FIRE IN 4 TENEMENT.
Serious Result of an Early Morning
Blaze in New York
City.

New York. Jan. 2-Five men were
severely injured at fire which occurred
in cheap hotel on East Houston street.
One of the number was a policeman.
The others were dodgers. Following are
their names and the nature of their in
juries:
Sigmund Lssauer-Right arm and thigh
broken.
Adam Eber-Rib broken.
George White-Face and hands burned.
Frederick O'Brien = Face and hands
burned.
Patrolman Frederick Stahl-Face and
hands burned.
Stahl was the first to discover the fire
and after turning in an alarm, ran back
to the building and aroused its occupants.
There were IL persons in the building
at the time the fire started Two of
these were servants who were at work
in the kitchen and they were the first to
leave the building.
Eber and Lissauer tried to escape from
the rooms on the second floor by way
of the window. Eber in jumping to the
sidewalk broke one of his ribs. Lis
sauer missed his footing and fell to the
sidewalk, fracturing his right arm,
leg and thigh. The burns sustained by
Officer Stahl and O'Brien were in
CURED while they were aiding others out
oe he building,

PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Unique but Unenviable Position of a
Montana Team.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 1.-The
Butte football team suffered double dis
astcr yesterday. Owing to the presence
of two men i'll its ranks when lineup
was called whose amateur standing is
dplied by the Amateur Athletic asso-
citation of the Pacific coast, President
w. r. Humphrey classified all the play
ers as professionals. In their new ca
pacity they went down to inglorious de-
feat before the Olympic by a score Of
II TO >.
The action of President Humphreys is
il effect death-blow to the Montana
team should it prove decisive. There Is
no such thing thus far in sporting circles
as professional football team, so that
the northern men occupy very unique
position in the athletic world. Presi-
dent Humphreys also awarded the match
game to the OIympics by default amid
much confusion and the two teams lined
up in an exhibition game, which was
a bitter and brutal struggle. Butte being
outplayed from the beginning.
The Montana men will probably take
an appeal from President Humphreys
ruling to the boards Of governors of the
amateur athletic union.

0'MALLEY OUT ON BAIL.
Alleged Chicago Murderer Released
on $4,000 Bonds-Lively
Legal Tilt.

Chicago, H., Jan. Aid Thomas J.
OMalley, under Indictment charged
with the murder of Gus Collander in 81
raid upon polling booth on election
night last April, was admitted to bail to-
day in the sum of $4,000.
Quite sharp controversy took place
between States Attorney Deneen and At
torney Forrest. who represented O'Mal-
ley. which was ended by States Attorney
Deneen agreeing to admit the prisoner to
bail. Mr. Deneen stated that if the
habeas corpus proceedings went on he
woGld be compelled to expose his evil
dence and this he would not do He
then created a sensation by declaring he
would ask the hearing Of the case today
before Judge Sears. This was vigorous
ly opposed by Attorney Forrest who
asked Il continuance: When the case
was called late before Judge Sears he
refused TO grant Il continuance, where
upon Attorney Forrest withdrew from
the cast A motion for change of
vElue will be heard tomorrow.

GUARD THE COAST.
Fleet on the Gulf to be Reinforced
with the VeSuViuS and the
Dolphin.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2.-The dyna-
mite cruiser Nesuvius and the armed dis
patch vessel Dolphin have been ordered
to Florida waters to reinforce the al
ready numerous fleet of government yes
sells now engaged in the effort to suppress
the hlibustering expeditions bound for
Cuba. There are now two WarshipS-
the Newark and the Raleigh-and nu-
merOus revenue cutters in this service,
and it may be that the cutter feet Will
be reinforced if it is practicable to spare
any more of the few vessels still held on
duty for the usual revenue marine SCrv-
ice on the Atlantic coast This is some
what doubtful, for it is said that nearly
all of the cutters which are not absolutely
required at the present moment to per-
form boarding duty are already on the
FIQGsda coast or are on watch for hlibuS-
terers elsewhere.
All of this force gathered in that par
ticular vicinity is taken to mean that the
government is determined to leave 10
sound ground for complaint by the Span
iSh government that it has failed to meet
all of the requirements Of the interna-
tional law in preventing the departure Of
hostile expeditions from our shores to
aid the Cubans and to enable it TO assert
that it has used the due vigilance" pre-
scribed as a condition Of avoiding pecu-
mary responsibilities for the damage
wrought by tilibustcrcrs.

