CASA GRANDE cONFLAGRA ALTON
Favorable Conditions - Tramps
Charged With Firing II.

Favorable Conditions Tramps
Charged With Firing It.
The late fire at Casa Grande was
viewed by j. Blitz. in the city today
Trsmps were the cause, be thinks.
He says they have been about town
numerously of late, and on the night of
the fire undoubtedly slept in shed.
The night was cold and they probably
built a tire. A strong wind arose next
morning which probably scattered the
embers against the shed.
A more perfect fire trap and occasion
for fire could not have been made to
order. The buildings all had shlngle
roofs, dry as powder, the wind was a
young hurricane-twenty-hve miles an
hour-and the shed Vas ON the right
side to carry fire to the whole row of
business places Of which the town
largely consists.
Looking back now it is said that by
blowing up one of the buildings the
rest could have been saved. But they
didn't use any giant powder.
The fact is they hardly bad time to
do anything. The fire was sudden and
intense. In twenty-five minutes II had
the whole row of houses, stores, saloons,
ETC., ablaze and some Of them in embers.
A bucket brigade was started, but
was useless. Ore man threw water
against the outside of an adobe wall
with the inside all of roar with fire.
He did it 40 ssve the WALL" The work
of saving contents Of buildings was hasty
and exceedingly incomplete. In some
In none was all the goods gotten out.
The losses were as follows: Flyers
livery stable with some of the contents.
The Fryer hotel, in charge OF Mrs.
Mckinney.
Justice Marshalrs Office, the records
being burned.
James Woods saloon, with part of the
contents.
j. Crsmer's saloon and contents; loss
$1,000.
E. ID. DreT's store; value of contents
$1,000; insurance, $500. The building
belonged to MIS-. Tomlinson.
VIM. McQuinn's saloon, with con-
tents.
Smiths restaurant, all lost except
half dozen pies.
W. G. Smiths store. Some of the goods
were removed, but are much damsg d.
Mr.. Smith Is heavy loser.
The total loss was about $4,000, with
small insurance. Underwood i. Gibbon
of this city bad no insurance there.
Prospects for rebuilding are cot good.
Mr.. Cramer. who has stock
and some ready money, may rebuild,
but with the preseCt mining depres-
sion, and Casa Gran e mas been pre-
eminently mining headquarters, little
is likely to be done at present. 1t is a
bad blow and comes at a very bad time.

Big Washout on the Santa Fe.

This afternoon kilograms bring in the
rews that a waehout OF alarming ex-
tent has occurr.d on the Santa fe, be-
tween Albuquerque, n. NJ, and La
Junia, Col.
The rains have been heavy there of
late, and the washouts extensive. The
road vii! probably not be opened
through for three or four days.
This means that Tucson will b with
out good deal of its eastern letter mail
for that time, as the Santa Fe bring in
the bulk OF that cias; of mail.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The lie wa

passed at tae opening session of tie
house this morning between Morse of
Massachusetts, and Fithian of Illinois.
Morse attempted to justify his course
in filIbustering yesterday and charged
Fithian with being solely responsible
for the refusal of the house tc permit
him to print in the record newspaper
extracts attacking Pension Commits
sioner Lochren.
F'ithisn replying said Morse had
endeavored to induce him (Fithian) to
withdraw his objections 20 printing by
coming 10 bin and intima:ing he( Morse)
would as member of the committee
on buildings and grounds. would help
FilhIan get through any public
buildings bill in which he might be
interested.
That's absolutely falsel" shouted
Morse, striding menacingly toward
Flthan.
If the gentleman from Massachusetts
denies the statement ] have proof that
will satisfy any member of the house
that my colleague heard the converse
tion." retorted Fithiap.
Morse backed against the rails and
replied meekly: "What the gentleman
says has the color of truth, laughter
but the construction he place on it is
! unqualifiediy false"
III the gentleman denies my state
ment!" yelled Fithian, shaking his fist
angrily at Morse, "he is wilfulIy lying

The house was then In an uproar.
The speaker pounded vigorously for
order declaring both out of order. This

IT aim Of those unions which represent

Tba fable of the single stick and the

Sreakable by itself, but in the bundle
the weakest stick is as strong as the

for a stick to pull out, except 1t is
with the intent to deliberately weaken
the bundle, and the special craft repre-
sented in the stick is weakened lar
more than is the remaining part OF the
bundle. One cannot observe such
withdrawal without coming to the con
clusion that it is under the infuNnce OF

For Impertinonce.

Mr.. EDITOR: This mornings AD-
vERTIsER contains letter from a
person signing himself "a friend of
the Japanese" which is replete with
misstatements. These untruths
may spring from ignorance or be
the work of a meddling fool. The
japanese who have worked out
their contract are not slaves or sub
iect to the control or direction of
the representative of Japan at
Honolulu. There have been one
hundred and fifty men sent to Qua
temala by Captain Ferguson, who
is a duly appointed officer of the
government of Guatemala and has
sent these men because they are
experienced, capable, industrious,
intelligent and law-abiding, and
because they will be fit to act
as lunas for their countrymen
when they go to Guatemala from
Japan. It may safely be expected
that when they obtain such posi-
ton none of them will kick any la
borer to death or shoot them in the
back with a pistol or hnaltreat them
otherwise, and in that respect these
men will be as comfortably off else
where as in these islands. Your
correspondent needs not concern
himself about the treaty that will
be made without him and is none
Of his business. From Hilo fifteen
men were allowed to go, of whom
five only are contract laborers who
have worked out their contracts
and intended to return to Japan.
I do not know whether the people
of Hawaii think this whole matter
of sufficient Importance to justify
my crowding your columns with
this communication if you think
it is, publish this letter if you
please.
Mr.. Dato had nothing whatever
to do with the engagement of the
people from Hilo, except in so far
that he acted as interpreter between
myself and the people who wish to
go to Guatemala. Chinese have
never been employed in Guatemala,
and are not allowed to come there,
and the Japanese who go there are
not deprived of any rights under
the name of Asiatics.
In conclusion, l will say to this
friend of the Japanese at HiIo that
his statement of myself being in
the remotest degree interested in
any commissions for japanese who
come to these islands is untrue
and as he takes the responsibility
of making it, 1 will say in plain
