afternoon by the worst baptism of fire 1t ever
experienced. 1t was first discovered In the
iniil plant of Sample y Camp on what Is
known as the middle ground, south OF the

ings, including Hose house No, 6, and j. F.
W.nklcr's ice houses. All the residences on
Tilden street, and on both sides of Washing
ton avenue down to Holden street were
quickly licked up.
Then the sparks were carried across the old
bay into the premises of the George Cross
Lumber Company, the planning mill, lumber
ia the yard and dozen tenement houses
melting like snow. Next came the Abingdon
Curtis Manufacturing Company's expensive
plant aud Passolts old soap factory. Here
the fire struck jefferson street and In which

hOon In ashes, Al Emerson street the nfe

ward the city limits. 1t cut wide swath on
Oven, Howard Sheridan and Warren ave-
me. and ether streets cast. Nincents Of

TENTS were all removed from St Mary's hos
pital. which was in extreme danger for a
time, but which was saved.
The area covered by the fire was mile and
a half in length and from two 10 four blocks
In width. A large number of fine residences
were destroyed, owes forty having been de-
s,roycd tina; cost from 5000 to $4,000 each.

THE sea serpent which fishermen
at Beach point, on the Massachusetts
coast, captured proves to have been
the genuine old monster at the sum-
MGR resort 1t was the veritable ma
rinc terror that the skipper OF the

yarns about for hundreds of years
past The true sea serpent will
never allow himself to be captured,
dead or alive. The escape Of this
Massachusetts specimen did credit to
his race and proved his genuineness

highest point known, and the damage al
ready done will reach many hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars. Several OF the larger
railway bridges Of the Union Pacific, North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern have been
washed out.
Many of the farms in that section have
been flooded and crops entirely destroyed.
Many families are camping on the hills, hav.

entertained for the safety OF the m ills and
the houses along the banks OF the river In
Spokane, for II the water continues to rise
the next three days as it has for the past
three, several million dollars worth of prop
crty will be destroyed. Houses, barns and
haystacks could be seen going down the
river, crashing over the big falls.

After IA While.
Assistant Secretary Curtis of the treasury
department, will have charge of matters con-
nccted with the execution OF the Geary law,
20 far as 1t relates to that branch of the gov
crnment. He Is already at work preparing
plans OF procedure, though the policy of the
department has not yet been announced. 1t
Is understood, however, that 1t will be some
time before active steps can be taken, and as
every days delay will bring the eIpect,d
extra session Of Congress nearer, 1t is proba.
Bile that no undue haste will be observed. 1t
is pretty certain that the funds available for
the execution OF the law will be used to carry
1t out IA far rs possible. Not great many
Cinnamon can ne dcported with the money
now available, and IT is rather difficult 10 de-
termine where TO begin and what classes shall
be taken first.
The probability Is that the first selections
will be made in San Francisco among the un-
registered Cinnamon. who are known to the
police authorities OF that city rs highbinders
or a. criminals. Their deportation cannot DO
deemed offensive to their own country In an
International sense, though It may regret cx-
ccedingly to receive them. Mr.. Curtis sAys
that the law Will be enforced so far ms 1t Is in
the power Of the government 10 do 80, though
no undue haste will be observed in Its cxecu-
ton.
1--WE do not want TO take any hasty steps,"
he said, 'that will render the government or
its officials Individually liable for damages as
a result OF false imprisonment or wrongful
deportation. We expect to wait until all the
questions OF Law have been settled.
The supreme Court has settled the cues
ton OF the constitutionallty OF the law, bu;
there are various points remaining to he set
tied in relation TO its execution and the man
uer and method OF procedure. For instance,
VIC must frs. determine who shall be arrested,
by whom, how, when and where imprisoned,
how deported, etc. The mandate Of the Su-
prcmc Court regarding the case just decided,
has been sent to the Circuit Court Of New
York, and think all the points which have
been referred to the departments legal ad-
visers will be settled soou."
