when nlsht c:m a crirn order clearing the rtreets v.-; is issued by the rity an.l county authorities. Ijite the precaution of the authorities thrr ws mu'h confusion In the streets at nteht. The destruction of wires left the city in darkmss save for the dull glow given off by the acres of embers Jn the two great tire areas, Hundreds of belated visitors crowd. 1 around the depots and struggled In the dirk for places In the overcrowded trains. The street-railway system was also severely Impaired through the injury of its virs. Karly in the day the major issued an order forbidding the nie of liquor. It was not obeyed, however, and there was considerable drunkenness. T V I N T Y- FI V 1 : 1 5 LOC K S . The area of the destruction foots up roughly twenty-five city blocks. From Main street to Paterson street, between Van Ilouten and Market streets, there is but little left. On the block bounded by Main. Kllison, Washington and Market etreets not a building, excepting that of the Paterson Savings Institution, stands. All along the west side of Main street property Ls wiped cut, and on the east side also from Market to Van Ilouten street. Along the south side of Proadway, between Washington and Church streets, preat damage has been done. Van Ilouten utreet is reduced to smoldering debris for some distance. Ellison street suffered from the neighborhood of Prospect street, on its north side, as far as Church street. On the south side of this street thereiis widespread ruin from a short distance west of Main street to the parsonage of the Second Presbyterian Church, near Paterson strict. Market street is a pile of ruins from Main street to the Market-street Churcn on the north side and on the south side. Noft'here was the scene, of devastation mrrc marked than north of the Erie railroad. In the district bounded by Sixteenth avenue and Market street. There was pimply nothing but ashes left to tell that a busy and populous section of the city had ever existed. On Washington street, between Ilroadway and Market streets, practically nothing is left. Church street is wiped out on its west side between Ellison and Market streets, as it is on the ea?t Bide. It was in its newest and best built portions that Paterson- suffered, though some of the property now lying in the blackened ruir.3 had an Interest which came witn age and usage. The trolley car stables, where the Humes began, had in their time been a skating rink and also the scene of political rallies and other popular gatherings. The First Papt st Church had a history all its own, Its origin running back for a century. The old City Hall, used for a police station, also wa3 a landmark. IJSSES MAY BK EESS. Neither the home of John W. Griggs, exattorney general of the United States, nor that of Mrs. irret A. Iiobart. widow of Vice President Hcbart, was harmed by the lire, both being well out of its path. The cost of the fire has not yet been counted with any degree of accuracy and it will be several days before there can be a definite tabulation of loss-.s and insurance. In the confusion of the day and the rigorous guarding of the burned districts at night it was Impossible to locate u majority of the heavier sufferers. The estimate of $l'Vo,0ou probably will cover the destruction broadly and a group of city oflicials, who went over the city this evening, were Inclined to scale that figure down to between J7.r),ooti and J9.f for actual property losses. Their estimates . made no calculation for loss on account of suspension of business.

