ITO my mind, q candidates will
be named by the states which are
doubtful and which we most care to
win. The situation is critical, and
no mistake must be made, because
the margin is very small. The
house is Democratic already, and we
must have a mon who can carry the

large number Of delegates from the

WORK OF FIRE-BUGS.
Chehalis Again Visited by a Con-
hagration.


CHEHALTs, May %. Yesterday
morning at O'Clock the fire fiend
visited the city again, and now
smouldering heaps, where few
hours ago were slightly structures,
bear witness to the completeness OF
his work. The fire was started
on the upper floor of the vacant
building on Main street belonging to
George Gregg, to which, for several
weeks past, has been easy access,
and which had on that account be-
come nest Of tramps, loafers and
drunks. The fire department and
the citizens, who volunteered their
assistance, made magnificent efforts
to save the adjacent buildings, but
with the miserable facilities at hand
they were compelled to become
powerless spectators of the destruc-
ton of the property. The chemical
engine, the only protection against
fire in the city, was charged and dis
charged as rapidly as possible, but it
accomplished nothing. The fire
spread as though endowed with
wings. a strong north wind was
blowing, and the block across the
sire ct, together with the buildings
below, were enveloped within
twenty minutes, Four blocks of
wooden buildings were in midst
of sea of flame within forty min
utes after the alarm was sounded,
The losses amount to $lll,S50 and
the Insurance was $34 600
The fire was beyond doubt Of in-
origin.
