A Word for the Absent.

Mr.. II. D. Kampman is absent from
the city in the interest of a manufac-
turing plant that will greatly benefit
this city. He is not here to reply to
the structures of those who charge
him with making use of machines
built by convict labor. Concerning
that controversy the LIGHT knows
no more than has appeared over the
signatures of Mr.. Kampmann and his
critics, but the LIGHT does know that
no man in this city employs more
free labor than Mr.. Kampmann does,
no man spends more money in paying
wages, and he is a very liberal con-
tributOr to every measure tending to
increase the demand for labor in San
Antonio. He is deeply interested in
two industries which employ more
men than any two private concerns
in this city and it does not appear
from the record that Mr.. Kampmann
is other than tavorably inclined
toward those who labor. No strikes
have occurred among his wHrkmen and
the inference is fair ohe that he
treats with them honorably. 1t is
certain that if more of our capitalists
followed Mr.. Kampmann's course
working men in San Antonio would
not be idle.

Seattle in Ruins.

SAN FRANCISCO, June THE EX-
aminer's report Of the great fire in
Seattle says: The entire business
portion of Seattle is now nothing but
smoking ruins. About p. m. yester-
day some turpentlne caught fire in the
basement of a tWo-stOry frame build
ing on the southwest corner of Front
and Madison streets. The building
was soon ablaze. The fire department.
responded promptly, but it was i'm
possible to make Roadway again st the
flames, for the buildings of finder
were an easy prey to what within ten
minutes from the time it was started,
developed into q cOnflagration.
AS soon as the fire reached the bar
rels of a liquor store, they exploded
with terrific reports and scattered the
flaming timbers far and wide, and
the whole block was soon licked up.
Efforts to flood the Coleman building
on Front street to the south, were
utterly useless, for the flames leaped
across Marion street with greedy rap
idity and in less than thirty minutes
another square was burned to
ashes. A block on east side of
Front street, between Marion and
Madison and extending up Marion
half way to Second street, next caught
fire, three story brick owned by
Geo. Frye and valued at $4,000 soon
yielded to the flames and with it went
the entire structure. From the opera
house block, the fire now having be-
come a monstrOus cOnflagratiOn, swaI-
lowed uD SQUARE after SQUARE until the
entire business part of the city, in
Guiding the water front and many
residences, covering between 80 and 10
blocks, were consumed.
Among the buildings big and little
destroyed at Seattle was the Occiden-
tai hotel, valued at 100000. The Ia
coma fire department came over to the
rescue in 81 minutes by rail, but both
departments combined were almost
powerless.

Cancer can be Cured

DR.. r. c. Black, of Georgia, is in the city
on a visit. He has devoted the last six
years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a
remedy from experiments made on very
bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon well, no
signs of it ever having returned.
He has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years, and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged-cured. He will
remain in San Antonio, Texas, several
months. Consultation free, at 40 Pre"a
street or at 402 East Houston
street. DR.. Black is 4 graduate of
the Medical University of Pennsylvania, at
Philadelphia and has practiced over thirty
years.

Two boys while bathing in the
river below Lovers Lane yesterday
nearly drowned. One was seized
with cramps and was sinking when
the other came to his assistance. A
young Mexican man was passing
and jumped in with his clothes on
and rescued both boys. He deserves
a medal or gold-headed cane for his
bravery, and when his name is known
somebody ought to make the presen-
tation. The Mexican lives at the

The Relief Work.

Captain Edgar Schramm and J. NJ.
Nixon were yesterday appointed by
Mayor Callaghan to solicitrelief funds
for the Johnstown sufferers. Capt.
Schramm reported $3.50 as the result
of his yesterdays work, and will pur-
sue his soliciting today. OF the
amount collected yesterday by him,
Goldfrank, Frank & Co. gave $50; A.
G.. Schryver and NJ. Half & Bro, S25
each; II. Goggan q Bro, Rafael Diaz
and August Schulz, $40 each. The
rest was in sums of S. and under. Mr..
NiXon's collections are not included
in this return and they aggregate
S146.5O, making the total amount col
lected to date, 81, 2S6.50. At an early
hour yesterday afternoon the sum of
1866 was expressed through Wells,
Fargo & Co. to the Johnstown relief
committee. The contributions made
today will swell the amount to 81 500.
Many who would give literally are
absent from the city and should the
distress continue and more funds be
needed the contributions will reach
$1,000. San Antonio is not meIcenary
and this distress cry nearly 1000 miles
away has not been heard in vain.

well satisfied over the acts of the late
granger Legislature, and questions
whether or no the structures upon
Attorney General Hogg are not in re-
ality hitting of the attorney general
over the legislative shoulders. Com
enting upon the break made on
Hogg, the Mercury says:
"When representative paper, like
the Galveston News, says the attorney
general is not to blame because he
has to enforce obnoxious laws, and
then lambastes him for enforcing
enforcing them, the question arises
how can the News be so consistently
inconsistent" ~
The manifold inconsistencies of the

