Given Severe Test By the Fire. ONE FIREMAN INJURED Many Guests of the Hotel Were Scantely Clad When They Reached the Street PRINTING HOUSES GUTTED Tbf Wind Drova the Flames Direct ly Against the Sixteen-Story Bank Building Which Formed Complete Barrier to Spread of the Fire. CHICAGO, III., January 27.-Fan-tied by a forty-mile gale, a fire which broke out in the Hotel Flor ence, 163 Adam ttreet, early today, scattered burnina ctnberi ftbutit the aouthern portion of the loop district, endangering a score of itructurci and i.l iiiniwi causing loss caimwivv a Twenty guests of the hotel, which wet a four-story structure, were, roused from their beds by policemen and firemen. All of the inmates arc believed to have escaped. Adjoining the burning structure on the cast is the partially completed 16 atory building of the Corn Exchange National Bank. The new skyscraper was given a severe test but with the execution of ionic temporary wood work," resisted the flames successfully. .Two members of the fire department were struck by boarls which fell from burning scaffolding on the 15th floor of the bank building. One of them, Edward Wakefield, a truckman, was knocked unconscious. The other Herbert Scanlon, a pipeman, escaped ith slight bruises. The wind drove the flames directly against, the bank structure which formed a complete barrier to the spread of the fire, but at the same time acted as a chimney to. carry 'burning brands, sparks, and embers hundreds of feet into the air. During the height of the .conflagration i flaming cascade of sparks poured up oh the Rookery building at La Salle and Adams streets and upon 3 the Board of Trade, Grand Pacific Hotel, Illinois Trust Savingsc Bank, Western Union, Home Insurance and other big structures. Some of these buildings were erected so long ago that their fire proof qualities are a matter of doubt and detachments of firemen were sent out to keep watch upon them. Some of the guests in the Grand Pacific Hotel were awak ened by the noise of the fire engines and the glare of the flames, but what ever fears they may have entertained were allayed by employees of the house. The fire started In the rear of the aecond story of the Hotel Florence, Before they were discovered they gained considerable headway and shortly after the firemen arrived the second and third floors and a portion f the rear wall fell. A six-story building adjoining the hotel on the vest caught fire and was partly gut- 'ted. It was occupied by six printing and two tailoring concerns, most of which suffered heavy damage. In three of the printing offices night shifts of employes were at work and these men were driven to the streets so hurriedly that many were forced to face the blizzard clad in the sleeveless garments of the sterotyp ing room, Many of the guests of the hotel were also scantily clad when they reached the street. They were eared for by the police. Despite the threatening nature of the fire, hard work by the firemen confined it to the two structures. The fight called for the complete fire department forces of the downtown and wholesale dis trict, and the men swarmed upon the roofs and fire escapes of adjoining structures, pouring tons of water up on the names from these vantage points. Two hours after the first alarm had sounded the flames were under control. TO DECLARE THEMSELVES STAMP ON JEWELRY. Natives of India Getting Uneasy. URGED TO OPEN REVOLT NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-What, it is said, will be the first Chinese Young Men's Christian Association in NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Many ath letes of national prominence are scheduled to participate in the Pas time Athletic Club's carnival in Madi son Square Garden tonight In the list of competitors are to be found the names of 10 champions, several for mer champions, a world's record holder and three holders of American records of entrants well known in the athletic world are those of J.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27,-Dis-trict Attorney Langdon hints ,that the defendants in the trolley cases know where the missing witness, Alec -Latham, has gone. 'Abraham Ruef flatly accuses the prosecution of having kidnapped his former chauffeur and adds that there is a sinister mo tive. v;7' :;i "It means more to the prosecution that it does to me to keep Latham out of the way," said Ruef today. "That is something which cannot be demon strated now, but I shall have facts to add in a day, or two which will give the public something to think about." NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The de fense in the Thaw case closed its case today with "Manic depressive" in sanity as an explanation of homicide. Tomorrow-the prosecution will begin evidence in rebuttal and the case will go to the jury Wednesday night or Thursday "noon. Jerome will tomor row apply for an appointment of a commission to take the testimony of Abe Hummel, who is in the peniten tiary on Blackwell's Island. Little ton said he would oppose such action, whereupon Judge Dowling said he would go to Blackwell's Island to morrow night in company with the defendant and his counsel to preside at the taking of Hummcl's testimony. The jury will not be taken. Thaw is delighted at the prospect of an out ing and smiled broadly at the court's suggestion., Jerome disappointed the room full of spectators when he re frained from last year's tactics in baiting defense's alienists, thf ee of whom, Drs. Wagner, Jelliffe, and Evans, declared that Thaw, when he killed White, did not know the nature of his act It was Judge Dowling who made the most important inquiry of the alienists. He desired to know if "Manic depressive" insanity was re current He also wanted, to know if a person suffering from this kind of insanity is likely to commit assaults. He learned that it is a re-current form of insanity that attacks a victim without warning, a period of insanity followed by maniacal outbursts, then by a period of complete depression and then by a lucid interval. 