The first witness this morning was the
Miller woman, who told about the ar
rival OF the party in the hack at o'clock
and the subsequent happenings in the
house. She said the young men were all
friendly and there was nothing to indi-
cate the trouble which later on took
place. She told of the harmless way the
quarrel began, and how Adams and Me-
Williams came 10 blows She said that
several blows were struck, and that she
tried to prevent the quarrel McWilliams
was furious and beyond control. 1t all
happened so quickly that she could not

MKINLEY'S COMING MESSAGE.
Form of Government Proposed for the
New Colonies.

Form of Government Proposed for the
New Colonies.
The New York World of the 21st
publishes what it claims is a fore
cast of President McKinley's forth
coming message to Congress. In
it the statement is made that the
President will favor civil governors
and no statehood for the new colo
MES. The President is averse to
having any of the colonies coded
TO the United States as war legacy
admitted into the union as states.
For this reason it will be necessary
to have a different form of govern
ment for the colonies than now
exists in the territories of Alaska,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari-
iona. A sufficient population is
the chief requisite to statehood.
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines could not come in as states
unless additional qualifications are
made. Such qualifications probably
will be suggested. The commission
to recommend form OF governments
for the Hawaiian Islands will, it is
presumed, report before the Presi-
dent sends in his message. He will
take its suggestions as a basis for
bis recommendations as to a gov
ernment for the new colonies. The
philippine archipelago, Porto Rico,
Guam and Hawaii will have similar
forms of control.

James J. Corbett of California, the
ex-champion heavy-w weight boxer
of the world, and Tom Sharkey of
Dundalk, Ireland. who first showed
his prowess as fighter while serv-
ing the United States as a blue
jacket in the navy, drew an enorm-
Gus crowd of sporting men to the
Lencx Athletic Club housee in New
York Tuesday night. Sharkey won
the fight on a foul in the ninth
round, Fitzsimmons says the fight
was a fake; that the whole thing
was put up job for the fight to
end in the ninth round. When
asked what he would do in regard
to any challenge that Corbett or
Sharkey would send to him, Fitz-
simmons said Il won't pay any
attention to them. Let them lick
somebody and get reputation"

BALDWIN HOTEL BURNS.
One of San Franchises old Landmark
Destroyed.
TWO PEOPLE ARE KILLED, FOUR IN.
JURED AND TEN MISSING.

The Baldwin hotel, for twenty
years one of the principal laud-
marks of San Francisco was total
ly destroyed by fire Wednesday
morning. There were 800 people,
guests and employees, in the hotel
when the fire broke out. E. J.
Baldwin, owner Of the hotel, had a
narrow escape from perishing.
Amid all the din he slept peacefully
until his room was broken into and
he was dragged from his bed. The
Baldwin theatre, the fashionable
amusement resort, was also de-
stroyed with the rest of the hotel
buildings. The fire originated in
the property room of the theatre.
Two people were killed, four others
injured and ten missing. Mrs. An
drews and two children, recent ar
rivals from Salt Lake are among
the missing.
Capt. J. L. White, San Fran
cisco capitalist, was one of the hotel
guests who persisted. His death
was most dramatic. Three women
appeared on a cornice of the fifth
floor on the Market street side of
the hotel. The 6remen could not
reach them with ladders and they
stood helpless screaming with terror.
Suddenly White came out Of a
window carrying small rope.
With this he lowered the women
into the arms of the firemen who
were waiting at the windows of the
next story. and then White started
down the rope, hand over hand
When be was half way down the
rope parted and the man who had
just saved three lives was dashed
to death on the pavement, one hun.
dred feet below.
The building Of the hotel began
in 1873 and was finished in 1877
its total cost, including ground and
furniture, being 100000, The
building had Corinthian columns
and was in the Renaissance style
1t was six stories high with man
sard roof and with a principa
dome 1852 feet in height. The hotel
occupied the lot at the intersection

The latest declaration as to the
legal status of the boycott is found
in an opinion rendered last week
by the Supreme Court of Michigan
in case which arose out of boy
colt of firm Of mill owners by
striking union Transfers. The
strikers picketed the mills and is
sued circulars establishing a boycott
on the firm. The court prefaced
an injunction against the strikers
with a statement of the law regu-
lating the relations between EN-.
ployer and employee. According
to the court the law protects en-
ployers in the right to employ whom
they please at prices they and their
employees can agree upon, and to
discharge them at the expiration of
their term of service for violation
of their contract. So, alas, the
laborers have a right to fix price
upon their labor, and to refuse to
work unless that price is obtained.
They have this right singly or in
combination. They may organize
in order to improve their condition
and secure better wages, and may
use persuasion to induce men to
join their organization or refuse to
work except for an established wage.
They may present their cause to
the public in newspapers or circu-
lars in a peaceable way and with
no attempt at coercion. This, how.
ever, marks the limit of either
party's right. The injunctiongrant.
ed by the court restrained the strik.
ers from picketing the premises and
from distributing boycott circulars
which were said 20 embody threat
ening language. Labor, as the de-
cision illustrates, possesses freedom
of action and of combination, bu,
that freedom must not be construed
to include intimidation or coercion
Of others whose right to labor o.
70 employ labor is equally free.

The Smoothest Train in the United
States.

