Cotton Mill Burned.

Cotton MILL Burned.
SAVANNAH, Ca, April a.-The Savan-
nah cotton mill burned this afternoon.
The fire started in the 'mule" room little
after o'clock. 1t is supposed the fire
started from heated spindle, and in an
hour nothing but the walls of the building
were left. The employees barely had time
to escape through the windows. The en-
gineer was in the engine room next to
where the fire started and attempted to un-
reel the hose. but was driven out by the in
tense heat and flames, which leaped from
room to room and covered the entire build
ing. Between ninety and one hundred
employees were in the building, but all es-
capped. The factory consisted of two build
ings, separated by narrow line through
which the employees got into the
street. The fremen played on
the building from all sides, but the
flames spread with such rapidity they
were unable to get control or even to check
them. The mill was built in 1870 at a cost,
with the machinery, of $150O0O. 1t had a
capacity of 10000 spindles and was the
only mill of the kind in Savannah. 1t was
owned by John Flannery and operated
under lease by l.. NJ. Warfeld. The total
loss. building, machinery and stock, is
100000; insurance, $4,000 During the
progress of the fire IN the mills q row of
tenement houses on the opposite side Of
the street caught fire and eight houses

For Want of Coal.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-1tis claimed
here that the war ships lost at Samoa were
without coal, and that their loss could
have been prevented had they been coaled.
A prominent firm in this city acquainted
with the Samoan coast and the imminent
danger to boats unprOvided with fuel at
this time Of the year, made an offer to Pay
master Goldsmith to supply Australian
coal to vessels at Samoa. at $40 per ton.
The firm could afford to do this, as they
sydney. The offer was referred f IT 70 the the
head of the equipment bureau at Washing
ton and refused, and the contract was
given to Philadelphia firm who shipped
1900 tons of coal tat special rates. It is
coal had ceen accepted, the disaster might
have been avoided, as coal could have been
placed on board within thirty days.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

tween the two main buildings were five
tracks and the whole was covered by one
large roof. The fire was discovered about
o'clock among some cotton buildings
filled with an almost indescribable
variety of merchandise, including large
quantity of oil, vitrol, etc, and frequent
explosions served tOintimidate the firemen.
Thirty-tive or forty loaded cars were de-
stroyed. A portion of the larger building
were stored from 10000 to 10000 bushels of
grain. besides a large amount of flour.
The fire is still burning, though entirely
under control, and it will probably be
many hours before the firemen's work is
completed. It is impossible to correctly
affirm the loss will at least aggregate
s5OOOO0, upon which there is considerable
insurance.

bound overland passenger train on the At
lantic & Pacific railroad arrived here
many hours late, having been Ill collision
Sunday afternoon with the east bound
passenger train near Peach Springs, Ari-
z0na, 100 miles beyond Needles. The
trains, drawn by two engines each, met at
sharp curve on high embankment and
came together with fearful crash, demol-
ishing the engines and throwing them
ing three or four cars with them. One
engineer jumped on the wrong side and
fell down rocky slope eighty feet He

Women as Politicians.

ST. LOUIS, April 6-The Sunday Post
Dispatch will print an interview OH poll
tics with 500 women in different parts Of
Missouri. kThese interviews show that,
while Missouri is democratic at every cleo
ton, the majority OF the women inter-
viewed are republican. Only a few are
prohibitionists and not twenty in 500 favor
full woman suffrage, but Equite number
of them would be glad to vote on license
and school questions. One woman, who
with her mother and sister pay the taxes
of an entire ward in town, cannot
understand the justice of taxation with
out representation. Their ideal statesmen
are Ingalls,, Conkling, Bayard, Vest and
Window. One lady says: "FlOrence Fol-
som Cleveland is the greatest statesman of
the day" A lady living near Rolla says:
"President Harrison's cabinet is good, with
one exception and she remarks
in regard to him that man with his
whiskers and no mOustache must be looked
upon with distrust. Mrs. Elizabeth Har-
rison, also of R0lla, says: ''Notwithsta

