Philanthropic organizations tried to induce Strauss to remain, but he did not see fit to accede to their appeals. The selection of Strauss by President Mckinley for this important post Is another high compliment to Strauss valuable services in the past
 Strauss belongs to distinguished fam fly. His brother, Isador Strauss, was formerly a Representative in Congress, while another brother, Nathan Strauss, has been leading figure in the municipal affairs of New York.

SELMA, May 2S.-There Is great ex- citement here in consequence of the discovery of a gold-bearing quartz ledge in the mountains northeast of Selma The find was made bv J. M. Lowe of Selma. who was herding hogs in the vicinity. Lowe came to town with samples of free milling ore and took Cashier Snodgrass of the Selma Bank into his confidence. Snodgrass accompanied Lowe to the mountains. The prospect was so satisfactory that Snodgrass made several locations on the ledge and made arrangements for prospecting on an extensive scale.
 In the meantime the secret leaked out and another expedition started for the scene. There is now a contest on as to priority of claim to some of the best locations. Yesterday the craze reached fever heat and to-dav there has been a continuous exodus in the direction of La Fevre Creek, and there will be a race for locations on the rid~e where croppings are traceable for long dis tance.

 Barely Saved.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, May 2S.-One of the most disastrous fires which has oc- cured in this city for several years started this afternoon in the basement of the wholesale merchandise store of Crandan. Aylsworth & Haskell, 218 to PA Los Angeles street, and before the flames were subdued nearly $200, 900 worth of property had gone up in smoke.
 The fire started in the excelsior bins In the basement of the establishment, and, owing to the inflammable charac- ter of the stock carried by the firm, the entire building of three stories was soon ablaze. A general alarm was sounded, and after working for over two hours to quench the flames the fire department turned it's attention to the adjoining buildings to prevent a spread of the fire, which threatened to consume the entire block. In this the department was successful, the only damage incurred other than that suf- fered by Crandall, Aylsworth & Has k2ll and E. German, owner of the building, being a partial loss sustained bv the Pacific Crockery and Tinware Company from water.
 The fire was probably caused by spontaneous combustion, but its exact origin is at present unknown.
 The loss to Crandall, Aylsworth & Haskell will amount to fully s130, ,000, with $50 900 insurance. The building, owned by E. German, was constructed at a cost of $50,000. The building was a total loss and was insured for s20, 900. The loss of the Pacific Crockery and Tinware Company will amount to about $5000; insurance unknown.
