CRUDE OIL TANKS EXPLODE Tin Starts in Hew Addition to Plant Crude Oil and Gasoline Tanks Ex plodeBrick Walls Prevent Spread i Fire. ALLOTMENT SAX FRAXCISCO, F.b. 22. About 1 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the central Mai ion of the San Fran cisco Gas & Electric Company, located on Joseph street, between Third and Fourth. The blaze started in a new addition to the building and new dyna mos were Wing installed when the fire started. The building contained a num ber of crude oil and gasoline tanks and explosion after explosion followed, but fortunately within heavy brick walls and none of the firemen was hurt. The new section of the building was gutted completely. ' The building was the source of electric light and power for the central portion of the city and all the down-town streets and buildings ara in darkness, save where gas fixtures are in working position. The fire aUo shut off all down-town telephone service and played havoc with the telegraph service ef the Western Union and Postal Com- j panics. Many wires running out of the city were reudered useless. It is impossible to make an approximate of the loss at present, but the damage will lie heavy, the burned buildings having been filled witfi the latent electrical ma chinery. It is expected that great in convenience will be felt in the city to day owing to the destruction of the power plant and wires. Lower Greets are served by auxiliary supply plants. ACTION DENOUNCED.

Many persons of Oregon and Wash ington who have at some time in pio neer day lost property through Indian depredations, are pressing to have their claims allowed. Some of these cite as precedents the success of other claim ants in recovering for losses sustained through the same Indian violence, and urge equitable recognition at the hands of Congress. Courts 1 tve hdjd in rojeentj years that depredations of Indians committed while in a state which has been styled ''amity," shall lie paid for( primarily by the government who ia the keeper of the Indians, and in some instances whciv Mich provisions is made therefor bv the Indians themselves after the government has acted. The whole que tion hinges on "amity" and 'hostility? As Indians were sometimes, committing depradations in the early part of a war like raid, before the government recog nized them as being hostile, such claims have leen allowed, where properly pre sented to the Court of Claims and pressed to trial. Bui a confusing fea ture of depredation oa-cs is the fact that the time when the government holds Indians to be in a state of hos tility, must be fixed arbitrarily, and has often been established after much de struction 01 property, itie result is that all lo-ses prior to this arbitrary time are recoverable, while those im mediately enuing are not. At the time of the last Bannock nut- bivak. many losses were sustained, for which claims have been filed. The Court of Claims in Marks et al vs. The I'nited State, held that the period of this hostility began late in May, 1878, and lasted until the Indians were sub dued, in October, of the same year. The effect of this ruling should be to define the period of hostility so that claim ants may know whether their losses were sustained while the Indians were in a state of amity or in a war with the government. There is little prospect of Arizona and New Mexico becoming a state joint ly, at this session of f.'ongiess. Already the feeling' of the Semte against bind ing them together in statehood is strong, as it is being made clear to the legislators of the npter branch that Arizona bitterly opposes such a course, and will fight it to the last ditcW. Arizona had far rather remain a terri tory for some lime to come, than be yoked with her p-i-trr. and the strong delegation working here has satisfied the Senate of that fact. Xo ninttci what is the -eiitimcin from other quar ters, the Senate will not force state hood upon Arizona under r-m-h circum stance j. Oregon' delegation leans toward this view strongly. Senator Fulton has ex-pre.-ed him-elf repeatedly to the steering committee, and Senator Gearin i a No undeistod to be against forceful jointure, as the divorce court for states is slower than the mills of the gods.

Caccre, evpresident of Peru, who has just arrived in this city from Lima, spoke enthusiastically last night of the rec.nl industrial growth of the republic and said: "The future of Peru is centered in the I'nited States and we hope for even closer relations."

After a brief stay in France he will proceed to his K)st in Rome. The ex-president spoke at some length about Peru, saying in part: "Our country has enjoyed a long term of political tranquility, and the indus tries are showing the gratifying result of hard work. "The advantages of t lie I'limtma canal arc duly appreciated by my people and will prove a great impetus to the coin- meice of Peru. There bus been organ ized in Peru 11 steamship line which will begin operations next month and will cut the trip from Callao to Xew York by about four days. 'Our relations with our neighbors are oniirily friendly, notwithstanding re. ports. The dispute with Ecuador over territory has also been submitted to arbitration, the King of Spain to act a arbitrator. The territorial dispute be tween Peru and Bolivia will be submit ted to the President of Argentina. The only question with any of our neighbors that has not been disposed of is that with Chile over the Tacna and Arico territory. But diplomatic relations be tween the two countries have been renewed." NO. 1 With every Men's Suit or Overcoat un der $16.
