The alarm was sounded from box
65, at State and Commerce streets
and when the fremen arrived the
front of the building was a mass OF
flames. The alarm, this morning,
was out OF order by an open circuit
at Buckingham avenue and State

the taps they thought 1t was test.
This hindered them In making good
time to the scene of the blaze
When Chief Rocks saw the blaz-

work. This action probably saved
the adjoining frame building. Sew

Ii we are to save China Yuan IL
quoted as having said, there must be
stable government, and at once. Ny
sole aim In this crisis is to save China
from dissolution and the many evils
that would follow.
Il doubt whether the people OF Chi
ma are at the present time ripe for a
republic or whether under present con-
dltions republic is adapted TO the
Chinese people.
II believe the Chinese to be reason
able people and that there Is no desire
on the part OF any considerable ele-
ment to see the country disrupted and
destroyed. What | am working for is
a compromise with the advanced or
republican party with a view to end
ing the conflict and removing the trou-
Bile and complications With which this
country Ii threatened
My only reason for favoring the re-
tention Of the present emperor is that
believe In constitutional monarchy.
The. present agitation for a republic
has carried to the people. as mass.
only the idea that popular government
means no taxes and no government.
j can see In 1t no promise Of stability,
at least not Ior several tens OF years. y

Do Not Credit Partition Rumor.
Speefat by United Press Wsre.
washington, Dec. 2S.-Without
official adyices on the world s-rnmor
that a partition OF China had been
decided upon by the Powers, the
state department was inclined to be-
lieye that the report had been set In
by the imperial govern
ment itself. 1t was pointed out by
officials that fear of partition would
be the one thing which the Chinese
people might unite to repel. and pos
sibly the Manchu dynasty has decid-
ed upon the plan to attempt recon
ciIiation of the warning factions.

A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL

John G. Brown, of Chicago,
formerly of Duluth and we'll
known on the range, testified on
Monday in the steel probe at
Washington regarding his at
tempt to gain reduction in ore
rates from the 8O-cent rate then
charged some years ago. The
suit brought by MIR. Brown and
others was dismissed by the Min
nesota railroad and warehouse
commission without adjudication.
Mr.. Brown testified that the suit
was dismissed by attorneys for
the compliments, who notified
them that, conflicting interests and
difficulty in raising money to
prosecute the case made the &C.
ton unnecessary. 1t was also
testified that the attorneys for the
petitioners at the time also repre-
scented the Oliver Iron Mining
Company, which later became a
part of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Evidently a case of wheel

thrown open to other attorneys to
