surgents TO the effect that he was sus-
pected OF being In sympathy with the
Spaniards. and that unless he forthwith
made a heavy contribution TO the treas
ury of the insurgents his property wouFl
be burned.
He Immediately gathered hts stock OF
manufactured cigars and such other pro-
perty as he could collect and dumped all
his belongings on board the CulmOre,
taking passage I'm the same vessel for the
United States.--New York Herald.

tion of time was taken up i'm the further
debate on the Homestead section.
Senator Tillman near the end Of the

representatives were not in attendance
upon the convention.
These men were all drawing their pay
from the State and were doing nothing

BIG BLAZE OF TOBACCO.

SIO,OO0--A New Concern.

Fire broke out about o'clock this
morning IN the tobacco stemmery OF
Griffith, Mayo q Co.. at No. 2s25 east Man.
known as Lester street, and at i:2o an
alarm was turned in from Box %, which
quickly brought out engines |. 2. and
and truck No 2.
The building now Ised as a stemmery
was once occupied rs a furniture factory
by the J. b. Welch Furniture Company,
and the fire started In the bo:lcr-shed.
In which about hundred and nifty tons
OF tobacco stems were stored
ssaoAD ALARM.
The flames quickly communicated To
the main building. large three-story
structure. and it burned 50 fL-
riously that the Chief turned In a second
alarm at 2.0i O'Clock. which brought out
engines and and truck No. /. Tho
fire was not gotten under control until
the shed and it's contents were con-
sumei and the main building completely
gutted.
The main business OF the concern Was
the manufacture of smoking-tobacco.
of which about two thousand dollars
worth was said to be on hand. and
which was a complete loss II was also
extensively engaged in grinding stems
for fertilizers. and large quantity OF
these were burned.
NEW CONCERN.
Griffith. Mayo and Company began busi-
ness about five months ago, and had not
gotten their plant In complete working
order. Most OF their machinery was
secondhand with the exception OF a
grinding apparatus IN the shed. Al, Of
II was badly damaged.
The building is the property OF Mr..
l.. l.. Strauss. and Is valued al Nioo.
The entire loss Will probably not ex-
ceed $1,000. The amount OF insurance
could not be learned. as none OF the
proprietors were on the grounds.
sHoRr OF w,TER.
Just before the engines called out by
the second alarm arrived. the supply Of
water gave out, and engines had TO
draw their supply from the dock.
The alarm was turned In from box -.
instead OF box Il. which was located
nearer the scene of the fire, on account
of the latter being out OF order.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The senate
entered upon its final session today with
the prospect of sitting continuously until
Monday noon. There was a rush of
private bills, as this was the last chance
of many eager claimants.
Mr.. Call (Dem., FIa.) presented the
following telegram from DR.. Moreno, at
Tampa, Fla:
Two American citizens, SanguelIy and
Aguirre, have been incarcerated in
Havana Enter a protest and have the
case investigated at once"
Mr.. Call asked that the committee on
foreign relations act promptly, and COM
municate with the state department with
view to American intervention. Final
action was taken confirming the confer
ence agreement on the fortification BILL
Mr.. German, in charge of the naval
appropriation bill, cut off the rush of
private bills by urging the need of speedy
consideration of this, the last of the great
appropriation bills. His plot prevailed,
and the naval bill was taken up.
The first item caused spirited debate
AS proposed by the committee the num-
ber of extra seamen to be enlisted by the
secretary of the navy in times of emer-
gency was reduced from 1000 to 1000.
Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts earnestly
opposed the reduction.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

Is the Price of Honesty in Elections
Central Committee Meeting.
It is rumored that an attempt will be
made tonight at the meeting of the city
central committee to knock out the rule
adopted at the last meeting for the use
of the Australian ballot in the city pri-
mary on March Is. It is said that
petition to that effect will be presented.
The committee will meet at 7:30 this
evening in the city building in the room
opposite the clerks Office.
1t seems that the professional politi-
clan is bound to show his hand. All who
are in favor of full and free vote, un-
trammeled by outside influence, are in
favor of the use of the Australian ballot,
and any attempt to reconsider
the action of the " committee
can be traced to the ringsters. When the
people voted on the use of the Australian
ballot at the primaries last summer. there
we're only 262 votes cast against the pro-
position in the whole county. Since the
people want the Australian ballot, why
can't the politicians let the matter alone?
The only objection urged against the
use of the Australian ballot is ''the ex-
pense," but this is only a subterfuge; for
the assessments agreed upon by the ex-
ecutive committee are as low as they
have ever been and enough funds will be
provided for all purposes.
The committee should rectify the mis-
take it made in voting to keep the polls
open only half day. Nothing should
be placed in the way of any one who de-
sires to vote at the primaries, and if it is
held only in the afternoon there are bus
ness men. clerks and workingmen who
may be deprived of a vote, because they
will not have time to vote.
