OVER 5000 HOUSES BURNED
Fire Swept Two Square Miles in City

Constantinople, July 25.-The con
Migration in this city which started
Sunday afternoon continued until 3
O'clock yesterday morning, by which
time the flames were gotten under
control, but practically because there
was no further fuol in their path.
The disaster was The greatest since
the great fire in Pera, the European
quarter In 1870 1t is believed that
the present fire was the work of po-
itical incendiaries. 1t broke out sim
ultaneously at several points in STAN
bull, the ancient city. while the people
were celebrating the anniversary OF
the new constitution.
The most formidable blaze flared up
near the ministry of war and was
blown by strong north wind through
the residential section to the southern
coast. From the square in front Of
the war ministry east of the center Of
Stambul 10 the sea of Marmora on the
south practically nothing was left
standing Two square miles of the
city was devastated. II is roughly
estimated that over 5000 houses were
destroyed The greater number of
these were wooden buildings but sew.
eral important stone structures were
ruined. The European quarter across
the Golden Horn to the north and
east was at no time in danger, owing
to the contrary direction OF the wind.

Wickefsham Says "Proof' Lies in Az.
fidsvlt Which Can't Be Found

Washington, July 25.-Attorney-
General Wickersham yesterday brand
ed as falsehoOds the charges of Dele
gate Wickersham of Alaska that the
attorney general had shielded Alask-
an criminals and had allowed the
statute of limitations to run in an
alleged coal contract fraud case.
These and other emphatic disclaim-
ers were made before the House com
mittee on the judiciary as an answer
70 the delegates allegations.
The Encouragement said that the
proof which the 6'egate he'd given
him in the coal Cece consisted OF an
affidavit by II. ]. Douglass, formerly
auditor OF the Alaskan syndicate.
This purported to show that con-
spiracy had been entered into by the
Northwestern commercial company
and the John ]. Sesnor company 10
get contracts for supplying coal to
government forts in Alaska. The
Douglass affidavit referred to alleged
atiidavits made by Capt. Jarvis, who
was head of the Alaska syndicate
company, and who recently com.
mitted suicide in Seattle, and by John
II. Bullock, who was president of the
Sesnor company. The attorney-gen
eral said that Special Assistant At
tOrney-General Mcnamara, who was
sent to Alaska to investigate the
case, found no such affidavits and
that the war department records
failed to show anything of the sort as
claimed. The. Encouragement said

TWO MlDsHIPMEN MISSING
Massachusetts, and Mississippi Boys
Lost in Norwegian Mountains

Washington, July 25.-The two mid.
shipmen who have been missing since
last Thursday from the naval acade-
my practice squadron, now at Ber-
gen, Norway. are Charles l.. Clifford
of Massachusetts and CASTOR l..
Holmes of Mississippi, both of the
second class. The men are apparent
ly lost in the mountains between Der
gen and Christiania and Comdr
CoontZ, commanding the squadron
yesterday reported to the navy de-
partment that he was not apprehen-
sive of any fatality. A searching par
~ has located their trail three times
in the vicinity of Haugastoel, walking
toward Christiania. This indicates
that they have lost their way as they
are proceeding away from Bergen
where their ships are anchored
As a matter of recreation the mid
shipmen left on an excursion to Finse,
Norway, on Thursday Clifford and
Holmes left the party during the %
minutes interval after dinner and
missed their train. Each has a return
ticket, but 1t seems that the young
men have lost the location OF the rail
road A diligent search by Lieut..
Banauken and a party of men and
guides is being prosecuted. The dis
patch from Comdr Coontz showing
that the searchers are on the trail OF
the missing men. has created belief
among naval officials that they soon
will be found.
