Undoubtedly the book, from what you
tell me OF IT, fosters an aristocratic

PANAMA RAILROAD PROSPECTS,

II the rumors are true concerning the
failure Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany and the Panama Railroad Company to
make a new contract there is a chance for
the railroad to increase its earnings by
keeping out Of a contract. This is what
Traffic Manager Leeds thinks of the matter
Furthermore the situation offers the State
OF California the best opportunity she has
had for years to promote sea carriage, For
years the policy Of the Pacific Mail. con-
trolled to a certain extent by the Southern
Pacifce, has been to reduce 10 a minimum
the freights carried over the Panama road
The steamship people were compensated by
q subsidy from the transcOntinental roads,
but the Panama Company did not share in
the returns.
In the event of disagreement between th e
Pacific Mail and the Panama road. the
stockholders OF the latter con Germ would no
doubt be largely benefited. II 1t would
make reasonable rates and let every one
come In as carriers, 1t would be good idea
for San Francisco to take hand in

Alone are In what men call sleep. The past,
My unsupported soul. my parents voice,
The generations OF lily forebears. yea
The very will OF God himself are there
And potent working; so that many a doubt

Washed cleaniier, many puzzle ridded plain.

Toward unguessed Issues, and the waking man
Rises Greatheart where Slave lay down.

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Republicans Successful and Senator Aldrtch

Republicans Successful and Senator Aldrtch
VIII he Returned to the Senate.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., April Tt re-
auires fifty-four members Of the legisla-
ture to elect on joint ballot and the
republicans have at present fifty-oney
with every prospect of having elected
six more.
The city of Providence went demo-
cratic by about 400 majority, but the
city assembly is in doubt
Pawtucket was carried by the demo-
Gratis by about 100 majority.
|. At 1 o'clock a. m. the returns show:
Brown, republican, 23,17O; Burton, peo-
pies, 176; Gilbert, prohibition, 1,411;
Wardell, democrat, 23,072; total VOTE
46, $40.
The democratic assembly ticket in
Woonsocket is elected by thirty, but
the Pawtucket assembly ticket Is in
doubt. The vote polled was the largest
in the history Of the state. The result
is q surprise to everybody and shows
that there are several thousand people
in the state whom the party managers
can never locate.
The election in Newport has been q
hot fight and indications point to the
election Of the full democratic legisla-
tive ticket. One ward is yet to be heard
from which probably will not change
the result.
The vote polled has been very large
and the ward rooms have been centers
of excitement all day. This eliminated
in the Fifth ward where the republi-
cans claim that a democratic paper
owner, who is also president of the
common council, violated the ballot law
by giving unsolicited assistance to
voters. The republicans propose TO
bring q criminal suit against President
and Supervisor Boyle and perhaps the
warden of the ward as well, and also, IL
necessary, appeal to the supreme court
and contest the seat Of members of the
legislature elected here.
The town Of Lincoln elected six re-
publican assemblymen thus assuring
the republicans at least 81 votes on joint
ballot.
Aldrich will return TO the senate. Tho
democrats made Legislative gains In sew
eral towns, but the result is surprise
to the democrats. The ordinary stay
at-home voters came out and overcam0
the heavy democratic registration.

BURNED TO DEATH.

A Family OF Nine Lose Their Lives Mt Fore

holocaust Tuesday night In the west
end Of the city nine persons were burned
to death. They were: s. v. Kitchen,

years of age; Miss Sidney Day, sister
of Mrs. Kitchen, uged IS; August Kne-
meyer, a boarder, aged IS; Samuel
Kitchen, brother of the owner, aged 20.
No cries were heard from those in the
building and they all persisted In the
flames.
At 1884 Santa Fe avenue stood two
story building owned by S. V. Kitchen.
the upper story used as a dwelling by
the owner and the lower occupied by
the general store and meat market Of
Mcintosh & Pease. At HAS o'clock tho
building was found to be on fire. About
two minutes later a terrific explosion
shook the building and the flames burst
out furiously.
1t is supposed that some kegs Of pow
der stored in the building exploded and
destroyed the narrow stairs inside the
building from the second story, thus
cutting off all hope Of escape. The fire
burned very rapidly rs the nearest
hydrant was four blocks away and be-
fore connections could be made the
building was doomed.
The nine bodies found in the ruins
were taken to the undertalSer's, where
they presented CHASTITY sight Mrs
Kitchen and her baby and her sister.
Miss Day, were found in one embrace
and it was with great difficulty that
they were separated.
A dwelling owned by John Knock was
also destroyed, but with no loss Of life.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
When the store closed at o o'clock there
was very little fire left in the store.
