The Leader of the Catholic Party in
the Reichstag Passes Away.
BERLIN, March 14.-Dr. Ludwig Win
thorst, the Parliamentary leader of the
Catholic party in Prussia, died at S:15
this morning.
Dr.. Winthorst at midnight was merely
able to whisper replies to inquiries as to
his condition. Suddenly, however, his
voice returned, and he evide ntly imag
ined he was in the Reichstag. DIR. Win
thorst delivered an impassionate address
in favor of the abolition of the law ex-
pelling the Jesuits from Germany. The
veteran leaders, voice while he delivered
the address could be plainly heard
through the three rooms He never
spoke after having concluded his re-
marks upon this bill.
In the Reichstag to-day President Le-
yetzow delivered the most affecting eu-
logy upon the death of DR.. Winthorst.
DIR. Winthorst was born January II,
1872. He attended the 'Carolium'' in
Osnabruck. and continued his studies at
Gottingen and Heidelberg. He became
an advocate, and then presiding member

NEVADA Cali, March IA warrant
was issued this afternoon for the arrest
of Sheriff George w. Dunster on charge
or being intoxicated to such an extent as
to unfit him for the discharge of his
official duties. Under the law the alleged
offense is a misdemeanor, and if proven
deprives the accused of Office.
The complaining witness is Mrs.
Evelyn Tamplin, who asserts that last
Monday Dunster came to her husbands
tavern armed with search warrant, and
was then too drunk to do his work. Her
attorney is eN-Superior Judge Walling.
Dunster claims that the accusation is
not justified by facts.
He is the official whose election in 1888
was so bitterly contested by his Republic
can opponent, George Lord, who alleged
that the ballots had been miscounted in
the Boston Ravine precinct. The ex-
tended litigation resulted in the Office be-
Ing awarded by the Superior Court to
Lord, but on appeal to the Supreme Court
rehearing was granted and Dunster
eventually won. Last fall he was re-
elected, many Republicans voting for
him because they believed wrong had
been inflicted upon him in the way of
veXation and expense, when the attempt
was made by Lord to keep him out OF
office the first term.

Special to the SUNDAY UNION.

WASHINGTON, March 14th.-It will be
more than month before the Bureau of
Statistics is able to publish information
concerning the internal commerce of the
eight States and Territories west of the
Rocky Mountains. All the copy is now
in the hands of the Public Printer. and it
is estimated that the volume will be com
posed of about eight hundred pages. One
hundred thousand copies viii be printed
for the use of the public, but it is feared
this will not supply the demand, as a
letter from well-known member of the
Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco
says California win want at least fifty
thousand copies. More than one hundred
thousand will be printed if found neces-
sary to supply the demand
1t was learned at the Bureau that
Washington will show the largest per-
centage OF increase of business during the
last year, but the business of California
in bulk will equal all other parts of the
district. The American vessels entered
at the port of San Francisco registered
4So. l13 tons during the last calendar year;
foreign vessels, 544, ,S25, or a total of ,030,-
53S tons. For the preceding year Ameri-
can vessels registered 4S1 $50 tons: foreign
vessels, 56l ,l64, or total of 04S, ,703 tons.
The total clearances for 1890 were I,0SO,-
91S tons, OF which 52l ,465 tons were by
American vessels and 9,5O9 by foreign
vessels.
For 1889 the clearances by American
veasels were 505,0G3 tons and foreign ves-
sells $50, 1856. or a total of l ,064, ,73S tons.
1t was stated that the information Sc
cured showed that business at the port of
San Francisco had not increased as at
Vancouver. 1t was not deemed best to
give out the figures to establish this fact,
but to allow it to come out with the pub
lished volume.
By way of explanation for San Fran
cisco's unfavorable showing, it was stated
that the subsidies to the Canadian Rail-
road and British vessels enables them to
handle business at a less rate than Ameri-
can vessels and railroads; that the Pacific
business was going to Vancouver and
carried East by the Canadian railroads,
and that much of the merchandise for the
leading commercial cities of the East
came by the British route.

ton to-day.
The first show of fire was at 6:3O O'Clock,
and in less than half an hour the new
Hogan block was destroyed. While the
fire was spreading in all directions, Chief
Reilly quickly saw that the threatened
destruction was too great for his appara-
tus to fight. He wired to Utica, Rome and
Oswego to send relief, and he had hardly
done so when the danger was suddenly
doubled. Fire and smoke burst without
warning from the top of Roscoe Bros
five-story block, in East Washington
street, four blocks away. A flying brand
from West Fayette street had caused this,
and before the already overworked fire.
men could send relief the flames were
beyond control.
The crowds of people running to West
Fayette street were appalled, to see the
fire rapidly spreading in the Roscoe's
block, with only a single stream playing
upon it.
AT $50 O'Clock fierce conf1agration was
raging IN the two upper floors of the Yates
block, and was rapidly making it's way
around the Montgomery-street corner.
The building soon collapsed, and man
who had been seen trying to save furni-
ture undoubtedly perished
From the Vanderbilt House and the
old and new Montgomery flats people
rushed in all stages of dress. Bedding,
furniture and cooking utensils We're
hustled out of the rooms, only to be en-
tangled in the meshes of wires Cart
men drove through the crowds recklessly,
in order to get the goods from the build
ings.
About o'clock the Oswego relief came
by special train, having made the run
from Lamson's nineteen miles, in seven
teen minutes. Half an hour later a
Utica engine, with hose-cart and COM
pany of firemen, came in and began play
ing ON the Washington-st street fire. The
flames, urged on by the gale, were
checked by the firemen, and two locomo-
tive fire-engines from the Central shops
We're sent to the Vanderbilt House cor
ner. They saved the hotel.
Atnoou the fires were under control.
The aggregate losses are estimated at
ST. 600, with an insurance Of at least
two-thirds.

been found and towed to Plymouth.
Upon arrival it was found that the
Suevlas low pressure cylinder was

ing the recent blizzard. AS soon as pos
sible after the accident the Suevia was
headed southwark, with the lower top
sail set. Under this sail the Suevia con
tlnued until yesterday afternoon, when
her engineers managed to disconnect the
smashed cylinder and arranged it so as
to be able to place her under steam with
one cylinder. The steamship was then
about twenty-five miles south of Bishops
Rock. AT first she was enabled to pro-
ceed at rate of six miles per hour, and
some time later she logged seven and a
half knots, and finally reached Plym-
Outh Without assistance.
