DESTROYED
BY GREAT FIRE IN PARIS

Paris, September 21.-Fire broke out
last night in the Central Telephone build
ing and spread with such rapidty that
the telephone employees were forced after
brlef and Intellectual efforts to extinguish
the flcmes. to fly hastily to the streets.
The entire building was soon in flames,
aad this, together with the postoffice,
which is located close to the Place des
Victories, was totally destroyed. The
loss is estimated at 600, but much
greater loss is likely to be involved
through the complete interruption of tele-
picnic communication 1t will take more
than month to re-establsh the service,
and even a temporary installation will
require a considerable length of time.
The origin of the fire is believed to have
been due to a short circuit. 1t is as
serted also that it may have peen of in
cendiary origin, but nothing as yet has
been found to prove this.
Telephone employees, when they first dis
covered the f1ames tried to extinguish
them, but were forced to desist on ae-
count of the volumes of black smoke and
the pungent fumes from the burning
gutta percha. In a short time the flames
eowrapped the entire five stories and
2 efs bursting through the roof. leaping
skyward like a blast furnace.
At a. M the fire was still burning, but
the firemen were beginning to get it un-
der control.

Albany, N. Y, September 2O-Impor-
tant conferences bearing on the political
situation, both national and state, were
held today by William j. Bryan with
Judge Alton B. Parker at Esopus, and
with former United States Senator David
B. Hill at Wolfert's Roost, near this
city. These were preceded by long con-
sultation in the early morning between
Mr. Bryan ard National Chairman Mack
in New York city.
When the train arrived at Poughkeep-
sic Judge Parker was at the station to
meet his distinguished guest, whom he
entertained during the afternoon. The
only member of the candidates party to
accompany him was former Governor Jen-
nings of Florida, MEMBER of the ma
tional committee, the rest of the party
proceeding on to Albany.
Mr.. Hill, who was at the station when
Mr. Bryan arrived here tonight from
Esopus, greeted his guest most cordially,
while a crowd cheered loudly. The drive
to Mr.. Hills home was made by Mr..
Bryan and his host only. At Wolferts
Roost awaiting them was Judge d. Cady
Herrick of this city, and the three men

while at dinner discussed the business
which brought them together.
Not word by the participants in the
several conferences was disclosed regard
ing the subjects talked of or the con-
clusions reached but it nevertheless was
ascertained from one in a position to
know that all three conferences had to
do with the campaign in New YORK
state.
The fact that Immediately upon his ar
rival here Mr.. Bryan notified the members
of his party that he would leave for Buff
falo at 315 o'clock In the morning instead
of 7:30, as planned would indicate that
important developments had taken place.
He is due in Buffalo at As a. m.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Wolferts Roost
gave rise to a good deal of gossip as to
the extent to which Senator Hill would
participate in the campaign. Judge Par
ker already had announced that he would
take the stump in behalf of his party, but
no suggestion has come from Senator Hill
that he also would enter upon a speech
making tour. although he is taking keen
interest in the campaign
All -'-gt Mr. Bryan would say concern
ing the days happenings was that he
took a long automobile ride with Judge
Parker, going as far as Kingston, and
that he had dined with Senator Hill to-
night.

WARSHIP FLEET ON
WAY TO MANILA

Perth, Western Australia, September
2O.-The American fleet of battleships
passed this coast this morning on the
long run to Manila. The fleet was
proceeding in two columns, the Con
necticut and Louisiana leading. The
warships turned to the west about l
o'clock and a large number of pleas
ure craft crowded with sight-seers fol-
lowed them for some 20 miles to sea.
Last night the trains reaching this
city brought vast numbers of Austria
lians bent on catching a last glimpse
of the American fleet.
The white ships of the United States
came up slowly about six miles off the
island and were greeted with a noisy
demonstration by the small steamers
and those on board. The Australian
steamship Kanowna signalled to the
fleet the particulars of the wreck of
the steamship Aeon, whose passengers
are now on Christmas Island. Rear Ad-
miral Sperry signaled his thanks for
the news and added:
Cannot stop. Goodbye

All Campaign Engagements For
Speaking Are Abruptly
Cancelled
TAFT LET The SENATOR
TAKE THE INITIATIVE
Nominee of Republican Party Said He
Would Not Hit a Man When He
Was Down, But Let Him
Hit Himself.

