The house oc- cupied by J. W. Whitney in the rear fac- ing Ellis street also caught fire, but grompt action prevented much ~ damage. t is estimated that the total damage done by vesterday's fire will amount to £0,000, partly covered by insur- ance. As night came the ruins became trans- | formed into fantastit silhouettes against the sky. They were viewed by thousands of people after the police lines were broken. The blaze had been subdued, and nothing but smoking and steaming tim- bers claimed the attention of the firemen. Overhead some of the spire supports | which had not come down with the first crash hung menacingly over the street endangering the lives of pedestrians and firemen. By order of Chief Sullivan the firemen dragged all dangerous parts of the burned structure into the interfor of the ruins. The work of totally ex- tinguishing the fire consumed many hours and the street was not cleared for streetcar traffic until a late hour. STRIKE IN LUMBER YARD. There was a small strike among the employes of the Unfon Lumber Company at Sixth and Channel streets yesterday, about a dozen tally men and drivers, designated as clerks, demanding their pay and walking out because of the re- 1 of their employers to increase their ges from $2 60 to $3 per day. Superin- tendent H. M. Cochran says the trouble does not amount to anything. “‘Some of the clerks (huugfit they were tled to more pay and demanded an in- crease of 50 cents a day,” said Mr. Coch- ran last night. “We declined to accede to their demands and they quit and were paid off. None of the men employed in the mill went out. We employ bétween fifty and sixty men, and the so-called strike will have no effect on our business. The mill is still running.” —_———— ‘Will of Moritz Daeweritz Filed. The law department of A. M.

The Pension Commissioners of the Po- lice Department met last night and re- tired Bergeant Avan of the Harbor sta- tion, Daniel Libbey and Dennis Hayden of the Southern station and Patrick Fleming and Charles Hall, also of the Harbor station.

The authorities under- stand the condition of affairs and simply shrug their shoulders. They claim that they can do nothing and must let the matter take its course. It is the old fight.of the contractors against the city. The merchants that furnish supplies to the hospital have not been paid, and they have notified Mayor Phelan and-the Board of Supervisors that no more supplies will be furnished until the bills are paid. As there is no money with which to pay the bills and no pros- pect of obtaining any, the situation pre- sented is a serious one. The hospital is without coal, fresh meats and many very necessary drugs. These must be obtained or the charges of | Two explanations | are %wen for the failure of the city to pay the bills. On the one hand it is claimed that the dollar limit of taxation is far | inadequate for the proper administration !of the hospital and it is as easy to con- | duct it upon the present appropriation as |1t is to make one dollar do the service of |two. On the other hand, it is asserted the appropriation for the hdspital under the dollar limit is sufficlent and that gross | extravagance is responsible for the short- |age and the present predicament. | When the Supervisors were making pro- visional appropriations for the various | city and county departments under a ten- | tative levy which has been superseded by | the absolute one, the sum of $113,000 was | appropriated provisionally for the main- | tenance of the City and County Hospital.

This is the cause of the deficiency and the reason why the merchants have not been paid. The Mayor cries extravag- ance and ‘the Supervisors reply that th the dollar limit is inadequate to the proper administration of pu blic municipal affairs.

Early yesterday morning the thief was discovered entering a tent and the sentr: ordered him to halt. Unmindful, he too to his heels. The sentry fired two shots at him, but failed to bring him down.
