It U about time for tlie steal and only Paratnount Blount to emerge from ob scurity and say something about Hawaii. In view of Admiral Walker's report, the Administration will almost, feel bound in self-defence to call on Blount for aid and comfort. The whereabouts of tho Pura mount one are unknown, hut UN possible that n senrclilnt; party properly organized and equipped might discover Mm In the obecifrity in which he began to sink almost the moment he returned to this country after his remarkable mission in the I'a;lflc. Stoisiks were recently put forward In Rome public prints to the effect that the victorious Japanese troops at Port Arthur had relapsed Into barbarism, and had wautouly outraged, tortured and slaugh tered tbe helpless non-combatant Inhabl tanta of that town. It was said that the Japanese had fallen to tbe level of Chi nese brutality, that tbe war teemed to be degenerating Into a struggle between Bar ages, and that the foreign correspondents at Port Arthur, though inured to all the ordinary evils of war, had fled In horror from tbe awful fcene. Tuete storie bore upon their face tbe brand of reckless sen sationalism, and were, from the first, largely discredited by men of voher judg ment. Lapse of time lias brought no con firmminn of them, bit', only cumulative disproof, until now, in general and iu par ticulur, they are shown to have been ho untrue that to call them wild exaggera tions would be gross flattery. Ski, lion have two strangers, coming hither together, from the sumo place and Dominnlly on the same vision, presented a more -trlkiug and Instructive contrast th.in have Messrs. John Bums and David Holmes, the delegates from the trades uni ins nf England 10 the recent conven tion if theAmerhu.i Federation of Lrbor at Denver. It will be remembered that when they landed here Mr. Burns was re garded as by ai the mora Important. He it was ,vho win Interviewed, whose por trait adorned the public prints, whose going and c linings weru chronicled as the chlet news of the day. The two have now been iu this country three weeks, an 1 havH discharge 1 the formal duty on wliioa they came. It Is now possible, with some degree of jus mess and accuracy, to sura up their work in America, and to estimate their worth as leaders of social and industrial affairs. Mr, Burns, after enjoying much consplouousness in Xew York and elsewhere, went to the Denver convention to which he was accredited, and made a speech or two. He hnd little to say of trades-unionism or of the prac tical Interests of the workingman, but m ich nf political agitation and Socialism. H urged upon the convention the adop tion of a Socialistic and revolutionary p at firm. He made a speech to the geiier.tl public, In which he railed against the m-rimi trovernuient and American Institutions RPtierally, and grossly in sulted the people whose guest he was. Thn, when the convention sensibly re jc'tvl 'he Socl illstic platform by an over whelming majority, he shook the dust of Dinv.ir from his feet and wentnwiy to discover other "picket editions of hell" to quote his own chaste phrase. So much for Mr Burns. Ills real mission here was to preach Socialism, and his character, as dlsuloswl by bis words and acts, seems to be 'hit if a mstn'crless, conceited, shifty p-'ltlcil Hltilnr. Mr. Holmes va less in evldenuj while In New Yorlt, Chicago and elsewhere. At D nv-rhe did not Indulge In so many rhetorVil pyrotechnic In the convention or belore the general public. He seemed to remember that be hud coma as a dele gate, not iw a drum major. He devoted himself in iu legitimate work of the con vention, modus.) but very tffectlvely. He opposed all Socialistic and revolutionary -schomes, and uiged tbe Federation to have regard for the Interests of labor In the promotion of true tradeiuulonlsig, like .kxt of England, which has done wore to Improve the condition of work lngmeu than any other such organization in the world. 11 stayed la bis place until the end of tbe convention, and just before the final adjournment made a brief speech which contained more good taste and sound sense than nil the rodomontade his colleague has emitted from Sandy Hook to the Kocky Mountains. "I hope," he said in conclusion, "that since my arrival upon your shores I have said nothing calculated to wound the sensibilities of the American people; and I also hope that I may not be held responsible for anything which may have been said out side of trades unionism." The answer of the convention and of the American pub- llo to that hope Is not uncertain. They recognize in Mr. Holmes a man who came hither on a legitimate and honorable errand, and who discharged thnt errand faithfully and well; a man of sterling worth, whom it Is a pleasure and a profit to have entertained, and who will go back to England with tbe cordial respect of every right-thinking American.

Holiday trade has metoxpectations. Pur chases liavo boon numerous, but smaller than usual in amount aud moro confined to needful articles, thus anticipating or dinary trado. Bradstreots" says: General trado pre sents tho usual holiday characteristics. A majority of wholesale dealors und manu facturers are, beginning or have finished taking acdnint of stock or arranging set tlements for the nuw yoar. Tho main ac tivity has been for Christmas specialties in retail lines. Tho practical conclusion of holiday trado has brought about a mod ta.ite reaction, and this emphasizes tho dullness noted In preceding weeks. Job bers claim tho outlook for trado during the late winter and early spring is for very conservative buying. But in Mime lines, notably heavy textiles, the recent cold weather has stimulated sales and reports from retailers west and south Indicate that stocks aro low almost beyond pre cedent. Minister Donliy Has Mnilo No Demand. Washington, Dec. 2!). United States Min'ster Denliy has mndonodeimmdupon the Chinese government for anilhfaotlntt for the killing of the two Jnminusu student spies, as reported, nor Is this government in a position to mako any such demand. About six weeks ago tho minister did ask the Chinese government to explain how it caino to pass that these students woro ex ecuted before his return to China from the. Unltod htates, when tho Chiueso minister at Washington had promised that their case should bo kept In uboyanco until Mr. Denliy arrived on the sceno. No aiuwer has yet been received from tho Chinese government, but it is oxpected that it will in tho end shift tho blaino upon some, provincial governor.