1 It seemed as if the judge was secur ing the information upon which to base a judicial action in case of a verdict of not guilty on account of in- santy or straight acquittal. For even in the latter event the judge could have Thaw committed for examina tion. The English surgeon, Dr. Syd ney R. Wells, first gave mention to "Manic depressive" or "Sub-cute mania." Wells diagnosed Thaw's case in 1899 when with a normal tem perature Thaw demanded the walls of the room to be torn down and that 20 tons of ice be put in the apartment to cool it Littleton's question which was an swered by the experts, was a com plete resume of the evidence, with the exception as Jerome pointed out of Smith's testimony The fourth and probably the last weqk of the trial of Harry, K. Thaw, charged with the murder of Stanford White begins today. In spite of the fact that the first trial required 12 weeks the present one, will, it is ex pected being elided in one third of that time. Much of the evidence in troduced at the first trial has been eliminated this time and with each side knowing what every witness would testify, to the examination of witnesses was much easier and much shorter. Today the 'defense will call to the stand four or five doctors and nurses, who attended Thaw during spell of illness there and will then call its insanity experts, to whom will be read the hypothetical question which Mr. Littleton has prepared and which is said to cotain some 15,000 words. To this question the alienists will reply that in their opinion Thaw waswhen he killed White, incapable of knowing the nature or quality of his act, or that the act was wrong, the legal definition of such insanity as excuses one from punishment for a crime. Mr. Littleton has stated that he believed the case would be com pleted before the end of the week. District Attorney Jerome has not indicated what witnesses he will call on rebuttal or what attempt he will make to combat the insanity defense, which has been set up. It is not be lieved, however, that the rebuttal tes timony will occupy any grit amount of time. Mr. Jerome will probably renew his attempt to have placed before the jury the sealed evidence taken before the lunacy commission last year, when it was decided that Thaw was not in such a mental state as to warrant his removal to an asylum at that time. Several attempts have been made by the district attorney to hare this testimony opened and read to the jury, but so far without avail. Justice Dowling is considering a motion for the opening of the testimony. SAILOR'S PROPERTY Daughter Supposed Her Father Died Penniless. LEFT MONEY IN THE BANKS Half Brother Discovered the Old Sailor Had Left an Estate Valued at $15,000 and Had Himself Ap pointed Administrator. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-A contest over the property left by i Stephen Thompson, an old sailor of the navy has developed through the application of his daughter, who has not seen him for 25 years prefious to his death, for the discharge of James M. Thompson as administrtor of the estate and the turning over of the money belonging to the estate to her. Until a short time ago she supposed her father to have died penniless. Thompson enter ed the navy in 1865 and served con tinuously until 1881, when he was transferred to the Brooklyn naval hospital where he died last August In 1877, while serving on the great lakes, he married a girl living in Erie She continued to live there and he saw her only at intervals between voyages. After he died, James M. Thompson, his half brother, discov ered that the old sailor had left an estate which is estimated to be worth $15,000, most of it in the shape of deposits an banks. He had himself appointed administrator and the daughter who now asks his removal says the first she knew of an estate left by her father was the the half brother's proposal to her that she take $5500 as her share and divide the rest among the fath er's half brothers and sisters. NEVADA POLICE BILL. CARSON CITY, Nev., Jan. ,27. The police bill passed the House to day, 31 to 7. The bill provides for a system of policing in time of riots that it is be lieved will quell all the trouble in the Goldfield section at the present time and place the state in a position to handle future contingencies that may arise Several members who were de vout union men made a fight in oppo sition to the bill Speaker Skaggs left his chair and voted. Skaggs de nounced the measure as pernicious and czar-like and predicted that the men who voted for it were digging their own political graves.

