asked by the chief sunday 10 provide slip
on his dock so the engine could back down

Law in times OF fire IN that locality.
Mr.. Mcdonald said yesterday that the
department. was IN better position than
il had ever been to fight ire and that there
were now enough paid men, engines and
hose 70 oppose any common nre. The city
council has purchased two new steam fire
engines and chemical engine ard large
amount OF hose. and will procure more en-
yineS and additional hose and more hy-
tfrarts at the earliest possible moment

The chief thought = patrol service might
be kept up by the insurance companies,
and that ii they would start one the busi-

cost.
The places that are now the most in need
OF protection from fire are Yesler's dock,
Whiteehapel and the coal hunkers. All
the points in the city where the chief fears
fires may start are frequently visited and
the firemen are carefully instructed as to
what should be done should an alarm call
them to those localities.

Rim yaa Wrinkle.


On Friday Hungarian at Glen Rock
awoke from fourteen days sleep, and the
people in this neighborhood now call him
Rip Van Wrinkle. \ little more than three
weeks ago the Hungarian commenced
drinking, and II is believed that he drank
eight gallons of mixture of the worst
whisky and beer in the coal regions. After
six DAYS OF spreeing he fell into stupor,
and was in that condition several days
when he was discovered by an overseer of
the poor lying in the bushes along the road
side. The overseer. after unsuccessful at
tempts TO arouse him, carried the limp
body into shanty and he slept Tor four
days. During that time he was visited by
many persons IN the neighborhood and
they made great efforts TO awaken him,
but. like one in trance, he continued 10
sleep. When physician examined him
his circulation was regular and his pulse
registered sixty-four. He is all right now
and says he will stop drinking.

FIRST EMANCIpAToR.

Mr.. DEPEw's attempt in his centen-
NAL grafton to trace to WASHINGTON
the principles of LINCoLN's emancipa-
ton proclamation had the effect of
starting the historians to work in an en-
deayOr to find the proof of it. The
result of their researches has been dis
astrous to Mr.. DEPEw's theory. Lord
DUNMoRE, who was the English colonial
governor OF Virginia at the breaking
out of the Revolution, is discovered to
have been the first emancipation, or at
least the. first one to issue an emancipa-
ton proclamation. In an endeavOr to
raise military force to sustain British
supremacy in the colony, he issued a
proclamation offering freedom to the
slaves, in which he outlined scheme
for organizing them into military COM
panies. But it so happened that Lord
DUNMORE's scheme for emancipation
was defeated by the able generalship OF
WASHINGTON. BURKE, the historian,
imputes to DUNMoRE the same design
in pursuing his emancipation policy as
Mr.. LINCOLN declared was his. 1t is a
pity to have to destroy MI. DEPEw's
happy association Of WASHINGTON and
LINCOLN, but the truth of history is
mightier than the polish Of OratOry.

THE SAND STORM.

The predictions made a week or two
ago by the weather prophets, that we
were to have electrical storms of I'M
usual severity about this time, did not
prepare us for the peculiar atmospheric
disturbances that have been expe-
rienced for the last three days. 1t has
been more in the nature of a simeon
than anything else we can compare it
to. Hot, dry winds have been blowing
almost necessarily for three days, in
creasing in violence all the time. and
the whole air has been flied with an
extremely subtle and penetrating dust.
Aside from the inconvenience and an
noyance these high winds have in
flicted, they have proved to be posi-
tive calamity. They have parched the
earth, dried up the swollen streams,
added to the fierceness of the forest
fires, and in many localities have blown
the wheat from the ground. By to-day
the wind will probably have expended IFS
force, and with it's subsistence there
will be hopes of the much-needed rain.

KNOW HE WAS MURDERED.
Mrs. COnklin Speaks Mysteriously
of CrOnin

CHICAGO, May There is nothing
particularly new or startling in the DR..
Cronin mystery to-day. The doctor is
simply still unaccounted for. Mr.. and
Mrs. COnklin, with whom the doctor
lived, are still very perturbed about the
affair. A reporter found them to-day
to be even more excited than they were
Yesterday. When he entered the room
Mrs. Conklin was pacing up and down
the room, talking incOherently. AT
last she stopped in front OF the reporter
and said rather fiercely and with COM
pressed lips: 1--WE know that DR..
Cronin was murdered" THAT is pretty
broad statement" said the repO rter.
Il know it is, and l comprehend the
gravity of it, but when l say it l mean
it. We know that Dr.. Cronin was MUIR
dered, for we have received positive in
formation to that effect" Mr.. COnklin
then said: "All that my wife has said
is true. We have the information. and
have it from most reliable source. Ii
you knew as much as do about the
inside workings of the plots of the gang
against the doctors life you would he
bewildercd-astound We are OH the
track of the villain, and have hired de-
tectives to hunt up the clews am in
possession of. There is going to be
big surprise" He was cut short at
this point by an admOnition from his
wife to the effect that too much had
already been said. and all efforts to Sc
cure any further statements about the
matter were irultless.

However, on the Republican side For
AKER is likely to be recognized as a
prominent aspirant, and this fact may
require SENATOR SHERMAN to remain
in Europe most of the campaign. 1t is
believed the contest will be hotter
than the presidential canvass of last
year, and the result in doubt. The Re-
pubiicans have always carried the state
in the national contests, but between
times the Democrats are quite apt to
come in and elect senator. ii not the
state officers. The Republicans will make
desperate effort to hold their ground
and gain the senator. The legislature
chosen two years ago had majority OF
thirty-four for the Republicans, which
are large figures for the Democrats to
overcome. They are, however, in good
fighting trim, and will make a strong
effort. The administration will bring
all its resources to bear, as it will be on
trial, and the president will have per-
sonal interest in being indorsed by his
neighDOrS and the state of his nativity.
