DEATH IN THE FLAMES.
Six-Story Lodging-House Burned at
Spokane. ,
Spokane, Jan. 26. A fire in which
the loss runs rip to $400,000 worth of
property and at the very least five lives
were lost took place tonight. The
Great Eastern block at the corner of
Post street and Riverside avenue, six
stories in height, and constructed of
brick, caught fire about 11:45 P. M.,
and in three hours was totally demol
ished. All of the upper floors and part of
the third floor were used for lodging
purposes, and at least 150 people were
asleep in the building when the fire
started. While most of them escaped
with only their night clothes, it is
thought a number perished. What
makes the horror greater, is that no
one knows who is still imprisoned.
As the people were removed from the
burning structure or escaped them
selves, they sought places of safety.
The last out of tiie upper floors report
forms lying in the hall, and women
shrieking in the flames. The origin
of tho fire is supposed to have been in
the engine-room.
Tho Great Eastern block was built
in 1890 at a cost of $250,000, and was
owned by Louis Levinski, of San Frar
cisco, who carried but $50,000 insur
ance. A thrilling rescue was that of Robert
Masson, his wife and their 2-year-old
son from the fifth floor on the Post
street side. From a fira escape on the
fourth floor seven feet to one sido from
their window, a fireman threw them
a rope, which Masson made fast to
the bed, and came down hand over
hand, carrying his boy. Mrs. Masson
followed. As she hung suspended far
above the ground, the huge crowd
watched with breathless interest.
When she was grasped by the fireman a
shout of joy went up.
The lives know to be lost are those of
Rose Wilson, aged 18, and Roso Smith,
an invalid, aged 20, besides Mrs.
Davies, who jumped from a fifth-story
window, and died two hours later.
Others are supposed to bo in the build-ii'tf-

To Kxumlna the Yukon Delta.
Washington, Jan. 20. Professor
Pritchett, of the coast and geodetic
Burvey, has practically completed ar
rangements for an expedition which
will start for Alaska in tho spring t
make an examination of the delta of
tho Yukon river for the purpose of
locating and marking if possible a deep
water entrance to tho river.
For the carrying out of this work and

MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED
Mob Threatened to Raid the Warehouse
When Captain Kay Asserted
Ills Authority.
Seattle, Jan. 25. The latest from
Alaska is that Captain Ray, United
States army, has taken charge of the
stores of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany and the North American Trading
& Transportation Company, and has
proclaimed martial law in Fort Yukon,
and placed its 500 inhabitants on
rations, compelling those who have
money to pay for them, and
have not to work for them,
was rendered necessary by
stock of supplies on hand,
those who
This step
the small
which, it
was feared, would be exhausted bofore
the Yukon river opened next spring.
After taking this action, Captain Ray
sent a special messenger to Dawson
City, with a letter to the commercial
companies notifying them that he had
taken possession of their stores. It is
stated that the letter also aeked the
commercial companies to uso their in
fluence in securing legislation by con
gress giving to the soldiers in Alaska
the same civil functions as enjoyed by
the Canadian mounted police.
The news of Captain Ray's action
readied here this morning on the
steamer City of Soattlo, which brought
45 persons from Dawson City, and gold
dust and drafts estimated at $500,000.
Today's arrivals bring advices up to
December 21. They contain no other
late news of importance.
It is almost the universal expression
of those arriving today that while there
is no immediate need of a relief expe
dition, it will be very acceptable late
in the spring. All say that an expedi
tion cannot be taken in at this season,
but that it would be a wise move on
the part of the government to have it
at the lakes ready to start when the ice
runs out. It will then reach Dawson
in time to reliove distress that now
seems probable to occur before boats
can ascend the river.
It is stated that Captain Rny will
ask the secretary of war for sufficient
troops to patrol tho Yukon basin this
coming season. It is also stated that
Major Rucker, who is at Dyea and
Skagway, making preliminary arrange
ments for the government relief expe
dition, has recommended that troops
be stationed at these two places and
along the trails to preserve order.
W. M. Rank, of San Francisco, who
arrived here today from Dawson City,
which place he left December 1, gives
the following particulars of an attempt
u, . i vvHhe programme, inasmuch as the tele
warehouses of the Alaska Commercial ,.,v . '. . . , :.,i
Company and the North American
Trading & Transportation' Coohpany.
The particulars were brought to Daw
son by Fred Gosoh, October 28. One
hundred and fifty men went to tho
trading companies and demanded that
they be given a year's supplies on
oredit. They said that they would
pay them with work in the mines in
tii o Klondike next season. The com
panies refused, after a consultation
with Captain Ray. On tho following
day the mob gave notice that unless its
demands wore complied with, the ware
houses would be Beized. Captain Ray,
when informed of this, hoisted the
United States flag over both ware
houses, and, placing Lieutenant Rich
ardson in command of one, took posses
sion of the other, and proclaimed mar
tial law. Captain Ray swore in a force
of 25 men to uid him in protecting the
property.
A peculiar fatality occurred on the
City of Seattle on her upward trip. A
light fell from a masthead and struck
a passenger named George, of Victoria,
crushing his skull and killing liiui in

