theory of the Late Opera House Fire.
Accidently Shot
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TYLER, December 29.-The idea that
the recent opera house was set on fire by
gas explosion is entirely erroneous. On
examination the gasoline tank and con-
tents were found to be intact. The tank
is of cast iron and was sunk in the ground
six feet, distance of sixteen feet from
the building, with pipe with complete
shut off running to the house connections
The apparatus for producing the gas had
not been used for a week. Mr.. Charles
Latham, one of the first fremen on the
scene, said he entered the basement and
examined the cock connectinn with the
tank and found it secure and that the fire
was burning several feet away from where
the piping entered che building.

The juneau, (Alasks), Free Press says:
"The statements. made by Mrs. voorhees,
in regard to the abuse of native women
and girls in Alaska are absolutely falls in
every particular"
Denying ell her statements, it further
says; "The civilized people in the wilds
OF Alaska are as refined and advanced as
all good citizens of the United States
should be, and that none of the horrible
acts attributed to them have occurred
within the knowledge of the oldest inhabi-
tant. The so-called lowest animal pas
| sions of rough miners do not, as a rule,
show themselves here, as they are
naturally subdued by bard work, and want
of leisure to indulge in them. The same
argument applies to the low animal pas
sions OF hunters and trappers, who find
no time for hunting and trapping In
dians."
Governor Swinford is busily engaged
at Sitka writing his annual report Of
Alaska. The governors review of mining

ing done in the way of improvements,
