Another Hot Blaze Early
Saturday in Lewiston.
Fourteen Children ire Of
Them III, Are Taken Out.
Building in Dangerous Location,
But Only One Structure Lost.

Lewiston, Feb. 13.-The fourth fire
in this citv the past week broke out a
little before O'Clock Saturday morn
ing in a building on Middle street oc-
cupied by a feather cleaning factory
and by three families.
Charles Robinson, one OF the tenants
of the building, was awakened by the
smoke and ran III his bare feet through
the snow to the central fire station on
Ash street, about block distant, to
give the alarm.
Mrs. Robinson meanwhile began to
get the children out of the house
There are seven in her family and the
youngest is sick with measles. Mr.
and Mrs James Hail, who live down
stairs in the house. also have seven
children and several of them are sick
with measles A severe snowstorm

BRITISH DIPLOMACY.
United States Having Illustration OF
How Annoying Delays May Be.

London. Feb. 13.-Amcrica is gain
ing considerable experience OF the de-
lays of British diplomacy, particularly
in matters in which colonies are in
tercsted and have to be consulted. The
replies to two proposals of the state
department, in those suggesting the
calling of conferences on the opium
question in the Far East and for the
regulation of scaling in the Pacific are
being held up by India and Canada
respectively
When the proposal for the sealing
conference reached the foreign office
through the American ambassador 1t
was immediately sent to the colonial
office and thence to Canada with a re-
quest that the Canadian government
give their views in regard to it, The
foreign office is still awaiting Canada s
reply, for until it comes Great Britain
cannot answer the state department.
A similar course has been adopted
with the suggestion for another opium
conference, the Indian Office and India
having been consulted in place of the
colonial Office and Canada. and the
same delay having resulted.
Another cause the general election
and consequent re-occupation Of the
members of the cabinet is responsible
for the delay in replying to Mr.. Knox's
proposal that the international prize
court, established by The Hague Con-
ference, have it's powers enlarged so as
to become permanent court Of arbi-
tration.

For Fairbanks in Catholic
Organ at Rome,
Liberal Views Of Former Vice
President Commended.
Did Not Know Facts or He Would
Not Have Promised Address.

| Rome, Feb. 1S.-The weekly Review
Rome, the organ of the English-speak-
| ing Catholics, today publishes a long
editorial on Charles w. Fairbanks
which is believed to have been inspired
by the Vatican. The editorial says:
| Mr.. Fairbanks Professionalism ;s
broad and logical, and allows him to
| put his stalWart shoulder to the wheel
| to help on every good cause Though
a strong party man in politics, his de-
votioE to party does not make him
| desire the disappearance of all parties
but his own, and he has the same
theory with regard to religion. He is
Methodist, but he has no wish that
Methodsm should be the only re-
lgion in America.
Mr.. Fairbanks is 4 type of millions
of good Americans. friendly to the
Catholic church and believing that it
makes little difference what a mans
religion is. providing lie does his best
to live up TO it."
After reviewing the incident between
the former Vice President and the Vati-
can, the Review emphasizes the toler-
ancc of the Vatican and points out that a
man may spend his whole life working in
the Vatican archives and galleries with
| out even being questioned as to whether
| he is a Turk or an atheist He may even
be diplomatic representative to the HOLY
Sec without being a Catholic
But even the all-embracinG libarality OF
| the Vatican continues the review can
not include the Methodist organization
! here, which entered Rome through the
breach made Sept. 20, 1870. with Garlbal-
dis red shirts.
| MANY anmosities have resulted in
those 40 years, but they have made no
| change in the spirit of the system of tie
MethodstS. Their organization as cstab-
| lished does not minister to the wants of
visiting MethodistS here but is directed
| toward pervertng the faith of the people,
Not only that, hut the Methodsts have
always been bitterly and avowedly anti
Papal eagerly welcoming every uppor-
tunity to discharge their venom against
Catholicism and the Holy See. Statistics
compiled by themselves show that the
cost of making a single Roman a Meth
odst averages f100o tsliO0> During the
last 40 years they have spent M2,OOO0oo in
this unholy work of proselytizing Catho-
| lies especially Catholic children.
'AIr. Fairbanks did not know these
facts or he would not lave given his
promise to speak in tho Methodist church
a hours before the time fixed for his
audience with the Pope. Otherwise he
would have understood how incompatible
was his public appearance in this hotbed
of anti-Catholic prosey tsm and anti
Papal bitterness with an audience with
the Holy Father"

QUILL FEELS SURE OF
TROUNCING LOUGHREY

Boston. Feb. 13.-The Tommy Quill
Young Loughrey bout, which will take
place at the Armory A. A. Tuesday night,
is creating no end of interest. The bout
meets with the approval of every boxing
follower
The Brockton favorite in a letter from
his training camp at Northboro says:
THE Loughrey admirers think that be-
cause I have rested up some little time
the Philadelphian will defeat me. They
have another guess. Loughrey has not
any more right to be favorite over me
than the golden sun has to shine in the
night time.
when I fought Jimmy Clabby and
Jimmy Gardner, I was on the short end
That only made me strive all the harder
to win. I am so fit now that ! am only
waiting for the bell to ring. If I don't
trounce Loughrey 1t will not be my
fault"

Federal Government Will Yield to the
Wishes of Printers.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE govern
ment will probably discontinue the
practice of printing stamped envelopes
with the cards of business firms in the
corner. For several years the printers
unions throughout the country have
been laboring to that end, saying that
it was an invasion of their field and
forced private firms to enter into COM
petition with the federal government.
1t is asserted that the House commit
tee on postoffices and post roads will
include in it's regular appropriation
bill for the department provision
saying that the practice shall cease.
The government at present has a con-
tract with a Dayton, Ohio, firm to do
this work, and at its expiration it is
probable that no further contracts will
be made.
