(By the Associated Press.)
Paterson, N. J., Feb. 10—The fierce
conflagration which burned its way
through the business*center, of Paterson
yesterday has completely spent its force
and is quickly dying out in the ashes
and broken bricks of its ruin. Conser
vative opinion inclined today to cut
*2,000,000 from the aggregate loss of $lO,-
000,000 agreed upon yesterday and $8,000,-
000 will probably be accepted finally as
the actual cost of the fire- No tabulation
of individual losss that, can be accepted
ns reliable has been made and it will be
several days before satisfactory figures
can e prepared. Equally incomplete is
the estimate of insurance. It was,stated
here that the insurance to between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000, but what gave
basis to the calculation was not clear. '
Several of the largest losers said that
they had not yet had an opportunity to
examine their policies, and that mean
time they could not tell what amount,
they carried. Probably no fire of equal
magnitude and widespread destructive-"
n-s ever produced an equally small
casualty list. Dozens of firemen ancl the
volunteers who labored with them were |
slightly injured by falling bricks and
timber, burned by living firebrands or j
temporarily overcome by smoke, but |
only a few of them needed either surgi- i
eal or medical attention. The small cas- j
ualty list is explained by the fact that ,
the people had ample warning and time
to abandon their homes before the flames
came upon them.
The lire made no headway during the
night. Fanned by strong wind it burn
ed up fitfully in places during the early
(hours of the morning, but wherever it
showed threatening strength the firemen
turned streams oil it and beat it down-
The firemen were completely exhausted
after more than thirty hours continous
work, but remaned at ther posts. There
was comparatvely little suffering on the
part of those rendered homeless by the
fire. ■ *
With the embers still aglow in the
business district, Commercial Paterson
planned resumption and restoration. All
of the batiks burned out yesterday open
ed lor business in temporary quarters
today and the officials of the banks ex- I
pressed a determination to do their part j
in the main tcnance of the financial
standing and credit of the city.
All the banka and trust companies an
nounced that their safes and vaults had
proved strong enough to preserve the se
curities, moneys and records locked in
them at the close of business on Satur-
A bread and coffee famine was avert
ed by outside aid. A Newark bread
company early this morning started
wagons loaded with 3.000 loaves of bread
for free distribution in the stricken city.
Wealthy residents of this city ordered
large supplies of coffee and provisions
from Pastdac Newark and Now York.
In the hospitals ar«’ sixty-three injur
'd in the long fight against the flames.
Two deaths were due to the calamity.
One was that of an old fvoman. who fell
down stairs in her anxiety i<> view the
fire. The other was a woman who had
just become a mother and who died as
the result of being removed from her
home.
The fact that the gr at silk mills es
caped the ravages of the flames is most j
Important, as silk making is the only i
principal industry of the city. About
half of the population depends upon the j
silk trade.
The great Rogers Works and the j
American Locomotive Works give cm-’j
ployment to thousands and these are j
running as usual today.
Just before daybreak the militia in one j
haul eleven men caught looting build- l
ings- Companies A. C. and M, of the {
Fifth regiment, Company A., of Passiae.
and fifty deputy sheriffs were on gtiard !
all night . They had orders to club any
one who did not obey orders to move on.
The 120 members of Paterson’s police
force went on duty at S o'clock' relieving
the militiamen
The anarchists who have made this
city their headquarters mourn the loss
of their favorite meetin gplace, the of
fice of La Questiono Soeialf. The office
of this newspaper was in Market street,
and it went down in the path of the
tinmen. The home of Miss Ernestine
Cravella. the young woman who attract
ed attention after the murder of King I
Humbert. by her influammatory
speeches In public meetings, was also
burnld
The homes of many others of the Pat

