set at
rest on several important points by
the new agreement between America
and Japan, to judge from the com
ment of the foreign press. The fate
Of the Pacific as road of commerce
and the fate of China as an indepen-
dent empire maintaining its open
ports and its integrity have been
hanging in the balance ever since
the conclusion of the Russo-Japan-
csc war.
A new difficulty was created by
the conflict between japanese immi-
grants and California citizens on the
west coast of the American continent
and it was actually supposed by
some that in case of conflict Russia
would support Japan against the
United States. These apprehensions
are now happily disposed Of. In
treating of this matter in long
article the Preussische Zeitung Der
linz speaks as follows with regard
to the Pacific problem
In America the view was at one
time entertained that decisive
struggle was imminent between the
United States and Japan to decide
the problem of hegemony in the Pa
cific. 1t was in the first instance
supposed that Japan might have de-
pended upon the support of Russia.
From today there can be no more
mention of such an idea"
The weekly herald. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 1906-19??, 1908-12-31

The Figaro (Paris) dwells upon
the matter from a completely com
mercial standpoint, and concludes
that in matters of trade Japan, in
spite of her proximity, has no more
rights in China than AJaaAriNa has:
The weekly herald. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 1906-19??, 1908-12-31

The London Daily Post also be-
lieves that the new agreement post
pones indefinitely the once much
talked-of struggle for the mastery Of
the Pacific" Reckoning it as one
of the great compacts such as those
between Japan and Great Britain or
France and Russia, The Daily News
(London) says that apart from
technicalities it might just as we'll be
called an alliance" 1t is a fresh
guaranty Of peace in the Far East"
especially between the United States
and Japan. These two countries
will henceforth "repudiate the idea
OF rivalry In those regions" declares
the Paris Temps; and the Journal
(Paris) thinks that the signing of
the compact at Washington pours a
flood Of glory upon the closing days
