Block in Wholesale Section of the City Destroyed, LOSS HALF MILLION DOLLARS- Insurance Amounted to $450,000 Orißin of the Fire Unknown. Firemen Handicapped. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21. —Fire to day destroyed almost an entire block in the wholesale district of Atlanta, entailing a loss of a half million dollars, on which there is insurance amounting to nearly $150,000. The burned area is bounded by Railroad avenue and Loyd, Decatur and Collins streets. The principal iosers are: J. J. J. E. Maddox, wholesale grocers, $125,000; Grambling & Spaulding Shoe Company, $70,000; Draper- Coggan Shoe Company, $70,000; Arnold Hat Company, $40,000; R. N, Fickett Paper Company, $40,- 000: McConnell & Christopher,dry goods, $25,000; Dinkins & David son, hardware, $15,000. The fire started at 5:45 a. in., from an unknown cause, in the Maddox store, and was suddenly spread to all parts of the building by a tremendous explosion, pre sumably of oil and syrup. The flames, fanned by a high wind,soon spread to adjoining buildings and were beyond control of the depart ment fifteen minutes after the en tire fighting force had been brought to the scene. The firemen were hampered by insufficient water pressure, and were kept away from the buildings by frequent explosions of kerosene, molasses and powder in the differ ent establishments. The explos ions sent burning rafters in every direction and perceptibly weakened the fire walls in the big block.erec ted only four years ago. It was noon before the flames were brought under control and the firemen did not leave the "cene until tonght. Three houses on Collins street — the Tenderloin district —with their costly furnishings were complete ly destroyed and the inmates driyen out scantily dressed into a tempera ture of i6 degrees, the coldest morning of the winter. Early trains on the Washington branch of the Southern railway were compelled to stop several blocks from the Union depot, a£ were also the trains of the Geor gia railroad, the firemen having run several lines of hose across the tracks. Outgoing trains were sent around by the Belt line, causing a delay of about an hour. The night watchman in the Mad dox building left his post at 5 a. m., one hour earlier than custom arv. having the permission, he claims, of cne of the firm. WAR FOR YEARS- That is the Opinion of an Army Of ficer of Rank There was never a short session of congress but that along about the last of January there was con siderable talk about the necessity for an extra session of congress, says a Washington dispatch. As a general rule this talk rarely ma terializes in an extra session, but it goes on all the same. It is true that there can be no legislation at this session of congress upon the Philiippine problem, but whether as a matter of fact ativ legislation for these islands is necessary at this time has not clearly developed. The policy of the administration, so far as governing our new posses sions is concerned, has; been made known. The war is to go on in the Philidpines until the authority of the United States government is recognized and Aguinaldo and his followers are thrashed. How long this will take is a serious question, and a great loss of life and a vast expenduie of money may yet be re quired before the insurgents are Drought to terms. The government finds that it is no easy task to sub due a population of ovei nine mil lion people scattered over such a large territory. The Isle of Luzon is alone about as large as the state of Georgia, to say nothing oi the other many hun dred islands in that far away coun try. An army officer of rank and experience expressed to tne corres pondent last night his opinion that the next administration would go out of power with the conflict still progressing in the Philippines. The largest number of the Uniied States troops at any one time has been 58,000, and the officer says that in his opinion it will take an army of 200.000 men, well distrib uted, and under the con;r H of able and sagacious officers o o - tain undisputed control 01 .he Hfouuu Women The entry into womanhood is a critical time for a girl.

