Spokane Lodging House.
Spokane, WASH, Jan. 25.-Twenty. five
lives were lost as a result of fire which
broke out early this morning in the Great

The first story of the building was used
for stores, and the remainder was let out

ways being so arranged as to cut off es-
cape, many jumped from all the floors
and were taken to the hospital dead or
nearly so. Some were penned in aud
smothered, and others were burned to
death.
The loss will reach more than half a
million dollars. The heat was so intense
that the work of rescuing the imprisoned
people WAS impossible.

were In the building at the time the fire
started.
The house was built in 1890 and cost
over qusrter Of q million dollars.

fearing lest it should be some ono trying
TO escape, the dog immediately ran behind
the Jail to satisfy herself that all things
were safe. She had learned by her SUI
perior intelligence that people kept in the
jail were there to stay and not to. have
free access to the outside. And. besides,
when the prisoners were at work, the
animal seems to know the exact number
and can easily tell when''one man is miss
ing. If one prisoner attempts to separate
himself from the others Daisy follows
him. AS is natural Mr.. Johnston prizes
his possession highly.

CANNOT DECLARE MARTIAL Law.
Duty Of the Local Authorities at Key
Went.

Duty Of the Local Authorities at Key
West.
There is no statute Of Congress" said
government official today, whereby mar
tial law can at this time be proclaimed at
Key West'
This statement was made in reply to
questions as to what might be done as a
result Of the outbreak that occurred at
Key West last week, in which several men
lost their lives. Martial law" the Off
cial added, exists only when the army is
in the enemy's country. OF course there
are exceptions to this general rule, but they
are not such as would apply to the condi-
ton Of affairs at Key West. There might
be military government provided for es-
pecially by Congress. when the people In
any one section proclaim their hostility
to the government. For instance, Congress
provided for a provisional military govern
ment for some Of the southern states at
the close Of the late war, after peace had
been declared, but the necessity for this
arose out of the fact that some Of the
people were hostile to the government. In
cases like that arising at Key West the
army and navy are supposed to look after
the proper behavior Of the soldiers and
jackies. II riotous condition Of affairs
existed, then It II the duty Of the local au-
thorfties to appeal to the state authorities
for aid In suppressing the trouble, to be
followed IN turn by the latter's appeal to
the national government for assistance"
