Finallyithe beef- house caught fire and the firemen were powerless to stay the greedy flames as they ate their way into the building through the bridge. When it was seen that the entire plant was in imminent danger of complete de- struction more aid was called for, and the entire force on the ground was turned to saving the beef warehouse. In a short time the building and contents were saved, and the firemen concentrated their efforts on the storage building, which was burn- ing fiercely. A heavy wind coming up caused the flames to burn with renewed fury, and within twenty minutes the roof fell in and soon thereafter the south and west walls toppled over. But a little time elapsed be- fore the building was a complete wreck. The three-story smoke house is separ- ated from the st building by thirty feet, a small one-story building standing between them. This was soon blazing. The wind veered to the east before much damage was accomplished here, however, and the building was saved. At 10:45 o'clock the fire was bronght under control, but as a heavy wind was blowing the firemen were avoid any possibility of the fire spre 2. ‘" The entire plant is valued at §$600,000, while the estimate placed on the stock ranges from $800,000 to $1,000,000.

Tne Recent Withdrawal of Reciprocity Followed by Notification. WASHINGTON, March 24.—There is an intimation of the levying of import tax on American imports into Jamaica in a copy of the annual message to the Legislative Councit of the Governor of that island, transmitted to the State Department by United States Consul Eckford, at Kings- ton. The significant part reads as follows: “The withdrawal of the Government of the United States of America from the re- ciprocal agreements with this colony, en- tered into in 1891, and the reimposition of the duty on sugar, leaves us free to restore to our tariff scme of the sources of revenue abandoned under that arrangement.” ——— Prominent People Dead.

NEW YORK, March 24.—St. Mark’s Methodist Episcopal Church was crowded to-day by colored people to attend the memorial services in honor of the late Frederick Douglass, under the auspices of St. Mark’s Lyceum. The services were impressive and were opened by a prayer by the Rev. Ernest Lyon, pastor of the church. Dr. J. E. E. Rankin of Howard Univer- r, Washington, read a eulogy in which he referred to Douglass as being to the Afro-Americans what Washington and Lincoln were to the Anglo-Americans, BUSINESS 1N THE SOUTH, LUMBER HAS TAKEN ON NEW Ac- TIVITY, BUT PRICES ARE INCHANGED. NEW INDUSTRIES STARTED IN TEN- NESSEE, KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA CHATTANOQOGA, Tenn., March 24— Reports from all over the South for the week ending March 22, received by the Tradesman, Chattanooga, say that more favorable weather has improved the con- dition of business. The revival in lumber manufacturing is quite noticeable, but while prices are firm the advances in values expected by some operators have not béen made as yet. Butatno time in the past year haye inquiries been so general as at present, both for home ana foreign ship- ments. New cotton mills and the enlargement of existing ones continue to be reported from several States representing the interest taken in cotton manufactures by local investors. Iron prod.ction in the sonthern territory continues to be active, with somewhat of an increase in the demand at unchanged quotations, building prospects requiring the use of iron and steel are now better season is anticipated. Business is falling off somewhat among the cozal producers, but no lessening of the output is reported. Collections are good for the season. Merchants are buying carefully and stocks of goods are kept low with no disposition to increase in advance of the daily de- mands of local trade. . Advances to planters with which to make a crop will be made with much cau- tion this year, there being a general under- standing among merchants that the prac- tice should be discouraged. Among important new industries estab- lished or incorporated in the Southern States during the week is a $300,000 im- provement and development company to do business in Tennessee; a $100,000 tele- phone construction company a Louisville, Ky., and a $100,000 hat factory at Wheel- ing, W. Va. Flouring mills are to be built at Mineral Wells, Tex., and Point Pleasant, W. Va.; ice factories at Jonesboro, Ark., Columbus, Ga., Brownsville, Tenn., and Radford, Va. s INDIANA BURGLARS CAUGHT. An Extensive Raid in Fort Wayne Re- sulting in Important Arrests. FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 24.—The biggest catch of burglars ever made in Northern Indiana was made to-day. For six months burglars, highwaymen and cracksmen have plied their work here, also at Wallen, Cherubusco and Huntington, looting twenty or more stores. Captain Borgman and police surrounded the entire gang in a house here and captured them. Among them were George Dolan and Wil- liam Thompson, pals of the notorious Mar- vin, Jack Guy, Henry Lacy, Adolph Rey- king and a locksmith. One confessed to thirty jobs. The house has thousands of dollars’ worth of property in it. A Saw Garza Killed. MILWAUKEE, March 24 — Hugh Schultz returned to-night from Bocas del Toro, Colombia, where he saw Garza, the Mexican bandit, killed, He says the at- tacking forces had stormed the armory and driven the Gevernment forces into the sea, when Garza was shot leading a charge. His body was pinned to the ground with bayonets after he fell. S Historical Instructor. SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 24.—Rev. C. H. Rischell, pastor of the Central M. E.

