CITY OF DAWSON
 NEARLY DESTROYED Row in Saloon Between Women Started the Conf1agration. THREW A LIGHTED LAMP Oil Spread and in Few Moments the Town Was sAblaze-Required Quick
 Work to Save City From To-
 tai Destruction
THREW A LIGHTED LAMP

Skaguay, Alaska, November 7.-(Via Vic- toria B. C., November 14.-Returning Klon- dikers arriving in this city today bring the news that the City of Dawson has been visited with $500 ,O0O fire, in which forty buildings were burned, including the new postoffice building and some of the best buildings in the city. The fire took place on the morning of October 16. It started in the Green Tree saloon, as the result of row between two women of the town. Belle Mitchell threw a lighted lamp at an- other woman. The lamp broke, the oil spread and in a few seconds the building was on fire. The fire started at 5:20 a. m. The fire of year ago was caused by this same woman, who threw lamp at man with whom she had a quarrel. A month ago she tried to burn her own place in Third avenue by throwing a lamp at a woman and nearly caused confiagration by again losing her temper and yielding another lighted lamp.
 The news of the confagration was brought out by several of the miners, who arrived in this city. The steamer Ora left Dawson October 20, and twenty through passengers reached Bennett yesterday morning.
 At the time the police gong sounded the fire alarm, light wind was blowing down the Yukon and the people at once saw that it would require quick work to save the town from total destruction. The post office was the next building south of the Green Tree saloon and the work of getting the mail matter out was quickly done. Nearly all the mail was saved All that remains to show where forty buildings stood are a few blackened logs and the town was saved from total destruction by the fire engine.
 The Klondike Nugget says that the losses will be difficult to estimate but the follow ing list is given officially: Worden hotel, $40 000; Pattson & McGrath's saloon, $4, 900; postoffice building, $1O00O; George Green- trees saloon, $35. 900; Empire Bakery build- ing, $40,00O McPherson & Johnson, $2O 900; Vancouver hotel, s25, 5,000; John Sargent's sa- loon, 5000; New York store and ladies' ba- zaar, $21 900; Case & Gilsey $S ,0O0; Dawson Tortoni, Jack Horn, Nellie Lewis and sey- eral others, S45 900; Hubbard Boot and Shoe store, and sixteen small buildings S6 0O0: Flateawa, tailor, $16 1000; restaurants, small stores, etc., S29.000 Damage to buildings, by water to stocks ,etc., $50000; damage to goods and stocks in the burned districts claimed by losers to be S100 000 deducting 50 per cent, $50, ,000 Total loss estimated at $503 900. No insurance at Dawson and the loss falls entirely on the individuals. It was first thought the fire was the result of an incendiary. but this suspicion has been en- tirely dissipa ted. It Is said there that lum- Der and window glass will be sent to Daw- son to rebuild with, but that some of the people are in distress and will have to live in tentss for the rest of the winter.

 The republicans have elected the legisla- ture in Indiana, and will elect successor to Senator Turpie. The defeat of this aged soon will be the greatest loss the Aenate has experienced in many years. The senate could almost as well afford to lose Senators Hoar or Allison. Senator Turpie was wise in council, and as far as his health would permit he was a leader in the chamber. Not only leader of democrats, but of republicans well.

 Senator Smith of New Jersey has gone under, which takes the last democratic senator from that part of the country.

 The struggle for the solicitorships Is ex- tremely warm. The various candidates are here and accompanied by their friends in large numbers. There is talk or all sorts of trades, combinations and "slates"
 The only solicitorship contest of state in- terest is that between Ben Elmore of Ma rengo, and Oscar l.. Gray. of Choctaw. Elmore is the present solicitor There is politics in this contest, all indirectly grow ly out of the recent Taylor-Taylor fight for congress in the First district.

ONE EFFECT OF THE VICTORY.