minors at a recent meeting in Dawson
to go to Ottawa ami ask for a modifica
tion of tho mining laws, was among
the City of Seattle's passengers.
BANQUET OF FORTY-NINERS.
Number of California PInm-ers Meet lu
Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 25. The 50th anni
versary of the discovery of gold in
California was celebrated today by the
Western Association of California
Pioneers, which held its annual meet
ing and banquet in tho Tremont house.
Eight survivors of the old army of
argonauts, with members of their
families, assembled for the celebration.
Secretary Hotchkiss, in his report,
Btated the inomliership of the associa
tion was 103, distributed throughout
the Northwest. Nine members died
since the last annual meeting. The
average ago of tiio members is 09 years
un .1 8 months.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the exact date of the discovery. Some
of tho associations of pioneers observe
January 18, others January 24. The
Chicago society honors the latter day.
The program mo was entirely formal.
Judge Richard S. Tuthill was the prin
cipal speaker, Most of the time was

a view of making tho sultan more
docile in the settlement of the Cretan

ORDERED TO HAVANA.
Big Battle-ship Maine fining; South on
: Short Notice.
Washington, Jan. 26. Within 48
hours, for the first time since the in
surrection broke out in Cuba, three
years ago, the United States govern
ment will be represented in the harbor
of Havana by a warship. The decision
to send the United States battle-ship
Maine was finally reached at a special
meeting at .the White House this morn
ing, between the president, Secretary
Long, Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney-General
McKenna and General
Miles, and it is a striking fact that,
with the exception of Secretary Long
and the attorney-general, not a member
of the cabinet knew of the intention to
take this radical action. It is denied,
however, that some such move has long
been in contemplation, as evidenced in
the following statement of Secretary
Day, made this afternoon:
- "The sending of the Maine to Ha
vana means simply the resumption of
friendly natural relations with Spain.
It is customary for naval vessels of
friendly nations to pass in and out of
the harbors of other countries with
which they are at peace, and British
and German warships have recently
visited Havana. This is no new move.
The president has intended to do it for
some time, but heretofore something
has happened to postpone it.
The orders to the Maine mean
nothing more than I have said, and
there is nothing alarming or unfriendly
in them. The Spanish minister here
is fully informed of what is going on,
and, so far as I know, has not made
the slightest objection to it."
Further, Mr. Day said that Consul-
Genoral Lee had not sent for a warship.
This statement shows that the move
ment was made deliberately, and that
it could not have been taken if there
were serious apprehensions of its re
sults to Havana. The general belief
hero, however, is that in Madrid,
rather than in any Cuban town, is the
trouble to be looked for, if there
should be any misapprehension of tho
purpose of our government in sending
the Maine to Havana. The temper of
the opposition newspapers in the Span
ish capital has been threatening for
some time, and it may require the
strong hand of tho news censor to re
press utterances that would lead to
rioting.
Admiral Sicard's orders were not
made public in their text at the navy
department, but it was stated that the
Bubstance of them was in the statement
made by Secretary Long. The orders
wero not directly to the Maine, for the
reason that she is now attached to the
Bquadron, and the naval regulations re
quire all suoh orders to go through the
superior officer. There is Borne ques
tion whether the telegram reached the
admiral before he sailed with his
squadron from Key West for Tortugas
harbor. The belief is that it did not,
but this will make little difference in
giuui niir uo Bum iu uio ituiunui uy
one of tho torpedo-boats, or by some
other mans of conveyance. The de
tails of the Maine's movements are be
lieved to be left to the arrangement of
Admiral Sicard, but it is thought that
the ship, which put to sea with the
squadron, will return to Key West be
fore going to Havana.
The German ships to which Assist
ant Secretary Day referred in his
statement are the Carlotte and the
Geyer, both training-ships and not of
formidable type, though one sufficed to
settle hastily the recent Haytian diffi
culty. Their touching ut Havana is not
believed to have been significances their
cruise was arranged in all details last
September, and the some ships are due
at Charleston, S. C, early in February.
UNPROFITABLE EXPERIMENT.
Seventeen Itelndeer Killed on au At
lantic Steamer.
New York, Jan. 26. Soventeen rein
deer were executed by hanging on tho
voyage from Hamburg on the steamer
Glendon, which reached hero after a
tempestuous voyage of 14 days. Fif
teen others survived tho trip, but one
of them has a broken kneecap, which
has been rudely bound in splints.
The 15 are all that aie left of a herd of
40 reindeer started from a small village
in Finland a month ago, destined for
a journey of more than 10,000 miles to
the Klondike region.
The reindeer are not a part of Uncle
Sam's plan for .relieving the miners.
They were purchased by an old Klon
diker, who believed there was money
in shipping reindeer there to the land
of gold as beasts of burden. They were
shipped on tho Glendon. It has no
Btalls for cattle, and the reindeer were
tied to stanchions.
The Glendon left Hamburg January
