SALINAS, Jan. 1.-THE eleventh an
nual trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trial
Club will commence near here tomorrow
morning and continue during the week.
The Pacific Coast Field Trial Club was
organized in Sacramento in 1888, and for
several season held its trials at Walltown
Timber, in the southeastern portion of
that county. AS the club grew in MEM
bership more extensive grounds were re-
quired, and the trials have since been
held i'll Marin. Tulare and Kern Counties.
Birds were found to be getting scarce in
the latter county last season, and it was
decided to try the quail grounds i'll Mon
terey. The club, through the aid of the
Salinas Gun Club, secured the privilege
of using David Jacks 10000 acres. stretch
ing from the Salinas River down to the
shore OF Monterey Bay. The ground has
been patrolled for several months and no
uuals allowed to be killed thereon, hence
good sport is expected.
The dog-trainers have all been here for
several weeks TO get the dogs acciimated,
and quite number OF club members
came yesterday and to-day. Three stakes
will be run for Derby members and all
ages. The Derby had originally twenty
five entries, but, as usual, many wen9
wrong. Some of those now here have
met with accidents, hence the number OF
young dogs to start will be few.

Special to the RECo2D-UNIoN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE Pacific
Mail steamship City of Peking brought
details from Ningpo of one of the most
terrible fires on record, which occurred
in the big temple at that city on Decem-
Der Sth, and caused the death of nearly
800 women and children.
In the celebration of the usual festival
on the birthday of the founder of the
temple theatrical performance lasting
three days and nights was taking place in
the large temple, situated at the back of
the foreign houses. This temple is really
square in shape and has three entrances.
At the time of the fire the main entrance
and one other door were open; the. third
door was barred.
Both stories of the temple were monop-
ollzed by women and children to witness
the performance. The people were en-
joying themselves smoking, eating,
chatting aud drinking tea.
Among the crowd was boy who was
smoking a cigarette, which he threw
away in heap of straw at the foot of the
staircase leading to the upper story of the
temple. The straw quickly blaZed up,
people getting out.
There was a general rush to escape.
Some were trampled to death. others
jumped out OF the windows and were
either killed or so badly injured that they
were unable to escape the flames and so
perished, while others passively
awaited their fate, which was not long in
overtaking them, and they were roasted
alive or sutfocated by smoke.
At the south door the scene beggared
description. There the crush had been
the greatest. Men, women and children
were lying dead and blackened on top of
each other.
The scene the next morning was heart
rending and horrible. A great many of
the bodies were partially recovered and
the place was crowded with relatives
seeking the bodies of their lost ones.
Here and there were seen women weep
ing over a few bones. From among the
debris the coolies pulled out the dead
bodies of woman with baby clasped
to her breast which she had vainly tried
to save.
The latest returns say that $50 bo dies
had been recovered.

ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.
santa Fe WorRmen Ask for Back
Pay.

DENVER, Jan. IA. = A committee Of
Santa Fe Railroad employees from La
Junta, Col, has informed Governor Waite
that the engineers, conductors, brake
men, switchmen and trackmen on all
grades on the Western Division of the
road have received no salary since last
October, and many of the men and their
families are on the verge of starvation.
The wages for November and December,
they say, have been promised at different
times, but in every instance the pay failed
TO come. The last date set by the manage
ment at Topeka was January 10th. The
day passed, and no pay came. The men
have exhausted their credit with local
merchants, and as the railway company
has stopped supplying coal to its EN-
ployes, many families are suffering from
cold as we'll as hunger. Governor Waite
laid the matter before Judge Hallett to-
day. and the Judge decided to present. the
matter by letter to the receivers and re-
quest them to take immediate action. A
communication from Governor Waite
will accompany the letter OF Judge
Hallett.

MATTERS BEFORE CONGRESS.

The Real Work on the Tariff Bill VIII
Commence To-Day
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE real work
on the tariff bill will commence to-mor-
low, when the bill will be read by Sec
tons. and will be opened for amendment
under the five-minute rule. From now
on the bill will be in constant danger of
amendment, and the House Democratic
leaders have urged upon all their coll
leagues the absolute necessity of their
continual presence until a final vote is
taken.
Chairman Wilson said: SIT is of the
utmost Importance that every Democratic
member be present in the House from
this time until the passage of the tariff
bill. From this time forward, actual
voting on amendments will proceed from
day TO day. 1t will be necessary to main
tain a quorum, as the absence at any
time of a sufficient number for vote
might involve the loss OF day or two in
the consideration of the bill. What is of
more consequence is that amendments to
the bill be made while friends OF the
measure and majority of the House are
present to express their preferences, for
1t would be most unfortunate II amend
ments were made through the absence OF a
sufficient number of Democratic men,
bers to prevent them. For this reason it
is essential that the Democratic majority
should attend the sessions until the de-
bate closes. The committee amendments
necessary to correct imperfections dis
covered in the bill will have right of way.
The bill will first be read by sections un-
der the special order, and thereafter will
be open to amendment in any part"
The Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee had meeting this
afternoon to decide upon amendments TO
be offered. The decision of the Demo-
cratic members of committee to report
the income tax and other internal reve-
nue. features of the committees plan as
separate measure removes one OF the
main dangers to the bill, as the opposition
to the income tax feature was formidable.
The fact that the proposition Is not in
cluded in the bill will, it is thonght,
strengthen the attempt to remove the
sugar bounty, and substitute instead
duty of l cent on sugar. Should this be
done it would raise $50, 900, 900 revenue
and save $40, coo, 900 sugar bounty, and re-
move the necessity for and probably kill
the income tax proposition.
The great difficulty in the way OF the
modification OF the bill in this particular
is that the Republicans will not vote to
restore the duty on sugar, which was
placed on the free list by the Mckinley
law.
The most important committee work
the coming week VIII be that before the
WAYS and Means Committee, where the
internal revenue bill is still under con-
sideration. The unexpected change of

