Joe Hutchinson SO Pronounces the
Prospective Value of Seven
Devils.

Mr.. Joseph Hutchinson, manager
of the Trade Dollar mine ut Silver
City, has had men prospecting in
That country for two years. Last
week he returned from n visit TO the
camp and is so taken with the results
Of his Investigations that as soon as
he can arrange other business mat
ters, he will return to Washington
county to operate actively in the
Devils country In an interview in
the Boise Statesman, Mr. Hutchin
son said :
The showing Is most encouraging
The ore is phcnomeually rich in
copper. Native copper has been
found in both the Queen and the
Peacock and load Of ore is now
being shipped from the former mine
that carries higher percentage OF
copper than any ore | have ever seen
or heard of.
The work that is going on now in
the Seven Devils. will make thai
camp one OF the best in the country
in the next two Years or it will de
monsirate that it is merely surface
proposition The showing alread,
made, however, is not such as to dis
courage those who are operating
there On the contrary, it is flatter
ing, and il the mines hold out a
depth is attained, the Seven Devil
will become one of the great cope
producers OF the world.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-A special cor respondent of the Herald writing from Puerto Plata under date of January 10, says: To-day Santo Domingo is lamenting the loss by an earthquake which occurred on the morning of De- cember 29 at a quarter to o'clock. A loud roaring noise was heard above the sounds of wind and rain: then came violent shock of earthquake. continu- ing for about twenty seconds.
 The shock caused a panic. Scores of persons ran out of their dwellings in their night clothing, and in few min utes shrieks and groans and shouts were heard all over the city. While the excitement still ran high at 1:3O o'clock in the afternoon of the same day there was another shock and the earth trembled at intervals until the last severe shock, which was at 1O:3O o'clock on the morning of January 2. Since then up to last night we have had several light shocks. The lower

MR. GLADSTONE
 IN MUCH PAIN Suffers From Neuralgia, but His Strength Has Not
 Departed.
Official Stater1ne ent Declares That There Is No Cause for Present
 Alarm.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Specfal Dispatch to The Call.
 LONDON. Jan. 1s-An official state ment issued tonight asserts that there is no cause for alarm as to MT. Glad stones health, but that it has not been benefited as much as hoped for at Cannes. The facial neuralgia pains per sist with daily fluctuations, owing to the cold winds and wet weather, but the complaint is quite local His physical powers have not suffered: his strength is good; his appetite excellent. He joins his family at meals and takes regular drives. weather permitting. It is not true that the family had been summoned. MT. and Mrs Henry Gladstone will go to Cannes immediately in accordance with an arrangement made weeks ago.
 Lord Stuart Kennel. with whom Mir Gladstone is visiting, telegraphed to- night at $40 that MT. Gladstone's health was good.
 The Westminster Gazette, although minimizing the alarming reports con- corning the health of Mir. Gladstone, is 'constrained to admit the fact that Mr. Gladstone has suffered great pain most of the time he has been at Cannes, being unable to leave his sofa.'
 Continuing. the Westminster Gazette remarks: So far as the vital organs are concerned, however, he Is no worse. On the other hand, continuous pain in a man of MT. Gladstone's age is undoubt- edly A symptom to cause anxiety.'

SENATOR MORGAN
 TALKS AND TALKS
 FOR ANNEXATION
While Opponents of the Treaty Are Hard at Work and Have Already Secured the De-

session that he probably would require one more day in which to complete his presentation of the subject.
 Senator Morgan dealt to-day with the question of the agricultural and con- mercial possibilities on the islands, with the character of the present gov ernment and with the position of the residents of the islands on the subject of annexation. He repeated his asser- tion that President Cleveland was fa- vorable to the acquisition of the isl- ands and expressed the opinion that it was his intention to have restored Queen Liliuokalani and to have nego- tiated with her a treaty of annexation. He elaborated his views on this subject at considerable length, saying that while he believed it was MT. Cleve- lands intention to annex the islands, he naturally changed his intention to do this through the restoration of the Queen when she made known her bloodthirsty disposition toward those who had dethroned her. He expressed the opinion that MT Cleveland would never have taken such a positive po- sition as he did take against the Dole Government and in opposition to an- nexation but for the antagonistic and misleading report of Commissioner Blount.
 The Senator was interrupted at this point by two or three Senators, who were opposed to the treaty, who wanted to know if it were not true that Cleve- land had withdrawn the treaty for an- nexation made by the Harrison ad- ministration. He admitted this was the case, saying 1t was a matter of record. but he still contended that under cir cumstances entirely to his liking MT. | Cleveland would have supported an nexation.
 MT Morgan had been convinced from | private interviews with the ex-Presi- dent that he not only believed in the wisdom of the annexation of Hawaii, l but that he would also have recom- mended the annexation of Cuba under proper conditions.
 MT. Morgan took up the criticisms | of the Government of Hawaii, defend | ing it in strong terms and eulogizing MT. Dole as one of the most competent rulers of the time. He reviewed MT l~Dole's history and said that gentle | man record showed lndt ne "ouiu pe a creditable head of any nation. He controverted the idea that the present i Government was, as had been charged missionary Government, claiming ! that it was in every way stanch and enterprising and abreast of the times
 He concluded that the resources of the country were such as to insure 8 very prosperous future, and predicted that Honolulu would at some time ir the not distant future attain to great commercial importance, equal in al probability to that of Hongkong ol other cities of like magnitude.
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-20

