Christmas still holds its place as ma

anticipations as Christmas. and even those
of older, larger growth catch the inspira-

The Presbyterian Sunday school had a
very pleasant entertainment at the church
on Christmas eve consisting of literary
exercises, by the children of the school,
which we're very interesting and reflected
much credit upon those who had charge
as well as upon the children themselves.

THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
RESULT OF THE CONFLAGRATION
IN MANDALAY.
The Capital of British Burmah Laid in
Ashes-The Flames Ragged Fourteen
Hours and Wrought Fearful Ruin-No
Lives Reported Lost.

LONDON, March 81, 4:30 p. ma dis
patch from Calcutta gives intelligence
received in that city up to 5 O'Clock.
According to this dispatch, the fire at
Mandalay originated in the vicinity OF
the Catholic school. It spread to Dyers's
brewery, thence along street of the
native houses. These structures we're
all of wood, and caught fire in rapid sue
cession, until miles OF streets we're
ablaze. The dispatch makes no men
tion of loss of life, and does not say from
what source or by what means the news
reached Calcutta. nor whether the fire
is yet extinguished or gotten under con-
troll.
RANGooN, March 81, OPP. m.-The fire
in Mandalay yesterday burned itself
out after. causing immense damage. To-
day two fresh outbreaks occurred. The
first, in the eastern part of the city, had
its origin in cluster of hute. The
flames spread mile, when the wind
changed and drove them back to the law
courts; thence they extended towards
the incompatible pagoda, destroying a
number of large valuable pagodas. To-
night the third fire has just broken out
in the British cantonment, and the
flames are raging furiously. 1t is impos-
eible to- form any estimate of the money
loss, but it will be immense.
Later-The fire ragged fourteen hours
and burned over an area of two and a
half miles. No loss of life occurred, but
many thousand people are homeless, and
extensive relief will be necessary.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-01
THE RESULT OF MONOPOLY.
The Price of Refined Sugars Raised and
Raw Depressed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3l.-Since the
sugar trust few days ago acquired
control OF all the refneries in the coun-
try, steps have been taken to arrest the
threatened monopoly. Efforts have
been made to build an Independent re-
finery on the Delaware river, near the
Spreckles refinery, but the projectors
have not met with much success.
They therefore sought relief in the
preparation Of bill for the repeal of the
duty of half cent per pound on refined
grades of sugars. which they claim serves
only the purpose of allowing the trust
to control absolutely the entire refining
trade of the country. The draft of the
bill, it is understood, has already been
prepared by Samuel Gustine Thompson,
friend OF ex President Cleveland, and
this has given rise to the impression
that the bill was favored by Cleveland,
with the idea of forcing the Republican
party into the attitude of defending the
monopoly, if they resist the passage OF
the bill.
Since the combination has acquired
control of the business the price of re-
fined sugars has advanced half a cent
per pound. Raw sugar has declined,
from the fact that there is but one
buyer the trust.

THE PARIS DYNAMITERS
RAvACHOL THE PERPETRATOR OF
NUMEROUS CRIMES.
He Confesses Some and the Evidence Is
Conclusive Against Him in Other
Cases-Several More Important Arrests
Made-Ravachol Betrayed.

PARIS, March 31.-Ravachol, the An
archist leader, was subjected to a rigid
examination as to his past life, lasting
five hours. The result showed him a
greater villain than was supposed. He
confessed the murder of the old hermit
of Notre Dame de Grace. He denied
the murders of an old man-servant at
Varizell in 1885 and his former wife in
1888. His denial, however, is not very
strong, and many discrepancies appeared
in his replies in relation to them.
The police believe they may yet
discover evidence showing that he killed
both. Some time ago an old man was
killed with an ak. Ravachol was ques-
toned as to this crime. Here. too, his
denial was very weak. He admitted
his being graveyard ghoul, and told of
number of graves he robbed.
When the police searched his lodgings
they found among other evidences of
criminal operations, a set of counter
feiters' tools. When questioned regard
ing the possession of these unlawful be-
longings, he cody acknowledged that he
belonged to gang of counterfeiters, but
persistently refused to make admission
that would lead to the detection of his
confederates.
1t is acknowledged on all sides that
the police had good reason to believe
Ravachol would make desperate resist
ance to arrest, and those who condemned
them for not arresting him some days
ago now admit that the police were
right in not attempting to effect his
capture until they made sure there was
no ch ance for his escape.
"A leading paper states that Ravachol
admitted that he was the author of the
boulevard st. .Germain explosion.
The chief detective asserts that Chau-
martin, an accomplice of Ravachol,
now under arrest, betrayed his
leader, and told the police that Rava-
chol intended to blow up the house OF
Bulot, one of the prosecuting counsel in
the recent Anarchist trials. Bulot's
residence. 80 Rue Clichy, was the scene
of destructive explosion last Sunday
morning. Ravachol lived at ST. Mande,
near the wood of Wincermes, four miles
south of Paris. He was seen going to
Paris Sunday morning, carrying a small
| portmanteau.
Ravachol is watched in the prison
night and day by three detectives. He
is the illegitimate son of German par.
ents, born in France.
Some Anarchist prisoners assert that
Ravachol was concerned in recent
murder and robbery, realizing 10000
francs, and that he also assisted in steal.
ing dynamite from the factory at Soissy.
The police have arrested an Anarchist
named Delaunay, charged with stealing
dynamite. His description tallies with
that of man seen in the vicinity of SO
Rue Clichy. Sunday morning after the
explosion.
The senate has approved the bill inn
posing the death penalty on persons
convicted of using dynamite unlawfully
1t is reported late tonight that Gustav
Matthew, the most dangerous accom-
plice of Ravachol, has been arrested and
promises to reveal everything tomorrow
Ravachol carried the bomb used in the
Boulevard st. German and placed it in
position.

