Grant, Frame & Gray's forwarding and
general merchandise establishment at
Grants was totally destroyed by fire about
A. M. on last Sunday. Estimated loss is
$50, 900, partially covered by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have caught from q
defective fue or to have been started by
sparks from a passing locomotive. Active
exertIons of residents resulted in prevent
ing the spread OF the fire, which threatened
the Pacific Coast Elevator company's plant
and a number Of other buildings. The
block on the south of the large merchandise
store was totally destroyed, and it was only
through the almost super-human exertions
of citizens that any portion OF the little
town was sayed. A bucket brigade was
formed, and this did good work in stopping
the progress of the flames.

Indians are Citizens.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. ia new phase
of the question as to the rights of Indians
as citizens, and the jurisdiction of the
local courts over them, will come up be-
fore Justice Sharp tomorrow. Prosecu-
tioDs haYe been instituted under the
state law, prohibiting the sale of liquor
to Indians, against several saloon keepers.
Judge landlords decision, made last
year, that the Indians on the Puyallup
reservation were cilIzeus amenable to
the state law, has barred out further
prosecution In the United States courts.
In the defense tomorrow, it is said that
Attorney Stephen O'Brien win attack the
constitutionaiity OF the state law, on the
ground that it is class legislation. since
the Indians have been declared to be
citizens, and that the legislature cannot
prohibit the sale of liquor TO these Indians
any more than to negroes or to lawyers
or tradesmen.

The Chilran Communication not
What was Expected

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Therc is 70
doubt that the administration received
with disappointment the dispatch yester-
day from Senor Pereira, the Chilian
minister OF foreign affairs, through
Minister Mont. It was recapitulation
of the tindiug of the Chilian Judicial
officer instead of a statement that might
be regarded as an apology for the attack
on the crew of the Baltimore. The
length to which the proceedings have
dragged and the statement to Blame by
Montt that other links are TO be added to
the long chain of legal formalitles, natur-
ally had an irritating effect upon the
administration, which postponed farther
communication with congress upon the
subject in the hope that satisfactory
understanding would be reached In a
short fine. Upon further consideration,
however, it appears the dispatch marks
tangible advancement towards the
desired object. The tone of the dispatch
was much more friendly and conciliatory
than that of some of the preceding COM.
munications. As the proceedings have
SO far resulted only in indictments
against the offenders, it Is hardly pre-
sumed the Gillian government, after the
stand 1t has taken, can be expected 10
make an apology and promise of repara-
tion until the trial has taken place and
the prisoners convicted Of murderons
assault. Minister Months statement
warrants the assumption that the trial
will begin Immediately, and it is ap-
parent the regular processes of the Chilian
law are being carried forward with
proper expedition, and there is fair
ground to expect an apology, the United
States government will doubtless continue
to await the result for reasonable time.
Minister Montt characterizes as absurd
the statement coming from Vallejo, CAL,
that Davidson, the Baltimore sailor. was
tried and convicted in Chill without his
knowledge or that of the officers of the
vessel. Minister Pereira's dispatch of
yesterday supports Months statement on
this point, for it shows that Davidson was
indicted, but wss not tried. 1t is entire
ly improbable that he ever will be tried
In Chill for rioting, as it is not supposed
he would be surrendered 10 the legal
authorities of that country, even should
they demand his surrender.

Were Foulrx Murdered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-United States
District Attorney Garter, who has been
assisting Judge Advocate General Remy
in the Baltimore investigation at Vallejo,
said tonight:
There is no doubt but that Riggrn and
Turnbull were foully murdered, that the
assaults on the Americans were unpro-
vokec, and that many were outrageous
The testimany points very strongly to the
fact that while the attack resulted from
quarrel between Riggin, Talbot and a
Chilian sailor, it was seized upon by the
ChlllaE mob as pretext for general
attack. 1t was also fully shown that
police and soldiers in Chilian uniforms
made little effort to dispel the crowd and
protect the Americans, and that they
even joined in the assault Although
there were instances of arrests being
made and protection given to American
sailors during that time, / still affirm
that Riggfn and Turnbull were foully
murdered.

stoekmen MISSING.

UNION, Or, Jan. ia report is In
circulation here to-day that E. B. Hill,
the young but enterprisiDg stockman,
is reported missing. He went to Salmon
river few weeks ago TO take charge of

Boot.

VIsALIA, Aug. 13.-George Sontag
made bold effort to escape this even
ing.
H When it came time to lock the cells
for the night, Frank Williams, awaiting
trial on a charge Of burglary, stepped
into Scntag's cell, instead of his own. a.
large hole had been cut in the tor. of the
cell some time during the day, and it
was undoubtedly the intention Of the
men to enter the corridor through the
cell, and then dig out through the wall.
Jailcr Fudge had bis suspicions aroused,
and he and three others entered the
upper foor, opened Sontag's door, and
the train robber waHh taken out and
fitted with an Oregon boot. In Son.
tag's cell was jound caee knife

knifes that had been eused for cutting
rivets. When the Oregon boot was put
ON Sontag, together with 9 ball and
chain, he remarked coolly, "I'm not

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Superintendent
Troy of the railway mail service, who
had charge of the train which carried
$50, ,0O0, 900 in gold from the federal sub
treasury in San Francisco to the
sub-treaeury at New York, ar
rived here today. He says he
has no desire to repeat the
experience of the trip, and is of the
opinion that the government will not
try it again soon. Publication of the
fact that the train had started increased
the dangers and necessitated increased
vigilance. The result was the loss of
many hours' sleep. The guards in the
front car were 30 situated that ther
could see without being seen, and at
the same time cover and protect the
engineer and fireman with Wincbesters.
( The party had two or three bad scares
on the trip. At one place in the noun
tains railway employe placed tor
pedo signal on the track, and came near
losing his life as train wrecker, the
guards thinking it dynamite. Atanoth-
er point number OF tramps made q
dash to board the train, but beat q pre-
cipitate retreat when confronted by a
score Of double-barreled rifles.

now at Mont Eagle awaiting the action
Of the state authorities.
All the property of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company was removed to

fred. After the torch was applied the
miners proceeded to the mines, took
possession of the convicte, marched
them to the railroad station and loaded
them in box cars. Governor Buchanan
states that the convicts will be brought
here and kept in the main prison until
new stockade is built.
After the convicts were loaded on the
train, the engineer and conductor were
covered with guns and ordered TO leave
immediately. They ran to Cowan, Ten

guards, has the convicts under con-
troll. Between Suwanee and Mont

New YoRK, Aug. l3.-The Herald's
Trinidad special says: Further particu-
lars are received here OF bloody and
decisive battle at Ciudad BoIi-
var. A considerable force was
sent to attack the governmentals
in the intrenchments. Alter q
sharp engagement they retired, appar-
emily in great disorder. Seeing the foe
in full retreat, governmentals left the
shelter OF their intrenchmente, deter
mined to crush the leealists. This was the
opportunity for which Hernandez and
Gil were waiting. No sooner
had the governmentals got fairly
on to the plains outside the city
than they were confronted by the Le-
galista reserve, which outnumbered the
forces in the field, and were soon hotly
pursued. The government realized fhst
they had made q mistake in daring to do
battle on the plains, and be-
gan to retreat. Then the de-
cisive blow of the battle was. struck.
The Legalist cavalry, which was kept in
reserve, was thrown with tremendous
effect on the already broken ranks of
the government. The retreat became a
rout, and the governmentals were swept
practically out of existence as an organ
lied army. The victorious Legalietas
entered Bolivia and soledad practically
without further opposition.
