The first time you hear a Populist
saying that the Democratic party is not
honest in advocating free silver, you
question him a little and you will see
that he is in favor of fusion with the
Republicans and then if you will go a

This is one of the most praiseworthy fea- lures of the work, for none of the men nave received any pay yet, and were it not for the Red Cross they would either have to remain in camp or go hungry.
 Caring for these guests will be the only tomorrow and Sunday will bring a large work The Montana and North Dakota contfngents are scheduled to arrive in ad- dition to the two regiments of regulars from New Orleans. The society wifi out do itself in the way of receiving the reg ularS, for it has been stated that only the volunteers would be cared for as the regulars were supposed to have had so much experience and are so thoroughly equipped that the ladies felt they did not need their protection. This was shown to be untrue when the two companies of the Fourteenth arrived from Alaska Officers and men partook of the hospitality of the society, and none appreciated it more than they. But to effectually stop all to give the two regiments en route a spec ially cordial reception, and though they are professional soldiers the men will treasure this attention as highly as any volunteers possibly could.
 The splendid residence of Mrs Alma E. Keith at 2624 California street was thrown open last night and the boys in blue were her guests-invited there to eat, drink and be merry.

The affair was got up by Mrs. Keith chiefly for the benefit of the Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota troops, but all were welcome.

on duty at the ferry from 6 a. m., gave up their dinners Wednesday evening to serve an expected carload of troops. With the incoming boat only sixteen men ap- peared. recruits for the regular army from Texas. They were all in nondescript clothes, some hatless and others coauess, and all moneyless, blanketless and bag gageless. The good hearts of the ladies were doubly touched, and they served these men with even greater sympathy than the better dressed troops, and they then loaded them with extra lunches and furnished those wanting with hats and coats, because they knew how slow Uncle Sam Is in caring for his men. They even raised car fare among themselves and furnished guide to the Presidio.
 The POstoftice Department has fitted up a postoffice box in front of the ferry Red Cross rooms, and the Red Cross ladies, in their sympathy for those left at home, persuade the boys in blue to inform their people of their safe arrival.
 Although there has been a comparative lull in the movement of troops during the past day or two, the Red Cross Society has not been idle. A stock of provisions is kept on hand constantly at the ferry headquarters and boys in blue are fed there at all hours of the day. To the men from the interior States who have never seen salt water, the harbor front is source of much interest, and each day hundreds of soldiers pass their liberty hours on the docks. These men are always welcome to the Red Cross headquarters, and are fed by the ladies without charge.

THE RIDEOUT
 NEARLY BURNED Fire Started in the Cargo
 in the Lower Hold.
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE
SAVED BY THE STATE TUG GOV
 ERNOR MARKHAM.
Everything Was Ready for Start for the Klondike When the Fire Was Discovered by
 the Cook.

The steamer Rideout, intended for the Yukon River trade, had a narrow escape from total destruction by fire yesterday 1aorning. Just as she was being got ready to leave the wharf, the flames broke out in the forward hold, and soon got a good headway Luckily the State fire tug, Governor Markham, was in the same slip as the Rideout, and she soon had cou- pie of streams playing on the flames. When the fire was subdued in the for ward part of the steamer, it broke out aft, and the vessel had to be partially flooded before all danger was past. The loss to vessel and cargo will be about $4000, which is covered by insurance. Some of the passengers will be the greatest sufferers, as their baggage was destroyed, and they will have to secure a new out fit before they can start again for the klondike.
 The Rideout was built at Stockton for the California and Yukon Trading Com pany and was to have begun her voy- age to Dutch Harbor in tow of the steam CT Tillamook yesterday morning. The United Engineering Company attached the vessel for $500, however, and the steamer was further libeled for s100 more by one of the contractors. These troubles were strengthened out and the Tillamook was just putting her lines aboard preparatory to beginning her long tow when the fire broke out. Captain Durham and his crew tried their best to control the blaze, but 1t was not until the Governor Markham got to work that the flames were sub dued.
 An Investigation showed that the fire broke out among the general cargo, and those interested in the steamer think 1t was incendiary. 1t will take at least two weeks to repair the damages, and the vessel will then start for the Yukon. Her passengers are twenty-five carpenters and engineers who are going to Alaska in the employ of the California-Yukon Trad ing Company.
 As soon as a thorough examination of the steamer was completed by the under writers, the passengers began getting the baggage they had saved back on board again, and the carpenters began doing mess and getting things ready for the re- pairs. It is unfortunate for the com pany that the fire broke out, as the Ride out was to connect with the Morgan City at St. Michael on that vessels initial
