practically destroyed by fire, which
started in the Baptist parsonage and
spread rapidly through the business
district Friday afternoon. A total
of twenty-eight structures, majorl-

destroyed before the flames burned
out.
A high wind was blowing all after.
noon and the fire spread with such
rapidity that the guests Of one Of The
hotels were threatened and several
slightly burned before they could
reach a place of safety. The absence
of fire department made the town
helpless. Although the Lake City
department was rushed to the city ny
special train. it was of no help on
account of the absence Of water
supply.
The residents and visitors Of
White Springs have been panic
stricken all night and 1t Is with dif
ficulty that shelter is found. Many
left for adjacent cities to get accom-
modations. The damage is conserv-
ativeIy placed near 100000.

NO sooner had Senator Beveridge
concluded his speech, in opposition
to Mr.. Lorimer, at 4:2o O'Clock, than
Senator Hale asked that. the undn-

Senate. *
This was the. resolution providing
for the constitutional amendment for
the election of United States Sena-

met the approval of the Chair and
the resolution was taken up.
Almost before Senators could have
time to realize what was taking place,
the Vice President directed the be-
ginning Of the roll-call on the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Sutherland,
eliminating so much Of the resolu-
tion as takes from Congress the right
to- supervise Senatorial elections. The
vote resulted in favor Of the amend

Immediately following the an
