Human Bones Found In the Ruins.
SEATTLE, June l2-Evidences that
there were persons burned in the fire
have been discovered. In the San
Francisco store ruins, bones of human
hand were found. This is probably
what remains of the unfortunate fire.
man reported lost in this building.
What is supposed to be the skeleton of
human being was found in the ruins
of the Eureka lodging house yester-
day afternoon. A couple of bones and
a small piece of charred queue, all that
remained Of an unfortunate Chinaman,
were found in the ruins of one of the
China houses on South Third street
The bones found in the San Francisco
store and mt the China house were ex-
amined by DR.. Sweeney and he pro-
nounced them to be those of human
beings This adds two unfortunates
to the list of those already lost hereto
fore where the bones were found ex-
cept in the San Francisco. Smoke
from the ruins has almost ceased. All
over the city are scenes of activity, the
sound of the hammer and saw is heard
in every direction. Everybody is get
ting into new quarters as fast as posi-
BILE. A hundred tents went up yes
terday and fully as many more to-day.
Among the ruins fully 2,0Q0 men are
employed. Picks and shovels are flash
ing in the air and sites for new build
ings are being rapidly cleared. Men
are cleaning brick, wagons are hauling
material of all kinds and surveyors are
locating boundaries of lots. The scene
is certainly novel and exciting one,
but it is also a sad one Seattle is rap
idly rising from I'll" a.i.cs and is plum
ing her wings .ar rapid flight back to
her former business prosperity. The
business men still retain their un-
bounded confidence in the future and
are working hard to get back into bust
meas. Inside OF two weeks the major
portion will have stocks of goods and
will be selling them, of course, in quar-
tiers very much abridged in size and ac-
cOmmOdatiOns.

Generous America.

Upon the subject of the rcadi-
ness with which the American people
respond to calls for aid from the suf-
ferring, the Seattle Journal. a few days
ago, published the following editorially.
Little did its editor think that, within
forty eight hours, his paper would
chronicle a state Of suffering, in his
own city, to alleviate which, required
contributions from abroad, and the re-
Spouse was as ready and magnani-
nous as it was in thc case ut Johns
town. The Journal says:
Whatever may be tlc faults Of the
American people, they are Il generous
race, whose hearts are opened to SYM
pathv hy every appeal from their sui
fering fellow creatures. In time OF
disaster and suffering the American
people always make Il hearty and
ready response. Thi, is well illus
trated by the way III which aid Is
poured in on the suffering people Of
Johnstown and vicinity. While
thousands OF people are suffering and
homeless, there is little doubt but Their
wants in the way OF food, clothing and
money will he supplied. As extensive
as is the track OF the devastating food
and as numerous as are the people in
want, the sympathy and aid of the
American people will he equal to the
occasion. Ii ever case called iol
ready sympathy, this one certainly
does. Nothing can eflace the memory
of the dead of those awful days, but
human aid and human sympathy can
do much now to alleviate the suffering
and smooth the hard path of the
wretched survivors, who certainly de
serve and need every aid and sympathy
that can possibly be extended tc

The weight of water held above the
Conemaugh valley by the South Fork
dam was 100000 tons. This had a
fall of 500 feet before it reached Johns
town. IL it any wonder that the val
ley was swept? The ccnsure that has
been placed upon the Pittsburg Fish
ing Club, that maintained this dam, ii
most merited. The western Trades
Assembly, OF Western Pennsylvania
has held meeting and, among other
things, resolved that "since it is
proven that the dam or the South
Fork Park Lake did burst, and that
the members OF the Club were aware
OF the dangerous condition, as they in
dictate by interviews in the public
press that it had always been source
OF worry to them, we believe them
guilty of the lives of the thousands
who have persisted"

The latest advices from the scene OIL
the disaster ut Johnstown state thai
great fears are entertained that pesti
lence, with all its concomitants Of
horror, will cap the climax of misfor
tune that has visited that unfortunate
region. No doubt, all human effort:
will be brought to bear to stay SC
frightful a ,isitation; but with putre
flying and decaying human bodies, ex
posed to the heat OF summer sun
without chance OF interment, it il
difficult to perceive how scourge can
be averted? History is pregnant with
facts showing that whenever plague
epidemic or pestilence has commenced
its onward march of death and des
truction, no human agency has been
able to cope with 1t or stay its progress
Something in nature, such as atmos
pheric changes, must interpose to
check it in its death-dealing career
Let us hope that no such calamity
will Overtake our stricken brethren
and that something may step in tl
remove these fears now so well
grounded.

