In his usual candid manner and agreeing with a remark that the present was a much more opportune time for Ma visit, sail: " 'I know you Americans feel very sore about affairs In the East, ard I do not blame you. I myself made a mistake which I see now Is being exploited by the Knglish press to create a prejudice. When at HongKong, at a dinner on the Deutschland (the prince's flegship in the Fast. Commodor Dewey was present, and was the senior officer; there were two Russians, some Kngllsh and officers of other nationalities, which I cannot now recall, when 1 proposed the health of first the Czar of Russia, then others, and last of all that of the President of the United State. Dewey was offended.

i as I learned the next day. and 1 realized I had made a great mistake. I Immediately went on board the Olympia and saw Dewey, who accepted my apology most graciously." The prince added that he was well aware that mistakes had been made on their part, but that his relations with Admiral Dewey had always been of the most agreeable and pleasant character. He sent his highest regards to the ndmlral and expressed his sincere hope of seeing him during his visit to America.

The Dispatch tomorrow will gay: "The freight congestion in tho Pittsburg district has reached , a serious stage, and according to prominent shippers has never before been so bad. The principal trouble seems to lie In the lack of motive power, the long continued cold weather . having served to cripple mam engines and reduce the hauling capacity of many more. Retween forty and tifty engines were sent to the Fort Wayne road shops for repairs this week and nine freight engines on the Pennsylvania lines west are being utilized for hauling passenger trains. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials admitted to-ninht that they have between 500 and 600 empty freight cars east-bound which they are unable to move. "Tho situation may be expressed In bold figures about as follows: In the Conway yards, near Rochester, are 4,)o0 loaded cars west-bound, between and l.Ouo cars of coke consigned to the Illinois Steel Company are on the road somewhere between here and Chicago; the Frick Coke Company has l,ft cars of coke tied up at Connellsville and Jia'.WO tons of product 5tored: one-half of Its ovens will have to be drawn If the congestion continues; eight or ten furnaces are banked for want of coke in the Shenango and Mahoning valleys and twice this number must bank soon unless relief Comes; seven out of eleven Pennsylvania Steel Company furnaces are badly in need of coke ami live of tho Rack-awana-Steel Company's furnaces ut Cornwall are on the verge of closing down. The Lake Erie expects some relief in March, when it 'will receive twenty engines and 4oO coke cars. The engines will be the largest ever used In this section and will bo capable of hauling one-third more gross tralnloads than the engines now in use." Gen. Hood Klected President. BALTIMORE.

The- Police Think the Object Warn Robbery. Thomas Roark, a saloon keeper at 701 West Washington street, was assaulted late last night in his saloon by an unknown man for whom the police are searching. The police think the object was robbery, although Roark lost no money. He had just finished counting his money, and was preparing to close the saloon. Otto Swisher entered from the rear and stood talking with Roark at a pool table. Four other men, among whom was James Swisher, a brother of Otto Swisher, entered through the front door. One of the men, without saying a word, picked up a cue and struck Roark over the head with it, inllictlng a deep cut and knocking him down. Robert Miner, of 4J7 South -Missouri street, and Fred Jones, of 1722 Lockwood' street, who were thought by the police to have something to do with the assault, were arrested and charged with loitering. Swisher was charged with drunkenness and assault and battery. The man who struck Roark with the cue escaped. FIGHT IN A RESTAURANT. Colored Man nnd Ills Wife nntl AVblte 3Ien Arrested. -"" Lawshe and Streit, bicycle patrolmen, had a busy night o it last night. About 11 o'clock they were called taa restaurant at' 611 East Washington street to stop a big fight in which several white persons and a colored man were inextricably mixed. The colored man, Frank Motley, living: at Fast Court street, had gone into the restaurant to get some lunch, and while he was eating his wife came in and proceeded to get into a warm argument with him on domestic affairs. E. J. Nicholson, of &J1 Meek street; Charle3 Fads, of S40U East Washington street, and Harry Holland, of 13 Spruce street, were in the restaurant, and, taking sides in the difference, became involved in a fierce fight among themselves. liy the time the bike men arrived there were a number of black eyes and bloody noses, and the furniture in the place had been somewhat damaged. All the parties In tho affair were arrested. GREAT FIRE LOSS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) lire, fell. About five minutes later the back part of the third floor fell with a crash. The falling of the floors greatly assisted the firemen, for they were then able to get water Into places In the building which they had not before been able to reach. The falling of the floors lessened the chances of tho fire spreading to the adjacent buildings the one on the east occupied by William Haerle and on the west by the Arcade clothing store. The fire at 1 o'clock was apparently under control, although flames kept breaking out In new places every few minutes. TALK WITH D. IL I1UOSXAX. His Stock Valued nt J?ÖO,OÖO to 90.1,000, ivith TIiree-Fourtlis Insurance. It was after 1 o'clock when Mr. Brosnan reached the fire. Ho was greatly agitated and could not compose himself long enough to answer questions regarding the exact amount of his loss. He stood in the street for a brief moment, looking at the disastrous work of the fiames, and then hurried to the sidewalk with the evident intention of peering into the blazing building. Mr. Henry Kahn, of the Kahn Tailoring Company, opened the door to his establishment and Mr. Brosnan rushed Into the place. To a Journal repojer he said that he could not collect his thoughts to estimate his loss or to discuss. the amount of insurance he carried. "Don't ask me to answer questions or. discuss the matter now, for I am too agitated," said Mr. Brosnan. "I recently purchased a large new stock of spring goods, and I believe that the entire tdock on hand is worth between $00,000 and $03,000. I don't know the exact amount of insurance, but I think it was insured for about three-fourths its value. The Insurance was placed through the C. F. Sayles & Co. agency. "I am at a loss to understand how the fire started. All the gas In the store is turned off every night at the keys outside the building. The report that a boiler exploded is a mistake, for such a thing could not have occurred. The origin of the tire is a mystery to me." Just then the report reached Mr. Drosnan that James Dugan, the night watchman in the building, had not been seen and was evidently burned to death, a report that afterward proved to be untrue as far as Dugan's death was concerned. This Increased Mr. Brosnan's anxiety, and he rushed into the gtreet. The building was owned by Henry Schurman. It was valued at $13,CM3 to JIS.OOO and $12,000 insurance was placed with the Marlon Trust Company. FIRE CAME QiriCKLY. It Was n Hard One for the Department to Deal With. The flre, as a whole, was surprising. It came as a flash. Jacob Clary, merchant policeman, said he had been past the store not five minutes before. He tried the front door and at tho time saw nothing wrong inside. Patrclmcn Paulsen and Roue passed the store about the same time. They walked to Meridian street and the Circle and' met the sergeant and while talking the alarm was turned in. The fire was . one of the fiercest with which tho firemen have had to deal for many months. Everything in the store burned like tinder. The fire was down again almost as quickly as it came, being due to the falling of the floors, which smothered the fire at the bottom; allowed all of the water thrown into the building to fall upon it and left but little to burn above. WORK OF WATER TOWER. It Was Interfered with hy Overhead Wires An Electric Shower. The firrmen had great difficult' In getting the water tower to working because of the trolley wires. The trucks were placed on the street-car tracks and tho tower raised. When in an upright position It leaned to the side and touched the trolley wire. Instantly r there was a loud report with a shower. of sparks, which drove the men w ho w ere -blocking up the wheels from their work. The swing of the tower caused a succession of sparks and loud reports, which caused -much uneasiness anions the firemen, who hesitated to gel back to work, and thoroughly frightened the several hundred spectators who crowded as closely as possible around the water tower. The burning out of the fuses or the turning off of the current stopped the display of fireworks and there was no further trouble. WATCHMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE. James Dugan Was In the Store When the Flre Ilroke Out. Jame3 Dugan, the night watchman for Brosnan, was sweeping the main floor at the time the fire broke out. He had reached the front part near the door and in looking round saw the flames shooting through the floor in the rear. He said he ran up a short stairs to the wrapping counter and telephoned to fire headquarters to turn in an alarm. When he turned to leave ho was enveloped In flames, lie had to again run

