Paris. Sept. 2O.-Ffre broke out tonight in the
Central Telephone Building. and spread with
such rapidity that the telephone employees were
forced, after brief efforts to extinguish the

ing was soon in flames. and this. together with
the Postoffice which is located close to the
Place des victories. was totally destroyed The
loss is estimated at s5.oO0OOO. but a much
greater loss is likely to result through the COM
pIete interruption of all telephone communica-
ton In the centre of Paris. as well as COM
nunication with the provinces and abroad
The telephone building was comparatively
new and was fitted with the costly new central
battery system. 1t will take more than month
70 re-establish the service. and even tenn
porarv installation will require long time
The origin of the fire is a mystery but II Is
believed to have been due TO a short circuit II
is asserted also. that 1t may have oeen OF N
cendiary origin but nothing as yet mas oeeH
found to prove this. Telephone employees when
they first discovered the flames tried 10 extin-
guish them. but were forced TO desisf on ac-
count Of the volumes Of black smoke and the
pungent fumes from the burning guttapercha-

Address.

Utica, N. ", Aug. 19.-The last for
NAL ceremony attending the oficia
launching Of the Republican nationa
ticket Of 1908 was held here Tuesda!
when Representative James School
craft Sherman was rendered and &C
cepted the nomination Of his party fol
. the vice presidency,
n In accepting he subscribed heartily
he declared, to the declaration Of prin
cdples adopted at the Chicago conven
lion in June, to the every utterance
Of Secretary Taft In his Cincinnati
speech, and to the policies Of President
Roosevelt Mr.. Sherman asserted thai
the approval Of the Roosevelt admin
1stration was the real issue Of the cam
paign to be undertaken. Mr.. Bryan's
question "Ehall the people ruler" was
declared to be no issue at all. Sure
u the people shall rule" Mr.. Sherman
said; surely they have ruled; surely
they do rule. Shame on the candidate
who insults the American people by
suggestion or declaration that ma
5ority OF its electorate is venal"
Mr.. Sherman's speech was unusually
brief and he did not attempt to dis
cuss In detail any Of the questions
touched upon by Secretary Taft, say
ing he could not hope to persuade any
one not convinced by the presidential
candidates presentation Of the plat
forms and the issues. He did enter
into a brief discussion Of the tariff
and his declaration II am a protec-
Zionist" brought spontaneous response
from his hearers. The candidate then
went on to explain that he thought
the time had arrived for a revision
Of the tariff from the protectionist
point Of view"
At the conclusion Of the ceremonies
Mr.. Sherman was presented with q
magnificent gold-lined silver loving
cup, a gift from his colleagues in the
national house Of representatives. The
cup stands nearly IS inches high and
q mounted on a base Of ebony. The
Inscription reads: Presented to James
q. Sherman, M. G., by his associates,
Aug. IS, 1908"
The ceremonies Of notification oc-
cupied little less than two hours and
were held in the shade Of the half
century old elm trees which surround
the Sherman lawn on Upper Genesee
street.
Mr. Sherman, who was III for time,
appeared Tuesday to be In vigorous
health. He will undertake a long
campaign trip through the west in

CHAFIN IS NOTIFIED
AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE AT

Mr.. Chain pwelt at Length on Party
Strife Over False Issues
for the Sake Of

Chicago. Aug. 1s.--At Music hal
| Tuesday evening In the presence Of /
large and enthusiastic audience, Eu
gene W. Chain of Chicago accepted
the nomination for the presidency b.
the Prohibition party. The address
formally notifying Mr.. Chain Of hii
selection as the head OF the Prohibi
ton ticket was made by Prof. Charles
Scanlon Of Pittsburg on behalf Of the
committee on notification appointed al
the national convention in Columbus
o., July 16.
Charles R, Jones, chairman of the
national committee, called the meet
ing to order and announced the Sc
lection Of Samuel Dickie, president Of
Albion college, Albion, Mich, as chair.
man Of the gathering. Mr.. Dickie de-
livered brief address and then intro
duced Mr.. Scanlon. you are not
asked" said Mr.. Scanlon, turning to
Mr.. Chain, who occupied seat on
the platform, ito lead forlorn hope.
The final issue Of this struggle is not
now nor ever has been in doubt. The
principles advocated by the Prohibition
party are as certain to prevail as time
is to continue.
Prolonged applause greeted Mr..
Chain as he accepted the honor. Mr..
Chain in beginning dwelt on party
strife over false issues for the sake
Of obtaining office. Continuing he
said:
IF one or more political parties are
to be kept in power rs or so years,
each succeeding administration, carry
ing out the policy Of the past and re-
fusing to enact into law the progress
attained, then such party or parties
have violated the very spirit of the
constitution and turned our democ-
racy into despotism, making the po-
litical boss dictator,
eve are dangerously near that con-
dition of things in the pending pres
idential campaign The attempt made
by the Republican and Democratic
parties to create a fictitious issue is
the most farcical in our history. in
the face of the fact that during the
past four years the question of pro
hlbition Of the liquor traffic has at
tracted wider attention of the press
and the people than all other public
issues combined, The calm thought
and common sense Of the moral citi-
zenship have pronounced sentence of
death upon the liquor traffic and the
only thing that stays its execution is
the protective care Of these two old
political parties. kept alive by blind
political party prejudice"
This attack on the leading parties
reused the audience to vigorous ap-
plause, repeated at intervals as Mr..
Chain continued along this line. He
quoted from a speech of Abraham
Lincoln to show the view Of the latter
on the liquor question and concluded
his speech with an, outline Of the 10.
sues for which the party stands. i