THE PROPER SPIRr.-The morning
after the Seattle fire, Mr.. Frye the own
er of the opera house, one of the first
buildings to succumb to the fiery ele-
mcnt, asked the agent of the company
in which his insurance had been placed
if there would be any delay in getting
his money. "Oh no." replied the
agent, 81 see no need of adjustment.
The loss is total" Then, replied Mr..
Frye, I'm begin reconstruction as
soon as the brick walls are cold enough
to remove them" Mr.. Collins made
substantially the same remark when
asked when the Occidental would be
rebuilt. Mr.. Yesler, when somebody
asked if he felt scorched, said: Yes
somewhat so; but not nigh as much as
John Rodgers did when he was burned
at the stake" 1t is such irrepressible
men as these that put Seattle at the
head of the procession, and they will
see that she still carries the banner, and
keeps step to the lively notes Of the
march of progress which are begin
ming to sweep all over the coast.

at , 30 o'clock the Cascade steam laun

Seattle, was discovered to be on fire
The fire had already gained such a
start that it was utterly impossible tc

efforts were made by the department
with such facilities as they could com

which is estimated OF $4,000. Origin
OF the fire unknown.
Two hundred men were put to work

were placed under charge of Colonel
Haines, and will clear the streets in
the burned district, and tear down the
walls of the burned brick build.

DESTRUCTIVE conilagrations have
been numerous in the United States
within the past twenty years. The
great Chicago fire, which occurred Oc-
tober Sth, 1871, in which $50 persons
persisted, $500 rendered destitute, % :
600 buildings destroyed, and a total loss
of 1920, OOO, 600, has not been equalled
before or since that time. Yet, de-
structive and calamitous as it was,
Chicago arose from her ruins, like a
vast colossus, and to-day, stands a
towering monument to the energy, en-
terprise, courage and indomitable per-
severance of the citizens OF this great
American Republic. And who doubts
that the same spirit which manifested
itself so grandly in the citizens of Chi
cago does not prevail amid the ruins
of Seattle? Certainly no one who
takes thought, will for a moment, be-
lieve that the spirit of enterprise has
withered in the breasts of Seattle's
prominent men. As surely as there is
sun i'll the planetary system, so
surely will Seattle arise, like the tabled
bird of Mythology, from her ashes, and
take her place foremost among the
cities of the great Northwest. Like
her prototype, Chicago, nothing can
stop her onward march. All her citi-
zens have to Go is to keep step to the
music, and proudly, grandly will she
reach the front, victorious and trium-
plant.

AMONG Tacoma's philanthropists,
prominently stands Mr.. Allen C. Ma
son. When the news reached Tacoma
that Seattle was in ruins, he gave Or
ders at every bakery to run the oven
all night, and in the morning he char
tered steamer and loaded her with q
thousand loaves of bread, large sup
ply of hams and other provisions, and
sent her to the people who were tenn
porarily bereft of home. And he was
not alone in the good work. Many
others responded nobly to the necessity
for aid. The memory of such acts is
craven upon the heart in characters
which will remain while the marble
shaft crumbles to dust. They make
humanity better by showing that the
world is indeed akin.

Martial Law.

Seattle is under martial law and
the Daily Press OF Saturday evening
thus describes the situation: Colonel
j. c. HaincS OF the First Regiment is
making good record a. military
governor of the city The several
companies are under strict discipline,
and are executing the orders given
them in true military style. They are
armed with rifles loaded with ball. and
with bavonets fixed. Their orders are
to fire on persons detected in the COM
mission Of crime The guard Is
changed frequently. 50 that they are
kept in good trim all the time. The
city has an aspect of war times. Sen
tries are posted over the entire burned
portion and at places where property
is piled up or stored. No one is al
lowed to pass 4 sentry unless he has
permission from headquarters. At
night the scene Is even more thrilling.
"Halt, who comes thcrc?" rings out on
the air with IA startling effect And the
person hailed, sees the ominous muZ-
zle OF a gun and glittering bayonet
directed toward him. He is then COM
manded to advance and give the coun-
tersign, or to account for himself il out
after s o'clock. III the person chal-
lenged is not going to his home and
has no permit, he is turned back or
| placed under arrest. The consequence
is that shortly after 8 o'clock the
streets are pretty clear OF people. So
far the soldiers and police have had but
little trouble, as their orders and duties
are pretty generally understood by the
people. The police force has been
greatly increased, and is well disci-
plined under Chief Butterfield. They
are well armed and act in conjunction
with the militia. A great many OF the
tough element have left town, and
those who remain are spotted. All
suspicious characters are watched, and
the depredations already committed is
a justification for the guard and Off
GERS taking the life of the next often
der. Very good order has prevailed,
and the fear of general pillage no
longer exists. Especial note has been
made of the Tacoma and Port Blakely
companies, who have conducted them
selves in IL creditable, sollierly manner
1t is expected that martial law will be
. suspended some time next week, but
the militia will be held in readiness for
orders at all times.

