Iieves the canal bonds cannot be disposed
OF unless canal contractors take them in
payment for their work
Superintendent Stevens personally be
lieves the Federal government should con-
struct a deep waterway canal between

In presenting arguments which lead to
the conclusion that the States interests
from every standpoint can best be served
by changing the type Of the barge canal
from the Hudson River to Lake Ontario
to a deep waterway the superintendent
SAYS:
Nothing so well illustrates the fact
that the lapse Of time in some cases q
very short time, changes the aspect of

Mr.. Stevens further says the canal will

Three big streams Of water were shoot

There was a brisk wind from the west.

BIG FIRE FOR WILMINGTON.
Damage 90 Dry Goods store Amounts
TO $4,000.
e Washington Herald

otFttAA I'D h-4f " d-llltEtll ttt-dlt
Wilmington, Del. Jan. 14xFire here
early this morning gutted the large dry
goods store Of +. B. Riley. 22S and 30
King street, causing a loss Of $4,000.
Properties adjoining, occupied by Jacob
Berg, dealer in millinery and fancy
goods and by Harry Saltzman. dealer in
Women's wear. were damaged by water
to the extent Of 5000. The loss IN each
instance is covered by insurance.
The fire was one of the most stubborn
that the Wilmington fremen have ever
had to fight. 1t originated in the cellar
OF the Riley store, where a large guam
tity Of boxes and paper was stored. and
is believed TO have been caused by a
heater.
The basement was first flooded in the
hope Of confining the blaze to that por-
ton Of the building. This was done with
out opening the doors. When il was be-
Heved that the fire was under control,
the flames ate their way to the ground
floor and threatened the entire building
with destruction.
The doors were then forced open and
the structure which Is three stories In
height, was flooded. 1t was several
hours, however, before the blaze was IN
der control. What stock escaped being
burned was almost totally destroyed by
water The Riley store was one Of the
largest of its kind in this city.
Mr.. Riley was out Of the city. having
gone TO Rehoboth, Del, the seashore re-
sort, to spend Sunday. The fremen were
soon covered with ice. the water from the
numerous lines Of hose freezing when it
struck the building.
George High. a member Of the Wash
ington Fire Company, fell through a glass
skylight on the rear roof of the Riley
store and was badly cut about the head.
He was temporarily lost in the dense
smoke and would have been overcome |
had not a fellow-freman succeeded in
resCuing him. His injuries are not seri- |

GOOD PAY FOR COUNSEL.
Fees in KniCkerbOcker Trust Re-
ceiyership May Amount to S3T5. 1000.

New YORK, Jan. 19.-According to the
agreement between the receivers for the
Knlckerbocker Trust Company and their
counsel, which has been submitted 10
Justice Clark. of the Supreme Court, for
his approval, the counsel fees shall in
no event exceed three-fourths Of 1 per
cent Of the moneys collected and dis
bursed by the receivers.
Attorney General Jackson believes that
the compensation ought not to be COM
puted on a percentage basis, but that
counsel should have a maximum yearly
limit and pro rata allowances according
to the nature of the work and the period
of employment. The maximum counsel
fees Of thTee-fouTths Of l per cent. ac-
cOrding TO the estimate OF the attorney
