Water-COst of Senator Mil
ler's Funeral.

Especial 10 me Herald bv the associated Press.
San FRANCISCO, May -Four per.
sons are this morning reported missing,
who are believed to have persisted in the
ruins Of the Bancroft fire yesterday. A
search will be made as soon as possible.
The lire is still burning among the ruins.
A. l.. Bancroft 4 Co. have opened tenn
porary offices at 10 Geary street, where
they will attend TO all business as usual.
All their account and business books
were saved. The firm has received the
following letter, which explains itself
"Messrs. bancroft q Co.-GENrLE-
MES. Ii is with deep regret we learn OF
your great loss by fire. We sympathize
with your misfortune the more from the
fact that we have so lately passed
through the same fiery ordeal. We ex-
tend TO you our heartfelt sympathies
and all facilities that our limited estab'
lishment can afford until you resume
business. Yours truly,
s. II. CROKER & Co."
Mr.. Emanuel, of the firm of l.. 4
T.. Emanuel, makes the following state
ment ~ TO the origin of the fire; Philip
Wenzel, delivery clerk of the firm,
was in the basement unpacking goods
which were packed in excelsior, the
name given to thin shavings used for
that purpose. 1t was dark, and he held
a candle in his hand as he took out the
goods, and piled the excelsior at his
side. The candle fell from his hand
into the inhamable material, and like a
fash it blazed about him. He jumped
on II and tried to stamp 1t out, but IN
vain. The flames spread rapidly and
smoke filled the basement. Wenzel es'
capped by the rear door,"
John Fleming, q member of truck NO.
2, stationed on Broadway, near Stock
ton street, was found deal in his bed at
the truck.house to-day. He worked
very hard at the fire yesterday,
aud his death is supposed to be the re-
suit of exhaustion.
Emanuel reports to-day, that james
Brannan, mattress maker in his en-
ploy, is believed to be lying under the
debris. His work shop was nuder the
pavement, and it is supposed that his
eRress was cut off before he knew OF 1t.
Inquiry at his residence developed the
fact that lac had not been home.
The family believed that he had met his
death in the fire. This makes three
victims of Yesterdays fire.

THE Republicans OF Los Angeles
adopted at an early day movement
which was really started by the
Democrats OF this county, viz,
that the respective conventions of the
great national party should hold the
conclave of their party in this city.
In the gubernatorial election this
Fall Los Angeles county will poll
fully sixteen thousand votes. She will
figure next after San Francisco county
in population. Can the Democratic
State Committee hesitate after seeing
their Republican rivals responsive to
the situation, a response which was
brought about by Los Angeles Re-
publicans. Here we have new
vote, virgin political field, Can we
afford to slight it? We trow not.
Los Angeles was the old time capital
OF all Alta California. 1t is the fight
ing ground for supremacy in this
State. In our judgment the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee dare
not evade this cardinal issue. They
are already almost pledged to calling
their legions to what will sbe a
Phillippi either for Republicans or
Democrats within the confines of
what is destined to be the future
center of population for the Pacific
Coast,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered an opinion in the
case of Thomson, a street contractor,
against the Superintendent of Streets Of
this city to compel him to sign a con-
tract for street work done under the
law of 1872. The suit was brought to
settle the question whether this law or
the vrooman act of 1885 ia in operation.
The opinions of the Justices of the
Court are however ut variance. Justices
Thornton and McKe held that the
legislative act of 1884, known as the
first Vrooman act is in force. Chief
Justice Morrison and JustieesMyrick and
Ross held that the Legislative act OF 1855,
known as the second Nrooman act Is m
force. Justices McKinstry and Sharp
stein hold that the old Street law is in
force, that is the consolidation act Of
1872. The result of the decision isprac
tically that there is no operative street
law, as the concurrence OF four Justices
