Seattle, Washington, Destroyed.
Nearly all the business portion of
Seattle, state of Washington, was de
stroyed by fire on the 7th inst. About
3 o. m, yesterday, some turpintine
caught fire in the basement Of a two
story frame building on the south
west corner of Front and Madison
streets. The building, which was
owned by Mrs. Margaret J. Putrus,
and the first story of which was
leased by the Seattle Shoe Company,
and the upper floor being occupied
by offices, was soon ablaze. The
wind was blowing at the time and
though the fire companies worked
valiently the fire spread till 81 acres
of ground was burned over entailIng
an estimated loss of twenty millions
of dollars. It is believed that several
lives were also lost. The district
burned in Seattle covers an area OF
thirty-one blocks Words fail to de
scribe the awful picture of the fire
and desOlation. 1t is like the Chica-
go fire, and like Chicago will be re-
built. Everybody seems in good
spirits as it is hard to realize the
dreadful loss of this sudden calamity.
When TOkIas & Singerman's building
fell about thirty people were near il
and many of them were crushed
Similar accidents befell most of the
large building.

to suppose that he would put in op-

DEEP WATER.
Latest News and Views Concerning the
River and Harbor Bill

Latest News and Views Concerning the
River and Harbor Bill.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-It is stated
to-day on the authority of Senator Coke
and Congressman Grain that the president
has indicated his intention of vetoing the
river and harbor bill should it get to him.
These gentlemen called on him to-day
with reference to Galveston harbor, and,
after laying their proposition before him,
he suggested to them they had better have
it put in separate bill, as he did not
think the river and harbOr bill of this
session would become law. This is in
terpreted to mean he would interpose a
veto should the bill reach him.
The president was reported last week to
have intimated in an interview that he
would veto the pending river and harbor
bill if it should pass congress. There has
been some curiosity here since to know
Just what he said and to whom he said it..
rhe matter came up in the course of a
conversation with some Texas representa-
tives of the deep water interest with
reference to Galveston harbor. Colonel
Greshman, the spokesman, informed the
president that it was proposed TO make an
appropriation to defray the OK
penses of commission, but
no money would be asked of
the present congress to carry on the work
While admitting the Importance of the
proposed work, Mr.. Cleveland suggested
that any legislation in aid of it would be
more sure of success if enacted otherwise
than in the river and harbor bill. Mr..
Grain asked if he intended to veto the bill,
to which the president replied:
'All such questions are more easily an
swered when the time comes for their ex-
ecutive consideration. merely remarked
that if was interested in such measure,
and wanted to secure without probability
of failure, 1 would not trust to the river
and harbOr bill"

A NEW LINE.

The Capitol Syndicate Want Railroad
to Their Land in the Panhandle.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
FORT WORTH, January 2.-It can almost
be regarded as a certainty that there will
be, in short time, work on new line of
railroad that will penetrate the northwest
ern part of Texas. Who will build this
road, or where it will start from, has not
yet been determined on. There is more
than one syndicate figuring on this enter
prise, and it will be but short time until
matters connected with it will assume
shape. Capitalists of st. Joe. Mo-. have
had party of engineers in the field, and
line has been surveyed from Fort Worth
TO point about 100 miles northwest,
The capitol syndicate, which built the cap
itol building at Austin and which has ac-
quired large landed interests in the north
western part of the state, is determined to
construct railroad that will connect these
lands with this part of Texas. There are
fine coal deposits in these lands and this
is one thing that has induced the syndi-
cate to this conclusion. 1t is the inten
tion to throw cheap coal from the mines
which will hereafter be developed into
Fort Worth and Dallas. The only thing
that is now causing hitch
is the question of where the
road will start from. From all that
can be learned the syndicate favors
Fort Worth as the point, but the question
of starting the road at Dallas and build
ing from there to Fort Worth and thence
to the northwest is being considered. 1t
is feared if the road is started from Dallas,
paralleling the Texas and Pacific to Fort
Worth, that some big railroad official will
be sntagonized, and for this reason no
decision has yet been arrived at. There
are agencies at work that will certainly
cause this road to be built by some one.

a DUEL TO TIE DEATH.