LONDON, March 34.— The British steamer Storm King, from Antwerp to Boston, was in eollision Saturday with the Tralian bark Giuseppe, from Savannah February 14 for Hamburg. The accident occurred off Dungeness during a heavy fog. The Giuseppe was so badly damaged that she sank, but not until the steamer had rescued her crew. The bows of the Storm King were stove in and it was necessary for her to come to anchor. It is expected she will have to be partially disc harged in order to make repairs, —_— In Honor of Kossuth.

Evanston Mine Disaster Victims Buried With Honors. CHURCHES ALL CROWDED. | The Bodies Had to Be Arranged Along the Aisles to Admit the Mourners. THIRTY-TWO IN ONE PLACE. Only Two of the Deceased Carrled Insurance on Their Lives In Societies. EVANSTON, Wyo., March 24.—Walter Miller, the last of the victims of the coal mine disaster at Red Canyon on the 20th, was found last night. The sixty-one who met their death on the same day were laid to rest to-day with most impressive cere- monies. There were thirty-two buried from the Mormon church alone? where the services were conducted by Bishop Bowers of Almy, assisted by Bishop Brown of Evanston and eminent dignitaries of the Mormon church from Salt Lake, including Franklin D. Richards, church historian, John Henry Smith, one of the twelve apos- tles, and Seymour B. Young and Edward Stephenson, two of the seven presidents. Bishop Cluff of Coalville also assisted. The church is the largest in ®Uintah County, but was insuflicient to accommo- date one-third of the people who attended. It was sttempted to take the coffined bodies of the dead into the church, but after thirteen were carried in it was found that all of them would occupy so much space that there would not be enough room to seat the.mourners, and the bodies were moved out again and arranged in rows at the side of the church. Such a scene hasjrarely been witnessed anywhere and it required the utmost ef- forts of Bishop Cluff ana Apostle Smith to hush by words of comfort and consolation the sobs of widows, mothers and children so that the exercises might proceed. All these were buried at the Mormon cemetery | at Red Canyon. The Fins were buried from their own chapel in their own burying ground. The Rev. Leppert conducted the services for those of the Methodist faith, the Rev. Father Fitzgerald of the Evanston Catholic Church for those of his faith, while the Rev. F. E. Beggs of the Evanston Metho- dist Church, preached the funeral sermon at the Opera-house over the remains of O. Maltby, who was buried with Masonic honors. Fred Morgan was buried by the A. 0. U. W., of which order he and Mr. Maltby were members, carrying $2000 insurance, the only two insured out of the whole sixty-one. Following is an accurate and complete list of the dead: 2 James B.

