NASHVILLE , Tcnn. , Oct. 5. A special to
the Banner from Clarksyllle , Tenn. , says :
Ono of the most destructive fires hero In
yisars ' , occurred this , niorninp , burning
the' Grange tobacco warehouse , the Louis
ville & Nashvlllo depot , Gracey's storage
warehouse and many tenement houses. The
loss Is over half o million dollars. It Is
believed to he the work of Incendiaries.
It started In the Grange warehouse and In
a few minutes the entire building was A
mass of flames. It spread to the freight
depot and Gracey's coal shed , the flames
covering about five acres at ono time. The
Grange warehouse 'contained about -1,500
hogsheads of tobacco and Is a total loss.
This tobacco belonged to Turnloy & GUI ,
the Atlantic Snuff company and M. H. Clark
& Brother principally and n number ot
hogsheads were owned by other tobacconists.
The loss on the tobacco alone In this warehouse -
house Is estimated ot about $500,000 , with
about $300,000 Insurance.
The main building at the Louisville &
Nashville depot was valued at $6,000. There *
was an annex to each end , valued at $2,000 i
each , but only ono of these burned. Thorn ,
was comparatively little freight In the de-
pot. Ono of the annexes was filled with
tobacco , but this was saved. The Grange
warehouse was the largest tobacco ware
house In the world nnd had a floor space t
covering o\c-r five acres. It was compara .
tively new and was occupied by several i
films. Two floors were used by Turnley &
Gill and two others were occupied as a
storage warehouse by Stewart & Ralph ,
branch of the Atlantic Snuff company. These
two floors were filled with tobacco. It Is
estimated t'hat thcro were 2,000 hogsheads
In that portion of the house occupied by
the Atlantic Snuff company. The warehouse
was built at a cost of $ C.,000 nnd was only
partially covered by Insurance.

