II. c. Hitchcock Il Co.'S lumber mill
and box factory at Rose and Eigh-

by fire. Wednesday evening, together

ton to rebuild at once. The Central
Lumber Co.'S loss is covered by insur-

The FIRE started either in the shaw

the shavings around the machinery. 1t
Is believed. The flames were first
seen about O'Clock by Clarence Da-
ley. aged IL. son OF William Daley.
proprietor OF a hotel at Twentieth and
Rose-sts. The boy ran TO the hook
and ladder house next TO the hotel
and gave the alarm. Two more were
sounded in quick succession. which
brought engines and apparatus from
nearly every section OF the city. There
was need for them. as the fire several
times threatened 10 destroy the big
packing plants in the neighborhood,
and only persistent work on the part
OF the firemen prevented conffagra'
ton running into hundreds OF thou
sands.
Peter Thurman. the Waterman or
the plant. heard the cracking or the
flames while making his rounds. He
tried to reach the alarm box but
was driven back by the smoke. When
the first fire company arrived the
flames were raging fercely in the dry
kiln of the plant and spreading rap
idly.
AT the hight OF the fire. an engine
backed in on the sidetrack, coupled
on TO string OF cars loaded with
blazing lumber and pulled them out
TO an open space. where they would
not be a menace to surrounding prop
erty.
The fire was watched by thousands
who had been attracted by the red
glare in the sky, visible for miles.
A row OF cottages on Eighteenth-st.
was threatened with destruction, but
only one, that Of w. +. Watson, No.

flames were extinguished before seri-
Gus damage had been done. A car
penter shop owned and occupied by
John Roach in the rear OF the Watson
cottage was badly damaged.

DANGER OF ARMED CLASH OVER
SEIZURE OF STEAMER Is
GROWING HOURLY.
USE OF FORCE THREATENED
Mikado's Hostile Step Regarded as a
Mere Pretext for Bringing on
a ColIision-China Is Not
Prepared.

Pekin-With the Japanese south
ern squadron on its way to Can
ton, and the danger Of an armed clash
with the Mikado growing hourly more
imminent, China is walking between
national pride and the fear of a war
which might mean disintegration OF
the Empire.
While Japan has been assuring the
Occident that she has no thought OF
fighting over the seizure Of the steam.
er Tatsu Maru, she has made it clear
to Pekin, according to information
from high official circles, that force
will be used if the Chinese govern,
ment persists in defying or disregard
ing the Toxic foreign office demands.
The word war" has not appeared
in the correspondence, but China can
not figure that force" can anything
else unless, indeed, she is to submit
tamely to the recovery by a japanese
squadron of a vessel which the Chi
nese officials seized for bringing aid,
almost openly, to ~malcontents in arms
against the government.
China does not want war at pres
ent. Her military experts are build
ing up the army as rapidly as possible,
but they realize that they are still far
outclassed by the Japanese. Their
navy amounts practically to nothing.
So far as the Tatsu is concerned,
the government might yield were ii
not convinced that Japan is making an
issue Of the matter as a mere pretext.
If the Tatsu is surrendered, the En-,
peror's advisers are satisfied another
cuase for trouble will be found-prob'
ably over territorial rivalries-and
that hostilities will only be postponed
is questioned whether, under the cir
cumstances, anything is to be gained
by compliance in the present case.

Washington, d. C.-The ordnance
department of the army Is having
trouble with congress in attempt
ing to keep secret ingredients Of what
It asserts Is the first successful burst
ing charge for projectiles that has
been discovered anywhere in the
world.
After three years experiment and
exhaustive tests, the ordnance experts
have evolved explosive d." which, 1t
Is claimed, Is proof from explosion

and which remains unexploded until
the proiectile picrCes the armor or OBJ
ject at which It Is directed, 1t then
explodes within the p~roiectile and In
flicts damage on the object fired at,
Japan had her "shim0si' during the
Russo.Japanese war, but it proved a
failure In that the material was not
able to withstand the shock given to
the proIectilo when it left the gun, or
when it struck the object aimed at.
As far as is known, the United States
is ahead of the world as regards this
discovery, and, having conceived the
notwithstanding substance which
practically all nations have been en-
d~eavoring to find for years, the ord
nance officials are naturally anxious
to have It's ingredients remain a Sc

Congress, up to the present, has sue

secrecy idea by voting the ingredients
