Was a Leading Republican Politi.
clan OF Southern California

PASADENA, Nov 23.-William E.
Arthur, City Attorney of Pasadena,
and one of the leading Republican poll
ticians of Southern California, died at
his home to-day of paralysis.
Last Friday morning, on attempting
to rise from bed, he fell unconscious,
and when found it was learned that
he was completely paralyzed on one
side. He had been unconscious most
of the time from that day to the hour
of his death, and passed away very
quietly.
Mr.. Arthur worked very hard during
the entire campaign IS a member of
the Republican Congressional Commit
tee, and it is believed that the strain
SO long kept up was the cause of the
paralytic stroke. Before the campaign
began Mr.. Arthur was not in very good
health. and was obliged to go to the
seaside for a rest.
Mr.. Arthur leaves a wife and child,
and was about 30 years old at the time

BENCH NEEDS REFORMING.
Sensational Attack Upon the Ju-
dietary by an Ex-Judge.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 23.-After the
testimony of several unimportant wit
nesses in the proceedings against
State Senator Burke to-day, the attor-
neys of both sides announced that all
their witnesses had been examined and
that they were ready to begin their ar
guments.
Attorney Foran spoke for the de-
fense.
Judge Blandin, one of the three prose-
cutors of the charges against Senator
Burke, arose to speak, as every one
In support Of the charges and
in defense of Judge Dellenbaugh.
Instead of doing that, the Judge made
a bitter and sensational attack upon
the whole bench of Cuyahoga County.
He said he knew the risk he was TAX
ing, but that he did not care. For some
time the ex-Judges and old and tried
members of The bar who listened to
Blandin's passionate utterances, stood
amazed at his daring Then they broke
into cheers. When Judge Blandin fin
ished they cheered and clapped their
hands.
Judge Blandin declared that it was
the bench which needed reforming from
the first the elimination of rottenness
should commence with the bench. lie
went into details and did not hesitate
to say that he was talking about Judge
Walter C. Ong and Judge Z. K. Dis
sette. He said that 1t was a compara-
lively insignificant thing whether
Judge Dellenbaugh was impeached and
driven from the bench, or whether Yer
non H. Burke was debarred. It is
more important, he declared, to cleanse
the benches of the county so that prop
erty, liberty and life may be safe in the
hands of the seven men constituting
the court.
1t was one of the most sensational
speeches ever made by a lawyer in
Cuyahoga County.
A decision may not be reached for
several days.

six weeks tour of the interior. They
were we'll received everywhere. The
travelling, however, was most difficult.
They crossed the provinces of Pang
Asna and Neuva Ecija, and then trav-
eled over the mountains. Not yard
of barren land was seen, the towns
were quiet and prosperous, the plains
were highly cultivated, and the noun
tains were splendidly timbered.
The insurgent troops have everywhere
settled down, and there We're no
signs of dissatisfaction with a guidless
Government. There are many Span
ish soldiers and friars in captivity, but
no Sisters of Charity were observed
among the prisoners.
They sailed down a splendid river to
Parri. at the extreme north end of the
island of Luzon, where they arrived on
November 9Th, on board the insurgent
steamer Filipinos. From there the ap-
parent idle travellers took a steamer to
Oslo, on the west coast, and landed and

The insurgent officers had just re-

the Americans agreed to have every
thing of that nature forwarded to them
later.
The two officers reached San Tomas
with difficulty, because the bridges had
been washed away century ago, and
had never been rebuilt. Only tempor-
ary bamboo bridges are erected during

THE BALDWIN
HOTEL FIRE.
Continued from First Page)

