night burned the Arlington hotel building
and the upper story of the Olympia house.
causing a loss of ST, 500. 5000 on buildings
and about $500 on furniture in the Olympia
house. There was no insurance on the
Arlington, belonging to I. u. sehodeld,
but Thomas Armstrong. owner of the
Olympia, carried s. 000 which will cover
his loss. about 800. The tire started in
the Arlington, but how is not known, al
though there are rumors atioat that a gang
OF hoodlums had been having n supper
there last night off stolen chicken, and 1t
is supposed that in some way the FIRE
caught from the range or its flue. II was
about 4 o'ciock this morning when the fire
was discovered, and AZ that time the build
ing was mass OF flames inside, and the
fire had burned is way out in two or three
places then. When the fire boys arrived
the flames had burst out through the roof
and we're lighting up the whole town.
Splendid work vas done by the ire
company. as the Olympia hotel, only eight
feet away, was saved. excepting the upper
story, although il had a mansard roof, and
the dormer windows made il almost I'M
possible 20 get stream inside the build
ing The Arland block. only eighteen
inches from the Arlington, was saved
without auy damage beyond slight
scorchiug in two or three places. The
damage TO il will not exceed So.
The site where the Arlington stood and
where the Olympia stands, seems TO have
a fatality connected with IL ss far as fire l.
concerned, As nine years ago the WAidron

Arlington afterwards was built. caaght

three years, and was supposed TO bs unoc-
eunfed at the time il aas burned.

HOW JIM BUpD WAS ELECTED.



San FRAxcrsco, Dec. 4-The real ex-
tent of the recent election frauds in this
city is becoming apparent. AT the in
vesGigation before Judge Wallace this
morning Adolph Guttman. q dry goods
clerk who lives on Clara street, made a
clean confession of his completely IN the
fraudulent registration scheme in which
the Baldwin hotel is involved. Guttman
testified that be was prevailed upon TO
illegally register from the Baldwin by one
Stein berg. vho was then employed by the
city as deputy registrar of elections. After
several interviews with Steinberg he
finally consented 10 register. it being
understood that he was 10 vote for Ma
honey for state senator. He was given
KEY 10 q room in a hotel, but never slept
there. Steinberg told him that others we're
registering in the same manner and assured
him he would get into no trouble. When the
fraud was finally exposed, Steinberg and
Fa; Jack O'Conuor. who is bailiff in one
of the police courts. came 70 him, with
others, and he was paid money to leave the
city. The prosecution promised that other
witnesses would give similar testimony.
Before the election commissioners this
morning other instances of glaring frauds
we're brought out. Ia several precincts
where fraud has clearly been practised the
precinct election officers have refused TO
sign the returns or satisfactorily explain
befors the commissioners. Acting on be-
half of the election commissioners. Mayor
Ebert today swore cut warrants for the
arrest of the election officers of the Six
teenth precinct of the Thirty-frst district.
He was also authorized to cause the ar
rest of other officials who have refused TO
do their duty. There are many precinct
officials who have positively refused to
sign the returns they have sent in, and.
consequently, the commissioners have
been unable 10 canvass the votes. 1t is
limited that this may be a scheme TO throw
out great many precincts in which Budd
had been given 8 majority for governor.
Under the law, however. IL is a penal
offense TO refuse TO perform the duty de-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Said She VIII Take the Initiative in
Settling the China-Japan
Controversy.
JAPAN WOULD ACCEPT FIRST
Because She Has Everything to Gain
at the Present Time---Another
Big Fight.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The peace
negotiations between China and Japan
are likely to take an unexpected turn,
according to diplomates here. who are
informed Of the progress of affairs.
The critical illness of the car has for
the time being diverted Russia from
the attention she was going to give to
the eastern war, and has made it i'm
probable that the c2ar should take the
initiative toward bringing the contest
ants together. The Intervention of
England or France has been viewed
with distrust owing to the territorial
interests those countries have in Asia,
Under these circumstances diplomatic
officials here say that Germany will
undoubtedly take the initiative in any
peace settlement.
Japan Would Accept.
Whether such steps have already been
taken is not known here, but the Off
cials best acquainted with the facts say
there is little doubt of the part Ger
many win take, and the intimation is
made that the negotiations will not be
deferred.
The same authorities say that when
the peace proposition is submitted,
Japan would be the more ready of the
two belligerent powers to accept it,,
Notwithstanding the reports that China
was the more anxious for peace. The
explanation given for this is that any
peace settlement at the present time
would be to the marked advantage of
Japan. owing to her recent victories,
and to a corresponding disadvantage to
China. The Japanese have everything
to gain by a settlement on the basis OF
the war up to date. while the Chinese
have everything to gain by waiting
until they offset these losses.

PROFESSOR PICKERINGs OPINION.

Discrcdits the Report That the Arequipa
Station Has Been Wrecked.
BOSTON, Oct. 25.-Professor Picker
ing of the Harvard observatory was
asked to give his opinion on the report
that the Harvard observation station at
Arequipa had been sacked. He said he
could not verify the report. Observers
in Cambridge seldom have any tele-
graphic communication with the sta
ton owing to the fact that it costs some
So for each word.
81 have hopes, however," he said in
continuing, "that the report as published
is distorted by being handed about
from one country to another. think
that the station that has been sacked is
that on Ell Misti, and not that
at Arequipa. This station is ex-
tremely important, for it is the
highest meteorological station in the
world, and observations made from
there have already been very valuable.
The loss of what instruments there are
there will not amount to anything SO
far as actual money goes, for the In
struments would only cost few hun.
bred dollars in America. But it would,
nevertheless, be great loss, because it
is with the greatest difficulty that any
thing can be carried there. The
atmosphere is SO rare on the summit
that no one can pretend to live there.
So three times month somebody goes
there from Arequipa and takes record
of all the work the automatic instru-
ments have been doing in the previous
10 days. From these facts You can
readily understand that the sacking Of
the station would be serious event.

THE HAwAIIN CABLE.

Government Omcials Think the English
Proposition Not Quite Reasonable.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 25.-News has
been received Of Great Britain's attempt
to lay cable to Hawaii. The British
commissioners now in Honolulu. Sam
ford Fleming of Canada and J. Mercker
from the colonial Office, have submitted
their propositions to the government OF
the republic Of Hawaii, asking for q
lease of Necker island and subsidy Of
$50, 900 per year for fifteen years.
In return for these grants they prom.
Use cable and to make the charge for
messages one shilling word, with q
reduction for messages sent by the gov
eminent and for press dispatches.
The commissioners ask also condi.
ton from the government that Necker
island shall be coded to Great Britain,
in the event Of annexation Of Hawaii
to the United States.
Considers the Price Too High.
The government Of Hawaii is anxious
for cable connection, but is not satisfied
with the conditions offered by the COM
missioners. The proposition for condi-
tional cession of Necker island to Great
Britain will not be considered. This
consideration must be omitted alto
gether. British commissioners expect
success from their commission. The
subsidy asked is also deemed too large.
The Hawaiian government would not
consider the proposition at all If any
prospect for cable to the United States
were in sight. AS the government Of
this country seems to be taking no &C
ton, the offers of the British commits.
sioner il amended to suit the Hawaiian
government, may be accepted.
