ST _lOl»lN, Dec. 22.-Fire broke
out at ni11e o’clocI< to-night iI1 the
big wholesale and retail hardware
establishment of W. H. Thorne &
tfo.. Ltd., and at the time of writ.
ing it looks aslif the \vl1ole building
would be destroyed. 'I`l1e fire
started on the third floor of tlIe
live storey building on Market

partnient is situated. The store
was throngcd with Christmas shop-
pers, but there was no panic. Later
the fire spread to the amniunition
and cartridge department and the
noise of exploding cartridges was
heard several blocks away.
The \Vestern Union Telegraph
t‘ompany building adjoining is in
danger, but to now, 11.35 p.m., the
flames have been kept from it.
The fire is spreading in the back
of the big stores on King Street a11d

.\Ianchester, Robertson & Allison’s`
dry goods establishment, the largest
of the kind east of Montreal, is also
in danger in some of the depart-

lo estimate the damage at 'l`horne’s
and at this time insurance estimates,
cannot be secured.
1.45 a.n1.-The Thorne :hre is
now under control. The loss is
about $150,000; insurance between

OTTAWA. Doc. 22.-The Liberal
conference concluded yesterday with
the announcement that the delegates
attending. plus some others. will con-
stitute a permanent national advisory
council. They will build 9. platform.
An official statement issued nt the
close of the conference admits that
the question of extending the parlia-
mentary term wns discussed but "only
incidentally."
The' matter.. It is added, “ will bo
left for parliament itself to decide."
This is I1ot understood hero as moan-
ing that the conference reached no
co1Iclus1oI1 upon the main business f'or
which it was summoned.
There are indications that the anti-
olection elementin the party is be-
coming stronger daily and that the
party leaders will hardly be able to
ignore so strong a fac or. This ele-
ment 'was represented ln some
strength at the conference and its
views were placed forcibly on record.
A complete volte-face officially set
forth ln black and white by the con-
fereneo was hardly to be expected in
view of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's refusal
to accept the govern111cnt's proposal.
b\1t it is believod that an extension
a.r1'nngcmcnt will he reached when
parliament meets and u war election
uvoidcd. The Isuggestioii that tho
Uanndiall parliament he r-.xtcudod for
elglil. months. as ln Euglmni, comes
from noilhnr side here. and would 11ot
bo acceptable to tho izovurnmonf.

second /\mcrican note to Austria
shared tlIe leading positions in late
Nc\v York Iicwspapers with reports
of Russian successes at V)/a1'IIa, Bul-
garia’s chief seaport. The note
appeared here too late for extended
editorial comment, but the head-
lines reflected tl1e general opi11ioI1s.
The note was couched in a sharper
tone an<l'alI discussion about de-
tails was swept aside. No further
discussion appears possible. Up to
a late hour there was no official
confirmation of the report of lius-
sian occupation of Varna. which if
true is, according to Loudon edi-
tors, one of the greatest moves of
the present war. The same critics
believe that the Russian assault on
Varna is a prelude to 11 new effort
for COII.staI1_tiI1oplc, whicli is less
than 150 miles di.~'iaIIt.
