INCENDIARIES' WORK.
An Organized Gang Trying to
Burn Vallejo.
The Plant of the Electric Light
Company Destroyed Last
Night.

VALLEJO, July pat quarter past
o'clock tonight the plant of the Electric
Light Company, located in a corrugated
iron building on Virginia street, between
Sacramento and Marin, was destroyed
by fire which undoubtedly was of incen-
diary origin.
The interior OF the iron walls were lined
with wood. and this had been saturated
with the oil which was used OF the ma
chinerY.
A small building adjoining the works,
owned by John Laurie and occupied by a
Chinaman, was torn down TO prevent the
flames from spreading. Another building,
a two-story frame, occupied by Kennedy,
the dry-goodS man, was on fire on the
roof. but this was saved by the fremen.
who were hahpered in their work by the
iusufieiency of the water supply.
But little wind was blowing at the time,
and to this was due in a great measure
the fact that a large number Of frame
buildings were not destroyed. The fire
swept the interior of the premises in which
it broke out, and nothing but the walls
remain.
The eIectric-Iight works, which were
located in the heart of the business por-
ton of the city. were erected in the latter
part of 1892 by J. A. Brown, Thomas a.
Thornton, Thomas Brown, William
Walker and John Mcguire, and the COM
pany furnished light to the city and people
of Vallejo until about three months ago,
when, in consequence of financial diff
culties, the concern passed into the hands
of the Sheriff. The plant. which cost be-
tween $40. 600 and S45, 900, was disposed of
by Sheriff's sale for S2S0O, but this sale was
not confirmed. A few days ago it was
sold again, this time for $3.50. E. j. Wilson
of the Grand Hotel, San Francisco, being g
the purchaser. There was no insurance
on the property, therefore the loss is a
total one.
This is the second fire within three days
in Vallejo, the previous one being in the
Figh School, which was totally destroyed
on Friday night. 1t is generally believed
that there exists band of firebugs re-
solved upon the destruction OF public prop
erty. The citizens of Vallejo are very
much excited and number of them are
patrolling the streets to see that no more
mysterious fires break out
There is some talk of organizing vigil
ance committee, which will have for its
purpose the dealing of rapid justice to any
firebug who may be caught.
An investigation has established beyond
the possibility of doubt that on Friday
night the firebell rope was tampered
to prevent the sounding of an alarm when
the fire in the High School was discovered.

CALLS A CONFERENCE.
Address of General Warner of the
Bimetallic League.
The Disastrous Experience Under the
Gold. Standard Policy Forci-
bly, Pointed Out.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-General A. j.
Warner, president of the American BIZ
metallic League, has issued the following
address:
"The country has now had years ex-
perience under the gold standard policy
since the acts of 1898 closing the mints of
India and the stoppage OF the coinage of
silver in the United States. The results
of this experience are manifest on every
side in the business depression of the
country, in labor strikes, and in the gen.
eral discomfort that everywhere prevails.
Congress will soon complete its work, and
the general situation and the prospects
before the country will then be fully dis
closed. Some State elections, involving
the election of United States Senators,
have already been entered upon, and the
campaign for the election of members of
the House for the Fifty-fourth Congress
will soon begin.
I'm view of these conditions the execu-
tive committee of the American Bimetalllc
League have thought it advisable to call a
conference of those who believe that no
permanent improvement in the condition
of the country can be hoped for as long as
the present gold standard policy is pur-
sued, and who favor the immediate res
tOration of the bimetallic standard in the
United States, with the free coinage of
both gold and silver at the ration of 16 TO
1, to be held at Washington, Thursday.
August 16. 1894. to take into consideration
the condition of the country. and to de-
eide upon the policy to be pursued to bring
about the change in the monetary policy of
the Government necessary to restore pros
naritY 10 the people"

