It It looks as If the work dona by the executive com mittee of the National Association of Railways Postal Clerks will bear fruit at the present session of Congress. The recommendations of the Postmaster-Gerr-eral do sot en brae any increase of. salaries, but do embrace a largely In creased force, so that at least the duties of the clerks will not be as strenuous as they have been In the past. The present law provides for 14,112 active clerks, while he recommends an Increase to 15,021 clerks, an increase of 912 men. OfVhese 14 will be J1500 men, 35 $1400, 19 J1300. 119 11300. 103 niOO, 391 $1000, 14S $900 and 84 800 men. - This embodies an Increase In salaries amounting: to approximately Jl,000,fl00. While there are no Increases whatever in the salaries of the different classes, it means promotion of many men. For in stance, 14 of the $1400 men will be advanced to $1500 a year; 33 $1300 men to $1400 a year; 19 $1200 men to $1300 a year, 119 $1100 men to $1200 a year; 103 $1000 men to $1100: 391 $300 men to $1000, and 34 $800 men to $900 a year.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14. Fire, started probably by an explosion in the base ment of the Sherwin Williams paint store, ISO South Main street, late this afternoon, spread rapidly to the upper floors of the building, to the Van Ness and York lodging-bousea, and a number of stores adjoining, and In 13 minutes had caused a loss of $25,000. In the two rooming-houses women ten ants became hysterical and rlaked their lives to save their possessions until they were taken out of the rooms by th firemen. Others had to be dragged off i the fire escapes which they had climbed to save their goods.
