The police believe that the fire was

first person to see the lire, just as it
had begun to creep up the air shaft.
He ran into the building pounding on
the hall doors all the way up. to the
sixth floor to waken the tenants. The
fire followed him so swiftly that when
lie reached the top floor he was oblig
ed to send the tenants there out to
the fire escapes to save them from
suffocation. ". '. -v-'
When the fire department arrived
with its ladders, nearly every one on

BORAH OF ENGINEERS AGREE
After Nearly Three J Months'. , Hard
. i . j Work, Advisory Body, Composed
of Engineers Trom .All Parte of the
World, Gees on Eecord , Against
Locks by a Vote of 8 to 5.
, r Washington, Special.-r-By a vote of
8 to 5, the board of consulting engi
neers of the Isthmian Canal commis
sion placed itself on record as favor?
ing the construction of the , Panama
Canal on the sea level. This decision
represents the outcome of nearly
three monhs hard work. Early in
September the engineers gathered'
from all parts of the world to assist
the American engineers in the direc
tion of the momentous question of
constructing the Panama Carial at' sea
evel or at a greater, altitude involv
ing a system " of locks.
The foreigners came to Washington
absolutely without instructions from
their own governments and without
bias, determined to be guided to their
direction solely , by the . facts to be
presented to them. , It was riot. until'
last Tuesday mat anything in the na
ture of a decisive vote was taken ; and
that; after all, was. an indirect test.
Just what that proposition was can-
not be stated with absolute -certainty,
but it is conjectured that the issue was
whether or not 'a lc-k canal of a cer-
tain type snouia oe constructed At
any rate, the vote disclosed the fact
that a majority of the eight Ameri-
can members, under the lead of Gener-
ai addou, was sirongiy in iavor 01 a
lock canal.
The foreigners were . against the
particular type mentioned in the pro
position, but it was not clear that at
that moment they were opposed to the.

The real test come, and the time be
tween Tuesday and tho meeting; Sat
urday was consumed in some very
Strong presentations, on the part of
the majority of the American dele
gates to influence their foreign col
leagues to accept ; one , of the other
lock propositions. . The Americans,
there is reason to believe that three of
their number, probably General Davis
and Mr. Pearson; and Mr. Burr, joined
the foreign delegates in this first vote,
which recorded the board as favoring
the sea-level canal.
The decision was Teached about
noon and thereby the board practical
ly concluded its labors. There will be
a few inore meetings next wees sunpiy
to deal 1 with - small ; details and to put
into permanent form the results of the
board s protracted meetings. The for-.
eign delegates desire to leave for their

that the American members of the
