tieally destroyed by fire Yesterday at
ternoon at 4.j0. although the outside
walls were left standing. The building
WAS erected in 1895 at cost Of $50.
geo. and the value of the equipment
may have been $1,000 more There
was no insurance on the building. rs il
has been contrary TO the policy Of the
city for nearly 70 years to carry in
surance upon any Of its buildings The
annex to the school. which is not vet
Completed and will cost S6O,00o. was
saved by energetic work ON the part
of the fire department. Fortunately
the annex is so far completed as to be
rooted in. and the snow on the roof
afforded protection against the sparks
from the burning building. The two
buildings are connected by a corridor
and the fremeu found their seyercst
task in preventing the spread Of the
fire to the annex by way of this cor
riuor.

4 Medical Opinion. on Up to date

The lattcr-day dances have been dis
cusscd and criticized from almost every
standpoint. To complete the list, the
journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation has recently raised its digni
fed and professional ed'toral voice ia
gentle warning. 1t seems somewhat
late, it says, 10 enter q mild pro
test against the fervor with which the
newest 'so-cailed dances have been
taken up by public already satur-
ated with various nerve and mind
destroying amusements and caprices. 1t
seems unnecessary to call attention to
the fact that the tango, the various
wales, the maxixe, etc., are being ar
dueusly cultivated by callow youth and
calloused old age. The problems ere
atcd by these dances differ according
to the age of the participants; for the
Young the question OF morality is para
mount; for the old The possibility oil

rives too great a pleasure from thost

military occupation of the principal
islands of the Marshall. Caroline.
Marianne and Pelew groups. where
special guards have been established.
Baron Kato thanked America for its
kind offices in obtaining the release OF
Japanese in Germany. He said he be-
lieved others were still detained, and
that he would rely on further assist
ance from America in their behalf.
OF conditions in China the foreign
minister said:
'"The maintenance of peace and order
in China is not only of the greatest
Importance to China, but is fraught
with grave consequences to ourselves.
The government hopes that nothing
will arise to disturb the tranquility
here"
Thanks to strong preventive meas
ures by the Chinese government, Baron
Kato said. no serious uprising had fol-
lowed the suspension of negotiations
for the Chinese loan. 1t was feared. he
said that the financial difficulties
would increase with the suspension of
the negotiations and that disturbances
consequently would arise in different
parts of the country.
