Brussels.-Fire started in the Bel
gian section of the International ex-
hibition in Brussels. The flames
spread quickly to the English and
French sections, which were soon de-
stroyed.
Two were killed in a panic, and a
number of persons have been in
jured.
The fire was finally gotten under
control. The Belgian and English
sections are in ruins, while all other
sections, including the American,
were partly destroyed.
Bands of thieves were engaged in
%pillaging, and a soldier vas stabbed
while attempting to arrest three men
whom he found -rifins a iewelry ex-
hibit.
The aggregate loss is estimated at
$40, 600, 900. The diamond exhibitors
are sufferers.
The White City, as the Belgians
called their 1910 exposition, is a mass
of flames and %smoldering ruins. A
spark falling into inflammable mate
rial in the telegraph building burst
up in flames, which, driven by a high
wind, swept rapidly in all directions.
Soon the Belgian, English and French
sections were destroyed. The fire.
men and detachments of soldiers

Chicago, 1l.-The advisory commit.
teo of the Illinois Coal Operators as
sociation concluded to test the laws
which prohibit the importation Of min
ers in the strike-ridden Illinois dis
trict. 1t also voted to sever all ne
gotiations with State President Wal
ker of the United Miners of America.
The committee issued an ultimatum
that the strikers would have to accept
the compromise agreement which was
sanctioned by International President
Lewis or see their places filled with
nonunion men. The general meeting
of operators arranged was called off,
after an exchange of kilograms be-
tween President A. j. Moorshead, IN
st. Louis, and Harry n. Taylor, chair
mar of the advisory committee, but
Mr.. Moorshead is now here and affairs
are so arranged that the operators
can be called together in less than "a
hours.
AS part of the plan to import non
union miners, it was decided that the
operators as al association would
have to purchase one of the mines
owned by individual members, so that
responsibility for the crime Of felony
will be evenly distributed.

be equipped for the carrying of chilled
beef. which is finding great favor in
Europe, and will also have inviting

to the meat business. The worlds sup

Tramps and Migrants generally who
are opposed to work of any kind will
do well to keep away from the vicinity
of Kansas for some time to come. The
judge of the municipal court in Kansas
sCity oun that he will sentence
all Migrants brought before him to la.
Dor in the fields. If they refuse to go
he will send them to the workhouse
for six months, and that will be worse
than grain harvesting. Men of this
class perhaps do not make the best or
most efficient help on the farm, but at
this season there is IN urgent demand
for workers of any kind, and even a
tramp can be made useful in gathering
the crops.

ONE WAY TO FISH.

There are men who take their an.
Cling seriously; men Of the rod and
reel who make their own flies and be-
stow an infinite care on the selection
of spinners and all n of lures;
men who heartily agree with the great
1zaak Walton that Just "as no man Is
born an artist, so no man is born an
angler. When such a man goes grave
ly forth to fish, the day should be over
cast, to match his pious mood. He has
business of import ahead of him. and
the only conversation that is tolerable
must be in with the spirit
of the occasion and must relate direct
ly to the matter in hand, says Philadel-
phia Press. That is n way to fish;
the scientific, sacramento way. There
is another type Of angler OF whom
this other highly disapproves. He is
vulgar enough to select a day of rank
sunshine. He says, when reasoned
with, that he finds 1t better so. He Is
also peculiar in his selection Of a fish
ing ground, asserting that 1t doesn't
matter much so long as it embraces a
shady nook in some quiet retreat. He
may throw out a line-he very proba-
bly, does-but not until he has first at
tended to his lunch basket, which he
stoutly maintains is a far more impor-
tant item OF a fishing outfit than the
creel. And yet the man who fishes in
this eccentric way is broadly just
towards the other man-his fellow
angler.