Father Knickerbocker is in a fair way to outstrip Uncle Sam for if the city's expenses continue to increase at their present rate it cannot be long before New York's financial opera tions overtop those of the national government Already the city's an nual statement involves sums far greater than those of many foreign countries, and its ever-growing gross funded debt is getting uncomfortably close to the billion dollar mark, threatening in time to exceed, the national debt itself. The last yearly budget calls for $143,000,000-the sum needed just for running the city. The gross funded debt is now $735,000,000 and the contract liabilities $70,000,000. The bonded debt has increased $118, 000,000 in the last two years and no one seems to know what the limit may be. Altogether New York may safely lay claim to the not altogether desirable distinction of being the first and only billion dollar city in the world, where incidentally the tax rate of the average family is about $175. Thus does a single city threaten to overshadow financially at least the whole federal government o J CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

The National Guard Association of the United States has been holding its annual convention at Boston, and had under consideration several subjects of importance to the people of the United States. This organization has been trying for 10 years to bring the National Guard up to the level of the regular force, and progress has been made in some of the states, though far from all that is desirable. In case of war the National Guard would be the first body of soldiery called out At cresent it consists of 107,578 train ed officers and men. The 65,385 regu lars added give a total force for im mediate service of 172,963 disciplined troops. What could be done in the way of volunteers reaches into mil lions, but this resource would not be at once available for the field. Recently, the State of Nevada call ed on the National Government for a body of regulars to enforce the laws of the state. Nevada does not sup port a single company of militia, nor could it furnish one in case of a for eign war. Its neglect of the National Guard has placed it in a humiliating position, but there are other states that are not much better off in militia matters. Massachusetts is a good state in which to hold the National Guard Convention. Its appropriations are regular and liberal. A part of its militia is organized and trained for coast defense. It is careful to see that its citizen soldiers get all that is con tingently offered by the National Government its regiments of na tional guards are generously treated by the public. The example is worthy, but few of the states have reached as high a standard.

Vincent, secretary of the Manufacturers' Asso ciation of the Northwest, Portland, Oregon, relative to the conduct of quarantine matters at Astoria. "In reply I have to inform you that the establishment of a quarantine sta tion at Fort Stevens is, impracicable, the present station having been estab lished by law in its present location and having since its establishment been regularly appropriated for in that location. "I have, however, to inform you further that arrangements have re cently been completed with the Life Saving Service by which the keeper of the Point Adams Life-Saving Sta tion reports by telephone the passing of all vessels from his station bound for Columbia River Ports, thus af fording timely notice of their expect ed arrival, and obviating delays which may have occurred in the past owing to the fact that vessels sometimes ar- J rive without warning, due, in many instances, to the heavy fogs which prevail in the locality and prevented the sighting of the vessels from the s shore it Astoria.

The iteamcr Costa Rica arrived at her dock at 11:30 yesterday from San Francisco, and left tip at I p .m. The new steamer Julia D. had a trial spin in the bay yesterday and behaved finely.

The ever welcome steamer Roanoke reached her dock yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p. m. from San Francisco and San Pedro. Capt Dunham reported an excellent trip, fine weather and an exceptionally smooth sea. The Roanoke has become known as the "lucky one," as on all her trips, or nearly all, she has fine weather. It is not known just how Capt. Dunham works it but it is a fact nevertheless that though other vessels may en counter bad weather the Roanoke manages to strike the good weather. This and the courteous treatment of the passengers by the officers and men mikes this vessel a popular one. On this trip she came up from Eureka in 25 hours, a fine record. The Alliance is due to leave for Coos Bay this morning. She has a full cargo and a good list of pas senger. The lightship No. 50 recently, dam aged by collision with the Port Pat rick, has been taken to Portland for repairs. It is thought that she will be ready to resume her station in about 10 days.

