DID SIMS KILL THE HORSE.
CT Ok cr's Jockey Likely to Get In Hot
Water.

CT Okcr's Jockey Likely to Get In Hot
Water.
LONDON, June 2S.-Mr. Richard Croker's
colored jockey, Willie Sims. is likely to
find himself in the hottest of hot water.
In a cable to the Associated Press on Sat
urday last Sims wagered he would drive
trotter from Newmarket to Cambridge and
return within an hour, a total distance of
about twenty-six miles. When nearing
Newmarket on the return trip the horse
dropped dead, and 1t is probable that Sims
will be arrested and most severely punish
ed a result of an investigation into the
affair, which .he officers of the Royal So
cety for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails began today.
A special officer was dispatched to in
vestigate the affair, and If the story of
for the Jockeys arrest will be issued The
officer has also been instructed to find out
If the companion of Sims in his drive was
Mr.. Croker himself The action of the r.
S. P. c. A. was due to Jerome X. Jerome
and Mr.. Labouchere. The latter says in
Truth:
After reading an account of the per-
formance 1 expected to announce that Sims
had brought an action for libel or had been
fined the heaviest penalty for such diaboli
cal conduct. No punishment is too bad
for a man who would fog a horse to death,
and 1 would cheerfully see Sims fogged
along the high road and made to run until
he dropped dead"
Mr.. Laboucheres article concludes with
calling upon the r. S. P. c. A. to thorough
ly investigate the matter.
Mr.. Jerome, in a newspaper today, writes
that he had sent the details of the affair
to the R. S. P. c. A, adding: "Sims is a
half-cast VINO has come to England for
pure gambling speculation. He is employ
ed by Messrs Croker and Dwyer, concern
ing whom it is sufficient to remark that
Mr.. Croker was once prominently con-
nected with that gang of rascality, Tam
many Hail."
Mr.. Croker was not in London today but
the representative of the Associated Press
who was sent to interview him on the sub
stantially true, except that there was no
cruelty to the horse. 1t was added that
the horse belonged to Mr.. Croker, was
one OF the last batch to arrive from Lych-
field, and its death is attributed to lack of
condition and not to overdriving upon the
part of Sims.

About Million D0llnrs' Worth of
Property Destroyed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S-Something
like s1,0O0,000 Of property was destroyed by
fire In the lower part of this city last night.
Almost three entire blocks. covered with
dwellings, lumber yards and manufacturing
plants, went up in smoke, despite the ef-
forts Of the fremen to subdue the flames.
The fire started in Carrick Williams &
WrIght's box factory, on 5th street. be-
tween Bryant and Brannan. In three hours
the two blocks bounded by Bryant and
Bluxome. 4th and 9Th streets. were reduced
to piles of glowing embers. Then, to COM
plete the ruin. the fire jumped 4th street,
famed by stiff breeze, and licked up the
western half of two blocks divided by
Brannan, between Sd and 4th.
The water pressure was not sufficient for
the drain made upon 1t by the full compile
ment Of engines, and in some places the
fire was left to burn itself out. After de-
stroyfng nearly two complete blocks the
destruction continued across 4th street 1t
ravaged strip Of half a block in width
south to Townsend. To the east, midway
to Sd, progress was checked by the brick
wine vaults of s. Lachman, on Zoe street,
Mechanics Hotel and Chinese wash house
headed any further advance to Freelon
street. 1t was the worst fire in years. and
one OF the most stubborn.
Several hotels, lodging houses and a hun
dred or SO of humble homes We're swept
away. The entire burned district was in
discriminatory built up with barns box
factories and small dwellings, with lumber
yards bestowed at intervals.

