HEAVY LOSS.
4 Ssn Diego Fire Results In Quarter of
q Million Loss.

~
[CoryrigA 1888, yhe California Associated Preisl
SAN DIEGO, May 4th-At o'clock this
morning flames were discovered in the CEN
ter of warehouse occupied by Hamilton
& Co., wholesale and retail grocers, on
Fifth and Sixth streets, near G. The ware
house was used as a storeroom for heavy
groceries, oils, etc. An alarm was quickly
turned in, but the flames had obtained
much headway, and the infammable
material could not be checked.
The flames spread to an adjoining build
ing occupied by Fred n. Hamilton, whole
sale hardware merchant, and to the next
building north, occupied by S. g. Ingle,
dealer in stoves, tinvare etc. The wind
was high, and it seemed that nothing would
save the city.
LATER-The wind died down and with
six streams playing the department sue
ceeded in confining the flames to three
stores. The cause of the fire is supposed
to be spontaneous combustion. The loss
to Hamilton d Co.'S stock is $4,000, in
ssured for $S5000 Fred. Hamilton, stock
$40, 600, insured for $25, 900; building $3O.-
600, with slight insurance; S. G. Ingle.
stock $4,000, insurance between S25 900
and $4,000; building, $4,000. Total loss,
$4,000.

WASHINGTON, May 4th.-The Speaker
and other members Of the Committee On
Rules had an informal talk this morning
concerning the disposition of business of
the House that is being showed aside by the
long tariff discussion, and it was concluded
that nothing could be done in the way of
setting aside day for special orders until
it was known just when the general discus
sion of the tariff would end. If the debate
goes on without interruption they know
Just when the seventeen days will expire,
but the time may be broken in upon, and
it was the general idea that the legislative
appropriation bill would be called up at
some time pending the tariff discussion.
Mr. Randall. however, has privately de-
clared that he viii not oppose the tariff
with any appropriation bill. Monday is
the individual suspension day. The
Speaker will recognize Blanchard, if he de
sires to again attempt to pass the river and
harbor bill under suspension of rules.

done, Napa people may come to this city
by way of old SOnoma town and Tiburon.

Holman told his supposed hirelingwhere
his sister lived, gave him key to her room,
handed him her picture, told him on which
side of the bed she generally lay (she hav-
ing lady room -mate), and also gave him
plan of the room. He also suggested
that there were three gold watches III the
room, and that ne had better take them, so
that robbery would be ascribed as the
motive. He also suggested, as an easy way
to kill the woman, that a darning-reedle
be run through her heart. The murderer
was to receive 1000.

Obstacles in the way of Anti Chinese
Legislation.
tcopyriJs 1888. by the California AssociGteI Press
WASHINGTON, February 2Sth.-It is not
likely that the resolutions introduced in
the House yesterday by Representative
Morrow, calling upon the State Depart.
ment TO inform Congress of the progress of
the negotiations with the Chinese Minister
for new treaty to prohibit the immigra-
lion of Chinese laborers will be reported
from the Foreign Affairs Committee, to
which 1t was referred, at a very early date.
Chairman Belmont, of this committee,
SAYS he has information from the State
Department which leads him TO be-
lieVe that the negotiations for new
treaty are progressing rapidly. The
call for information of the character
demanded in Mr.. Morrows resolution, Bel
mont thinks might retard negotiations for
new treaty and would be productive of
no substantial good.
In the meantime Morrow, who is one of
the subcommittee with Belmont and
McCreery to consider Chinese legislation,
has been unable to secure meeting of the
sub committee, and until some action is
taken by the Senate in the matter there
does not seem to be very hopeful prospect

The Free Trade Leader In the House Re
ceiyes Present.
TCopwis& 1883, by 1e California Axsociatea Pres
WASHINGTON. February 28th.-There was
considerable merriment in the House to-
day over package received by Mr.. Mills,
of Texas. When page brought the box
10 him he opened 1t without hesitation.
Several members were standing about at
the time, and caught sight of the contents,
as did Mills. The latter tried to slide the
box under his desk, but the others would
not have 1t, so he made the best of il aud
spread out TO the gaze of the wondering
multitude in the galleries six pairs of best
quality seamless stockings in the brightest
colors known.
1t appears that when Mills was in Rhode
Island the other day talking tariff he said
be could see no reason for protecting goods
of foreign manufacture. Now" said he
there is a seamless silk stocking, an out
come of idle French talent and used only
by the wealthy" This part of his speech
was seen by Il Boston manufacturing firm
who sent him the present of to-day. Ac-
companying the box was letter which was
sent on to say that the present was sent in
the hope that it might prove useful. The
stockings, the letter said, were the largest
made by them, but as their trade was lin
tied in the South they might not prove
suitable to Mills. Should they prove too
small, however, the error would be rectified
if Mr.. Mills would send them Texas foot
print on paper by express.
