NO CAUSE
KNOWN YET
FOR FORT FIRE

The board of officers at Fort Du-
Pont which investigated the origin Of
the fire in the stables at the fort yes
terday, are unable to reach a cou-
clusion as to the cause of the blaze.
They believe that electric wiring with
in the building might have caused the
fire. One of the officers said today
that they had gone over the matter
thoroughly, but the cause of the fire
was as much a mystery as it was yes
terday.
When asked whether the destruc-
tion of the stables with mules and
horses it. contained, would interfere
with the movement of the troops at
the fort in case they had to go TO the
Maxican border, the officer said he
did not think so.
The fire loss will reach about S15,-
600, the figures submitted yesterday.
The government carries no insurance.

rest. as indicated by the serious labor
troubles which have greatly interfered
with British industry during the last
year and which now threatens TO cul-
inmate in a general miners strike on
March 1, is a source Of the most con-
cern to King George. His Majesty
made this plain in his speech from
the throne at the opening Of Parlia-
ment today
The King said that England was
adhering rigidly to her policy of non
interference in Chinese affairs ana
expressed the hope that the new Re
publican government would prove
stable"
Regarding the Italian-Turkish war
the King said that the British gov
ernment was ready TO seize upon the
first favorable opportunity to join
with the powers in urging mediation.
There was much surprise over the
failure of His Majesty to mention
Germany i'm his speech and this was
taken as proof that either the nego-
tiations which War Minister Haldane
began at Berlin were not concluded
or that they failed altogether.
The King rode TO Parliament in
state After the guard searched the

since the Guy Fawkes gunpOwder

no gunpowder secreted in the struc-
