Wash.. March 20. The hop crop of 1900 has been sold, and contracts are being made for the output of Yakima for the com ing season. Buyers from Portland are her cleaning up the remnants of last year. They report only 43 !nlcs of tl;e crop of 1900 on hand. Hie Lst sales ranged about 14 cents, although some have boon made at IS cents a pound. The indications ..re lavorame tor a gooa crop uus year. All the yards are being cleaned and put In shape. Estimates place the Yakima acreage at 2,400, yielding an average of 1,600 pounds. One of the most important Items for the consideration of hop men Is the introduction of the Bohemian methods of curing In the Yakima val ley. Senator A. Helnrich, of the Se attle Brewing & Malting Company, conducted a series of experiments last season, and demonstrated that an exact imitation of the celebrated Bohemian hops could be made in Yakima. The hops were cured with out artificial heat or sulphur, and were used in making a choice blend of Yakima beer. It Is claimed that i sum uufa ant tu rvalue lur 01 vt-iua a pound.

' however, are selling at any price. No new yards are to be planted this : season, anu none win oe piowe.i un lor , other crops. Growers state that ho? ! may be produced and prepared for j market for 8 cents per pound. When; sold at 11 cents they make fair profit, but it Is believed the price will rule higher this fall; hence those having laren vanU r noi rn!nn In eon- tract the coming crop for less than 15 cents.

March 19, Dur ing the progress of a fire today at tlut corner of Duquesne Way and Fort street, one man lost his life and three others were badly nurt. The property loss will be fully 250.000, well lusured. The fire broko out in the boiler room of the lllrnm W, French Company's hair felt factory, Just opposite the main exposition building. Through Home confusion, no alarm was turned In for wo me time, and it wits fully 20 minutes after the flro was discovered before the engines reached the scene. From the felt fuctory the flames jumped across the street, and in a very short time the exposition build ing wnburnlng fiercely. All the fire men could do was to prevent the flumes spreading. After hard work, this was accomplished, and machinery hull, with Its valuable contents, suved. The main building wus a complete w reck. Two lumber yards adjoining the felt factory soon succumbed. Gallagher & Hanker lost 1,000,000 feet of lumber, and Henry Henk 350.000 feet of valu able hardwood. Three small dwell ings near the lumber yards were de stroyed, but, so far as known, all the Inmates escaped. William Miller snd his fellow fire men were victims of a live wire. The Intense heat molted the network of wires running In every direction, and one of them in fulling struck a trolley wire, the other end crossing the brass nozzle of the hose held by Miller and Snyder. Both men foil as though they had been shot. Sheckler and Griffith, In going to the rescue, were also caught, and were badly burned. When the prostrate men were reached, Miller was dead, snd two of the others unconscious. AMERICAN CONSUL ARRESTED. Imprisoned by Venezuela Without Adequate Cause. PORT OF SPAIN. Trinidad. March 19.

It appears that several sums of money have been forced from him by Venezuelan of ficials under threat of imprisonment. The protests of Mr. Balz to Wash ington seem to have met with no re sponse thus far. Three months ago Mr. Looiuls, the United States minis ter at Caracas, made a demand upon the Venezuelan government for an apology for the first outrage, but this communication was quite Ignored. 8TATE OF 8IEGE PROCLAIMED.

Ill Vigorous Protest to the Vene zuelan Government MAS BEEN LODGED BY MINISTER LOOMIS American Minister Informi South Americas Government That Interfcrentt with Our OlllcUli Muit Ceic WASHINGTON, March 20. The state department, through Minister loomls, recently lodged n most vig orous protest to the Venezuelan gov ernment against further Interference with Mr. BuU, the United states consular agent at Barcelona, Vene xuelii. It knows nothing of the last reported Infringement of his liberty, but It Is presumed that the affair le connected directly with the troubles which led to the first protest. lg naclo M. Bals Is not a citizen of tho United States, a fact that may add to the difficulty which our government will expect In protecting him, as it is determined to do. He was born In St. Thomas and Is a native Danish citizen, so far as Is known hero, but, having an exequatur Issued by the Venezuelan government recognizing him ss a United States consular agent, the state department has decided that he Is entitled to the protection of the United States government. It appears that he Is engaged In business and be came Involved In trouble with the Venezuelan military by resisting an attempt to collect a forced loan from hi in. More than a month ago the state department forwarded Its In structions to Minister Ixomls to rep resent to the Venezuelan government that these annoying Interferences with our officials must cease, but so far no results have appeared. Morocco Must Psy. Washington. March 20. The state department Is giving renewed atten tion to the settlement of the claims ssalnst the government of Morocco. The claim of Marcus Kxagul, who was murdered at Fei In June last, has been adjusted by the payment of $5,000, but there are other claims equally meritorious which have not been satisfactorily adjusted. Recently the state department gave these con sideration, all efforts on the part of Mr. Oummere, the consul-general at Tangier, to adjust them having proved Ineffective. Under these circum stances, a special mission seems near. Instructions to this end today were sent to Mr. Oummere. as well as a further instruction to demand an apology for an apparent discourtesy on the part of the grand vizier snd the minister of foreign affairs in attempt ing to defeat the purpose of the state department to dispatch a special mis sion to Morocco City. The armored cruiser New York, with Admiral Rogers aboard. Is rapidly nearlng Gi braltar, with every prospect of reach ing Tangier by tho end of this week. She will take Mr. Oummere aboard and convey him to Mazargan. where the consul general will disembark nnd go overland to the Moorish capital. The New York will remain at Mazar gan under his orders until some sort of settlement Is reached, snd Mr. Oummere was today notified to this effect. Peru Settles a Claim. Washington. March 20.

Peru, cabled the state department today that the government of Peru had of fered to settle for 3,000 soles the Fowk.es claim, and he was Immediate ly Instructed to accept the offer. Tho claim originated ln 18D4. W. A. Fowkes wns an American merchant living at Tumbej, and the military authorities subjected him to a forced loan and Imprisoned him for 24 hours. A claim was preferred ngalnHt Peru for $5,000 on his account, but that government proffered 3,000 soIcb (a sole being equivalent to 48 cents), and the claimant expressed his wil lingness to accept that sum.