But She is Not Looking for War
With Russia.
WILL NOT SUFFER ANY DICTATION
Hostilities Not Regarded as Immi-
nent.
COREA MUST BE LET ALONE

NEW YORK, June 2S.-"T really don't
think war between Japan and Russia is
imminent" said Mr.. Hashiguchi, the Jap
anese consul general at New York, in an
interview. However" continued Mr..
Hashiguchi, Japan will not be bullied. II
Russia attempts to interfere with the af-
fairs in Corea Japan will insist upon her
rights. We are just beginning to recover
from a rather exhausting war, and are in
no hurry to get into another quarrel but
l wish to say to you emphatically that
Japan is net afraid of Russia. / will go
SO far as to assure you that there are
Japanese-and they are not carried away
by enthusiasm-who would not be aston
ished to see a japanese army in St. Peters,
burg within the next two years.
Mr. Waeber, Russian minister to Corea,
is very clever man. 1 knew him quite in
timately. He is Russian. although his
name is German. He is over fifty years
old, and has been minister at Seoul more
than ten years. He was once Russian
consul at Yokohama.
His wife is a very brilliant woman, and
has close friendship with the Queen of
Corea. Her Influence on the Corean royal
family in favor of Russia is very strong
power over the king. The Waebers are
skillful and experienced diplomatists and
1 have no doubt they have been greatly in
fuential in bringing about the present situ-
alton.
You see. there is no limit to RussIa's
aggressive and grasping spirit. If Russia
could do us out of the fruits of our VIC
tory over China, by intrigue and threats,
there is no doubt she would be glad to do
SO. But Japan is not easily scared. We
know something about war. and we realize
that from strategic standpoint Russia
would find it difficult to make much head
way against u.s."

Superintendent DufIield of the coast and
geodetic survey today said that he was
very hopeful that the present year would
see the completion of the work of triangu-
lating the continent from ocean to ocean,
which has been under way for some time
past. The party engaged in this work left

son, and is now in Colorado. One result
Of the work will be to definitely estab-
lish distances. When it is DONE" said
General Duffield, I'VE shall know how far
it is from the Atlantic to the Pacific

The party which is engaged in determin-
ing the exact boundary line between the
United States and British territory in the
northwest is also in the field, and is ex-
pected to be able to report material pro-
gress at the close of the season. The geo.
detic leveling party has already during
the present season carried its work from
Richmond to Washington, and in July will
push the line through Kansas.
There is at present a party completing
the survey of Boston harbor and in July
two parties to be sent to New York
for the purpose of completing the retri-
ers will be sent Aut to redetermine the

A DISHONEST MESSENGER
State Department Employe Proves Un.
worthy Of Trust.
1t is Not known How Short His Ac-
counts Are-Took Other Lads
on Excursions.

For some time past the head of the pass
port bureau of the State Department has
been mystified by receiving demands from
persons in various towns and cities for a
prompt reply to their applications for pass
ports or the return of the money which
they had sent to the department. In each
case investigation failed to show that any
such applications had been RECEIVED.
1t was apparent that stealing was going
OIL somewhere, and after close watching
sus picion settled upon boy named Kirk
McMurtrie, a messenger. whose duty 1t
was to get the mail from the mail clerk
and carry it to the passport bureau.
1t was found that he had been indulg-
iIg in lavish expenditures, taking other
boys on excursions down the river and
ger orally showing that he had much money
to spend.
The amount of money lost is not yet
known, but it is certain to run well up into
the hundreds of dollars from the number
of complaints that have been received, and
it is said that on one day, last Saturday,
eighteen letters, each inclosing a dollar
for a passport, were abstracted from the
mail McMurtrie has been discharged.

War Stories Not Reliable.

Mr.. Durham White Stevens, in charge of
the japanese legation during the absence of
Mir lister Kurino. says that the reports of
war between Russia and Japan are merely
the revival of the vague speculation current
some time ago, and that all the informa ton
reaching the legation indicates that the
entente cordial between the countries has
been restored. The Russian fleet was with
dl avn from Japanese waters after the set
tlement was made as to the Lao Tung pen
insula, since which time there has been no
rev evidence Of friction. Mr.. Stevens says
also, that as the war story comes from
Shanghai, it is not to be relied on, as the
Chinese at that point have no means of
knowing the relations existing between
Japan and Russia"

GUARDED THE ALDERMEN.
Nearly All the Denver Policemen
Were Needed.

fOI1ecmem
Were Needed.
DENVER, Col. June 28-Almost the en-
tire police force Of Denver were employed
last night in guarding the houses of eight
aldermen, who feared violence from their
constituents
A bill for an ordinance granting a reduc-
ton OF only 10 per cent on the schedule of
water rates now in force passed the alder
men by vote of eight to six. and this
aroused the anger of the people, who at
tended the council meetings in force.
The measure which created so much In
dignation has a clause which makes the
rates thus fixed a burden on people over
fifteen years of age. Besides II is claim
ed that the reduction OF Is per cent is not
half what the public is entitled to under
the company's contract, which calls for a
reduction this year to the average of the
rates charged in Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati.
Although feeling runs very high and
much harsh talk is heard, no overt acts
against the aldermen have as yet been
committed.

