CLUNIE'S AMBITION.
He Aspires to be Member of the Pub
lie Bulldog Committee.

WASHINGTON, December Sth.-There is much
talk about the corridors of the several hotels
concerning the makeup of the House commit
tees, but speaker Reed keeps his own counsel
very well nevertheless Mckinley IS known to
be booked for the Craftsmanship of the Ways
and Means Committee. 4 hat belongs to him,
both by virtue of precedent and ability Beyond
that nothing is or can be definitely found out of
the personnel of the committees. 1t is under
stood that all the committees will be announced
prior to adjournment Tor the holidays, probably
the day before, and that the recess will be taken
on the 20th or 21st instant.
Representative Clunie is very desirous of be-
ing appointed member of the Public Building
and Grounds Committee. None of the other
Pacific coast members are opposing this ambi-
ton At the first call of the House Clunie will
introduce a number of bills which he has al
ready very nearly ready.
Among these is one sppropriating 81 100000
for the purchase of Postotfice site in San Fran
cisco and one giving San Jose $3.50 90 for like
purpose, as well as one providing for the needs
of Sacramento in the same direction. Clunie
can do very much more effective work for the
good of these measures provided he can get
upon the committee having such matters in
charge.
The system of Notifications for the Pacific
coast devised by Representative ClUnie. with
the approval of General Nelson A. Miles, will
be the most complete ever presented to Con
gress. Prior to coming to Washington Clunie
had several consultations with General Miles
concerning the matter. The main points COW
eTeQ Dy the Dill WHICH ne proposes 10 IL LTOOuce
were thoroughly canvassed and agreed upon be-
fore Clrpie's departure from San Francisco.
The system of coast defenses will include a
chain of Notifications extending from Puget
Sound to San Diego, making the United States
proof against invasion on the Pacific side. Part
of the plans will be an appropriation of s1000,-
900 for the building OF great foundry at San
Francisco, making possible the construction OF
heavy ordnance. as well as all sorts of defensive
wo ks, complete on the coast without the need
of expensive shipments from the Eas'.
Senator Hearst has silver bill in prepara-
tfon. Just what the terms of the measure will
be is not yet definitely decided, but certainly
the bill will differ materially from the measure
already offered by Senator Stewart. 1t viii
probably not be ready to offer till late in the
session, being yet only in a formative stage not
very far advanced.
Paymaster Arthur Burtis, of the United States
ship Vermont, has been ordered to settle his ac-
counts and hold himself in readiness for duty
on the cruiser Charleston. He will report at
San Francisco after assignment.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.
1t is Claimed the Minneapolis Fire Was
Started by an EmhezzIer

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn), December sth.-A re-
port was current at police headquarters and on
the streets to-day that a clue had been discov-
cred to the origin of the fire which DESTROYED
tAe Minneapolis Tribune building, in which
seven lives were lost.
Charles A Ostrom, the defaulting cashier of
the Minneapolis department of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press, is suspected of having set fire to
the T1buHs building in order to destroy the evi.
dence of his embezzlement.
The Minneapolis Office of the Pioneer Press
was located in the Tribune building, and it was
found impossible to fasten the crime OF embez-
element upon Ostrom until the books had been
recovered. They were taken frem the ruins
Friday. An examination showed they had
been doctored by Ostrom to hide his stealings.
He was arrested at 81. Paul and taken to Min
neapolis, where he made statement under
oath that he had embeZzled 81 200 which he
claims he lost in gambling.
Although Ostrom confessed to embezzlement
he denies that he set fire to the Tribune build
ing. The fact that he left the books out of the
safe on the night of the fire is against him, but
Ostrom claims he was not III the building after
O'Clock. He says he expected charge of
arson would be made against him but he
claims the detective who shadowed him will
corroborate the statement that he is not respon-
sible for the Tribune fire.

