Burns Four Hours and Is Fought With Difficulty. Indianapolis, Feb. For four hours Sunday night the wholesale district bounded by Georgia and Meridan streets, Jackson Place and the Union depot sheds was menaced by a fire, which started in the wholesale warerooms of the Fahnley McCrea Millinery Company. At 9:30 o'clock three general alarms brought into action every department in the city and suburbs. When the fire was brought under control eight buildings, among which were three hotele.

had been completely destroyed, causing a loss estimated at $1,500,000. One fireman was hurt by falling walls. Fire brands as large as hen eggs fell in a perfect storm over the business portion of the city and on every building were stationed companies of men equipped with fire apparatus, and their united effort succeeded in preventing a general conflagration. The fire, which was one of the most spectacular in the history of the city, was under full headway before an alarm was sounded. The occapants of the hotels, many of whom had not retired, escaped without injury.

Repeated explosions in the burning section sent skyward a veritable storm of burning embers. which, fanned by a stiff breeze from the southeast, were carried into the retail districts. where they fell, still burning, upon the roofs of the principal houses.

Geo. A. Harrison. 40-t1 STATEHOOD. The Status of Affairs as a Corres- pondent Sees It.

Washington, Feb. question of the submission of the statehood bill to the conference came before the senate Monday. Mr. Gorman took a prominent part. When he does this it means that politics is rife.

He talked and talked until the hour for 'the Swayne case came on, and then, of course, everything was at an end. In the press gallery the conclusion was that the side he represented which was antagonistic to the house bill introduc ing New Mexico and Arizona as one state, had its case thoroughly in hand. I.n other words, ic is apparent that Mr. Beveridge can not pass, even with a conference report, the bill as it passed the house providing for two states. It is the general impression here that the democrats, with the aid of Mr.

Foraker and other republicans, will either make Mr. Beveridge and his republican friends abandon the fight or make him compromise by making a state of Oklahoma and Indian Territory and leaving Arizona and New Mexico for future consideration. And from what I hear and see, I think the whole matter will wind up with Okla homa and Indian Territory being made a state and the other two territories left as they are. But this is only an individual view, and hence should not be relied on. Statehood and Indians.

Indian Agent Shoenfelt, when asked what effect statehood would have on the business and authority of the Union Indian agency, said: "It would make no appreciable difference in the relations of the Indian agent to the Indian, unless with statehood comes the removal of restrictions on the sale of Indian lands. If restrictions are removed the land sales department of the agency will be put out of business and the leasing department reduced. Statehood, however, even with the right conferred upon the Indian to sell his surplus land at will, will not abolish the control of the Indian agency through the Indian agency through the interior department over the homesteads of the citizens of the five civilized tribes."

Clark, Drug Co. and Mason Drug Co. BILL CHANGED United States Court Towns Are Stricken Out. Washington. Feb.

21. -During the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill Monday Senator Stone objected to the provision in the bill creating additional court towns and recording districts in the Indian Territory He based his objection to these provisions on the ground that courts were not needed in the first instance. In second instance that a movement in many of these towns for court facilities had been started by outside parties actuated solely by personal gain. Upon his motion all of the towns were stricken out. It seems probable that all of: the places named in the statehood bill for holding terms of United States district court in the eastern district except Muskogee, I.

will be stricken off the bill upon same groands. This will mean that South McAlester, Ard more. Chickasha and Tals: in Indian Territory and Enid in Oklahoma will not be made places for holding of terms of United States court as provided for in the senate bill. Mrs. Sheppard 111.
