and hurried at once to their homes. There
were a number of excited women and chill
cren in the crowd seeking information Of
friends or relatives in the building, but 1t
is thought that no further casualty will be
reported. Notwithstanding the danger from
the falling walls, there were no serious ac-
cidents among the firemen, although one
was struck by a falling brick and badly cut
about the head.
A Store ON 5th Street Ignitcd.
Shortly after the fire started a spark ig-
nited the awning IN front CT the store of
Hugo Worch & Co., dealers in music and
pianos. at 924 It'll street. Considerable ex-
element ensued in the large crowd and
among the occupants Of the neighboring
buildings. A fireman dashed through the
mass of people assembled and informed
Chief Paris of the side issue. The latter
sent the chemical engine to the 9TH street
cOnflagration. The blaze was extinguished
without difficulty, and tn, only damage
that resulted was the loss of the awning
\ portion of the woodwork over the large
show windows was slightly scorched.
One Body Taken Ont.
At 3:15 the charred body of one man was
taken from the ruins of the fire, but his
name could not be learned. The remains
were taken to the morgue for Identification
How the Fire Started.
OF the many theories advanced as to the
origin of the fire the most plausible one
is that il started from a spark generated in
the picker n machine for tearing the ma
terial used in stuffing mattresses. 1t is
reasonably certain that the flames started
in the south front of the second story and
this Is where the picker was located.
No fire in any other part OF the
structure than in the furnace rooms in
the first story of the north front. 1t was
there also that the engines and boilers
used in the supply of power to the machin-
cry scattered throughout the several floors

REX OWNS THE TOWN.
Brilliant Displays Mt the California
Marde Gras.


Marde Gras.
San Francisco, April 1.-THE Mid
winter fair mardi gras began today
with brilliant display of eolors and a
gorgeous welcome to Rex Felix, who
sailed into the harbOr upon the ship
Argus. which was the big tug Fearless
disguised, as far as possible, that it
might resemble the vessel of the
ancient Argonauts. His majesty and
his cOurtierS made a tour of the bay.
and then headed for the foot of Market
street. where mounted police, the
signal corps of the second brigade. and
various naval and military organiza~
tons with Buck TaylOr's Wild West
aggregation and an immense crowd OF
people were awaiting them. The light
battery fired a salute of twenty-one
guns, and His Majesty landed amid
the cheers of the spectators.
A procession was formed, and Rex
Felix was placed in a Six-in-hand,
while his court followed in carriages
The procession wendell its way up
Market street, which was lined with
great crowds of people. At Van Ness
avenue, the procession was joined by
military from the presidio and escorted
to the fair grounds.
Inside the fair, the recreation grounds
were made the place of assembly. and
King Felix and his gay followers again
passed in review before thousands of
Spectators. They We're here received
in state by Governor Markham and
Mayor Ellert, the latter of whom
surrendered the keys of the city to the
merry invaders.
Tonight, fireworks are a feature OF
the celebration. The principal events
of the carnival are, however, yet to
come.

he aroused. From this point the sig
nails will be given for the beginning OF
the celebration. Along the route illu-
NINA tons and fireworks will light up
the road to Arlington, where Co-opera-
tors tavern was alarmed and fired, and
the Medford programme will be sub
stantially reproduced.
From Arlington to Lexington the
road is for the most part lonely and
there will probably be but little cele-
bration, but in Lexington an enthusiast
tic crowd will welcome the rider.
The ride will close at the old Han
cock house. where Bedford rode, and
a fitting ending to the scene of lis
years ago will be reproduced-the ehal-
lenge and caution of the sentry and the
rousing of the house. A young lady
of Lexington will enact the part Of
Dorothy Quincy, and there will prob
ably be a Hancock and an Adams
1t is understood Mr.. George A. Duey
will enact the role of Paul, as he is
without doubt the best horse rider
now living in the United States.

EDISON EVOLVES A
MONETARY SCHEME.
PROPOSES TO MAKE WHEAT THE
MONEY OF THE FUTURE.
PopuIists in Congress Are Fighting
Shy of the New Idea, However,
Evidently Afraid the Wizard Is
Poking Fun at Them-It Does
Seem Utopian.

Washington. April 17-Inventor Ed
ison has monetary scheme which
beats the fatists, the silverites and
the goldites all hollow Somebody has
been calling the attention of the treas
ury department to it. Mr. Edison pro-
poses to make wheat the money of the
future. He will compress it into
cakes of the right size and have it
made the right denomination by
weight There will no longer be a
question of wheat being depressed as
the ratio between gold and silver
varies. Wheat would be the medium
of exchange and therefore the true
measure of value. The volume of cur
rency would vary with the needs of
the world as the case might be. There
would be no chance for middlemen to
make profits out of the variations of
exchange and barter and sale would
be reduced to the first principles. The
great advantage which the wizard
claims for this scheme is that wheat
money could be eaten. 1t would not
happen, as was the case during last
summers panic, that people who
counted their wealth by the hundred
thousands would hardly be able to get
enough money to pay for a meal at the
restaurant. There could be no object
in people piling up their compressed
wheat cakes in the safety deposit
vaults, or rather the warehouses, for
fear of the failure of banks; and it
would not be impossible to get a loan
of a few thousand wheat stacks ex-
cept at exorbitant duties Inventor
Edison is said to have a new process
for COMPRISING the wheat without de-
stroying any of it's nutritiVe qualities,
and it's use as money would not inter-
fere with its usefulness as food. In
some parts of Scotland oatmeal cake
is good for nights lodging, but as
far as known this is the only attempt
practically to apply the Edison prin-
ciple to finance.
The Popul1sts in Congress are a little
shy of giving their endorsement to the
plan of wheat money until they have
made a thorough examination of it's
merits. They seem to think that In
ventor Edison is poking fun at them,
but it is asserted that he is not, for he
has elaborated this scheme with much
ma tience e

BERING SEA BILL.
The Qualifications Made Plense Our
Government.

