London, May %. Beneath
the momentary wild excite
ment caused by what the
London papers tonight call
"an orgy Of outrage" disin-
terested observers clearly see
the symptoms Of a revulsion
of feeling against the mili~

Only those actually on the
ground can appreciate the
tremendous differences be-

Fire which is believed to
have originated from a pass
ing locomotive late this after
noon destroyed the Nam
moth plaut Of the West Box
and Lumber company, in this
city entailing a loss Of NOR
than one hundred thousand
dollars. When first discov-
cred the fire had gained
much headWav and the crew
Of mill men were unable to
cope with it. By the time
that the fire fighters had ar
rived and laid about three
hundred feet Of hose the
blaze had grown to enormous
proportions and from that
time on it swept over the
plant almost unhindered as
the firemen could make no
impression on it with a nun
Der of streams. In addition
to the plant which was esti
mated at about thirty-hve
thousand dollars there was
about fifty thousand dollars
worth of material on hand
which had been finished and
ready for use. There was
also a large quantity Of rough
lumber. Eleven freight cars
filled with lumber were also
destroyed, thousands OF citl-
zens focked to the scene and
viewed the fire and in their
estimate it was one OF the
most spectacular ever seen
here The amount OF insur>
ance carried is very small.

South American jungles.
Four days at Sycamore Hi!
have brought back his full
measure Of strength. As ne
sat on the broad veranda OF
his home he appeared to he al
fit I hysically as before he
went away. The colonel to
day held a long council OF
war with a few political as
socrates. The political out
look in New York and Ohio
was taken up and plans for
vigorous campaign in New
York State were sketched il
bare outline. Much of Colo
mel Roosevelt's time and en-
ergies are to be directed t
the fight in New York Stat
which is expected to give on
Of the severest tests OF thu
strength of the new party.
The steamship Vaterlan(
of the Hamburg American
line, which arrived in Ne1
Ycrk on May Il on her maid

comparison will be possibi
