A DANGEROUS FIRE
The Timber South of the City Field
of Fire

The Timber South of the City a Field
of Fire
Yesterday morning the timber on the
hillside south Of the city, across the rail-
road track and directly opposite the
electric light station, was set fire by the
persons engaged in clearing the land.
During the afternoon a stin breeze sprung
up and in a short time the fire had spread
TO the adjoining timber, and very soen
after the entire hillside was one great
roaring mass Of flames. The wind was
blowing from the southeast and the
smoke from the fire was carried to the
lower part OF the city, where II was so
dense and thick that breathing was un-
comfortable and causing the eyes TO
smart. A number Of shacks, occupied by
laboring men, located on the hillside,
caught fire, but the owners were on the
alert and eXtinguished the flames I'm all
except one, which was unOccuped and
was burned to the ground.
1t was extremely fortunate that the
wind blew in the direction Of the bay as
sparks from the fire flew in great numbers
to the ocean dock and would have seri-
ously endangered the city. There Is but
little timber left on the hillside, and II Is
doubtful If timid people will be alarmed
again by fire from this direction. The
scene on the hillside last night was
superb-it was grand beyond description.

Employees of Detroit's City
Railway System Out on
Strike
All the Great Lines in the
City Have Suspended
Operations

aud Chene street lines of the city railway
system were tied up at o'clock this

and an employing corporation which con-
trols every street car line in this city but
one, came to head this morning in a
strike, and resulted in partial suspension
Of street car transportion.
The men are aggrieved at the discharge
Of several conductors and drivers, who
were organizing them for a strike TO come
off later in the season, when they would
be better able to handle it. The COM
pany's method of taking time by the fore
lock resulted in strike, about 700 Of the
$50 employees going out. The Grand
Reeves system of six miles is tied up, only
two cars being in service. The Michigan,
Irumbull and GratiOJ avenue and Cross
town lines, nine miles in length, are also
tied up. The Chene street line, new
road in the eastern part OF the city, with
light business, Is also out of commission.
The lines tied up are on three OF the
great arteries leading to the center of the
city, and at 7 o'clock this morning when
people started to go down town the con-
fusion was great Everybody had to
walk. The strikers maintain good order
A sufficient detail of police is on duty to
prevent any disorder.
PITTsBURG, April 21-A general lockout

may result in the precipitation Of a lock-
out Of all the men in the building trades.

CLEvELAND'S CHANCES
Pacific Coast Democrats in Favor OF
Cleveland


New YORK, April ELK Mayor w. r.
Grace was back at his office today after
his return from his winter vacation, which
was spent mainly in Southern California.
In the course Of an interview on politics
in California, Mr.. Grace said:
81 think there is no doubt that tariff re-
form will be made an issue in California
as elsewhere. There is a constantly grow
ing enthusiasm for it. Roger O. Mills is
soon to speak on this topic in San Fran
cisco.
81 don't believe the Democrats can carry
California in the next presidential election
but | do believe that Cleveland would
come nearer carrying it than any other
candidate.
"In Southern California especially |
found there was strong feeling among
Republican business men for Cleveland,
and their sentiments were that his ad
ministratiOn was best for the business
interests Of the country. The tin tax has
operated very badly in California against
the packing interests, which are enOr-
nous, for the greater portion of the pro-
duct Of the fruit farms is dried and
packed.
"How is Harrison's administration re-
garded in the states you viSited?" Mr.
Grace was asked.

People compare it very often with the
administration of Cleveland and com
parison is always In favor Of the latter

POOR COAST DEFENSE
England AgitatIng Americas Favorite
and Stereotyped Subject

LONDON, April 81 - English military
men are discussing the subject OF Eng
lands coast defenses, which, 1t is said,
have been greatly neglected. The condl-
tion Of the defenses OF Portsmouth is dis
graceful, the forts being obsolete affairs
with old fashioned guns that could
amount to very little against an enemy.
Yet Portsmouth is acknowledged TO be Of
the greatest importance as naval base
In case OF war. Engishmen generally
are beginning to believe that trouble is
coming on the continent and there is
strong feeling in favor of getting Great
Britain ready for a possible share In it.