He al-so says that the most formidable obstuction to our army there and the most alarming menace to our troops is the conta gion of any natural disease of the islands, lie states that army sur geons tell,him there is not one man in a hundred who can spend irom three months to a year in the is lands and return to the states as well a man as before he went; that he is almost sure to contract stomach troubles; that in nine cases out of ten it becomes chronic, and that his system is ever after ward in such a depleted condition that he is susceptible to any disease prevalent. To Prevent Forest Fires- A correspondent of The Bedford Inquirer, "an old mountaineer,” makes the following novel proposi tions for the prevention of destru:- tive forest fires: First compel all owners of wood land under heavy penalty to clear their woods of all leaves and small underbrush by burning the same or otherwise removing at such times as the owners may select dur ing the months of November. De cember and January, holding them responsible for any damage done to the property of others, so that proper care and judgment may be used. Of course, the first clearing of mountain and other timber land on which there may be an accum ulation of leaves and brush (the product of many years) will be at tended with some expense and great care; but when once cleaned nearly all care, expense and trou ble will end in case all owners of woodland each and every year be compelled under heavy penalty during the aforesaid mont s to burn all the leaves which may have fallen from the season’s growth. If this bed me there can be no for est fires during the nine succeed ing month •>; there will be nothing to burn. When fires occur in the spring and summer time the nests of wild turkeys, pheasants, quail and other birds are destroved, and often the birds, too, as well as young squir rels, rabbits and other game. After the forests and groves are once cleared of all leaves and small underbrush the cod each year of burning the leaves of one season’s growth will hardly ex eed the cost of a box of matches. Fuithermore, if done properly there <an be no harm done to any young growth, as farmers know Irom experience that burning stub' le off a field will not kill the roots of the grass. The ashes of ihe leaves, being left on the ground, will prove a goo! fer tilizer, and more than enough unin jured acorns and nuts will be left to take root, where it is impossible if there be a heavy carpet of leaves. Fall fires, simply from the flash of a coating of one season's leaves, will be so light that birds and game of all kinds will scarcely be fright ened, and in the months named there are no young birds and nests and no helpless animals. Nuts, too of all kinds could easily be seen and gathered when wanted. Let us learn wisdom from the Indians and the hunters of a hun dred years ago. When the leaves were burned each fall in West Vir ginia and Maryland the ridges were covered with a dense growth of blue grais affording pasture for deer and cattle. This annual fall burning bad much to do in produc ing the smoky atmosphere which was called ‘‘lndian summer.” A STEAMER Sores of Lives Were Lost in Gol den Gate- MAIL STEAMER RAN ON ROCK- Consul General Wildman and Fam ily Thought to Have Been Drown ed in the Wreck. San Francisco, Feb. 22.—-The Pacific Mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro ran on a hidden rock while entering the Golden Gate early this morning in a duise fog and sank in a few inmates. 1; isthought that 122 persons were diowned, most of whom were Chinese and Japanese, but it is impossible to as certain the exact number owing to the fact that Purser John Rooney, who had the passenger list and ros ter of the crew, is among the miss ing. At sp. in,, ten bodies had been recovered, two white women, one white man and seven Chinese. The most prominent passenger Was Routiseville Wildman,United States consul at Hong Kong, who was accompanied by his wife and two children. It is thought all were drowned. The ship was in com mand of Pilot Frederick Jordan when shestruck. He was rescued. Capt. \\ i ham Ward went down with his vessel. As nearly as can be learned there were 201 people on the Rio de Janeiro. , THE ACCIDENT. The Rio de Janeiro was three days overdue from Hong Kong via Honolulu when she arrived off the Heads last night, and tne dense fog prevailing at the time induced Pilot Jordan to biing her to anchor un til he could see his way clear through the gateway. She laid to until about 4:30 o’clock, when the atmosphere cleared aid she was started under a slow bell toward Point Bonita. All went well un til 5:40 o’clock, when ;he struck. Most of the passengers were beicvv and it is believed many of them were drowned in their berths. The first news of the disaster reached here at 7:30 a. 111., and soon after ward a boatload of rescued passen gers and petty officers arrived at the Mail dock. Tugs were itn media ely dispatched to render any service that might be needed, but no living persons were afloat when the tugs reached the wreck. A number of drowning people were rescued by Itali n fishermen and the bodies of two white women, three Chinese and a Japanese were brought in by the tugs. THE SEARCH EOR EODIES continued all day. All accounts show that the officers gave the ne cessary orders with the least pos sible excitement. Capt. Ward was on deck when the vessel struck and gave orders to the crew on watch to hurry the passengers to the forward deck. At the same time the quartermaster on duty sounded the signal for fire drill and within five minutes all the men were at iheir stations. There was no way of knowing the extent of the dam age to the vessel, as she remained on an even keel for fifteen minutes after striking the rock. But Capt. Ward, with the instinct of long ex perience, knew the gra\ est danger thieatened the 200 souls in his cr.arge, and he gave orders to lower t; e life-boats and rafts. There w s not much confusion until fif ti n minutes after striking, the b w of the vessel suddenly plunged in der water. Then there was a w Id rush for the boats. Two boats h and already been lowered and oth ers were getting Away as rapidly as trained discipline of the crew could prepare them. A thick fog e veloped everything, and as yet n sign had come trom the ljfe-sav i g stations. Darkness was all at out and with this added horror tlu people on the Rio had to cope, t ’ e boat got clear of the vessel th nit damage. BOATLOAD RESCUED. This contained ‘the following I ersons: Mrs. West, Mrs. Ripley, Chief Engineer Heflihey, Second officer Coghlan, F'rank Camp, J. J. Rus sell, Storekeeper Borgg, Water Ten der D. Lane, Quartermaster R. Mathleson, Capt. Hecht, of the German navy. This boat got clear of the sink ing vessel and then stood by o help in picking up those who had no time to get into the boats and were in the water. Another boat containing Third Officer Holland and J K. Carpenter got away, but was drifted around close up under tne bow of the steamer As the forward end of the vessel plunged downward the prow caught ihe small boat and cut it i.i two.

