firemen had by this time seen the flames
and started for the lire. The alarm was
general. , bringing out all save the emer
$ gency departments.
That was at 6:40 In the afternoon. By
the time the department arrived, which
was a brief period,' the Are had made
terrible headway. Chief ' Salter and his
men found themselves confronted by a
4, momentous task.' Starting on the third
i? story the flames had equal chance of
3 spreading to the top and bottom and little
resistance either way, as the contents of
ihe building were, as a whole, highly in-
flammable.
'. " Three other men, besides Welsenberg
ft were In the building and had to be rescued
l before the fight began against the flames.
it One of these, Frank Meriting, made his
fj. own rescue by leaping from a third-story
window onto the roof of the Schllta hotel
adjoining, and 1 Wasrauth and anpther,
A (ail employes of the Midland company),
ft whose name was not learned, were taken
' ut of rear windows by the firemen.
. ' Attack from All Sides.
3 ' Chief Salter began the attack from all
h sides, running ladders up from every dl
V tectlon and pouring streams Into all four
E fides of the building. Seven streams. pene
trated from the alley on tho north. In ad-
J dltlon to the burning building, the Schlltx'
kotel, which adjoined the Nash building
. en the east and was In the most Imminent
J; danger, had to be constantly saturated.
It escaped any damage from lire, but about
, Six fee . of water .filled up In .thev cellar,
causing oome loss.' This was being pumped
put last night. Quests in the hotel had a
, Severe fright.
i J It was about 7 o'clock, Just fifteen mln
"utes before the alarm of the Douglas street'
,tha.t,,pb.let Salter surveyed theit
uatlqn and thought he had. , the flames
' 'whipped. But in an Instant they burst
forth like a hurricane, with redoubled
vigor and seemed to grow fa magnitude
until a little after 8 o'clock,' they showed
a perceptible ettknees. .; :, ..
So;4fparats.had he sltua.tton become by
'7:26 that the chief ordered the tower erect
ed In, front of the. 'building on Harney
street. The big steamer from engine house
No. 3 took . hold .of the machine and sent
a tremendous volpme of, water with, power
ful force Into the building.. But the flames
were tough, and hard to subdue. . It re
quired Incessant activity of the tower. This
exhibition,, was watched and . cheered with
great, enthusiasm by the crowds that lined
and blocked the street and ranged along
the widows and on the roofs of Bennetts
and, other, adjacent buildings. By dint of
the most, skillful maneuvering, the firemen
managed to confine the flames to the thrse
upper stories, not allowing them once to get
below .tjje, third, where they started. Had
they ever reached the basement, "where was
stored all and dry colors, no human effort
could pessibty have aaved ths building from

Pattoa on ths Origin,
C,lty Electrician Patton made a partial
examination of the building about 9:30
o'clock. He Investigated particularly tho
condition of the elevatof motor and sur
roundings on the third Hoot, the Are hav
ing started In this Immediate vicinity. He
said:
"The inspection that I was able to make
tonight does not Justify itie In giving an
opinion as to the origin of the fire. From
what I could see I am Inclined to think
that It was caused by something other
than defective wiring or proper protection
of the motor. I can hardly see how the
fire could have been started by Improper
electrical fittings, as the former city elec
trician had all the wiring torn out and ths
building rewired from top to bottom when
the Midland people moved Into It about
the first of the year. Tomorrow I shall go
Into the matter further and may bring
some hew evidence to. light."
No Estimate on Insarance.

Impossible lar,t night to 'ascertain the

value at 155, (MO. but had no knowledge of
the Insurance. According to the opinion
of Chief Salter damage to" the structure
will not exceed $6,000. The walls are prac
tically , uninjured, but new floor will be

Douglas Street Fire.
At 7:15 o'clock, when the Midland firs
had broken - out afresh and seemed to be
beyond control, a second fire started In
the third story of ths building occupied
by A. Hospe. Companies I and U, under
Assistant Chief Windhelm, were sent to
this and soon had the blaze out. . The dam
age by smoke, and water to the. Hospe
stock Is estimated at $3,600. '
The room adjoining on the east Is occu
pied by the Lilliputian Baxaar, and this
was1 tilled with smoke and soma water
soaked through the brick wall. . The stock
Is valued at $22,000, but how much the
smoke damaged It the management was
unable to say exactly. It waa estimated
at $9,000. .
The' room In which the 1 fire originated
was full of packing and plunder and It was
In this that the Are originated. It spread
rapidly' and by the time , the department
arrived the smoke, completely filled the
room. Two stream's were turned on the
blase and It was extinguished with only
nominal damage to the building.
The second floor, of the Hospe side of ths
building was, full of pianos and paintings.
Though only two streams were turned on
the fire, much of the water ran through
the floor to the second. This occasioned
the heavy loss on the stock.

