Great Fires in GERMANY.

HAMBURG, April Fire broke out at
7:30 this morning in a warehouse at
Maiser quay. The flames, fed by the in
flammable contents of the building, spread
with great rapidity, and at this hour
(noon) the damage amounts to several
million marks. The firemen were
promptly on the scene, but the streams
turned on the building did not check
the fire to any extent. By the
time the fire had burned itself out
the warehouse was completely Quilted,
only the bare walls being left standing.
Large quantities of cotton and coffee were
stored on the upper floor, while the cellars
were filled with casks and barrels OF oil
and spirit, which made an intensely hot
fire. The loss by the fire is as yet un-
known, but it is very heavy.
BERLIN, April "A dwelling housed
Posen caught fire during the night and be-
fore all the inmates could escape the stairs
were on fire. On the fourth story of the
building were woman and five children.
The only way for them to escape the
death that threatened was to jump from
the windows. The crowd on the street got
a blanket, which was spread and held in
place by a number of men. The woman and
children were then told to jump. They
did so. The woman jumped and struck
the blanket with such force that it was
torn from the grasp of the men. She fell
to the stone pavement and was instantly
killed. One of the children jumped and
met the same fate. 1t seemed to be i'm
possible for the men to hold the blanket
firmly enough to prevent the persons from
falling. The other children also jumped,
but two received injuries that will prove
fatal

Chicago Boodlers Likely to Escape.

CHICAGO. April 1.-The Doodle investi-
CATION which has caused such stir among
all politicians ended today. A recon-
mendation by the grand jury was made,
looking to a continuance of the inquiry
by a specially chosen body, but whether
this will be done seemed this afternoon
rather problematical. The final session
was a stormy one. The grand jury voted
not to rescind the indictments against
Alderman Daniel O'Brien, one of
the alleged boodlers, against whom
the evidence is said to be tiimsy. Six
members of the grand jury favored
resembling and voted for similar action,
and Jurymen Nicholson, Boulder. Cos
tin and Goerman declared that the accusa-
tions were based on mere hearsay. General
Levy, the foreman of the grand jury,
violently ass allied his dissenting associates,
aud limited that they. too, were corrupt.
This was warmly resented, and for while
the session seemed likely to end in rough
and-tumble fight Under the indictments
only one of the ten suspected officials.
Alderman William o'Brien. must neces-
sarily go to the pen if found guilty. If the
others are ever convicted they may escape
with fine.

Boy Tramps Arrested a. Pittssurg.

PITTsBuRe, April 2.--Five boys. picked
up by the police for vagrancy last night,
were arraigned this morning. They gave
the names of John Mccarthy, aged
l., Sacramento; James Driscoll, aged u,
Austin, Tex. ohm Skim. aged IL, Chicago;
Martin Malone, aged IL, Cleve-
land; Thomas Richards, aged Is.
Duluth, MINI. Each had good
clothing and considerable money. They
asserted that their parents were
dead, that they were thrown on
the world to shift for themselves.
Further explanation they declined to
make, beyond saying they met at Alliance.
The police do not believe their story, and
they were committed to the workhouse
until the story is looked into.

be, it is believed by the Republican city
committee, about sO0 Mayor Handle was
elected by 800. But Huson's majority will
probably be less than half of the city COM
mittee's estimate.
Byron Barlow who has been stigmatized
as Republican ringleader, stated tonight
that he would not, in the event that Huson
and the Republican ticket are elected, &C
cept or be q candidate for any city office.
Other members of the so-called ''ring"
have declared their intentions to step down
and out. This only confirms what the
Posr-INTELLIGENcER has stated during the
past two weeks.
Judge Van Fossen has declared
against the young Democrats who are rum
ming the city campaign, and says Parker's
nomination was mistake, and that the
young Democrats must be responsible for
his defeat. One of the strangest freaks OF
the campaign is the belief prevalent among
many employees of the Tacoma Railway
and Motor Company that if Huson is
elected they will not be able to secure any
concessions from the company in the way
OF satisfactory wages, while if Parker is
elected they think he would aid them
should extreme methods be resorted to in
case of strike.
The climax in red fire, torchlight and
speechmaking demonstration was reached
tonight when 5000 Republicans turned
out spontaneously to attend mass-meet-
ing at Alpha opera-house. Overflow meet
ings had to be held in the street. The
column of the parade was over half mile
long. The Democrats held five ward NEST
ings, and the demonstrations will be re-
peated Monday night.
Notes written by City Clerk Haskins
and others were published this evening to
show that the Republicans had employed
men to aid in inducing people to register
and hold certificates. Haskins explains
that men were employed to drive out no.
Dos who wanted to register, and he signed
a note stating that one Of them had aided
in this work.

Chinese Retaliation on Americ..

New York, April 2.-The Erening Tele-
gram states that Chinese residents of this
country have for some time been circu-
lating petition among their countrymen
praying the emperor of the fiowery king
dom to retaliate on the United States. and
the petition has already received 400, COO
signatures. The petition states that the
celestial residents of this country are to
endure even greater hardships in the
future than they now endure, and accuses
the United States of breaking faith. The
blame for this is laid on immigrants from
Europe, and not on the native born popu-
lation

HOPING BLAINE WILL RUN.
Republicans Give Credence to the Rumor
That He Will Be Nominated.

WASHINGTON CRY, April Especial. i
There was quite q futter of excitement
among the prominent Republican poll
ticians who congrel ated at the capitol
after the rumor circulated by William H.
Grace. prominent Republican politician
of New York, that he had information
Secretary Blaine would yet be the nominee
of the Republican party in this campaign
and that he would make race with all
the energy that could be expected of any
candidate.
In an interview with the Washington
City correspondent of the Brooklyn Stand
ard Union. Republican paper, of which
Murat Halsted is the editor-in-chief, Mr..
Grace stated yesterday that he had had a
two hour conversation with Secretary
Blaine, and that political matters were
chiefly discussed at this conference. In
an interview today Mr.. Grace stated that
from the information he has secured In
the last twenty-four hours he believes
there will be determined movement on
foot among Republican politicians who
are opposed to the denomination of Presi-
dent Harrison to swing the presidential
prize to Secretary Blaine at Minneapolis
Mr.. Grace is also positive that if any effort
of this kind is made that Secretary Blaine
will not throw any cold water upon the
movement.
As the Grace story gained circulation in
the capital, the friends of President Harri-
son simply passed it off with a laugh, but
the men who have all along claimed that
it would be unwise to nominate Mr.. Har-
rison profess to believe that there is a
good deal of foundation for the story Mr..
Grace has put into circulation. 1t is
claimed that Grace came to Washington
City upon the request of certain politicians
who are supposed to be intimate with Sec
rotary Blaine. and who still insist that he
is the only safe candidate to head the Re-
publican ticket this year.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The mammoth illustrated edition of TIE REPUBLICAN will be e grand suc- cess. The interest manifested by the people in all parts of the territory in the enterprise, insure us of ample sub stantial encouragement to warrant an outlay of money that will make it the handsomest and most widely circulated publication ever issued in the south west.
 The King brothers are now in Tucson gathering information for the paper, and the Star speaking of them ssys:
 King Bros., of TIE ARIZONA REPUBLI- CAN, are in the city in the interest Of their illustrated edition. The issue will surpass anything of this character ever published in the west. The illustrations will consist of everything that is of in terest in the territory. Tucson will be represented in very extensive manner as 1t is considered the leading city of the territory. Views of all the public and prominent buildings with portraits of her leading citizens will be one of the features of the publication.
 The Kings come well recommended and will no doubt make the thing a grand success. They will call on the business men of Tucson and explain their plan.