Bartholdt’s Hall, which was the board

The houses near it on Straight and Mar

THE STORY OF THE FIBE.
Desperate With the Flames Fan nod
bj- a Strong Gala
(By the Associated Press.)
Paterson, X. J., Feb. 3. —A great fire
swept, through Paterson today and in its
‘isolate wake are th< embers and ashes
jt»f property valued in preliminary esti
mate at $10,000,000i It bnrned- its way
through the business section of the city
and claimed as its own 'a major ty of the
finer structures devoted to commercial,
civic, educational and religious use, as
well as .scores of houses. Hundreds were
left homeless and 'hounmis without em
ployment. A relief movement for the
cure of those unsheltered and unprovided
for has been organized already and May
or John Honcheliffo says tonight, that
raterson will he able to cute for her own
without, appealing to the charity of other
communities and States. iTln- great man
ufacturing plants of the place arc safe
and the community, temporarily dazed
by the calamity, lias commenced
the work of reorgaui'fHivi and restora
tion.
The fire came at midnight and was
•cheeked only after a desperate fight that
lasted until Into in the afternoon. Every
city and town within reach of Paterr.on
sent firemen and apparatus to the .oMef
of the threatened city and it took the
united efforts of them dll to win the bat
tle. A northerly gale gave the conflagra
tion its impetus ant carried its burning
brands to kindle the blaze afresh at
other points. The, firemen made stand*
after stand before the wall of fire, but
; were driven back repeatedly, ind when
J v'etory finrlly came to them they were
I < xlmusted.
An estimate made from the general
'lnspection of the smouldering ruins
placed th" number of dwellings and apart
ment houses destroyed at. 500 and the
number of families left, without shelter
at T.Ofin. The fire began its work of sar
i reaching destruction at the power house
ot the Jersey City Hoboken and Paterson
Traction Company, which fronted, or,
Proadway and extended a block to the
rear on Van Houten street. It corn

fi.ro moved yaw the rescuers little tiirv.
7he wanting to many was brief ant they
were forced to flee, scantily clad, into

tv the keen wind. At night the mayor
to prevent disorder and check crime is
sued a proclamation warning al! persons
from being on the streets of the burm. d
district after 7 p. m.
.Main street soon was arc hod oyer with
a canopy of fire for two blocks as the
flames fastened themselves upon build

IVafihlnL'ton. Feb. 10. —Throughout
nearly the entire session-of the Senate
today the Philippine Tariff Bill was
under ronsideration. Mr. Turner, (Wash
ington), concluded bis speech begun last
I nvaliiv. He devoted his argument, as
on tho previous day, to a discussion of
tin' legal and constitutional pin acs of
the Philippine question, holding in the
main, that, as the Filipinos had establish
ed an ndcpnndent government in *hc
islands ; riot- to th • full of Manila, the
Baited States under the-precepts of in- ;
formiUor.nl law had no rights in the
islands.
Mr. Teller (Col.) took the floor to de
liver asp h upon the pending measure,
hut. rad scarcely introduced his argu
ment be/ore h*- requested ihat ho he stl
lowod to continue his address tomor

it) ib< n t'.fc or his opeech, Mr. Turner
exeiaiined with great vehemence: "The
leaders of rh c ftepublican party have
dishonored tho nation, by their greed
for power and They have done
o '.trier the falst and blasph ,'atoita pre
t< n« <• ihat. they were serving Almighty
God by advancing liberty aud raliglou.
In: t.-rtd o; advancing th* cause of liberty
they have struck it the * or. t Uow it
ha? received since it first found a foot
hold on the American continent."
Taking up the Sedition Act in tho
Philippines. Mr. Turner referred to it ;ij
net only unooustitutioual. hut us .u !
"relic of barbarism, too black even for!
the most despotic aud tyrannical govern- ]
meat that now exists on the face of the
earth.”
When Mr. Turner concluded a confer
ence report on the Urgent Deficiency Bill
was laid before the Senate. The House
amendment relating to the opening of
State claims was agreed to, which passed
the bill.
Mr. Patterson. (Colo.) presejited an
amendment to the Philippine Bill pro!-
viding for the repeal of the sedition
laws applied to the Philippines.
Mr. Teller gave notice of an amend
ment that it is not intended by the Gov
ernment of the United States to per
manently annex the Philippine islands as
an Integral part of the United States, hut
it is intended to establish with the con
sent of the inhabitants thereof, a govern
ment of governments suitable to their
wants and conditions.
Mr. Spooner asked Mr. Teller whether
be regarded the acquisition of l’orto Rico
as a violation of Teller's amendment re
garding Tuba.
Mr. Teller said he had not complained
of the acquisition of Porto Rico, because
the people of that island had desired it.
‘‘And I do not mean to say.” he con
tinued, “that if the people of Cuba want
to have that island annexed and we want
It, we cannot annex it under that provi
sion. I do say, however, that we cannot
annex Cuba unless the Cubans agree to
it with unanimity.”
The Senate went Into executive session
and soon after adjourned.

in the House on the Olebargarine Bill
was closed today. The friends of the bill
iu the House derided to offer an amend
ment to make the ten cent tax apply to
olemargarine in imitation of butter "of
any shade of yellow.” The amendment
is designed to meet the charge of the
opponents of the bill that without this

construed to absolutely prohibit the sale
ts olemargarine. The speakers today
were: Haughen, (Iowa): Thomas, (Iowa).