Washington, April 1.-THE modifica-
tons which have been made in the
British Boring sea bill have robbed that
measure of the features which were
most obnoxious to our government, and
it is believed here that if the act is
thoroughly administered there will be
little opportunity for pelagic sealing in
the closed zone.
AS it now stands. the result of the
Paris arbitration having been published
in the British ColumbiarN newspap ers
last fall, it would be a difficult task for
the owners and masters of the sealing
craft to convince an impartial Judge
that they were not aware of the pro-
visions of the award, and unless they
could establish such ignorance, their
vessels and cargoeS are no longer free
from forfeiture. The opportunities to
plead ignorance are expected to be very
few, as it is reported the customs Of
ficers at Victoria notified all of the seal
ers clearing from that port since the
beginning of the year of the provisions
of the award and warned their masters
of the danger of seizure.

Washington, April 1.-THE House to-
day has, by an overwhelming vote, de-
cided TO adopt a quorum-counting rule,
which, for all practical purposes, is the
same as that which Speaker Reed, of
Maine, inaugurated during the Fifty
first Congress.
1t won for him a worldwide reputa-
ton. Neither excitement nor tumultu-
Gus scenes marked the crushing of the
old legislative barriers.
Mr.. Reed and the Republicans gener-
ally were in a happy humor over the
victory they had achieved.
Those who expected Mr.. Reed would
tackle and jibe his political adversar-
les with their own inconsistency, were
disappointed.
Only fifteen minutes on a side were
allowed for debate, and Mr. Reed con-
Sumed some of that with an arTaign-
ment of the Democrats, but good-na-
Iuredly distributed most of it to the
Democrats who desired to oppose the
new rule, and when his time was eX-
hausted he jocularly asked for more
time to dole out among his friends on
the other Side-MeSsrs. Bryan, Cum
mings, Wheeler, Kilgore and Russell
being the Democrats who were thus
gwen an opportunity to protest against
the adoption of the rule.
When the vote was taken, AZ Demo
Gratis voted against it, but it secured
every Republican vote and was carried
10y vote of 212 to a.
The Populists did not vote on the
proposition. The adoption of this rule
today, taken in conjunction with the
decision to enforce the old law of 1S4f
to dock the salaries of members alb
sent, save on account of sickness, will
it is thought, put an end forever tc
parliamentary obstruction.
After the adoption of the rule, ii
only required few minutes to
straighten out the parliamentary tan
gle which the House has been in for
some days, ard the House then quietly
proceeded with the consideration of the
consular and diplomatic bill.

MODERN PAUL REVERE.
How it Is Proposed to Honor the
Historical Rider.

Boston, April ia unique celebra-
ton of the new holiday april 19 has
been arranged by the towns of Med
ford, Arlington and Lexington, in the
shape of a reproduction of the ride of
Paul Revere. 1t will take place on
Wednesday night and will adhere as
closely to historical accuracy as shall
be consistent with pictures. A horse
man will ride from Medford to Lexing-
ton attired in the costume of a century
ago, and will do his best to arouse the
inmates of every house on the route.
masmuch as Medford was the first
place at which Revere really aroused
anyone, it has been deemed advisable
not to begin the ride from Charles
town.
This modern Paul Revere will there
fore start at point just outside of
Medford, and riding in, will carry the
alarm to the old Royal house, where
the people will be waiting all ready to

J to this time remained stumbling

block TO progress.
Then came the question of discharg-
ing the sergeant-at-arms from the
continuous order to arrest members,
adopted about a month ago.
Mr. Reed said a grave question OF
parliamentary procedure was involved,
and in order to have the law investi-
gated he submitted a resolution recit-
ing that the order of arrest was void
He asked that this be sent to the
Judiciary or rules committee in order
that a right of arrest might author1ta-
lively be demanded and careful pre-
cedent establishment.
The speaker ruled out the resolution
on the ground that the first business
was to discharge members now under
arrest before taking up general pr1ncl-
pies.
On the motion to discharge the ser
geant-at-arms, a yea and nay vote was
secured and this gave the first practi-
cal Illustration of the operation OF the
new rule.
The speaker appointed Mr.; Dockery
DemocraD and Mr.. Cogswell (Republ1-
cam as tellers to watch the count and
if necessary count the members pres
ent but not voting.
They took their places at the side
of the clerk, each keeping a sharp
tally of the vote. In order to force
the recording of members as present

provisions of the new rule, the Repub-
licans declined to vote on the first roll
call. At it's conclusion, Mr.. Livingston
4 DemocraO made the point of order
that under the new rule there was no
second call of the House, but in lieu
therefor list of names reported by
the tellers present but not voting,
should be called
The speaker, however, stated the
new rule did not contemplate any in
Iterference with the roll cali, and that
the roll call under rules of the House
Included a second roll call of those who
had failed to respond on the first
call.
The Case Proceeds.
He overruled the point of order and
the roll call proceeded. Finding that
a quorum had voted on the trst can,
the Republicans changed their tactics
on the second call and answered TO
their names. AS the result of the vote
showed that a quorum was present,
the tellers made no report.