WEATHER NOTES.
Rain Extends Over the Whole of North
ern California.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE barom-
eter has a tendency to rise over South
western California, where tonight its
reading at Los Angeles is 1924 inches.
Due to this barometric gradient rain to-
day extended over the whole of Califor-
MIA north of $50 north latitude and gales
prevailed along the coast from San Fran
cisco northward. The rainfall was the
heaviest at Red Bluff and Roseburg,
where LOB and l.0l inches of rain respect
lively are reported. The present storm is
the most severe of the winter thus far.
ASHLAND (Or.), Jan. IA very heavy
and steady rain the past twenty-four
hours has raised all streams in Southern
Oregon higher than for four years past,
and several good-sized bridges within
the county have gone out already and
more may follow. A slide in the SiSki-
you Mountains about twelve miles south
of Ashland this morning delays all trains
on the Shasta division of the Southern
Pacific south-bound. The overland ar
irving this morning has been lying in the
yards here all day and the probability is
that the track will not be cleared for
trains tonight.

WESTON CIV. Va, Jan. 14.-Informa-
ton was received here this afternoon of
the apprehension of Calvert and Hennon
Fleming, two notorious outlaws, for
whom the State of Virginia offers re-
ward of 81, coo and the county $500. They
are charged with having committed five
different murders and several highway
robberies. The Fleming brothers have
been fugitives from justice long time
They successfully evaded the officers,
and made their way overland to Boggs,
in the mountains of West Virginia, and
believed themselves safe.
Saturday evening they stopped at the
store of John Boggs. The outlaws had
been traced to this neighborhood by four
officers from Virginia, who were seeking
their arrest. While the Flemings were
engaged in making purchases at the store
the officers came in and demanded an
immediate surrender, but the desperadoes
resisted arrest and opened fire. The shots
were returned by the officers, and fierce
conflict ensued. Calvert Fleming was
killed outright and his brother Hennon
mortally wounded, with three shots in
his left breast. He is still alive, but can
not recover. Two officers, John II.
Branham and "Doc' Swannell were seri-
ously wounded. The injuries of the
former are considered fatal, and Swan

The sum thus extorted from the people will exceed forty millions of dollars year; and every cent of it for the first two years will go into the pockets of the sugar trust, which is allowed, by the Cleveland Carlisle schedule, to import free of duty all the raw sugar it's agents can purchase abroad and ship to the United States before January l. It was not enough that the trust should have license to plunder the American people. It's shrewd managers saw in the magnifi- cent development of the beet sugar in- dustry the prospect of the speedy over- throw of their immensely profitable monopoly. They demanded 8 schedule which should crush that industry ut terlv. and their agents in the adminis- tration and the senate obeyed the com mand.

THE DOG IN THE MANAGER.

THE DOG IN TIE MANAGER.
 It transpires that other transporta- tion companies are at the bottom of the opposition to the Masten franchise, and this is the best argument why 1t should be passed. Cities are built up, not when one or two transportation companies have monopoly, but where they are numerous, reaching out in all directions from common center.
 The people of Phoenix have the kind Hest of feeling for the street railway system and for the new north and south road, and they have been granted all the right of way they asked and have had their franchises extended from time to time without opposition.
 It is due the people now that they shall not attempt to interfere with franchises asked for by other enter prises, the character of which is calcu- lated to still further increase the growth and prosperity of the city. Neither is it right that when Col. Masten proposes to build dummy line to Mesa within six months if right of way is granted him for the friends of the street car system to say you must connect with our line at the NJ. 6S P. depot, thereby making your customers pay double fare.
 There is too much of the dog in the manager business about the opposition to the dummy line. The opponents will not build and they don't want Col. Masten to build.
 Any attention given by the council to this kind of business is not for the best interest of the city; and the franchise should be granted regardless of what other transportation companies want. Right of way should be given to the first applicant, and we mistake the temper of the people if this is not VI hat they expect the council to do in the matter.