THE Chicago Tribune goes into n
labored statement to show the specu-
lations of Alexander Sullivan accus-
ed of numbering Cronin, and makes Il
careful summary of his financial tran.
sactions with John 7. Sorler and Co.
from which it deduces the opinion
that he lost at least seventy-five per-
cent of the amount in speculation
which was entrusted to him by the
Clan Na-Gael. Summing up its re-
searches the Tribune says:
"The Tribune Is in a position to
state that Cronin had prepared a
statement of the facts here related.
The manuscript is in the hands of the
Investigating committee. 1t was
ready for the printer. 1t was sub
mitted to number of Cronin's friends
by Cronin himself. One of those per-
sons betrayed to Alexander Sullivan
the fact of the existence of the PAM
phlet. The pamphlet was an awful
indictment of himself and his assOci-
ates.
1t is also positively known that
SuIlivan's friends tried every posi-
BILE means to get Cronin to suppress
the pamphlet and to withdraw his
charges. Members of the committee
of six who sat with him implored him
to do so for the sake of persons con-
nected with Sullivan. CIOnin was
Obdurate.
What did the proof of the charges
mean? Why, that the triangle had
not only misappropriated Irish funds,
but that they sent honest fanatics on
errands of death in order to destroy
evidences OF their fraudsD
From all this the Tribune would
have the world believe that Cronin's
murder was at the instigation of those
who dreaded a revelation of his re-
searches into the disposition of Clan
Na-GaeI funds. The Chicago police
and the inquest proceedings do not
show this matter with sufficient clear
ness to convince an impartial judg-
ment. Nothing new is being devel-
oped.

The Kind OF Fowls For Fighters
and Where They Come From.
The LIGHT reporter is not inter-
ested in raising game chickens, yet
he is inquisitive and likes to gain all
the information he can. In CONVEX
sation with Capt. Bob Marx yesterday
he asked the captain, who Is well
posted man on the subject, how and
where were the game chickens raised
that were pitted against each other in
the San Antonio cock-pits. Captain
Marx replied as follows:
"They grow better in sandy coun-
try. We can't raise any in this city.

development OF Iron Industries in the
south must also have had an effect upon
those Of New England, as IL has upon
other sections. Having to control these
unfavorable conditions to their pros
perity and progress, the iron interests
of New England have found the addi-
tional burden OF high duties on raw ma
terials-coal and iron ore--to be un-
bearable, and steadily the industries
have declined, until at this time the
business does not amount to fifty per
cont of what it was ten years ago.
Establishments which few years ago
were among the largest in the
country have closed altogether,
while others are doing but one
half or one-third of the business
in the years OF their highest
prosperity. Numerous instances are
given Of great works which formerly did
an immense business that are now closed,
and very few of those in operation are
making any money. In a word, every
branch OF the iron industries of New
England is being unprolitably operated,
except a few establishments that pro-
duce specialties. aud the chief reason
which the man nufacturers give for this
state of affairs is the tariff on raw mate
rials.
What the New England manufa ctur-
ers propose to ask OF congress is,
that iron ore, coal and coke
shall be put upon the free list,
as they were before, and that the duty
upon pig iron and scrap iron and scrap
steel be restored to the ante -bellum rate
of twenty-four per cent ad valorem.
Governor Ames, of Massachusetts,, him
self an extensive manufacturer and in
sympathy with this movement, said re-
garding 1t that sit is not a question OF
politics, it is a question Of life or death"
The very large majority of these manu-
facturers are republicans, and they are
moving for free raw material, as Gov
ernor Ames explained, because if they
do not secure this relief they
feel that their industries will be doomed
for the sake of the prosperity of Penn
sylvania, or at best can but prolong a
| miserable existence. With the iron
| manufacturers of New England solidly
demanding raw materials in order to
save their interests from ruin, and
many OF the wooden manufacturers ask
| ing for free wool, the attitude of the
representatives OF that section in the
next congress on tariff revision will be
| of surprising interest to the country,
and the question of the possible general
effect of this New England movement
upon the readjustment of the revenue
| of very great Importance.

THE detention of a guest OF the Pax
ton hotel on the suspicion of having in
his possession counterfeit money while
wholly without foundation has, never
theless, its palliating circ instances.
The arrest was made by the police at
the instance of merchant and it was
certainly their duty to take notice of
the complaint. There was no necessity
however of the police acting in an
arbitrary manner. The gentleman
made straightforward explanation,
and could have established his identity
and business relations through the hotel
clerk without the humiliation of being
dragged to the police station. An ounce
of common sense would be worth u
pound of bull-headedness on such occa-
sion, and the case in question is a fair
illustration OF the lack of discretion Of
the average policeman.

LOBBERY UNDER COVER.

There is good deal of method IN the
madness which the county commission
ers exhibit at their sessions. While
they are fuming and roaring ut each
other big jobs are pulled through under
cover of the fire. Just now the tax
payers of Douglas county care very lit
tie about the feud between Anderson and
O'Keeffe, but they are anxiously wait
ing for the commissioners to take steps
to recover the money fraudulcntly taken
out OF the treasury by the grading con-
tractors. If it be true that there has
been forgery committed in the change
of the rate from twenty-five to thirty
five cents yard, the contractor can be
made to disgorge the overcharge. II
it be not true that there has been a
forgery the commissioners stand self
convicted OF aiding aud abetting gi-
gantic swindle, This is not all. The
question is, how did it come that the
contractor was allowed pay for seven
teen thousand yards more than the sur
veyof's estimates called for. Such
transactions cannot be allowed to pass
by in silence.