The Western Union ami Postal Telegraph companies, American District Telephone Company and the Paterson, Passaic & Suburban Telegraph Company were ail completely burned out, with all of their delicate and expensive electrical equipment. Losses in many instances, notably in the case of the trust companies, will depend on how the vault and safes stood the test of fire. Had not the wearied Paterson firemen been helped during the day by brother firemen from neighboring cities and towns it is tolerably certain that the municipality would have suffered in a far greater degree than it did. Jersey City, Newark, Passaic, Rutherford, Ridgewood, Hoboken and Montclair sent engines and other apparatus, well manned, to the stricken city as soon as it became known bow tremendous a conflagration it was. The Jersey City firemen arrived about G o'clock in the morning, when the fire was at its height, the engines being run over railroads on Hat cars. The horses were carried in box cars speedily presseel into service. Ijute. to-night the tire still burned, though it had been well under control since midafternoon. The fine Interior of the Hamilton Club, which was the last of the buildings of prominence to sutler, was crackling, atul its walls were reddened with the glow from the slowly expiring Ha me s within and around. Many of the citizens were still about the streets, but the cordon kept by the police, ssisted by militiamen, was eiuite rigid. The quarter they were guarding was alive with firemen and lire machinery and wagons, which were beginning, in a small way, to clear away debris. The Sunday Chronicle Issued an extra at 2 e'c!ock this morning, giving the story of the first two hours of the fire. At 4 o'clock the fire spread down Ellison street, attacked the Chronicle office and completely destroytd it. CASUALTY LIST. Scores of persons were hurt and burned, but the loss of life is not thought to be great. There are many persons supposed to be missing, but in the excitement and fright most pf these are suppose'd to be separated from their families and friends. Until order is brought out of the chaos which has existed here to-day nothing definite can be known. Rebuin Islib, while serving coffee to the exhausteel firemen, was hit on the head by a falling beam, and it Is doubtful if he will recover. He was carried away by the firemen as they made their retreat, from the doomed schoolhouse. George Fitzmaurlce, fireman, who had been acting as driver for Fire Chief Stagg, is also dying. He was driving an engine for Passaic, when the horses bolted, and before Fltzmaurice could get them under control they brought the apparatus against an electric pole and Fitzmaurlce, who had not waited to strap himself in, was hurled out upon his head. There is no chance of his living. Mayor Hinchcliffe, while watching the firemen at work during the afternoon, received a slight burn on the cheek from a Hying spark. Several firemen were overcome, but none of them was incapacitated for more than a few minuter. One death was reported as a possible outcome of the conflagration, a Mrs. Brown, who is said to have been over eighty years old, and who was removed from her residence at No. IS Broadway, just two doe)rs from where the fire started in the carsheds. She was taken to the residence of a frienel near by, soon after midnight, and died about an hour later. It was said that her death was hastened by the excitement consequent on her hasty removal to a place of safety. ORIGIN DUE TO A WIRE. What started the fire is not certainly known, but it is thought that one of the feed wires running into the car barn wa3 responsible. From the car barns the Harnes leaped to other buildings close by, nnd these were burned before the first-call firemen reached the scene. Inside of two hours the fire reached Main street. This was the critical point of the lire. The firemen sought io keep the blaze confined there and failed. The First Baptist Church was one of the first to go after this. The destruction of the church was spectacular. The tower burned before the body of the building. A big blazing splinter was carried through the air and lodged on a window sill. From this the Haines spread up to the top of the tower, and while it was still intact the tower blaz"d up and presented a beautiful sight. From the tower the flames descended into the church, and from then on the fight was seemingly hopeless. Horses and wagons were taken possession of by all who could get them to-night. Ownership counted for nothing. Frightened occupants of houses took possession of vehicles and teams to cart their belongings away from the? lire'. Even horses nnd wagons which came from Passaic, bringing their owners to see the sights, were taken away by the property owners. Three" old-time cemeteries were in the city. Into these many moved their belongings. All morning and part ef to-day families wre in possession of the disused vaults in the Tresbyterian Cemetery. Some families we re very comfortably established by afternoon, except for the matter of heat. All have since found shelter in better quarters. An idea of the rapid spread of the flames during the early morning hours can be obtained from the experience of a woman who had a babe but a few days old at her breast. She was taken from her home and was helped to a store, two blocks away, where she was given shelter. Five minutes after she entered the store she was drien lrom it by the Harnes suddenly bursting In at the rear. This time she was taken three blocks away, and in ten minutes was once more obliged to seek safety in flight. Fifty persons were treated at the hospitals. At one time it was feared tho fire might reach the General Hospital. CAR SERVICE CRIPPLED. Only the cars to Newark arc moving. The trolley company lost practically all its cars except the few that were out on the lines. Last week the carhouse near Tassilo was destroyed by fire. The fire at Passaic was said to be almost certainly of Incendiary origin. There is no positive evidence that the fire last night was not legitimately started by accident of some kind, but the authorities have started an Investigation. The big bell In the belfry of the First Baptist Church sounded by the power of the wind while that building was burning. When the fire attacked the steeple it. of course, burst the windows and soon burned away the wooden shutters around the bell. The wind, hitting the nicely balanced bell, caused it to sway and to toll it until the Hames had eaten away the wooden balance wluel. and a little later bell and all fell to the ground. Charles Abrams, an employe of the trolley company, appears to have been the first to discover the fire. He says that eluring the two hours before it broke eut cars were run into the barns every few minutes. He had occasion to visit the main shed and found the whole rear portion In Hames. He turned in an alarm, but although he had but a few feet to go tlw entire building was on fire before he could pull the box. Monday, 1:13 a. m. The wind died out during the night and the danger of a fresh outbreak of lire from Hying sparks was for the time greatly lessened. It sprang up again at midnight, and an hour lattr was blowing quito hard. The firemen remained on guard at every point of danger and streams were kept playing into a number of buildings. At midnight the military guards were relieved by fresh men, who will remain on watch through the rest of tne night. The sentri.s blocked every avenue leading into the two burned districts and preserved perfect order. Dozens of the shells of buildings that still stand are dangerous.