Cincinnati, o., September 20.-United
States Senator Joseph B. Foraker has
cancelled all of his speaking engage
ments in the campaign. it was learned
today. In a written request to National
Chairman Frank II. Hitch cock he asked
to be relieved from the appointments
which had been arranged for him by
the national speakers buerau, and in
a communication to State Chairman
Williams of the Ohio republican COM
mittee, he made the same request as
to the engagements which had been
arranged for him in Ohio.
AS to Senator Foraker's senatorial
candidacy, the Associated Press is au-
thorized to state the senator's position
as follows:
Senator Foraker will leave the selec-
tion of his successor to the legislature,
but will do all In his power to see that
a republican legislature is elected"
In addition to this information, SEN
ator Foraker today told his friends that
he should at the proper and convenient
opportunity make a speech in answer
to the Hearst charges and in defense
of himself, and then would campaign
the entire state in behalf of his sena-
torial candidacy. but under the juris-
diction of no political committee.
The details of Just how Senator
Foraker came to with draw from parti-
cipation in the forthcoming convention
of the National League of Republican
clubs at which he was to speak with
William II. Taft here on Tuesday
evening, We're disclosed today authori-
! tatively.
On the morning of the first publica
1 tion of the Hearst charges (Friday)
/ Senator Dick came to the city from
4 Columbus. After a conference with
Senator Foraker he went TO the TAFT
! residence, where he and the candidate
discussed the situation frankly
No conclusions We're reached, but
Senator Dick obtained the distinct I'M
pr on that in view of the circum-
stances the question of the joint ap-
pearance of Taft and Foraker was one
which required consideration. In this
connection the arrival of Senator
Crane on Saturday was noted. and the
junior Ohio senator indicated he would
take up the question with his Massa-
chusetts colleague. After Senator's
Crane, Foraker and Dick had conferred
Saturday morning, the letter which
Senator Foraker made public last
night eliminating himself from the
meeting of republican clubs was taken
to the Taft residence by Senator Crane.
Throughout the negotiations Mr.. Taft
refused absolutely to comment for pub
lfcation on the affair. 1t has since de-
veloped that he had at once taken the
position that the joint engagement
must be cancelled. 1t has also devel-
oped that the candidate received in
sistent advice to take the initiative in
the cancelling OF the arrangements, and
that his reply, 1t is said, was emphatic
in this language:
IF it would win me every vote in the
United States. cannot hit man when
he is down"

Haskell Says That If Hearst Will
Prove Case as Stated He Will

nection With Demo-
cratic Campaign.

1899, when Attorney General Frank s.

that 1 never had any relations of any
kind or character with the Standard Oil
company. Our conflicting statements

ton for truthfulness; 1, as public Off

ROOSEVELT SENDS OUT
ANOTHER TAFT LETTER

Oyster Bay, N. Y, September 20.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt, in a letter to William
B. Mckinley, chairman of the republican
congressional committee, made public to-
day, appeals to disinterested itcizens to
join with the national republican COM
mittee and the congressional committee
in a movement to elect William H. Taft
as President and a republican Congress
to support him. After reviewing some
of the important legislation of the past
seven years, the President declares that
Mr. Taft and the republican candidates
seek reelection on a platform which spe-
cifeally pledges the party to continue
and develop the policies which have been
acted upon for seven years past.
All the aid that can be given to per-.
petuate the policy of the government as
now carried on, the President says, should
be given every good citizen, as it is far
more than a partisan matter.
The letter follows:

Sunday was a record day In the history
of the fire department, the men being
out all morning and afternoon for a big
fire in a department store in the Fauberg
st. Denis. Damage to the extent of
100000 was done here.
The firemen were greatly impeded in
their work by the huge crowds which
the few police In the locality were pow
erless to hold back. Messengers were
dispatched for reserves and troops, who
eventually were forced to charge upon
spectators before they cleared the scene
of operations. 1t was not until o'clock
Monday morning that the fire was gotten
under control.
When the officials were able to make
an investigation as to the extent of the
damage it was found that 10000 telephone
lines in Paris, comprising all the lines
in use by the various ministries, the
newspapers, banks and commercial houses
and all the provincial and international
trunk sections of the plant had been COM
pletely destroyed. After the fire had been
practically extinguished the salvagers
worked up to dayhreak in an endeavor
to prop up the building which showed
signs of collapsing owing to the warping
of the iron frame.
The fire chiefs report that there was
no loss of life and that no one was In
jured. The day shift of women had left
the building before the fire. Only the
regular Sunday night staff or men, num-
bering 200, instead of 600, as on ordi-
nary nights, was on duty

PROHIBITION LAW
NOW UNDER FIRE

Atlanta, September 20.-The Georgia
prohibition law so far as taxing near
beer is concerned is under fire. The ex-
ira session of the Legislature which ad-
journed yesterday authorized a tax of $500
on manufacturers of this product. Two
hundred dollars was the amount imposed
on dispensers of near beer.
Shortly after midnight last night Judge
Ellis of the superior court enjoined the
comptroller of the state, the sheriff of
Fulton county, which includes Atlanta,
and his deputies from collecting this tax.
The injunction was granted on the petit
ton of 115 dealers in the prohibition
products"
The near beer dealers claim that the
legislation is unconstitutional nasmuch
as 1t did not relate to convict legislation
for which the special session of the Geor-
gia general assembly was called.
The question will be carried to the
highest courts of the state