WOOSTEIl , 0. , Oct. 5. The republicans of
'
this ( Wayne ) county opened the fall cam-
palgn hero today , Senator Joseph U. I-'oraker
being the principal speaker. Ills aJdresa
i was freaucntly Interrupted by the applause
'
from the large audience present.
I Senator Koraker opened with an eulogy
ot Governor Huahncll and a review of his
administration in Ohio , following with u.
like tribute to 1'rcstdcnt McKlnley , with a
review of his national administration , de
voting most of his speech to the war with
Spain , and the problems which followed It
In spcakng | of the Monroe doctrine , ho
lovlewcd the oppression In Cuba , during
President Grant's administration nnd held
that the cause of humanity then called for
assistance. He pictured Spanish tyranny 'in
the West Indies most graphically until he
reached the period of Weylerlsm , when ho
was as fierce In his utterances as tho'formcr
captain general was In his drueltles. The
senator stated that after 200,000 lives had
been lost through reconcentratlon and other
oppressions , that the cause of hurnailtty
called loudly for Interference. Congress
waited until the president exhausted every
effort In diplomacy.
After reviewing the struggles ot the In
surgents , the senator detailed the Incidents
that led to the American congress declaring
war against Spain and took radical issue
with those who opposed that action , In
cluding cx-Sccretary Sherman , who recently
In an Interview said : "Tho entire responsi
bility for the war with Spain rests upon
the shoulders of congress. It was congress
that declared war and delivered to Spain an
Insulting and exasperating proclamation.
It was not necessary for us to go to wai'
with Spain. I could have arranged a treaty
by which Spain would have peacefully re
tired from the Island of Cuba. Spain was in
dire need of money at that time and I be
lieve that for less than' $100,000,000 she
would have called her soldiers home anfl
given to the Cubans such a system of
autonomy as would have rendered them
radically Independent. "
Hiitltlcil to Iiiileiirmlunco.
Senator Foraker proceeded :
Other distinguished statesmen of our party
spoke to the same effect. One said the war
was not onlv unnecessary , but the work of
sollow journals , demagogues and politicians.
It la scarcely necessary now to say that the
action of congress was not premature , or
inappropriate , but fully warranted. I had
no patience with the ptoposition that Spain
should receive compensation for her evacua
tion of the countrj1 she had misgoverned for
centuries and desuolled and desolated.
There has been much said roqpntly about
Incompetcncy and mismanagement on ac
count of which our trcoos uavo suffered
severely. No doubt there have been some
mistakes , it would have been remarkable
if there had not been , but a full JrivesHtta-
tlon will vindicate the zeal and patriotism ,
the courage and the Integrity of all .v/hb
have boon assailed. All have onlv tears for
the dead and those who have been stricken
with disease nnd overtaken with affliction.
These are the Inseparable features of all
wars , and notwithstanding all that may have
occurred of this chatacter. the fact remains
that the rectrd of the .three months durlntc
v.hlch that war continued Is the moat bril
liant chapter In American .history , It has
scarcely an equal uln' the rinfials of flip
woild. Almost before we reallzcd UiaJ we
wereat war . $ pan | was suingforf."peace. .
Two of her navies..had been completely dor
strrfycd nnd ono of her largest armies had
been defeated and compelled to surrender.
Hnllilril Winer Tlinit We Knew.
In this war wo have bullded wiser than
wo knew. Our fathers of the revolution < lid
not take uo arms for independence , but only
resistance of tyranny. Events broadened
their purpose. Lincoln called for troops'to
save the union , but events broadened
purpose , nnd slavery was abolished.-
initial action had reference only to tiuba ,
but Spain reckoned for war generally , and
thus widened the Held -So as to Include
I'orto Itlco nnd the Philippines , and thus
wo have greater prestige , free Cuba nnd
territorial acquisitions ot Incalculable Im
portance. We have also learned some lessons ,
Wo have learned thnt It Is not
wise to be wholly or partially unprp-
pared for war. It is u wise maxim still
that In time of peace wo should prepare for
war. at least to the extent of maintaining
on army and a navy commensurate with out *
wealth and population and interests , and In
this connection we have learned that we
cannot depend upon great wealth or great
population or zealous patriotism alone 'or
our national defense. It was our good for
tune ih.it the long peace since our civil wai1
was interrupted by trouble with Spain rather
than with England or some other great
power able to strike at once. We have
learned the necessity for coast defenses , a
good navy and a good army , both adequate
In numbers as well as quality. Wo have
learned another thing , and that Is that the
j Nicaragua canal Is essential not only to
1 commerce , but also to our elllclent defense.
To reach the bceno of action the Oregon
was required to sail 10,000 miles farther
than would have been necessary If It could
have crossed the Isthmus , ami now with
the Iowa as a consort It has started to re
turn to the PaclPf and it Is estimated that
it will require throe months to pa.u from our
eastern to our western coast and reach their
of ilie Hour.
The great questions of the hour are whal
shall wo do for Cuba ? What shall wo do
' with Porto Ulco ? What particularly with
the Philippines ? So far na Cuba Is con
corned there should be no question what
ever. Tha Cubans have earned their Inde
pendence. Wo have solemnly declared not
only that they are frco and Independent
but also that they' shall have a government
of their own choos-lng. We must keep our
promise and we will. Hut this promise 01
Independence to Cuba dues not apply to
Porto Klco or to the Philippines. Wo tcok
these Islands by the conquest of war , and
they are ours. I do not know what the
treaty of peace how being prepared In Paris
will provide , hut I sincerely hope it wil
give to the United States not simply a coalIng -
, Ing station or a slnhle Island , hut the whole
i group of Philippine tslandp.Umler our pro-
I tectlon and since they have Intelligence am
i prosperity , we can feel euro of regaining
' our share ot the trade of China and Japan
The possibilities with China are far greater
All the nations are struggling for their share
of the trade to be developed when China
has been openeu up to communication and
commerce with iho world. The United
States must have her full fair share lu
trade.

the prisoner , whoso name Is Miller , entered
the police station with hla bondsman. Ho
was Introduced to the city projiiculor and the
latter wa.i told that he Avas looked upon as
a criminal. The city prosecutor In a joking
way said that It was not possible that any
one who lore the name of Miller could bo

the city prosecutor Ihnt ho was not ready

An opportunity will bo given by Judge
Scott to Attorney Yclser to recover himself
In the direct ipglshMon mnt'tcr by tiling an
aTcnded petlll n. The judge sold he favored
the Initiative nnd referendum and the early
submission of the proposition to the people ,
but It had to bo done according to law.
As It appeared there are only two methods
by which It can bo submitted to the voters ,
one at "an annual election , " and the other
at a special election. Judge Scott could not
consider the stat'e general election as being
In lieu of the "annual election" contem
plated by the law , BO he gave Mr. Yelser an
other day to amend his petition so as to
ask for a peremptory writ of mandamus
to compel the city clerk to submit ) the ques
tion at a special election.
Under the statutes there is no way by
which the city clerk could have the matter
printed on t'ho state ballots with any au
thority. City Attorney Conncll made his
point again that the direct legislation mat
ter is still in the hands of a committee of
the- city council and that , under the city
charter , the committee Is allowed thirty days
In which to make Its report. The thirty days
have not yet expired.
Yclser hr.s two petitions , ono with 3,104
signatures for Vhe submission of the propo
sition at the general election In November ,
and the other with 2,800 signatures asking
for Its submission at a special election.
Judge Scott Intimated that ho would hold
t'hat ' a special election could bo held simul
taneously with the general election nnd thus
gut around the oblectlons raised by the city
at oiney on this point. Ho will , however. In
sist that the law be compiled wlrh In every
other respect.
