LUNATIC ASYLUM FIRE.
SUFFERING MAY DEVEL-
0PE LATER.
Illinois State Buildings Are Des-
troyed With Heavy Loss
Particulars Are Meagre.

ANNA, Ills, Jan. 4.-Fire broke
out at l this morning, in the
room OF the central building of the
group of those great buildings Of
the insane asylum in this city, and
spread with great rapidity. At
2:30 a. m. the fire was beyond con-
troll and the loss was then over
100000. At $3.50 a. m. all the
three buildings were ablaze, the
central building being Quilted;
100000 is the estimated loss.
Help has been requested from
Cairo and Carbonate. There is
great excitement and it is impos-
sible to say whether all the in
mates were gotten out in safety.
At a. m. the north wing is in
great danger. In this building
are huddled the five hundred
gihbering lunatlcs who are with
great difficulty restrained from
breaking out.
The great main building and the
south wing are mass ofsmoulder-
lug luluS, uuU tlo hSdO IlOih CuS
debris is so great that it cannot be
approached.
A special train on the Illinois
Central, with three engines and
crews arrived from Cairo at 3 a. m.
and is now drenching the ruins
and endeavoring to save several
smaller buildings adjacent, which
are blazing furiously. 1t is sup
posed that all the unfortunate peo-
pie were removed in safety, though
nothing definite can be ascertained
until day light, and an accurate
roll call be made.
In the excitement attending the
transfer of the more violent man
iacs a number were badly bruised
by stumbling down stairways
their keepers being unable tC
maintain even a semblance of or
der among them None escaped
however, the keepers being rein
forced by volunteer special Off
GERS from the city.

Salvador Politics.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. A.. G..
Castellino, the newly appointed
minister from Salvador to Mexico,
is here en- route to the Mexican
capital. Castellino says the cleo
ton is to be held in Salvador
the second Sunday OF this month
and Gutierrez will be again chosed
president by unanimous vote, they
being satisfied with his admins
tration. Castellino discredits the
statement that Ezeta Will return
to Salvador, start revolution and
establish himself at the head of
the government. He says Ezeta
could not provoke a revolution if
he tried. 1t is understood Cutter
rez, if elected, will resign within a
year in favor of the vice-president,
chosen at the same time.

Populist Losses N Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 1.-The in
terest in the county elections
throughout Georgia was slight
and the returns are coming in
slowly. The result in the state
shows heavy democratic gains in
all counties. Many counties which
were strongly Populistic in the
last two elections returned to the
Democratic column. Gwynnat,
Barlow, Douglas, Polk, Merri-
wether, Cambell and Gordon have
all come back into the Democratic
ranks. The following counties, as
was expected, elected Populist Off
GERS: Cherokee, Chatahoochie,
Early, Taliaferro, Taylor and Nc
Dutfie, Tom Watson's home. Some
Of the counties were so close that
mixed tickets were elected, among
which were HARRISON and Wash
ington. Emanuel elected Demo-
cratic ticket with the exception of
sheriff.

To Hypnotize a Murderer.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. Herbert
S. Flint, hypnotist, mas received a
letter from r. r. Odell, Of Mime
apolis, attorney for Claus 7. Blixt,
the self.confessed murderer of Miss
Catharine Cling, asking for a con-
ference. "It is the probable theory
OF the defense" said Flint, "that l
can so influence Blixt by hOpnotiz-
ing him that the condition Of hys-
terra in which he has been since
his confession will subside and
many of the details of Harry Hay
wards alleged participation in the
murder will be brought to light"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Japanese
authorities here have not received
any information concerning the re-
ported extreme suffering Of the
Japanese soldiers from the cold in
China. Chancellor Makagama, Of
the legation, states that it was
fully understood that the vigorous
climate in Manchuria would prove
hard on the soldiers coming from
the south of Japan. Soldiers from
the northern islands are accus-
toned to snow and ice in winter.
The first army corps in Mohchuria
is made up OF mixed regiments
from the north and south. Naka-
yam says, however, that full pre-
cautions have been taken against
the cold and the army is provided
with ample supplies Of woolens,
goat skins, etc.
Moreover it has captured so
many towns that it has shelter in
pagodas, temples, ETC., so that few
soldiers will be left exposed in tents.

IT rs a year ago this month that
there was a bit Of a KODa storm
one afternoon. The MaripOsa was
smiling with the DAILY theatrical
company aud there was large
crowd at the Oceanic wharf. The
storm came right over the reel
from the South and looked like a
curtain Of water. The wind was
quite heavy one and the rain was
more than copious. The departure
Of the steamer was delayed several
hours. TO those who had never
seen a Kona before the storm was
a grand and impressive sight It
was better for a thrilling scene
than a prairie blizzard and that is
saying a good deal. Still, the
Kona Of November, 1894, was but
q sample. The old time visitors
drove vessels from their moorings
in the harbOr against the wharyes
uIrooied houses and made the
streets nayigable for good-sized
boats. One Of our kamaainas tells
Of a Kona that lasted three months.
