FLAMES IN SAINT PAUL.
ONE OF THE WORST FIRES IN THE
CITY'S HISTORY.
A Large Five-Story Brick and Stone Struc-
ture, Occupied by Two Wholesale
Firms, Reduced to Ruins-The Losses
Aggregate Nearly $l,oOO,Ooo.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1S.-St. Paul last night
suffered one of the most disastrous fires
in its history, the buildings burned be-
ing those OF Griggs, Cooper & Co.,
wholesale grocers, and Farwell, Ozemun,
Kirk & Co., wholesale hardware. The
total loss is estimated at from 100000
to 81, 100000 The losses are covered by
insurance. The building occupied by
the two firms is brick and stone
structure five stories high, and has
frontage on Third street OF 800 feet, and
on Broadway, 200 feet. Griggs, Cooper
& Co. occupy twe-thirds OF the building.
The flames first made their
appearance at II IA o'clock in the fourth
floor of Griggs, Cooper & Co. Within
less than five minutes the fire depart
ment was on hand in force, but gen.
eral alarm had to be turned in soon
afterwards. The rapidity with which
the flames spread, the binding volumes
of smoke which filled the streets, cold
weather aud the inability OF the fire.
men to get at the fire, rendered their
work very hard. In hall an hour from
the time the alarm was sent in, the
flames leaped through the roof and COM
municated to the adjoining building,
where they made rapid progress. The
firemen turned their attention to saving
the floors below, and by hard work,
for time succeeded in confining most
of the damage to the upper floor, though
the loss in this department alone would
reach fully 100000. But the flames
gradually crept downward in the hard
ware building through the elevator
shaft, and one by one the other floors
succumbed.
The fire in Griggs, Cooper & Co.'s
building burned down to the ground
floor. The fire department fought
valiantly against terrible odds,
and at $3.50 the walls fell.
The flames set fire to- a frame
building used by the Northern Pacific
News company. Soon the walls OF the
Farwell, Ozemun d Kirk building fell
outward. Several attempts were made
to save the stock in the less exposed
parts of the building, but without avail,
and the complete destruction of both
stock and building was inevitable.
The building belonged to d. G. Shep-
ard. 1t was estimated to be worth
100000. The losses are estimated as
follows: Farwell, Ozemun & Kirk.
$4O0, 900, with insurance $780,
600; Griggs, Cooper & Co..
on building and stock, loss. $55, ,000 fully
insured; total loss, $950,000.
The flames were under control at 80
this morning, but fast consuming what
remained of the stock. No definite in
formation is obtainable as to the cause
of the fire, but it is thought to have
originated in some unknown manner in
the packing room on the fourth floor.
Both firms will continue business with
out interruption. Their books and ac-
counts we're saved.

sence OF over two years in the Arctic
ocean. The schooner had several times
been reported here as lost. Captain
Heresdeen says the crew passed the
winter of 1889 at Elson bay. The ice
broke up July 2S, 1890, and pressed the
schooner out OF the water and onto the
beach, fortunately doing no damage.
Whaling had previously been poor, as
the weather was intensely cold, and the
ice did not move, consequently few
whales were seen. August 6, 1890, after
receiving supplies and securing two
white men and five natives to assist
the crew, the schooner started eastward
and reached Herschel island August
9th. Here several steamers and the
schooner Silver Wave were found.
The Hicoline proceeded as far Key
Point, and sighting no whales, returned
to Hersehel island to winter. The
homeward trip commenced July 10th,
last. On September 2Sth, gale lasting
five days did much damage to the ves-
sci. Gales and bad weather accom-
panied the schooner to within eight
days of this port. The vessels cargo
consists of 500 pounds of ivory and a
few bear skins, but the captain states
that the crew is satisfied to return
home, even with such small showing,
as it more than once seemed that the
schooner would never reach San Fran