A Texan and Gambler Kill Each Other
in Potosi, Mexico.
Special telegram to The Statesman.
LAREDO, Tex, January 3.-The Mexican
national passenger train, which arrived in
this city this morning, brought in the re-
mains of Curtis Armstrong, who was
killed New Years night in San Luis Po-
tosi, Mexico, by a gambler named Gull
neau, who was himself killed in turn.
The particulars are as follows: Armstrong
and some friends were shaking dice in
Fisk's saloon when the gambler en-
tered and bantered Armstrong to shake
for 50. He consented, then shook
and he lost. Guilneau then proposed that
they shake for 800, which Armstrong
agreed to, but on looking in his pocket
book found he had not that amount with
him. He said his word was good, at which
Guilneau cursed and made some insulting
remarks. Hot words ensued, and GuiIneau
started to draw his pistol when Armstrong
also drew, and they fired simultaneously.
Guilneau dropped dead, shot through
the heart Armstrong fell, but arose and
said to friend: "Let Us go, am shot,"
He walked block and a half and then
fell dead, the main artery to his heart
having been severed by Guilneau's bullet.
Armstrong was a civil engineer, and
superintendent of bridge construction ON
the Mexican National under j. H. Hamp-
son, the contractor. His body will be
forwarded to Plano, this state, where he
has relatives, for burial

THE PROMISED LAND.

The Oklahoma Boomers Lay Out the
Town of Springer.
KANSAS CRY, January 3.-A letter has
been received at Arkansas City, Kan,
from Springer, Pottawattamie county,
Oklahoma, stating that the town was laid
out December 81 and Indian Territory
cattlemen elected town officers. On De-
cember 16 fourteen Oklahoma boomers
were captured by Lieutenant Macomb and
a posse of twenty Indian scouts, but two
days later the boomers were released on
orders from some superior authority and
they are now in the promised Land" and
have takeu up claims. The band was
headed by Captain Summers, government
freight agent at Oklahoma station, and he
and his followers propose to hold Springer
at all odds. On December 16 the popu-
lation of the place was not more than fifty,
but on December 81 it was at least 500.

A SINGULAR oIRcUMsT TANoE.

An Old Clock Stops Ticklng at the Death
of the Old Year.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, January 2.-Alderman
Richey has had an experience with his old
family clock that causes him to look upon
the ancient relic with feeling akin to
superstition. The clock has been keeping
splendid time in the alderman's house for
the past seven years. On the night of
December 81 he entertained watch party
at his residence, and the old
clock informed the watchers of
the death of the old year by
twelve vigorous strokes. Then the pen
dulum was seen to suddenly stop
ticking. From that hour he has been un-
able to get the clock to run. The local
papers wrote the incident up extensively
and since the r.oanlng of the first Alder
man Richeys mouse has been besieged by
crowds of curious people, mostly negroes,
who look upon the clock as hoodoo.

Governor Ames, Messape

BosToN, Mass., January 2.-Governor
Ames sent in his usual message to the
legislature to-day. He advises the early
submission to the people of a prohibition
amendment, and advocates an increase of
penalties for violation of the liquor law.
He thinks it would be wise to substitute
Imprisonment for fines in such cases.
The state has expended over $700O0OO
during the past year for the education of
100000 PERSONS The savings banks con-
tain $31,518,507, an increase of over $12,-
100000 during the past year; number of
open accounts being 9S3,202. In regard to
state prisons, he says: "The industries at
state prisons where business is transacted
on the public account system, are in
very satisfactory condition. Under this
system the discipline of the prison is now
much better maintained than it was under
that of the contract system, and the finan-
cial results will prove much more salts