Over 750 tons of her cargo have been removed which will have to be re loaded. A diver from Portland ar rived on last night's train who will make an examination of the hull to day. It is thought that no damage has been done to the vessel. Owing to the death of Captain Lar kin, the Lurline did not arrive down last night until about j:30. A large number of passengers were awaiting her she left up at 8 o'clock, Captain Zumwalt in command. The steamer Arabia will probably leave out for Hong Kong and way ports today. Her cargo consist 45,679 barrel of flour valued at $164,335 and about 350 ton of wheat worth about $10,000. General merchandise and lumber make up the balance of her cargo. Special Communication. A special communication of Temple Lodge, No. 7, A. F. A. M., will be held at Masonic Hair at 7:30 this evening. Work in the F. C. degree. By order of W. M. An interesting service was held on the British ship Claverdon Sunday afternoon by Chaplain F.llctsen. The, following young ladies assisted In singing: Miss F.llefsen, Miss Steven son. Miss Nelson, Miss McCrea and Mrs. Gaston, Miss Bertha Stevenson sang a solo which was greatly ap preciated by the sailors. The ladle of the W. C. T. U. are making comfort bg (in sailor lan guage "biddy bags"), in which is put needles, thread, button, toothbrush, a small Testament or Bible. To a sailor this means much, not o much because of the money value, but be cause of the interest that prompted the giver. Many a young sailor ha by such means been helped to a high er and nobler life. This i the testi mony of one who now walk the quarter deck of a fine ihlp: "A mall biddy bag wa sent me by an unknown ladyj in Boston, in it were thread, needles, buttons, Bible., etc., and a iter written, as a sister to a brother. I concluded that if a stranger it thus interested in my life, I ought myself to make better use of time and oppor tunities and become the man which thi stranger hopes and pray for." Any person who may have a kindly feeling for the seafaring man it asked to make up such a little bag. Mrs. lUlcfsen will show how these should be made. Magazines and good reading matter are needed at the Institute. Every ship that come down from Portland is visited by the chaplain and furnished with reading matter.

A SPLENDID ENGINE. Astoria Iron Works Just Completes Model Machine. The Astoria Iron World yesterday put the finishing touches on one of their celebrated Troyer gasoline en gines, and it will be installed in Capt. Jas. Keating' new boat, Pilot No. 2, in a few days. The engine is com posed of four cylinder and dcvclopes 50 horsepower and it is one of the smoothest running machine ever seen in this city, in fact, running at its full capacity it does not make as much noise as an automobile. A large num ber of visitor saw and admired it yesterday, and all pronounced it a masterpiece in the gas' engine line. LAST Small Fire- Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the lire department was called to extinguish a fire at the Co lumbia restaurant, on Eighth street, clow I'.ond. A hurried call .was made on Chemical No. 1 which quickly responded. When the appa ratus arrived on the ground, the fire had broken through the roof, and Tiny Arrigoni tent in a telephone alarm which brought hose companies 1 and 2 in quick time. A stream was thrown on the roof but as the fire wa extinguished by the chemical en-; wa known, and liked, at every land CAPTAIN WILLIAM LARKINS DIES SUDDENLY WHILE ON DUTY IN. PILOT HOUSE ON THE LURLINE YESTERDAY. A feeling of sadness pervaded the city, yesterday, when it became known that the Astorian had received special dispatch from Portland ttat nig that the ever popular, Captain William Larkin, of the Lurlinc, had died suddenly at Portland. The news spread rapidly along the streets and many inquiries were made at to the truth of the rumor, until it wa learn cd that the Astorian had received the newt by wire, and from an undoubted tource. Captain Larkin met hit death at hi post of duty, a post he had filled sue cetsfully for many years. When the Lurline left her dock, at Portland yesterday morning, he was at the wheel, and a dense fog covered the river. Pilot McCully and the mate were on the lookout. After whistling for the opening of the Burnside street bridge dfciw Captain Larkin called the pilot, who