7 in a gale which rolled the ship like a
barrel. Two of the reindeer had their
necks dislocated before they vessel ha 1
been out three hours, and the next
day throe more were killed. The fifth
day brought a gale from the west, which
speedily produced five more dead rein-
I deer.
In tho gale of last lhursday six
more were killed and tho legs of throe
uf these were fractured in half a dozen
places.
Government Wilt Prosecute.
Paris, Jan. 26. The government
will prosecute M. Gerault-Richard and
the Comto de Bemis for their conduct
in the chamber of deputies during the
recent disturbance.
ltedm-tlon in Wages.
Wheeling, V. Va., Jan. 25. The
employes of the Wheeling steel plant,
in Bonwood, about 500 in number,
have been notified of the second reduc
tion in wages within 13 months. The
present reduction affects all employes
of the company, and runs from 13 to
25 per cent.
London, Jan. 26. The colliery acci
dent near Mens, announced in a dis
patch from Brussels, resulted in the
death of 17 persons.
NO PLOT WAS LAID
Demonstrations at Havana
Were Spontaneous.
VOLUNTEERS ARE VINDICATED
Newspaper Attacks on Loyal Spaniards
Caused the Outbreaks Troops
Are Still In Havana.
Havana, Jan. 24. Since Saturday
the rioters have been quiet, with ie
exception of a dynamite bomb exploded
in the Plaza do Colon, which did no
harm. The rumors that the volunteers
would revolt against the government
have had no foundation. Neverthe
less, on Saturday and Sunday several
generals arrived here from Matanzas
province and from Havana province
with additional reinfocrements. About
15,000 men are now located within the
city limits and in the outskirts.
Certain persons have circulated
rumors that the volunteeers would join
in the riots, and have still further in
creased popular passion by saying that
the government intended to disarm'
them. It has also been asserted that
the volunteers would not have the bal
lot, because they are in tiie pay of the
government, which is not a fact, as
only buglers and a few others are paid.
The rest are merchants and clerks,
serving without government pay.
Those responsible for circulating these
rumors are interested, it is asserted, in
breeding trouble between the govern
ment and the volunteers, so as to have
the latter disarmed, and to be assured
of 84,000 men less against the insur
gents. Now that tha disturbances have
quieted down, the greatest part of the
troops have returned to their respective
stations.
Among the government's supporters
the riots are explained as spontaneous
and wholly without previous arrange
ment. They are asoribod to the violent
attacks upon not only army officers,
but also upon prominent loyal Span
iards, like the Marquis of Pinar del
Rio, and Madame Eva Cane, the well
known newspaper woman. The sol
diers on tho other hand blame the au
thorities for tolerating newspaper at
tacks prohibited by law. Though
without social standing, the riuiors
insist upon their patriotism.
A DOUBLE MURDER.
A Drink-Crazed Mechanlo Shoots Ills
Wife and Mother-in-Law.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 24. Ed
ward Duff, 40 years old, a niechanio,
shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law,
Mary Maher, at their home here
laBt night, after trying to induce his
wife to live with him again. He had
been drinking heavily. When he
called his wife left the house to avoid
him.' He followed and shot her. Then
he returned to the houso, and, going to
the room where his wife's mother was
sewing, unconscious of the tragedy,
shot her in the neck and shoulders,
killing her almost instantly.
John Reilly, who was in an adjoin
ing room, met Duff coming from tiie
sewing-room with a revolver in his
hand. He asked hiin what he had
done, and received as a reply a shot
which grazed his necu. Reilly ran and
Duff took to the street.
He passed over the body of his dead
wife as it lay on the walk. He re
loaded his revolver, and, seeing that
the crowd was gathering, walkei
briskly down the street for a block,
carrying the revolver exposed all the
time. The news of the murder spread
rapidly, and a few minutes later a pa
trol wagon with three offioers rushed
up. Duff fought like a tiger, but was
disarmed and locked up.
OHIO RIVER ON A RAMPAGE.
Unusually Heavy Kalns Cause a Sudden
Flood.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 24. Fears are
entertained here of a flood. The Ohio
is rising ptoadily. At 6 this morning
the danger line was but three feet off,
but by noon this distance has been de
creased by nearly 11 inches.
Much damage was done throughout
the Btato last night by a heavy rain and
wind storm. Thomas Cross, a drummer,
was drowned while crossing a swollen
stream near West Baden, Ind. A son
of a farmer named Drnry, and a negro
farm hand, while riding horses across
the Cumberland river fors in Jackson
county, Tenn., were drowned. The
Methodist church near Falmouth, Ky.,
was unroofed and barns and farmhouses
in Girrard, Grayson, Henderson, Union
and Hickman counties were damaged.
The Licking, Big Sandy, Cumber
land, Green and all their tributaries
are booming and many are out of their
hanks.
Moving the Expedition.
Seattle, Jan. 24. Arrangements
have been made to send a detachment
of the government Yukon expedition
from this city on the steamer Signal,
which sails for Skagway ahAt Febru
ary 5. The detachment will consist of
two officers, 22 men and 110 pack ani
mals. One hundred bob sleds, designed
by Jack Dalton, for the use of the ex
pedition, arrived here today from the
East.
Ilellef for Cubans.
Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 24. Tho
National Guard of Missouri will col

