Sevnty-I'ive Families Without Shel ter FJrc Loss of ÄUr.O.OOO. CHICAGO, Oct. 3). Seventy-five families lost their homes and $!iö0,oou worth of prop erty -was destroyed in a lire that started in Peterson & Co.'s picture fram" factory, at Union street and Austin avenue, late this afternoon. Fanned by a strong wind, the. flames got beyond control and spread to the small packing establishment of Feinberg &, Stopp and a long row of residences ad joining. Two blocks of dwellings skirting Milwaukee avenue were wiped out before the fire was subdued. The Peterson fac tory, which, with its contents, whs valued at JlTöiiiO, fully insured, was destroyed. The bulk of the remainder of the loss was on residences, fairly well covered by insur ance. There were many rumors of lives lost in the fire, but it is believed that ail people living in the burned buildings escaped. Several people were rescued in an tin conscious condition. One of the incidents of the fire was the cremation of the body of Frank J. Ruck, at his home, US Mil waukee avenue. He died- in the afternoon of blood poisoning. S. quick! v did the flames invade the building that 'there was no chance to remove the body, and it was incinerated. Heart of a Tottii Ilurned. COLUMBIA, S. C, Oct. 30. Twenty-three business houses, comprising the heart of the town of Timmonsville, were burned early this morning.

