by Others.
Denver, November 14-Gov Adams has
received telegram from Adjt Gen. Cor
bin to the effect that the volunteer regi-
ments now doing duty in the Philippines
are to be ordered home as soon as the
troops now enroute for the islands reach
there to take their places. The Governor
had written the Adjutant General, re-
questing the discharge of a young son of
a prominent Denver family. In his reply
Gen. Corbin says: In reply l have the
honor to inform you that it is the pur-
pose of the War Department to return to
the United States within a few months

Manila, other volunteer regiments now
being on their way to replace them. 1t
is believed this will have been accom-
plished, and the soldier for whom you
write will return to you about as soon
as though his discharge were ordered i'm
medately."
Gov. Adams is of the opinion that the
troops will be at home some time in Jan
uary.

Starting Fires.

ia, B. c., November 14.-Returning
Klondikers arriving in this city to-day
bring the news that the city of Dawson

in which forty buildings were burned,
including the new postoffice building,
and some of the incest buildings in
the city. The fire took place on the
morning of October 16. 1t started in
the Green Tree saloon as the result of
row between two women of town.
Belle Mitchell threw a lighted lamp
at another woman. The lamp broke,
the oil spread, and in a few seconds
the building was on fire. The fire
started at 500 a. m.
The fire of a year ago was caused
by the same woman, who threw lamp
at man with whom she had a quar-
rel. A month ago she tried to burn her
own place in Third Avenue. in Daw-
son, by throwing a lamp at woman
and nearly caused confagration by
again losing her temper and welding
another lighted lamp. The news of
the confagration was brought out by
several of the miners who arrived in
this city.

Hughes Case, Yesterday.
Mr.. J. Elwood Hughes was still in
Jail at half-past nine o'clock last even
ing, and just when he will be released,
or how, are largely matters for con-
lecture. Judge PAUL still has the mat
ters submitted to him Saturday under
Amusement, but indisposition and
pressing business combined have so far
delayed a decision.