Tho candidacy of the sovoral nion for speaker of the asscmhly received a startllnp; baptism of flro here last night, for tho Dolovan House, that famous hostelry known from Mnlno to California, the ineccn of politicians and tho center of all big stalo political events for forty yours, vvn-s completely d'-stroyed. Flro Btioh as that of last night haj seldom boon seen. It wa 8:1)0 o'clock, nnd tho politlca. headquarters of both Mr. Fish and Mr Jlalby wore llllod with politicians and nowspapor men. Tho outburst of flames boforo an alarm could bo given to urous.i tho InmatoH of tho rooms was something appalling. Up tho elevator shaft thore snot a solid column of flumes, while up tho staircase near this perfect fluo shot an other column As tho mass reached each of tho flvo ors It branched out into tongues of leaping destruction, and It seemed as though tho wholo Interior of the structure was a seething mass. Jiortunatoiy tho list of guests was not very largo, and tho majority of thoso rog istercd were politicians and wero down on tho second lloor, whoro Mr. Fish aud Mr. Mnlhy had headquarters. Thoro wns a rush for tho stairs In tho front and tho ser vants' stairs In tho back, where tho ilames had not yet reached, and in a fow minutes thero was n tumbling mass of humanity coming down thoso fow means of ogress. Thoso on tho two upper floors could not nvnll themselves of theso exits, for tho flames wero rushing along tho corridors, nnd peoplo on tho street, who had not yet socn tho flames, heard a crash of glass nnd saw figures como tumbling out of tho win dows. Within ton minutes after tho first alarm at lpast twelvo persons were dang ling on tho insuluclcnt ropo flro escape or hanging on to window sills. Tho department arrived quickly, but it took soino tlmo to get ladders up, and in tho mcnntlmo some of tho pooplo had dropped to tho street. On tho right sldo of tho building thoro appeared at a win dow Burroundcd by smoko n man nnd a woman. Tho man hod hold of tho woman, trying to persuado hor to wait for help, but sho broko away and sprang out. Shu struck a balcony nnd robounded to tho street. Tho man waited for a ladder and was taken down In safety. Ills namo was II. A. Foakos, and ho represented n cash register company In Dayton, O. Tho woman was his wifo, and will probably die. In ox-hpoaker Malby's room, which was to tho rear of tho elevator shaft where tho flro first appeared, thero was tho greatest excitement. Alxmt twenty politicians wero thero. Including Congressmen Cur tis and Weaver, Seuntor Kilbum and Mr, Mnlby. A rush was mado for the stairs nnd when tho party landed In tho street tho only 01 - Injured was found to bo As semblyman Itobblns, whoso hair and faco were badly burned. In Mr Fish a headquarters thero was less hurry, becauso tlioy wero near tho stairs. All got down safely, but tho ma jority left their baggage. K. A. Manches tor, of Auburn, postmastor of tho assem bly, camo towards tho baggago room for his grip. Hoturnlng ho found his way blockcil with names anil sniuke,aud rushed back to a window. Ho smashed It out and slid down tho rope flro oscapo. Although flvo stories high, thero wero no outsldo flro escapes, and tho only menus left for tho peoplo in tho cut off rooms was to uso tho rope lire escapes. lien Iloilman, of Brooklyn, was In tho third story. Ho opened his room door as soon ns ho hoard tho cry of flro. A burst of llanio mado him look to tho window as tho means of escape. In an instant ho had but. two alternatives a flery death or ft jump, llo choso tho latter and plunged through tho window. When picked up Irom tho sidcwaiK ho win round to bo badly Injured. Ho will dlo. Ills wife, who was In tho room with him, tried tho flro escape, but it cithor broke or clso sho failed to hold to It, for she, too, camo to tho pavomont heavily Her right leg was broken, her left auklu dislocated and sho was badly burned about tho faco and head. Kdward Walsh, a porter, was caught In tho hall. Heforo ho could get out ho was badly burned and had to bo takou to tho hospital. Ono of tho incidents of tho flro was tho escape of Miss Martin, of Now York. Sho was In tho fourth story window on tho Steuben stroet sldo when a laddor was raised. A messenger boy rushed up and uroko tlio window, thus frcolng hor. Of tho ono hundred or moro guests at tho hotel not ono Is known to havo saved moro than tho clothes on their person. At 10:80 the east walls fell In, and soino of tho flromen narrowly escaped being burled. At 11:80 tho Broadway wall foil out, aud ono of tho ilroman was burled In tho debris. Ilo was taken out, and Is not thought to bo dangorously hurt. Mr. aud Mrs. Bradley Martin, Brndloy Mnrtlu, Jr., and Mrs. F. T. Martin woro guests nt tho hotel, having como hero tp bury their son, hhermun. Mr. Martin, when ho reached tho sldowalk, offered anybody 1300 who would got his wife's jewels. No ono accepted, and they woro destroyed, Thero was a satchel filled with jewols valued at fo,000. There aro rumors thnt thero aro bodies in tho ruins, and that quite a number of people did not oscapo, Tho clerk says that ho Is posltlvo all tho guosts escaped, but docs not feel so sure of tho servants, of which there wero a great number. It will take a day uro to dotormlno. Tho department, with nino streams of water pouring Into tho building, could do absolutely nothing at all to stop tho on slaught of tho flames, nnd tho only work was to snvu surrounding property. Tho llro burned Uercely for six hours, Tho Dolovan Houso is fifty years old, and is ono of tho most famous hotels in tho country. It Is a part of tho estate of Edward C. Dclovau. Tho proprietors paid $10,000 a year rental, aud lately had made vast improvements In expectation of a big winter bcasou. Tho total Iocs Is estimated ut $300,000, with on insurancoof f 303,000.
