ENGLISH HAVE CONFIDENCE.
The London "ChroRicIc" Thinks VAL
kxric VIII Win the Cum.

kyric Will Win the Cup.
The London Chronicle has an editorial on
Valkyrie HIS chances and complains OF the
shortness of time to get her in trim. The
Chronicle, however, ventures to predict
that she will win the cup. Comparing the
two yachts, it goes on to say:
Both are built on identical lines, and the
result will depend upon the skill of the de-
sign, the fit out of the sails and the genius
of the helmsman, in each of which we con-
slider ourselves somewhat superior to the
Americans. MeSSrS. Watson, Henderson,
Lathrop and Cranfield are names to be
backed against the world.
I'm this race, moreover, a previous error
has been repaired Many critics are alarmed
to find Valkyrie III overcanvassed. This
was done with a set purpose to adapt her
to the lighter American winds. From all
accounts it does not seem that Defender is
superlatively excellent sailer. The En-
glish vessel never before had such a good
chance Of victory. If the cup comes back
it will stay here"

SlBLEY SPOKE A FEW WORDS
Unanimous Sentiment in Fovor OF Free
Coinage of the White
Metal Shown.

Denver, April 15.--An immense throng
tonight congregated at the Brown Pal
ace hotel to greet the two champions Of
silver, ex-Congressman ]. c. Sibley and
General A. ]. Warner ana to extend to
them a hearty welcome. The rotunda
of the hotel had been profusely decor
ated with flags and plants while over
the entrance where the guests of the
evening were standing had been draped
with American flags, joined at the top
by a Shield, made in imitation of the
silver dollar. The floor of the rotunda
was packed by eager people anxious to
do honor to the war-scarred veterans of
the silver cause At S:15 p. m. the First
regiment band announced the approach
of the guests. Their appearance was
greeted by a burst of applause.
Sibley was the first to respond to an
introduction, and while, as he said, it
was not an occasion for speech making,
still he could not refrain from saying
few words. He stopped himself, how
ever, before he had fairly entered into
the subject and invited all his hearers
to attend the great meeting to be held
tomorrow. General Warner followed
and in a few words thanked the audi
ence for the reception. and the enthusi-
asm displayed.
After the Introduction a line was
formed and the crowd filed by the two
gentlemen to shake hands. There was
such jam that a line could not be
maintained and the people blocked up
three and four deep For over two
hours the Handwriting was continued
and everybody received a pleasant
greeting from two of the foremost sill
yer statesmen in the country.

IT STARTED IN THE CUPOLA
All the Guests Escaped. but Their Per-
sonal Effects Were Destroyed
Losses Heavy

Los Angeles, April 1.-THE Hotel
Raymond at Pasadena, 10 miles from
Los Angeles. was totally destroyed by
fire at $3.50 this afternoon. Not a stick
of the famous resort is left. The hotel
was crowded with tourists, but they
all escaped with their lives, although
all other possessions were entirely con-
sumed. The cause OF the fire is not
known. ltS
The Raymond was one of the most
famous health resorts in the United
States. 1t was a very large structure,
built entirety or wood, and was located
on hill commanding a magnificent
view of the valley. In less than an
hour from the time the fire was first
discovered, in the cupola In the north
west corner of the building, the whole
wooden structure was level with the
ground, and the only thing left stand
ing to mark the spot was the tall brick
chimney of the furnace
The fire was discovered at 800 by a
boy on the outside, who saw a cloud
of smoke issuing from the windows of
the cupola on the fourth story. The
alarm was al once given. hut the flames
burst forth before a drop of water
could be brought, and the strong wind
which had been blowing all day carried
the flames at an alarming rate. There
was no nope for the building from the
start. There were about $50 guests in
the hotel, 100 of when were members
of the Car Accountants Association.
whose special train stood at the Ray
mOnd station. The guests acted in an
orderly manner and some succeeded in
! saving a few personal effects, though
most of them lost everything in the
building.
The Hotel Raymond was built in 1884
by Walter Raymond. of the Raymond
& Whitcomb Excursion Company,
which has hotels in Nebraska and Colo
RADIO also. The cost of the building was
almost $1,000 and the furniture cost
$4,000. The building and furniture
were insured for $4,000 in the New
York and San Francisco Company.
Colonel Wentworth, the manager of the
hotel, was in the office of the hotel when
the alarm was turned in. He cried like
a child as the flames from the huge
structure went skyward. There is a
mystery about the origin of the fire.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASE
One of the Most Noted Mining Contests
III the History of the Country.

One Of the Most Noted Mining Contests
in the History of the Country.
The case went before the supreme
court on writ of certiorari issued by
the supreme court against the United
States circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco John r. Mcbride of Spo-
kane appeared for the Tyler, and asso-
ciated with him were Senator Dolph of
Oregon and Arthur Brown of Salt Lake.
Counsel for the Last Chance are United
States Attorney General Olney, Charles
5. Voorhees,, attorney for the receiver
Of the First National bank, and w. Is.
Hepburn, attorney for the mining COM
pany. Mr.. Olney comes in by reason Of
the First National bank being one Of the
principal creditors Of the Last Chance
mine, the bank. by reason Of insolvency
being in charge Of the comptroller of
currency.
This is one of the most noted mining
cases in the history of the country.
The ground in dispute is worth $5OO,O0O:
there is also involved over 5000 600 worth
of ore taken out of the disputed area
by the Last Chance and claimed by the
Tyler The mines are at Wardner and
the litigation has been one of the eXcit-
ing features of the Idaho courts for sew
eral years The case was carried up to
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, where the Tyler people won. Then
the Last Chance people went before the
supreme court and asked for a writ Of
certiorari, and the petition was granted,
an action seldom taken by the supreme
court.
EFFECT ON THE BANKS.
1T will be impossible to tell the exact
extent of the victory" said Receiver f.
! Lewis Clarke of the First National
bank until the full text is received of
the supreme courts decision. We only
know now that the court at Washington
has reversed the judgments Of both low
er courts, and ordered a new trial. Con
sidering the law points that We're involv-
ed in this decision, l feel confident that
this new trial will result in permanent
victory for the Last Chance"
The decision means a great deal to the
depositors Of the First National bank
and the Spokane Savings bank. The
mine and its owners owed a great deal
to these banks. not far from a quarter OF
d million. A favorable decision would
give the banks big asset. and if things
should brighten up a little that asset
would probably enable them to pay theii
depositors in full.
In one sense, every person in Spokane
is financially interested in the decision
because the First National owed the
city and county of Spokane about $50,
000
At Wardner. where the sympathies OF
the people have always been largely in
favor of the Last Chance. the news was
received last evening with many mani
festations of pleasure.

SAYS ASSASSIN BOOTH is ALIVE
Christopher Ritter Claims That Lineoln's
slayer Was Not Killed.

Newark, O., April Is christopher Rit-
ter. who arrived from Germany in the
winter of 1861 and through j. Wilkes
Booths influence secured a position in
Ford's theater, tells the story OF Lin
coins assassination, claiming that Boston
Corbett shot Edward Fuchs, an actor re-
sembling Booth, but not President Lin
coins assassin.
Ritter is well educated and his character
is above reproach. He declared he as
sisted Booth to escape, and that they
sailed for Brazil May ], 1850. He soon left
Brazil, but met Booth by appointment in
Hamburg eleven years ago, and on that
occasion Booth gave him the pictures of
his children born to a South American
wife. These pictures, bearing a strong re-
semblance to Booth. are now in Ritter's
possession.
Ritter says he heard from Booth last
winter, and he was then on the South
American stage.