CUBAS FIGHTING NATIVES, THE PEOPLE Do NOT FAVOR THE PRESENT STATE OF AFFAIRS. Two AMERICANS ARE UNDER AR- REST, BUT ARE BEING LOOKED AFTER. TAMPA, Fla.,, March 24.—The steamer Olivette arrived to-night from Havana, bringing a number of passengers from the eastern end of the island. They were able to give mpre authentic accounts of the Cuban insurrection than any yet received. Among them was a man who had been at Manzilla from January 8 to March 17, ex- cepting occasional ts to the interior. He states the uprising occurred simul- taneously throughout the province of Santiago February 24. Next day General La Chambre arrived at Guantanamo from Santiago with 200 Spanish soldiers, return- ing to Santiago on the 26th with a part of the same troops. His reason was un- known, but it was supposed that he feared a trap. The chief of the rebels around Guantanamo is Henry Brooks, nephew of Richard Brooks of Santiago and Guan- kano. About thirty miles from Santiago, near El Cobre, four Spanish troops were, on March 15, ambushed by an insurgent band under command of Pallaci. The Span- iards’ loss was exceedingly heavy. They were routed, and the Cubans notified the Spanish authorities to send for the dead and wounded. The number of the Cuban band is not knewn. Around Canto River section the whole country is under the tramp of rebellion. Bands are marching . toward Las Unas de Victoria and Puerto Principe, growing stronger as they proceed. A strong band of insurgents are on the northern coast daily, expecting an expedition from the United States. The insurrection movement does not ap- pear to be received with favor by the peo- ple, who are moving into the cities. All kinds of work are suspended. A small gunboat was patrolling the coast near Cape Cruz March 16, and no- ticed a ship’s yawl heading for them. It proved to contain two German sailors who wanted water. They claimed to be fisher- men from San Domingo, being blown from that coast by heavy southeastern gales. They were sent to Santiago and put in jail, where were also two Americans, found in the same manner two weeks previously. The American and German Consuls both have the matter before them. The passenger mentioned isan Ameri- can-Cuban, and gives a truthful account of the situation. ny incidents mentioned h; is acquainted with by personal knowl- edge. 5 —_— - Buried by a Landslide. LONDON, March 25.—A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says that a land- slide that occurred near Titel, in Southern Hungary, destroyed a hotel and caused a large loss of life. Twelve bodies have been recovered, and it is believed that many others are still buried. —— SPANISH N4VAL ORDERS. Vessels to Be Sunk Under the 01d Stipulations. MADRID, March 24.—In an article in reference to the Allianca affair the Epoca publishes the notes that were exchanged between Spain and the United Statesin 1855, when the latter country contended that the Spanish man-of-war Ferrolana searched the American mail steamer EL Dorado on the open sea at a distance of over eight miles from the Cuban coast. The question was settled amicably. The Epoca adds that a copy of thein- structions then sent tothe warships gnard- ing the Cuban coast ordered, firstly, that Suspicious vessel it was to follow her until her cargo and intentions were ascertained, and sec- ondly, whenever & suspicious vessel en- tered Cuban waters the warship, if power- ful enough, should search her, seizing or sinking her 1f she resisted when there was proof that she was on a filibustering expe- dition.

Mr. Moore was the inter- mediary in the now more or less famous dispute between Mr. Whistler and Sir William Eden, growing out of the refusal of the former to deliver a portrait he had painted of Sir William’s wife. Mr. Moore ignored the challenge and Mr. Whistler has written to his seconds regarding his dealings with what he calls “‘a runaway.” - President of the Reichstag.

A New Organization Will Work for the Public Weal, There has been organizing in this city a famous Fabian Club of London. The members will hold their third meeting to- Eddy street. The persons who are responsible for the introduction of this London idea are al- most entirely from the ranks of charity workers, and include: Mrs, Dr. Thrasher Mrs. Theall, A. H. Sanborn and T. H, Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson is president of the club. “The mission of the club,” said Mrs. Theall yesterday, ‘“is to better the condi- tion of humanity as far as it is within our power. We intend to take up all classes of work, though the question of providing occupations for the unemployed will be the first matter handled. We will take that subject to the next Legislature, and we hope to make such a showing as will cause that body to pass a law that will, in a measure at least, ameliorate the condi- tion of California’s unemployed. Theclub hopes, also, to improve the moral atmos- phere of the community, and. in fact, han- dle vigorously any subject that will benefit the public at large.” The Fabian body, i ship being limited to thirty.

A Computation Shows It to Have Been About $77,521,663,936. The cost of Solomon’s Temple and its in- terior decorations and other paraphernalia was one of the wonders of olden times. Accorging to Villalpandus, the “talents” of gold, silver and brass used in the con- struction were valued at the enormous sum of $6,879,822,000. The worth of the jewels is generally placed at a figure equally as high. The vessels of gold, according to Josephus, were valued at 140,000 talents, which, reduced to English money (as has been shown by Chapel’s reduction tables), was equal to £575,296,203. The vessels of silver, according to the same authorities, were still more valuable, being set down as worth £649,344,000. Priests’ vestments and robes of singers, £2,010,000; trumpets, £200,000. To this add the expense of building ma- terials, labor, etc., and we get some won- derful figures. Ten thousand men hewing cedars, 60,000 bearers of burdens, 80,000 hewers of stone, 3300 overseers, all of which were employed for seven years, and upon whom, besides their wages, Solomon be- stowed £6,733,997. If their daily food was worth two shil- lings each, the sum total for all was £63,- 877,088 during the time of building. The materials in the rough are estimated as haying been worth £2,545337.000. These several” estimates show the total cost to have been £17, 442,442,168, or $77,521,665,036 in United States money.—Baitimore Herald. ‘What in a Name?