On Sunday, November 20. the Burling-
ton Route made radical change In the
schedule of the Chicago Special, its finest
and fastest Denver Chicago train.
Heretofore, the train has left Denver
in the morning-immed,ately after the
arrival of the D. & R. G.. and Colorado
Midland trains from the West. 1t now
leaves at 1 40 p. NJ, arriving in Omaha
in time fo- breakfast next morning, and
at Chicago at 8:15 p. IN. the same day.
In other words it runs 1,G46 miles in
twenty nine and one half hours-an aver
age rate of speed of about thirty six
miles an hour. There are not half a
dozen long distance trains in the United
States which are scheduled faster than
thirty-six miles an hour. And there Is
not ons-n single one-which has as
good record as the Chicago Special for
being ION time all the time"
The equipment Of the Chicago Special
consists of one sleeping, one dining, one
library, and two chair cars. The cars are
of the newest design, and have been in
service less than six months. All of them
have the new wide vestibule and are
| lighted with Pintsch gas.
The sleeper is upholstered in peacock
blue, and contains twelve sections and a
drawing room. The toilet rooms are IN.

much of the trans popularity is due.

Our Washington correspondent
says that unless present plans are
changed, President Mckinley will
not, in his annual message to Con-
gress recommend any legislation
either for Porto Rico or the Philip
pines, owing to his belief that it
will be better to keep them under
military rule for at least a year and
carefully study the conditions before
attempting to decide what legisla-
ton will be needed. 1t does not
necessarily follow, however, that
Congress will take the same view of
the matter,

The United States peace commits
sioners have undoubtedly made
their final proposition. When the
conference opened Monday after
noon Judge Day addressing Senior
Montero Rios and his colleagues Of
the Spanish commission required
to the protracted negotiations and
reaffirmed the desire of the Ameri-
can commissioners to reach an
amicable conclusion. Then, hand
ing the American presentation,
Judge Day concluded his remarks
by saying that the Americans, pre-
ferring not to break the armistice
or to resume hostilities, had deter
mined to present another and final
proposition, which he hoped would
lead to speedy and amicable ad-
justment.
That portion of the presentation
setting forth the new proposal that
the United States must have pos.
session of the entire Philippine
archipelago with tender of $780,
100000 for a treaty cession of the
islands was then read, whereupon
the Spanish commissioners suggest
ed an adjournment until Wednes-
day.
The Spaniards' proposition to
invoke the Offices of q third power
to construe the words control, dis.
position and government of the
Philippines" was rejected by the
American commissioners on the
ground that the diction of the third
article of the protocol, dealing with
the Philippines, is broad and clear
as to afford no justification for an
arbitrator as between parties of the
agreement.
An analysis of the American
memorandum shows that all other
suggestions and other considera-
tons hinge upon treaty cession
at the amount named by the United
States and within two weeks. In
the event of cession, Spain may
enjoy for term Of IL years rights
of commerce in the Philippines
equal to those of the United States.
Ii the United States acquire the
islands by conquest Spain may not
enjoy such rights.
Should Spain refuse cession, she
would remain liable for indemnity
claims, national and individual
since the outbreak of the last Cuban
surrection. Should she refuse, she
will also lose, probably, as further
indemnity for the expense of con-
quest, one of the Carolines, which
she may now sell; and other cable
privileges within Spanish jurisdic'
ton might be taken by the United
States without any return to Spain
for them.
Monday evening the Spaniards
doubtless, did not know whether
they would accept or reject the
American terms. They are tele'
graphing the substance of the
American memorandum to Madrid
and they expect to make reply al
Wednesdays meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that
because one money offer is made
another and larger offer may follow
pressure upon the American com
missioners. But if this be THEN
expectation, it will not be realized
The American terms submitted al
most at the close of the eighth

Havana Lottery No More.

One of the most clearly marked
indications of American rule III
Cuba, says Havana correspondent
of the New York Herald, is the
passing of the Havana lottery. Last
Monday morning I witnessed what
will in all probability be its last
drawing. According to the govern
ment schedule, the next drawing
should be held the FIRST OF next
month, but the exact date has not
yet been advertised, and it is accept
ed as foregone conclusion that be-
fore that time arrives Los Yankis'
will have interfered and driven the
lottery from Cuba forever.
In speaking of the lottery, the
Condo de la Reunion told me that
the receipts had fallen off very ma
terially since the American occupa-
ton of Eastern Cuba. Santiago, he
said, was formerly one of the best
markets for the sale of lottery
tickets.
II do not very we'll see," said the
Condo, show the United States gov
eminent can dispense with the lot.
terry without causing a great dissat-
isfaction throughout Cuba. We
are as much accustomed to buying
lottery tickets as postage stamps.
Savings banks have never been a
success in the island. One was tried
several years ago in Havana, but ii
failed miserably, and its president
committed suicide. Cubans are
accustomed to putting their spare
money into the lottery as an invest
ment. Any man who plays contin.
uously and perseveringly is almost
certain to get back more money
than he paid into the lottery, besides
always having chance of winning
prize that will make him comfort
ably rich forlife." The Condo de Ia
Reunion, who is large plantation
owner and one of the leading auton
omists in Havana, voiced the Span
ish and Cuban opinion of the lottery