in that a strong wind would topple them over, and steps will be taken early this morning to have them torn down. MEASURES roil RELIEF.

Three MeetliiK Held, but There Were Few Applicnnt for Help. PATERSON. N. J.. Feb. 9. Three relief meetings were held during the afternoon, the principal one of which was attended by Governor Franklin Murphy, Mayor John Hinchcliffe and Recorder George B. Senior, who, under the city's charter, is fire marshal. In a few moments $S00 was handed to the mayor for immediate use, but the chief magistrate said that, while the city had suffered a terrible visitation, he was in a position to say that there was very little distress. The business section of the city had been practically wiped out, but the residence portion which suffered was that in which well-to-do citizen lived. The armory of the Fifth Regiment was made headquarters for the relief of any persons desirous of assistance, but up to a late hour no applicants tor help visited tho building. Major George P. Olcott. who was in charge, said he did not expect to find more than a score of people who needed assistance. Chief of Police Graul and Sheriff Sturr established temporary offices in the city treasurer's office, and. the sheriff swore in fifty special deputies, who were immediately sent to the burned districts for the protection of life and property. Governor Murphy and Mayor Hinchcliffe said they were extremely grateful for the assistance given by the fire departments in the nearby cities, which responded promptly to the calls for aid. "L am deeply grateful to the men who so promptly came to our assistance," said the mayci, "and were it not for their quick arrival and subsequent heroic work 1 am afraid that the city of Paterson would by this time have been a desolate black spot. Too much credit cannot be given by our citizens to the fire lighters, and the thanks of the community, which has had such a severe visitation, while, to my mind, Inadequate, are the only offerings we can make to those who helped us in our terrible hour of need." Temporary relief quarters were established early in the day at St. Paul's Church, where Dr. Hamilton presided at a meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society, but it was stated that there were only a few applicants. The wants of these were quickly attended to. v TO PREVENT DISORDER. Mnyor of City ami Sheriff of County Incite n. Proclamation. PATERSON. N. J., Feb. 9. To check disorder and prevent crime Mayor Hinchcliffe and Sheriff Sturr to-night issued the following proclamation: "Whereas, By reason of the recent fire, it is necessary that prompt action be taken by the city and county authorities to protect the lives and property of our citizens bv the strict enforcement of the orellnances of the city and the laws of the State of New Jersey, "Therefore, we, John Hinchcliffe. mayor of the city of Paterson, and John W. Sturr, sheriff of the county of Passaic, do hereby proclaim that all persons shall refrain from traveling or being upon the public streets of the city of Paterson within the limits of the burned district after the hour of 7 o'clock p. m., and any person refusing or neglecting to obey tills proclamation shall be subject to arrest anel punishment. "Householders and property owners within the said district will be allowed to pass upon giving satisfactory reasons and proofs to the officer or otticers who may be assigned to the said district to enforce this proclamation. "Necessary instructions and authority have been given to the police officers, constables, deputy sheriffs and militia to enforce this proclamation." I'MIHUWHITKHS MEET. New York. Companies "Will He the Heaviest Losers in Paterson. