end of London, eovering a raditte of
several miles, was -on the 6cene promptly
with a big salvage corps, and by 8
o'elock the engines had ceased to pump
water into the building. The lighting
apparatus was out of eourmission, how-
ever, and a 6trange seene was presented
as the salvage men groped about the
-huge cTheicture with lanterns and with
(similes flickering dimly.
Thousands of wires underneath the
floors had fused, and the firemen -were
forced to tear up part of the floors to
(set at the flamee, the work being ex.-
ce edi ugly dangerous.
Temporary repairs were started im-
mediately after the fire had. died out
to restore emergency communication
with America and the continent, but
the damage to the instruments and
wires was so great that some devs

telephone to Paris. Telephone.lines were
in great demand last night by the news-
papers.
Ten minutes after the fire started
Sir Alexander King, the head of the
postoffice, ordered all the employees out
of the building. They loft by the stair-
ways in good order, taking their bate,
voate and umbrellas, and remained in the
crowds about the building.
The thick smoke made the firemen's
work diffieult. The floor on which the
outbreak occurred was laid in six-foot,
Eeetions, and it was necessary to tear
these up separately to get at the wires.
The firemen first tried to smother the
flames with sand, but found that method
ineffectual.
After 9 o'cloek all the employees
mustered at the central hall for tem-
porary duties and for salvage work
during the rest of the night. It was
explained to them that all the instru-
ments, had been carefuliy covered up.

,BOLD BURGLARS
Make Daring Attempt on
Toronto Store.
Toronto, Aug. 26. ----Three men made
a bold attempt to burglarize Scheuer's
jewelry store on Yonge street last
night, and when they were disturbed
in their work emptied their revolvers
into the rear of Gingham's drug store
in an effort to make the clerks open
the door and offer them a hasty re-
treat to Yong° street.
First to notice the burglars was the
night watchman in the Star building,
who saw them at work while making
his rounds. Ile hurried to a tele-
phone and notified the police at the
Court street station, and it happened
that at the time tile eight o'clock
squad was just going on. duty. Every
man, with Detectives Leavitt and Nes-
bitt, was rushed to the scene, but
were just a few moments too late,
as the men had managed to jump a
fence in the lane and taken their
departure in the direction of Ade-
laide street.
The actions of the men when they
found themselves discovered showed
that they had come prepared . for
fight. Seeing the clerks in the drug
.store, they demanded that the door
be opened, and followed their demand
with a fusillade, but the clerks could
not be scared and the burglars es-
caped in the darkness. One of the
bullets struck a large mirror, and one
of the pieces struck William Smith,
one of the clerks, inflicting a rather
deep wound.
Quite a crowd gathered when they
heard the shots, and many were will-

would likely have been captured. An
examination of the lane showed that
the men had tried to pry off an iron
bar from one of Seheuer's windows,
but had not succeeded. One of them
managed to get his hand through a
pane of broken glass and got two
watches. It was then that they were
disturbed, and Mr. Scheuer misses

STRATFORD'S WOE
Cannot Get Power Agree-
ment for Street Railway.
Stratford, Aug. 20. --The proposed
street railway stystent has had a few
more obstueles placed in its way. The
latest is caused by tbe action of Sir Wil-
liam Meet:envie in disallowing. the ten-
tative proposal made by the engineers
of the C. N. R. to the Stratford Light
and Heat Cotumiesimt for 100 horse pow-
er, to be paid for, whether used or not.
at $30 per horse power, and additional
power at *32 per horse power. on a 20 -
minute peak. It is believed that the
llydro-Electrie Power Commission will
consent to no sueh agreement either,
thus bringing the negotiations to a mo-
mentary standstill. A special meeting
of the City Connell is carte 1. for this
evening. when (come of the phasee of the
problem may be cleared up.

BANK MERGER RATIFIED.
Ottawa, Aug. 25. ---The Government
has approved the purchase of the
stock, assets, etc., of the Traders
Bank by the Royal Bank. At a meet-
ing of the Treasury Board the matter
was discussed, and the application
sanctioned. A subsequent meeting of
Council ratified the action of the
Treasury Board.
What is sometimes called the amal-
gamation, though itt reality it is an
absolute purchase of one bank by
the other, thus is completed.
The Bank Act, as revised in 1901,
expressly recognized the policy of
permitting one bank to sell its assets
aud business to another. The tenor
of the Act is to the effect that con-
sent will be given by the Governor -in -
Council unless there are substantial
reasons against it.
In this particular case, the share-
holders of the two Institutions, at
their respective meetings, unanimous-
ly approved the agreement negotiated
by the directors. No objection has
been filed against the transaction by
any shareholder.
