The HOTEL FIRE. !
At Least Five Lives Were Lost In the
Baldwin Blaze.

Baldwin Blaze.
San Francisco, November 25.-So Iar
as now known the victims OF the Bald
win Hotel fire number five as follows:
J. l.. White, Lewis Meyers, J. M. Light
head, Tate Pryor. !. ]. Carter. me
bodies of Leighthead and Pryor have
been recovered. That of Racing Judge
Carter has not yet been found, though
his remains are doubtless among the
ruins. The body of Pryor will be for
warded to st. Louis. where LIS VIE
resides. 1t was found under mass or
timbers and debris. 1t was badly
burned, but was identified by the Pc
culiar gold filling OF the teeth.
Judge Carter was the son OF veal
thy resident of Tennessee. He was
born and reared in Nashville, where
he held the Office of City Clerk for
term and later was in the county
clerks Office. While there his health
failed and he went to Long Branch,
N. Y, to recuperate. He became IN
terested in racing and since has been
actively identified with the sport either
as an owner or an Official. A sister,
Mrs. Wilson, lives, IN Nashville, and he
has th1ee nephews, who went to Ma
mia in a Tennessee regiment.
There are undoubtedly other bodies
yet to be found.
Manager Lake, of the hotel, says that
many of his recent guests have not
called on him since the fire for their
mail or to inquire about their personal
effects, and it is believed that some OF
the persons occupying rooms were not
registered at the Office.
There are rumors of incendiarism in
connection with the fire, the crime be-
ing attributed to a discharged en-
plove. who. it is said, had made
threats to burn the place. TWO hreS
| were discovered in the hotel and It's
annex on Friday night of last week,
but both were extinguished without
doing any damage Another theory OF
| the result of the carelessness OF the
! the origin of the blaze is that 1t was
! due to cook and walters
who are al eyed to have in
dulged in a revel in the kitchen
on the night before the building was
burned. The fire wardens will investl-
! gate the matter to-day.

stopped at the Baldwin, is in bed at

/ Nothing new developed tonight in
connection with the fire. The ruins are

a SPECIAL CABINET MEETING

| Called for Last Night to Consider Pro-
| posed Spanish ModiHcations-Our Terms
to Be Adhered To.
! Washington, November 25.-A special
Washington, November 25.- special
meeting of the cabinet was held at 10
o'clock tonight. All the members were
with the President, except Secretary
Long.
! The meeting was called by the Pres
ident in order that his advisers might
consider with him advices received this
evening from the American peace COM
missionerS at Paris. 1t is understood
that the advices related to counter pro-
posals informally made to the Ameri-
can commissioners by the representa-
tives on the commission of the Madrid
government.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
which lasted only forty minutes, and
was held in the parlors Of the White
House, Secretary of State Hay said to
representative Of the Associated Press
that the President had received some
advices from Paris that he desired TO
lay before the cabinet, and that he had
called the members together to consid-
er them. The nature of the advices,
Mr.. Hay declined to discuss, as he said
that was matter which could not be
gone into for publication at this time.
He added, however, that after consider
ing the contents of the dispatches, the
President had cabled the American
commissioners reiterating his former
instructions.
1t is understood that one point, new
in the negotiations thus far, was raised
in the dispatches received by the Pres
ldent. 1t related to the re-
ply to the Spanish commits
sioners few days ago by the
American commissioners, but in just
what particular the proposed modifica-
ton was to be made could not be as
certained. That the proposition was
not accepted was made clear by the
President in cabling 10 the American
commissioners a reiteration of his
former instructions. The American
commissioners will insist that the de-
mands of the United States, as pre-
sented to Spain few days ago, be con-
sidered without further modification.
That they will be acceded to by the
Spanish commissioners, is the earnest
belief of the members of the cabinet
and the President.

WANTS TO RESIGN,

London, November 26.-The Paris
correspondent of the Standard says:
1T is limited that the. delay in the peace
negotiations here is chiefly due to the
irritation of Senior NJ. Rios, who wants
to resign, and has only consented to
retain his membership on the Paris
commission on a personal appeal of
Senior Sagasta to his patriotism, the
premier having assured him that per-
sonal responsibility is in no wise in
yOlved."

The news from Hunting ON to-day, sta
ting that the Democratic candidates
for the Legislature, Bennett and ray
lor. had received their certificates, was
received here with rejoicing by the
Democrats, as it settles the question
of the Democrats being able to organ
ize the lower House of the Legislature.
and the additions that may be made
to the Democratic list in the House OF
Delegates will have to do only with
the question of the extent of the Dem
ocratic majority.
The House of Delegates now stands
thirty-seven Democrats and thlrty-tWo
Republicans, with two in doubt, but
they will probably be Democrats. These
now in doubt are: one from Taylor
county, where Dent, the Democrat, is
found to be elected, but the legality OF
his certificate is questioned by the Re-'
publicans. 1t is believed that Dents
certificate viii be found to be valid
one by the Courts; the other Demo-
cratfwho appears to be elected, is Tai
bot, in the Lewis-Webster district. If
these two men are found to be legally
entitled to seats in the House it will
stand thirty-nine Democrats and thir-
ty-two Republicans, a Democratic ma
jority Of seven.
Recounts are in progress in Kama
VIVA, Lewis and P~ndolph counties.
The recount in Kanawha will result in
the election of one or more of the
Democrats. A dispatch from G. Wood
Daley to Chairman Ohley, of the Dem
ocratic Committee, states that there
is not the least doubt about the two
Democratic members from the Ran
dolph-Tucker district getting their GER
tificates, so they are counted in the
certain Democratic list. The election
of Crook, Democrat, from LewisWeb-
r'aTDeru, Democrat. IN the SAME dis
trict, will be found to have been
elected
From the most reliable information
at hand it seems there is but little
doubt that after all the reeounts and
all the possible contests in the courts.
there will be at least thirty-nine DEM
ocrats and thirty-two Republicans in
The House of Delegates, with the pos
sibility of one or more Democrats be-
Ing added to the list.