The Fire Again Started Up in the Butte
Copper Mines.
BUTTE (Mont), eeember Sth.-The efforts
made TO reopen the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines were premature. The miners worked
under difficulty in the 800 level of the St. Law
renee ali yesterday having strong presence Of
gas to contend with. The men could only work
short while, when relieved by Others
The space between the fire and GOO levels in
derable extent. q set of timbers extending
from one to the other and the exhausted space
was filed up with waste.
The fire has burned down from where it
started, on the 500 level. and the burning tim
bers caused much OF this waste to fall down into
the GOO level.
AS the men worked air was thus let into the
place where the fire rigirated and caused the
almost extinguished fire to start up with esh
vigor. At l O'Clock this morning smoke began
to issue from the Anaconda shaft.
The Anaconda shaft was at once closed again
The miners were withdrawn from the ST. Law
renee workings. and the buIkheads in the 90
foot and 60o-foot levels were replaced.
Experiences from fires other mines is that
the fire in a mine once started and the mine
sealed up, the fire is never exting1ished in less
than three months, and even longer. Work of
injecting steam into the mines was resumed
again, and efforts to reopen them viii not be
made this winter. II is expected that the COM
pany viii at once begin the development OF
work on other properties belonging 10 1t, So that
the output in the aggregate viii not be reduced.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Young Life Blotted Ont

Young Life Blotted Out.
CORNING, December sth.-The early Sunday
morning of this quiet village was disturbed by
the discharge of pistol shots about O. clock in
a notorious house of ill-fame.
An investigation revealed the following facts:
Lying across the bed was Mrs. Eliza J. Smith
with bullet hole in her forehead, from which
the brains were oozing.
Near by, upon the floor, was the lifeless body
of a man, by the name of Cimbusky, her muir
derer Clenched in his right haud was the re-
volver with which he had committed the
double murder. and a gaping wound in his
right temple indicated the entry of the ball,
that had caused almost instant death.
Mrs. Smith was comely woman, of about &c
years, native of San francisco, and left her
husband to lead dissolute life some three
months ago. Cimbusky, a middle-aged man.
had become infatuated with her charms, and
the theory of the murder is that it was caused
by Jealousy.
Mrs. Smith had declared her intention to re-
turn to Orland and Doc Stewart was here to
convey her to that place in a buggy Rather
than to lose her he, it appears, decided to muir
der her snd then take his own life. In his coat
pocket was found a letter from Jacksonville
(oregon) lawyer, making demand on Gin.
husky for money.
The Coroner held an inquest over the re-
mains. after which the bodies were removed to
Red Bluff for burial

CORRECTING HISTORY.
Jefferson Davis Did Not Elope at Either
Marriage.

WASHINGTON, December sth.-A correspond
ent in to days Post denies that jefferson Davis
eloped with his present wife. He SAYS: 1.-THE
truth is that the present Mrs. Davis wss Miss
Howell of Louisiana and there wss no elope-
ment in the case. HIS first wife was daughter
OF General Zach Taylor, q sister of Dick Taylor
OF Confederate fame, and at one time it was
asserted that Davis eloped with her from
post in the wild Northwest to the first civilized
village and was married, and that his trough
and ready" father-in-law never recognized the
nuptials until after the battle of Buena Vista in
Mexico when he recognized the military ability
OF his son in-law. This has gone into history
and Mr.. Davis has on several occasions declared
to your correspondent that this was even a
myth"

Japanese Sealers.

VICTORIA (B. c., December sth.-The Japan
ese sealing schooner Adele, Captain Hansen
has arrived here from northern cruise. The
Adele left port last September, ostensibly bound
for Yokohama, but it was reported on the
streets that her real destination was the Seal
Islands in Behring Sea, upon which a raid was
to be made
When the vessel returned the Captain de-
clined to state any thing, but enough was gath
cred from the crew to show that the Adele had
plenty of skins aboard-upward of 600-and
that the object OF the cruise was prospecting the
seal rookeries in Behriug Sea, in which object
the schooner has been eminently successful.