WdSn1ngtOn, Jan. l9.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama con- tinued his monologue on Hawaiian an- neXation to-day. Very few of his col leagues listened to him, and the pro- ceedings were utterly devoid of inter est. Even Senator Davis, the chair man of the Committee on Foreign Re lations, who has charge of the treaty, spent most of his time in the cloak. room, emerging now and then for courtesy sake.
 There is no longer any doubt in the minds of Senators familiar with the situation that the treaty is doomed to defeat, and this is why it's friends are now pushing the appropriation bills. They hope to gain a little time.
 Meanwhile the Washington Star is making bitter attacks on all of those who are opposed to annexation. This paper is striving to make it appear that the sugar trust is at work here to oppose the treaty But the Stars in fuence counts for little.
 Washington people know that 1t has a selfish interest at stake. It is known as the trolley organ" because its pro- prietors are interested in the street ear lines in this city, and the Washington people are well aware that when tine Star Is rampant in opposition to or in advocacy of any bill pending before Congress 1t has some selfish reason for it. But the reason for the Stars advocacy of the annexation treaty is better understood among certain Deo- pie in Honolulu than elsewhere.

Government was never constituted to last longer than a few months, and yet it has continued in power, principally by the force of arms and contrary to the will of the majority of the people, for more than four years-an almost extraordinary length of time for any political party, and especially for a Cabinet, to exist in Hawaii. Tropi- cal countries delight in change and novelty, especially among their rul- CTS.
 For an aristocratic oligarchy it has done we'll for our interior development even if it has, by force of its test oath, decreased the franchise from 14OOO to 26S7 to represent the interests of a pop ulation of nearly 10000 people. Even to its followers, the admission that in four years the Dole Govern ment has proved the fact that Hawaii can govern herself very respectfully, even under revolutionary form of government, in face of politically an- tagonistic majority, and has entitled that Government to the commendation of it's foreign friends as the 'best Gov ernment Hawaii ever had" is thought to be very weak-kneed argument in favor of annexation and the destruc . tion of this immaculate Government to give place to a form of government which at present is purely speculative, and probably not yet schemed out in the brain of any mortal man; but then our pious friends tell us that "the gods see everywhere" so that it may already | be arranged.
 The Japanese Minister is awaiting | further dispatches from his home Gov | ernment before communicating with l he Haxr ff1ra | it may be several days before he will | be able to accord any information. as | he IS not yet advised of his Govern ment's wishes. The dispatches antici- pated failed to arrive on the Peru. It may be said, however. that the rela- | tions between the two Governments are very cordial and not at all strained, as some dispatches are inclined to sug- gest.

The outcome is watched with grave interest.

For three days all business places were closed, the inhabi- tants giving themselves up to confess ing their sins, doing penance and pray ing.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

RANDSBURG, Cal, Jan. 19-A fire which started at 12:30 o'clock this morning in the rear of the Mojave Sa- loon on Rand street destroyed thirty buildings and caused a loss of fully ,000. So far as learned there was not a dollars insurance on any of the prop- erty destroyed. The fire consumed everything on both sides of Rand street from Staley avenue to the Elite Thea ter, and several buildings on Broad way. This includes the postoffice and some of the largest stores in the camp. The cause of the fire is at present un- known.
 The camp was saved from total de- struction by the absence of wind, hard iy a breath of air stirring last night. The homeless are all housed in tenn porary shelters, every barn in the camp being utilized for that purpose
 Many acts of real heroism developed last night. When hope seemed gone, as the flames threatened the Broadway Hotel, men faltered for a moment and then climbed upon the burning build ings and by main strength tore the flaming boards loose and hurled them far away, to be scattered and extin- guished beneath the feet of other work CTS.
 Had the fire crossed the street and attacked the Broadway Hotel, the en- tire camp would have been burned and so all worked with the energy of despair. But one accident worthy of note occurred, and that was the case of a man named Eness, who broke through the roof of a burning build ing and was quite badly burned on the leg before he could get out.
 The heaviest losers were the W. c. Wilson Company, about $20OOO; Ham, mond & Co, S35O0; Underhill &, Pores S4000; J. M. Crawford, s200O; s. J. Montgomery, $500; D. J. Mccormack s1000; St. Elmo Hotel. about s5000; George Toedt, $500; Austin Young Postmaster, $4Oo; Otto Diesler, s12OO; Ed James, $500; Price & Hopper, s25OO; Grand Central Hotel, s2000; E. A Ormsby, 5000: Leon Cerf Company, s450
 Some of the losers are already pre- pairing to rebuild, while others would do so if funds were available.
