Flames Swept Business Section, En-.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Fire which
broke out in the center of the com.
mercial districts here swept over por.
lions OF three blocks, destroying a
large number of wholesale houses,
manufacturing plants and small stores
Originating at Bienville and Chartres
streets, the flames worked their way
northeast as far as Cont street and
west toward Social, bringing about a
property loss Of between $1,000, 0,O0O
and $2,0O0,0O0 before they were finally
subdued.
At the time the alarm was turned in
the New Orleans firemen were in the
midst of their annual picnic at q
suburban park and the engines and
patrols responded with a mere handful
of men. When the picnickers finally
reached the scene it was even ther
impossible to make a successful fight
against the flames owing to an in
adequate supply of water.
Two warehouses, filed with wines
and liquors, were among the buildings
destroyed by the fire. AS they burned
the barrels of whiskey and brandy ex
ploded with roars which could be
heard for blocks and which shook the
walls OF adjoining buildings and en-
dangered the lives of firemen engaged
in fighting the flames.

Toxic, Feb. 29.-The Japanese gov
eminent is maintaining a determined
attitude concerning the seizure of
the Tahu Marund, and demands both
an apology and an indemnity from
the Chinese government. The latter
wants to submit the, entire question
to a mixed court. This is refused by
Japan unless the vessel is first re-
leased and an apology made for the
insult to her flag.
1t appears the Tahu regularly
cleared from Kobe with a coIsign-
ment of arms and ammunition for
Macao. The Portuguese minister at
Fekin supports the contention of the
Japanese minister of foreign affairs
that the vessel was seized within Por
tuguese waters. It is evident Japan
will resort to force unless it's demands
are conceded within reasonable
length of time.
