BARRED OUT OF A JAIL

Colorado Constable Arrested Captain Cox

COLORADO SPRINGS. June 27.-The
local authorities of Colorado Springs are
sorry they arrested Captain Blanche Cox
of the Salvation Army. She was arrested
for obstructing the streets and has become
white elephant. Such an uproar has
been made about the affair that the au-
thoIities are ashamed Of themselves and
angry at her for refusing to let anyone
pay her fine and insisting on going to
Jail to serve it out. Colorado Springs is
sort of British colony, and its EN- bar
rassment over the affair is all the more
amusing on that account. The magis-
trate and attorney were nonplused. Miss
Cox stated that sho was ready to go to
Jail. and that made it all the more en-
barrassing. Finally happy thought
struck the magistrate that shs should be
given five days time in which to perfect
an appeal.
But won't appeal" said Miss Cox.
"Well, you've got five days time in
which to think it over" snapped out the
prosecuting attorney, and the court
lawyer glared at the 0 stinate little wo-
man. So Miss Cox had to give up going

NOT A GAMBLING GAME
Poker Is Legalized by the State
Supreme Court
JUSTICE BEATTY'S OPINION
Innocent as Chess in Spite of Objection

The Eyes Of the Law Look Lenieutiy Upon
a National Game That Church
People frown Upon
Associated Press Special Wire.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Chief
Justice Beatty of the supreme court has
decided that in the eyes of the law poker
is not gam bling game. This decision
was brought forth by the application of
Julius Meyer for writ of habeas corpus.
Meyer. who was juror in the case
wherein william Paulsell was tried for
robbng faro bank. was held for per-
jury, because while being examined as
a Juror he replied when asked if he
knew the proprietors of the faro bank
taht he had nothing to do with such
places. After the trial it was found that
Meyer fIequented poker games and was
employed to encourage custom by play
ing in game when times were dull.
Acting on this information. the. district
attorney had him arrested for perjury,
and he was held for trial by Judge Muir
ply. The justice in his decision today
says:
Poker playing for money, however
Objectionable in fact is in the eyes of the
law is innocent as chess or any game
played for recreation, and its votaries
and the places where it is played are not
criminal. There is no Inconsistency,
therefore, between the declaration of
petitioner that he had nothing to do
with such places as faro bank anu the
fact that he did frequent club rooms
where poker was played for money. And
since there is neither evidence nor ac :
cuation of any other false statement made
by him, it follows that he cannot be held
for perjury and m Lst be discharged from

African prince, a dozen people. mostly
from this city, left last night on a journey
of H. 900 miles to Central Africa. Their
mission. they say, is partly to convert

collect diamonds for themselves. The
leader and backbone of the enterprise is
the Rev. Alexander G. Scott (colored), a
Methodist minister Of Fair View, Mich.
but the originator of the trip is Commo-
dore Bongee. Bongee claims to be a son
of the king OF Bongee, i'll the Congo coun-
try. Six years ago he came to this coun-
try. At tnat time he was enable to speak
a word of any language but his native
tongue, but now, after course OF stud
les. he is able to speak English and Ger
man f1uently. When lie came here he had
pocketful of diamonds, and he says
there are more where he came from. The
party seem to be well supplied with
money. They also carry with them a
case OF rifles, large lot of six-shooters
and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
They went from here to Montreal, from

