ARTHUR AND PEACE PROPOSALS. PORT CITY, UTAH, Halifax, N. F, Sept. 15. A fortunate shift of wind saved Halifax from deal ruction by fire today. Nevertheless the city suffered e loss of half a million dollars in the business part of the water front, and the progress of the flames was only stayed by the dynamiting of a dozen buildings by the sailors from the fleet and soldiers from the garrison. Between I and 4 oclock this afternoon, when the fire was at He height and a fearful southerly gale was pushing It straight .toward the heart of the business center, consternation rigtfi. throughout tbe entire city. Shortly after 4 o'clock, however, the wind shifted and turned the flames along the wharves and warehouses. There the fire raged cm Lower Water street practically beyond control until 7 o'clock when 200 Bailors with torpedo apparatus landed, and with the aseiatance of 200 troops, checked further progress by removing, with the aid of dynamite, a doaen small building!, i'he fire consumed six wharves, two coal plera, two hotels, a dozen warehouses and a number iff retail shops. During the fire a large tree fell, killing Flora Ring, 28 years of age and wounding two other. Admiral Sir Archibald Douglea personally directed the sailors In protecting Imperial property, and 200 marines patrolled the streets. One fireman waa family by a live wire and another waa Injured badly hurt by falling slate. The burned district, which covered about two acres, was one of wooden buildings three and four stories high, many of them built years ego, when Halifax merchants dealt heavily In fish. Crowds of people who had rushed down Smith wharf found thmsalvea hammed ln with the fire on one side and the harbor on the other, and all had to be token off by launches from the warships. By this time the entire city had begun to realise the gravity of the situation. At 3:30 it looked aa it nothing could slay the progress of the flames from the main business section of the city JAPANESE ADVANCING. and into the residential section beyond.

At tbe Auditorium theater ln this city tonight Speaker Cannon, of the National Home iff Ytepraseutativu, began a campaign which he will wage from this Uaie until election day in the l cioee districts of the vountry, The largo thuator wu filled to lu utmost capacity, and the speaker was received with - cnthuaiutic cheers. Mr. Cannon discussed at length the various Issues of the cave palgn. but gave special attention to the tariff and trusts, contending, with reference to the funner, that the Republican policy of protection fa the only sure safeguard of American interests, ud considering the latter, that tha presidents loiter of acceptance is a sure index of the Republican coogrt-Ksioua- party's policy. He spoke of Judge Parkers speech accepting the nomination, saying; The opposition denounces protection as robbery. If 1 denounced a thing robbery and I had the I'd remove tbe rubber, but the powef opposition wuto to carry New York, part of Pennsylvania and lndfaaa. They say. We recognise the political conditions, and If we come into power we will remove the robber graduallyT "The speech of Mr. Parker, accepting the nomination fa unique. He says: T endorse the platform, robbory and all. But please make me president and elect a Democratic house of representatives. We cant do uy harm, for the senate of the United Stotee will be Republican for the next four years! K would be equivalent to giving nutlet to the country unless there fa a change of sentiment, that at the end of two years ths opposition would come into lull power. We discount the future. Tbe manufacturer will uy: T will not produce and trust to ths future.' The retailer will say: T will buy carefully; notice haa been served that we are i have a change of policy.' The farmer will nay (fur the aarne reason) : 'I will liny less; I will set my house in order. Everybody draws fa sails." Remarking upon the' accomplishment of the present administration and the personality of the president hs said: "The opposition objects to the personality of President Roosevelt, of Theodore Roosevelt, the president of u the United States and tha president to be. They uy that he Is unsafe, that he will destroy the liberties of the people; that be will involve ua la war. It hi easy to dwell in tha region of abuse and villlflcallon. To all such vinification we offer the actions of Theodore Roosevelt as man and president. Under his leadership the party and the country have followed in the footsteps of William McKinley. The law haa been enforced. They fear he will rush the couutry into war. They forget that since he became president under the law fa tho hla discretion the army hrt been reduced from lOu.uuu u 59,uo0." He declared that the UepuUleaa party asked only to be Judged by lw fruila, and thus tested be was willing to let tbe people pass upon the official acta of the president.