THE CASE IS PRESSING. It Will Be Out of the Ordinary Groove to Hand Down an Opinion Quickly. THIS A SPECIAL OCCASION. The Three Weeks for the Law to Take Effect May Change the Action. WASHINGTON, March 24.—The ses- sions of the United States Supreme Court will terminate on Monday, but as Monday is the day of the week on which the court usually hands down decisions there are some who think that a decison may be given then on the income tax case. It is understood that the members of the court have been in consultation concern- ing the case, and while it would be most unusual for them to come to a conclusion in so important a matter so soon after the conclusion of the argument it is concluded that the exigencies of the Government are such that a special effort will be made in the present instance. It is conceded by those who advance the idea that it would be too much to expect that an opinion giving a reason for a de- cision could be presented on Monday, but it is thought possible that the court might announce its decision as to the constitu- tionality of the law then and reserve the preparation of the decision for a time of | greater leisure. This course is occasionally pursued toward the end of a term, but it is not believed to be at all probable that it will be followed in the income-tax case. ‘There still remains, after Monday, three weeks before the law shall go into effect, And it is argued that the decision will be postponed till the 8th of April without putting the Government to especial incon- venience. Thase most familiar with the Supreme Court say that the court would not be in- clined in a case of so much impostance to reach a verdict, either favorable or unfavor- able to the law, without at the same time giving its reason for it. There appears to | be a growing belief that the law will be | sustained by the court when the decision | is announced, and members of Congress, | both among those who advocate and those | who opposed the law when it was before Congressasa part of the tariff bill, gen- erally express themselves to this effect. | They appear to have faith that the court | will be loath to interfere with the preroga- tive of the law-making power to provide means of securing revenue. Lawyers generally hold that the Moore case will be thrown out on the technicality that a col- | lector cannot be enjoined from enforcing a | law. This point has been several times | decided in the court and it seems quite uniformly against proceedings in that way. ‘WANTS THE BOULEVARD. |THE QUESTION OF BONDING THE County Is CoMING UP DEFINITELY. WHEELMEN IN THE CIiry WILL GrapLy BooM THE Bic PROJECT. That magnificent project of building a | wide and finely macadamized boulevard | from San Francisco to Sau Jose is at last taking tangible form. There are prospects that determined, organized efforts to carry out this incomparable improvement scheme will be under way all along the | line before a great while. The next meeting of the Board of Super- | visors of San Mateo County will be held on { the first Monday in April, and at that | meeting a number of citizens of San Mateo and some members of the Burlingame Club will urge the Supervisors to place before the people a proposition to bond the county for about $100,000 to build the boulevard through San Mateo County. The Supervisors are reported to be favor- ably disposed toward the enterprise. Public sentiment through;San Mateoand Santa Clara connties is rapidly growing more enthusiastic in favor of an improve- ment which would soon become world- famous, increase the value of every lot and acre between San Francisco and San Jose; advertise widely that rich and beau- tiful region, and rapidly increase the popu- lation, wealth and development of the long stretch of country which it would run through. Itis being generally urged and conceded that the boulevard would soon repay its cost many times over, and that the increase in population and taxa- ble values which it would bring would ren- der the taxation necessary to carrying a bonded debt so light as to be hardly no- ticeable. The boulevard is not likely to be seri- ously considered in San Francisco until the project has taken shape in the neigh- boring counties and_ is presented as a definite and practical issne here. When that time comes, as it seems likely to, it will find many. strong champions and robably but few opponents. Mayor Sutro, gresident Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association and others have expressed hearty indorsement of the scheme in the columns of the Cary and described the shameful situation of San Francisco in not having an endurable roadway out of the city, while a little to the south lies one of the fairest regions of the coast. If instead of a stretch of hillsand two terrible roads an attractive driveway made this home of beauty accessible San Francisco people would flock there for suburban homes ana would in fine weather J)Olil' out of the city by the aid of every kind of wheel. As this boulevard will enter the city by way of the {urk whenever it comes, the building of the new racetrack and its ac- companying improvements ut Ingleside at & cost of $400,000 is a promising circum- stance in its aid. The new racetrack wili be right on the natural route of the great boulevard. From the south entrance of the park to Ingleside a better or more at- tractive roadyva{etl_mn the present Alms- house road will be important to the success of the new racing and pleasure resort. The boulevard would be the one thing needed to popularize the new racetrack. From Ing‘):side south to the county line the route is easy and attractive, and one-half the right of way through the Spring Valley Con:A)any’s Merced ranch is already as- sured. Nobody has taken or will take more in- terest in the new boulevard than the thousands of cyclists in San Francisco. ‘When the opportunity comes their voices will be heard ‘and their influence felt in its favor. With no other class will it enlist more quick-and enthusiastic co-operation. There are in San Francisco about 5000 cyclists. For 3 pleasant run they must go to the park or cross the bay. Miles of bad wheeling bar them from the delightful spin afforded by the San Jose road from aden south. A few brave the ordeal and some go with their wheels by train to Milbrae. The boulevard wi uld give a new boom to cycling and woulé re daily lined with hundreds of city wheels. Len D. Owens, president of the Atna Mineral Water Company and a promi- nent wheelman, said : ‘‘Of course, every wheelman will say at once, ‘For heavan's sake build it,” but I don’t know much about it from a practical standpoint. There is no question that it would be a magnificent thing that would greatly boom suburban residence that way and develop the towns. and the resources of the country. The wheelmen have now only the park for an outing. I know that they would take hold of the project enthu- siastically, for they are always and every: Where active in the interest of %ood roads. Captain Thornton of the Olympic Club Wheelmen says that the idea has been en- thusiastically talked of among the wheel- men. “Now the boys nearly always cross the bay to ride to San Jose,” he said. “Often they take their wheels by train to San Mateo and ride from there on. To wheel south by the Mission road is a tough expe- rience, for it is sandy and hilly and full of ruts and stones for every rod. The San Bruno' road requires thirteen miles of wheeling to get to a good level, and the route takes one past tanneries, slaughter- houses and all sorts of disagreeable things besides. Much of the way one has to ride fast to escape the stench.” I am sure that a united organized effort to aid the enter- prise would quickly be made by the wheel- men of the city.” President F. H. Kerrigan and_George P. Wetmore of the Bay City Wheelmen say that not only would the or- ganized wheelmen of the city unite to give the most vigorous aid possibe to the pro- ject, but that the unorganized wheelmen would give it as hearty support in any way possible, New York is, at this late day in its his- tory, spending $20,000,000 in building a magnificent speedway five miles long along the northern shore of Manhattan Island, though it has many magnificent boulevards in the city and leading far into the surrounding country from the waters that surround it. The present project would give this city its second attractive driveway and its first means of easy com- munication across its boundaries on land. REV.DR. MACKENZIE RESIGNS THE FACT THAT HE HELD TWo APPOINTMENTS WAS THE MAIN CAUSE. ) Given THE CHolce oF His CHURCH OoR His San ANSELMO CHAIR. The resignation of Rev. Dr. Robert Mac- kenzie as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church on Van Ness avenue and Sacra- mento street is in the hands of the church session. This step, though it will fall with the shock of surprise upon the public, is the natural climax of the relations between pastor and people. For some time past these have been becoming more and more strained, although the influence and esteem commanded by ““the doctor’” among individual members of the church is un- questioned. The main difficulty has been Dr. Mac- kenzie's tenure of two appointments—the chair of apologetics at the Theological Seminary at San Anselmo, pear San Ra- fael, and the pastorate of the First Presby- terian Church.

Mackenzie to write his lectures for the seminary and preach once every Sunday in San Francisco. Still the people were not satisfied and an indication of the feeling was said to have been manifested in the doctor’s recent trip to New York, where Le was considered asa candidate for the pastorate of the West Presbyterian Church. This appointment, however, he failed to secure, and having been notified that he must choose between the two appointments held by him here, he has chosen to resign his pastorate. Dr. Mackenzie's high ability as an or- ganizer and financier are, however, fully recognized by the church and he will be unanimously tendered the office and title of pastor emeritus by the session upon his retirement.