down the narrow stairway. In running to the front door something sharp dropped from - the celling, scraping hla arm "and cutting a deep gash' in the right wrist". He ran, after getting out, to the District Telegraph Company, where" he again called for the fire department. - As to the origin of the fire, Dugan says he cannot account for It. There were two coal furnaces in the cellar, one In the rear and one in the front of the building. There was a fire in the front furnace, which had been used during the day. The rear furnace had not been used. The flames, when Dugan saw them, were coming from the rear of the ttore, and he kr "w no probable reason for its starting there, as there was no flre in that part. Dugan went to the City Dispensary, where his arm was dressed.

WALKED OFF WITH OVERCOAT. A Man Took Advantage of the Flre Excitement. " While the salvage corps men were working In the buildings occupied by the Arcade clothing store "a man walked into the storeand picked up an overcoat. He slipped it on over another overcoat and started from the store to walk leisurelv west on Washington street. While he took the precaution to walk slowly to avoid suspicion, he did not remove the size and price tags from the garment. He passed a crowd of Insurance and newspaper men, who had just emerged from Wasson's store, and one of the party noticed the man with the new overcoat. A fireman caught the fellow and held him until a policeman arrived. One of his friends attempted to draw the overcoat off the man and allow him to go, but the policeman insisted upon arresting him. The lriend said the thief's name was Willis Burk. FOR3IER FIRES. The Building: and 31 r. Rrosnan Seem to De Fated. The building seems to be fated to be destroyed by flre, and It also seems that Mr. Brosnan's business Is similarly-Ill-fated. The building in which he has now burned out wa3 occupied about ten years ago by Y). J. Sullivan, a brother-in-law of Mr. Brosnan.

A Plea for Repose Anions the Activities of Urban Lift. Springfield Republican. Our grandfathers, born In placid solitudes, were reared to tew things more exciting in their youthful days than a greenapple stomach ache. Uut in these times city infants are taken on trolley rides before they reach the age of one, and are Introduced to all the excitement of city streets before the age of four, and by the simple process of experience and observation know at live more ways ef teing exterminated than their great-grandfathers did at fifteen. They know about turning on the gas, chloroforming a cat, getting run over( by a train or a street car. Hough on Rats,' breaking one's neck on a bicycle, being electrocuted by a live wire, being blown up in the street, being cut and smashed in a railroad wreck, falling down an elevator shaft, and all sorts of things that are seen or heard or read about in the papers. Compare this fandango of horrors and excitements, with which city children nowadays become more or loss acquainted at a tender age, simply because of their environment, with the serene, almost bovine, existence which their ancestors in this country enjoyed only two or three generations back, not only in childhood and youth, but even In maturity and old age. Is It remarkable that children In these times have nerves! The few great disasters that take folks utterly unawares sometimes nap a big harvest, but being the most adaptable creature to existence, a city man is all the time adapting himself to his surroundings, and as his surroundings change, he changes with them. He now "looks out for the engine" in a minute more than his remoter ancestors did in a montn, and he does it with ierfcct unconsciousness, for the most part, of the nervous strain upon him. Ami his alertne.-s and watchfulness, greiwn with wie development of the ago, doubtless save him from extermination. But he Is all the time growing more nervous, and his children are growing more nervous. In all th -se respects It would Peem clear that the physical basis of life in cities is much less to be dctlred than uie physical basis of life in regions where greater repose prevails, especially for the rearing of one's kind.