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. There was a hasty assembling of the fire underwriters at Newark to-day, and efforts were made to obtain from Paterson an idea of the losses there. It seems that the loss will fall largely on the companies which are foreign to the State of New Jersey. The four Newark companies, the Firemen's, Merchants', Newark Fire, and American of Newark, with the aid of maps of the city, this afternoon made up an estimate of their losses. They are not badly hit, as their payments will not be more than $40,OoQ in any case. From these figures the amounts scale down to IlL'.ouo, making but a comparatively small amount in the aggregate. Losses are likely iff fall largely upon the insurance companies of this city. While no formal meeting of underwriters has been held, the general impression among them is that insurance carried In this city by Paterson will aggregate between (H.ij.OOO and IS.WMHHJ. This, of course, is merely an estimate, as no papers were available to-night which would disclose the actual amount of policies written by the underwriters here. Robert C. Rathbone, president of the Assurance Company of North America, said to-night that Iiis company would lese by the fire, but was unable to give any idea of the extent of the loss. He said: "I'll venture the statement that every fire insurance company of any standing that. has headquarters in America or that lias an American representative will suffer loss. While I cannot say positively, I'll venture to say that the Hartford Company, the Home Fire Insurance Company, the Liverpool, Eondon and Globe, the Continental and the Phoenix will be found among the companies most heavily struck." John II. Washburn, president of the Home Insurance Company, said: "There is no doubt that we will all suffer lesses, but of course it is impossible at this time to make an estimate of the loss. Few, if any, principal insurance companies will escape. Our company will be hurt; I do not know how heavily." A dispatch from Springfield, Mass., received to-day, said the Fire Insurance Company of that city would lose about JliW.oyO by the Paterson fire. ELEVEN BURN TO DEATH. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) be in a serious condlton, but so far no deaths have been reported from the hospitals. LITTLE GIRLS SUFFOCATED. PI re in 2Vevr York Claims the Daughters of u Physician. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Jennie and Elsie Berlingcr, aged eight and six years, respectively, children cf Dr. R. Gerlinger, were suffocated and died while a fire was in progress at their father's residence in this city to-day. The children were in their room on the top floor when the fire was discovered, and all efforts to reach their room were unavailing, as the fire had broken out in a connecting room, through which It was necessary to pas3 before the children could be reached. After the fire was extinguished the bodies of the children were found lying near the door. Chicago Theater Damaged. CHICAGO. Feb. 10. The Orpheon Theater in Washington street, opposite the City Hall, was damaged by fire this morning to the extent of 520.0O0. The Hames spread with such rapidity that three attaches of the theater and two hotel tailors who were in the building hen the fire started were overcome by smoke and severely burned before they could be rescued by the firemen. None of 'hern will die. It is the third time inside of six months that the theater has been on fire. Serious Fire at SeottsvIIle, Ky. SCOTTS VI LLE, Ky., Feb. 9. All the north end of the public square burned this morning, the loss being estimated at $30.0u0. The flames started at an earlv hour in the office of Sheriff Bradley, destroying1 his official records as well as those of the county treasurer, county Judges and Back Tax Collector Dalton. The latter, in addition to his books, lost js.OCO in notes. Slethotllftt Church Destroyed. IIAINBRIDGF, O., Feb. 9.-The Methodist Church burned here to-day. Loss, Jlö.toO.

