DOUGLASS STILL IN JAIL.
The Official, Suspected of Smuggling,
Fails to Get Bail.


Thomas Douglass, the customs inspector.
who was arrested on Thursday and charged
with the crime of attempting to smugge
large quantity OF opium from the steamer
China, tried very hard all day yesterday to
secure bondsmen. but up till the time of
the closing of the Marshaps office he had
only succeeded in securing one surety in
the sum of 5000. 1t was stated that he
had the promise of another bondsman.
Douglass was assigned to quarters in the
Alameda County jail, and will continue TO
reside there until he secures his release on
bail
The story of Douglass offense was the
talk of the whole Custom house yesterday.
The fact that he did not secure bail readily
was commented upon, and The impression
prevailed that his father had not interested
himself much in the case.
Collector Phelps yesterday formally sus-
pended Douglass from duty, and sent a
communication to Washington recommend
ing his dismissal
Some believe that as Douglass was for
some Tina guide in Chinatown he be-
came acquainted with the leaders of the
smuggling ring, and that his offen3e of
Thursday morning in the small hours was
not his first act in that direction.
1t is thought that one of the Chinese
| crew approached Douglass, telling him that
all that was required Of him was to row 10
an adjoining wharf, where some hours be-
fore number of Cinnamon were c0ngre-
| gated acting SuspiciOusly.
Collector Phelps was somewhat severely
criticized for having appointed Douglass TO
so responsible position as that of an in
| spector in the face of the latter's record.
1t Is thought that there are still several
| hundred tins of opium hid in the China.
| and a careful watch is being kept to pre-
vent its being landed.

FROM THE ORIENT.
Great Fire in the Capital
of Japan.
Over Three Hundred Houses Burned
Movements of Sealers-A Miss
ing Officer.

By the steamer Belgic, which arrived last
night from the Orient. we have Yokohama
advices TO April Z:
On March IS fire broke out in the house
OF charcoal merchant, by name Ono
Heibei, in the First Ward Of Izumcho,
Kanda, Toxic, and burned until nearly
midnight, by which time over 800 houses
had been destroyed. The fire, famed by
strong southerly wind. soon spread in all
directions. and in few minutes had caught
the immense buildings of the Icbimura
Theater. The flames then made their way
toward Okachimachi and NichO-machi In
Shitaya. and the Shitaya District Court was
reduced to ashes in a very short space of
time.
Great anxiety was experienced in regard
to the safety of the Imperial University
Hospital erected at ldZumichO. The build
ings at one time caught fire, but the flames
were subdued ere they could get control Of
the hospital. One hundred and eighty
three houses, one police box and one shed
were completely destroyed, and seven
abOdes and two outhOuses partly damaged
in ldZumirhC, while 242 houses, one godown,
one District Court, one theater and two
other public places were burnt 10 the ground
and sixteen dwellings considerably dam
aged in Shiiaya. Several fremen were
more or less severely injured, one succumD-
ing to the injuries which he received. a
man was fatally wounded by falling from Il
roof
The movement OF the foreign sealing
sehOoners which are now collected in
japanese waters, twenty strong are closely
watched by the authorities. The masters
of these vessels, which hail from Van
cOuver mostly, are anxious to secure the
services of Japanese pilots. The authori-
ties are doing their best to prevent the en-
gagement of Japanese subjects upon such
perilous enterprises. The Kaisuragi kan
has been dispatched to patrol the northern
waters
The Chosen Shimpo, japanese paper
published Mt NinseD, mentions that grave
anxiety is felt concerning the fate of Lieu
tenant Yashiro, who left VIadivost0ck on
January 10 for Soul by a eircuitouS route
| through the interior of Siberia. 1t was
originally estimated that he would reach
the Korean capital on or about the 18th of
February. Nothing having been heard
from him the Japanese Consular Agent at
Vladiy0stock telegraphed to the Japanese
legation at SOu!, requesting that Inquiries
should be at once made as to bis where
abouts. Commander Nino. attached to the
Japanese legation, promptly made pTepara-
tons To send out a searching party along
the route which Yashiro was believed to

