FIRE IN A STORE BASEMENT .
THE CLUNIE BUILDING WAS IN
DANGER.
Effective Work Of the Firemen-
The Need Of Chemical
Engine Demonstrated.

About 7:30 o'clock last evening fire
was discovered in the basement of the
American Cash Store, in the Clunie
building at Eighth and K streets, and
for a time it looked as though the en-
tire structure would go up in smoke.
The fire engines responded promptly,
and a line of hose was run into the
alley and through the basement win
dow The smoke was binding. and
the body of the fire, which was feed
ing upon great piles of empty crates
and boxes, was roaring like a furnace.
Upon recommendation of Chief Guth-
rie, the Board of Trustees at a recent
meeting ordered the purchase of
cellar pipe, intended for use at just
such fires as the one Of last night. The
pipe was received only few days ago,
and was used last night for the first
time 1t proved an unqualified sue
cess, and had it not been for it the
flames would probably have got be-
yond control.
The cellar pipe was used by insert
ing the nozzle through a hole cut over
the heart of the fire. The nozzle is
set in ball socket joint and is worked
from above with lever. 1t throws
a stream at any angle or in any di-
rection desired, and with the pressure
on last night the fire had a poor show
when the apparatus began to operate.
The fire started in some old crates
stuffed with straw, which were slowed
away in the basement. Much of the
surplus stock of the store was stored
in the middle and front part of the
basement, and the damage to it will
probably reach $1,000. The estimated
damage to the building was over
81 900.
The printing Office of c. A. Dodge,
in the rear portion of the building, suf-
fered severely, and the entire stock of
type, etc, was ruined. The loss will
probably reach $500. 1t is said to
have been only partially covered by
| insurance
The fire was got under control only
after an hour and half of stubborn
fighting by the firemen. The crowd
pressed in on the fire laddies at times
so that they had no room to work, and
Chief Guthrie was obliged to order the
hose turned on the sightseers.
In speaking of this fire, Chief Guth-
rie said that a chemical engine would
have smothered it before it could have
got under good headway, and that the
loss would have been nominal.

SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
Mrs. w. A. Simon Falls Dead on
the Street

While walking along X street yester-
day, returning from a shopping tour,
Mrs. Wesley A. Simon Of 1910 P street,
wife of a we'll known mechanic in the
employ of the railroad company, fell
to the sidewalk and instantly expired
Mrs. Simon was 65 years of age At
the time she was stricken-supposedly
by heart disease-she was leading by
the hand the little son of relative,
and so sudden was the attack that
when she fell she dragged the child
down with her. His head struck the
cement walk and was badly bruised.
A sister of Mrs. Simon was with her
The body was removed to the Morgue
and word sent to Mr. Simon. His grief
was painful to behold when he was
confronted with the lifeless form of
her whom he had left but a few hours
before in apparently good health.

THE EvAsIvE BURGLAR.
Tools Stolen, and a House Entered
in the Family's Absence.

Some time between Saturday night
and Monday morning thieves entered
the carriage shop of Shevelin & Ege-
burg, at Sixth and L streets, and stole
therefrom sledge, two drills, two CHS
els and a number of other small tools.
The police believe that the burglars
who on Sunday night entered Elkus
store, on ] street, between Ninth and
Tenth, and mutilated the safe in their
attempt to get at its contents, are the
same who rif1ed the carriage shop. The
sledge stolen from the latter place was
probably the one used to batter the
combination lock on the safe
On Sunday evening last thieves en-
tered the residence of Clarence Nelson,
1922 Fourteenth street, but were inter-
rupted by the return of the family be-
fore they secured anything of value.

SELF ANNEXATION SCHEME
Bill Received from Washington for
Passage by Hawaii.
Providing thai Hawaii Shall Place Herself
Under the Sovereignty Of the
United States.

A Washington dispatch of April
20 tells of bill having been car
RED back to Hawaii for the Ha-
waiian Legislature to pass, placing
the Islands under the sovereignty
of The United States in the event
of war between that country and
Spain.
There was a dispatch of similar
tenor, excepting that it said q
bill had been sent without men
tioning President Dole, under
date of Washington, April 26.
The dispatch of the 29th con-
cludes with this paragraph:
British necessities are so great
in commerce that if the United
States does not control this Pacific
station, Great Britain must, in
self-protection, assume control.
Honolulu promises to become th Q
resort of a tremendous feet of
ocean steamers, mostly British.
All collier ships have to stop there,
and the present Hawaiian Govern
ment will not be able to maintain
proper police and sanitary con-
ditions. The expectation in the
English Foreign Office is that the
United States will respond to Ha.
waits invitation. England favors
this course rather than permit
another power to control her line
of communication with Australia.
The British Ministry assured the
State Department that it views
with favor the occupation of Ha-
waii by America.
A BULLETIN reporter showed the
dispatch of the 26th to President
Dole this morning.
The President said such bill
had been received from Washing
ton.
Asked if the Government would
take action upon the bill, Presl
dent Dole declined to answer al
present.
1t is stated in the dispatch
shown to President Dole that the
"bill was prepared by several
members of the Foreign Affairs
Committee with the approval OF
the President and Secretary OF
State"
This all looks as if the question
of annexation has been place.
solely in the hands of the Ha
walian Government and Legisla-
ture. 1t involves the respon-ioi
ity, however, of bringing Hawaiil
into the actual sphere of existing
war.

A CENTRE FOR HARDWARE.

1t is generally accepted fact that Chambers
St. in this city. is the hardware centre of the
country. The number Of firms who engaged
in that line runs up into the hundreds. and there
Is no part of the hardware trade which is not
represented.
The amount of building hardware sold in New
York in single year will probably average
from $3,OOO.O00 to $J.000000. II to this is
added the various specialtes OF the individual
manufacturers the aggregate will be consdera-
bly, over that amount.
While the majority Of the factories are out
side of the city, all of the firms maintain Offices
here and the bulk Of their business is Increased
by travelling men, who sent to every city
and hamlet in the country.
American hardware also finds a market
abroad and this city is the Mecca for builders
and merchants from all parts Of the United
States a conservative estimate places the num-
Der Of persons employed in the hardware trade,
including factory help, agents and clerks. at
about fifteen thousand people. One firm in New
York. which manufactures single speciality, en-
ploys $50 men in its factory. A condition which
accounts for the extensiveness of the business
is the fact that the goods manufactured are IN
such constant and general use that there IS
great wear and tear. Hinges. locks and the
other items of hardware used in building are
constantly wearing out. and demand renewal,
the effect being steady demand for the arti-
Giles In question. which helps to keep the manu-
facturers active.
