NEW YORK September 20.-Republican
politicians, attaching Importance to yes
rerday's conference between President
aEaft and Col Roosevelt. were trying to-
day to figure out its significance and de-
sermine who came off with the most
oenent. The majority Judgment expressed
was that President Taft showed to dis
sinct advantage In the meeting. which
was none of his seeking, and that Roose-
velt's appeal for assistance revealed his
realization of the political peril which
menaces him in the fight with the old
guard.
The Presidents friends here are de-
lighted with the dignified position as
sumed by the President in regard to the
suggested Endorsement by the state con-
vention Of his denomination in 1912. They
think that by waving that proposition
President Taft has strengthened himself
with thoughtful people and at any rate
has put his political fortunes for 1912
upon higher plane than that of self
seeking scramble

OF the many committee meetings held
this morning the most important was q
session Of that on rules and regulations.
The principal business was the considera-
ton Of the resolution which aims to ad-
NIT men Of the civil war revenue cutter
service into the ranks Of the Grand
Army. 1t was said that the resolution
would be presented to the national en-
campment Thursday. with q favorable
recommendation and will most likely be
adopted by the veterans as q whole.
For many years the revenue cutter men
who did good work during the war have
been seeking recognition and are de-
lighted that at last their efforts seem
likely to be crowned with success.

Paris, France.-Amidst an impress
sive hush, which contrasted strangely
with Saturdays unprecedented pas
sion and tumult in the chamber of
deputies Premier BRAND Sunday in
cool. incisive phrase and accomplished
oratory, flayed the Socialists for their
violence in %forbidding him the right
of speech.
The premier assured the chamber
that he was no dictator, but a man Of
law and order, and at the end of the
session his frank appeal for Republi
can support resulted in a vote of con.
fdence, 329 to 1873.
Since the days of the Boulanger and
Dreyfus affairs no such interest has
been displayed in a session of the
French parliament. Vast crowds be-
sieged the doors at an early hour and
unable to secure entry, assembled in
the square and waited for hours in the
rain to learn the outcome.
Carried away by his passion of Sat
urday the premier, defending the at
titude of the government in suppress
ing the railway strike. exclaimed:
Any Means to Preserve FatherIand.
Had the actual laws of the country
not been sufficient | would not have
hesitated to resort even to illegal
measures for the purpose of preserv-
ing the fa%therland.'
Following M. Reynaud who justified
the premier's words by the axiom that
a great national crisis would Justify
the neglect of legal scruples, M. BRAND
mounted the tribune, silence falling
over the house. He declared that his
remarks of Saturday had been entire
ly misunderstood, because the social
istic fury and disorder had not per-
mitted him to complete his statements.
What he had tried to say was that in
grave hours of national peril excep-
tional measures were justified. New.
ertheless, the government was proud
that 1T had kept within the limits of
legality. 1t had been many years since
the government endured such trouble
Gus hours. but the nation had emerged
from the threatened revolt, cleaner.
grander, better.
Then with a dramatic gesture he
flung out his hands, crying:
Look at these hands-not a drop
of blood"
An outburst of cheers greeted the
premier as he called upon all good
Frenchmen to rally to the flag of
peace. and support the governments
effort to maintain law and order.

None of the customs officials, how
ever, was kissed. They held up the
actress for a half hour or more and
forced her to make a new declaration,
In which she said she had nothing
more than $12, 900 worth of personal
jewelry. When it was explained to
her that the treasury department was

shrugged her shoulders.
The Joan of Arc league, made up of

and strewed yellow chrysanthemums
in her path. Some time ago the

FULLY surprised when Bernhard told
the women she was not a s%uffragette;
that she believed in the principles Of

to rub it in, the great actress
declared that she got along all right
with the wit and wisdom that God
gave her."

FIRE IN VICTORIA
FLAMES SPREAD PATH OF ASHES
THROUGH BUSINESS SECTION
OF CITY.
Loss WILL BE EXTENSIVE
Blazing Craft in Hsrbor Present Strik.
Ing Picture Out of Darkness.-ln-
adequate Fire Fighting
Brigade.

Victoria, British Col. - Fire which
started in early and burned until long
after midnight swept through the heart
of the city's business section, wiping
out several of the finest buildings and
causing a loss roughly estimated at
from $780, 900 to 100000. Huge
frebrands hoated the water front,
which swept toward the water front,
and it was with great difficulty hat the
firemen, aided by the militia and the
garrison at Work Point barracks, kept
the flames from sweeping a broad path
to the waters edge.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the water, endangering the
shipping in the harbor. Several un-
protected pleasure yachts caught fire
and burned like floating beacons in the
bay.
The fire started in the department
store of David Spencer & Co., Limited,
n Of the largest retail establish
ments In Victoria. Famed by a high
wind, the flames spread with alarming
rapidity.
The recently organized fire brigade
found itself unable to cope with the
confiagration and the troops were
called out.
Soldiers not only aided in keeping
order among the frightened, half clad
crowds, but managed the fire appar-
atus and helped the fire brigade com
bat the flames. z
Among the Buildings burned were
the Times office and Five Sisters build
ing, a five-story Office block. The five
story Pemberton building and the Dri-
ard hotel were threatened. but both
were saved. The hotel, however, was
badly scortched, sustaining a loss of
$4,000. All the guests were turned
into the streets, many of them leaving
without stopping to save their effects.
The telephone system was put out
of commission and the city light sys-
ten was endangered.
No fatalities have ben reported, al
though several of the firemen were
badly hurt by falling falls and many
people had thrilling experiences.
The district burned was in the heart
of the retail section. 1t includes all
the buildings between Government and
Broad streets, extending from Fort
street to the alley back to Trounce
avenue.
In the square bounded by Broad,
Fort, Government streets and Trounce
avenue. only those buildings facing
Trounce avenue escaped destruction.