hastened to the captain'i side, finding him on hit knee, to which he had fallen, but with the rul ing passion strong in death he still grasped the steering lever. Other who came to his assistance placed him in a chair while Pilot McCully worked his way slowly through the fog until he finally succeeded in dock ing the boat at the Ainsworth dock. irom which point a physician was hastily summoned. It was too late. however, as the captain had passed away, almost with the stroke that ended hfs life. His body was taken to Finlay't undertaking parlor where it will remain until the funeral ar rangemcnts are made. The deceased leave a wife, who is at Nome, a aeven-year-old daughter, attending school at Beaverton, three sisters and a brother, who reside at Portland. For some time past Captain Larkin has been suffering from heart trouble and has had several attacks, one ser ious one being about one year ago, from which his recovery was slow. It is thought that the strain upon him, in guiding the boat through the open draw, in a dense fog, was too much for him with his weak heart, and he succumbed. Captain Larkin was one of the most popular steamboat men on the Columbia and Williamette rivers and gine it was soon witnarawn. l tie cause of the fire was a defective flue. A dining room on the second floor had just been painted and repapcred, and a fire was started in the heating stove, on the first floor, to burn the scraps of paper remaining. A defec tive joint in the flue, where it p.yscd through the roof, permitted sparks to escape, setting fire to the rafters. For a time it looked serious but the prompt arrival and action of Chemi cal 1 soon removed all danger. The lamage is estimated at about $50. Evidently Suicide- Conductor Lowe of the Portland- bound train No. 23, last evening wired Superintendent McGuire from Blind Slough that some unknown man threw himself in front of the train about four telegraph pole length this side of Mcdford bridge just east of Tongue Point. Both legs were cut off, both rms broken, and head all crushed. It is impossible to tell who the man The remains were left in charge of the John Day section foreman. Upon receipt of the news Coroner W. C. A. Pohl made arrangements for an engine and boxcar to go and get the remains. The unfortunate man was so mangled that identification was impossible. He had a hat pur chased at Danziger's and an unen vcloped letter in his pocket to "Will McClcllan, Poctor, B. C, and dated from Wyoming, May and was evi dently written by a lady. ing place, and in other parts of both states. His cheery, pleasant manner, and his kind consideration for those with whom his duties brought him in contact, made for him many lasting friends. To meet Captain Will Lar kin was to know a whole souled, strainghtforward and upright sped men of manhood. Captain Zumwaldt brought down the Lurline last night and has been placed in command of her. Born and reared in Oregon, and having attained an age of 51 years, Captain Larkin had an extensive ac quaintance. Since a lad of 15 he has been on the river in various capaci ties. If is said of him that he never had an enemy and was the most popu lar skjpjter, making Portland his headquarters. 1 For the past 12 years he has been captain of the steamer Lurline, at whose' wheel he died. She belonged to Jacob Kamm and has been running regularly between Portland and As toria, leaving there at 7 o'clock in the mornings and returning at about daylight the following day. Prior to the acceptance of his posi tion on the Lurline he was master erf the old steamer Telephone, running out of Portland, which was said to be the speediest sternwheelerN in the world. She was owned by Captain U. B. Scott, who now has the Telegraph f One t'iano Number with each $3.00.

Wedding at Court House The private office of County Judge Trenchard was the scene of a happy wedding yesterday Emil Lang of Portland and Anna Wedeking .were united in marriage by Judge Tren chard. The building has not yet been furnished but the judge's private office entirely devoid of furniture was utilized for the ceremony and the happy couple no doubt failed to notice the bareness of the room. When the license was secured,' Judge Trenchard was hunted up, and, dropping the di rection of the placing of new furni ture, hurried to do his duty.

