The fire was discovered in the
building occupied by the Schlessin-

one of the largest in the city, and
Quilted it.
During the early morning hours
everyone in the Terminal hotel, and
in numerous other smaller hotels in
the district had warning. There
was no loss of life and no injuries.
One of the heaviest losers is s. M

entire block bounded by Forsythe

Admiral Evans Flag Comes
Down Today When He
Ends Sea Life
Fleet Reviewed by Secretary
MetCdIf Amid Usual
Furry and Noise

San Francisco, CAL, May 8.-The
combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets
of battleships, armored cruisers,
torpedo boat destroyers and auxli-
iaries, aggregating in weight of dis
placement an enormous total of more
than four hundred thousand tons,
the greatest assemblage of armor-
clads thus far to mark the progress
of the American navy to second rank
among the fighting forces of the
world, were reviewed in picturesque
San Francisco harbor today by Sec
rotary of the Navy Metcalf.
The forty-fou vessels of the two
fleets lay at anchor in four long col
umns and proceeding from Okland
shore, the secretary, on board the
little gunboat Yorktown, proceeded
southwark through the lines form
ed by the armored cruisers of the
Pacific fleet, nearest the Oakland
shore and the second squadron of the
Atlantic fleet headed by the Min
nesota. Turning back to the north
end of these two lines, the York
town traversed the line formed on
the starboard by the battleships of
the first squadron of the Atlantic
fleet and on the port by the grim
little destroyers.
Rear Admiral Bob Evans, who had
hoped to end his active naval career
by participating in the official cere-
monies, was not permitted by his
physicians to go aboard the Con-
| neciticut, and Rear Admiral Charles
M. Thomas was again the senior Of
icer.
Tomorrow afternoon is the time
set for Admiral Evans finally TO re-
linquish command Although he
will not be aboard the ship, his flag
will officially be lowered from the
truck of the Connecticut as the
sharp speaking rifles on the after
bridge boom out their parting.
A salute of thirteen guns will mark
the assumption of command by the
new chief, Admiral Thomas. Ad
miral Evans leavetaking of the feet
will date from the journey through
the Golden Gate when he stood up
on the bridge of the flagship for the
last time.
Accompanied by members of his
family and by the officers of his per-
sonal staff, Admiral Evans will leave
| tomorrow morning for his home in
| Washington, where he will remain
awaiting orders until the date Of his
| retirement on his sixty-second birth
! day, August IS. Admiral Thomas
will be in command of the Atlantic
| fleet only until May Is, when he,
too, hauls down his flag for all time
| to return home on waiting orders
| until his retirement in the fall.
Rear Admiral Charles M. Sperry
will resume command with the de-
| parture of Admiral Thomas.
Today's review was marked with
the customary formalities of BOOM
ing cannons, of ship-sides manned
with blue jackets, quarter-decks
black with officers and marine
guards, bands playing, flags flying
| and official calls upon the review
ing official after the Yorktown had
made its tour of the anchored
! lines.

INDICATES
BIG CROP
First Report Of Grain in the
Northwest Shows De-
creased Acreage
Progress Of Seeding This
Year Is Far Ahead
Of Others

Minneapolis, Mimi, May S.-The
first comprehensive report of grain
In the northwest was given out today
by the daily market record.
From full reports from its CORES
pondents throughout Minnesota and
the Dakotas 1t seems that present
prospects are for somewhat increas-
ed acreage Of spring wheat, corn,
oats and barley with some falling
on in the acreage of durum wheat,
rye, and flax, the decreased acreage
OF durum is considerable and it is
not made up by increased acreage of
spring wheat, giving the northwest
as whole a wheat acreage this year
slightly under that Of a year ago.
North Dakota shows an increase
OF As per cent over last year in the
total wheat acreage but this is lit
tie more than the Offset by the de-
creased acreage in Minnesota.
South Dakota shows one per cent in
crease.
Spring seeding is well advanced
and prospects were seldom, if ever,
more encouraging at this season of
the year than at present. In Min
nesota and South Dakota wheat and
rye are practically all seeded and in
many places are up and doing well.
Seeding OF oats, barley and fax is not
quite as far advanced but few days
more will see work practically COM
pleted. North Dakota is not as far
along as either Minnesota or South
Dakota but is far ahead of late
years in the seeding of all grains.
Asssaut seventy-fve per cent of wheat
is already in and the work is steadily
progressing under fairly favorable
circumstances.

Cleveland, O., May S.-The Euclid
