persons were routed from their beds in
lodging houses along East 23d street
early today, following the sounding OF
four alarms for a fire In a six-story loft
building near the corner of Second ave-

to the street by the flremen found them
selves shivering in the rain with raj
ment so scant that hospital ambulances
were called to escort them to shelter.
The fire after a two hours fight was
confined to the loft building. with loss
of about $25O,OOO. There was also some
damage from smoke and water to the
lodging houses on either side, and to the
22d street police station. which adjoined
the burned building in the rear. The
blaze caused a four hours tie-up in
traffic on the Second avenue surface and

The reported activity Of Col. Arthur
Williams, 11th Infantry. in command at
Fort d. A. Russell, Wyo. in rounding
up freight cars for the transportation OF
troops to the Texas border, is said at the
War Department to be due to nothing
more than a laudabIe desire to have the
troops In readiness to respond to any call.
It is pointed out that the troops from
Fort D. A. Russell were nearly fort
night on the way from that post to San
Antonio during the mobilization move
ment last summer. owing entirely to lack
Of railway cars, and 1T is believed that
Col. Williams does not intend to be plac-
ed in that position again II he can help it.
No Emergency at Hand.
But the War Departments orders to
this officer are similar to those given to q
large number Of other post commandants
more than two months ago; namely. to
have their troops in readiness to meet
any emergency: and it is declared at the
War Department that there has been no
change in the Mexican situation to war

is near at hand.

The Dutch people are very proud Of
their admiral, and possess almost as
many statues and pictures of him as
We do of Nelson. The country is pure

in for dairy farming good deal, one