NAVAL REORGANIZATI
Important Plan Decided Upon by the
Special Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The special
committee of Congress, made up Of three
Senators and three Representatives,
created for the purpose of framing sys-
tematic reorganization of the personnel of
the navy, has completed Its work on the
staff and line reorganization of the navy
and of the marine corps. 1t remains only
TO reorganize the enlisted branch of tile
service. This branch Of the work will be
completed Monday, so the entire scheme OF
naval reorganization Will be reported to
Congress next week. In the reorganiZa-
iion of the staff and line, completed to-day,
it is pro vided there shall be eight military
CORPS, design ated: Corps of the line, medi-
cal co rps, pay corps, engineer corps, naval
constructors, naval cadets, enlisted men.
The list of commissioned line officers is
divided into seven grades, with the follow
ing limits: Sixteen rear admirals, six
captains, 100 commanders. seventy-tour
lieutenant commanders, $50 lieutenants,
25O lieutenants of the junior grades. and
ensigns sufficient to maintain the total
active list. The rank of commodore of
the navy is abolished. and officers in that
grade now on the active list shall be COM
missioned rear admirals.
No increase is made in any of the corps.
The status of each is fully defined and a
contention of many years as to relative
rank between staff and line officers is
remedied.
The pay Of staff officers is re1uced to
make it conform to that Of the line officers
of the same rank. One of the most impor-
tant features is the creation of reserve
list'' to overcome the present congestion of
the line The reserve list is limited to 100
and is made up by taking from the most
congested branch of the service. Those
first to enter the list must have entered
the service between the years of 1861 and
1867, inclusive. This reserve" does not
increase the number Of officers, the pur-
pose being to assign officers of this list to
work now performed by officers of the
active shore service. 1t is provided that
rear-admirals shall be appointed by the
President from the list of captains and
shall be confirmed by the Senate.

ance with an appeal issued by President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor, which will be published in the
August number of the American Federant,
the official organ of the federation.
1t reads as follows: Eugene V. Debs
stands as one of the most conspicu Gus and
interesting figures before The country.
None doubt his honesty and devotion to
the cause of the wronged against the
wrong-doers. Yesterday he was in jail
awaiting the action of the United States
courts upon the charge of contempt of its
injunction. He was requested to appear
before four different courts. located hun
dreds of miles from each other. each at
the same time. He is under indictment
for conspiracy for obeyiog the instructions
of his organization and requesting railroad
men to quit work to aid their struggling
fellow workmen. The corporations have
their claws ready to fasten upon the body
of Debs, not simply to try and crush him,
but they hope to force the men of labor
into silence and slavish submission.
THAT purpose cannot. dare not, and
will not succeed. Debs must be de-
Tended - he must be ably defended.
In his person at this time he repre-
sents the rights of la Dor. Eugene V.
Dsbs is poor man; he has no money; his
trial and preparation for it will require
considerable amount. and we know that
the workers of the country have never yet
been applied to in vain to help the cause
of justice. humanity and right. All unions
should contribute. We ask all laboring
men to open subscriptions for the Deus
legal defense fund.

MEETING OF THE UNION.
Leader Knox's Wife Makes a Very
Wild Haranpue.

SACRAMENTO, July 22-One of the m ost
enthusiastic meetings held in Sacramento
by members OF the American Railway
Union was called to order at the old pa
vilion tonight. 1t was an important meet
ing, too. for the purpose of 1t was to de-
eide whether the action Of the mediation
committee yesterday in calling the strike
off should be generally indorsed or dis
countenanced entirely. This interesting
and rmomen tous purpose was not attained
altogether, and another session to-
morrow night will be given to the
consideration of the problem. The
meeting this evening was sort of
continuation Of one held this afternoon, at
which it was determined to consider the
action taken by the mediation committee
Yesterday. 1t was enthusiastic to an ex-
tent that has revived all of the old strike
spirit among several hundred members of
the American Railway Union here in Sac
ramento. There was this number at the
meeting and every man of them was hotly
indignant at the calling off Of the strike
yesterday.
Mrs Kuox, wife of Leader Knox who is
now in the Woodland jail, was there and
delivered an impassioned address to the
throng of assembled strikers. "Are you
men or are you curs?" she said. "Have
you nothing of manhood in you? What
has become of your allegiance to the cause
so strongly supported by the man now in
Woodland jail?"
In this strain Mrs. Knox continued dur
ing an address. ''Be men," she said in
her concluding remarks, "be men and con-
tinue in tha cnmmendahle coursa vhiob

you have fought"
There were other speakers quite as en-

dence in the ultimate success of the strik-
ers' fight and their appeals to all present
to stand together and push OF to a victori-
Gus result.