LONDON, June 27.-Lord Salisbury
said the time had not yet arrived for a
declaration of policy to be made In behalf
of the Conservative party. The latter. he
added. only had one policy at present,
and that was to dissolve parliament as
soon as possible.
Lord Roscbery expressed surprise at the
government declining to disclose its pol
icy. Continuing, the ex-premier asked
for an explanation of the Marquis OF
Sallsbury's strange proceedings in send
ing Mr.. Campbell Bannerman, the secre-
tary of state for war on Tuesday morn
ing for the seals Of the latter's office.
The Marquis of Salisbury said the Rose
berry statement was incorrect He ex-
planned that after Fridays vote in the
house of commons he, the Marquis cf
Salisbury, thought it desirable to ap
point new minister of war forthwith,
and therefore he sent to Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman to ask him if it was conven-
lent for him to deliver his official seals
TO the sovereign earlier than the other
ministers, and if he did not desire to go
to Windsor himself, he could deliver
them to the private secretary OF the Mar
quis of Salisbury.
The Earl of Kimberly, late secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, asserted tns
Marquis of Salisbury had sent his secre-
tary to Mr.. Campbell Bannerman for the
seals just as he would send footman on
an errand and thought the action of the
marquis was extremely dscourteous.
In reply the Marquis of Salisbury said
il Mr.. Cam pbell- -Bannerman thonghr he,
the Marquis of Salisbury, had acted dis
courteously, he begged to express his ex-
trenle regret for the occurrence and felt
very sorry for it.
Lord Rusebery accepted the apology from
the marquis on behalf of the secretary of
state for war and the house adjourned.

THE WIDE SWATH OF A FIRE

house headed off a further advance at
Freelon street.
1t was the worst fire in years and one
of the most stubborn the firemen have
tried to handle IN years. They fought
the encroaching tongues OF fame IN one
place only to see them shoot up in an
other. The dry wooden buildings were
like SO much tinder, and tall, three
story frames were snapped up in an in
stant. But one brick structure stood in
the path of the devouring element and
that was St. Rose church and Brannan
street. near Fourth. The church was
partly completed but was destroyed
along with the rectory and school house.
Several hotels, lodging houses and a
hundred or so hum BILE homes were swept
out of existence during the hours the ire
ragged.
The entire burned district was indis-
Grimm ately built up with barns box fac
tories and small dwellings, with lumber
yards bestowed at intervals. 1t was the
piles of lumber that baffled the efforts OF
the firemen, who had to battle from the
rear. The flames would catch in loosely
slowed pile of boards, and the wind

draught which nothing could check. In
this manner the fire spread over such a
large area that the department was COM
PEELED to divide its forces, with less re-
suits.
-Four alarms were sounded, the first
being turned IN at $40 o'clock. So
quickly did the fire spread that the othsl
alarms followed in rapid succession. The
whole department was soon on hand
with the police endeavoring to keep
order. 1t seemed as if the entire city was
attracted by the wholesale destruction
going on south of Market street. Men,
women and children swarmed into the
streets to windward and kept the police
busy trying to preserve order. The
thieves who rely on the helpless in such
times of dire distress were out in force,
and when the housholders began to flee
with their property the thieves reaped a
rich harvest. Many little heaps of poor
household effects not worth stealing were
moved twice and even thrice by distrac-
ted owners and then left to the hungIy
flames.

Yesterday
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 27.-The
most disastrous fire which ever visited
Minneapolis accomplished Its work of de-
struction and death tonight. Within an
hour after the alarm rang in at II o'clock
six fremen paid the penalty of death for
their faithfulness in trying to save the
property of othera. The dead are
Joseph Hay, Walter Richardson, Frank
Rulaine, John Horner, Bert Thomas.
Unidentified man, new member of En-
gine company No. Ia.
Several others were ser rously injured,
and it is thought there may pe still more
dead who have not yet been extIicated
from under the ruins of the walls which
fell in and crushed them. The seriously
injured are: Ed Th elen, Captain Cald-
well.
The property loss consisted of the entire
demolition of the building occupied by
Nc Dona Id Bros, dealers in crockery, tin
ware, glassware, silverware and gas fix
lures.
The building was of four stories, brick
walls and wooden interior frame work
and was well stocked. The fire origi-
mated In the boxes and packing stored
in the rear of the building, ana was be-
yond the power of the fire department to
control. At a few minutes before mid
night the walls fell, one side wall falling
in and the other falling out in the alley
where the fremen we're at work. The
total loss Will aggregate over Sl00, 600; in
suraHCe unknown.

