By Fire in Monticello,
n. y, on Main Street.
Thirty-six Buildings, Hotels,
Stores and Residences.
Guests and Citizens All Escape But
Lose Most Of Belongings.

Middletown, N. Y. Aug. 11-A loss
estimated at 100000 was caused by
the fire which swept SO buildings from

town of Monticello, N. Y, last night.
The buildings burned included hotels.
stores and residences The fire was UNI
der control this morning after dynamite
was used.
Three hotels. filled with summer
guests. mainly from New York City,
were destroyed. These were the Rock
we'll House, the largest hotel In Sulli-
van county, the Palatine hotel and the
Bolsum House. All the guests escaped
with most of their personal effects. The
Monticello House was not burned. The
Union National Bank, both newspaper
offices and every store but one In the
town were destroyed. srrv.,
When it was seen that the business
section of the village was doomed the
fircmen began to use dynamite. By this
means all the residences but two were
saved.
Monticello, ordinarily is a village Of
less than 1000 residents, but in sum-
ner the population swells to nearly
900. The hotels and boarding houses
were filled last night when the fire be-
| gan in the electric light station in the
| ear of the Palatine hotel on Main
| street. A high wind famed the flames

| The blaze bursting from the roof OF
he lighting station, attacked the Pal
| atine Music hall, a separate building
in the rear of the Palatine hotel, and
thence spread to the hotel itself. The
alarm was spread through the hotel
promptly and it's so or more guests
hastily assembled their belongings and
fed to the other inns.
Assistance was summoned from Port
Jervis and Liberty, and the summer
boarders, not only in Monticello but
from nearby villages, formed volunteer
fire companies. One of the Monticello
companies was put out of service early
by being caught between burning
buildings. The company escaped with
its apparatus, but it's hose was render
ed useless.
From the Palatine hotel the fire
spread up and down both sides Of
Main street, sweeping the business
buildings. hotels and stores for dis
lance of about six city blocks. The
Rockwell House was licked UP by the
flames in short order. but the $50
guests. in ample time. gathered their
most valuable possessions and moved
on. The Bolsum House. containing 50
lguests, was quickly burned.
The other buildings destroyed includ.
ed the Masonic Temple, the offices OF
the Monticello Republican and Watch
man. newspapers, Durland & Arm.

. DURING VACATION Time,
President Taft Refuses to Discuss Them Receives

nuevres- Changes in Itinerary Of Long Trip.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 11.-President
Taft talked with the American ambas-
sador to japan. Thomas j. O'Brien. for
more than jim hour this afternoon on
\ the porch q his summer cottage. Mr..
OBrien isIo be retained by the Presi-
dent as ambassador and is credited
with being as close to the throne as any
amba ssadOr at the Japanese Emperor
court.
Mr.. O'Brien brought many messages
of congratulation and good will to Mr..
Taft from the Presidents friends in
Japan. After his interview with the
ambassador. President Taft declared
that matters in the Far East were
very satisfactory. The probability of
a break between China and Japan over
the Antung- Mukden Railroad improve
ments was not taken up, as the situa-
ton, which now seems to be adjusting
itself. had not become acute when Mr.
O'Brien left the Japanese capital, Mr..
O'Brien will sail for Europe Saturday
but will return to this country on his
way back to his post.
President Taft made the important
declaration today that it will be his
policy to make as few recess appoint
ments as possible. In cases of vacan-
cies on the federal bench. especially.
the President has stated that he will
make appointments only in districts
or circuits where the need of judge
is shown to be imperative. The Presl-
dent does not believe it to be a good
policy tn appoint man to a life posi-
ton and to commission him in the
absence of confirmation by the Senate.
There have been several cases in recent
years where federal judges have failed
of confirmation after serving from one

to three years and the situation thus
chreated has bene exceedingly embar-
RAISING.
The President had quite an extended
talk with Judge Ira f.. Abbott of New
Mexico after luncheon today. Judge
Abbott has bene spending the summer
at Havcrhll, his old home, and was
called to see the President to give him
some information at to political affairs
in the territory. The question of state
hood for New Mexico did not enter
into the interview, for the President
takes it for granted that Congress will
carry out the party's platform declara-
ton tor separate statehood for both
New Mexico and Arizona. The Presi-
dent is 10 make several stops in both
Of these territories during his Western
trip.
President Taft will not attend the
army maneuvres around Boston the
week of Aug. 14-21. He thinks his visit
would be too "oficial' for the vacation
period. and although he is deeply inter
ested in the war games to be played
about the New England metropolis by
regiments of the regular army and the
militia of several states, including the
District of Columbia, he will not see
any part of the attempt to "capture''
Boston. The President laughingly de-
clared today that the invading force
could capture Boston, Beverly or Ip-
switch. just so long as they did not in
wade the golf links at Myopia and Es-
sex.

Hays Hammond. on the Essex golf