STATE DEPARTMENT CHANGES.
Some Promotions Will Be Made-One
81, 500 Clerk DrOppcd.

The appropriations for the State Depart
ment for the fiscal year beginning on the
LIST proximo call for the dropping from the
roll of two clerks of class $500. 1t will not
be necessary to removs any clerks of that
class, however. for the reason that two va
cancies have occurred in the higher grade
permitting promotions to be made along
the line. Mr.. George I. Scarborough, an
$l.S0o clerk IN the library, has been drop
ped, and general, promotions will result
Mr.. Hubbard 7. Smith has resigned his
Sl,200 clerkship to accept an appointment
as consular clerk. 1t IS expected that the
promotions resulting from these vacancies
will be announced tomorrow. Surprise is
expressed at the retirement of Mr. Scar
borough. He entered the department as a
800 clerk in 1871, and was promoted
through the different grades to the 81 500
class, which he reached in 1883, and has
held ever since.

ADMIRAL BEARDSLEE,

Admiral Beardslee, commanding the Pa
cific station, who has just returned to San
Francisco, was a commodore when he
went abroad and was promoted to his
present grade during his stay at Honolulu
He will probably remain in San Francisco
while his flagship is undergoing necessary
repairs, but it is possible that he may
visit Washington to confer with the Sec
retary of the Navy in regard to the state
of affairs in the Hawaiian republic A
board of survey will be appointed to deter
mine the extent of the repairs to the Phil
adelphia. The historic flagship Hartford is
now in dry dock at Mare Island, and it
will probably take month to complete
her repairs and alterations. 1t is proposed
to give her new engines and battery, and
to make her the finest ship of her class in
the navy. The Philadelphia cannot be
docked until the work on the Hartford is
finished. 1t Is said at the Navy Depart
ment that a new dock is urgently needed
at this yard for the cleaning and repairing
of the large vessels of the new navy rap
idly approaching completion.

The Census Bureau Vacnting the In
ter-Ocean Building.
BY this time tomorrow all that was of
the big census office in the huge Inter-Ocean
buildings will have disappeared from its
once busy precincts, and nothing but
shadows and memories of what has
been will remain. Where two or
three years ago hundreds upon hun
dreds of marvelously pretty girls
thronged and swarmed about the sidewalks
and stairways today three or four not very
prepossessing colored men were tugStng
and sweating over the huge cases that
lad to be let down from their Empyrean
abode to the solid earth below. The dusty
air that once rippled with the merry laugh
ter of youth and jollity ,shuddered often
and again with the explosive profanity
essential to work of that sort Within the
last office occupied, far up on the fourth
floor, sat a single spare young clerk, clad
in thin summer suit and a long, sad
smile. Over in the distant and dirty corner
of the room were three young lady clerks,
the last survivors Of the once countless and
"t'S,ro.e At one time of the Census office counted
1900 clerks. and it Is unnecessary to say
that it then did a large business. In the
Inter-Ocean building alone there were l.300
clerks. and the ten stories were haven OF
refuge for hundreds ef people who were
thrown out of employment in the other bu-
reaus of the government. Besides this big
building, which was erected expressly for
the census bureau, the force occupied the
Harrison fats, two floors Of the Lincoln
Bank building, three floors of the Atlantic
building, now occupied by the Indian bu-
reau; one floor in the Builders Exchange,
the old church building across, from the
Inter Ocean building, two floors of the large
stable building on New. York avenue near
7th street, and a big mill building ON North
Capitol street. All this immense amount of
room was no more than was necessary for
the work of the large force employed. Now
but three of hose buildings are retained
the space in the Builders Exchange, the
stable On New York avenue and the old
church building on 9th street. In addition
to these rooms, Marini's old dancing hall
is used for storage.

waters for the enforcement of neutrality
laws. She will proceed direct to Key West,
but will probably not remain at that port
more than a day or two. The cruiser Ra-
leigh, which is also looking out for fllibus-
