JONES, OWENS s CO.
A Wire Goods Firm on Street Also
Suffers q Loss.

A Wire Goods Firm on Street Also
Suffers q Loss.
Despite the good work of the fremen,
the fire pushed its way southwark from the
rear of the burning building and attacked
a storeroom in the rear of Jones, Owens &
Co., of 200 ] street, dealers in wire goods
on large scale. The store-house was con-
sumed aud its stock of goods went down in
the flames.
As nearly as the firm could tell, there
was from 1000 to $500 worth of goods
in the building. which they considered a
dead loss. The insurance thereon was
S.. 900 or S. 1000.
The larger portion Of the stock of this
firm was in the main store, fronting on ]
street, hut the basement thereof was leased
by the Sullivan-Kelly Company, who had
stored therein large number of barrels of
infiammabie material, into which the FIRE
had worked its wsy.
At 1l:30 O'Clock the firemen had several
lines of hose into the basement under this
store, where they were contesting every
inch of the fires progress Half an hour
later they had it under control.
1t was o'clock this morning when the
big whistle at the Water Works announced
that the FIRE had been extinguished.

WELL MANAGED.

The Fire Department Complimented on
Its Efficiency.
There were numbers of strangers at the
FIRE, some San Franciscans who are here
attending the races. and also several of the
members of the New England Pioneer
party. They were all loud in praise of the
manner in which the Sacramento Fire De-
partment handled the fire, and were especi.
ally warm in their euioeies upon the
heroism of the officers and men when
fighting their way to the breast of the con-
fagration.
One elderly Massachusetts, man, wearing
badge of the visiting party, declared that
up his way they think they have about the
best departments in "all creation" but he
thought that there are none of them that
could have done better work than that he
saw last night performed by the Sacra-
mento firemen.

THERE is vigorous and manly tone in
the Presidents letter to the Attorney
General instructing him to see to it that
the processes of the Federal Courts are
served and the laws of the nation exc
cuted in Florida, even if it is necessary to
call upon the Executive to throw all the
power of the United States into the effort.
If the Federal Government cannot execute
the decree of its Courts in Florida. it is
time for it to confess that the scheme of a
republic is failure. The Presidents let
ter gives the Florida lawless element to
understand that if they continue in their
resistance to the laws they must prepare to
measure arms with the strongest nation of
the Western hemisphere. 1t is such de-
claration as that just made by President
Harrison that gives confidence to the peo-
pie in the power of the Government to
preserve their liberties and maintain de-
crees of the Courts, which are the final
barriers to oppression and the chief safe
guard of the rights of person and of prop
erty.

BISMARCK has broken through his habit
and given to a reporter an extended state
ment of his views concerning the antici-
pated trouble in Europe on the LIST of
May. What he says on the subject of re-
preston can be summed up in two sem
fences. Were he in power he would make
no aggressive movements, but with indiffer-
ence, apparently, look upon the parades
and demonstrations of strikers; but if any
breach of the law was committed he would
be prompt to punish it and prevent its
continuance. He believes that there is
more to be feared from repressive iegisla-
tion and action than from liberty to agi-
tate. Both threats and promises should
be avoided by Government, and rulers
should not forget that outward attempts to
prevent mischief are often the sole reason
for the mischief existing. There is wis
dom in these declarations that will not be
much antagonized. Bismarck was free to
say to the reporter, that in his opinion
stIlhcIS are
received by them as confessions of fear on
the part of the Government and they
therefore become more aggressive. Still,
Bismarck would have Governments at all
times conserve their strength sufficiently
to command the ability to enforce the
judgments of the Courts and the Execu-
tive in the execution of the laws and
the preservation of peace. But it
is singular that while in Office Prince
Bismarck did not impress his critics as
entertaining any such liberal views con-
corning labor agitation. He was accredited
as a repressionist at heart, and that fear of
him operated in that direction is unlues-
toned. Further on in the interview re-
ferred to, the ex-Chancellor touches upon
the subject of the capacity of the people to
go vern, and leaves no doubt in the readers
mind concerning his idea on that head.
He does not, in fact, believe that the
people are capable of governing them
selves, and be adheres to the line Of
thought that, exemplifed in his political
ca reer, made him the strongest supporter
in Europe Of the absolutist theory and Of
mona rchial institutions.

The fears that agitate parts of Europe

The fears that agitate parts of Europe
concerning the May Day labor demonstra-
fions are not probably exaggerated by the
press dispatches. Undoubtedly the center
of the anticipated storm will be in Austria.
and the anti-Semitic feeling there will
tend greatly to provoke outbreaks that
may result in scenes of great brutality.
The officials, however, in Germany and in
Austria appear to think that there will be
no great difficulty in preventing serious
riots. One reason for the belief of quiet
prevailing throughout Germany is based
upon the fact that large body of work.
ingmen are bitterly opposed to the demon
strations intended, and hold that such
anifestations will result in the defeat of
reforms desired by the workingmen that
can be accomplished by legitimate and
peaceful means. Certainly this is sound
Judgment. Revolutions entitled to rank
as such are never appointed by pro-
gramme, and are not to be worked off as
is piece of dramatic mechanism. When
revolutions in Europe come to stay, they
will be the unexpected, and will take on
forms for which there has been no pro-
gramme reparation-certainly for which
there has been no pre-announcement. We
may therefore reasonably conclude that, so
far as the May Day demonstrations are
concerned, they will not develop activities
for which the European Governm ents are
not fully prepared, and that while they
may be, unquestionably will be factors in
social changes of the century, and possibly
political revolutions also, the immediate
manifestations will not result as tragicaIly
as the fearful think will be the case. In
England the demonstrations on the LIST
and the 4th of May will probably be very
much like many that have preceded them.
There appears to be no fear there that
there will be any lawlessness, and no ex-
traordinary precautions have been taken
by the authorities. In France, the fear
OF trouble grows out of political agitations
as much as out of fears of rioting by work.
ingmen, and the city of Paris seems to be
the only locality of any moment where
even such fears are entertained But it is
unlikely that in France there will be any
serious troubles, for the wage-earners are
there well situated, compared with the
condition of those of Austria; in France,
also, the ill results of domestic strife in
arms would be visited directly and imme-
diately upon the small industries of the
Republic, fact that the French fully APP

MAYOR Grant of New York is in very
hot water. While his denial must be
accepted as against McCann's charges of
bribery and corruption until further proof
is made, the revelations concerning the

picion that Mccain tells the truth.

Gallant Firemen.

Pedestrians passing along Second street
between I and streets, last night shortly
after 10 o'clock, noticed smoke issuing
from the cellar beneath the Sullivan
Kelly Company's large paint and oil store.
A peculiar odor, like burning oil, was also
niceable.
Little attention was paid to the matter at
first, but few moments later, as the
smoke grew more dense and the odor
more pronounced. the suspicious of some
were aroused that all was not well.
Several parties investigated and soon
discovered that fire had broken out in
some portion of the building
in the cellar.
An alarm was promptly turned in from
box %, on the corner of Third and K
streets. As usual the Fire Department was
on hand in short order, Engine No. being
on the ground but q few moments after
the alarm sounded. Chief O'Meara, upon
his arrival, recognized at once that he had
to contend with what all hremen have
learned to fear-a "blind" fire.
There was no knowing where the blaze
was.
The Chief ordered general alarm
sounded Immediately and the entire de.
partment was soon on the ground.
Meanwhile the smoke was growing
blacker and so dense that the building was
completely hidden from view. Now it
seemed to be issuing from the roof too.
