The panic that raged on the third and jfourth floors continued until long after the fire had been extinguished. Patients who had Just undergone surgl pal operations rushed from their beds to Jhe windows and attempted to throw themselves to the ground.

(Concluded en Pajre Five.) sessions of the Democratic State Conven tion tomorrow, there Js likely to be pre cipitated upon the floor of the convention a battle royal which, has not had a paral lel in state political conventions for many years. Since the Saratoga Convention of 1&00, when General Charles N. Bulger, of Os wego, representing Senator Hill, putting his finger almost under the nose of Rich ard Croker, denounced Tammany Hall and its politics, Tammany has waited as an organization to present Its compli ments to Mr. Hin, and although It Is per fectly apparent tonight that .the interests dominated by Mr. Hill control a large majority of the convention's vote, it is a foregone conclusion that such orators as Bourko Cockran, Thomas F. Grady, Charles A. Townp and Victor Bowling will be op the floor of the convention person ally to accuse Mr. Hill of attempting to wreck the party. These are not statements of mere spp posltlon, for, although leader Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany Hall, will not say a word tonight and although ex-Senator Hill is equally reticent, those who are ex tensively close to him tonight art- making definitely these assertions: Points at issue. First-On behalf of Mr. Hill, that unless Tammany withdraws what he calls a use less opposition to the Instruction of the state delegation for Judge Parker, Tam many Hall will be practically read out of the convention, delegations in Its favor outside of Manhattan refused a seat in the convention and Tammany as a body not allowed to name a National ddlegate-at-large. Second On behalf of Mr. Murphy, as representing Tammany Hall, that New TOrk has met defeat in National conven tions only when it has instructed its dele gations; that because of the fact that the party platform and policy are as yet vaguely defined, It Is -unwise to send an instructed delegation; that Tammany, casting the greatest proportion of the Democratic vote in the state, is entitled to name adejegate-at-large; that a Dem ocratic State Committee should not be elected at this convention, but the matter should wait until the Fall convention, when State Issues are dominant Murphy and Hill Confer. Mr. Murphy, with his Tammany lieu tenants, arrived in the city this afternoon and for nearly an hour was in conference with Senator H11L He presented Mr. Hill with the name of "W. Bourke Cockran, of New York, as Tammany's candidate for delegate-at-large. It Is understood that Mr. Hill Immediately asked his candidate for President of the United States, a re quest which Mr. Murphy parried by say ing that Tammany had no candidate, but firmly believed and would reiterate the belief in the convention tomorrow and at the National Convention at St Louis that it should not be compelled to name its candidate or bo instructed for any par ticular candidate until the platform was agreed upon and a proper man found who would be in accord with its issues. To this Senator Hill replied that it must be perfectly apparent to Mr. Murphy that almost two-thirds of the delegates to to morrow's convention would be in favor oi instructing for Judge Parker, and that Tammany should therefore gracefully accede-to the majority demand. If it did not Mr. Hill is qubted as saying that Tammany must take the consequences of its opposition, because the delegatcs-at-large must not Include any man uho might on the floor of the National Con vention repudiate the unit rule as adopted for instruction by the State Convention. Cockran Would B Turned Down. He intimated that in place of Mr. Cock ran a majority of the delegates might select, so as to be sure their Instructions for Judge Parker would be carried out August Belmont, -who had already pledged himself for Mr. Parker. "When Mr. Murphy loft Senator Hill's headquarters he was asked by the repre sentative of the Associated Press whether he would make a statement This he pos itively declined to do, but Senator Victor Dowling, who is his chief lieutenant said there was nothing done. "Senator HIJl positively declined to meet us half way, and the fight will go to the floor of the convention," said Senator Dowling, "whers, even though we may be In the minority, we shall by voice and action try to Impress the pcopje of the state that we are in the right" There was some discussion tonight as to the platform to be adopted. It Is said to have been Senator Hill's idea that the platform should deal extensively with state and National Issues, but "William F. Sheehan, speaking, It is believed, for Judge Parker himself, has won tonight a concession, so that the platform adopted tomorrow will be very brief, dealing not in any minute particulars, but generally, with the failures of the Republican party. State for Delegates-at-Large. It is understood that the delegates-at-large to the National Convention will be ex-Senator D. B. Hill, of Albany, and Ed ward Murphy, of Troy; August Belmont of New York, and James "W. Rldgeway, pf Brooklyn. The convention will be called to order by Chairman Campbell, of the State Com mittee, at 2 P. M., and after rputlno mat ters are settled it will be adjourned until 8 P. M., when Senator Raines will be per manent chairman. The battle on the floor of the convention will take place at the evening session. Chairman Campbell has received a re ply from Don M. Dickinson, of Detroit to his dispatch protesting against Mjr. Dickinson's statements relative to Judge Parker, In which Mr. Dickinson says he has already telegraphed Chief Justice Par ker withdrawing his published statement that Judge Parker participated in tho po litical campaign of 18SS, and offering his sincere apologies 'No Instructions In Pennsylvania. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 17. The Democratic State Convention for the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice and two Presidential clectors-at-large and the election of four delegates-at-large and four alternates to the National Convention will be held Tuesday. The indications are that the National dele gates will be unlnstructed and that they will be bound by the unit rule. National Committeeman James M. Guffey, State Chairman James K. Hall, ex-Governor Rqbert Pattlson and Robert E. "Wright will prdbably be elected delegates-at-large. Citizen Our town has very poor flre pro tection.