entertained about his safety

anything by nsing, and we came to the con-
clusion that elk were not made to work in
harness, and it seemed by their actions
that the elk wear of that mind, so early in
the spring they were driven back into the
park.
During the month of August, after they
were four years old. they became ill-natuTed
and ugly, and one had become so furious
that we had 10 look around for some way
to confine him. IL he broke through the
fence we considered him very dangerous
aud nc man dare 60 into tile park when the
elk was in sight l believe that / never
saw an animal more aggressive or that was
more full OF fight. He would go for any
one that stood outside Of the fence as far as
the fence would let him, and he would
stand punching with handspikes and
prodding with pitchforks until his face
would be gore of blood and never finch
nor back an inch, while if he had broken
through the fence the punchers and
prodders would have wished themselves
anywhere else but there.
The way secured that elk from further
trouble was this: Taking twenty-five feet
OF cable rope and climbing on TO the fence,
thence into the top of white beech That
was full of limbs and stood close inside of
the fence. tied one end of the rope to a
strong limb, having made a strong moose at
the other end, and then worked my way
down on the lower limbs. some eight or nine
feet from the ground. By that time the elk
Just then | would as soon have walked
into the grasp of a grizzly bear as TO have
dropped from that limb, although outside
OF the rutting reason he was no more dam
gerous than Devon steer. He soon gave
me as good chance as | wanted, and | was
lucky enough to drop the moose over both
horns. Then l had him safely tied up,
where he was fed with hay and oats for
three weeks, after which he was ct lonse,
being then as quiet as the others. which
numbered at that time ffteen-does, fawns
and young bucks.
Some time in the month of December fol-
lowing we drove those two old bucks down
through the lane 10 the barn and had them
altered, and drove them back into the park
again. In the spring they shed their horns
at the usual time and the next set we're
grown to the full size. but the velvet dried
down to the horn and never peeled, and
they never shed them.
The trumpet-like call or lowing of tho
buck elk, which is heard only in the ruttn :
season, is unique and can hardly be imi-

SILVER WOMEN.
Specimen Efforts to Embody Their
Figures in Precious Metals.

st. LOUIS Republic.
Montana's unique silver exhibit at the
Worlds Fair-that much talked-of silver
statue of Ada Rehan-has been prolific
source Of misstatements and inaccurate his
torical comment during the last two or three
months. One writer declares that if is the
only life-size statue that has ever been made
of a precious metal, and another that it Is
the most valuable piece of statuary known
in the world both statements being about
as far from the truth as ii Is possible to get.
The statue of the Goddess Athene, made
by Phidias, the Greek scGl ptor, in 43S b. c.,
was made OF solid gold and ivory, the robe
of the statue alone being worth a talents
of gold, the talent being $3.50 Here we
have it in nutshell: The dress, the
lightest part of the ivory and gold statue of
Atbene, was worth twenty times as much as
that silver statue of Ada Rehapi And this
was one Of Phidias' minor works. His
ivory and gold statue of Jupiter Olympus
was nearly twice as large as Athene (the
latter being 80 feet and the former 60 feet In
height.
Coming down to modern times, we might
mention that Editor Chids of Philadelphia
owns solid silver statue, ife-sze, and the
exact mOdel Of a perfect woman. She
stands on Mexican onyx clock. four feet
in height, and holds the pendulum Of the
clock suspended from her right hand. The
statue is 8 feet 5h inches in height.

My brother had pair of BUCK elks 2h
years old at that time. the eldest Of half
dozen deer which he kept in a park.
Those two bucks we separated from
the others. and we drove them through
lane into the barnyard. thence into the
horse stable. where they were kept few
days and subjected to the halter After that
a harness, which had been prepared for
the purpose, was fitted on aud they
were taken out and htched up to n
light one-horse sleigh. All this was accom-
plished without much resistance on the
part Of the elk. But it required much coax
ing and some whipping to make the first
start. We succeeded, however. in driving
mile or two, but they did not take kindly to
the bit and could not be guided much by
the lines: consequently we made zig-zag
courses and frequently brought up against
fence or some other obstruction. They
were harnessed and driven perhaps ten
times during the winter with about the
same result. They did not seem to learn
