SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12-The recent
drop in the price of Wellington coal from

venting its working, in which case prices
would be advanced.
The various mine-owneTs and their
agents in this city have not met the cut in
Wellington coal. with the exception Of the
Coos Bay company, which is selling in

LITTLE HOPE or SAVING HER
The YaGuina Bay viii Probably
Break up In the Alleged Harbor.

SALEM, Or. Dee. l2-The latest informa-
tien from Corvallis concerning the ground
ed steamer Iaquina Bay is 20 the effect
that the freight has been all taken off ex-
eept 50 tons Of coal. The steamer has been
pumped fun Of water in order TO hold her
down so no damage will result by the
humping OF her bottom on the rocks. When
the tugs aud equipments for raising and
hauling her OF arrive. the water will be
pumped out and an effort made 20 relieve
her from her perilous position.
Later reports received at Albany from
Yaquina state that the efforts 10 save the
stranded Yaquina Bay are not likely To
prove successful. She has careened farther
over and the water covers her bows. The
wrecking apparatus has not yet arrived.
Officials of the Oregon Development Com
paBy think IL doubtful II the vessel is ever

0swEso, y. Y, Dec. I2.-During Mn.
lshgtry 5 performance here tonight In the
Academy of Music. as the curtain was
about 10 rise on the last act, there was a
cry of fire from the rear OF the hail, aud
thick clouds of smoke poured up through
the large register in the middle aisle. The
cracking of flames was heard underneath
the floor, and the large audience was pan
ic-stricken. Cool-hcaded men spFang upon
the stage and called out To the people that
there was no danger. Others mounted
their chairs ia every part of the house and
called upon the audience TO remain cool.
This succeeded in partially guieting the
people, and in two minutes the theater
was cleaned just as the flames sp.ung up
through the door.
By this time the Gre department was at
hand, and streams of water were pouring
into the building. The fire was soon ex-
unguished. II caught from an overheated
Inrnace directly underneath the center
aisle and near the main entrance. But for
its timely discovery il would have shut off
all escape by the main door, and there
would have been n terrible scene. as the

iSDIASAPoLfs, Dee l2.-Anent the resig-
nation of United States District Attorney
Emery II. Sellers, which WAS not publicly
known here until this morning. there is
considerable political gossip touching the
causes of the suddeDness and secrecy OBJ
served by Sellers in the matter. The chief
reason is attributed to sellers dissatisfac-
ton with the case before the federal grand
jury against Col. Dudley. II is said that
he was averse 10 entering upon the prose
cution OF a case OF such importance with
what to him seemed an insufiiciency of
evidence.
In this connection it is also asserted that
certain prominent Democrats who publicly
claimed 20 possess specific and damaging
evidence touching the alleged Dudley let
ter have either failed or refused 10 produce
said evidence. II IL even stated that Sci
leTs does not know and cannst ascertain
the name Of the Republican county chair

the public print they had obtained the now
