Coffee Market

New York, December 15-The market for coffee futures opened barely steady at decline of 5a11 points under scat tering liquidation following yesterday s sharp advance and in sympathy with some disappointing European cables. There was nothing in the days primary news, unless it was the continued com paratively large receipts, to promote sell ing, and during the early trading prices held steady around the initial figures. Later. however, leaa,ng coasters who have been giving the market a good deal of support withdrew their buying orders and prices eased off under continued liquidation or local bear pressure. The close was steady at net loss of 6@25 points. ..s5s

Heroic Work of Employees
Saved the Dry Kiln and
Lumber Yards.
STARTED IN ONE CORNER OF
THE MILL AT THE NOON HOUR
AND SPREAD WITH ALARMING
RAPlDiTY-SEVERA EMPLOYEES
WERE INJURED AND TWO RESI-
DENces WERE DESTROYED.

The most destructive fire to occur
in West Florida in gmany years was
that of yesterday afternoon, when the
immense sawmill of the Alger-Sullivan
Lumber Co, at Century, was totally
destroyed by fire. The loss is esti-
mated at over a quarter of million
dollars, partially covered by insurance.
Several employees were badly burned,
but there were no fatalities. Two res
licences, half a mile from the mill,
caught from sparks, and were de-
-stroyed.
The fire started at the noon hour in
one corner Of the mill, according to in
formation furnished The Journal by
ore of the officials of the company,
and in. less than five minutes the en-
tire mill was a mass of flames. The
water supply was cut off, rendering
the extensive fire system useless, but
the hundreds of employees formed
bucket brigades and by heroic work
saved the planning mills, lumber sheds,
the new concrete dry kilns and an I'M
mense amount of lumber in the yards.
A high wind from the south assisted
the men in saving the balance of the
plant, blowing the sparks in an oppo-
site direction. In their work of han
ding buckets and tearing away wood
work to keep the flames from spread.
ing, quite number of employees were
either burned or else injured by fall.
ing boards, but none of their injuries
are of a serious nature.
During the fire sparks fell half a
mile away, setting fire to the resi-
dences of W. +. Abbott and S. A. Tay.
lor, both of which were destroyed, to-
gether with much of their contents.
1t was several hours before the fire
was under control and all last night
employees stood guard for fear sparks
might be blown into the lumber yards
and start another fire.
BUILT IN 1900.
The plant destroyed was construct
ed in 1900 by the Alger-Sullivan Co.,
who also established the town of Cen
tury. This company was formed by
Gen. Russell A Alger, Martin H. Sui
livan, Col. W. D. Mann and others.
The mill had a capacity of several
hundred thousand feet of lumber per
day, and was considered one of the
most modern in this section Of the
country.
Officials could not state definitely
yesterday afternoon whether or not
the mill would be rebuilt, but it is
very likely that it will be, and an
even more modern plant Installed.

COUNCIL WILL
ACT TONIGHT
ON 3 MATTERS
SPECIAL Meeting CALLED TO
PROVIDE CANvASSERS FOR
ELECTION, AND ACT ON BOND
TRUSTEES BUSINESS.

A special meeting of the city coun.
Gil has been called for 1880 O'Clock
tonight for the purpose of apoint-
ing a board OF canvassers, to act up
on the recommendation of the bond
trustees in making final payment to
the United States Wood Preserving
Company for the wood block paving
work, and to act on proposed amend.
ments to the supplemental paving
contract.
Notices for the meeting were IS
sued late yesterday afternoon and
will be served this morning.
The wood block paving contract
has been completed, and the bond
trustees stand ready to make final
payment on the contract, but the
final payment does not release the
contractors altogether from city SER
vice, as bond is required for the re-
pair of the block pavement for a pc
riod of five years. This document
has already been filed with the bond
trustees.
The necessity for the meeting to-
night is almost absolute, since the
canvassing board for the bond elec-
tion, to be held next month, will be
but one matter that has to be finish
ed quickly to get everything in shape
for the election to be properly held.
OF course, there are other details to
be looked after.

London, May 16.-Theodore ROose-
welt, special American ambassador
of the United States to the funeral
of King Edward VII, arrived in Lon
don this morning, was received by
King George at Marlborough House
and later visited the throne room in
buckingham palace, where the body
of the late monarch is privately ly-
ing in state.
The entrance to the city of the dis
tinguished American was quiet and
in marked contrast with his appear
ance at other capitals and with what
would have been made of the oc-
casion here but for the demise of the
British ruler.
1t was Whit Monday holiday, but
despite this fact, the popular crowd
at Victoria station was small one.
There was no cheering, but as Mr.
Roosevelt alighted from the train AMI
was escorted By American Ambas-
sador Reid to the royal carriage
which had been sent for him, those
who looked on silently lifted their
hats.
The Roosevelt party, which includ-
ed Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt
and Kermit, left Berlin at noon yes
terday and reached Blushing Hol-
land last Midnight. They continu-
ed upon the regular train to Queens,
borough, England, where special
train was waiting for them and
which preceded the regular express
to London, arriving at Victoria sta
tion four minutes earlier than the
regular train which followed at 7:45
o'clock
PARTY REACHES LONDON.
The transfer to the special was
quickly made and at o'clock the
party proceeded for this city. which
was reached at 7:30 o'clock. 1t had
been supposed that Mr.. Roosevelt
would arrive on the regular train AMI
this fact may have accounted in part
for the comparatively small crowd at
the station. Upon the station plat
form awaiting the Roosevelts were
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid and the
members of the American embassy
and their wives, all dressed in mourn
ing: Consul General Griffiths and the
staffs of the consulate, Robert ].
Wynne, former ambassador, and Il
small group of American residents
here. There was no music, waving
of flags, or other demonstration.
When the greetings had been eX-
changed Lord Dundonald escorted
the Roosevelts and Ambassador and
Mrs. Reid to the royal carriages
which had been placed at their dis
posal by the king and they were
driven at once to Dorchester house,
the home of the ambassador. Later,
accompanied by Mr. Reid, Mr.. Roose-
welt, in the capacity of a special am
bassador, visited the king at Marl-
borough house. Following his recep-
ton by the monarch, he was escort
ed ter buckingham palace and shown
into the throne room, where, upon
the catafalque reposed the body of
King Edward. Mr.. Roosevelt was ac-
companied to the palace by Mrs.
Roosevelt and the members of the
American embassy and their wives.
The Victoria station Is closely pick
eted and patrolled by the police.
Every entrance and exit is guarded
and all applicants for admission
This precaution is taken
for the protection Of all the mem
bers of royalty and other official rep
resentatives who are coming here 4or
the funeral.
In the course of the forenoon Mr..
Roosevelt called upon the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught at Clarence
House.