1t cannot be otherwise than that Admiral
Dewey's victory will have an effect to
shorten the war with Spain. If il were a
drawn battle it would be otherwise, but the
result has been the humiliation of the Span
ish heet-the destruction of a considerable
part of the sea force of Spain in Spanish
waters and with all the advantage which
the choice of position and the aid of shore
guns could afford. The United States fleet
was the superior in guns, but the Spaniards
had the advantage in numbers and in
knowledge of the harbor and it's surround
ings. All things considered, the advantage
of superior weight of metal was offset by
the advantage of position and numbers.
Under such conditions the victory is due to
superior skill in officers and men. 1t has
shown that the American navy is far SUI
perior to that of Spain. 1t has convinced,
or at least should convince, the powers
that on the sea. under anything like equal
conditions. the United States is so far the
superior of Spain that they should interfere
to compel Spain to give up Cuba and thus
put an end to a war which disturbs the
worlds commerce. In a war which must
be fought on the seas Spain has not only
been defeated in the first encounter, but
her inferiority has been exposed to the
world. She can hope for nothing except de-
feat, and early and overwhelming defeat on
the ocean, because of her inferiority, not
so much in ships as the officers and men
who walk the decks of her ships and man.
age the complex mechanism of a modern
war ship. Spain is a nation of day before
yesterday, and cannot contest any field with
any nation of to-day.
The Manila victory makes it clear that
Spain cannot hope to reinforce it's army
in Cuba. All important Cuban ports are
held in the grasp of our blockade. A gov
eminent whose admirals cannot hold a port
with a feet cannot break a blockade TO
seize one. That fact should end the war.
1t would with any other government. For
the powers" to permit Spain to starve her
troops in Cuba for no purpose but to crafty
an inordinate vanity is not in accord with
their longtime pretensions. They should
put Spain under guardianship as they have
put Greece. and end the war she has pro-
VOked.

and greenbacks. 1t need not take a very
bright man to discern the purpose of that
scheme. To tax treasury notes would lead
the holders to send them to the treasury
for redemption, thus starting the endless
chain to deplete the gold reserve. Another
scheme is to issue $lO0. coo. 600 of g~reenbacks
TO take the place of those which have been
lest. There IS no evidence that 100000 600 of
the $346 100000 of greenbacks outstanding
have been lost. The scheme is the ompan-
ion piece of the Democratic proposition in
the House to issue $50. 900, 900 of greenbacks.
The House proposition was a shameless at
tempt to create distrust by initiating the
currency, while that of the Senate attempts
the same thing under the guise of d false
assumption. Both are plots to destroy pub
lie confidence in the stability of the currency
and force the country to a silver or paper
money basis.

GENERAL EFFECT OF THE VICTORY.

The only extensive naval engagement with
modern ships was that between the Japa-
nese and Chinese, Sept. II, 1894. The Chinese
took twelve ironclads and cruisers into ac-
ton and the Japanese eleven, with torpedo
boats. The Japanese sank four and burned
three of the Chinese ships, leaving five to
escape. Three of the japanese vessels were
quite seriously damaged. The battle lasted
five hours. Not so many ships were engaged
at Manila on either side, the engagement
was of shorter duration and the result more
decisive, since no Spanish ship escaped,
while, so far as learned. no ship of the
United States was severely injured. The
second battle between ironclads with mod
ern guns goes to sustain the opinion that
any engagement between fleets of modern
war ships must result in decisive victory for
one side and something like humiliation for
the other. The affair at Manila also makes
greatest number of well-manned and armed
ships is the controlling power.
Turning to the era of wooden walls and
sails, one will turn back many pages Of
the worlds history to find a naval battle
as decisive as was that at Manila. In the
great naval battles the victor was usual
ly almost as severely crippled when he drew
off from action as was the vanquished.
Years ago a naval battle, unless it resulted
in a sweeping victory, did not so much de-
eide issues as now, because the worlds COM
merce was carried in wooden ships which
could be made available for war. Now the
destruction of an ironclad fleet infiicts a
loss which cannot be made good in less
than two or three years.
Another effect of the victory is the change
of opinion it will cause in Europe. There
has been much sneering at the United
States navy because European nations re-
member our ships as they entered their
ports a dozen years ago. No government in
Europe seems to have kept a record of our
progress in the creation of a modern navy.
Europeans generally have assumed that in
so brief a period it has been impossible for
us to secure a corps of officers so capable
of handling modern war ships as those of
Admiral Dewey proved themselves to be in
the fight at Manila. Now that Europeans
have seen what we can do, they may at
tempt to cultivate our friendship as one of
the dictators among the nations.
