A9 Grain Elevator and a Dozen \Voodol Buildings Destroyed—Two Firemen Injured—Loss, 8800,9000. BUFFALO, Aug. 16. —The Coatsworth ele-' vator, situated on Michigan and Ganson streets, having a capacity of 1,200,000 bush- is and valued at $750 000, was totally de- stroyed by fire this morning. About a dozen frame structures, mostly Saloons and dwellings, were also burned. Two firemen, Charles Wagner and Captain Gordon of engine 9, were overcome by the heat and removed: t9 a hospital. The elevator was One of the largest' 1n the city, but had not been used much this season, considerable repairs and improve- ments being made' 1n it. Until a few days ago there was no grain stored there and at the time of the fire it did not contain more than 20 .0009busliels. The fire started shortly after 3 o’clock in the tower, and the flames being out- of reach of the file men, spread unchecked to every part of the roof and then worked their way on- ward. The heat was intense and little could be done to stay the progress of the fire, the firemen and firetug’s devoting themselves to saving the .‘adjacent proper- ty. The Kellogg elevatOr and a big lumber yard were on fire several times, b11t the flames were extinguished before gaining any great headway. At 4: 30 o’clock the elevator building fell in, and the sheet of flame being thus low- ered and fanned by a high wind jumped to a row of 17 small frame buildings on the west side of Michigan street, about a dozen of which were destroyed. The loss on these is about $25 000. The tot-al loss is esti- mated at $800, 000 and is fairly well covered by insurance. The Fulton transfer tower, about 100 rods from the scene of the big fire, caught ' from a spark and was totally destroyed. This tower had not been used for more than 20 years and was in a very rickety condition. MINISTER BLOUNT HOME. _ He Arrives In San Francisco From Hawaii on the Steamer Gaelic.

Her escort and another lady were modestly lingering in ‘2. .1 rear with the “Falls of Niagara.” P14 ently they edged around to the former pic ture. The studious first gazer never stirred. “How can you spend so much time ever this wicked picture?” inquired the female newcomer. 4 “Which is Belshazzar?” was the an- swering query. The figure of the profiigate king was pointed out to her as “him there up on the big throne.” “SO that’s the man who ate grass, is it?” said she inquiringly. “Probably only took grassin his whis- ky, ” suggested the male escort. “Wasn’t it Nebuchadnezzar who was an old gentleman who overheard the conversation. old gentleman, ‘with a Wanamaker coun- tenance.

Annie" Thomas is the only woman in Kamania county. _ She is a squatter and lives in Rattlesnake hills. There has of late been a great strife for her hand in marriage among the rough settlers of that region. Hank Monley and. Jerry favor, and so it was finally agreed that these two men should settle the ques- tion between them by a. duel with bowie knives. After a desperate fight, inwhich both were wounded, the battle was de- clared a draw. It was then agreed that the matrimonial question should be set- tled by a game of seven up. The fortune of cards favored Monley, and he was de- clared the winner of the squatter bride. A person was called in to assure him his prize. The fickle Annie had along talk with the person, and though she had never seen him before she at last announced her intention of marrying the person himself and not Monley. In vain did the hero of the bowie knife duel and the vic- tor in the game of seven up object to this proceeding. The woman was firm in her intention, and the upshot was that the parson got the woman. eSpokane Cor. Chicago Tribune. Sentenced to Kiss His'E‘Vife. NEWARK, N. J ., Aug. 16.—J. A.