Still a fu due event in the niimls of the public, the Democratic Convention at Den vcr 1ms already assumed the guise of a present reality to railroad, officials, who arc beginning1-, to think out schemes for taking care tf the' crowds without confusion. Regular trains will be made longer, and many special trains will be rim, Long before the Democratic delegate litis brushed the dust off his pliiu; hat and sent his frock cost to be refurbished, the operating men" in the railroad offices will be working overtime on emer gency schedules. This selection of a city so far West as the place of convention is without precedent. It introduces new pro blems for the carriers, since the lines of railroad in this section tire much fewer than in the Mississippi Valley and on the Atlantic Ssuboard. Den vcr has no fear least its guests stif fcr from lack oaccommcdation. Ever since "t was a collection of huts, it has been called "the tourist's city." The railroads may dump thousands of delegates Into it in two days, but the Queen City of the Plains" will re fuse to be disturbed. Denver didn'i offer $100,000 to the Democratic No tlonal Committee for nothing; knew what is wantcld, and it is going to be well prepared for the crowd. Work on the mammoth Auditor ium is two thirds completed. Of the total 1,500 tons of steel which will go into the building. 1,000 tons ore now in .place. By far the heaviest part of the work is done, and the contractor says that he will be ready to turn over the finished job to the city on the first day of May. The $425,000 for the erecting of the Auditorium was raised through a Bond sale voted by the citizens of Denver. The Auditorium is 260 feet long. 168 fect broad and 93 feet liiuh. Its normal seating capacity will be 9,00, but this can be increased to 11,500 by utilization of aisle space. Committee rooms adjoin the main hall, and, if there is any overflow of committees, the Democratic Club, three blocks distance, is available. from tnc timeliness ot it, one might suppose that the double-track ng of the Union Pacific Railroad, be twecn the Mississippi and the Rock ics, was undertaken for the particular benefit of the Democratic Convention. The construction of the second track, by sections, has proceeded steadily during the last four or five years, and now the Union Pacific has the only double track lines west of the Mis souri River. Many of the Improve ments now under way will have been finished when the political gathering is held next July. Westward into Denver the Union Pacific will run special Convention trains .over its two main stems one line through Nebraska from Omaha and the other through Kansas from Kansas City. The Nebraska route will be taken by the delegates from the North Atlantic States, While the delegates from further south will find the southerly route more convenient. Arriving at Denver, the trains enter a magnificent union station, It is at the foot of the slope on which the city is built, and is within a short dis tance of the big hotels. j Excessive heat has been part of the history of most political conventions. The President-makers go back home and tell their families and friends how they nearly stewed in the convention hall at St. Louis, or Kansas City, or wherever it was. The conventions are always held in the summer,, and somehow the weather man seems in variably to be lavish with humidity and a knockout temperature. But Denver says it will not be so there. They don't know what it is to have Fever Sores. tfvr sores and old chronlo sores should not lie honied entirely, but should bs kept in healthy condition.

OREGON, BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION Efforts Will Probably be Mads to Restrict European as Well as the Asiatic Immigration Object Land Fraud Cases Being Tried There. WASHINGTON', Jan. 27-Bcyond the preliminary of the currency ques tion and the Introduction of numer ous mcasurei calculated to cure finan cial ill, Congress thus far since the holiday recess ha busied itself pri ncipally in planning numerous and Sunday bills for the immediate bene fit and relief of the resident! of the District of Columbia. There has been agitation in previous congresses to oecure cheaper gas, lower street car fares, and universal transfer as for the nation, but never before was there such interest taken in these matters by o many different members in both houses of the national legislature. The attention of the members to the needs of Washington doubtless was first attracted by the need for an ex tension of the street railway tracks to the new union station. The termi nal was formally opened and put into use by the railroads only a few days before the Sixtieth Congress assembl ed, and the incoming members were thoroughly impressed with the need for immediate action by the long walk they were compelled to take over muddy roads and dirt pavements to the nearest street car line. Then the champions of a universal trans fer ystcm and of three cent fares got busy, and have insisted that no track age legislation be put throught with-1 out provision for their pet hobics. From this contemplation of the wrongs heaped upon Washington by the public service corporations, it was but a step to additional reforms, and these, hinted at in a "show me" resolution introduced by Represcnta live Shacklcford of Missouri, which directs the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to investigate and report upon the affairs of all public service corporations in the District, including street railway, telephone, electric lighting and sas companies. While the atention of the general public is taken up with the talk of possible war with Japan and everyone is following the progress of the bat tleship quadron round the Horn, a mighty army is being quietly marshal led here in Washington and prenara- ions for a bitter internecine struggles are being pushed