MARE MARTYR OUT OF MILES
OrderBetiring Him From ths Armj o(
Moit Formal ObaracUr.
NO COMMENDATIONS OF HIS CAREER
Intended to Bhow Disapproval of
tho Administration of His.
Coarse Daring Hecent
Veers.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. g (Special Tele
gram.) Leading newspapers throughout
the country will tomorrow discuss the msn
ner In which Lieutenant General Miles has
been disposed of by the administration.
There will be criticism of the War depart
ment's course and for some little while
General Miles may' possibly be' regarded
as a martyr. The order retiring General
Miles was purely perfunctory and there Is
good ground for such an order. But when
President Cleveland took' leave of General
Scofleld, who preceded General Miles as
head of the army, It was with such a
graceful phrase and high appreciation of
the general's joldlerly characteristics that
he called the attention of the nation to
the -change In generals. Although Wood
was not retired he received high praise
when he rellnqclshed command of Cuba.
Shatter and Otis when they relinquished
command came in for many bouquets.
The reason why Miles was not eulogized
Is known to every, regular army officer.
It was because the president and Secre
tary Root did not think his course since
the beginning of the Spanish war entitled
him to oommendatlon. When Miles In
Porto Rico made public all correspondence
between himself and General Alger, now
senator from Michigan, no attention was
paid to It. His vicious attacks on the War
Department, resulting in the beef Investi
gation, brought great annoyance to the la
mented McKlnley's administration. Army
officers believed that a much more effective
way could have been taken on the part
of the lieutenant general to put a , stop
to wrongs than to try the whole subjoct In
the public prints. The groups were there
upon formed In the War Department
Miles and antl-Mlles and as the antl
Mlles group has been the highest In favor
Miles left the regular establishment today
without a 'word of eulogy from Secretary
Root or from the president.
President Roosevelt Is no truckler. He
has the courage of his convictions, and,
believing that General Miles had committed
most grievous wrong against the army
In trying his case before the public, withheld
from him even praise, due him for his part
in the civil and Indian wars. The wave
of sympathy which has already started
may make General Miles commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
but the great majority of those who wore
the blue will not believe that Theodore
Roosevelt has willfully withheld praise
from any soldier unless there was suffi
cient reason for suoh an act.
Work on Army Posts.
Quartermaster General Humphrey, since
his assumption of the construction depart
ment of the army, has taken an active
interest In reviewing work now going on
at tho various military posts throughout
the United States. By his direction a syn
opsis of the work under progress has been
prepared for the use of The Bee, showing
ths present conditions as to building ana
equipment- of military posts adjacent to
Omaha. Beyond Instructions having been
given to Invite proposals for an addition
to the hospital at Fort Robinson, there is
no' further record of any construction work
In progress at ; any of the army posts in
the Antelope state. At Fort Des Moines,
however, In Iowa, -the utmost actlvtty Is
shown, contrasts' having been let for all
kinds of barracks,' stables, hay sheds,
granaries, subsistence and quartermaster's
storehouses, and such other buildings as
are needed to equip this new post of the
Department of the Missouri. Many of
these quarters are nearly completed, while
the reat are to be finished before the end
of the year, as already those In authority
In Washington, directing the movement
of troops, are speculating as to which one
of the cavalry regiments will be assigned
to occupancy of this post.
At Fort Meado one double barrack is un

Englishmen to Catch Their
- Breath.
(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Aug. .-(New York World Ca-
Megram Special ' Telegram.) "Morganeer
lng," only lately a frightful bogey to
Englishmen, has become a gibe. It Is a
long time since any event has caused such
universal gratification throughout England
as the depreciation J. Pierpont Morgan's
prestige has undergone as a result of the
current trust troubles.
Mr. Morgan had become a veritable bug
bear to Englishmen. It was feared that
the International Shipping trust was only
an Introduction to schemes fof controlling
Great Britain's chief Industries. Their self
respect was. touched, too, by the sugges
tion underlying Mr. Morgan's plans that
he was setting about teaching them how
really to utilise their Industrial oppor
tunities.
Although by all rules of finance the Ship
trust was known to be grossly over-capitalized,
still Mr... Morgan had succeeded In
creating such a scare It was believed that
by some mysterious agency of his own he
would be able to reverse arithmetical laws
and make It a paying concern, ultimately
getting oontqol of the entire British ship
ping trade.
It is a common thing now to sum up
Morgan by saying that he Is "only a
Hooley on a big scale." In olty circles it
would be Impossible for him to carry out
any big scheme, the distrust of his meth
ods is so profound.