IT seems to worry Emperor Norton
II very much that the writer is q
member of the City Council, and he
constantly and childishly declares
that he could not be reelected. Pos
sibly SO, possibly not; but there would
not be particle of doubt of the defeat
OF Tom Cavanaugh if he we're to run
for as humble an Office as that of Dog
Pelter. Even his party associates
passed resolutions of censure upon
him when he misrepresented his coun-
ty in the last Territorial Convention.

MARITAL law has again been deemed
necessary i'll Seattle. The causes that
led to it should have been removed
AS soon as the military forces, which
have been in possession of that city
for the past few days were withdrawn
the turbulent element began its work
of pillagc. Like carrion birds, that
feed upon decay, these miscreants
swooped down upon the city's ruins
and robbed and plundered until the
citizens were again compelled to secure
the aid Of the militia. Why does Sc
attic permit such state of disorder to
exist? Why does she not organize a
law and order committee, and drive
from her midst the social vermin
which has SO long disturbed her?
Surely, a love OF decency and respect
for good morals demands a heroic rem
edy for those who have neither de-
cency nor good morals. Down
with the vile herd Of ex-convicts,
opium fiends, scarlet women, tin-horn
gamblers and Migrants who have
brought reproach to our sister city
Why permit the ofl-scourings and
sweepings of the slums of great and
wicked cities, the refuse of the Fau-
borg st. Antoine to mix and mingle with
responsibility? Why hug viper?
Certainly the uprising of influential
citizens, properly organized, could
compel those who defy the law to take
fight, and in this way Seattle could
rid herself of these moral lepers and
thus purify her moral atmosphere.

THE Walla Walla Union thus pays

THE Walla Walla Union thus pays a
compliment to the citizens of Olympia
Olympia is somewhat smaller than
Walla Walla, but it seems to have
more enterprise, to have a better eye
for things needed, and more courage
in putting their spare funds into such
ihings. In one thing is this especially
shown, and that is in the matter of
hotel facilities. Olympia, like Walla
Walla, needed first-class hotel, and,
unlike Walla Walla, they are building

An evidence of the business and
growth of Olympia lies in the fact that
the three mills of the city, including
the one at Tumwater, are unable to
supply the demand for lumber. As a
result, work on some of the contracts
is embarrassed and worEmen Temporal
nly thrown out of employment. The
fault is not with the mills, for all the
mills are running to their fullest ca
paeity. The cause lies in the growth
of the city, that is rapidly leading in
the growth of the Territory. Although
the situation is fortunate in many
respects, it deserves the attention
of our business interests. Let new
mills be built. With the manufacture
ing facilities surrounding the city-tim-
Der and water transportation for logs
and the world for a market for lum-
Der, there can be no possibility of the
manufacturing business being over
done. Surely the home demand should
be supplied.

The Capital.

Upon the subject OF the capital OF
the future State of Washington the
Spokane Falls RerieW takes the ground
that the capital better bc left whore it
Is for the next few wears ut least. 1t
says: No doubt strong lobby will
besicge the Constitutional Convention
for action in favor of some of these
candidates. bat little reflection will
doubtless convince most people that
it Is not best for the Constitutional
Convention to undertake to provide
for change in the capital OF the state
III this time. 1t i quite generally con-
coded that at some time in the near
future the seat OF government OF the
future state should bc brought over to
a more central location; but since this
has been deferred until now the adj
mission to statehood has been provided
for it would seem to be better to leave
the capital where il is until the lands
donated by the government for use in
this connection may he selected and
disposed OF and fund thus secured
for the erection of new buildings.
The buildings now in Use at Olympia
will serve very well for n few years
until the fund provided for may he
realized 10y the state from the disposal
of lands, as provided in the admission
act, and by That time new location
may tie agreed upon and the buildings
may be erected under the supervision
OF state authorities duly appointed for
that purpose.
a little delay need not work any
injury to the interests of any of the as
pirants, but will on the contrary af-
ford better opportunity for the pre-
sentation of their respective claims,
and at time when so many other
questions are not claiming public at
tentlon. Viewed IN this light the true
interests of the state would perhaps
lee subscrved should the Constitutional
Convention provide that the capital
OF the State of Washington shall re-
main at Olympia until otherwise pro
vided 10y the Legislature, either by
direct action or in accordance with a

THE alacrity with which the people
Of the United States have responded
to the call for aid for the unfortunate
Johnstown sufferers, shows that we are
not altogether mercenary people. No
better evidence could be presented of
our sympathetic nature and our fellow
feeling towards suffering brethren
than the rapidity with which money
and provisions have been poured
into that sorrow-stricken city. All
over our vast country, from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, in the obscure hamlets
as we'll as in the great cities, material
aid has been bestowed with lavish
hand. Yes, truly the American people
are as generous, as sympathetic and
as noble as any people in the world.
No matter from what quarter the cry
of distress is heard, their hearts and
their pocket books open wide to allevi-
ate this wall.
