FIRE BUGS WORK IN FLORIDA
HOTEL SAN MARCO BURNED TC
THE GROUND.
One of the Finest Hostleries In the
South-Fears of Further Incendi-
ariSm.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. IA special
from ST. Augustine to the Times Union
and Citizen says:
The Hotel San Marco. one of the fin
est and most commodious hotels in this
city. was burned to the ground this
morning, entailing a loss of about $780,
600, with less than $4,000 insurance.
1t was a few minutes past 3 o'clock
this morning when Jake Masters, from
the Ontagus residence. discovered fire
in the boiler room of the San Marco
hotel He Immediately fired a pistol
and notified Edward Mcbride, who has
charge of the property and who lives
in the hotel. An alarm was immediate
ly sounded. 1t was found that incen-
diaries had cut the fire bell rope and
steam whistles had to be resorted to.
Those who gathered at the first call
did not wait for the engines and hose,
but attached the hotel hose to the we'll
on the grounds and commenced the
fight. One engine reached the scene,
but its work was delayed, owing, pre-
sumably, to the firebugs having cut
holes in the suction pipes which supply
with water from the hydrant. and in
screwing up the couplings so tight that
time was lost in loosening them.
The flames spread from the woodshed
and boiler room to the kitchen, then
to the dining room and theatre. These
structures were four stories high and
to the west of, but connected with, the
main building, which was six stories
high, with towers in the center and on
each wing. Hundreds of men assisted
in removing the furniture from the
main floor, and a large quantity was
taken out, the main floor being almost
entirely bare before the fire drove the
workers away.
1t was not until the flames set fire
to the main building that the burning
structure presented its most awful yet
fascinating picture. The blaze not only
illuminated the entire city, but could
be seen for miles around. In a few
hours the structure was reduced to en-

The owner of the San Marco was

st. Paul, Nov. Judge w. H. San

that large deputation of the Orak-

Meanwhile the tribesmen cut the tele-
graph wires nightly, persistently harass
the expedition, fire at long range on

Fire a Whaling Vessel.
San Francisco, Nov. THE whaling
bark John N Winthrop, Captain Ma
comber. arrived today from Boring
sea. She reports a catch of seven
whales, which yielded 10000 pounds of
bone and 900 barrels of oil. Early in
July the Winthrop spoke the whaler
Gayhead and for the first time heard
of the Klondike gold discoveries. The
crew became greatly excited. and three
of the sailors, j. Il. Kruger o. w
Dignan and H. J. Jones, formed a
plan to destroy the vessel and make
their way to the Alaskan coast, with a
view of ultimately reaching the gold
fields. The men stole tar and turpen-
tine from the ships store, and, with
other infammab BILE material, started
fire in the fOrehold. Fortunately the
flames were extinguished before much
damage was done. The three conspir-
ators were at once placed in irons.
Digman made a written confession
stating that Kruger was the originator
of the plot and that he even desired
to blow up the bark with powder taken
from the whaling bombs. During the
rest of the voyage Kruger was kept in
close confinement, but Digman and
Jones were allowed partial freedom
The Winthrop brought no news of the
ice-bOund whaling fleet.

How to Make Moonlight Photographs

From Night Photography" by
James B. Darlington, in the November
Scribner's: Moonlight effects in photo
graphs have long been admired by the
uninitiated and fully appreciated by
both amateur and professional photo
sraphers for their beauty, and many
plates, too, have been spoiled by snap
shelters who have accepted moonlight
as the real illuminator of these views,
and accordingly focused directly on
this beautiful orb of night Moonlights
With the moon herself in evidence are
really sun photographs: that is, pic
lures taken with rapid exposure, the
camera pointed toward the sun, gener-
ally in the late afternoon or early in
the morning, and with clouds between
the lens and the direct rays.
Many charming so-called night pic
lures are taken by making two expos
ures, q short one in the rapidly dilnin-
ishing afternoon sunlight, to get an
impression of buildings and other dark
objects and another longer one after
dark. to print in the gas and electric
lights that line the long street or mark
out the roads and winding pathways of
a city park.

FED BY wax FLOWERS.
Large Fire In Louisville Begins In a
Millinery Shop.

Louisville, KY, Nov. IA fire of con-
siderable proportions broke out at mid
night tonight on Main street between
Sixth and Seventh. in the wholesale
business district. The flames originated
on the top floor of the four story stone
front building occupied by Bareford &
Lawson, wholesale millinery dealers,
and quickly spread to the four story
building on the west occupied by Ben
jamin S. Aller, wholesale dealer in
boots and shoes. The flames were fed
by a large quantity of wax used in
making wax flowers, and despite the
fact that tons of water were thrown
into both buildings continued to blaze
furiously for an hour. AT 1 o'clock the
fire was brought under control. The
stocks of the Mcintosh Millinery COM
pany, P c.. Cooker, millinery dealer,
and Louisville tin and stove building
adjoining were considerably damaged
by smoke and water. a conservative
estimate places the total loss at $150,000,
fully covered by insurance.

Rail VS.. Water Carriaee.

The recent order of the trans-1 Missouri
association reducing the freight rates
between Missouri river points and Denver
is causing considerable comment in local
railroad circles. 1t seems that for a long
time the water lines from New York via
Newport News, Galveston and New Or
leans. have had the advantage of It 3O-cent
companies. As long as the old steamship
service was in effect the all-rail people
filed no protest, but when the water lines
improved their service to such an extent
that the business was getting away from
the railways on the differential PROPOSE
ton. 1t became apparent that some radical
change would have to De made. Several
railway officials expressed themselves on
this subject yesterday. and all agreed
that the action of the trans-MissouTi as
ISOLATION would not bring abou1 the de-
sired result and might cause an expensive
and long drawn out rate war Of the first
magnitude.

ALL AMERICANS WIN.
Played All Around the Men From
Baltimore

San Francisco, Nov THE aggre-
cation of star baseball players from
the east made their first appearance in
California today at Recreation park,
and the All-Americans played all
around the men from Baltimore. The
day was an ideal one for baseball
balmy and without air stirring-and
the size of the crowd was only re-
stricted by the limit of the grounds

of humanity surrounded the entire
field, greatly interfering with the field
ing of the players and partly respon-
slble for the large score. The grounds,
too, We're very rough, having been
used for football when soft and slushy.
Dr. Pond, for the Baltimores, did not
prove much of puzzle for the nine
selected from the cream of the national
league. They batted him hard and
often. and after the sixth inning the
crowd set up a continuous howl for
Joe Corbett, but the latter did not re-
spond.
All the old California favorites
namely, Lange, Reitz, Clarke and
Nash, received a warm welcome from
the 1900 or more spectators. '.Bill''

tributes, the most attractive of which
was large shield of white roses with

Lange responded by lining out the first