made homeless, besides losing all their
possessions. Another hundred or more
of small manufacturing establishments,
such as box and furniture factories,
machine shops, etc, have been destroyed.
Three big wineries, containing millions
of gallons of wine. wool warehouses;
freight warehouses, railroad yards, docks,
lumber and coal yards had narrow es-
capes.
Only one fatality has been reported.
Miss Gilroy was covered with burning
oil and perished.
During the first two hours of the fire
there was not much excitement in the
city, but when it grew dark and the sky
became a mass uf flame, the people from
all parts of the city rushed to the scene.
The police could do nothing with the mob
that swept through fire lines and the on
ly impression made on the crowd was
when fire engine would come tearing
along the street. The mass of humanity
would stop fighting and struggling to get
out OF the way Among the residents of
the fire district there was panic. Hun
dreds of families tr,d to save their prop
erty and in many Instances had to be
driven away from their homes by the
tiIemen.
Lachman & Co.'S wine cellar was fe-
lied upon to step the progress OF the fire,
and when it was seen that even that brick
structure was on fire, groan went up
from the crowd. The flames caught at one
corner of the buildlngh, and crept gradu-
ally along. The 1jemen deserted every
thing else and concentrated their efforts
on this one building. If that went moth
ing could save the railroad yards and
freight houses.
Finally the wind changed, and that
with the efforts of the tiremen saved the
wine cellars ana the worst of the ii ght
was over.
Great annoyance was experienced from
the trolley cars. The intense heat warped
the iron posts and the live wires were
dropped to the ground. The firemen were
afraid to go near them, and the crowd
gave them wide berth. Finally the cur
rent was turned off at the powerhouse,
and the danger from that source was
past. Following is a partial list Of the
lDsses Belmont hotel, $1,000; Belmont
Boiler works, $1,000; Pacific Iron works,
$500; SaN Juan Lumber company, $l5,-

JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC
The Carrying Trade Being Usurped by the
Brown Nen

Inc Carrying Ifaue being ObuTpeu Dy inc
Brown rlen
NEW YORK, June 27.-The Sun says
editorlally The rapid rate at which Eng
land is increasing her merchant marine
on the Pacific ought to put Japan upon
her mettle to secure to herself at least so
much of that carrying trade as IS fur
nshed by her own products. For this
competition Japan possesses, as we learn
from LIE Yacht, Paris, one distinct ad-
vantage. Steamships of 5000 to 1000 tons
are now laid down in that country under
contract at 81 for the registered ton below
the prices which English shlpyards can
afford to undertake then.
This difference is but equal to that be-
tween the cost of American ana English
built ships, which has been found sutfi-
clent to exclude American competition.
1t ought to prove not less efficient in fore
ing out English built ships from Japan s
own trade.
A japanese line laid on between her
ports and those of our own Pacific coast
would receive a sympathetic welcome
from Americans, always interested in
ventures OF plucky and enterprising
people.
If any ships OF our own were engaged
in the traffic a naturalSsense of self-inter-
est might interfere with this sentiment.
But at present the lines are either ope.
rated as well as owned py English com
panies or consist Of superseded English
liners from the Atlantic. These are char
tered and run by the American railways,
but the roads would luse nothing by re-
tring them, if indeed they should not
gain.
These Pacific steamship lines are under
stood not to De profitable except as feed
e:s. and the traffic they now bring would
silll be brought by supported japanese
sh ps: according to hypothesis. the cost
OF throu h transportation would even be
diminished. and thus this country would
be tne gamer.
In view of competition which must be
borne sooner or later between the United
States ana England for the ocean carrying
trace. the more the last named country
can be impeded IN covering all thu seas
with its lines during the interval, the bet
ter opening there is left. Since this
county is moi just now in position to
undl rtake the recovery of the seas, il
ought then to b. well content to see
Japan volunteer in the necessary work Of
excluding ENGLAND from some part of
them. Better then let Japa reap part
OF the profits o, doing our sea carry ny
