DISASTROUS FIRE.
1t Burns the New Folsom Street
Wharf and Also a Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-A very
disastrous fire occurred nthe water
front between 3 and i o'clock this af-
ternoon. While laying block pave
ment upon the new Folsom street
wharf, occupied by the Oceanic Steam
ship Company, and recently construct
ed at cost of $4,000, some workmen
upset a pot Of boiling tar and in
few minutes the whole wharf was in
flames.
A general alarm was rung in and the
entire Fire Department responded, but
owing to d stiff breez which was blow
ing off the bay little could be done to
eXtinguish the flames. Fortunately very
few ships were moored at the wharf,
but as it was the American ship Com
modore was considerably damaged be-
fore she could be lowered into the bay
and the flames which caught her bows
eXtinguished.
The little schooner Kate Mack burned
to the waters edge before a tug could
be summoned and was a total loss.
The damage will reach fully $4,000,
of which $4,000 will fall upon the
State for whayes and $4,000 on the

DR.. Goddard, who has been in iail

indictment for murder in the first de-

largely through the testimony of the
dead mans children by a former wife.

their foster mother and DR.. Goddard as
against those who are behind the pros

Goddard came to their apartments on

WASHINGTON, June 29-The re-
port prepared by Senator Hoar in the
case of H. w. Corbett, claiming a
seat from Oregon by appointment by
the Governor, has been printed for
the use of the committee. After re-
viewing the situation in Oregon, the
report continues:
TT is clear, whatever may have been
the nature of the Oregon Legislature,
that it had been dispersed and come
to an end before March l, 1897, when
the vacancy in the office of Senator
came by limit of the term to which
Mr.. Mitchell had been chosen and
which he had held for six years. Any
choice or appointment made after that
time must be choice or appointment
for less than six years.
TT is well settled by a practice which
has existed from the formation of the
movement, that the vacancies so oc-
curing after the beginning of a con-
stitutional term may be filled by the
Legislature. If that be true they may
be filled by the State during the re-
cess of the Legislature. The Legisla-
ture is only authorized by the Consti-
tuition to fill such vacancies as
might be filled by the Executive by
temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the Legislature So if the
Executive have no power the Legisla-
ture has no power. The Executive may
lawfully make temporary appoint
ment and the Legislature fill that va
cancy when it assemblies, or the office
must remain vacant for the rest of the
six years
1T has been said that a vacancy does
not happen when it occurs by reason
of the expiration of a certain term, or
when the office has never been filled,
but the report holds that this posi-
ton is not well taken and says:
When the term of a Representative
expires and the people have failed to
elect successor before hand, which
occurred very often when a majority
was required for an election, the Exec
ton to such vacancy as occurs"
We think, concludes the report, that
the Governor of Oregon was entitled to
make the appointment and that Mr..
Corbett is entitled to the seat.

paint for murder, but when this will be

TACOMA, June 29.-The Union Saw
fngs Bank and Trust Company closed
its doors this morning and several
hours later went into the hands of a
receiver as a direct result of the re-
cent Supreme Court decision deciding
a large amount of city warrants to be
illegal.
Judge Williamson appointed Attorney
Charles Richardson to take charge of
the assets Of the concern.
The bank was organized in February,
1891, with the late General J. Sprague
as President. Chester Thorne is Vice
President and A B. Nicol, Cashier, the
latter having been the active manager
of the bank since it began business. The
capital stock is 100000 The local
deposits are small, the bank having
been engaged chiefly in the purchase of
securities of cities, counties, towns and
school districts through the North
west. 1t owns $155,000 of Tacoma
general fund warrants and $4,000 of
city hall funds warrants, the validity
of which is thrown into question by
the Supreme Court decision handed
down Friday.
These warrants were purchased at
par for cash through City Treasurer
George Boggs, who took the banks
money, paid city employees to whom the
warrants were issued, stamped the
warrants not paid for lack of funds
and turned them over to the bank. This
method was used in order to get the
warrants in blocks of $4,000 each,
though the bank might have purchased
them direct from the city's employees
and IN that event have avoided the
complications now arising The Su-
preme Court decided that Treasurer
BOggs having once paid the warrants
they passed into the banks possession
as re-issued and invalid warrants. The
bank will now ask for a rehearing in
the Supreme Court and will also sue
the city for moneys had and received.
1t owns securities issued by over twen-
ty cities nor counties in Washington
and with the exception of these war
rants has had no trouble regarding
them.
In view Of the Supreme Courts de-
cision, a receivership was considered
advisable to protect all interests. Cash
ier Nicol says taht every depositor will
be paid in full when the warrants are
relied upon as he has no doubt they
will be eventually and that the stock
holders should receive the full value Of
their stock. No statement of assets
and liabilities has been made.