GEN. KITCHENER'S CORDON

DE WET BREAKS THROUGH IT WITH A HERD OF CATTLE. Doers Heavy Losses The Kaiser's 3IIIitary - Anniversary Operations on Hindoo Twins French Revenues. LONDON, Feb. 9. From Wolvehoek Lord Kitchener to-day telegraphed a long description of a combined movement of numerous British columns with the object of securing General De Wet. Lord Kitchener says the advance began the night of Feb. 4, the whole force moving from various directions and forming a continuous line of mounted men on the west bank of the Liebenbergs Viel, from Frankfort as far south as Fanny's Home, and thence to Kaffirkopf. The line then advanced to the west, and the following night the British intrenched with their outposts fifty yards apart. They held the line from Holland, on the Heilbron-Frank-fort blockhouse line, to Doornkloof, on the Kroonstadt-LIndley blockhouse line, while the columns were also working in advance of the blockhouse lines to prevent De Wtt crossing. The advance was continued on Feb. 6 and De Wet was within the inclosure, but, realizing his position, he ordered hi3 men to disperse and seek safety during the night. De Wet himself, with some men and a number of cattle, made for the Kroon-stadt-Lindley blockhouse line, and at 1 o'clock in the morning, when it was very dark, by rushing his cattle at the fence, broke his way through the line, mixed up with the cattle, and losing three men killed. Many attempts were made to break through the line on the night of Feb. 7, reports Lord Kitchener, the line of outposts being attacked at various places throughout the night. But very few escaped, and ten dead Boers were picked up in the morning near Heilbron. "I did not get exact details of the Boer casualties." continues Lord Kitchener, "but as far as I have ascertained they consist of 25 In killed, wounded and prisoners, as well as about seven hundred tired horses and many cattle. Our casualties were only ten." Lord Kitchener's great plan, which he has been elaborating for months past, failed by the escapa of Dewtt, 'but was successful in the greatest single capture of Boers since Lord Kitchener arrived in South Africa. Altogether twenty-three columns were employed in an immense irregular parallelogram formed by the lints of blockhouses and the railroads between Wolvehoek, Frankfort, Lindley and Kroonstadt. It is estimated that Dewet's forces amounted, roughly speaking, to 2,000 men. Lord Kitchener personally superintended the final provisions for the expedition, and the great move was made in a frontier of forty miles, the advance extending sixty miles, with the object of driving the Boers against the railroad line, where armored trains were patrolling and were repeatedly in action, shelling the Boers to prevent their crossing the railroad. Dewet succeeded In slipping through the lines to the southward. The whereabouts of Mr. Steyn I unknown, though one report says he is with Dewet. On a 3Ilssion to America. LONDON, Feb. 10. Dr. Mueller, formerly consul of the Orange Free State to Holland, says the corresponelent of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague, has suddenly started for New York. He is understood to be on a mission for the Boer delegates. WILIIEL3PS AIIMV SERVICE. Quarter Century Rounded Out by Heview of First Guards Regiment. BERLIN, Feb. 0. The twenty-fifth anniversary of Emperor William's entrance Into active service in the First Regiment of the Guards was commemorated this morning at Potsdam by a service in the garrison church. This afternoon Emperor William reviewed tho regiment, the German Crown Prince and William Eitel-Fred-erlck partaking in the parade march. His Majesty then addressed the regiment and Colonel Plettenberg calk el for three cheers for the Emperor. A eleputation of officers and men, formerly attached to the regiment, then presented Emperor William with a copy of the monument to the regiment erected on the battlefield of St. Privat. His Majesty thanked the deputation for its gift and spoke to each veteran in turn. A regimental dinner was given this evening at which the ofilcers of the regiment were formally presented to the Emperor, the Grand Duke of Saxony and all the princes now in Berlin and Potsdam, in-e-luding Prince Henry, who shared in the celebration. In honor of the occasion Prince William Eitel-Frederick was promoted to a lieutenancy. 31 OX UM EXT TO WASHIXGTOX. David Christie 3Iurrny Suggests Its Erection In Great Britain. LONDON, Feb. 10.