MR.. PALMER INTERVIEWED.
/ Says Hammond Had Not Been Himself
for Several Days.

Chicago. H.. Jan Percy Palmer.
who was one Of Hammond's most init
mate friends and business associates, was
the last man who saw Hammond alive
Mr.. Palmer said today that Hammond
called az his house III Evanston, which
is only a few minutes walk from that
occupied by the Hammonds, about s
O clock last night He remained there
until II o'clock i'll conversation with Mr..
Palmer. They talked of the future and
what might be done to again place Ham
mond again on his feet. Mr.. Palmer no
ticed that Mr.. Hammond frequently wan
dered away from the general theme and
seemed at times to be entirely oblvious
Of the presence of any one. He seemd
to be making an effort to understandable
was being said to him and Mr.. Palmer
says he saw plainly that Hammond's
troubles were weighing more heavily up
on him than had been noticed before
When Hammond arose to go to his
home Mr.. Palmer assumed the privi-
lege of accompanying him. This was de-
MED him and Hammond left the house
alone Mr.. Palmer did not see him after
this time nor did he know of his disap-
Hammond informed him Of it.
Mrs. Hammond added that upon Ham
nlond'S arrival home he went directly to
his room and retired almost immediately
She remembered Of HammOnd's coming
into the room about o'clock this morn
ing and kissing the baby. The SUPPOSE
ton is that Hammond left the house i'm
mediately after, attred IN only his I'M
derclothing and with a dressing gown
thrown over him, for his outward ap-
parel was found in his room apparently
as he had left it. 1t is thought by MI
Palmer that Hammond went directly to
the Dempster street pier and flung HIM
self into the lake.
When Mr.. Palmer was asked as to a
statement that appeared in local paper
20 the effect that Hammond had feather
ed his own nest to the detriment Of
stockholders of the National Bank of IL
linois, he said: Hammond had no ready
money to speak of. All his savings were
put directly into National Bank of Il
linois stock of which he was the largest
individual holder. His home in Evans
ton was placed on the market for sale
soon after the collapse of the bank"
Mr.. Palmer said that it was his opin-
ion that Hammond carried in the neigh
borhood of 100000 life insurance Mr.
Palmer said ever since a local paper
| had published articles rejecting on Ham
mond he had not been himself; that he
worried about the feeling the publica-
ton had created against him in the

GOLD AND SILVER OUTPUT.
United States Leads the Worlo in
the Production of the Vel
low Metal.

New York. Jan. 2-The Engineering
and Mining Journal today contains sta
tistics of the mineral productions OF the
United States during 1896. The gold
production of the United States in 1896
reached a total of $57 100000, gain
over 1895 of no less than S10.169,S00.
This extraordinary advance, which tar
SurDasses the gain reported from any oth-
er country in the world puts the united
States in the lead of the producing coun-
tries Our output of gold was no less
than 20 per cent. of the total reported
for the entire world.
The production of silver from domestic
ores reached a total of 45,465,1l3 line
ounces, showing decrease from that OF
1895 amounting to $3.50, O62 ounces only.
The silver production has thus been
maintained better than has been anticl-
pated. Moreover there were produced
or refined from foreign ores and bullion
by our smelters and works no less than
4000O.OOO fine ounces OF silver, max
ing the total quantity refined or put into
final marketable form in this country
S5.460,1T3 fine ounces. This large pro-
duction was almost entirely absorbed by
the markets and the average price of
silver for the year shows an actual adj
vance, having been 81 cents, although
towards the close of the year it fell about
, per cent. below that point. OF the
silver o%tained from foreign ores 1T IS
estimated that 100000 ounces came
from Mexican ore and bullion and p
000, 900 ounces from materials brought
into this country from Canada, chiefly
from British Columbia.

estimates the product of gold to have
approXimated $780, 600, an increase of
$1,000, 600 over 1895.

States in 1896, from the information
how at hand, is estimated to have been
from 100000 to 53,000,000 fine
