people were burned to death. The up

crowds in the streets are frantic with
excitement. Several thrilling rescues
were made. One man came down a
rope with his babe on his arm and his
wife followed. The building is owned
by Louis Levinsky, of San Francisco.
It cost Se25. 900 and Is insured for $5o.-
600. The stairways were burned away
before the people living In the house
were awakened and their chance for
escape was cut of. Only the walls Of
the big building remain. Estimates
of the loss of life vary from 10 to 10.

poses It
New YORK, Jan. e5.-The Herald has
obtained the views of some of the gov
ernors of States on the subject of an
nexation of Hawaii. The views ex-
pressed by the governors of Kansas
and Missouri are as follows: Gov.
Leedy, of Kansas: ~ believe the Ha-
waiian islands should be annexed by
the United States for these reasons:
Within q short time a canal will be
built across the isthmus of Panama
This canal should be controlled and
governed by the United States The
nation having possession of these
islands will command the road to that
canal and will'also possess the key to
the Pacific ocean from a maritime
standpoint. My belief Is that If we
allow Hawaii to slip out of our fingers
now, within so years our necessities
would compel us to fight to get posses
sion of the islands and, therefore. It
seems to me to be good policy to get
them while we can In peace" Gov.
Stephens, of Missouri: "I am opposed
to the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands. but cannot explain my posi-
ton satisfactorily in an interview"

81 years of its history, the association
probably never passed a more profts-

the association took steps toward the