There was no apparatus for fighting the tire. One block of ten brick stores, including the Pank of Tim rronsville, is in the burned district. The loss is conservatively placed at Jl'rl'.uoo, with less than one-third insurance. W. F. Dennis, of tha firm of Smith Sc Dennis, general merchants, was arrested late to-day for nlkgfd arson. Smith, it is said, had left the town when citizens called at his place. THE COCOA PALM. Theory Itegardlner Its Relation to the History of the Itnoe. Washington Times. In science nothing is too small to be im portant. This is shown by a manuscript prepared by Mr. O. F. Cook, special agent for tropical agriculture, and recently sub mitted to Secretary Yi!son. Mr. Cook be lieves that certain facts in connection with the cocoanut have a definite bearing upon the history of the human race. It is well known that the cocoanut is in digenous to both the Eastern and "Western hemispheres, but it is not so generally un derstood that while there are twenty genera and about 200 species of cocaceae in the two Americas, there is but one species, the co coanut, in the Old World. This seems to indicate that the plant originated in Amer ica and was carried to the other hemi sphere by some land route which then ex isted, but has now entirely disappeared. This will recall to many people the theory of the lost Atlantis. It may be that the cocoanut was in some prehistoric time cul tivated by the people of that continent, and in its cultivated form carried to the shores of America, Asia and Africa. liut however it happened, this bit of natural history con tradicts the idea that the plant sprung up independently in the Orient and the Occi dent, and also goes to prove that some fea tures of civilization, at least, were carried from America to Asia instead of vice versa. Some archaeological discoveries are inter esting in this connection. Scientific study is of such a nature that whatever is true in one branch of it dovetails nicely with something that is true in another branch, and not infrequently one hvpothesls cor roborates or explains another which might seem utterly unrelated to it. It was found not very long ago that ruins existed in Central America which are prcbablv the oldest in the world. Among the hieroglyphs and devices in the carvings are manv em blems also found in Indian and Egvptian work of a similar nature, and representa tions of certain my:hs common to the old est of the world's religions. It is thought that the builders of the temples in which these inscriptions are found possessed many of the arts of civilization, and at least the rudiments of religion and litera ture: and it is surmised that thev s nt missionaries or envoys to India and to Epypt by this same mysterious overland route by which Mr. Cook seems to think the cocoanut palm traveled. Archaeolog v. as a science, is yet in its infancy, and botany is scarcely more advanced. The task before both is the construction of a history of the world so vast, so far-reaching and so wonderful that the records hitherto written will seem like kindergarten work in comparison. It will be the story of forgotten peoples, of the beginning f tribal relations, of the cradling of the hu man race. The re ords which are to . studied are the routes followed bv initia tory birds, the habits and habitat of plants, the rude images formed by primitive peo ples. Through his superior intellect man has left his imprint on the earth at every stage of his evolution, and the conditions which helped to differentiate species and varieties of birds, animals and insects had their influence on his development. Science is recording, little by little, not only the history of man. but that of the whole mighty course ef evolution. DESIRE OF PORTO RICANS THEY "IVAXT TIIEIIt ISLAM) AD MITTED TO THE IMON OF STATES. Also Would Make a Market for Their Coffee by DeelnriiiK Free Trade Mltli All the World. CHICAGO, Oct. S'. The visit to the United States of the Porto Ricun delegation of business men who spent to-day in Chi cago, has a far greater significance than has appeared hitherto. Instead of coming to inspect the commercial methods of this country, and incidentally to go on a little junketing trip to the Pan-American Expo sition, the I'orto lticans have come primari ly to pave the way for the admission of their island, first as an organized Territory, then as a State. The authority for this statement is Frederick Degetau, the present commissioner from that island to the United States. The delegation arrived in Chicago in the morning, visited the Board of Trade and the stockyards, was entertained at a ban quet this evening and left on a later train for St. Louis. Later a visit will be paid to Washington, where an interview with Pres ident Roosevelt will be had. The party in clude three of the five native members of Porto Rico's native council and one mem ber of the Chamber of Deputies, in addition to Commissioner Degetau. Free trade with the United States and Europe was asked by members of the delegation at a banquet given by the Boaid of Trade in their honor at the Auditorium Annex to-night. The sentiments voiced by the islanders met with the approval of the business men present at the dinner and ( heers greeted their references to the de sire for an open market. Dr. J. C. Uarbosa was the speaker who delivered the appi.'d for the revocation of the impost on I'orto Rican tariffs. "When the Porto Rlcan tariff bill was passed," he said, "it was with the understanding that it would re main in effect until we were able to become self-supporting. During the last year we have raised Si'.O.'io.OOO for local government expenses. Of this sum $.j,0ou has been spent for educational purposes and $M0,O(iO for good roads. The people of the island want the American people to know that they can help themselves. They want them to know that we are true to the American Hag and as good American citizens as there are in Chicago. One word as to the business of I'orto Rico: When we had a market for our coffee in Europe we received $!.li0,0t!i a year. Now that we have none, we take in but I.Ojo.OoO. Give us an opportunity to market our coffee our American coffee and our money will be circulated in the United States." COSTING MILLIONS. Efforts to Find Solid Foundations for ew Naval Aendenij. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. SO. While mil lions of dollars arc passing through the hands of contractors in creating the new Naval Academy, much of the profit of such handsome contracts is lost by expect ed and unexpected expenses that do not go into the erection of the buildings. The great timlnrs us?d in scaffolding are often rendered worthless chips by the manner in which they have to be cut, and much val uable Umber is wasted in making caissons for the erection of concrete work below the level of th river. This condition obtains on much of the land, and the water flows into the excavations with the rush of a mountain stream. The contractors met with a serious and unexpected loss by the water-logging of several hundred piles which had been placed in the basin made by the founda tion walls of the new power house. These piles have now to be taken up from the bottom of the river and carried up the Sev ern beyond the bounds of the academy. Five men. a steam pile driver, a scow and occasionally a tugboat are employed in this work, and only five or six piies can be moved in a day. The piles are fifty and sixty feet in length. The contractors were, more fortunate in their experience with the northwestern foundation wall of the new -power house. At one point the piles on which the con crete foundation was laid struck a quag mire, through which strata of solid ground ran of unknown depth. Piles nearly l'" f et long were driven, anil when a solid stratum had been struck the government Inspectors made their tests and the piles stood the trial. After the concrete wall was put on the piles wall and piles sank down together, and for a year the government has been putting its hands in its pockets in a vain effort, so far, to lind a firm foundation. IRISH M. PS ARRIVE. Redmond, McIIngh mid O'Donnell at Aevr York (luurmitine. NEW YORK, Oct. On board the Whife Star line, steamer Majestic, which arrived to-night from Liverpool and Queenstown, were John F. Redmond, Pat rick A.