Pelagic Sealing Is Allowed by the Decision Outside the Protected Zone ~Eli-om Aug. l—The Ainerioan Arbitrators Express Satisfaction With the Finding of the '11:- 9 ternational Tribunal and Say the Terms 9Ar_e Better Than Those Offered by Great Britain—The Decision In Washington and In the House of Commons. PARIS, Aug: 16.—The decision— of the Behring sea tribunal 'of arbitration was handed down today. The five points of article6 are decided against the United States. A close. season is established, to begin ,May 1 and to continue until July 31. This, close season shall be observed both in the north Pacific ocean and in Behring sea. ' A protected zone is established extending for 60miles around the islands. Pelagic scaling is allowed outside the acne in Behring sea from Aug. 1. , The use of firearms in sealing is prohib- ited. BarOn de Courcel, after the decision out rendered, thanked the arbitrators for the close and intelligent attention'they had brought to bear upon the case. Lord Hannen and Senator Morgan, in . replying to the president of the tribunal, acknowl- edged his courtesy and hospitality. The American arbitrators believe that the regulations decided upon by the tribu- nal mean practically the end of pelagic sealing, and that they are better terms than were heretofore offered to the United States by Great Britain as a settlementpoi the questions in volved. The Arbitration Treaty. The treaty under which the tribunal oi arbitration was appointed recites that the governments of the United- States and Great Britain being desirous to provide for an amicablesettlement of the questions which had arisen bet ween them concom- ing the jurisdictional rights of the United States in the waters of Behring sea, and concerning also the preservation of the fur seal in or habitually resorting to the said sea and the rights Of the citizens and sub jects of either country as regards the tak - ing of fur seals, agree to submit the ques. tions to a tribunal of arbitration to be composed of seven arbitrators—two named by Great Britain, two by the United States, one by France, one by Italy and one by Sweden and Norway. The arbitrators se- lected were: By the United States—Justice John M. Har- lan and Senator John T. Morgan. :5 By Great Britain— LOrd Hannen and Sir John S. D. Thompson. =By France—Baron de Courcel, who was sub- sequently chosen president of the tribunal. By Italy-Marquis Emilio Viscontl-Venosta. By Sweden and N orway—J udge Gram. Articles 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the treaty pro- vided for the meeting place of the arbitra- tors and for other matters in regard to pro- cedure, etc. Article 6 was worded as «fol- lows: ~ . In deciding the matters submitted to the ' arbitrators, it is agreed that the following five points shall be submitted to them, in order that their award shall embrace a distinct decision upon each of said five points, to wit: First—What exclusive jurisdiction in the sea .. known now as the Behring sea, and What ex; elusive rights in the seal fisheries therein, did- Russia assert and exercise prior and up to the. time of the cession of Alaska to the United States? Second—How for were these claims of juris- diction as to the seal fisheries recognized and conceded by Great Britain? Third—“res the body of water now known as the Behring sea. included in the phrase "Pacific ocean,” as used in the treaty of 1825 between Great Britain and Russia, and what rights, ii, any, in the Behring sea were held and exclu- sively exercised by Russia after said treaty? Fourth—Did not all therights of Russia as to jurisdiction and as to the seal fisheries in Behr-' ing sea ‘east of the water boundary in the treaty between the United States and Russia of March 30, 1867, pass unimpaired 'to the United States under the treaty? Fifth—Has the United States any right. and if so, what right, of protection or property in the fur seals frequenting the islands in the United States in Behring sea when such seal! are found outside the ordinary three mile limitl ' The Decision Final. Article 8 referred to the liability of each gOVernment for the injuries alleged to have been sustained by the other or it! citizens in connection with the claims pre- sented and urged by it. Article 9 provides for the appointment of four commissioners—two American and two British—to examine into and report on the question of damages. Articles 10,11,12 and 18 relate to the pay- ment of the expenses of the tribunal, and to the time in which a decision shallbe rendered. Article 14 reads as follows: "The high contracting parties engage to consider the result of the proceedings of the tribunal of arbitration as a full, perfect and final settlement of all the questions referred to the arbitrators.” Article 15 relates to the ratification of the treaty. Aside from the arbitrators the personnel of. the tribunal was as follows: The Hon. John W. Foster, formerly American secrev tary of the treasury, American agent, and the Hon. C. H. Tupper, Canadian minister' of marine, British. agent; E. J. Phelps, James 0. Carter, Henry W. Blodgctt, F. R. Coudert and Robert Lansing, counsel for the United States, and Sir Charles Rus- sell, Sir Richard Webster, the Hon. W. H. Cross and C. Robinson, counsel for Great Britain; Major Elijah W. Haliord, Wil- liam Williams and Hubbard T. Smith, American attaches, and Arthur Cunning hams, Ashley Froude, John C. Pope and R. P. Maxwell, British attaches. 'GRESHAM GETS 'THE' DECISION. The Secretary or state Admits That It In ‘ Against the United States. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. —The secretary of" state has received cable advices from Paris which in general terms confirm the United Press reportthat the decision of the arbitration tribunal on all points involv‘ ing exclusive jurisdiction over Behring sea has been rendered against the United That is to say, the tribunal has Advertise“ 9111 the (harm on‘ the seal fisheries therein prior to the cos-don I of Alaska to the United States. 2.5,, Second—That consequently Great Britain ' never conceded any such lights to Buster?“ ' Third—That Behring sea w as not included in 1825 between Great Britain and Russia; and fisheries therein passed to the United States with Al‘l'iska under the treaty of 1867. of- the five points submitted to arbitration by article 6 of the treaty that the con- cessions as to a close season, a 60 milepro- tected zone and the prohibition of the use of firearms apply. This fifth point was in argument by the United States counsel It' raised the question whether the United States had any Tights of protection on property in the fur seals frequenting the islands of Behring sea outside, the three mile limit. _ The preliminary abstract 'of the‘decision received is regarded here as implying that the tribunal to a certain extent has con- ceded us this right, only in future seal life will be protected by virtue of an intern!» award of arbitration and not solely by au- thority of a United States statute. . Secretary Gresham is averse tocomment- ing extensively upon the decision, but as- suming that the information received at the state department is correct he does not hesitate to admit that the decision of the commission is against the, principal claims set up' by the United States. The full text of the award is anxiously Waited. , _“I am disappointed about this decisiOn." said Senator Frye, “for I believed the court would hold that we had a propertyright in the seals. It raises a very serious ques— tion as to liability for past action which I am not now prepared to discuss. or course, so far as the decision goes in the direction of protecting the seals, I am gratified, though I do Not think it goes far enough. I do not think pelagic sealing should be permitted at all. Looking at the whole subject, 1I am inclined to think that the sealeries of Alaska are about destroyed already.” ' pected the case to be decided against the United States. "Anything that has been secured to us out of the contention," he 9 said, “is therefore so much gain.” THE COMMONS HEARS IT.

The paper “adds that as a natural result the Canadian sealers due compensation for seizures illegally made. . The regulations providing for a close season are very stringent. The prescription of firearms may-be found to’be a serious disadvantage by Canadian sealers. Georgia’s Yellow Fever Scare. SAVANNAH, Aug. 16.—There are no new developments here as to yellow fever.