BUG EATS UP WHARF PILING. Resembles Water Flea and Works at Edge of Water. HOQUIAM, Wash., April 17. (Special.) Commissioner E. Davis recently went to Westoort and made an examination of the westport wharf. He finds the entire. piling of the wharf practically destroyed by a small bug resembling a water flea. Tho piling was put In but five years ago and now is ruined and will be replaced for safety. Mr. Davis found the bug hard at work. He cuts off the plies at low water mark, so that 18-Inch piling is found to be within a few inches of being entirely cut off. Cedar, which usually is proof against insects, has no terror for the bug, and he cuts this faster than fir. If well-driven piling Is to last but five years, it means some method must be found to save them or an endless expense is certain. The insect is known to scien tists as the llmlnolac, and Is said to be very destructive to wood of this kind. An effort will be made to find a remedy for the pest PLANK TAKEN FROM BRIDGE Three Are Precipitated Into the Columbia-One Badly Injured. MARCUS, "Wash., April 17. (Special.)

Tho high water which has been causing so much anxiety in the Grand Ronde for the past week has been going down last night and today, and, as the weather has "turned a great deal cooler, tho worst Is considered over. Thero Is still a great deal of water In the wheat fields in tho low land between Da Grando and tho Cove, and It depends entirely how long- It stands on the crop to what extent it will be injured. If it remains on the- land many days mora the crop inmany places will be almost an entire failure. Thero are hundreds of acres of the best wheat in Eastern Oregon covered by water. Trains going east from La Grande are tied up at Baker City on account of tho three bridges being washed out between there and Huntington, and La Grande will have but one train from the West and none from the East for a few days. Many oX the wagon roads are covered by water also. To 'go to and from the Cove, a distance of 16 miles, the people are compelled to go around the foothills the entire way, making a very long trip. The same condition prevails on nearly all the roads. LOSS OF TRIUMPH CONFIRMED Schooner Diana Also Still Missing, Reports "Queen City. YICTQRIA. B. C, April 17.

While playing at the bottom of a ravine near Northport, "Wash., Lisle Humphrey, 8 years of age, was caught by a landslide and burled. He was dead when taken out STICKS TO LAW. (Concluded on Paso Four.) sons, the application was considered Im practicable, unwise, unjust or unneces sary. "These cases are explained In detail In the annual reports of the Civil Service Commission. They were usually made on the recommendation of a Cabinet officer and with the approval of the commission. In all of these cases tho person was ex cepted, and not the position. "Thjs has been found by experience to bo much the better plan. If, for instance, the position of coachman had been ex cepted generally, and not the particular man, It would be found that the number of coachmen would Increase, and many exceptions would crop up Instead of one. "The statement of Representative Hay that during tho administrations 6f Presi dents Cleveland and Harrison there were no suspensions of the rules and only three during the Administration of McKInley, while In Roosevelt's Administration there havo been CO, leads to a most erroneous inference. Former Method of Procedure. "Under previous administrations ex ceptions were not usually made by means of suspensions of tho rules, but by means of changes In the rules, thus excepting certain classes of positions from com petitive examination. From time to time Presidents Cleveland, Harrison and Mc KInley excepted from competition hun dreds of positions which had been com petitive. "On, ono .occasion alono (May 29, 1S99) 8017 such places were excepted. But theso exceptions were not In the main in the form of suspensions of the rules, -which were tho only matter called for by the House resolution. President Roosevelt however, made them in the form of such suspensions for tho express purposo of limiting their number. "Moreover, prior to April 15, 1903. thero was a provision allowing appointments without examination where the position to be filled required such peculiar quali fications in respect to knowledge and ability or such scientific or special at tainments, wholly or In part professional or technical, as are not ordinarily ac- 'qulred in the executive service of tho United States. Under this provision President MoKinley mads 21 appointments and President Roosevelt only five. In stead of making appointments of this kind under a general rule. President Roosevelt preferred to deal each case separately by a suspension of the rules, and several of the 33 appointments re ferred to are of this character, as, for Instance, that of a cable engineer In the signal service in tho Philippines. Many MoreTake Examinations. "During the last year 46S8 more ap pointments were made through thorough competitive examination than In the previous year and 3007 more appointments were made in thAt year than in the year before. Under President Roosevelt about 40,000 positions havo been added to the classified service. "Heretofore extensions of the classified service have usually taken place near the close of an Administration, and the exceptions made soon after the new Ad ministration commenced. But president Roosevelt at the very beginning of his Administration began to extend the num ber of competitive positions and to strengthen tho rules. He also dealt out summary justice to offenders, several of whom held high position in his own party." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, the Best Mode. "In my opinion. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is wie best made for colds," says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Portervllle, Cali fornia. .There Is no doubt about its being the best. No other remedy will cure a cold so quickly. No other Is so sure & preventive of pneumonia. No other Is bo pleasant and safe to take. These am gocd reasons why It should be preferred to any othen The fact Is that few people are satisfied with any other after having once .used this remedy. For sale by all druggists.
