TACOMA WO.V FROM SPOKANE.
With Spokane Amateur Pitcher
Pulled Out, 8 to O.
SPOKANE, May 12. Tacoma today
tried Ed Stopher, a local amateur, on the
rubber, the visitors winning, 8 to 6. In
the first inning he was a bit nervous, but
after that he simply made monkeys out
of the locals, thus proving that Manager
Maloney's Judgment that "he was not
strong enough for the league" was way
off. McCloskey was injured in sliding to
third, and he may be out of the game
for some time. Aside from Stopher's 4
twirling, the features were the fielding
of Marshall and McCarthy and the op
portune hitting of Lynch. Twenty-five 1
hundred people witnessed the game.

Suburb of Detroit the Scene Blare
Started is Idle M11L
DETROIT, May 12. Fanned by a 35-mlles-an-bour
wind, fire this afternoon
swept the west bank of the Rogue River
in Delray, a suburb to the south of
Detroit, for three-quarters of a mile, and
destroyed over $800,000 worth of property.
Following are the losses:
Salllotte & Ferguson, lumber mill. $50.
000, covered by insurance; Brownlee &
Co.'s sawmill, salt block and part of
their lumber, $45,000, Insurance $15,000; the
Western Union Telegraph Company, loss
of cedar poles stored In a yard which, was
swept by the flames, about $600,000, Insur
ance unknown; Corkln, SUckney &
Cramm. loss of dredge, which was tied
up at the Salllotte & Ferguson dock, $70,.
000, Insurance unknown; Maltby Lumber
"Company, cedar poles and sawmill, $50,000,
Insurance $25,000.
The fire originated shortly after 1 o'clock
In the roof of the Salllotte & Ferguson
lumber mill. The plant had not been run
ning for several months, and the roof
was as dry as tinder. The building was
soon in ashes and the fire swept across
a block to where dredge No. 5 was tied
up. Despite efforts to save her, this craft
was burned to the water's edge. Great
embers were picked up by the wind and
dropped on the root of Brownlee & Co.'s
mill and salt block, and both these build
ings were destroyed.
Delray has a small fire department,
which responded with three engines and
the fireboat Battle. Even the great
streams of the fireboat were powerless
to check the flames which were rolling
down the river bank for hundreds of feet.
From the Brownlee property the Are
Jumped over Into the large yard which
the Western Union Telegraph Company
used as a storage-point for Its cedar tele
graph poles. The yard is the distributing
point for 10 states, and over 100,000 poles
were stored there. The fire swept through
the great yard, which comprises about
eight acres, In less than two hours, but
the poles blazed until far into the night.
The streams from the fireboat Battl
.were centered on this yard, but they had
no effect in staying the flames. The four
inch streams were turned into steam al
most before they reached the burning
piles of poles. The plant of the Maltby
Lumber Company was the last one on the
river bank, and It was soon destroyed,
together with a large stock of cedar
poles which was stored la the company's
yard. When darkness fell, the glare from
the burning poles Illuminated the sky for
miles. The firemen worked on the fire al
most all night to keep It from spreading
to other property, for they realized that
it would simply have to burn itself out in
the Western Union storage yards.
While this fire was burning, the lumber
yard of G. A. Ralph & Co., at Ecorse,
about a mile frcm Delray, was set on fire
hv Kiiarks from a nassing engine and 500.-
000 feet of lumber was destroyed. The loss
is about $75,000, covered by Insurance.
Business Part of Town Burned.
WAVERLT. la., May 12. Nearly the

Appeal to Baptists.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. May 12. The
Baptists of Jacksonville today Issued the
following appeal to the Baptists of Amer
ica: "Dear Brethren Jacksonville, the me
tropolis and gate city of Florida, is in
ruins. The great fire of May 3, the great
est that the new South has ever known,
burned 132 blocks in the most thickly-settled
portion of the city, and destroyed
every church and school building In the
city proper. The First Baptist Church
with Its contents was destroyed. Our pas
tor and family saved only the clothes on
their backs, while library and furniture
went up in flames. Scores of our churcfr
people are homeless. Many of them are
destitute, and must be helped. A major
ity of our members have lost their busi
ness. The well-to-do have "become poor,
and are unable to assist. Our church
must be rebuilt, and to that end we are
bending every energy. In our weakness
and suffering from the depths of despair
we call on all Baptists throughout the
country to assist us In rearing a temple
to the Lord, that His work may be car
ried on and His name glorified. "Please
send your contributions to Dr. W. A. Hob
son, pastor, or E. E. Cleveland, chair
man board of deacons."

INDISPOSITION OF THE PRESIDENT'S WIPE MAY CAUSE THE CUR
TAILMENT OF THE PROGRA3IME FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS
TOUR.
Northern Pacific struggle were all out of
town over Sunday. The financiers who
gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria talked
Informally of Saturday's bank statement,
and the stock market in general. There
were friends of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who
reiterated the statement that that side
had completed a count of the actual
shares In their possession, and that they
have control of Northern Pacific, but
this statement was vigorously denied by
partisans of the other side. James J.
Hill was at the hotel during the day, but
efforts to interview him regarding North
ern Pacific resulted In non-committal an
swers with -the exception that he stated
that there had been no change In the sit-
uatlon since yesterday.
The Herald tomorrow will say:
Representatives of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
say that the stocks sold by the arbitrage
houses will definitely come to them. These
holdings are distributed among the com
mon and preferred Issues. Some ques
tion may arise due to the retirement of
the preferred stock Issue. Under the
terms of Issue the preferred stock Is re
tlrable upon any first day of January
up to 1905 at par. No action has yet been
taken upon the preferred stock, which at
the present time carries equal voting
power with the common. Whether this
stock can be ordered retired by the di
rectors prior to the meeting of the com
pany on October 1 next is not known.
It would seem, however, as though a mat
ter of this importance would rest with
the shareholders of the company, and If
such Is the case, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.'s
stock will be in existence on October 1,
and It will determine not only the ques
tion of control, but the question of re
tiring the preferred Issue.
" Persons Identified with the Harrlman
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. interests express be
lief that some resolution will be passed
by the directors favoring the retlrem"
of the preferred stock. One of Mr. Mor
gan's partners, asked about this, replied
that he thought nothing of the kind
would be done.
PETITION OF LONDON BROKERS.
Wont Delivery of Stock Delayed Un
til Exchange Can Be Made for New.
LONDON, May 13. The stock exchange
has received a petition from the members
of the exchange in favor of the delivery
of Northern Pacific stock being deferred
until the old shares can be dispatched to
America and exchanged for new shares
or otherwise, to make the nonvoting
shares "good delivery." The question
will be discussed at today's meeting.
The Standard's financial article say3
that any extreme measure to force de
liveries of the stock would probably be
warmly resented by the stock exchange.
The Dally Mall considers that any such
arbitrary Interference with customs would
have more ill effects than good. The j
Dally News, In its financial article, ob
serves: "The penalty of unpopularity and dis
credit arising from the enforcement of
extreme, measures, such as are expressly
discountenanced in this market, will not
be readily incurred by the powerful firms
concerned, even should the railway 'deal'
be thereby Imperiled."
It 'is asserted, that 20,000 was quickly
subscribed In Capel Court Saturday in
once instance to avoid a stoppage by a
big operator whose differences amount to
40,000. Similar efforts are being made In
one or two other cases.

warmth left the body, and unmistakable
signs of death appeared. Several hours