vigorously. And it will be a fierce fight, ending only when the aggressors are victorious. This is the fight which the advocates of prohibition are planning to make before Congress for the enactment of laws which will shut out the "Demon Run" from the District of Columbia. If anyone thinks that the matter is purely a local iiie they will find themselves very much mistaken. For the hosts of temperance, believing that the time has come when they can force such a measure through Congress, and realizing what an im pctus would be given their caused by thus committing, the federal govern mcnt, art determiued to make every shot count and will leave no stone unturned in razing the bulwarks of the liquor interests. Washingtonians will have very little voice in the fight which i9 to leave the city "wet" or "dry", for the outcome will very largely depend upon the pressure ex erted on the individual members from their home districts and states. No quarter will be given, none asked; it will be a fight to the finish! landed on the eastern coast from the nations of Europe and ask significant iy about the Oriental immigration that swarms into Pacific ports, ac cumulates a goodly portion of Uncle Sam' gold and then turns back to the Far East. While this argument is by no means a new one, it is very probable that it-will prove more potent in winning friend for the re stricted immigration movement, in view of the recent money famine. i Washington taxpayers have raised a' big howl over the action of the Department of Justice in removing the western land fraud cases from the Pacific coast to those of the District. secretary Bonaparte submitted to Congress a request for an emergency appropriation of $49,000 to cover the expense of trying these cases in I city. Under the law one half of the expense of running the District gov ernment is borne by Congress and one half by the taxpayers of the Dis trict. The' trial of the Hyde-Benson Dimond and Schneider cases in this jurisdiction will mean that one half of the expense of witnesses fees, jurors' fees, bailiffs fees and mis cellaneous court expenses must be paid by the property holders of Wash ington. They are imposed uppn of ten enough as it is, but when it comes to. making them pay for something which they don't want and in which they have no interest, they feel rt- scntful. However, it is not believed that the Department of Justice will change its program, and if Congress sees fit to grant Secretary Bonaparte's request, the District government will have to pa the fiddler despite the fact that it doesn't dance. A RECORD BREAKER. Last Year's Sales of Hyomei Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh, Larger Than Ever. the The merits of Hyomei the treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dos ing, its popularity and growth, are uniquo in the annals of medicine. So pronounced is the relief and curs fol lowing the use of this treatment that it ha been publicly recommended by leading druggists and physicians in nearly every Stat and town 'la the country, with the result that last year's sales were larger than aver. The fact that Hyomei la so simple and complete, and that it cure by breathing medicated air and not taking drug into the atomach, no doubt ha helped to create xhi wide-spread and rapidly In creasing army of friend. The mray in which it ha been sold by T. F. Launn ha undoubtedly aided greatly it introduction in Astoria. He is such a firm believer in the power of Hyomei to cure all catarrhal troubles, that he urges people to use it with the understanding that the cost will be re funded to anyone who is not benefitted by the treatment.

An anarchist is a man without a country and also a man that any country is glad to be without Renewed efforts probably will be made in the 60th Congress to restrict European as well Asiatic immigra tion. Friends of the movement to put at least a temporary stop to the influx of low class Europeanans are pointing out that fully $100,000,000 of American gold was taken back to Eurooe last vear by the emigrating foreigners who had come to these shores 500,000 strong and recouped their broken fortunes at the expense of this country. They point to these figures to show that instead of the labor and money brought from Europe remaining here to help develop this great country,- these aliens have only stayed in America long enough to turn their capital over and then have gone back from whence they came, leaving the United States poorer, but not even wiser.', They urge that these figures relate only to those who have Special Announcement Regarding the National Pure Food and Drag Law We are pleased to announce that Foley' Honey and Tar for eougha. colds and lung troubles is not affected by the National Pure Food and Drug law a it contains no opiate or other harmful drugs, and we recommend it a a safe remedy for children and adult.

Further back than that nobody can remember the city for there wasn't any. In 1858 the single log cabin of a pioneer constituted the beginning of Denver, In the forty years since then it has made a record of fast growth that is unparallelled in the history of a fast-growing Nation. To day it is a modern city, with hand- some buildiiurs. bcautful parks, a great public library, schools, clubs, hotels, theatres, everything that a centre of civilization should have. The famous gold hunt of '49 had little civilization effect on the Col orado country; it was aimed further west Even in 1870, twelve years af ter the pioneer's cabin was built, the pupilldUUU VI xstMVCl naa ivia 5,000. Recently in the United States Senate, Senator Scott of West Virg inia made a spech in which he spoke of his old mining days in Colorado. I went to the site of Denver," said Senator acott. when there was no Denver there, when it was inhabited by the prairie dog, the rattlesnake and the owL" "In 1870 the Denver