FROM WASHINGTON.
the "POST” BUILDING DESTROYED BY
THE fire.
,« leading Heweoapere o» the City
affsctad—The Loee Very Hfa.y
••Report of the Bureau
of statistics—Notes.
WiawKGTOK, Ju'y fire broke oat
in the Poet banding, corner Tenth and D
t reets, suddenly this evening and eoon
the nnper etories were wrapped in flames.
The budding was occupied by the Wash
ington Dally Post, National Republican,
Washington Critic, Sunday Gazette, United
States Elec trio Light Company, district
gas inspector, Lee’s restaurant, Joseph
Shorter’s barber shop and Nealy’s litho
graphing establishment. The editorial,
composing and press rooms of four papers
are completely ruined, and the business
oKces are flooded with water. The bttlld-
j„g which is owned by Stilaon
Hutchings, was valued at ISO,
don and is said to be
covered by insurance, though this cannot
hedeflnltely ascertained until the arrival
ol Hutchins, who is at present in New
Hampshire, and whose Business papers
here are locked up in his private desk.
The Post and Republican used the same
valued at 120,000, and on which in
surance policies to the amount of $15,000
were taken out to day. The Critic press
was valued at $15,000 and is supposed
to have been Insured. In the base
ment of the Republican office was a press
owned bv ex-Secretary Chandler and val
ued at $25,000. It is not yet known wheth
er this was Insured. Nealy’s loss is esti
mated at $3,000. Hehad in his charge the
plates of a new book entitled "The Nation
al Capitol.” The Washington Post and
the present plates were very valuable and
are a total loss. Besides the pistes 5,000
coplea of the new work were burned. Lee's
restaurant was a popular resort for South
ern visitors to Washington, especially
tboie from Booth Carolina and Georgia.
His loss is $5,000, with $2 500 insur
ance. The Gazette Is owned by
Thos. G. Morrow, whose loss is not heavy.
Bhorter'a loss is hut $300. The total loss
f ill reach $150 000, about two-thirds ol
hich is covered by insurance. The edi
tors of the livening 8tar at once tendered
the use of tbelr office to both the Post and
Republican, and tnese papers will be is
sued as usnal to-rnorning. The Star has
two presses, eitber of which la capable to
printing’.the,entire edition ;of both the
Post and Republican.
While the Post building was atUl in
flames the editors ami primers of th* Pott
and K'pnblican were hard at work at the
Star office, preparing for tomorrow's
lsrae While the origin of the Are is not
definitely knovn it is believed to have
broken out in the engine room of the
Electric Light Company plant. This com
pany was in the Post building and soon
after the fire broke oat every electric light
In Ibe town was suddenly extinguished,
leaving certain quarters of the city in
complete darkness.
Walter Hutchins, of tbe Post, gives the
foliosing estimate ol tbe losses: The Post,
including loss on its building, $82,000; the
Republican. 135.000; the Oritio. $30 000;
tbe Elect, io Light Companv $.00,000; other
losses, $3 000-total, $100,000. Tbe loss is
almost entirely covered ny Insurance. Tbe
most serlons loss to tbe Post Is tbs burning
of its mailing list of the weekly edition.
Two of Its presses were saved in a dam
aged condition, and tba type of the Re
publican can soon be placed in good otder
again. Tbere will be no interruption In
the publication of any of the journals.

A PEFAULTXR SURRESPEE9.
A telegram was received at tbe Post-
Ollice Department to-day from Inspector
Metcalf at Barnesville, Minn., saying that
he had brought from Manitoba under ar
rest L. Gunderson, late postmaster at Cum
berland, Wit. About three months ago
Gunderson absconded leaving a deficit
of $5,COO in bis money order
accounts, anti tied to his
native land, Norway. Extradition prose
cutions were begun about one month ago,
whereupon the delinquent left Norway
and went to Manitoba, where he could no't
be extradited, owing to the absence ot
any provision for the extradition ot an
embezzler. Here lie was found by the
inspector and voluntarily surrendered and
was brought to this country.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Ruasu-Afghan Boundary Question—
Munster Bank-Other Items.
Loidon, July 10.—Tbil morning’s Tele
graph, in ita article on Afghan news, says
tbe objection of the Ameer of Afghanistan
to Russia's claim to a position practically
commanding Zulficar Pass ia supported
by Lord Salisbury. Lord Salisbury’s re
luctance to consent to Russia’s offer to
submit the question in dispute to a joint
commission is owing to his belief that inch
a course would be resultitss and would
only delay the settlement of the matter.
London, July 16—The Standard thia
morning says the government has tele
graphed to tbe British minister at St.
Petersburg respecting tbe Ruisian adrance
to Znificar.
Tba Standard, in an editorial on the re
ported advance oi Russian troops to Znl-
ticsr Pass, says that although more reas
suring news was received last evening
from Col. Ridgeway, chief o( the British
Afgban boundary commission, the newa
from other sources regarding the Russian
movements It of tbe gravest character.
Tba only redeeming features of intelli
gence from Afghanistan, says the Stand
ard, ia that tbe Afghans bave attacbed
themselves more ffrmly than ever to oar
aide.
Tbe Daily Telegraph says the Rnsaians
have made no actual advance nor have
they occupied Znificar Pass. The Ameer
invited the British Afghan boundary com
mission to return to Herat as a precau
tionary measnre on bis part, in the event
of a forward movement ol tbe Ruaalans.
Tbe British government has notified Rus
sia that any increase of Russian forces in
the direction of Znificar will be regarded
as an unfriendly action.
Tanaaa«, July 16 —Russians have per-
manentiyoccnpted their position on thePer-
sian territory lying betwaen Tsrakba and
