SMALL FIRE AT R0XBURY.
Central vermont's Waterhouse Wiped
Out This Morning.

The waterhouse at Roxhury was
burned this morning. News that the
Central Vermont railroads structure in
Roxbury was in flames reached the city
this morning with the arrival OF an
early train crew. Later reports indi-
cate that the efforts of the village fire
department proved futile. the building
having been reduced to ashes before the
flames could be stayed. The loss is not
large and the blanket policy, which
usually covers railroad property in every
town on the line, will probably protect
the company in its misfortune.
Roxbury's water house was no larger
than the village hotel that burned last
fall The large tank was housed by
an ordinary frame structure that burned
rapidly once the flames gained good
hold. Railroad men say that the stand
pipe connecting the tank with the en-
gines will not have to be replaced. and
that the work of duplicating the com
pany's watering plant will therefore con-
sumo but little time.

A protocol Of Peace"
Manufacturers in the dress and shirt
waist industry of Boston and represen-
tatives Of their striking employees began
conferences yesterday on the now fam
Gus protocol OF peace" which they hope
will bring the strike to close soon.
This protocol OF peace" will provide for
a preferential shop, union hours and
prices, higher and lower courts for the
adjudication of industrial disputes and a
joint board of sanitary control
Satisfaction was expressed on both
sides that there is big possibility OF end
ing the present trouble in-aH amicabie
manner when the confidence closed ut
the Bellevue yesterday afternoon. Both
manufacturers and officials representing
the strikers favor the adoption OF pro-
toeol. which was the means OF ending the
big shirtwaist strike in New York. II
this action is taken both sides agree that
there will be no need of strikes or lock.
outs in the future.
In the hope that settlement can be
reached with the association of manu-
facturers, the Ladies' Gament Workers
union is delaying signing any agreement
with individuals. international Vice
President Abe Mitchell declared last
night that the union prefers to settle
with the association that represents the
as a whole rather than
with the individual manufacturers.
Atty. Leon r. Eyges, speaking for the
association, said; Not
the violence and attacks
resulting in the sudden strike of the
ircss and shirtwaist workers, have ad-
rised the manufacturers to ignore these
things in treating with their 1000 EN-
oloyes, and hope that some of the issues
which have presented themselves will be |
speedily adjusted.
"The association proposes to be as |
LIBERAL as any body of manufacturers |
AN be. / am considering the protocol of |
,eaee as laid down in New York, with |
'ertain changes. We expect an early I
ettlement along the lines of this proto-

TRYING TO ESTABLISH
MADERO'S HOSTILITY
Huerta Government Is Endeavoring to
Show That the Late President Tried
to Stir Up an Anti-American
Feeling in Mexico.

Mexico City, March s.--During the
closing days of the Madero administra-
tion il is asserted, the late President
AIadero made strenuous efforts to incite
an anti-American feeling throughout the
republic, and in order to prove this the
Huerta government is considering the
advisability of making public the official
kilograms and letters dispatched by the
late president.
Among the orders alleged to have been
given by Madero is one in which he is
said to have directed officers of Mexi-
can gunhoat at Vera Cruz to fire upon
the American marines at the very
moment when an attempt would be made
to land forces from the United States
warships, paying no regard to the eN
pressed purpose of the American naval
commanders merely to protect foreign
ers.
Battle Expected Tomorrow.
Three columns of the regular army
and 1000 adherents of Pascual 0rozco

ing to a statement issued to-day by the

pected to be fought tomorrow near Mon
colva unless Carranza manages to escape
over the border.
Last night there was heated debate
in the Chamber of Deputies on the ques-
ton of the amnesty bill introduced by
the provisional government. The lead
ers of the opposition criticised the gov
ernment for offering amnesty to the
rebels who had been guilty OF incendiar-
ism and other forms of brigandage and
eontended that amnesty should be
granted only to political offenders and
not to robbers and bandits.