troll of the river and harbor work. has been
appealed to by Senator Mitchell to remit
fines imposed by the army engineers on
John Herman. the sub-contractor, who

CAPTURE OF kASSALA.
1t Has Not Altered Italy's Relations
With the Powers.

ROME, July 22.-In the Senate to-day
Prime Minister Crispi in the course of q
speech referred 10 the recent capture of
Kassaa by the Italian forces. He an
nounced that reinforcement is were not
required to enable the Italians at Kassala
to maintain their position; neither would
it be necessary for them to further expose
themselves in battle with the dervishes.
Signor Crispi added that it was TO be
hoped Italy would find means to coOniZe
Africa. The great object 10 be attained
was to substitute emigration to Africa for
emigration to America. The capture of
Kassala has not altered Italy's relations
with the powers. Her relations with
Great Britain were excellent.
On motion of Signor Cavaletti the Sem
ats expressed its thanks to Prime Minister
Crispi and the President of the Senate for
their devotion to the service of their coun-
try. The adoption of the motion was the
signal for an unusual scene. The Senate
then adjourned for the summer recess.

To the american Public: 1t is almost
universally conceded that the Pullman
Company through the oft-repeated reduc-
tion of wages. excessive rents and many
other causes has grievously Wronged its
employees, and that whatever may be said
about the great strike which resulted in
consequence of such grievance, the arbi-
trary refusal of said Pullman Company to
submit to arbitration in any form (even to
decide the question if there was anything
to arbtrate) is proof positive that said
company had no faith in the justice of its
cause and fears the disclosures that are
certain 10 result from an honest investiga-
tion, and in view of the heavy losses en-
tailed upon the country, such Obstinacy on
the part of the Pullman Company is de-
serving of the seyerest condemnation.
We propose that the Pullman Company
shall be brought to justice, and in way
that shall necessitate strike with its at
tendant ills.
We have faith in the American people;
they uphold justice; they love fair play.
and now, in the name of justice and of
fair play, we appeal to the great Ameri-
can public. to every man and every good
L
the Pullman Co mpany does justice to its
employees. Let the cars run absolutely
empty. No friend of labor, DO friend OF
humanity will occupy seat or berth in
Pullman car. Let this policy be inaugu-
rated and we will then see how long the
railway companies will be bound by their
con tracts, as they have induced the people
to believe, 70 haul Pullman cars.
We propose to continue the fight against
the Pullman Company through good and
evil report. and without regard to conse-
quences, until justice shall be done. There
will be no surrender We will use every
available and lawful means to press the
contest.
1t is requested that all papers through
out the land favora bic to labor, to justice,
to humanity, copy this statement in full
and keep it standing as long as possible.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July Ex-Governor
Tiilman stated to-day that he would issue
his proclamation tomorrow reopening the
dispensaries on August l. He says that
he is determined to enforce the law more
vigorously than ever. The Governor ex-
planned his position. saying the decision
against the constitutionaity of The law
was due to the political prejudices of the
Supreme Court. He said that the decision
did not affect the act of 1898, the necessary
enforcement of which since April II, when
the decision was pronounced, he explained
by saying that he was determined not to
leave the saloon men an opportunity to
bring a test case. De appears to take it
for granted that Justice-elect Gray. who
succeeded Justice McGOwan on July 20. is
settled in his opinion as to the laws va
lidity.
. Gray was president of the State Senate
when the law was passed and assisted in
its enactment. The Governors proposed
action causes the greatest anxiety.