Associated Press DISPATCHES.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 1S.-The steam
ship Australia arrived this morning,
seven days from Honolulu. Advices,
were received at the islands Octo-
ber I'd, to the effect that the situation
in Samoa was strained, and that at King
Malietoa's request the faipule had
agreed to issue proclamation declaring
Mataafa a rebel. The president of the
council, in announcing the kings wish
to the faipule, is reported to have said /:
cit is now time for the government to
be strong and seize Matafa and prosecute
him."
HAWAIIAN MATTERS.
The Hawaiian planters held conven-
tion at Honolulu, beginning October
Goth, and discussed number of impor-
tant topics, among them the foreign
labor question, and the advisability of
the extensive raising of coffee and tea
on the islands.
Ex-Attorney.General Ashford pub
lished an article October 30th, in which
he charged the press of Honolulu with
being afraid to frankly discuss the sit
uation arising out of the changed con-
dtions OF reciprocity with the United
States, produced by the free sugar Sec
ton of the Mckinley bill. The Hon.
olulu Bulletin, commenting on the let
ter, says: "The United States does
not want to disturb our autonomy
Those reported utterances of her public
men in favor of protectorate, are
based on the false light in which the
Hawaiian situation is presented by such
writings as appear in Ia Leo "a news
paper), and to which Ashford's s letter
bears a somewhat close affinity. The
reasons for Hawaiian independence are
as strong today as they ever were."
One hundred Japanese on Eva plan
tation, who celebrated their empefor's
birthday by going on strike. were ar
rested November 4th, and sentenced to
pay $9 costs, each, for refusing to per-
form contract service.
The United States steamer Pensacola
is still at Honolulu. The United States
steamer Charleston had not arrived
there when the Australia left the
islands.
THE QUEEN IN GOOD HEALTH.
Consul McKinley's advices from Hon.
olulu, under date of November 11th, are
to the effect that the rumors regarding
the i'll health of Queen Liliuoka-
lani, which have appeared in Ameri-
can and English newspapers, are without
any foundation whatsoever, and receive
no attention in Honolulu where the
facts are known. Advices state that the
queens health is excellent, and that she
devotes much attention to state duties.
The queen has commissioned Hon. A.
S. Cleghorn, father of Princess Kaiulani,
to be governor OF Oahu. While there is
considerable political discussion grow
ing out of the preparations for the next
legislative campaign in the islands, the
discussion is marked with calmness, and
there are no signs OF the disturbing ele-
ments that have been reported from
time to time.

vention at Boston.
BosToN, Nov. 1S.-Last day Of the w.
c. T. U. convention. The first report
on the social department was given by
Mrs. Anna NJ. Hammock, of Pennsyl-
vania. Mrs. Nicols reported progress
from the state and county fair depart
ments. Mrs. r. A. Esmond made re-
port, urging the use of unfermented
wine upon all congregations for COM
munion. She said the Bible wine was
unfermented, and the modern
church wine should be like it.
In Pennsylvania not less than one
third of the churches use fermented
wine, but through the efforts of the w.
G. T. U. the proportion is being gradu-
ally reduced.
Mrs. Theresa A. Jenkins reported for
the legal department, making an earn
est plea for the unrestricted enfranchise-
ment of women. She said every state
had reported progress to her. Free
ballot for women is the only question
Of time.
Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey spoke for the
peace and international arbitration de-

hopeful outlook for the future. 1t was
voted that telegram be sent to the

ROBBED A BANK.
British Yacht Owners Arrested at Homo

lulu on a Grave Charge.
Honolulu. Nov. 1.-THE British
yacht Beagle arrived here about Septem-
ber 1st with the owners, Messrs. Bloom
and Douglass, on board, who spent
money lavishly while here. On the ar
rival of the steamer Australia from the
colonies last month it was announced
that the Westminster bank OF Sydney
had been robbed of over $4,000 soyer-
eigns, and photographs brought by a
detective who came on the steamer tai
lied, it is claimed. with the appearance
of the owners OF the yacht. The latter
were at once arrested on the charge of
smuggling British coin, which did not
appear on the vessels manifest,
and on which there is a duty
fixed by the Hawaiian laws. The
detective then went to San Fran
cisco to cable to Sydney for
further instructions as there is no treaty
between Australia and Hawaii covering
the case in point. The trial of the men
was continued until the return OF the
steamer from San Francisco, which, it
was supposed, would bring the detective
and additional evidence. As, however,
the detective did not put in an appear
ance, the yacht was searched, with the
exception of the hold, and no sovereigns
being found the case was dismissed. 1t
was noted, however, that all sums ex-
pended by the men were in British SOW
ereigns, and that the captain and cook
left the vessel on her arrival. On being
released new crew was shipped and
the vessel put to sea, her ostensible des-
tination being Japan. The yacht is still
lowering about the islands, and it is in
timated she may head for San Francisco.

SUING FOR AN ESTATE.
Sixteen Heirs of Charles Durkee File a
Sensational Complaint.

sensational complaint.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Sixteen heirs of
Charles Durkee, at one time governor of
Utah, began suit in the federal circuit
court today, to recover over $500, 900,
Durkee's estate, which, it is charged,
they did not receive because OF the
fraudulent acts OF Franklin H. Head, of
this city, and Harvey Durkee, half
brother Of the deceased. The two
were executors of the estate, and
it is alleged that through their manip-
ulations the rightful airs were cheated.
Mr.. Head is charged with having man.
aged the estate so as to get most of it in
possession of himself and Harvey Dur
kee, who is now dead. The bill, which
is a lengthy one, makes sensational
charges. The complainants are Geo. Dur
kee, OF De Forest, Wis, G. L. Boardman,
Watertown, S. D., and fourteen others
who are scattered all over the country.
Head, who is we'll known capitalist,
and whose wife was niece of ex-Gov-
ernor Durkee. said tonight the estate
amounted to only $4,000, instead of
s500,000. 1t has been twice in the
courts, both times going against the
plaintiffs. Head declares the proceed
ings are blackmail.

