Street Paving Contracts Let Under the

SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. N.--Somewhat
of a sensation has been caused in this
city by the discovery of the fact that
the contract for paving Third street,

the payment of about $4,000, none
of it being business property.

the owners feel the pressure severely
and are indignant that the blunder
should have been made in letting the
contract. The property owners signed
petition to pave, but with the under
standing that they would have 10 years.

Australia to Furnish Meat for British
Soldiers.
LONDON. Jan. -Wordall, financial
secretary of the war Office, received a
deputation of Queensland meat export
ers on the subject of supplying meat to
the army. Wordall. after hearing the
deputation, said although Australian
frozen meats were inferior to chilled
American meats. yet the government
was willing to give exporters of meat
from Australia an opportunity to show
what they could do. The government
would therefore apply to parliament at
the coming session for funds to establish
storage chambers at Gibraltar for Aus
tralian meat, to feed the garrison at that
post, and if the experiment should prove
successful, the use of Australian meat
in the army would be extended.

need by "A Deadly Peril.


DUBLIN, Oct John Redmond, the
Parnellite leader and member of parlia-
ment for Waterford, made a speech ut
the Parnellite meeting here which i'm
dicates clearly that the Parnellites
will no longer support Mr.. Gladstone
or his policy. Mr. Redmond discussed
the home rule situation and remarked
that the whole question had undergone
fatal change. Continuing, Mr.. Red
mond said that the situation they had
met 10 consider was one of deadly peril
70 Irishmen; the home rule question
had been hung up by the liberal party
in parliament, and the independent
nationalist who consented to submit
TO the rejection of the home rule bill
were either fools or slaves.
Continuing, Mr. Redmond said that
the Irish cause at the present moment
was menaced by deadly peril which
was the inevitable result of the nation
alists' surrender TO the English The
late Charles Stewart Parnelrs predios
ton was fully justified, said Mr.. Red.
mond there was no use in deceiving
the Irish people into the belief that
the British people who had taken up
home rule acted from any other motive
than necessity, and only when they
realized that British interests were
imperiled.
The danger, the speaker claimed, lay
In the fact that Ireland no longer
blocked the way. The liberals. ac.
cording TO Mr. Redmond, had hung up
Nome rule for an entire year (untii
1894 at least, and now they intended

lish reforms, without having settled
with Ireland, so soon as the voters OF
Great Britain realized that Ireland
would submit to this. Thus, Mr. Red.
mond added, was n large part of Mr.
Parnelrs life work undone, and home
rule would disappear for a generation
or more.
In conclusion, Mr. Redmond made
definite announcement TO the effect
that at the coming session of parlia.

CHICAGO. Oct. 13-Frenzied with
fright and driven into a stampede by
fire that broke out Thursday night in
the Wallace street barns of the Chicago
City Railway Co, nearly six hundred
horses were burned TO death. The
number of hostlers around the building
was not large, and, though they did
their best and were aided by men from
the rapidly gathering crowd, they were
able 20 rescue but few of the poor
beasts. All the horses were on the
first floor, and in ten minutes after the
fire was discovered they were helpless
They were blinded by the flames and
smoke that rolled through the place in
great volumes. and soon a stampede
was in progress
The animals surged back and forth in
groups of fifties and hundreds in their
efforts 10 escape. Their loud neighing
and an occasional cry Of pain told the
people on the street OF the fearful
scenes that were being enacted on the
inside Yet little or nothing could at
first bee done TO save any of the animals.
Gradually the sounds of the stampede
grew fainter, and it was apparent that
they were being killed off rapidly. and
when the first group of firemen had
fought their way into the barn they
sawrharred carcasses lying n bout on
every side. In the south end of the
barn were gathered about seventy-five
horses They were huddled together
so compactly that they appeared as one
mass.
The men pushed forward. hoping TO
drive them out. but they themselves
were compelled TO retire by the heat
and smoke. Ten minutes later they

much smaller. FIFTEEN only had sur

dead bodies of the others to the near

In the burned building were $40
horses, and in the upper story were
thirty cars. There were also 200 tons
of hay and 500 bushels OF mixed grain.
