Ciiuaoo. Anjr. 14. A hotel tire re
sulting in the death of a number of the
guests occurred this morning in a three
story structure on Madison street, near
Fifth avenue. A man jumped from the
top story of the building and waa killed,
and about half a dozen others were suf
focated and burned to death. The body
of Harry Godfrey. 7 yearn old. was re
covered. The building was u dilapi
dated structure, occupied as a restaurant
on the first tl.air, and the senate hotel
on the upper floors, There,-were 110
guests in the building when the tire
broke out. Those who perished in the
fire were caught like rats in a trap and
were unable to make their escape. The
total number killed is five.
The scene during the fire was an ex-j
citing one. Mrs. O'ilern and her '
daughter Annie, who slept on the third
floor, discovered the fire first. A mo-
mem later they and the other occu
pants were fleeing about seeking an
avenue of esoane. Annie and her
mother groped their way through the
etiliing smoke to u window and stood on
the sill. The crowd below yelled to
them no to jump. With desperation'
the woii.cn ciunjr to the framework,'
keeping as far out as possible, while the '
smoke and li.mtes hurst through the
windows around them. Although badly!
burned, they retained their position i
until the ariival of a hook and ladder '
company and the ladder was raised. '
An excited man, whose identity is mi-!
known, next readied the w indow. The
flames were already scorching his al
most nude ludy, and he jumped to the
etone pavement ami was picked up un
conscious. It was at this juncture the
lirenien arrived, the ladders were raised
and the work of rescuing the imperiled
inmates was systematically. began.

had a narrow escane from death at the .
.hands of a fellow sport the other even - '
r in; in the barro-jm of tiie Vanderbilt '
itoKd. at Lexin-'ton avenue and Forty- !
-secuiW street. The particulars of ti"lt. j
qnarrel leading up to the shooting affray
have been carefully guarded. Sullivan
entered the barroom at about S o'clock
in the evening. He had been drinking
' Jieavily and was in an ugly mood. He
-was accompanied by two old friend.
He lurched into the room, and, facing
x ibv covin ter, ordered wine for everyone
In the place. At the further end of the
bar was a man by the name of Mc
Ciueky, with whom Sullivan had tome
words in ltost.jn three years ago. The
pugilist did not see his old enemy when
lie entered the room. It was only when
he saw that McCIusky refused to drink
that Sullivan learned his identity. He
went down the bar to induce the man
be believed was a stranger, to take a
glass, of wine. When Sullivan got
within six feet of the man he saw who
it was, and then began a tirade of abuse.
He accused McCIusky of having slan
dered him behind bis back. McCiusky
quietly denied that he had ever spoken
disparagingly of the pugilist, and, w hat
was more, be had not ere.n taken the
trouble to give him a thought since
their trouble in Boston. Sullivan
glared at his enemy for a moment, and
then, bringing hia mighty fist down on
the mahogany, shouted in voice of
anger that could be heard almost a block
away : "Yon are a liar, Mr. McCIusky,
and I can prove it. Do you hear what I
ay? You cur, you have been talking
about me behind my back, and I say
that yon are liar." McCIusky was
crimson with anger by this time. He
brought down his first on the bar in
turn, and, turning to Snllivan, said:
','1 have told yon tbat I have never
spoken behind your back, and when yon
say I have you lie, and you know
it." The significance of the return of
the compliment did not dawn on Sulli
van for a few seconds. Then he clinched
his fist and shot it forth. It struck Mc
CIusky on the left aide of the neck and
knocked him down, but it did not stun
him. The prostrate man's band went
to bis hip pocket in a twinkling. As
soon as Snllivan saw the movement he
turned to run for the door, but a shot
sped after him. Before a second shot
could be fired, the pugilist's friends
rushed in and wrested the weapon from
McCIusky. (Sullivan was' quickly
bustled off in one direction and Mc
CIusky in another, and the affair was
kept quiet till today.