MODESTO, CAL, Nov. 1S.-Today Rev.
II. S. Gillingham, recently suspended
from the ministry of the Presbyterian
church, swore to complaint charging
James Thompson, one of the church
deacons and leading witness for the
prosecution in the trial, with fraudulent
voting at the irrigation district election
in April, 1890. The complaint alleges
that Thompson knowingly voted while
not resident of the district. The war
rant has not yet been served, as the con-
stable was unable to find him. He is a
prominent farmer, lives seven miles
from Modesto, and is man of means.
Other suits are threatened as the ont

A Protest Made Against BelIigerent Ac-

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Rev. Reese f.
Alsop of Brooklyn opened the second
days proceedings of the Protestant
Episcopal church congress, with an ad-
dress ON Socialism. He pointed out the
differences between the most noted ad-
yocates of socialistic theories, and urged
adhesion to the present system of social
economics, holding that if labor forced
a change it might kill the goose and lose
the golden eggs. He did not believe the
present condition was 30 bad as made
out. Thrift and enterprise rarely failed
to reap profits. 1t was not true that the
rich were fgetting richer and the poor
getting poorer. The laborer today en-
loved luxuries not dreamed of hum
dred years ago. There were abuses un-
der the present system OF wealth dis
tribution, such as vast monopolies and
trusts thai led to toillegitimate profits, but
they were diseases, to eradicate which
the body need not be destroyed.
Prof. Gould of Philadelphia said a
serious evil of the socialistic system
was the destruction of individuality.
The pulpit should condemn constantly
the moral evil of the present system,
and should be taught to live in state
OF freedom according to the Masters
teachings.
Rev. William Prall of Detroit spoke
of the prevailing discomfort among the
laboring classes, based on the belief
that they failed to receive their share of
the worlds wealth. The difference be-
10
found in the fallacious socialistic belief
that changing the condition of men
changed their character.
Rev. DIR. Kirkus of Baltimore said
the most radical and stupid interpreta-
tion had been given the scriptures.
Religion was never less than common
sense. What would become of the fine
arts under socialism? What would be-
come of the freedom of the press?
Rev. Mr.. Huntington of New York
agreed with DIR. Kirkus, but from ex-
actly opposite reasons he was not So
cialist, but recognized that there was
discomfort among the people-an intel
lectual discomfort, moving toward So
cialism. The capitalist was hard
working man; the landowner was not:
Men did live without coin, gold and
silver, but never could live without
land. Was it not absurd to class land
the gift of God-as private property
with things man made? He did not
favor the division of the land into little
bits, but he hated the landlord. His
title was blasphemous, for there was
but one Land Lord and the human race
were His tenants.
At the evening session, the topic was
The Relations of the Clergy to Politics.
Several addresses were made.

business ability and experience of some
of the shrewest men in the nation at its
back, while there will apparently be
plenty of capital to meet any emergency
which may arise, and to push
business as circumstances permit.
In return the Alliance will give the or
ganization its patronage. 1t is the aim
of the new organization to buy out a
merchant in every trade center of inn
portance, stock him with everything he
wants in the line of general everyday
dry goods demanded by farmers. and
make him local manager OF the concern.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 18.-Secretary
Scott of the viticultural commission is
receiving reports from various wine pro-
ducing districts of the state regarding
this seasons wine crop. In the south
ern part of the state very little dry wine
will be produced this year, the produc-
tion being limited mostly to sweet wines
and brandy. The same is to be said OF
Fresno county and the counties to the
north. The dry wine yield of Napa,
Sonoma, Solano and Santa Clara coun-
ties and Livermore valley will average
one-t third short, or about 1000 gallons
less than the average yield. Sweet wine
production is larger this season than
last, and the same can be said of
brandy. Clarence Wetmore is in the
southern part of the state for the pur-
pose of investigating the Anaheim

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 1S.-The insan-

Gallagher, alias Moran, for the murder

April, succeeded better than the pris-

after being out nearly 40 hours, came
into the court room this morning and
announced that they could not agree.
Eight accepted the plea and the evil
dence in behalf of insanity, and stood
for acquittal, while four were in favor OF
conviction. The most that was hoped
to be gained was a verdict of man
slaughter, as the killing was entirely un-