-David Christie Murray, the novelist and playwright, ha3 written a letter to the Daily Chronicle with reference to the Anglo-American committee which was inaugurated under the presidency of the Duke of Sutherland at Stafford House two years ago to promote an entente cordiale, but which has since remained dormant and is now f ending circulars to its membe rs asking them to assist in a platform propaganda. Mr. Murray thinks this is unnecessary, as it is needless to convert the converted; but he suggests the committee take means to secure subscriptions and on British soil to erect a statue to General Washington as a "national recognition of the justice of the cause in which he fought and a final signal of our amity with the American people." Mr. Murray then argues at great length In favor of this plan. He thinks that all Impartial Englishmen have for a century past regretted the blunder which led to the war. WHY THE PLAXS FAILED. Too 3Inny Soldiers Went ivith 3Hss Stone's Relief Committee. LONDON, Feb. 10. The Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, describing tho recent futile attempt to ransom Miss Ellen M. Stone, the captive American missionary, eays: "When the American delegates, with the ransom, left the railroael at Zeres by carriage they had an escort of thirty cavalrymen. But as they advanced into Macedonia the number of this escort was increased from all the military posts along the route. Small detachments joined the cavalcade, until, arriving at DJumbala, it was stionger than a squadron on a war footing." LAST OFFICIAL RECEPTIOXS. Queen Regent of Spain Receives the Presidents of the Chambers. MADRID, Feb. 9.-The Queen Regent of Spain held her final official receptions here Saturday, when the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies presented her with addresses of gratitude from the country, saving that the Queen had nobly done her duty as regent and mother under ellttlcult circumstances, and expressing the best wishes for the success of the young King.

The revenue returns for the month of January amounted to 237,3 U,Suo francs. Although these receipts are 29.113,000 francs below those of January, 1901, they slow considerable Improvement, as they are only 3i$.kA francs below the budget estimate for January. Tho decrease la principally due to the

change in excise taxes, the result of which had already been discounted.

Hindoo Twins Are Separated. PARIS. Feb. 9.-The Hindoo twins. Radlca and Dordina, who were united in a manner similar to the Siamese twins, who were exhibited throughout the world, were separated this afternoon by Dr. Doyon. The operation lasted twenty minutes and was entirely successful. But, owing to the weak condition of the patients, due to the illness of one of the twins, who has been suffering from thrush, the final result of the operation is still doubtful. Successful Cancer Culture. LONDON, Feb. 10. According to the Calcutta correspondent of the Dally Mall, tha Indian Medical Gazette announces that Dr. Rost, of the Indian medical service, has successfully cultivated cancer, and has infected a guinea pig with his culture.

By Tuesday .noon there will be a jam of visitors, as several special trains are to arrive, these being accompanied by bands and glee clubs. Just what the convention will do Is difficult to foretell. Theodore Shockney comes with the Indorsement of Randolph county at his back, George W. Cromer has Delaware county pledged to him, as weil as Adams and the practical certainty of Wells, and all but two of the twenty-three votes in Jay. Mayor Dunlap will be in the fray with the sixty-six votes to which Madison county is tntitled as a starter. The delegates from Adams county received their instructions some time ago. Randolph and Madison counties instructed their delegates in accordance with primary elections held Thursday, and in Jay county the delegates were chosen Friday after a most spirited local campaign. Wells county elected an nninstructed delegation on Saturday, which is practically assured to Mr. Cromer. Delaware county is solidly behind its candidate. Figures as to the first ballot are as thick as the flakes of a winter's storm, but nons of them can be depended upon to any degree of certainty. One set of first ballot predictions is as follows, and may be considered reasonably reliable: Cromer. Shockney. Dunlap. Adams , 11 Delaware 55 Jay 21 2 Madison .. CS Randolph 31 Wells 15 Totals 102 3G GG According to this Mr. Cromer and his opIosition have an even division of the vote, but how long this can be maintained is only conjecture. Should the delegations hoU out .firmly the convention could be deadlocked for an unlimited time, but the moment a break is made it will go all to pieces. Another calculation that is receiving considerable attention is based on the supposition that the Wells county vote will be evenly elivided, the other counties standing as in the first estimate. This would make this result: Cromer, 92; Dunlap, 71; Shockney, 41. Few Darens 31 en in Hendricks. