4 Bic FIre in Hnmhnrr

HAMBURG, April "A fire broke out at
1880 this morning at the Maizer quay. The
flames, fed by the intiammable contents of
the building, spread with great rapidity,
and at this hour (noon) the damage amounts
to several millions. The firemen were
promptly on the scene; but the streams
turned on the building did not check the
ire 10 any extent. The fire is still rigging
and no doubt is felt that the entire block
viii go. he heat is intense in the extreme.
The tiremen are chiefly directed to prevent
the ire from communicating to adjacent
buildings. Herr Tegge, chief of the fire
brigade, is missing and it is thought that
he has persisted. Several firemen have re-
eeived dangerous injuries by being struck
by falling walls.
This afternoon by the time the fire had
turned itself out the warehouse was com
pletely Quilted, only the bare walls being
left standing. Large quantities OF cotton
and coffee were stored on the upper floor.
while thu cellars were filed with casks and
barrels OF oils and spirits, which made an
intensely hot fire. The exact less by the
ire Is as yet unknown, but it is very large.

The sixth and seventh were give snd take
with 10 advantage. Some hard fighting
in eighth and ninth, the Kid showing up to
the best advantage. In the tenth, Reddy
stiffened the Kid with his right, but he
failed to follow him up. In the eleventh
and lfth Reddy appeared groggy and
the KIDS stock went up. The thirteenth
was noted for hard fighting, and the Kids
right eye was cut. Brennan seemed to re-
gain confidence. During the fourteenth
the Kid landed several times and when they
went TO their corners it was evident the
Kid had the fight well in hand. In the fif-
teenih and last, just before the call of time
the Kid swung his right and knocked MIN

BAD MEXICANS.
Many On the Texas Border Are
eX-COnyicts.
Such We're Many of Garzs's Followers-Rich
Ranchers support ANY Move Against
Mexico or America.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-General Stanley,
in forwarding to the war department re-
port Of Captain Chase, in relation to the
Cara campaign, says sit must be re-
oered that very large percentage of the
population along the Texas border is made
up of escaped convicts and murderers
from Mexico, and OF Mexican citizens who
have no regard for law and order, and who
readily join in any excitement in opposi-
ton to the Mexican government. A singu-
lar feature is that the rich Mexicans who
own and control large ranches
in southern Texas, and claim
every protection of the American govern
ment, use their influence and furnish
means to support almost any measure
against our government or that of Mexico"
In conclusion, General Stanley sayssthat
all bands of organized force in violation of
the neutrality laws have been wholly dis
sipated. The work that now remains is
not wholly in the province of sheriffs and
marshais in their various counties and dis
tricts, but the presence of as many troops
as possible along the Rio Grande frontier
is very essential and will be for some time
to come.

A Fa,aI Fire In Pnsen

BERLIN, April "A dwelling house In
Posen caught fire during the night lust
passed, and before all the inmates could es-
caOc, the stairs were afire. On the fourth
story Of the building were woman and
i've children. The only way for them to
escape the death that threatened them was
10 jump from the windows. The crowd on
the street got blanket, which was spread
and held in place by number of men. The
woman and children were then told to
jumD. The woman jumped, but struck the
blanket with such force that it was torn
from the grasp Of the men, and she fell to
the stone pavement. She was instantly
killed. One of the children jumped and met
the same fate. 1t seemed to be immpossi-

WASHINGTON. April 2.-There is reason
to believe that the House may yet find
itself in a position of embarrassment on the
silver question. One of the strongest ad-
vocates of the silver bill to-day said that
the silver men had about decided upon the
course that they would pursue. That
course Is one of obstruction to all legisla-
ton, except tariff measures, which are
given the right-of-way. He did not criti-
else Speaker Crisp in his action, but he
said when the House adjourned on the
famous "silver Thursday it adjoured I'M
der misrepresentation. There were eighty
men who would unite in preventing any
legislation by the House, he said When
asked as to whether the obstruction would
be made to appropriation bills, he said
"bless the appropriation bills. Nothing
but tariff until we receive fair considera-
ton for the silver question" He did not.
however, use the word ''bless.'

crowded. The stage was occupied by
members of the executive committee OF
the Pocatello Democratic club Including
nominees on the municipal ticket and by
the speakers Of the evening. The Poca-
tello Juvenile band furnished music in
a creditaoe manner. Judge j. II.
Wier, of Boise, spoke Of the necessity
of forming in solid trent to carry the town
election, as having much bearing on county.
state and national elections. He asked
members of the party for intelligent ac-
ton, to consult together and learn the vital
difference of the principles of the two par
ties.
Thomas F. Terrell. candidate for city at
tOrney, rehearsed the platform of the
Democratic party, dwelling a short tine on
each plank. HeSpoke of the snears of the
Republican party as the so-calied "inde-
pendent party, being avowedy one with

j. w. Eden, of Blackfoot, quoted the
saying that eternal vigilance is tie price
of liberty" ard so it always would be as
long as we had the trickery of the Repub-
lican party TO contend with. He cited as
an example the notorious 'force bill, -
that cnly was prevented from passing
q Republican Senate by the few Republic
nCs who are not yet lost TO the sense of
their manhood, but that if the party was
ever in complete power again it would
make the bill law. The only way to pre-
vent it was 10 keep them out Of power and
begin next Monday bright and early at the
polls by voting the s,rnight Democratic