strange to the ears of outsiders. On
this account Y'ourig could not maintain j
belief in both the book and his creed of
multiple marriage, and that is why he j
startetl in on his own account. The 1
book of Mormonism is simply a reconl
of the doings of people who we believe
first inhabited this continent, the fore
fathers of American Indians and tiie
mound-buildera."
An Improved Currency Hltitutlun.
Washington, Aug. 14. Comptroller
Fckels thinks the currency situation
will be considerably improved this week
by money sinking to its normal value.
The premium paid for the use of cur
rency is dragging money from its biding
places, and during the coming week
more currency will be issued on bonds
deposited by the banks than iu the
same period of time for many years.
The currency was increased by this
method during July f,500,0o0, and
more than this amount has been issued
already in August. When to this $20,
000,000 of gold ordered from abroad is
added, there are certainly strong
grounds to hope for relief.
ItructlT Fire at Mlnnaapollt.
Minneapolis, Aug. 14. A big fire
stopped last night at Twentieth avenue
North, after burning nearly a squaro
mile of territory. It destroyed about lo
houses, averaging in value from f-500 lo

$480,000; 13 mills, mostly saw mills,
and sash and door factories, and a num
ber of icehouses and smaller concerns,
bringing the total loss up to about $1,
1"8,0U), with estimated insurance $7o0,

ItKjtanllnK flio Advisability of An Ex
tra Hanftlnn.
Sai.km, Or., Aug. 14. Governor Fen
noyer will tomorrow send a letter to the
members of the legislature, requesting
their opinions as to the advisability of
calling a' special session of the legisla
ture at an early date for tiie purpose of
passing a law to stay the execution of
judgments. The governor has written
this letter in response to requests in
numerous letters from Eastern Oregon
and other portions of the state, asking
that some action be taken. The cir
cumstances put forth in tho letters ask
ing for such relief are that times are
hard, money cannot lie had on even the
very best security, and persistency of
creditors would have theeflect of utterly
ruining whole counties ol the state.
Grain is good in quality, but rather un
der the usnal yield per acre in F.astern
Oregon, and the price is but three
fourths as much as last year. This
leaves the farmers not much abovo the
actual cost of production, and it Is out
of the question for them to pay heavy
debts from the products of their fields.
The laws of Oregon at present, per
mit the taking of a man's proerty for
debt and selling it for a mere fraction of
the amount it is actually worth. From
this procedure debtors want relief. The
governor thinks the laws cow in force
would form considerable measure of re
lief if the debtors would take advantage
of all the provisions. In some instances
cited tiie feature of usurious' interest
would have been an ample safeguard
against oppression if the law in that
particular had leen invoked, llut the
demand seems to be for a definite and
distinct slay of the law that shall give
the debtor a year before a judgment can
Its execuU-d. Uns i,rovision. thev
think, would take the poor farmers out
I of the clutches of tho money lenders.
I The governor wbs asked, "Would inch a
law bring tiie relief w hich the writers of
these letters expect?"
".Not unless congress passes a free
coinage law," responded tho governor,
and he repeated it as if it were a well
settled conviction with him. "If ton-

law to stay execution of judgment will
only prolong the misery of our debtor

I.onoo.n, Aug. Hi. Tin) Standard
tays: "Wc am sure America will ac
cept the award in cheerful good humor,
and apply it in perfect good faith.
Nothing was left untried by either side
to win a verdict, and in pronouncing
the decision the tribunal has only
affirmed and applied 0110 of the best
known and hitherto most unchallenged
principles of international law."
Tho itaily Chronicle says: "Wo feel
a sentiment of profound gratitude at the
full settlement of the difficulty which
once threatened to involve tlie interests
of three, powers. Tho arbitration is a
triumph of reason ami humanity over
which tlie civilized world should rejoice.
It is good for the world to know that
Englishmen have not claimed a single
thing that the tribunal has not decided
to lie in perfect accordance with reason
and justice. America from the outset
has not had a leg to stand upon. Its
case has been altered half a dozen times.
It picked and chose evidence to suit its
arguments. Fart of its case rested on
forgeries and it stixnl out for rights
which would infriugo on the common
rights of mankind. We are not dis
posed to criticise the proposed regula
tions, without which the seal would
soon become extinct. They will leave
America a pretty bill of compensation
to pay to tho North American Commer
cial Company."
Tho St. James' tiaette ridicules the
idea that the award is a triumph for
Great Britain or for international arbi
tration.' The America,i people, It says,
would never have gone to war for such
an absurdity as the claim that llehring
sea was a mare claiisem.