A suite of rooms on the fourth floor
of the Powell-street side was occupied
by four officers of the Sixth California
Regiment, who were warned in time
to escape by the elevator without their
effects. They were Major r. X. Whit
more, Major G. G. Grant, and Lieu
tenants j. d. Jones and t. w. Jones.
They were awaked at 3:2O o'clock by
a terrific knocking on the door ana
cries to them to fly without attempt
ing to save anything. They needed the
warning, and beat a hasty retreat.
j. w. O'Connor, chief officer of the
steamer City Of Sydney, was one OF
the last to leave the hotel. He was
awakened by a falling skylight which
was shattered above his room and rat
tied down the shaft beside his Win
dow Attired only in his under gar
ments. he made his way through the
passage, which was filled with smoke
and fire.. When he reached the street
his clothing was seen to be on nrc,
and the hose was turned on him by
the firemen He was almost blinded
bv the smoke. With O'Connor in the
hotel was Purser Leithed of the sgd
ney. who has not been accounted for
Jacob Golinsky, business man and
Postmaster of Keswick, Shasta Coun-
tv was a guest on the second floor,
and one of those who escaped by the
main stairway.
Jack Quinn. the bookmaker. says
that his days bookings, amounting II
$4,000. was in his trunk in his room.
He saved himself and thought of his
money. An offer of 500 induced a
porter to attempt to save the trunk.
Fastening with the trunk down stairs,
the porter was overcome with the
smoke and heat. but the firemen saved
both him and his heavy burden.
DIR. J. A. Noble and his wife were
on the second floor, and they lost nearly
all their worldly possessions. They had
made their rooms their home, and had
stocked them with all sorts of bric-a-
brac and costly furniture. They esti-
mate their loss at something like
$1,000. They left the hotel on short
notice. Mrs Noble had been suffering
from rheumatism, but she soon forgot
her pain, and both she and her husband
crossed Market street in their bare
feet.
Thieves and pickpockets reaped har-
vest during the progress of the fire and
to-day worked in the crowd which sur
rounded the ruins. Several arrests
were made, and the force of police was
largely increased as a measure of pre-
caution.
The theory of the Fire Department is
that the disastrous blaze started in the
hotel kitchen on the Ellis-street side,
and that the flames were sucked up to
the roof through the elevator shaft.
Chief of Police Lees as well as many
others are confident that the confagra- :
ton originated in the rear of the thea
ter. 1t burned with frightful rapidity.
and the marvel is that there was not
greater loss of life.
While the guests were being reused
from their slumbers, and before the
greater number of them had a chance
to leave their rooms someone turned an
electric switch and threw the hotel in
total darkness. The hotel was lighted
solely by electricity, and the act CT
cutting the current, which was doubt
less done to enable the Fire Department
| to work without danger from live wires,
| increased the panic a thousand fold.

BANK ROBBERS IN MISSOURI.
Desperate Attempt to Loot a Con-
Germ at EIsberry.

Germ at EIsberry.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 23.-At Elsberry.
Mo-, sixty-eight miles north of here, on
the ST. Louis, Keokuk and Northwest
ern Railroad, robbers made a desperate
attempt to rob the Lincoln County
Bank. 1t is not known how much, if
anything, they obtained.
AS a result Of rough treatment re-
ceived from the robbers, John Wise
man Waters, the night watchman of
the town, who is 60 years of age, may
die. He was found at an early hour
to-day, bound and gagged, lying in the
open air, where he had been left by
the robbers. He was badly frozen.
When President F. H. Harvey arriv-
ed at the bank this morning he found
the vault doors wide open. The safe
inside, containing $4,000, was closed,
and he was unable to open it. An ex-
pert safe opener was sent here from
st. Louis at the request of the bank off,
cials. The st. Louis expert worked all
afternoon on the safe, but could not
open it. He is emphatic in the state
ment that the robbers failed to open
the safe. Another expert was taken
from st. Louis, and is now at work on
the safe.
The bank was obliged to close for the
day, but will reopen Friday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The COM
mission appointed by the President to
recommend form of government for
the Hawaiian Islands as a part of the
United States met in Senator Cullom's
committee-room at the Capitol to-day
for the first time since leaving Homo
lulu. Senators Cullom and Morgan,
Representative Hit and Judge Frear
were present.
The meeting was devoted to discuss
ing details of the bill and the report
which the commission will present to
Congress- which had not been fully
decided upon at the last meeting. The
legislation which will be recommended
by the commission will be included in
a bill. which to all intents and pur-
poses will be an enabling Act. and
very much like the bills providing for
the admission of new States into the
Union, except in the one important de-
tail that it provides for the admission
of a Territory and not a State. The
bill has been completed but probably
will be amended somewhat in detail.
The report has not been completed,
but the commission has decided upon
it's important features. One of these
of importing laborers under contract
shall be discontinued. The Commits
sioners have concluded that as the
system is contrary to the laws ap-
plying to this country as a whole, it
would not be wise to continue it even
temporarily in Hawaii. 1t is under
stood that a majority, at least, OF the
members of the commission do not ac-

Europeans cannot do manual labor IN

The commission will recommend a
regular Territorial form of govern
ment, with a Governor, a Delegate in
Congress and Legislature. The Leg
islature will be elected by the qualified
voters of the islands, but there will be
property and educational qualifications
imposed upon those who vote for MEM
bers of the upper house of the Legis-
lature The franchise will not be ex-
tended to the Japanese or Chinese in
the island, but the Portuguese who
become citizens will not be excluded
under the restrictions imposed.
The commission will present full de-
tails of the value of the property ac-
quired and other important facts bear
ing upon the government of the ISL
ands. They estimate that the prop
erty secured to the United States will
amount. to more than $1O,O00OOO.
Justice Frear, one of the Hawaiian
Commissioners, and also a member OF
the Supreme Court of Hawaii, said
this afternoon in answer to a question
as to the solution of the coolie labor
problem in Hawaii:
Under the present law coolie labor
can be imported. Our people, if left
to their own choice, would prefer to

The case will probably proceed without

be that Rosser was drunk and made
