all good citizens to acquiesce for the
present and desist from stirring up
any strife that Willmilitate against the
new governor. However, we must
continue to condemn the high-handed
measures taken by the last legislature
and hope that the Legislature soon to
be elected will tiEd a way tocorrect the
outrages pe1petrated by its predecess- |
ors. In the event that the seat OF gov
eminent is to remain at Bismarck it
can work no particular hardship to this
section, as there is but Little doubt that
Dakota will be divided next winter and

INCENDIARY FIRE
Police Captain Bresett's House
Burned at One O'clock This
Morning.
The Lives of Mrs. Bresett and Lady
NeighbOr Endangered.
Nearly All Furniture Destroyed, and Only
the Charred Frame Left Of
the House.
Captain Bresett on Duty Down Town at
the Time, and the Two Ladies
Alone.

The alarm of fire from box No. at / :05
O'Clock this morning, was occasioned by the
burning of Capt. John Bressett's residence at
the corner of Selby avenue and Kent street.
About l o'clock Mrs. Bresett and lazy
friend were awakened by the bursting of fire
into their room, and they had barely time to
dress before the house was enveloped in
flames
Officer Kalfka, who was pacing his beat in
the vicinity saw the flames and turned in the
alarm, but owing to the bad condition of the
roads the department was some time in get
ting out.
Another difficulty was the scarcity of water,
which had to be pumped from cistern sit
uated several blocks away. The fire burned
fiercely for half an hour or more and the
house was almost gutted before it was gotten
under control. The house was almost new
and it was valued at $4,000. The loss will
exceed more than half of this amount.
1t was insured in a building society for
about $4,000. The furniture was valued al
$4,000, and it is almost a total wreck from
fire and water. 1t was slightly insured.
The fire was set in the rear portion of the
house, on porch. The impression is con
firmed that it was the work of an incendiary
Last night was Capt. Bresett's night to re
main down town all night, as he was the Off
Ger in charge of the police force.
The theory is that the person who did the
work was aware of this fact and selected hi.
time accordingly.
If the fire was really incendiary it was .
villianous piece of work, as it might have in
volved the lives of two women.

CINCINATTI RIOTS.
A Distinguished Citizen Asserts There
Was no Mob at all.

TOLEDO, o., April 6.-The Commercial Iale-
gram will tomorrow publish aremarkableletter
from distinguished citizen of Cincinnati,
giving a new version of the story of the
riots. He states that the home papers dare
not tell all that their reporters know about
the riots; that the coroner dare not hold an
inquest, because the testimony would show
that there was no mob, no need of the mili
tary and no need for them to open fire
that they Fired on an unoffending
people, and that such of the
policemen and militia as were shot were shot
by the military. That Sheriff Hawkins has
no brains, and lost his head, that the firing
was utterly uncalled for and cowardly; that
the bystanders could not believe that bullets
were being fired until they saw men falling.
The letter is very lengthy and critcizes the
entire management of the governor and his
military staff, speaking with the utmost Sc
verify of the fear and foolishness and blood
thirsty frenzy of the sheriff with which he
in fected the militia

THE SCHOONER RETURNS.
The Filibusters Land in Cuba-Federal
Authorities to. Blame for
her Escape.

KEY WEST, April 6.-The schooner Shelters
arrived last night, passed the two revenue
cutters and the flag ship Tennessee and
proceeded to the upper harbor, whereshe was
seized by collector Wicker, who placed an
inspector on board, and this morning hoisted
the revenue flag at the mast head. There
were three people aboard, two colored and
one Cuban. The negro in charge said he
was engaged to pilot the Shelters to Cape
Florida; that in rounding Fort Taylor, Agnew
told him, with drawn pistol he must take
the party to the Cuban coast. On approaching
near Cordenas, he directed the pilot to land
abreast plantation, then in sight, where
horses could be obtained. This was done,
and the party reached the beach. The pilot
then put to sea, and saw an extensive fire
before getting clear of land. He thinks the
plantation buildings were burned. The ne
gros story is doubted, but it is the best in
formation obtainable to-day. The captain of
the revenue cutter took the three men
from the schooner on board this
forenoon. In evidence the Spanish consul
declares he discovered and transmitted to
Washington more information than was
possessed by the federal officials here, and it
is to be regretted here that the treasury de-
partment communicated with the revenue
cutter at Cedar Keys instead of instructing g
the collector here. Reports vary regarding
the number of filibusters, which is said to be
! between twelve and twenty. The Shelters is
said to havea small number of carbines.