Oct. r.).-The Times prints the following as a specimen of the languago used by William II. K. Redmond, M. p., in a speech he delivered at Claremorris, County Mayo, Ireland: "The Irishman to day is not unlike the sturdy Transvaal burgher. Unfortunately, he is unable to shoulder a Mauser ami to knock th fear of man. if not the fear of God, into Eng land's hirelings and ministers. Rut the day is. perhaps, not far distant when he may take a man's part in the restoration of the rights and liberties of which Ireland has been so unjustly deprived." PARDON FOR MORGAN. President Roosevelt Kentore Famous Gunner to Former Grade. NEWPORT, R. I., Oct. 30. President Roosevelt has granted a full and uncondi tional pardon to Gunner Charles Morgan, United States navy, who some years ago was found guilty by court-martial of being absent from station and duty on the cruiser New York without leave and sentenced to be reduced several numbers in his grade. Morgan is perhaps the best-known war rant officer in the navy. His application to Admiral Sampson lust spring for recom mendation for examination for commission drew out the admiral's opposition to the lav.- which afforded enlisted men an oppor tunity to obtain commissions and advance to the higirv grades, an opposition that caused no end of comment and brought down upon the admiral very severe criti cism. A few weeks later Gunner Morgan's application for divorce from his wife, who livtd in Erie. i'a.. and his subsequent with drawal of his suit alo attracted considera ble attention. Gunner Morgan rendered distinguished j scfvii e in charge of the divers who exam 1 jn.-d the wreck of the Maine, and in view o ihis Secretary Long, at the request of Rep resentative Melville Run, obtained for Mor gan the President's pardon. With his num bers restored. Morgan, who Is now attached to the Pensacola. will become chief gunner. evnner Achievement. Kansas City Journal.

Cleveland veterans will be asked to contribute memorial windows and other large cities will be asked to make contributions of a like nature. BATTLESHIP DOCKED. Great Cnre Taken to Present Damage to the Fumouw Oregon. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. CO.-The battle ship Oregon is now on the government dry uock at the Pugct sound navy yard, where she was taken last Friday to undergo re pairs to her keel, which was severely strained when she ran on the rocks some months ago. Later she will be given a general overhauling and painting. More than ordinary care was necessary on ac count of the strained keel, and for many days prior to the docking extraordinaiy preparations were made for the reception of the b'.g war vessel. In order that she miht rest gently on the blocks instead of pumping all the water from the dock, as is usually the case, only about six feet were taken out. Shores were then placed in position and two divers entered the water to adjust wedges and blocks carefully about the keel before any great part of the weight of the battleship was allowed to rest. The remainder of the water has since been pumped from the dock and the damaged part of the hull exposed.

PITTS RURG, Oct. .10 The board of di rectors of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Com pany, which has a productive capacity for 20 per cent, more than the entire consump tion of the country, spent the entire after noon in considering the proposition of M. Jules Gernaert, engineer and general man ager of the selling agency of the Belgium plate glass interest, for an international trade agreement which is to take in Rel gian, Russian, French and German plate glass producers. The plan is to cut off all overproduction, as well as to fix a mini mum' price and divide the markets. The di rectors of the Pittsburg company took r.o final action on the matter, although they look on the enterprise with much favor and will consider it at a subsequent meet ing. Gernaert has a similar proposition up with President James A. Chambers, of the American Window Glass Company, for an international agreement in window glass which the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company is also interested in by reason of being a heavy jobber in window glass as well as plate glass. The Relgium plate glass factories export thirtc on-fourt enths of their output. Much of this comes here, and it was stated by an ollicial of the plate glass company that this importation forces the American interest to sell per cent, of its production in com petition with the imported material nt prices that do not cover the cost of pro duction. Wages of Belgium, plate glass workers are only about a third as much as the American workers'. On All Railroads Including Interurban ind t anaooiis an Return IN THE SECOND ROUND.

"Australian" Jimmy Ryan was to-night knocked out in the second round of a twenty-round con test at Music Hall, by Jack Root, of Chi cago.

Ryan, who lias hut m.o eye, forced the lighting, but Root blockt d him throughout, and in the tirst round held him at his mercy throughout and ham mered him on the blind side continually. Ryan forced things through the first ha if of the second round till Root landed twice on his chin, when Ryan began to stagger. Then Root saw his man going, and landed a left swing on the point of the chin and Ryan fell like a log. the referee, "Rat" Masterson. counting him out. It was about tiften minutes before Ryan recovered consciousness.