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE. Ind., 'Feb. 9. The result of the congressional primaries in this county yesterday gives Mr. Holliday 13V, votes and Mr. Barcus 3. All the primaries were largely attended, and in some townships the vote was close. In one township a Barcus delegation was selected and then instructed for Holliday. In Center township two on the Holliday slate were elected by two votes and one on each slate tied, giving Holliday and Barcus each half a vote. There were 4O0 votes cast in Center township out of a Republican vote two years r.go of GOO. State convention delegates also were chosen yesterday. W. R. 3IcCleliand, for clerk of the Supreme Court, will have a solid county behind him. Protest Against Convention Acts. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ' TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 9. The Express and the Tribune of this morning printed with much prominence an identical communication protesting against the manner in which delegates were selected ia Parke and Clay countie s to the Republican congressional convention to be held next week a Greencastle. It is charged that the county committees of those counties usurped authority in selecting1 the delegates, or, rather, in permitting Mr. Maxwell in Parke and Mr. Holliday in Clay to name the delegates. The Tribune is Mr. Barcus's paper. EVERETT-MO ORE AFFAIRS. They Prohnhly Will Reach a Dasls of Adjustment This Week. CLEVELAND, Feb. 9. The coming week will probably see the fruition of a definite plan with regard to the disposition of Ev-erttt-Mcorc affairs. On Tuesday three street-railway experts will arrive in this city to make a personal investigation of the physical and financial condition of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company. These men will represent the Elkins-WId-ener syndicate, of Philadelphia, What their report will be Is only conjecture, but it is stated that before they are ready to report a proposition on tho part of the bankers' committee will bo ready anel it is probable that some definite plan of disposition of the properties will be announced before Saturday. One of four plans will be carried into effect. The first and most probable one if. the collateral trust plan, which, if successful, will enable the syndicate to go ahead with its work without selling any of Its property. Tho second involves the sale of the Federal Telephone Company in its entirety; the third involves the sale of the Detroit United, and the fourth the sale of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company. It will be seen from this that if any one of these plans goes through the syndicate will be in position to proceed with Its work. GRANITE TRADE CIRCULAR. Xevr Price Card Established on a Somewhat Higher Basis. BARRE. Vt., Feb. 9. The Barre Granite Manufacturers' Association has Issued a circular letter to the granite trade of the United States and Canada explaining the "central office" plan and Granite Exchange and Board which is to go Into effect on March 1. Over 50 per cent, of the manufacturers of this city. Montpelier and Northfleld have signed the agreement. The reason for the new enterprise, the circular states, is the high price of labor compared with that some tight or ten years ago. combined with the fact that there never has b-en such a uniform basis er scale of prices by which granite work has been computed. The circular Intimates that pricei may be raised Id or 15 per cent., but claims that the better service, material and work which will result will more than compensate. Looking Forward. Washington Post. Perhaps tome day ther may be a home for superannuated historical novel writers.

1ST FOR PEACE ON THE TURF WUSTEKX JOCKi:V CLVI1 STKAVAHUS "WILL Mi: ET TO- AY. Probably "Will Grant a License lo Highland Park CI ab at DetroitOther Ilaclnc Matters. CHICAGO, Feb. 9. Stewards of the Western Jockey Club will hold a special meeting here to-morrow, and are expected to take action that will wipe out the last bit of friction now existing in Western turf circles. The special meeting was called to consider the application of the Highland Fark Jockey Club, of Detroit, for spring racing dates. It is believed that Highland Park .will be granted a license and allotted dates. The meeting will be an aftermath of the regular session of the stewards, held one week ago. At that time the Douglas Park Illicing Association, of Louisville, which la headed by the Parmer-llendrie combination, was refused permission to race. An application from Highland Park, also controlled by Parmer & Hendrie, was passed over to the March meeting, with an application from the Detroit Driving Club, of which Mr. Campau is the head. The refusal to give dates to Douglas Park brought warlike statements from Mr. Parmer, but later he conferred with Judge Perkins, of Latonla, one of the Western Jockey Club stewards, and expressed his willingness to forget the Douglas Park affair If the Jockey Club would grant dates for Highland Park, for which he had previously announced stakes. An arrangement was In the meantime effected with Mr. Campau whereby he agreed not to push his request for dates for a rival track In Detroit. Terre Ilnnte Futurity Stakes.

