Se,5OO,OOO Hotel Fire.

The immense, six-story Baldwin hotel
and theater building at San Francisco
caught fire at a. IN. and was entirely
destroyed. There were 500 people,
guests and employees in the hotel when
the fire broke out, and a number OF
these people were at first thought to
have lost their lives. Only two deaths
resulted, however, they are: A. D..
White and Louis Meyer, a cigar dealer,
of Skaguay. Before giving up his life,
White saved the lives of three women.
Meyer dropped dead from heart disease
caused by the excitement. There were
scores of narrow escapes, and Million

unknown woman has also been found,
and it is now feared that there are still

six people are still missing. Fire

England Protests to the Chinese.

Sir Claude Macdonald, the British
minister at PelIin. will make the fol-
lowing representations to the Chinese
government on the subjoined points,
at an early date:
1. The treaty powers will not recog-
nize the restoration of the regency, on
SO himsy preteXt as the ill-health of
the emperor, which is not sufficient to
Justify change in the sovereignty.
.. The work of the reform started
by the emperor must not be suspended,
not only in the interests of peace in
the east, but for the sake also of the
maintenance of the Chinese empire.
3. 1t is contrary TO principles of hui
manity to visit capital punishment
upon political antagonists, and this
practice must be discontinued in the
future.
4. That the Chinese government must
take greater precautions to prevent as
saults by natives on foreign residents
in Pekin in broad daylight.