Pacific and Kansas Pacific divisions of the Union Pacific reached the city, and the pop ulation figures began to jump. When President Grant proclaimed Colorado a State on August 3rd, 1876, Denver's population was about 25,000. It was 35,000 in 1880, and in the next ten years it increased to 133,859. With a population estimated today at 175, 000, the city is confident that it will have passed the 200,000 mark when the next decennial census is taken. Of course the Democratic Conven tion will bring many thousands of dollars to Denver, directly. But the indirect benefits expected from it are greater. In other words, in offering $100,000 for the Convention, Denver is embarking upon a gigantic adver tisement scheme. There is no con cealment about that Besides the de legates themselves, visitors flock to political conventions. Nowadays a convention is by n& means only a dis eusson and a choice of candidates and a framing of a platform it has be come a remarkable spectable.. Pro vision for the crowds of "rooters" is made with no less care than for the delegates. Then there are innumerable "frills" which go along with every convention receptions, and parades, and sight seeing parties, and such like. The en thusiastic Denvcrite will tell you that his town is strong on these. First of all, they take the stranger to the basemen of the Capitol and show him a tablet which marks a point exactly one mile above sea level. This fact of the city's altitude is its chief pride the foundation stone for all the other pleasant things which can be said about Denver. Next in importance is the death rate, which, unlike Denver's level, is very low. In 1900 it was only one and three tenths per cent, and some years it is lower than that. The average num ber of clear days a year is 314. Not counting the boarding houses ana lurnisnca rooms to Jet, tnere are forty hotels in Denver. It .is not a difficult matter to house 50,000 vis itors at one time. Why, then, asks Denver, should it get excited about taking care of the Convention crowds? 'If there ever was a city that was make by railroads, that city is Den ver. It was nothing when the United States Government decided to have a transcontinental railroad built across the Great Plains and the Rockies. Backed ty the Government, the Unoin Pacific Railroad was begun, stopped and begun again. All sorts TEA If the tea is good you ask for a second cup; if not, you ask for the money.

Finally they got to Den ver from both directions. Since the growth of the city and the growth of the railroad have kept pace with one another. Through bank ruptcy and reorganizations the Union Pacific passed, until, in 1898, the pre sent management took hold and be gan the work which has put the rail-J road in its present efficient condition, Uver the same plains that the patnc schooners" traversed in '49, now passes the long trains of Pullman cars. The Forty-niners were glad to make five miles an hour with their wagon trains; now the traveler is car ried toward the mountains at fifty miles an hour. Settlement and civilization follow ed the rails. As fast as the railroad was extended, so fast grew up vil lages, towns and cities. In the first six months after the advent of the railroad, $1,00,000 worth of real estate was sold in Denver on rising values. The mining of silver and gold con tinued witTf unremitting steadiness. Soon the era of building was in full swing,1 and even now shows no signs of ending. In a quarter of a century, Denver has become famous for its wealth and health and beauty. "By getting the Democratic Con vention," said a Denver man in Wash ington last month, "Denver is serving notice of its importance to the coun try." When the Democrats see how well their pow-wow turns out, they'll never want to have one anywhere else. Then' the Republicans will be eager for Denver, too, and we'll have both conventions regularly after that. Why not? There's no other place that can take care of the delegates as well or make them as comfortable." L, C TELEPHONE CO.

After an Absence of Five Months Vis iting Eastern Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27. M. Shipoff, former minister of finance, re turned here yesterday after a five months' trip in the Far East. He visited Japan, China and Siberia on j. special government mission, the result of which he has embodied in a re port to the Emperor. M. Shipoff today expressed himself optimistically regarding conditions in the extreme Orient which he said is rapidly recovering from the period of depression following the war. He is convinced from conversations which he has had with prominent men of all shades of opinion in Tokio that hostilities between the United States and Japan at present are out of the question. M. Shipoff was greatly impressed by Chinese activity in the coloniza tion of Korea Although faced by the prospect of Japanese occupation of the province, the Chinese are rushing thousands of settlers into that coun try and are displaying the greatest energy in developing business opera tions, opening mines and planing rail roads. This tide of colonization, he said, has offered an inspiring example to Russia which is confronted by a similar task in the developing of Siberia. Many of the native Koreans, however, are leaving the country to become Russian subjects rather than remain under Japanese sovereignty. M. Shipoff carefully avoided com ment on Japanese activity in Man churia, but it was his opinion that China would have to submit to the objections offeed by Japan to the construction of a new railroad as Japan is fully prepared to support her demands. With reference to his re ported appointment as minister of commerce to succeed the late M. Filossofoff, he said that he had no official notification as yet, but would be unwilling to accept the office pend ing the completion of his report which will require a considerable time.
