$4,000 Mill Loss at Winooski.

The carbonizing plant Of the Ameri-
can Wooden company at Winooski was
completely destroyed by fire Friday
evening, entailing a loss of about
$50. 900 fully insured. The origin of
the fire was in the dryers and flames
shooting out from them were the first
signs of anything out of the ordinary.
The report of fire had become general
at least Is minutes before the alarm
from the Wooden company's private
box was turned in. The building was
erected about six years ago at cost
of about $4,000 and the value of the
stock in the plant is estimated at about
500, 900. 1t was brick building, two
stories high and about $50 feet long
This plant was used to separate with
acids the cotton from the rags. The
mills have been running night and day
! for the past two weeks, but the fire
will not interfere with the work, as
the wooden company is equipped with
similar plants at their other mills and
the wool rags will be forthcoming
| from them.

Negotiating With Carranza.

1t Is now week since President
HUERTA abdicated and fed from the
city of Mexico but the Constitutional.
lists, triumphant in the field. seem to he
in no hurry to take possession. To DR..
CARBAJAL, the new provisional Presi-
dent, the purpose of armed resistance
is attributed If the victors do not grant
general amnesty. But he has no
sufficient means of resistance. He is
only parleylng. When Governor CAR
RAMA gives the word the capital will
be occupied. Meanwhile there is no
disorder. Even the Cientificos under
stand the futility of opposition. They
can negotiate for terms, but do no
more.
Why. il may be asked, are the Con
stitutionalists marking time now that
their cause is wonf The answer is
that they must have the support of the
United States for their Government, or
peace in Mexico will be short lived.
without recognition they cannot raise
money and carry on the Government.
II wiz lVL ~ iNiblif-l ny
WILSON except on terms agreed to. lie
on his part has 10 treat with Great
Britain, Germany, France and Spain as
well as with the Constitutlonalist lead
ers. Those Powers demand protection
of the interests of their citizens, and
furthermore. there are scores TO be
settled. Great Britain requires salts
faction for the murder Of WILLIAM =
DENTON; France has brought up the
gricvous case of the execution of two
Christian Brothers at Zacatecas by
General VILLA; Spain can call Cover
nor CARRANzA as First Chief to ac-
count for many outrages. and Germany
has claims that cannot be disregarded.
As all these Powers recognized Pres
ident IlUERTA, and, like the United
States. never allowed the Constitution
alists belligerent rights. there is evil
IDENTIFY difficulty about the process OF
obtaining satisfaction. The Consttu-
| tlonalists would be in an independent
and very strong position If the support
of the United States were not vital to
their Government, for they served no.
/ tice on tho world long ago that they
would not he responsible for the acts
Of General HUERTA and the Congress OF
| his creation. International law in the
! large sense does not require them TO
settle the claims of citizens of nations
| that recognized the dictator Moreover,
policy inclines those nations to depend
upon the United States for relief and
not TO resort to force.
SO it becomes necessary for the Con
stitutonalists to bargain with Presl'
dent WILSON acting for other nations
as well as for the United States, before
a Government that would have any
chance Of success can be set mp in the
city Of Mexico. The negotiations mus
proceed with dellberation. and mean,
while harmony must be preserved In
the ranks of the victors. The situation
is therefore an anxious one for all con
cerned. DIR. CARBAJAL Is little more
than a fifth wheel In the business.
