A flr, believed to hare been canaed by spontaneous com bustion or a locomotlre epark, and fan ned by a brisk northwest wind, swept nearly a quarter of a mile of the bar bor front of Kat Boston, oauslnjr a property loss estimated at nearly $1. 5OO.00O.

The tire was the biggest .and most destructive that has broken out alon: the harbor front for many yenrs; i The flames spread with -"remarkable 'rapid ity, and by the time the first Are fifrltt-i. in? apparatus arrived on the scene they were heyend control and Icapin fro.n pier to p!er. Within half-an hour of the time the fire was discovered four piers, three warehouses, a jrr:i:n eleva tor containing SfM-OO bushels of gr.ir.i. any many m-aded freight cars lnul l-oe.i destroyed. Had to Husllenn the Ships. Several vessels and lighters narrow ly escaped destruction. The bijr l.ey land line steamer Devonian, which iir rived Tuesday from Liverpool, wn moored at one of the piers which was destroyed. The discipline on the De vonian was so excellent, however, that she was warped out Into the stream without even having a square inch of paint blistered. Less fortunate wen the British bark Belmont, of Yar mouth. N. S., and the schooners Paul Palmer, a five masted craft, and the C. II. Brown, a four-master. The Bel mont was moored by steel ab!es to th pier where the fire started. So quick ly did the flames envelop the wharf and warehouse that it was impossible to slip the cables from the mooring posts, and it was necessary to resort tu the tedious process of cutting a half dozen or more of the great wire ropes. Belmont Is Badly Scorched. By the time the Belmont was gotten out into the stream the paint had been burned off her steel hull, her cabin had been practically destrojed, her life boats charred and ruined and her spars, sails and rigging so badly burned as to make a complete new equipment neces sary. The Palmer escaped with slight damage to her foretopsail and fore rig ging, while the rigging, sails and spars on the forward part of the Brown wer. badly charred. The fire was checked by the fireboats, harbor tugs, and prac tically the entire strength of the Bos ton and Chelsea fire departments. Several times the pier and the coal pockets were on fire, but the property was saved. The Boston and Albany railroad loses $1,000,000 of the tola loss.

MATTER REACHES TAFT LATE Referred to the President aa InYolfing Matter of Policy. Tatt' Laat Official Act Wi to foln( Waa Out That the Purohi ltleirat Purchaaea Af e ScipoX Oyster Bay, N. Y.t July 9. An ofll clal statement, on the subject of pur chases of British made khaki cloth in the Philippines haa been supplied at the executive offices here. . It follows: "The contracts for the purchase of uni forms of soldiers in the army are made "by the quartermaster general with the approval and under the supervision of the assistant-secretary of war. They are not brought to the nttCHtion of the secretary of. war. i The major general in command of the army In the Philip pines, in a letter to the department last winter, recommended that the khaki uniforms for the army be lnnight in Manilla because the English khaki, which could there be had, was more loosely woven, better suited to the tropics, and was cheaper, and the mak ing was better. Tat't Unaware of , the Order. "Acting oh this recommendation, and In Secretary's Taft's absence and with out consulting him, the assistant sec retary while acting as head of the de partment made an order that contracts for the purchase and making of khaki uniforms for the army in the Philip pines be made in Manila. Secretary Taft had no knowledge of this order, and it was not brought to his attention until the day before he left ofiice, June 30, when he received complaints of it froni home manufacturers of khaki. In view of the imminent change of secre taries he concluded that it was an im portant matter of policy which should Ik? submitted to the president for final action. . What He. Wrote the President. "Accordingly, one of his last official acts was to write to the president and state the facts, to point out that the order was made contrary to the course prescribed by congress in respect to the purchase of supplies for the coni struction of the Panama canal, and to recommend to the president that the order be made by the assistant secre tary as acting secretary be rescinded as to future purchases; It was too late to take action as to the purchase al ready made. Order Has Been Rescinded. "lie suggested that the only respect in -which the order could be justified was in Its application to the uniforms of the Philippine scouts, a small and purely local organization whose bodily sixes and shapes were so different from United States soldiers that it was dif ficult to fit them save by local manu facture. The president, who, of course knew nothing of the matter until it was thus brought to his attention, fol lowed Secretary Taft's recommenda tion and directed the order to be re scinded as to all future purchases."