Number Of Livcs Lost.

A steamer Burned at the wharf-A
Number OF Livos Lost.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 31.-As the
steamer Golden Rule was leaving the
wharf this afternoon fire suddenly broke
out under the forward hatchway and a
wild panic ensued. Only those nearest
the stairway were able to escape. The
others rushed to the stern of the boat
and clambered onto the upper deck OF
the Keystone State. Before all were
rescued, the flames became 80 fierce that
the Keystone State backed into the
river. The stern OF the Golden Rule
then caught and swung to the wharf
boat where the rest made their escape,
with the exception of Miss Nellie Ma
loney, who fell between the boat and the
barge and was drowned. The losses by
fire aggregate $50, 900.
Later-At midnight it is feared that
several other lives were lost. 1t is said
fifteen roustabouts and deck hands were
In the hold when the fire broke out.
The fremen say nobody escaped after
they got there. Second Mate Riley is
missing, and it is feared that he and
several roustabouts are lost.

The Ex- Chief of Police Refuses to Vacate
His ONCE.
SACRAMENTO, March 31.-The term of
Chief of Police Drew expired at mid
night tonight, but he had announced
his determination not to give up
the Office to John B. Rodgers.
his duly elected and qualified
successor. The latter was expected
to be on hand at midnight to take pos
session, and something sensational was
looked for. Rodgers, however, acting
under the advice of his attorney, did
not show up, having decided not to pre-
sent himself till Monday.
There was slight ripple of excite
ment, however, at ten minutes before IL
O'Clock. Night Jailor CLARK gave the
key to the cellar corridor to Officer Hig-
gins while he went to supper. A trusty
noticed and called Chief Drew's attention
to it. Dew demanded the key from
Higgins, and the latter, who supports
chief-elect Rodgers, refused to give it
up. Drew insisted, and Higgins said
he would give it only to the
officer from whom he got it.
Clark had not yet left the police station,
and seeing that the situation was be-
coming exciting, said he would receive
the key and give it to Drew, as the
latter was still in authority. Higgins
then said he would keep it. Drew
showed by bis watch that he was yet
chief, and Higgins, seeing no way to
kill time any longer. gave up the key.
Rodgers will demand the Office at an
early hour. in the morning and the po-
lice commissioners will recognize him.

New York, March 31.-A Herald
special from Caracas, Venezuela, says
the greatest excitement is reported at
all the Venezuelan ports, which are
filled with refugees from this city and
the interior country. The fugitives are
endeavoring to secure passage out on
steamers.
The Herald's account of the first bat
tie between the government troops and
insurgent forces is confirmed. 1t re-
suited in victory for Palacio's army,
but the victory was a dear one to the
government, costing it many lives.
The number of dead and wounded is
unknown.
in official circles strong antl-Amerl-
can feeling is apparent. Many foreign
ers are seeking refuge in the different
consulates. Exchange is rapidly rising.
Advices have just been received here
that additional skirmishes have taken
place between the government and the
insurgents, and that the former have
been victorious all along the line. 1t
must be remembered that all these ru-
mors come from official sources. The
insurgents have different story to tell.
Among the many persons who have
temporarily left Venezuela" cables the
Herald's correspondent, "is wealthy

friend of the insurgent cause. just before
his departure he told me the struggle
might last for five or six months, as

were both we'll supplied with funds and
arms. Guzman Blanco, he told me, has
no connection with the revolt, nor could
he have, for the uprising against Palacio
is on the same grounds as the movement
which led to the expulsion of Blanco.
The question at stake, he added,
is purely one of state sovereignty vs..
Capitalization. Arms and ammunition

ADIEU TO PHILADELPHIA.
Claus Spreckels Shakes the Quaker City
Dust From His Feet.

PHILADELPHIA, March 81. - Claus
Spreckels, whose immense sugar refn-
cry was recently absorbed by the sugar
trust, left for San Francisco with his
family at noon, in a special car attached
to regular train on the Pennsylvania
road. Much disappointment is felt at
his departure, as his choice of site in
this city for the location of his refinery,
with which he proposed to fight the su-
gar trust, was a source of qualification
to the members Of the board of trade
and other organizations working for
the commercial advancement of the
city with them. Spreckels frequently
showed desire to cooperate and great
expectations were entertained in con-
sequence. The Hawaiian sugar king"
always declared he would maintain his
independence and from time to time
most emphatically denied the numer-
GUS rumors of his refinery being alb
sorbed by the trust. With the recent
sale of his property.to that organization,
however, Spreckels apparently lost all
interest in the city.