General Milton Moore, of Kansas City,
will receive all subscriptions.
Spencer, Ind., Jan. 24. The total
loss by hist night's fire is placed at
30,000. The 'body of L. Dickerson

MOB HELD IN CHECK.
Police of Paris, With the Greatest Dif
ficulty, Preserved Order.
Paris, Jan. 25. Todday, Paris has
the appearaoe of being in a state of.
eiege, and 4,000 police and soldiers
hold the Place de la Concord.
In anticipation of the prohibited
anti-Dreyfus demonstration today, un
der the direction of the organizing com
mittee appointed by the anti-Dreyfus
meeting at the Tivoli Vauxhall last
Monday night, stringent measures were
taken by the authorities to preserve
order. The Place de la Concord and
the garden of the Tuilleriea were held
by detachments of cavalry and infan
try and large forces of police.
Nothing happened until 2 o'clock
this afternoon, the time announced for
the meeting to protest against the pro
Drefyus agitation in the Salle des
Milles section and in the Mont Parnesse
quarter. The approaches to the hall
were occupied by police and mounted -republican
guards, while the precau
tion was taken of removing all chairs
from the interior. The police refused
admission to known anarchists, but
many who were less prominent evaded
police vigilance, gained admittance and
created disturbances. M. Thiebaud
was eleoted to the ohair, and the noise
ieet disturbers of the proceedings were
expelled from the hall. M. Thiebaud
proposed that a wreath should be laid
on the Strasbourg statue, and the pro
posal was greeted with cries of "Viva
l'armio" and "Vive la France!"
As the disturbance continued, M.
Thiebaud got a motion adopted to closo
the meeting. Tho wreath was then
placed in a carriage, but the police re
fused to allow tho crowd to follow it in
a body, and divided it into small
groups. In the meantime, tho anar
chists tried in vain to organize a fresh
meeting. The wreath was placed on
the statue at half past 4 o'clock this
afternoon, amid perfect order.
Later in the evening the police dis
persed largo bodies of anti-Jewish dem
onstrators in the Rue do la Fayette
and at the office of the Auroro, but
nothing serious occurred, and there
were few arrests during tho day.
It is agreed on all sides that Satur
day's scene in the chamber of deputies
was almost without precedent, except
the recent disturbances in the Austrian
reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count
Badeni, the ex-Austrian premier, wit
nessed it. He must have felt quite at
home.
After the chamber was cleared 125
torn-off neckties were picked up, to
gether with many coats that had been
torn by deputies from each other's
shoulders. M. Clovis Hughes, one of
the deputies for the department ot the
Seine, had a door slammed on his fin
gers, which were so mutilated that he
is now in the hands of a surireon.
The scene of fighting around the tri
bune was unparalleled.
