The committee assemblies here today to ar
range for the Pan-Republic Congress in 1888.
The movement for having a concert Of free
governments at the time Of commemorative
the discovery Of America is one of those finely
sentimental conceptions which have their root
in deepest common sense. Without comblna-
ton republican vigor is too diffused in this
power-ridden world to be most effective.
Liberty does not need, however, an alliance
offensive and defensive OF all the free govern
ments, for alliances Of this sort are not so
effective as they once were and the genius of
the times is one of arbitration rather than
fixed bayonets and shotted guns The Pam
Republic conference represents healthy and
practical repubicanism, and Will give a fresh
impetus to modern republican tendencies.
The states that have adopted the secret or re-
form ballot are Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana,
Kentucky (as to the city of Louisville), Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts,. Michigan, Mime
sofa, Missouri. Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey,
New York, North Dakota, Oregon. Rhode ISL
and. South Dakota, Tennessee. Vermont Wash
ington, West Virginia, Wisconsin Except for
Milwaukee,. 1t is considered sure Of adoption
in two others, Illinois and New Hampshire. In
the first list, while the principle has been recog-
nized in all the states named, il has not been a
complete recognition Of what is known as the
Australian ballot in all Of them The signs are
hopeful for the adoption of the honest ballot
ultimately by nearly if not quite all the states.
The people everywhere demand fair elections.
The re-pullers, ballot-bo1 suffers and other
manipulators Of the suffrage are to be driven
out Of business, as far as that can be accom-
plished.

A GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
Ono Man, Burned to Death and Severa
People Seriously Injured.

Ono Man Burned to Death and Several
People Seriously Injured.
SAN Francisco, May 1S.-A gasoline
stove exploded in the rear of No. 5l9
Post street, late this afternoon, setting
fire to the house. One man was burned
to death and four men and two women
seriously injured. The cause of the ex-
piosion is not known. Olaf Erickson and
wife, the occupants of the house, were
preparing supper at the time. They
saved their lives by jumping from win
dow, but Erickson broke his hip
and his wife fractured her leg
badly. A lodger named Eric
Anderson was severely burned about
the head. Charles Peterson, visitor,
refused to Jump from the window, al
though every effort was made to induce
him to do SO, and he was burned to
death. Carl Lindquist was also badly
burned, but escaped by jumping from a
window. John Mahony also jumped,
and was caught in sheet. He was not
injured by the fall, but had been severe
ly burned before jumping. Mrs. Louisa
Sanstein was also burned seriously.
Later-The second floor of the build
ing was occupied by a Swedish tailor
shop, owned by Charles Peterson.
Charles Locks, his assistant, was pour
ing gasoline from five-gallon can into
gasoline stove, when the can exploded,
setting fire to the building. Peter
son was burned to death. Vic
tor Anderson. was most frightfully
burned and will probably die. Carl
Lunquist, Mrs. Sangsten, who is Peter
sons mother-in-law. Mrs. Anderson,
Olaf Ericsson and man named Berg
strom, were more or less burned. Lund-
quist and Erickson each also broke a leg
in jumping. The entire interior OF the
building was destroyed, but the fire was
extinguished without spreading further.

COL. FAIRMAN's PAINTINGS.
A San Francisco Committee Compare
Them to Carl Brownies Works.

A San Francisco Committee Compare
Them to Carl Brownies Works.
Some months ago Colonel James Fair
man, preacher, poet, painter and soldier,
arrived in the city, and exhibited a
number of paintings. They were very
startling in their coloring. Some peo-
pie admired the pictures, however, and
today number are hanging on the
walls of several homes of people in this
city who think they know what art is.
These pictures brought good prices, for
the colonel knew that they could not be
easily equalled; so he asked and got
figures ranging from 5000 to $500 a
canvas.
After he got through in Los Angeles
be went to San Francisco, and last week
tried to get his pictures hung in the Art
association exhibition in that city, but
the committee rejected them. The COM
mittee said that the paintings were too
much in the school of Carl Browne, the
reversible landscape painter OF Cactus
fame; but Colonel Fairman, to an Ex-
aminer reporter on Tuesday, said:
''There is nothing personal about this
matter. 1t is simply resistance in be-
half of real, recognized artists. lido not
really like to say it, but the actual fact
is that they excluded my pictures be-
cause their admission would so raise the
standard that many of the so-called
artists could not do work up to it,"
One of the rejected pictures, says the
Examiner, is Bethel Meadows, Maine.
In the foreground are two cows, one
red and the other yellow. Those COWS
are as good examples of still life as any
of Carlson's copper pots. Then there is
a lot of foliage, beautifully green, and
some blue sky and clouds.
Those clouds are what the art commit
tee stuck at, simply because the MEM
bers had never seen any like it.
The other picture is Sunset on the
Hudson, view of New York harbor.
1t is beautifully red in spots and glori-
ously yellow in sections, and there is
some green and various other colors. In
the middle is a steamer, which, the
artist says, is going away. The ground
for the rejection of this picture is that
the steamer has no already gone.