Cape liter was picked up by tne oiiier boat. ino late of Holland is not known. A number of Italian fishermen who were starting out saw the sinking of the Rio and hastened to give ail the assistance in their power. While tuis was going on CAPT. WARD WAS DIRECTING the passengers and trying to krep them from panic. He succeeded only partly, as many of the terrified people rushed to the railings and jumped over board. Some of these were picked up, othefs were drown ed. Tlie Chinese crew to the num ber of ovei Too, were terrorized. Some ot them huddled in little groups, chattering in fear. Others crouched close to the deck moan ing pititu.ly. Many jumped into the sea. Capt. Ward remained on deck until the vessel had settled to such an extent that the water had engulfed him. He then went up on the bridge and from there con turned t>i issue his directions. That the steamer sank almost immdiately after striking is the*report of a majority of those rescued. Some of ihe passengers say that she in stantly listed forward and that in five minutes she down, while oth ers declare that she stayed afloat for half an hour ader she struck.

PORTO RICANS TO PARADE- Native Battalion to Take Part in In augural Ceremonies. Washington, Feb. 27. About the most novel feature of the parade on inauguration day here wiil he the battalion of Porto Rican troops that has been ordered here and will be brought to Washington by way of Newport News on a government transport. The idea of the gov ernment in consenting to this ap pearance of Porto Ricans is that it will serve the double purpose of making them feel at home in the country that become a stepfather to the island, and will excite a decided interest and pride in them here among those who have not had op portunity to visit Porto Rica and find out what manner of people they are. All officers who have been on service in Porto Rico speak highly of the native troops, and as sert that their coming will be use ful, as upon their return they will tell great stories about the * hos pitality of the United States. After the inauguration they are to be* taken home by w'ay of New York, so as to afford them the largest op portunity to see the country con sistent with their early return home. The Y/est Point and An napolis cadets are to be here, but it is doubtful whether they will excite greater enthusiasm popular as they are, than will be provoked bv the body of little brown Porto Ricans.

One of the more recent discov eries contributing to the prosperity of the planter is that cotton has a variety of commercial uses. Even before the war the value of cotton seed od seems to have been acknowledged in a passive sort of way and it is said that the father of Ambrose Maginnis was one of the first to manufacture it in this country. It was not until about IS7O however, that the oil began to cut any noteworthy Ag in l in ine trade ox this (or any oth er) country. Up to that time plan ters had been in the habit of using for purposes of fe 1 tilization as much of their seed as they did not need for planting or for feeding. ?! After the development of the oil trade came the traffic in oil cake and meal. Then, as now’, nearly all of this portion of the product was shipped fo England lor cattle feeding puiposes It found favor with tlie English stock raisei and feeder almost instataneously and practically without question and upon the surface this looks a little singular, because the English ag riculturist is as a rule, inclined to be conservative In this case he was alieady educated, however, for long before that time he had well understood the great value of lin seed nieei and linseed cake for forcing the growth and hastening the maturity of young animals as well as for fattening stall fed bul locks and cows in the more ad vanced stages of preparation for market. In the cotton seed cake and meal he found an economical suostitute for the costly linseed products and it was nearly or quite as valuable. Of course the im mense output of cotton seed oil soon- caused ihe cake to become a very dangerous rival to the linseed cake and since that time its nrice has closely approached that of the other product. Cotton seed oil is now being con sumed in an almost endless variety of ways. Crude oil, well selected and adequately refined has found no little favor with h timekeepers, especially in the south, f r ordi narv purposes, as a substitut® for cooking butter or lard. Large quantities of the higher grades of this oil are shipped to Bordeaux and exactly what is done with it after reaching there nobody seems to know positively, but it is more than hinted by those who ought to know something about it that it comes back to this country as olive oil for use on the table. This oil also enters largely into the manu facture of artificial substitutes for blitter and lard, known to the trade by a great variety ot names. Cot ton seed oil is also extensively used by the manufacturers of fine toilet soaps, a purpose for which it seems’ to be especially desirable. For the finer soaps a good quality of oil is used, but even . the very refuse of the oil product is made available.