NO CAUSE FOR ACTION. Colorndo Attorney (icnernl Passes on on the Hndelifte Claim. DENVER, Col., Fb. 9. It is announced that Attorney General Post has decided that William Radcllffe has no just claim against the Stale of Colorado or the government of the United States for the destruction of his property at Grand Mesa lakes by fire, and that Governor Orman will reply to this effect to the communication from Secretary of State Hay on the qutstion. The attorney general's report on the Incendiarism at Grand Mesa lakes, which will be forwarded to Secretary Hay, details the causes of the bitter feeling against Radcliffc among the inhabitants of that region and shows that the State made every effort to fix the responsibility for the burning of Radcliffe's property, but failed to apprehend the guilty persons. Secretary Hay will be told that the State is very sorry for Radcliffe's los, tilt that is all it can say in extenuation. It is said that, should the Rritish ambassador. Lord Pauncefote, press Radcliffe's claim for $Tw,(""0 damages after reviewing the Governor's communication evidence will be presttned showing that RadclirTe is not a Rritish subject, but that he applied for citizenship in the United States and received his first papers.

From what we know of the Jury we should not exactly cla?s It as a prayerful organization, though its dinners are often, characterized by that semi-religious pplrlt which sheds such a mellow light on New England gatherings. That the recent discussion must have been of extraordinary potency and brilliancy is evidenced by a letter from Robert Grant to a friend in this city, and Witten from Philadelphia, saying: "I am on my way to Virginia for a short respite from the stress of keeping up with A the procession." meaning the creascdtrouser procession. It is interesting ti note in conclusion that the eiecislon of tho Jury was that creased trousers are necessary to the careful appearance of all praying men the Jury included as overcoming the bagging at the knee, that rather ostet:tatious evidence of a contrite hour at tho confessional. THi: It E 31 A It KA II LI! TILI. ET. English. Labor Agitator Who Is Dls- ' Neminatliiff Mischief. Brooklyn Eagle. Sensible members of labor unions In, this country must feel a certain ham in their association with one Tillet. th English labor leader now touring this country and exploiting his Icnorancs before cur working men. This precious specimen told a company of supposed Americans in Raltlmore that thtlr civic and political life was a degradation: that they were burdened with fools and gang; that our Congress was corrupt; tu Senat corrupt; the Judiciary corrupt, and tint our Judges would sell Christ himself. W. have grown Mccu3tomed to the expression V)f English tourists of a rertain class wh come liere for a fortnight and go bacc knowing all about lis, to express thIr views in books or in the press, but wo have never entertained quite so radier. I an adviser as this. Nor have wo ever before endured the shame of knowing that such an addle-pate could find applauders for the odd thing about his speech is that a mob in front of him took these moutliings for truth and clapped and cheered him to the echo. How he must have despised that mob. It would be interesting to learn of tha treatment that would be accorded to any of our walking delegates if he appeared before a company of working men in England and slang-whanged in this fashion against the English Klry?, Parliament and courts. The probability is that the assemblage would arise and dance upon that orator until he assumed the supine srut regretful attitude of a pan cake. Courtesy to strangers is proper, even to fool PtranKers, and free speech is a right that we would not curb, but there is no law, cus- f tom or observance in this land that reejuircs applause on the part of supposed Americans fcr the anarchistic blather of a fellow like Tillet. Not only is he a liar, but he knows he Is a liar and hi audience knew he was a liar. What is the vise, then, of tole-rnnce and courtesy ia dealing with his kind? Leave him to mouth, to the empty air and urge him to take ea early etcamer back to England. UNIFORMED SOCIETIES. Military Companies nnd Others Hare Permanent Organization.