fire had run to almost every part of the
building and those III it had barely time
to escape with their lives. The fire was
communicated to the crockery store of
James H. Douglass & Co., Immediately
east Of Hogan's and it was all ablaze in a
jitfy. The high winds prevailing contrib
uted to spread the flames till there was not
possibility Of checking it. Their building
is one of the finest business blocks in the
city and its destruction represents a loss,
with it's contents, of $150,00O. The fire
then jumped to four story brick building
known as Oddfellows Hall. 1t was totally
destroyed. It represents a loss of $125,OOO.
Among its occupants was the Young Mems
Christian Association and several store
keepers on the ground floor. The second
of this hall was also destroyed; loss $1,000
to $4,000. The fire next spread from the
corner of Barnard and State streets through
twelve or fifteen brick dwelling houses,
completely destroying them. They repre-
sent q loss of not less than $275, 1000, in
cluding contents. The air was filled with
sparks, one of which lodged on the steeple
and South Broad streets, four or five blocks
from the starting point of the fire. The
church was totally destroyed, as was also
its handsome brick Sunday school building
and four or five contiguous dwellings,.
The city has only four fire engines and all
were needed in the business part of the city.
No attempt was made to fight the fire at the
church. Loss on church, chapel and con-
tents, 100000; loss on dwellings in the
vicinity, $4,000. In the meantime,
the firm had communicated to the cupalo
on the large four story brick building used
as store for paints, oils and builders
materials by Andrew Houley. Loss on
this building and contents, probably $780,
OOO. Across the street from this was a
handsome new brick arsenal of the Savan-
nah guards ballation, which was totally
destroyed. 1t represents loss of fully
$85.000. Ten or fifteen wooden buildings
were also burned, on which the loss is prob.
ably $4,000. It is impossible to tell where
the fire will stop, as sparks are starting
new outbursts iD spots remote from those
now burning. Charleston, Augusta and
Macon have been asked to send engines.
Total loss will doubtless reach $1,5OO,OOO
The insurance will be much less. Some
loss of life may be developed tomorrow.
At midnight the fire is under control.
No loss of life has been reported.

Chicago Election Illegal.

OAAAO&A1Os
this city were astounded this afternoon by
the announcement that it had been dis
covered that the recent election in this city
was illegal and that it was within the
power OF any citizen to overthrow it. This
state of affairs grows out OF decisions rem
dered by the supreme court of the state IN
which the election was held. This deci-
sion was that the town of Delightful Park
and other portions of the township of
Cicero had been by vote of the people on
November II, 1887, legally annexed to the
townships of south and west
Chicago. Previous to the an
nexation, the townships of south
and west Chicago were entirely included
within the limits Of the city of Chicago
While the decision of the court annexed
this new territory to the the township, it
did not operate to make it part of the city
power to extend their limits,
which rests with the city council.
Therein lies all the trouble. The general
law Of the state provides that wherever
all of township lies within the limits of a
city the city election shall be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in
April, and that wherever township is
not included within the city limits, the
election shall be held on the third Tuesday
in April. Under the decision of the SUI
preme court, the city of Chicago does en-
tirely cover the townships of South and
West Chicago and therefore the election,
instead of being held on the first Tuesday
in April, as it was, should have
been held on the third Tuesday.
Moreover the law requires that twenty
days notice of election shall be gwen, and
as the time is too short between this date
and the third Tuesday in April for legal
notice, it seems questionable whether the
mistake can be rectifed by new election
on that date. Wide fields of speculation
are opened as to the possibility Of revers-
political poi tics siand siide when when the g repab1i %
cans were defeated by the democrats by
deceiving majorities. 1t is claimed that if
the present republican administration is
willing to invoke law, it can hold over
and prevent newly elected democrats from
taking their seats. 1t is said that Mayor
alton counsel in regard to the
that it is decided as to what action shall
be taken. This evening q resident of the
annexed territory applied to Judge Jamei-
son for an Injunction restraining the elec-
ton commissioners from counting or de-
claring the vote cast. The ground taken
was that residents of the annexed strip
having no notice of election. were deprived
of their electoral rights, vitiating the
whole election. The applicant was armed
with recommendation from the master
OF chancery that an injunction be issued.
Judge Jameson set the matter for hearing
at 9 O'Clock for tomorrow morning.

Window Buying Bonds.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary Win
dom to-day verified the prediction made
several days ago that he would buy per
cent. bonds if offered at reasonable rates,
by accepting S1S76, 900 bonds at that loan
at $1.29. He also established the highest
price he will pay for ~ per cent. by
accepting $S2, 500 of that class Of bonds at
$1.O8 and rejecting offers aggregating
$16SS,OOO at $1.O81. 1t was learned this
afternoon that the above rates viz: $1.29
for per cents. and $108 for ~ per cents.
will govern bond buying operations of the
government for some time to come, unless
some unforeseen disturbance should occur
in the money market to require a modifi-
cation of this policy. 1t is regarded as
likely that Secretary Window, in dealing
with the surplus question, will confine
himself for the present to the purchase of
bonds without attempting any radical
change in the system of national bank de-
posits adopted by his predecessor. The
surplus to-day is stated at $65,000,O00, an
increase of $l0,OO0,OO0 since the 4th of
March. The total amount Of bonds pur-
chased up to date under circular of April
18th is $128,917 900, of which $S2.71S,000
were per cents. and $76, ,20l 900 were ~
per cents. The cost of these bonds was
$15O222 ,s2O, of which $67, ,7Oo,9s9 was paid
for 1 per cents. and $s2,521 1,6Sl was paid
for ~ per cents.
CHINESE AFFAIRS.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary of

this affair as furnishing another lesson of
the danger in which foreigners continually
live in China. There is no telling when
like events may transpire in any part Of
the empire. Minor outrages are continu-
ally happening, and his legation, he states,
has mover been without reclamadors Of
some kind for injuries so committed.
